I keep on scrolling past this thread, misreading the last word as "wife", and doing a double-take.

What does it say about me that I'm less horrifiedif the title ends in wife than if it ends in waifu?


I had a DM that did this sort of thing. What these DMs never realize is that players immediately pick up on this kind of DMPC and instinctively try to kill it, and that protecting such DMPCs with plot armor just makes the instinct worse.

My DM doesn't realise 'operation: kill the DMPC' is still being planned, I think a half-orc lore Bard will let me do it.

It means that you are normal. According to Urban Dictionary a Waifu is:

"A term coined by Otaku ... for their 2D significant others; predominantly anime and video game characters. A Waifu, in contrast to a harem, is the love between one man and his one and only Waifu."

And a wife implies a real woman

Except that thwn would mean the OP killed a real life person opposed to a fictional object (subject?) of fantasy. If the OP killed his DMs wife, that is.

While it may be technically less useful as a measuring system, the imperial system the US uses works juuuuust well enough for people not to ditch it for being too useless, and is ingrained in our education/upbringing enough that replacing it would be quite the chore. It may not be technically the most useless measuring system, but it's the worst by virtue of being diabolically difficult to replace with a new system.

I've noticed that a lot of people on this forum seek to understand social behavior in a strange way. Like, just the fact that people feel the need to highlight sarcasm in blue. Never seen that before. Do you really need a special cue for that?

Yes. The subtleties of speech can make picking up sarcasm difficult, sometimes, and without tone or body language to read it becomes even more difficult.

Also, that's displaying social behavior, not seeking to understand it.

Who focused on the fact you used the term waifu? A few people didn't recognize the term and asked for clarification. That's it. Some people saw, or thought they saw, recognizable speech patterns from a different board and made some inferences from that but that's just what it is; people expect patterns and sometimes see them whether there's anything to it or not.

On the other hand, SFW is mostly for pictures and stuff, things people can see being all front and central on your screen. Written innuendo, as unsubtle as it may be in this case, does not quite have the same impact, in my personal opinion. Does it cross PG13? I'm not sure actually, this topic does seem a little more blunt than your average conversation with James Bond, even though a lot less people die during it.

More seriously, the thread seems to have devolved into a pandemonium of memes, innuendo, jokes, and general lunacy; you can't make much sense of it because there isn't a lot of sense to be found in the first place.

I didn't mean to sound that way. People literally said they were hijacking my topic and stopped responding to me earlier in the thread.


Anyway, yesterday we all came prepared with new characters. I made a wizard so that I could be a necromancer like I said I would, but you guys failed to notify me that I can't even animate dead til like level 5. So now I have this character who's pale and skinny, has a wannabe emo goth attitude, and can't even summon a single zombie.

Meanwhile, the other guys in the party made a monk and a fighter. The cleric remained clerical.

The DM made some hamfisted attempts at guiding us back to his intended storyline. Turns out that the lord faked his own death, so really we massacred the town for no reason.

At all y'all's behest, I played along with the DM. The other 2 guys besides the cleric kept looking at me like they were ready to burst out laughing. They probably thought I was trolling the DM into believing I was going with the story, only so I could screw it all up at the opportune moment, so they went along with it. We actually got a lot done there, but I can't help but feel like I disappointed the guys by not giving them a payoff

As predicted, the cleric did steamroll everything. The monk died too.

That was what I was going to suggest, but his group may not have the SpC or Libris Mortis.

@Op: You're into Hard Mode now. See how long you can keep playing along, while simultaneously stringing the other guys along in hopes of the troll-flip payoff they think you are building up towards. But wow, that is a terribly hamfisted swerve back onto the railroad, I agree.

There's also heroes of horror, ghostwalk, magic of faerun, and player's guide to faerun. I suppose it's possible they have none of the above but lacking the SpC seems..... odd to me after all these years. It was one of the few books that went back into print after the 3e - 4e transition debacle.
