@Mycroft as far as 5e goes I don't have any planned and we're not playing PF so - yea!

@blackle@dev.glitch.social haha shit I'll have to get it next time

@Mycroft I'm not gonna do this in 5e cuz progression works differently

@Mycroft also double 1 is "do it again but your penalty will be more severe if you fail a 3rd time"

@Mycroft I like it conceptually but yes you're right. That's why when I run it if you beat (typically DC 10 in PF) on another attack roll nothing else happens. Fighters get past that as a problem very quickly, others don't

@Mycroft mine are usually "roll again and if you roll super low again something different might happen" - but it doesn't translate well for 5e compared to PF

@Gaypow @Kasran lol that sounds awesome. I'm not looking to run a campaign though

@PaulFerence being overstimulated by something is a thing people can experience to different degrees, same with disassociation, and it can be a thing that's used commonly but when the folks I'm commissioning use triggered it's always over something that's just a part of the game that made them lose. I'm much more a fan of "being salty" over such stuff

@PaulFerence The way you phrased it sounded like a challenge to the idea that it's use is harmful- like it's not a big deal nobody takes this stuff seriously and that normalizing it's use this way doesn't hurt anyone.

People laugh at "triggers" on literally a daily basis now as if they're not real so apologies if I come off way too passionate and angry but I hate how this normalization of pain takes away its validity in peoples' eyes.

@PaulFerence my dude, there are a lot of things you have to learn about mental health

imagine not being able to focus on anything and being unresponsive to someone talking to you - that's a form of disassociation i have

additionally, overstimulation can cause me to enter this kind of state if i'm having bad mental days

that is how mine manifests and it's garbage to make light of triggers in the way that gamers say things like "healers get triggered by this WoW raid!"

@aprrrl@witches.town @noiob @thefishcrow @aprrrl @kyra @typhlosion i'm real bad at improvising but i do a lot better when i have a solid map to work off of and remind myself of stuff that's there
