    * Not allowed to get the other characters in the D&D game to start playing Papers & Paychecks.
    ** Not allowed to get them to start a Dark Heresy game in the game in game.
    *** So not allowed to let the game in a game in a game be more fun than the D&D game we're actually playing because generic fantasy is done so ****ing blah.

    It is rather easy at the first level of inception: the dnd characters does one or two adventures then have enough money to play papers and paychecks a lot.
    Now in papers and pay-checks organising sessions of dark heresy is hard because you have to work a job and pay your taxes or else you get to become an hobo on the streets.

    ******* you should not go deeper even if it was not explicitly forbidden by "you do not need to go deeper": it was an euphemism.

    * No longer allowed to nearly break my own brain trying to figure out whether or not a session dedicated almost entirely to curse-breaking where only a couple of players got to do much of anything, but where two players (when they worked in tandem) ended up with the ability to summon mariachi bands at-will is a net gain or a net loss.

    For those disinclined to follow the link, they had a long-running ad campaign on the theme "we went to this world-class restaurant and replaced the coffee they usually serve with Folgers Crystals. Let's see if they can tell the difference" followed by interviews with patrons about their coffee.

    They were so ubiquitous that parodies of tgem became ubiquitous too. "We went to this Emergency Room snd replaced the blood they normally give with Folgers Crystals".

    File it under "it was funny if you're fifty."

    Why do they all name themselves "Karen"?

    * May not interpret internet slang literally while pretending not to know its real meaning
    ** May not speak in defense of real people named Karen because I dislike internet slang using real people names to refer to meme-people archetypes
    *** May not point out that people named Chad are just dudes man like everyone else and you shouldn't put such high expectations on them y'know?
    **** May not propagate a third meme-person archetype known as "Mctibbleson" that as a parody of this trend, referring to "Mctibblesons" and "what they're like" but without providing any context or information to clear it up as to whether its positive, negative or anything.
    ***** May not proclaim that the internet need someone to make fun of it in response to it making fun of everything else.
    I'm also on discord as "raziere".
