    Ish. Dont shit where you eat. Its risky to play with coworkers, but really dangerous to play with your boss. I highly advise everyone NOT to do it

      Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can’t separate work from personal time then you really shouldn’t be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I’ve had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.

      Can vary. If they were all planning to come anyway, this is just hilarious.

      That’s just silly. I DM for a group made out of two of my employees and two other people in different teams. It’s only brought us together more, now we do stuff for each other’s birthdays and have our own inside jokes and shit, there’s only been positive outcomes.

          You’re serious, that’s hilarious. But it’s a bit more likely that it’s just the “kool” spelling of those words.

          Zoomies, gather around and I’ll tell you a story about kool k and Mortal Kombat

            Do not cite the Deep Magic to me… I was there when it was written. The inspiration for the K in MK was because they couldn’t get Combat passed the legal department for the trademark. If you wanted to make an argument for “cool K,” Kris Kross did it first in March ‘92, before Mortal Kombat came out the same year in October (not to ignore the honorable mention of Ice Cube’s AmeriKKKa’s Most Wanted, even Monty Python did it first in a sketch.

            My only point was that someone more culturally aware might perceive the risks of that name given the context of rising white supremacist violence and rhetoric in the US especially in the current and ex-military ranks.

              No offense but that’s sorta insane. I know how Lemmy is but this is just reaching. Normal people aren’t going to think KKK when they see that Dungeons and Dragons name that has two Ks lol

      Fun fact. In Finland KKK is known for “Kylmä, Koho, Kompressio” or in English, “cold, lift up, compression” for treating common sport injuries

      It’s probably nothing. You could say the same about “Krusty Krab.”

    This is why you shouldn’t try and make friends with your boss. Too much of a power difference.

      My boss is awesome. We hang out. You need to judge the situation since every situation is unique.

              I was responding to someone that needed the obvious stated to them since they made a false blanket statement.

                Someone said : careful with your boss, they have power over you.

                You said : silly, my boss is awesome

                So now here is my obvious question. What if said boss isnt awesome ? Worst, what is DND turns sour a good relationship like countless others ?

                Forget your awesome boss lucky dude and think about bosses in general. Think

                  No, they didn’t say “careful with your boss.” They said “you shouldn’t make friends with your boss.” I made friends with my boss and it worked out just fine.

                  If you’re at the point of rephrasing things to win a stupid internet argument then I’ll let you have this one. I’m out.

      Generally people don’t commit to a campaign if it’s not something they want to do. In my experience, the “scheduling conflicts” referred to are probably other responsibilities outside player control. I can’t claim to be intimately familiar with military life, but I presume they aren’t being ordered to supercede the players’ will to be there, but to take advantage of the military hierarchy to clear their play time from other orders.

      I play with the person who makes my schedule, and it’s awesome.
