The specific complaint was “gross corpospeak”. Let’s go ahead and use your explanation of the situation instead of mine, as it is indeed more accurate: how would you disseminate this change to your customers in a way that’s not “gross corpospeak”?

How would you prefer they say it? Unless you mean to say they’re not within their rights to stop giving away a product?

Cut an orange in half, scoop out the insides. Ancient diaphragm.

Planting seeds in Mennipus, v nice

Los Viagras? Seriously? That’s the best cartel name they could come up with?

Have your characters be from Somewhere Else and and make being in a strange place part of the story and any “lack of info” becomes a feature instead of a bug.

Have premade lists of random names for people, places, etc. and cross off stuff as you use it.

Don’t be afraid to let the players do some work to fill in lore: Character 1:“GM, which town has the best smithy?” GM: “Character 2, you said your father was a smith. Which town did he always talk about?” GM: “Character 3, why is Character 2’s dad mistaken?”

Lastly ChatGPT can help with this a LOT. Feed it a few prompts about a place or thing and ask it to generate a few points of interest.

Butchered that meme like it was a 70s coed

They don’t care about that kind of stuff in here

Joe Biden is a fascist? Lol

Target rich environment

Wait, they want to put all the assholes in one place? We should let them, it’ll make it easier later.

And you provide what return, besides snark

I feel similarly but one of those choices is guaranteed not to help the people you’d like to see helped

I would have guessed it was titties

Wrath of the Righteous isn’t PF2e? I thought it was

B corp certified too

I’d argue that’s besides the point. The game is supposed to facilitate collaborative fun. An important thing to remember as a GM is to be a fan of the players. Want them to succeed. Make it challenging, yes, but never make it “DM vs players”.

Besides, think of the lost dramatic potential. Perhaps the barbarian is haunted by what they briefly witnessed in the afterlife. Or, maybe, the cleric senses the dragon prepare the spell and as a boon their deity ensures the spell succeeds, but now the deity needs something in return from the barbarian, who didn’t agree to any of this.

Or they could just counterspell it and “beat” their players.

Trust issues, lol

The players were trying to bring their fallen comrade back to life (and back into the fight) but the DM opted to use an ability of the dragon to counter the spell, meaning dead dude stays dead.

If this was true broccoli wouldn’t still be a thing
