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

[–] [email protected] 64 points 2 weeks 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

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.

[–] [email protected] 41 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Now please explain what kayfabe is.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 weeks ago

Thank you also

[–] dumbass 40 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 25 points 2 weeks ago

Hell of a heel.

[–] dumbass 24 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] [email protected] 47 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 weeks 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!

[–] [email protected] 21 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 18 points 2 weeks ago

The ™ against his name is 👌

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 2 weeks 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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

This looks like a virgin vs chad meme.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 weeks ago

do whatever you want

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 weeks ago

Guy on the right's dice:

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Dungeons & Dumbbells

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

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