This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

nor can you make another player do something they don't want

What gave you that idea? Games make other players do stuff they don't want all the time.

[–] match@pawb.social 1 points 2 months ago

the GM can make players do things they don't want, if players disagree it is at best a contested check but in almost all cases the controlling player controls their own character

Yes, but in table top unless you signed up for a PvP game, other players don't get to dictate how your character is. And even the DM shouldn't railroad.

The rules and scenarios do that all the time lol
