Turns it into shit you mean. I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs. Neither do I get why you need to show your addiction off to everybody.
You sound more like a child. Only children think that they need to do drugs to be grown up.
A little bit of alcohol can help, to be fair, just to get you lowering your inhibitions enough to say the slightly off the walls ideas you wouldn't have said otherwise. Any other recreational drug is probably gonna make you dumber to play with, I agree, as will getting outright tipsy or drunk.
What’s stopping you from saying that without being intoxicated.
Dunno, anon, had a GM that required two bottles of beer to actually stop being self-conscious and start roleplaying various characters and provide descriptions, rather than being dry and to-the-point.
But I guess in the perfect no-games world, anything that is fun is haram, for only serious business and work count
It has nothing to do with being too serious but everything with being a degenerate moron. Also unlike you I’m actually running games.
I have. Get better friends
My friends are better they are fun without needing drugs.
damn its obvious youve never been to a club/ rave/ or music festival/ or even house party have you?
should you be getting fricked up zonked out of your mind everyday or night? no.
is it fine to let loose and have fun and socialize or relax, or party with other humans in a fun and relatively safe manner once in a while? sure, drugs and alchohol when taken in a responsible manner do have the ability to make most ppls social evenings or activities enhanced, whether its sitting around rolling dice and making stories, partying with friends or strangers or ppl of the opposite sex at a club or rave or festival, having intercourse with a special or not so special someone, or watching movies or even reading a book or drawing and sketching at home with relaxing or weird music in the background
is it for everyone? no,but that doesnt mean lots of ppl in society dont like it either.
you dont ALWAYS have to be "mr.mature" all the time some of the most intelligent or responsible ppl in history also partook in festivities and parties with the fellow ppl, you dont think Socrates didnt say "frick it! carpe diem!" and partook in grecian/roman orgies and parties?
get real.
If you drink or do drugs you’ve already broken the balance in life. Don’t act like being a moron is something to be proud of. I have seen enough people at parties make a fool of themselves by puking in front of other people or losing the ability to even stand up straight.
I assume you've also seen significantly more people who drink in moderation, don't puke and don't lose the ability to stand up straight. If not, you should rethink the company you keep.

>ADHD meds treats you towards being normal and functional
ADHD people on meds do not act like normal or functional human beings they act like meth addicts
I've only one friend with ADHD, but he definitely acts more normal on meds than without them. Like, before he got his medication he couldn't watch a movie from start to end without constantly pausing it to make questions or comments that came to his mind, which sometimes were completely unrelated to the movie. After he started taking his meds he can actually focus on things.
Im surprised these are the replies i get, ppl thinking im mr.virgin >Oi vey goym
k pothead
Actually the opposite if i smoke too much or a high THC then i panic and freak out, honestly ill just smoke a puff or 2 before bed of low thc weed to help sleep, or very rarely on a weekend ill smoke higher thc weed and either do some soul searching or listen to relaxing meditating music and draw or space out and play a game or watch a movie
Before the pandemic i hadnt smoked weed in like 10 yrs then it became legal across the country and was fairly easy to get, as long as i dont over do it then it helps or makes things more enjoyable or relaxed if i accidentally overdue it then its a nightmare that scares me straight and makes me take long breaks from it. In some ways its better than most alcohol or drugs because it periodically keeps me from getting too dependent on it or overusing it by giving me these scary experiences to make me not want to do it all the time
Alchohol doesnt really do that unless you get to the point of going to the ER to pump your stomach which to me is mega rare. Alchohol will keep giving you good feeling everytime unless you drink wayyy too much, so it never really forces you to take breaks if youre a person that gets dependent on it.
Having been to nightclubs(goth) while high, it's worse. If you like drugs sure, but trust me that's the experience you're wanting, not the club. The actual club experience is much better while sober. If not, the club you're at is shit. Socialization is actually feasible as people maintain coherency. Druggies aren't there for the socialization, they are there as an excuse to get high. I like weed, but I don't make excuses to smoke it by pretending it somehow makes socialization better while it inhibits my ability to function, I just do it cause it makes me feel good.
Same goes for house parties I've been to. Ones wherein we were all coherent or mostly so always ended up being a blast, ones with everyone high, and/or drunk usually just ended up with people vomiting, hooking up and regretting it, or some other mishap.
Drugs always have and always will make your ability to socialize worse once you actually cross that line into being drunk/high. You're just so braindead at that point you don't understand it until someone shows you a video of you trying to talk to some girl while barely being able to stand up. I will say it's sometimes a good comedy show for the designated driver though.
Ah yes, because going to clubs and house parties to socialize is characteristic of an introvert

Drugs are based, but only if they help improve cognition (see: tobacco) or put you on a trip. Weed is for low IQ morons of course.
A little bit of alcohol can help, to be fair, just to get you lowering your inhibitions enough to say the slightly off the walls ideas you wouldn't have said otherwise. Any other recreational drug is probably gonna make you dumber to play with, I agree, as will getting outright tipsy or drunk.
>t. never played drunk with drunk people
You are genuinely missing out. Some of the better games I had were when everyone was barely conscious due to combination of fatigue, alcohol and the hour. Including pic related
Low amounts of booze is fine. If anyone pulls ahead of the pack and gets too drunk or too high, it becomes impossible to play because now one of the players is a mental invalid who still thinks he's as sharp and attentive as before, and totally insists that he has a tolerance (literally doesn't exist. The side effects are still there, but habitual use makes you numb to them, while still hindering you just as much) while he's spacing out and occasionally interrupting the game because someone said a funny word and he can't contain his shit anymore.
I find it comes down to the individual players. I’ve played with some that can handle it and some that can’t.
NTA, but I played with that guy. We also had a dude that later got a liver transplant because he drank so mich. They were actually terrible players, fricked up or sober and terrible people too. It’s the only game I’ve ever scuttled mid campaign.

There are people who game their lifestyle and personality around weed. It's worse than addicting.
They don't have to know about drugs. They only have to remember the selfish buttholes who did drugs around them.
Only takes one player to get too intoxicated to run game night.
Alcohol is not "meds." It
Since when have christians invaded /tg/ like this? The hell is up with these puritanical values
Or is it just one person doing their don't do drugs bit?
Worst case scenario. Some of us have played with others who go way too far with their liquor and become blackout drunk and ruin the session. Not everyone has had your experiences and you're finding out that more people than you think have had bad experiences with intoxicated gaming.
Then simply don't fricking drink/serve till blackout drunk. Seriously, and talk to the player, like someone with actual communication skills.
You do realise, that ADHD meds are ''speed" right? as in the drug. (or more commonly a variation on it, though speed itself is also sometimes prescribed)
>ADHD meds treats you towards being normal and functional

I only have one friend with ADHD and medication for it, but he certainly acts more like a normal person on medication than without it. Specifically he's calmer and more focused with his medication and kind of annoyingly hyper without it. Do you happen to have a whole lot of friends with ADHD or something?

Yeah, and you know for a fact that these people actually have ADHD and aren't just faking it to get meds - something people sometimes try? What you're describing doesn't sound at all like the typical effects of stimulants on people with diagnosed ADHD. Calmer and more focused is how people with ADHD usually are on their meds.

The latter just notes how those differences are noted.

Me neither. I've seen plenty of people who claim that it makes them better, though. If they are somehow right, I truly dread to see what they'd be like sober. Of course, I'll never know.
Well, naturally.
When you get drunk/smoke/self-stupify, everything seems better.
Every idea is a great idea. Everything you do is rad as frick. Because you're stupid, and easily impressed. That's why people like it.
Ignoring the possibility of you doing something that harms you later on, it is annoying as hell for everyone else to deal with if we are trying to play a game
If you want to get drunk, head to a fricking bar. We are here to play a game.
>I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs.
Same. Maybe a beer or two, but definitely not enough to be intoxicated. Players have enough trouble staying on task weed's not going to help.
Idk what sort of fricked up game would be improved with heroin or coke.
Came to say this. Substance abuse is not a legitimate substitute for a personality. If you cannot function in a social setting without your fix, you need rehab.
I'm glad that both spice and tar make an appearance in OPs visual list.
I enjoy a game of Gamma World whilst under the influence of a deliriant (so much immersion), and if things get too exciting, my sober peers can hold me down and inject my neck with the tar, really leading to a mellow session finale.
can't this has happened so many times these are the only good lines in I've got.
I just find Gamma World & Spice such an exciting combo I can't help but have a mental breakdown & need tranquilizing.
Don't even get me started on Rogue Trader and Datura! Deliriant + RPGs, that's my bag!
>30 >no longer enjoy being drunk whatsoever
we used to get absolutely blasted and play completely unhinged sessions of 5E with no drama. I miss those days.
The last time someone drank a lot at the table, they showed up an hour late, completely plastered, and kept waving their mostly-empty bottle of rum around to show off how much they could drink. Dude could barely finish a sentence and kept talking over everyone. I was so fricking angry I cancelled the whole thing and never played with that group again. We're still friends, but the guy has a serious drinking problem.
I had the same thing happen to a guys weekend for 40k. We had some massive game set up and the dude was drunk by noon and trying to get munchies. I didnt plan on cooking until later on. We deployed and did one turn and called it.
Weed in D&D is fine. I piss a lot as a DM so I'll drink water and take a few hits from a joint to chill out a bit before and smoke after when players are leveling/talking about the session at the end.
Oh, that's just the classic story of "some people are drunk and having fun and some people are sober and progressively more angry due to that fact"
It's like the 101s of being a designated driver.
>Disassociated superego radiant being is the GM >Disconnected ego is p1 >Fat Dog Wife is p2 >Childhood trauma monster is p3 >Disembodied voice telling you to touch more grass is p4 >players 5-2&&%405! are all spiders >we're playing Everyone is John
Everything in our society will morph/is morphing into a cover story for various addictions. So, yea.
Personally I've seen a few groups die because of weed, started as a D&D group, ended as a Netflix viewing group, that sort of thing. And I love weed, but D&D is D&D, if it's not game night then don't call it game night.
My favorite part about this comic is if you change "Weed" to "Christianity" not only does it still work, but it also enforces an even more powerful message about the dangers of addiction and how it can destroy your life.
Lol. Thats not how it works at all. What really happens is the weed guy finds excuses not to leave his house ever and eventually his friends just stop inviting him anywhere.
>"hold up let me just smoke before we start" >"where's my grinder" >has to search for their shit >other stoner friend goes "yo can i see your vape" >they talk about weed for half an hour instead of playing the game >"bro i'm hungry let's eat"
Smoking weed really does turn you into a teenager. I mean, my first game was usually like that, we'd meet in the early afternoon and sit at the table like we were going to play, then we'd frick off hard and make several snack runs and get side-tracked talking about things adjacent to D&D, and usually end up squeezing in a 6-hour session between midnight and dawn. We weren't smoking or drinking or anything we were just teenagers being teenagers.
ime it's mostly been the group and the individuals
the people who come in mostly for the session are ultra engaged and some people just come for a party with a board game on the side so like we kinda know what to expect when we bring people on board
it's just that there is a high correlation between flakiness and getting side tracked and how much weed you smoke
some people if they say they'll be there at 6 they'll be there at 5:45.
other people say they'll be there at 8 then show up at 9, then head out to smoke then come back at 10
others just say "i might come" and it's sort of annoying to have them make a character, play for an hour, then just leave the session
Had a bunch of guys like this in my gaming group >hey we're just gonna go out to the car and smoke for a bit >disappear for an hour >come back and just sorta sit there >one of them burps >the rest burst out laughing uncontrollably for the next 20 minutes >this repeats for the rest of the night >including another trip to go smoke in the car
The worst part was that one of them was the GM and those ended up being some of the worst games I've ever played.
As a GM I can tell you that intoxicated players are insufferable. They take ages to determine their next action and they act like moronic children all around.
there is a sweet spot where drugs increase creativity and loosen you up to roleplay, but exceed it and you become a babbling, interrumpting, no attention span moron
It's not a "sweet spot" of consumption so much as a sweet spot on the downward spiral. Not so fresh that getting high is a passtime unto itself but fresh enough that it doesn't feel like a habbit yet, it's a "fun time" thing, accustomed enough to function but still fresh enough to feel joy.
A bit of alcohol is fine, but I wouldn't say it enhances a game, at least not if everyone's already relaxed, comfortable and familiar both with each other and roleplaying. Moderate drinking doesn't disrupt a game, either, so it's fine with me for people to do that if they're feeling like it. Getting properly drunk ruins games, though.
Anon I'm practicaly a lifelong stoner and even I would say that anything more than 2 beers can ruin a game night or just turn it into some drinking party.
For me, I always serve drinks and cooked meals to my guests, but the booze needs to be carefully portioned since nobody wants drunk players. I don't allow any other drugs in my game nights. I'm lenient towards pot, but only in moderation for them since they tend to zone out and are incapable of paying attention.
I find drinks let myself and players loosen up enough to really get into the game. For one campaign, a high fantasy sort of "gothic" setting, I'd serve mulled wine, some fancy pies or stews, and for a shadowrun game I mixed green apple 4lokos with green apple rockstars in clear glasses with an assortment of junkfood snacks and fancied up instant ramen. Helps players get in the mood of the setting, and allows me to feed my guests.
Love the terrible trend of underage kids on this site having strong opinons about drugs and alcohol. You can't even mention beer anymore without some out of touch trad larper telling you addiction is a sin. They've regressed to the point of thinking weed is addicting and super dangerous, like it's still the 90s or something.
No you haven't. This is evident in how the people in question do the thing where they talk about all drugs the same, putting weed in the same box as meth in the same box as heroine. No clue about the differences in how people act with them, just stupid nonsense that sounds like it's from a DARE pamphlet during the clinton administration.
>People have different experiences and opinions then me? >How is that possible?
Id ask if you were autistic, but considering we're on /tg/, I already know the answer to that
That's not what you said you dumb half brick. You didn't claim any nebulous "other experiences" you claimed a specific experience, which doesn't line up with what is being said by the people being talked about.
Now if your different experience means you have no had the pleasure of encountering the trad larping idiots in question, but you instead assumed the post was referring to you, then being upset that it then failed to describe you is easily explained by a victim complex.
>They've regressed to the point of thinking weed is addicting and super dangerous, like it's still the 90s or something.
It makes you docile and placated, which means yes it's bad you bugman homosexual.
how would Gen Z grow to disdain it if they were too young to be around millenials that are old enough to party and go to clubs or raves??
you think my brother thats 5yrs older than me let me go with him and his friends to whatever the frick they did?? no..
did i know what they did or how they acted there?? no..
its just cool to be a pronoun troony loving vegan straight edge nerd nowadays thats all.
Because they grew up seeing you become losers that try to justify their shitty addictions. Millennials are almost as shit as the preceding generation and I’m saying that as a millennial myself. Maybe the zoomers will fix this shitty planet after they grow out if their homosexualry.
>le wrong generation homosexual complaining about millenials
yeah sure in your hick town there's nothing to do but meth sure, but that's hardly the millenial experience. Millenials are by and large smarter with drugs and less full of addicts but more full of recreational users. Because that's what normalization and decriminalization get you.
In my party, most of the group drinks and we have two players who smoke weed. The two who smoke are incredibly grown individuals who know their limits and use it as a way to calm nerves or chill out in the way smokers use cigarettes, they're not showing up to the table going "woooooaaaaaah duuuuuuuude, let's get white castle heheheheh" and the players who do drink, have like one beer because once again, we're grown individuals who know you don't have to get thrashed every time booze touches your lips
Pretty much this. I only play with other adults, usually older than I am, and I'm 27. I drink nothing but beer every day, so there's always beer, and the place I live is 420 friendly. The most I have to do is request people smoke weed outside since I'm allergice, and because they're polite grown-ass adults, they even make it brief to get back into the game. We have agreed-upon smoke/piss/muncy&beer run breaks
OP isn't just nogames he's nodrugs as well. How the frick would I run a session while nodding?
How am I gonna calculate damage while melting into the couch off Spice?
All of us take drugs, but at the gaming table. Even alcohol is heavily limited and weed is for after.
That said, hosting what is essentially a drug party is a terrible idea. The myth of the “polite junkie” only lasts until you realize that one of your “players” filched a bunch of your shit while they were “in the bathroom”
Quite possible if done right.
Some of the best sessions I've run happened when everyone was high on amphetamine. We played for 15-16 hours without breaking the character, only with short bathroom breaks.
I've played an extremely memorable and truly wondrous Changeling: the Dreaming session while everyone except the ST was on acid, and the ST simultaneously acted as our trip sitter - but we've done acid together dozens of times.
We even tried to play when we were doing DXM, but it was extremely weird.
A little weed absolutely could enhance the roleplaying, but you need to be accustomed to it.
Considering alcohol - most of the people in both of my gaming groups drink beer or wine during the play, including me - and it's nothing special.
But my country is well known for rampant drinking since medieval times.
Unfortunately we had to been drinking at the table after one guy started a fist fight over something that happened in character (I think one players paladin stopped him from stabbing a random npc for literally no reason). He got booted after that but we still been alcohol in general to be in the safe side. It only came up once at that where a new player threw a fit that he couldn't "have a few beers to loosen up" after walking in with a 12 pack.
Nobody at the table smokes so that's not anything we had to deal with either way.
We'll maybe have a glass of wine each as the evening starts to wind down, but not before 12:30am at the earliest. The DM tends to pop some amphetamines shortly before the session, but that's another matter entirely.
Weed is just a waste of time and money, but that's okay if that's how you want to blow your time and money.
Booze is just moron juice and craft beer people are more annoying than pot heads and I didn't think that was possible.
Eh, if everyone is drunk/high then simple board games can be fun.
Actual PnP RPGs are pretty damn difficult.
If you are that one idiot stoner/drunk frick off. You take five fricking minutes to role one simple fricking attack because can't keep it together enough to remember your bonus or even write them down.
My DM once ate some weird capsules that contained LSA (maybe) and all that happened was him zoning out and occasionally complaining about his stomache hurting.
Weed is not a socail drug for me. It amplifies my autism like 10 fold and I can't watch a movie or something without getting fixated on one small thing and thinking intensly about it while completely losing track of the movie as a whole. It's fun to let my mind spiral around but I don't enjoy weed with company and I have no idea how people smoke weed and drive or go out in public as I get hyper paranoid that people know I'm high. Even though I know nobody gives a shit if I am.
Kinda prefer everyone in my group be sober. I've seen players come in almost half-drunk already, or having lit up not long before, and they're just not on their fricking game.
I love taking adderall before the game and drinking and smoking throughout. Admittedly I might get a bit less tactically sharp if I overdo the last two, but it's worth it to feel free to do dumb shit.
it varies from person to person:
me: get drunk or high and just fall asleep
my GM: gets buzzed and is able to do all sorts of amazing voices without getting embarassed
my best friend: starts ranting either about christianity or his ptsd from war, usually ends in more than one person crying
my other best friend: won't shut the frick up
Worst case scenario. Some of us have played with others who go way too far with their liquor and become blackout drunk and ruin the session. Not everyone has had your experiences and you're finding out that more people than you think have had bad experiences with intoxicated gaming.

Honestly this just shows me you neither drink, nor go to bars, nor have conversations while drinking.
Or alternately you somehow think this middleground still involves getting drunk. If you can't drive home safely and legally afterwards, then that's not the middle-ground and you drank too much.
I don't understand how autistic you have to be to be incapable of understanding that you're still annoying even if you aren't black out drunk. Or you're about 20 and haven't had a lot of experience dealing with alcohol yet.
The only middle ground that exists is 1 glass an hour and at that point you might as well not even be drinking. We are here to play a game. Anything that detracts or inhibits you shouldn't be brought.
Like any of the substances spoken of here, nah, but using it is fine so long as it isn't too much.
with too much of course varying between substance and group.
Honestly I'd doubt anyone would take offence at people drinking coffee during their games.
jesus christ this thread is painting dnd as way more complex or demanding than it really is. all you need to be aware of in dnd is your abilities and the abilities of your enemies. if a few drinks is enough to make you unaware of those things and turn you into a shit player then you need to figure your shit out. ive only drank during a session a few times but during those sessions my character was as effective as ever
This is peak fricking cringe and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
I've never actually met someone who advocates for this shit and isn't a delusional addict.
On the other hand there are plenty of addicts who will readily admit that it's all a farce of excuses and bullshit, that it's done more damage to their lives than they'd like to admit and that any perceived mental benefit is provably false.
So frick off and keep killing yourself.
It's weird trying to imagine what you think you're talking about. Yeah OP is bait but that's not a pic of "do all of these drugs" that's a propaganda pic of "these are all bad things" equating them all on an equal level as the banner for a clickbait news article.
But you're talking as if there's not only a breed of person that does all of these, but you've met them, and they're not just an addict for one thing, but also all the things in the picture are the same somehow and there's no difference between abstinence and complete addiction.
go away towelie you're high
Turns it into shit you mean. I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs. Neither do I get why you need to show your addiction off to everybody.
What are you? 12?
You sound more like a child. Only children think that they need to do drugs to be grown up.
What’s stopping you from saying that without being intoxicated.
It has nothing to do with being too serious but everything with being a degenerate moron. Also unlike you I’m actually running games.
My friends are better they are fun without needing drugs.
>My friends are better they are fun without needing drugs.
Your friends sound like frickin nerds bro
Only 12 year olds think drugs are fun
Have fun literally moroning yourself
damn its obvious youve never been to a club/ rave/ or music festival/ or even house party have you?
should you be getting fricked up zonked out of your mind everyday or night? no.
is it fine to let loose and have fun and socialize or relax, or party with other humans in a fun and relatively safe manner once in a while? sure, drugs and alchohol when taken in a responsible manner do have the ability to make most ppls social evenings or activities enhanced, whether its sitting around rolling dice and making stories, partying with friends or strangers or ppl of the opposite sex at a club or rave or festival, having intercourse with a special or not so special someone, or watching movies or even reading a book or drawing and sketching at home with relaxing or weird music in the background
is it for everyone? no,but that doesnt mean lots of ppl in society dont like it either.
you dont ALWAYS have to be "mr.mature" all the time some of the most intelligent or responsible ppl in history also partook in festivities and parties with the fellow ppl, you dont think Socrates didnt say "frick it! carpe diem!" and partook in grecian/roman orgies and parties?
get real.
life is all about balance and moderation
If you drink or do drugs you’ve already broken the balance in life. Don’t act like being a moron is something to be proud of. I have seen enough people at parties make a fool of themselves by puking in front of other people or losing the ability to even stand up straight.
I assume you've also seen significantly more people who drink in moderation, don't puke and don't lose the ability to stand up straight. If not, you should rethink the company you keep.
Only takes one player to get too intoxicated to run game night.
What does that have to do with anything in my post?
Everything.
No it doesn't. If one person becomes too intoxicated then everyone's clearly not drinking in moderation. If the idea of everyone drinking in moderation seems completely alien and implausible to you, then you should really, really rethink the company you keep.
I've only one friend with ADHD, but he definitely acts more normal on meds than without them. Like, before he got his medication he couldn't watch a movie from start to end without constantly pausing it to make questions or comments that came to his mind, which sometimes were completely unrelated to the movie. After he started taking his meds he can actually focus on things.
k pothead
>having intercourse with a special or not so special someone
No way this guy ever fricked lol
Im surprised these are the replies i get, ppl thinking im mr.virgin
>Oi vey goym
Actually the opposite if i smoke too much or a high THC then i panic and freak out, honestly ill just smoke a puff or 2 before bed of low thc weed to help sleep, or very rarely on a weekend ill smoke higher thc weed and either do some soul searching or listen to relaxing meditating music and draw or space out and play a game or watch a movie
Before the pandemic i hadnt smoked weed in like 10 yrs then it became legal across the country and was fairly easy to get, as long as i dont over do it then it helps or makes things more enjoyable or relaxed if i accidentally overdue it then its a nightmare that scares me straight and makes me take long breaks from it. In some ways its better than most alcohol or drugs because it periodically keeps me from getting too dependent on it or overusing it by giving me these scary experiences to make me not want to do it all the time
Alchohol doesnt really do that unless you get to the point of going to the ER to pump your stomach which to me is mega rare. Alchohol will keep giving you good feeling everytime unless you drink wayyy too much, so it never really forces you to take breaks if youre a person that gets dependent on it.
Stop Sir!
Mr Mature!
You're a turbo virgin who just discovered weed
Having been to nightclubs(goth) while high, it's worse. If you like drugs sure, but trust me that's the experience you're wanting, not the club. The actual club experience is much better while sober. If not, the club you're at is shit. Socialization is actually feasible as people maintain coherency. Druggies aren't there for the socialization, they are there as an excuse to get high. I like weed, but I don't make excuses to smoke it by pretending it somehow makes socialization better while it inhibits my ability to function, I just do it cause it makes me feel good.
Same goes for house parties I've been to. Ones wherein we were all coherent or mostly so always ended up being a blast, ones with everyone high, and/or drunk usually just ended up with people vomiting, hooking up and regretting it, or some other mishap.
Drugs always have and always will make your ability to socialize worse once you actually cross that line into being drunk/high. You're just so braindead at that point you don't understand it until someone shows you a video of you trying to talk to some girl while barely being able to stand up. I will say it's sometimes a good comedy show for the designated driver though.
sounds like you're just a moronic introvert
Ah yes, because going to clubs and house parties to socialize is characteristic of an introvert
NTA but you're just moronic.
Being a teetotaler sure is.
You seem to try to be using your drugs as I crutch to make fun happen which is not how drugs work You sound like an addict. No one else is talking about things like that except you: The straight edge loser You can't handle his shit sober
That anon was talking about drugs being fun in their own right, and that using them as a crutch for socialization is stupid. Are you fricking illiterate?
>Only 12 year olds think drugs are fun
Drugs are based, but only if they help improve cognition (see: tobacco) or put you on a trip. Weed is for low IQ morons of course.
A little bit of alcohol can help, to be fair, just to get you lowering your inhibitions enough to say the slightly off the walls ideas you wouldn't have said otherwise. Any other recreational drug is probably gonna make you dumber to play with, I agree, as will getting outright tipsy or drunk.
To play devil's advocate:
If everyone is tipsy or drunk on similar level, the game is still very much fun and in the brainstorm kind of way.
Sure, but doesn't sound like the game would matter much then. It's just fun being drunk with friends.
>t. never played drunk with drunk people
You are genuinely missing out. Some of the better games I had were when everyone was barely conscious due to combination of fatigue, alcohol and the hour. Including pic related
Yes.
Low amounts of booze is fine. If anyone pulls ahead of the pack and gets too drunk or too high, it becomes impossible to play because now one of the players is a mental invalid who still thinks he's as sharp and attentive as before, and totally insists that he has a tolerance (literally doesn't exist. The side effects are still there, but habitual use makes you numb to them, while still hindering you just as much) while he's spacing out and occasionally interrupting the game because someone said a funny word and he can't contain his shit anymore.
this is extremely specific, do you have a that guy?
I find it comes down to the individual players. I’ve played with some that can handle it and some that can’t.
NTA, but I played with that guy. We also had a dude that later got a liver transplant because he drank so mich. They were actually terrible players, fricked up or sober and terrible people too. It’s the only game I’ve ever scuttled mid campaign.
I've been that guy and at least 3 other guys in my group are that guy.
Dosage control will be key. Too much and they'll be useless for anything that requires even the smallest iota of problem solving.
>xkcdipshit
Antialchotards are moronic
You're the walking stereotype everyone talks about, aren't you? I guess you really were drunk the entire time.
What inhibitions are you having in your game night that need to be lowered? Is your RPG about playing futa dommy mommies raping shotas or something?
Just basic stuff. Everybody has inhibitions about saying things they worry might be dumb. A little bit of alcohol will cure you of such cares.
Dunno, anon, had a GM that required two bottles of beer to actually stop being self-conscious and start roleplaying various characters and provide descriptions, rather than being dry and to-the-point.
But I guess in the perfect no-games world, anything that is fun is haram, for only serious business and work count
I have. Get better friends
They won't be your friends forever. Your addictions will break down your bonds.
Since when have christians invaded /tg/ like this? The hell is up with these puritanical values
Or is it just one person doing their don't do drugs bit?
Then simply don't fricking drink/serve till blackout drunk. Seriously, and talk to the player, like someone with actual communication skills.
We did talk to the player and we all agreed to not drink at games. Fricking deal with it you drunk.
Still pretending like there is absolutely no middle ground between blackout drunk and complete abstinence.
Go back to getting fricked by your preacher altar boy.
Not involved with this conversation but you’re an illiterate moron anon
>addiction
Underage poster spotted.
That image depicts heroin though, if you have to shoot up to play you gotta be an addict man
>I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs.
You've never seen a player with ADHD take his meds?
Everyone performs better on meth
>Playing with unstable morons
Alcohol is not "meds." It
Frick. It [alcohol] intoxicates you away from being normal and functional. ADHD meds treats you towards being normal and functional.
You do realise, that ADHD meds are ''speed" right? as in the drug. (or more commonly a variation on it, though speed itself is also sometimes prescribed)
>ADHD meds treats you towards being normal and functional
ADHD people on meds do not act like normal or functional human beings they act like meth addicts
have you ever met someone with adhd? Being on ADHD mess makes you feel empty as frick if you actually have it. It let's you finally focus yes, but it's like all life is sucked out of you. It's not fun nor pleasurable.
Anon you might feel more normal on the pills but I guarantee you you aren't acting normal.
Please realise the difference between prescription medication, and being addicted to that medication.
Also, why even is this a point? Do you think people with ADHD just pretend to have a disorder so they can get drugs?
I know the difference. Even people taking it normally act like fricking drug addicts.
Feel free to keep pretending like you act like a normal person while you're high on meth but you don't and everyone can tell.
What re you basing this claim on? As I said in
I only have one friend with ADHD and medication for it, but he certainly acts more like a normal person on medication than without it. Specifically he's calmer and more focused with his medication and kind of annoyingly hyper without it. Do you happen to have a whole lot of friends with ADHD or something?
wouldn't call them friends but I do know an unfortunate amount of them. They're worthless and unreliable and the drugs don't change that. They just make them more annoying with a new chemical addiction.
Yeah, and you know for a fact that these people actually have ADHD and aren't just faking it to get meds - something people sometimes try? What you're describing doesn't sound at all like the typical effects of stimulants on people with diagnosed ADHD. Calmer and more focused is how people with ADHD usually are on their meds.
It's fake lol
You don't have it either You're just unwilling to actually try.
While putting more weight on the opinion of an anonymous stranger than on either personal experience or scientific literature sounds completely reasonable and not at all insane, I think I'll refrain from doing that for now.
The guy who posted right after you literally claimed he could solve brains and had solved the human mind with a brain scan lol.
It's fake. You are in a cult.
Guess the entire medical profession is a cult now?
Not sure why you think your comment even remotely describes the research done on ADHD and ADD and similar.
anon you're talking about psychiatric drugs and the pharmaceutical industry. Yes it's a cult.
If you could just magically brain scan people for homosexual brain like you have there would be no need for a diagnosis.
Have fun with your lack of medical knowledge an unending defense of big pharma.
Do you have anything, anything at all, to back your point of view up? Like, you seem to think that brain imaging techniques are magic, thoroughly studied drugs a hoax and experiences of people who've benefited from said drugs or known others who have benefited from them fake. That's a pretty radical claim that's going to require something more than " just trust me, bro" to support it.
He's trolling anon, you got baited.
I know this because anyone moronic enough to actually believe what he's saying would have stuck a fork in a light socket at the age of eight.
...Sad, but you're most probably right. Though with the pandemic, some of the medical conspiracy nutcases also started showing themselves instead of hiding in their strange little corners of the web.
anon I'm not the one who claimed he could identify psychological conditions with a brain scan
That's literally insane delusional magical thinking.
Maybe I am, though there are plenty of nutcases believing in all kinds of weird shit out there.
Meant for
, of course. Since I replied to the wrong guy: ADHD is a developmental neuropsychiatric condition with a neurological basis, and there's nothing magical about brain imaging studies revealing at least group level differences between people with and without ADHD.
and now you back pedal away from your initial statements because you made strong ones that you know are false
Where did they ever make claims other than this?
What? Are you high right now, anon? No one ITT has claimed being able to solve either brains or minds. Brain imaging techniques do, however, tell quite a bit about the brain. This shouldn't be a controversial point.
Brain scans can note differences in brain structure between those with adhd and those who do not. Hence why stimulants have a different effect on those with adhd vs those without.
He literally made this claim up out of nowhere It doesn't exist
That's not how science works lol
Now he's trying to backpedal away from what he originally said
I said this semi-jokingly earlier, but you actually are either high or drunk right now, aren't you? You'll feel pretty embarrassed if you return to read your posts later when you're sober, so you should probably stop posting and go sleep off whatever it is you're on.
Anon you made a moronic post
Then you back pedaled
Just be less moronic in the future
You're even doubling down now
I mean,
is pretty much saying the same thing as
The latter just notes how those differences are noted.
Like only a braindead reading makes them significantly different.
Anyhow, I need to get my mouth checked, this wormy hook in my mouth can't be good for me. Serves me right for responding to bait I guess.
>I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs
Let's just say I'm the Dr. Johnny Fever of gaming.
>I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs.
Me neither. I've seen plenty of people who claim that it makes them better, though. If they are somehow right, I truly dread to see what they'd be like sober. Of course, I'll never know.
Well, naturally.
When you get drunk/smoke/self-stupify, everything seems better.
Every idea is a great idea. Everything you do is rad as frick. Because you're stupid, and easily impressed. That's why people like it.
And this is a problem why?
Ignoring the possibility of you doing something that harms you later on, it is annoying as hell for everyone else to deal with if we are trying to play a game
If you want to get drunk, head to a fricking bar. We are here to play a game.
>I have never seen somebody become a better player from alcohol or drugs.
Same. Maybe a beer or two, but definitely not enough to be intoxicated. Players have enough trouble staying on task weed's not going to help.
Idk what sort of fricked up game would be improved with heroin or coke.
Weed makes me a better player, but a far worse game-master.
>it'll help lower my inhibitions!
>1 hour in and now they have zero critical thinking skills, causing problems for everyone else
Came to say this. Substance abuse is not a legitimate substitute for a personality. If you cannot function in a social setting without your fix, you need rehab.
>If you cannot function in a social setting without your fix, you need to stay at home.
*fixed
Denying the existence of your problem and regressing into anti-social behavior is not a healthy solution anon.
I'm glad that both spice and tar make an appearance in OPs visual list.
I enjoy a game of Gamma World whilst under the influence of a deliriant (so much immersion), and if things get too exciting, my sober peers can hold me down and inject my neck with the tar, really leading to a mellow session finale.
>inject my neck with the tar
Don't do that, injecting into neck is really dangerous. Tell them to use your arms.
can't this has happened so many times these are the only good lines in I've got.
I just find Gamma World & Spice such an exciting combo I can't help but have a mental breakdown & need tranquilizing.
Don't even get me started on Rogue Trader and Datura! Deliriant + RPGs, that's my bag!
Board Game night, maybe.
>no mushrooms
>has heroine
What kind of dragons are we chasing here?
I used to be heavily into cocaine, heroin, ketamine and lsd and others. I ended up being pretty heavily addicted.
I replaced that addiction with tabletop games, now i keep buying gurps supplements and board games.
Drugs are for homosexual losers, by the way
>and board games
Which ones we gotta judge your taste
The most dangerous game.
holy shit, i had that game growing up

>no longer enjoy being drunk whatsoever
we used to get absolutely blasted and play completely unhinged sessions of 5E with no drama. I miss those days.
The last time someone drank a lot at the table, they showed up an hour late, completely plastered, and kept waving their mostly-empty bottle of rum around to show off how much they could drink. Dude could barely finish a sentence and kept talking over everyone. I was so fricking angry I cancelled the whole thing and never played with that group again. We're still friends, but the guy has a serious drinking problem.
I had the same thing happen to a guys weekend for 40k. We had some massive game set up and the dude was drunk by noon and trying to get munchies. I didnt plan on cooking until later on. We deployed and did one turn and called it.
Weed in D&D is fine. I piss a lot as a DM so I'll drink water and take a few hits from a joint to chill out a bit before and smoke after when players are leveling/talking about the session at the end.
Oh, that's just the classic story of "some people are drunk and having fun and some people are sober and progressively more angry due to that fact"
It's like the 101s of being a designated driver.

In polite company, no. with friends, yes as long as they don't go overboard.
Everything in our society will morph/is morphing into a cover story for various addictions. So, yea.
Personally I've seen a few groups die because of weed, started as a D&D group, ended as a Netflix viewing group, that sort of thing. And I love weed, but D&D is D&D, if it's not game night then don't call it game night.
back to your containment board, Gankerermin
My favorite part about this comic is if you change "Weed" to "Christianity" not only does it still work, but it also enforces an even more powerful message about the dangers of addiction and how it can destroy your life.

I legit giggled at work thinking of some fedora typing this out and smiling to himself while hitting post.
Lol. Thats not how it works at all. What really happens is the weed guy finds excuses not to leave his house ever and eventually his friends just stop inviting him anywhere.
more like
>"hold up let me just smoke before we start"
>"where's my grinder"
>has to search for their shit
>other stoner friend goes "yo can i see your vape"
>they talk about weed for half an hour instead of playing the game
>"bro i'm hungry let's eat"
Smoking weed really does turn you into a teenager. I mean, my first game was usually like that, we'd meet in the early afternoon and sit at the table like we were going to play, then we'd frick off hard and make several snack runs and get side-tracked talking about things adjacent to D&D, and usually end up squeezing in a 6-hour session between midnight and dawn. We weren't smoking or drinking or anything we were just teenagers being teenagers.
ime it's mostly been the group and the individuals
the people who come in mostly for the session are ultra engaged and some people just come for a party with a board game on the side so like we kinda know what to expect when we bring people on board
it's just that there is a high correlation between flakiness and getting side tracked and how much weed you smoke
some people if they say they'll be there at 6 they'll be there at 5:45.
other people say they'll be there at 8 then show up at 9, then head out to smoke then come back at 10
others just say "i might come" and it's sort of annoying to have them make a character, play for an hour, then just leave the session
Had a bunch of guys like this in my gaming group
>hey we're just gonna go out to the car and smoke for a bit
>disappear for an hour
>come back and just sorta sit there
>one of them burps
>the rest burst out laughing uncontrollably for the next 20 minutes
>this repeats for the rest of the night
>including another trip to go smoke in the car
The worst part was that one of them was the GM and those ended up being some of the worst games I've ever played.
they were the worst because you were the square that didnt go to the car and smoke with them you NERDDD!!!
Nah, it would turn my game night into shit.
Might improve yours, but it sure as hell ruins mine.
A cocaine fueled night of tabletop is actually pretty wild if you're all into it
How? Seems like it would be a disaster.
I don't think you understand the passion involved.
You never played a game before, have you?
A lot of my players smoke in-game. They're not 100% engaged but when they are they're also some of my better players so there's that.
Mind you these guys are functionally high 24/7 so it's a very different deal for them to show up high than someone who only smokes occasionally.
players can smoke weed or drink a few beers (not too much, they become annoying) the dm needs to be sober.
No you give the DM Amphetamine Salts
As a GM I can tell you that intoxicated players are insufferable. They take ages to determine their next action and they act like moronic children all around.
there is a sweet spot where drugs increase creativity and loosen you up to roleplay, but exceed it and you become a babbling, interrumpting, no attention span moron
It's not a "sweet spot" of consumption so much as a sweet spot on the downward spiral. Not so fresh that getting high is a passtime unto itself but fresh enough that it doesn't feel like a habbit yet, it's a "fun time" thing, accustomed enough to function but still fresh enough to feel joy.
A bit of alcohol is fine, but I wouldn't say it enhances a game, at least not if everyone's already relaxed, comfortable and familiar both with each other and roleplaying. Moderate drinking doesn't disrupt a game, either, so it's fine with me for people to do that if they're feeling like it. Getting properly drunk ruins games, though.
Anon I'm practicaly a lifelong stoner and even I would say that anything more than 2 beers can ruin a game night or just turn it into some drinking party.
For me, I always serve drinks and cooked meals to my guests, but the booze needs to be carefully portioned since nobody wants drunk players. I don't allow any other drugs in my game nights. I'm lenient towards pot, but only in moderation for them since they tend to zone out and are incapable of paying attention.
I find drinks let myself and players loosen up enough to really get into the game. For one campaign, a high fantasy sort of "gothic" setting, I'd serve mulled wine, some fancy pies or stews, and for a shadowrun game I mixed green apple 4lokos with green apple rockstars in clear glasses with an assortment of junkfood snacks and fancied up instant ramen. Helps players get in the mood of the setting, and allows me to feed my guests.
Love the terrible trend of underage kids on this site having strong opinons about drugs and alcohol. You can't even mention beer anymore without some out of touch trad larper telling you addiction is a sin. They've regressed to the point of thinking weed is addicting and super dangerous, like it's still the 90s or something.
>EVERYONE KNOWS THAT POG IS A GAME!
>EVERYONE KNOWS THAT IT'LL DRIVE YOU INSANE!
>EACH SOLD SEPARATELY!
>POG! POG!
Or maybe we’ve witnessed how shitty people become after drinking or using drugs.
No you haven't. This is evident in how the people in question do the thing where they talk about all drugs the same, putting weed in the same box as meth in the same box as heroine. No clue about the differences in how people act with them, just stupid nonsense that sounds like it's from a DARE pamphlet during the clinton administration.
>People have different experiences and opinions then me?
>How is that possible?
Id ask if you were autistic, but considering we're on /tg/, I already know the answer to that
That's not what you said you dumb half brick. You didn't claim any nebulous "other experiences" you claimed a specific experience, which doesn't line up with what is being said by the people being talked about.
Now if your different experience means you have no had the pleasure of encountering the trad larping idiots in question, but you instead assumed the post was referring to you, then being upset that it then failed to describe you is easily explained by a victim complex.
Well thanks for confirming your autism, but it was mostly a rhetorical question.
>y-you're just autistic
>I won't elaborate
uh huh, sure buddy. I caught you in the act of being moronic and that's all you can do. Just bail.
>They've regressed to the point of thinking weed is addicting and super dangerous, like it's still the 90s or something.
It makes you docile and placated, which means yes it's bad you bugman homosexual.

You're just a sucker for a conspiracy and will believe anything.
>millennials waste their 20s on drugs and are insufferable to be around
>wonders why Gen Z grows to disdain it
>things that never happened because you don't talk to people you just assume that's what it's like because of memes online
Because they grew up seeing you become losers that try to justify their shitty addictions. Millennials are almost as shit as the preceding generation and I’m saying that as a millennial myself. Maybe the zoomers will fix this shitty planet after they grow out if their homosexualry.
they wont, it will be generations till things get remotely better for the worlds societies
we are un-ironically living in a future distopia..
if ppl from 1950s could see society today they would think its a book from Ray Bradbury..
>le wrong generation homosexual complaining about millenials
yeah sure in your hick town there's nothing to do but meth sure, but that's hardly the millenial experience. Millenials are by and large smarter with drugs and less full of addicts but more full of recreational users. Because that's what normalization and decriminalization get you.
how would Gen Z grow to disdain it if they were too young to be around millenials that are old enough to party and go to clubs or raves??
you think my brother thats 5yrs older than me let me go with him and his friends to whatever the frick they did?? no..
did i know what they did or how they acted there?? no..
its just cool to be a pronoun troony loving vegan straight edge nerd nowadays thats all.
Everyone online is perpetually butthurt and shouldn't be listened to except as entertainment
There are people who game their lifestyle and personality around weed. It's worse than addicting.
The only thing that makes game night better is choccy milk and kicking out all the women
>chocolate milk
>in the evening
for anyone over the age of 14 that just means they're going to bed early so the game won't last long.
In my party, most of the group drinks and we have two players who smoke weed. The two who smoke are incredibly grown individuals who know their limits and use it as a way to calm nerves or chill out in the way smokers use cigarettes, they're not showing up to the table going "woooooaaaaaah duuuuuuuude, let's get white castle heheheheh" and the players who do drink, have like one beer because once again, we're grown individuals who know you don't have to get thrashed every time booze touches your lips
Pretty much this. I only play with other adults, usually older than I am, and I'm 27. I drink nothing but beer every day, so there's always beer, and the place I live is 420 friendly. The most I have to do is request people smoke weed outside since I'm allergice, and because they're polite grown-ass adults, they even make it brief to get back into the game. We have agreed-upon smoke/piss/muncy&beer run breaks

Lame ass game
Is that a fricking condom? Get that disgusting shit away.
Do you want children? If not, wear protection.
What kind of moron wouldn’t want children?
relax abe. youre dead, you have no power over here anymore.
OP isn't just nogames he's nodrugs as well. How the frick would I run a session while nodding?
How am I gonna calculate damage while melting into the couch off Spice?
All of us take drugs, but at the gaming table. Even alcohol is heavily limited and weed is for after.
There is such a weird growing trend of kids on this site who don't know anything about drugs and talk about it like DARE is still around.
They don't have to know about drugs. They only have to remember the selfish buttholes who did drugs around them.
I know OP has never actually played a game.
That said, hosting what is essentially a drug party is a terrible idea. The myth of the “polite junkie” only lasts until you realize that one of your “players” filched a bunch of your shit while they were “in the bathroom”
>keeps dope out in the open
You can blame only yourself.
I've never had player under the influence or otherwise steal from me.
Quite possible if done right.
Some of the best sessions I've run happened when everyone was high on amphetamine. We played for 15-16 hours without breaking the character, only with short bathroom breaks.
I've played an extremely memorable and truly wondrous Changeling: the Dreaming session while everyone except the ST was on acid, and the ST simultaneously acted as our trip sitter - but we've done acid together dozens of times.
We even tried to play when we were doing DXM, but it was extremely weird.
A little weed absolutely could enhance the roleplaying, but you need to be accustomed to it.
Considering alcohol - most of the people in both of my gaming groups drink beer or wine during the play, including me - and it's nothing special.
But my country is well known for rampant drinking since medieval times.
Unfortunately we had to been drinking at the table after one guy started a fist fight over something that happened in character (I think one players paladin stopped him from stabbing a random npc for literally no reason). He got booted after that but we still been alcohol in general to be in the safe side. It only came up once at that where a new player threw a fit that he couldn't "have a few beers to loosen up" after walking in with a 12 pack.
Nobody at the table smokes so that's not anything we had to deal with either way.

We'll maybe have a glass of wine each as the evening starts to wind down, but not before 12:30am at the earliest.
The DM tends to pop some amphetamines shortly before the session, but that's another matter entirely.
Weed is just a waste of time and money, but that's okay if that's how you want to blow your time and money.
Booze is just moron juice and craft beer people are more annoying than pot heads and I didn't think that was possible.

Yes, when you stay in home completely wasted instead of trying to play it improves everyone's game nights.
Eh, if everyone is drunk/high then simple board games can be fun.
Actual PnP RPGs are pretty damn difficult.
If you are that one idiot stoner/drunk frick off. You take five fricking minutes to role one simple fricking attack because can't keep it together enough to remember your bonus or even write them down.

My DM once ate some weird capsules that contained LSA (maybe) and all that happened was him zoning out and occasionally complaining about his stomache hurting.
Weed is not a socail drug for me. It amplifies my autism like 10 fold and I can't watch a movie or something without getting fixated on one small thing and thinking intensly about it while completely losing track of the movie as a whole. It's fun to let my mind spiral around but I don't enjoy weed with company and I have no idea how people smoke weed and drive or go out in public as I get hyper paranoid that people know I'm high. Even though I know nobody gives a shit if I am.
Kinda prefer everyone in my group be sober. I've seen players come in almost half-drunk already, or having lit up not long before, and they're just not on their fricking game.
DUDE WEED
I love taking adderall before the game and drinking and smoking throughout. Admittedly I might get a bit less tactically sharp if I overdo the last two, but it's worth it to feel free to do dumb shit.
it varies from person to person:
me: get drunk or high and just fall asleep
my GM: gets buzzed and is able to do all sorts of amazing voices without getting embarassed
my best friend: starts ranting either about christianity or his ptsd from war, usually ends in more than one person crying
my other best friend: won't shut the frick up

>heroine
>for a game night
Wtf dudes... you need to rethink your life
Why are people ITT pretending like you can only go blackout drunk, or abstain fully?
What kind of shitty ass drinking habits do you have?
Worst case scenario. Some of us have played with others who go way too far with their liquor and become blackout drunk and ruin the session. Not everyone has had your experiences and you're finding out that more people than you think have had bad experiences with intoxicated gaming.
Because the middle ground is still annoying. Just because you think you're only tipsy doesn't mean you haven't become a nuisance for everyone else.
Honestly this just shows me you neither drink, nor go to bars, nor have conversations while drinking.
Or alternately you somehow think this middleground still involves getting drunk. If you can't drive home safely and legally afterwards, then that's not the middle-ground and you drank too much.
I don't understand how autistic you have to be to be incapable of understanding that you're still annoying even if you aren't black out drunk. Or you're about 20 and haven't had a lot of experience dealing with alcohol yet.
Well, of course it's annoying to you.
You're a tee-totalling preacher. I could be drinking 0% beers and still you'd take offence.
The only middle ground that exists is 1 glass an hour and at that point you might as well not even be drinking. We are here to play a game. Anything that detracts or inhibits you shouldn't be brought.
Ah yes, because obviously the only reason to drink is to get drunk.
Piss off.

Semi-related to the thread so i'll ask it here:
Is coffee good for you?
Like any of the substances spoken of here, nah, but using it is fine so long as it isn't too much.
with too much of course varying between substance and group.
Honestly I'd doubt anyone would take offence at people drinking coffee during their games.
jesus christ this thread is painting dnd as way more complex or demanding than it really is. all you need to be aware of in dnd is your abilities and the abilities of your enemies. if a few drinks is enough to make you unaware of those things and turn you into a shit player then you need to figure your shit out. ive only drank during a session a few times but during those sessions my character was as effective as ever
Mostly because there is some puritanical troll that seems to want us to get us off of our sinning substance using path.
This is peak fricking cringe and I'm tired of pretending otherwise.
I've never actually met someone who advocates for this shit and isn't a delusional addict.
On the other hand there are plenty of addicts who will readily admit that it's all a farce of excuses and bullshit, that it's done more damage to their lives than they'd like to admit and that any perceived mental benefit is provably false.
So frick off and keep killing yourself.
It's weird trying to imagine what you think you're talking about. Yeah OP is bait but that's not a pic of "do all of these drugs" that's a propaganda pic of "these are all bad things" equating them all on an equal level as the banner for a clickbait news article.
But you're talking as if there's not only a breed of person that does all of these, but you've met them, and they're not just an addict for one thing, but also all the things in the picture are the same somehow and there's no difference between abstinence and complete addiction.
what you're talking about is just autism
That's how autistic people act
That's how autistic people process the world
That's why they're so worthless
