Thank you Carlin! This podcast is about what not to say at the table and why.We also examine what these hot button words really mean.Drama Queen/Rigmarole Player, Powergamer, Rules Lawyer, Munchkin, Metagame, Railroad, Realistic, Fair
Oo, good one! That would really apply if you were playing a Firefly game... A job on the rim = Rim Job?I still think my rapier comment was a moment of pure evil/ brilliance. That was totally unscripted by the way
honestly I think you could have dropped fair. It's not as emotional of a word as the other 7. Fair is basically just whining, but saying "it's not fair" doesn't have the impact that calling someone a munchkin does.

Fair is basically just whining, but saying "it's not fair" doesn't have the impact that calling someone a munchkin does. Fair was one of the first 3 words that inspired this discussion. This is a problem for GMs because it can ruin the mood for the whole group. You are in a big fight and one character is getting low in hp and then all of a sudden they say, "its not fair." Then the game grinds to a halt.
I really liked the discussion on Rules Lawyers, especially the example about a guy going with Precise Shot + others only to find out that there's no penalty for firing into melee, I've been that guy before and it kinda sucks. What I want to know is how you guys feel when a player knows the rules better than the DM, and points things out. In my experience, it pisses the DM off, as it kinda undermines their authority, you know? Any thoughts?
