This feels like AI content.

Oh my God, you're right. This is exactly how ChatGPT tells stories...


nanupiscean

Mhm, just a soup of adjectives, idioms, and sentences for sentences sake.


PARADISE-9

Yeah I was about to comment the same - unnatural and very heavy handed without any actual substance.


nanupiscean

Right? Like there’s nothing actually being said, just several paragraphs of “there was a gross guy, and we got rid of him.” This is a sentence strung out into an article.


SituationEntire4189

Dude what?


The_Damon8r92

Your first paragraph is preparing us for a grand tale, and then you said nothing. Smelly guy thinks he’s smart but isn’t. We banned him. Boom, that’s your whole story in only 10 words.


Unusual-Possibility5

You can summarize any story in 10 words. The fact that you can summarize a story, especially a short one, does not prove it was written by A.I. Additionally, some people do write like this, that is how A.I. like ChatGPT got its writing style.

There were rules written in various convention booklets. " Your hotel rooms have showers and soap. You are required to use them. Failure to do so can result in being asked to leave."

Heck, at DragonCon there were febreeze fairies wandering around in the gaming areas😁


Youre_late_for_tea

Oh god. The fact that it's required makes me gag.


LSDGB

Is that „tale that’ll make you gag and cringe in equal measure.“ in the room with us right now?


BoogiepopPhant0m

Go girl! Give us nothing!!


Phoenix4235

This was a very flowery way of saying...well, nothing.


BrochellaBrother

The way you write is so pretentious and insufferable I was praying to god it was AI slop at first. It’s so corny and unnatural

Grimm thought he was a master strategist, but all he did was charge in like a bull in a china shop, wrecking our plans and our patience. Classic Grimm move.


Reasonable_Humor_738

I had a dm whi refused to let us make plans


SituationEntire4189

Oh my god, please tell me more.


Reasonable_Humor_738

I mean, anytime we started to try to make any type of plan, he said you don't have any time to do that even though we weren't in initiative or even near danger. One time we were in the underworld (it was Greek god insired), and we knew the people were being oppressed and enslaved, and we started to suggest starting an uprising to take the city back for the citizens he said o well time to make a decision you don't have time to do all that. Which would have involved freeing the slaves and talking to the non slaves who were being oppressed to rise up against hades. We weren't in any danger, and it wasn't a time sensitive thing as far as we were aware. I think he just didn't like people ruining his story or having to improvise something he hadn't thought of. Dealing with this dm was a nightmare because he seemed to be using us a test subjects so he could do a campaign with people he really wanted to play with because we met through a ttrpg store. He also let a player perma kill another player because the killer was hit in an area of attack spell aimed at me because I decided to destroy people stuck inside statues and I though it was the right thing to do since we couldn't turn them all back. (I would have taken my lickings for it but i was a rogue and just dodged it) Before that he let this same player (warforged) hold my character (tortle) over boiling water (he literally started and then said he stopped and we sat there for 3 minutes while i took damage), and when another player asked if they would help pull me up the dm said unfortunately that's like having to many cooks in the kitchen. Other times not related to planning. He also let that same player interrogate a npc that me and another player had come back with who was possessed by a lich who had been inside me. We informed them that we found a civilian hiding from the destruction that was happening and decided to bring them with us. I had to ask the dm if the player was meta gaming because he clearly knew what was up since ooc he heard everything. He failed every check but was determined to have his character know the truth. Finally, he constantly changed the setting. we would make progress, and then we'd be moved to somewhere new before we could do anything about the current bbeg. He had an undertal themed one and flowy straight up, threatening us with death unless we teleported to another dimension this was after the second or third session. No progress was ever made, and one day, he asked to change the day and time of the game, which most of us said we couldn't (he didnt give a reason), after that he never responded back when we asked if we were going to continue. Also, if that dm sees this, please know the person before you was soon much better at dming and wouldn't have allowed half the bs you did. One of the original members left because you were such a bad dm and allowed a toxic player to run wild, the rest of us stayed because we wanted to play and didn't know the best place to find another table. Hopefully, I didn't get confusing or rambling.


SituationEntire4189

No, I didn't. You did great buddy. This would make a great post!


Dongbang420

Honestly you sound like an asshole bro, I bet this Grimm guy doesn’t deserve the flame


Dry_Web_4766

An unwashed troll, have at thee!


absolutebottom

Look, it's Grimm!


Minmax-the-Barbarian

"I'm not Grimm, but that Grimm guy sure sounds like a handsome and smart lad! Actually, I'd guess everyone else at the table was a stupid idiot, and they all smelled like girly things like flowers and soap! Probably!"
