My new resolution regarding "Am I The Only One?" threads.

[LazarX]

From now on, I'm going to simply say yes. Because you must be uniquely narcissistic to believe that you hold an opinion not shared by anyone else when it comes to a hobby as widespread and as mainstream as this one.

If you want a better answer, I will also make a counter resolution to try to post an answer as mature as the original question is asked.

But in short...

You're not the only one who hates the thing you hate.

You're not the only one who loves the thing you love.

You're not the only one who has raged at your DM. You may be however, one of the few who's ever put their appreciation of a good DM where their mouth is.

You're not the only one who has walked away from a table or at least thought about doing so.

You're not the only one who hates summoners, gunslingers, psionics, or Rob Liefield drawings. Nor are you the only one who gets a splitting headache from Slim Whitman.

You're not the only one who's tried stuffing an axebeak through a sewer pipe because you refused to be without your mount.

Posters are encouraged to expand this list in order that this thread may be one stop shopping for future would be Am I The Only One? posters.

[Chemlak]

You're not the only one who makes their players track encumbrance and ammo.

You're not the only one who uses XP.

You're not the only one who likes high/low/mid-level games.

You're not the only one who doesn't min/max.

You're not the only one who chooses class/race combos based on concept rather than build.

You're not the only one who uses house rules.

You're not the only one who bans custom items.

You're not the only one who thinks DPR isn't the only goal to chase.

You're not the only one who likes story more than combat.

You're not the only one who likes combat more than story.

What was that about putting your DM where your mouth is?

There's something about that in one of the holy books of Calistria.

[Thomas Long 175]

You're not the only one that hates alignment.

You're not the only one that dislikes gnomes.

You're not the only one with a player that will only play x.

You're not the only one that likes foot rubs.

You're not the only one still reading this.

You're not the only one facepalming.

[MacFetus]

If I read a thread that's utterly pointless and unwarranted, I try to work the word 'bubblebath' into my reply.

[Kryzbyn]

You're not the only one that likes bubblebath.

[MagusJanus]

You are not the only one who hates the ogre write-up.

You are not the only one who sometimes sighs at the artwork.

You are not the only one who is giddy for [insert class here].

You are not the only one who things [insert class here] sucks.

You are not the only one suspecting this thread is doomed to be locked.

You ARE the only one who dips McDonald's burgers in pickle juice! You know who you are!

Pickle juice is gross. But I dipped my burgers in the caramel sauce that came with the apple slices, back when they still had it. Am I the only one?

Yes. and that's all I'm saying as I'm not motivated enough to click your links.

You're not the only One - there's also Neo and Jet Li.

[Lincoln Hills]

You're not the only one who has suffered under a GM who thinks he has to 'win'.

You're not the only one who misses that one thing about 3.5... or 3.0... or AD&D. (Unless, of course, we are talking about the grappling rules. Missing any iteration of those probably is unique.)

You're not the only one who expects a compelling adventure, a challenging foe, and a decent reward every week.

You're not the only one who has trouble providing those three things to his or her players every week.

You're not the only one to wonder what, exactly, is going on with yellowdingo.

[Imbicatus]

No. There is another.

[PathlessBeth]

It helps me to picture 'Dingo as a physical protrusion into our reality of a hyperintelligent pan-dimensional being. "His" race (re)shapes reality in their home dimensions by Words of Power, which is why he seems so puzzled by the ineffectiveness of government petitions and Internet conversations to affect meaningful quantifiable change.

He also makes a delicious mango chutney and enjoys a rousing game of Brockian Ultra-Cricket.

Babies. Everyone knows dingoes eat babies.

No, really.

I disagree. Sanity checks are important. If you're crazier than everyone else in THIS forum, its time to check into the loony bin.

They were, but even hyperintelligent pan-dimensional beings aren't immune to lawsuits from Disney. Pending the results, 'Dingo is currently using a real-world avatar that is totally inconspicuous and completely non-threatening to the locals... a 2.5 meter tall anthropomorphic weta. {rolls eyes}

if you consider my pointing out the essential immature narcissism of framing your question with "Am I The Only One", an insult, then you have grounds. I consider it holding up a mirror to those who are obviously obsessed with viewing their reflections.

no, but you're the only one with such sentiments about the thread still posting in it. prolly a problem related 100% to your mental wellbeing.

[Antimony]

You're not the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
You're not the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
You're not the only one

I'm fairly confident that I have a very good assessment with YD. He puts up threads that are deliberately silly and designed to get attention.

It's been working.

If we were to start calling people out on this thread for honesty, it would get very ugly very fast. And in the end, those called on it would leave in a huff and have learned nothing about the little deceptions they tell themselves.

And, sadly, the people who would walk away the most unphased by it would be the people who had the most to learn. Don't you agree?
