You don't have to pull your hair out every time, man.

>>43838119
So what? It just makes me that much more excited to play again next week. Other forms of media have been doing this for years.

Just pretend it didn't happen, how hard can that be?
Although if the campaign depended on 3-4 specific characters it's probably shit anyway

Most sessions should end on cliffhangers, that's a good thing.

Holy hell, that burns all the way to the soul.
Also, if a GM did that, they'd be an utter douche. Just saying.

>>43839755
Well to be fair, few GMs would throw an enemy like Saitama at the party.
>>
>>43840434
All it takes is one guy willing to talk it out and saitama will respond like a decent, reasonable human being, even if said guy talking it out is a 60ft tenticle monster etc.
Oh and said monster hasent actually done anything yet.

>>43840616
Saitama responds like a decent, reasonable human being in most situations.

If you start destroying shit and murdering people, he slaps your shit. Seems like a decent and reasonable thing to do if you ask me.

>player submits another chaotic good character

I don't even care about alignment but for once in my career as a DM, I'd like a player to play a character that wouldn't kill literally anyone in the world for money or experience. Just for a change of pace.

I think Batoto has the webcomic and KissManga has the manga.

I've read again the fight between the monster associations and hero's associations, and just realized how King is the ultimate Bard, with his Engine being the instrument.

Don't worry.
Even when players tell you that you never actually believe them and assume there are still problems that they are just being too polite to tell you about.
