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 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 141 points 2 months ago (4 children)

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 2 months ago (3 children)

Now please explain what kayfabe is.

[–] IonAddis@lemmy.world 55 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] Norin@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] hate2bme@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Thank you also

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 40 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

Hell of a heel.

[–] dumbass@leminal.space 24 points 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)
[–] Chekhovs_Gun@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

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

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 47 points 2 months ago

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

[–] Toribor@corndog.social 26 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] Meron35@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago

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

[–] saltesc@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

The ™ against his name is 👌

[–] Banichan@dormi.zone 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 31 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

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

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

[–] GreyEyedGhost@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months 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.

[–] GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

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

[–] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This looks like a virgin vs chad meme.

[–] d00phy@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

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

[–] aluminium@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

do whatever you want

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 11 points 2 months ago

Guy on the right's dice:

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

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

[–] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 2 months ago

Dungeons & Dumbbells

[–] blanketswithsmallpox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

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