The reason why people love DND fights the epicenter of the reasons why everyone hates VSBWRPing

8-C Reggy vs 9-B Brolaire, high tier shenanigans allowed I guess

Reggy:

Brolaire:

Inconclusive:

 

[Mr. Bambu]

So

Reggy isn't a smurf, apparently

Brolaire flexs 4-D luck from literal gods and intimidates Reggy into nonexistence for not being very bro-like

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Brolaire gets a lot of critical failures, that's all I'm saying

 

[DMUA]

Actually, the dice gods say "no" and he intimidates Reggy's luck out of existence

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Oh he has actual 4D luck

Ok

 

[Mr. Bambu]

At the whim of those gods though, presumably

Like his story is barebones but they make anything awesome happen for him

 

[DMUA]

He literally intimidated time into reversing to let him reroll over and over again

He's Reggy but the GM can't even fix him

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Gotta love that sweet, sweet, double standard

 

[DMUA]

When did I say Brolaire wasn't a smurf

 

[Yobo_Blue]

When did I say anything about smurfs?

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

DMUA has lots of double standards

When I give manipulation of everything to my characters he says it's bad but when he gives it to his characters it's fine.

When I have a broken character from an RP he gets mad but then gets even happier upon seeing another RP character that's even more broken winning against my character.

Sometimes I think he just doesn't like me... ;_;

 

[Yobo_Blue]

You're extremely annoying, if only because you're really good at what you do Monarch

 

[Promestein]

I'll just say this here and now, you two better stop with the mutual antagonism and with bickering every time you interact.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Is that directed towards me or.....?

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

Nah it's towards me.

I know it doesn't always look like it but we're actually just having friendly banter Prom.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

Doesn't look really friendly to me

 

[Promestein]

Yeah I really can't tell. Have fun then.

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

We just have different opinions over characters that we enjoy needling each other about.

We bond over good writing.

boy am I going to be depressed if he doesn't see it that way

 

[DMUA]

When I give manipulation of everything to my characters he says it's bad but when he gives it to his characters it's fine.

My default reaction to everything that exists is either "no" or "H", with high level Bambu's Homebrew and VSBWRPing in the former and everything else in the latter

Besides you straight up ripped that from me Man, of course it caused upsetness

 

[Monarch_Laciel]

I didn't rip it from you, I just realised after reading Dresden Files that the main character of that can do an absolute shitload of stuff and his versatility wasn't ruining the story so I could probably bring back the "Authority over the world" where they can manipulate lots.

 

[DMUA]

Okay, good to know

[ThePerpetual]

I'm pretty sure Reggy being a disembodied abstract: a "possibility": works hard against him in this particular match-up, not before. Brolaire's entire shtick is to negate "possibilities" if they'd be lame or anti-climactic, etc., and Reggy's whole "dumb luck- you can't dodge- I kill in one hit" combo of Luck/Death Manip./Spatial Manip. definitely would qualify in the eyes of basically any GM I know as anti-climactic or "uncool". Even if Brolaire did fall victim to it, in all likelihood he'd just scare death into giving him enough tries to make Reggy c e a s e and move on with his life. Even assuming that Reggy can't truly die to Concept Manip. and all that, if he's made no longer able to interact with Brolaire in any meaningful capacity that'd be Win by BFR, no?

Uh, so, I guess I vote for Brolaire, by virtue of tomfoolery.

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I think most of Reggy's luck stuff seems to be pretty climatic, and I was the GM for half that RP.

 

[ThePerpetual]

But would it be generally considered "uncool"? Hmmmm.

That sort of power generally just seems really open-ended/up to interpretation, honestly... out of curiosity, since I'm less familiar with the story, what level was Brolaire during all of this?

 

[Yobo_Blue]

I also thought Reggy vs Walter was pretty climatic, and Reggy didn't really need any luck for that, so IDK.

 

[Mr. Bambu]

@Perp undefined. It was called D&D and it was said they were just starting so I'd assume level 1-2, but the video never specified.
