"Oh, yeah, safety tools are an absolute must. And that's regardless of intensity. I'm pretty brutal when I'm in the zone, and I've hurt people to the brink of tears time and time again, but I always check in to make sure they're okay with that. And the same goes with something gentler. Remember, even if you're in control, it's not just about what you want."

Good DMs anyway.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The first part is definitely true.

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm confused what you disagree with in the second part.

[–] Ziglin@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I certainly wouldn't consider myself in control and I'm not very brutal when I'm in the zone. My roleplaying is just higher quality.

As DM, things only happen if you let them, so you are in complete control. And roleplay is where I'm at my most brutal, so I don't think you can make a judgement call on quality based on that alone.
