I don't really like the idea of punishing players in game like that

We're all there to have fun and we all have different ideas of fun

Had a player once try to pickpocket another, it didn't go well.

They passed the perception check, and also rolled a successful hit. Dude dropped like a sack of potatoes.

The red looks like it's above the meme?

Like it's piled on top?

It's hard to explain...

It's wrong in a strange way

Thank you for your efforts

I like the sound of that

I'm going to have to keep that idea in my back pocket for later for sure

Straight up my parents did this all the way into the early 2000s

They really didn't give a fuck about other people

I'm a forever DM so I've got so many unused character ideas that turn into either NPCs or if a player is like "I forgot to make a backstory"

But with the amount of improv I do as a DM it's very little effort for me.

Though I agree it should be discussed as part of session 0. As it'd be rude not to.

Session 0 for my groups is always the same really, we sit around boucing ideas off of each other for characters, things we don't want to be touched on during the campaign, and what kind of campaign we want.

Seriously this opens up so much creativity for the DM.

"This person seems familiar to you, but you're not sure why."

"You think you've been here before, but you're not sure when."

"Being on a ship feels like home, but you have no memories of ever being on a ship."

"Upon seeing the ruins of the village you find yourself overcome with sorrow, you feel like you've lost something important but you don't know what."

Part of the adventure can be a quest to reunite them with their lost memories.

Exactly

It feels the right kind of welcoming with the flowers that's for sure

NGL I'd prefer that to Netflix

That's really interesting about Sharpies, I would have never known that about Sharpies.

Edit: I accidentally the word "never" above.

This meme is above my tax bracket

Slack there.
