Jesus, guys, lay off, Maxwell just prefers the action economy, customization, and strategic depth of the Pathfinder 2nd Edition system.

[–] givesomefucks@lemmy.world 64 points 1 year ago

He doesn't like being confined by someone else rules, that's why he's been GMing the same homebrew campaign for the last 25 years.

Everyone else quit years ago, it's just him rolling dice then looking surprised into a mirror.

3 action economy is pretty sweet

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago

And just all around better monster design and a higher skill cap.

For those who don’t know, the guy on the left is a professional wrestler called MJF.

His whole persona is dedicated to being a tool, and he’s pretty good at it. Highlights include telling the world that he’s “better than Moses.”

What I’m saying is that he’s doing a bit in this image. It’s kayfabe.

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 41 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Now please explain what kayfabe is.

[–] IonAddis@lemmy.world 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Acting, literally. Playing a character to entertain. Some characters are villains.

I think this is why random wrestling dudes sometimes successfully slide into Hollywood acting careers.

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 3 points 1 year ago

For more context. He was fueding with someone who was enthusiastic about DnD

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Kayfabe is the wrestling term for always staying “in character.”

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

Thank you also

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

He's already one of my all time favourites, he's so damn good at being a hateable piece of shit with one of the most punchable smug little faces.

Even his parents hate him!

[–] kboy101222@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Just making sure - is he actually a bad dude or just one hell of a heel?

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 1 year ago

Hell of a heel.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 24 points 1 year ago

Just one of the greatest heels ever. I've heard nothing but good things about him out of character.

[–] generic_computers@lemmy.zip 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Not all heels wear masks

"only nerds play that dungeons and dragons fantasy crap... Oh shit I'm late for my fantasy football league!"

-meatheads

[–] barcaxavi@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Funny, but partly because I don't even know how would I even be late from a league.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 47 points 1 year ago

Guy who’s too cool to roleplay can’t find another human being to photograph him.

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 26 points 1 year ago

Using computers, liking comic book characters and tabletop gaming have been mainstream for like 20+ years. Lifting is cool too though. I just let people like what they like.

[–] philthi@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago

I mean, he looks strong, but look how hard he's having to work to hold up his phone... I can do that with one hand while on the loo and barely even have to flex!

[–] roguetrick@lemmy.world 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Man, you play a session with a body builder though and they'll just never stop eating. Just peanuts peanuts and peanuts.

[–] Monstrosity@lemm.ee 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same shit happens when you have sex with them. Extremely frustrating.

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago

Ikr. Had sex with one and couldn't stop eating his nuts

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 18 points 1 year ago

The ™ against his name is 👌

[–] Banichan@dormi.zone 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't play Dungeons and Dragons because you're dumb af

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You don't play Dungeons & Dragons because it's too nerdy, I don't play Dungeons & Dragons because it's not nerdy enough. We are not the same.

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I don't play it because Hasbro. I don't know where that puts me. I'm just sick of their shit. Paizo for life.

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Paizo seemed like half measures to me. I'm a Steve Jackson man now

[–] whoisearth@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a name I haven't heard in a long time

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They stopped putting out new versions due to completeness. j/k, but I'd love to try out a GURPS campaign.

No j/k, they pretty much decided that the base is solid, and shifted their focus to supplements. I'm having a lot of fun with GURPS.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago

The longevity of this image shows that kayfabe isn't dead.

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This looks like a virgin vs chad meme.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

I mean one of these two was married to Sofia Vergara, so…

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago

do whatever you want

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 year ago

Guy on the right's dice:

spoilerCourtesy of Evan and Katelyn

He seems like more of a WoD guy tbh, the drama kids always have one meat-head friend

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 1 year ago

Dungeons & Dumbbells

This would be even funnier if the person on the right was the graphics designer or editor lol.
