Why do I roll the dice?
I won't tell you twice
The answer sure ain't nice
It's my vicious vice
Playas are my sacrifice
I'm not in it for the green
I'm just cruel and mean
My GMin's so obscene
Like Baudelaire's spleen
Every campaign's a tontine
Know what I mean?
*mic slips in sweaty palms, fumbles for it, drops it, pretends that was intentional and walks away tall*

Conan was what came to mind first. Alexander the great is my go to for war-master quotes.

All forms of fiction, including roleplaying games, are obligations to the beings that live within them. Our constant thoughts are the fabric of their existence. To stop playing would be to snuff them out, an act of a cruel and careless god.

Veilgn, I think I understand.
At some point I stopped seeing moving and insightful.
Now the best I see is tiresomely clever.
Our inspirations have turned from literature, to movies, to TV, and, finally, to video games.Sigh.
You skipped songs. I've got more characters based on songs/musicians than any of those.
So is that an improvement?

The purpose of this, or any game, is to have fun. If you're not having fun, then you shouldn't play it and look for a game or activity that IS more enjoyable to you.

I also FAQ'd. About time the dev team got around to answering this one.

I believe RAW already answers this question. The pertinent text is: "A GM's duty is to provide a fair and fun game."
Your move, internet...

What's the purpose of this question? What the purpose of any game, really? It's to play. If you're not finding the play in the game, perhaps you're in the wrong game.

Wait--are we talking Aristotelian four causes, or a Bayesian network?

i kind of hope you dont know the answer but... is... is, uh, "corpse thud" a different sound than just a regular thud?Also, imagine what an OUT OF WORK Cosmo would do...wait, no, don't...::head explodes::
::corpse thud::
It is, in fact a very distinct and different sound. Although it takes a DC 30 Perception or Perform (percussion) check to notice the difference.

Queen Raven doth hit the nail on it's head...
(IMO a corpse thud is "that sound" we hear all the time for someone/thing falling over dead in movies and TV, same thing as "that death scream", you know, the one that likely dozens of movies have used, that one elven archer in LotR "The Two Towers" who gets shot off the wall of Helm's Deep by an orc crossbow bolt at the beginning of that battle. That iconic little high pitched undulating scream, I have heard it myself now in 36 years on earth in at least a dozen movies, and half that many TV shows)
I wonder if the guy/gal, or whomever it was that was recorded making that horrible death scream gets royalties when the sound bite gets used?

Trivia moment: It's called The Wilhelm Scream. Sadly, no royalties.

To be honest, I'm just in it for an excuse to flip tables. It doesn't have to be an RPG. Any table-related activity would do.
I like my friends and I like to play games with them.

To build a character wielding a pair of s***f Nunchaku.
Wait, are those nunchaku made of two S***fs strung together? Or nunchaku specifically designed for whacking S***fs? Or nunchaku of a size that is useable by S***fs (by my estimate a total of 1/3 an apple high for each whackin part)?
So... many... questions...
The purpose of this game is to eventually reach a level of simulationism such that the game world functions by a more detailed set of laws than reality itself.

As an aside, the excuse: "Sorry, I have to wash my S***f nunchucks" has now entered my lexicon. Irrevocably.

You have no idea, the thanks. And, unlike many pro forma social excuses, this one dramatically decreases the chance the other person will ask me for anything else ever again.
Until I encounter a S***f nunchaku enthusiast, who excitedly begins offering helpful sanitation tips... gah!
Why must my actions have consequences?!

Someone asked Gary Gygax what D&D was about, if not 'winning'(I myself remember people when I was growing up ask me re: roleplaying games "How do you WIN?"), he replied "Continued, successful participation."
