I also think that a Jumanji allows for a certain degree of back-and-forth. Even if you're sometimes trapped, you might enter, leave, then enter again, and there may be aome two way bleed. But I think a big thing for a Jumanji you are entering an artificial world.

I've had a surprising number of Isekai/Jumanji debates (tbh any number more than one is surprising), and while there are apparently a lot of nuances to it, the upshot seems to be that if you get physically sucked in its a Jumanji. The sucking is very important.

Really sorry about this, mate, but I'm pretty sure that DIE isn't an Isekai; its a Jumanji.

To be fair, while I also appreciate that, it's a choice by the publisher, rather than myself, so I'll pass your love on to Gollancz!

Come on, dude, that's like one practice every 2h20m - it's a pretty forgiving timeframe, surely you can manage?

Adulthood is just a neverending series of discovering your own petty derangements, isn't it?

Fucking vandalism. Had to spend some time round Battersey recently and every time I passed the old power station it was a punch in the gut how they massacred it.

I mean, I suppose if you're the only one who's realised the human body has a vulnerability to sledgehammers, that does sort of make you more cerebral than your opponents. Or is the implication that he is using the sledgehammer to assassinate the enemy's cerebelum?

Yeah, I'm absolutely not against critique or deep thinking about TTRPGs, it's just some people get weirdly prescriptive and borderline moralistic about it!

Oh yeah, I'm certainly not making an arguement that games can't be better or worse for what a group enjoys, and there are plenty of TTRPGs I think are bad games, but that doesn't mean a group enjoying it are wrong, and 'bad game' isn't synonymous with 'I don't like to play this way'.
