Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Dungeons and Dragons stuff.

If you were to find an empty room there's a decent chance there's something invisible in it, from a metagaming perspective, because why waste the players' time like that?

In ye olde editions traps and ambushes were way more common so a certain set of paranoid behaviors became standard practice. One of the ways of dealing with illusion magic is by disbelieving it, so a simply paranoid party could get advantage to dispelling illusions by saying they don't believe what they they see, in theory.

However, just because the DM is out to get you doesn't mean you aren't a basket case.

Thank you, that explains a lot. I haven't played DND yet and I definitely don't know the history of it like that!

I always required the PC to behave as if they didn't believe to disbelieve. Just saying it does nothing. You must walk into the fire to disbelieve the fire.
