Hadn't seen it in that phrasing before. Pretty stupid as an idea though. The issue is not that someone wants to follow diagetic character motivations, or even that someone else wants to play with a focus on successful combat encounters regardless of diagetic knowledge.

It is our duty as organizers of play to prevent these kinds of people from playing different games at the same table. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 child) It's not just the GM's responsibility.
