Took the middle child to the hobby store,he has been saving up for a while. He wanted a hero or Captain and he asked me which one was the strongest. I said, the better way to choose is which one looks the coolest to you! #RuleOfCool #Warhammer

This should have counted #RuleofCool

What are your D&D house rules?

That Tre Harris catch should have counted #RuleofCool

Extra Points will do the same.

1) #RuleofCool > Whatever the rulebook says
2) FINE I'll file the FOIA
3) Saying "the changing collegiate sports landscape" is worse than treason
4) Take the dumb things seriously and be dumb about the serious things
5) more bowl games should dump things on people

The Rule of Cool... and Kindness - MarkEzraStokes.com Encouraging Compassion Through Narrative Choices Your players are at the inevitable moment of battle. The rogue draws her dagger and slinks into the corner. The barbarian kicks down the door between the party and their enemies. The bard determines whether he can distract a footsoldier long enough for the rogue to slit its throat. How […]

The “Rule of Cool” isn’t about spectacle alone.

It’s about moments that make the table go quiet for half a second.

Compassion does that better than bloodshed.

Here's why I say that: markezrastokes.com/t...

Hot take:

Violence is easy.
Compassion is risky.

That’s why compassion is more narratively resonant.
It costs something. It changes things.
It lingers.

I built some old Mk I Rhinos for my Guard. It's been a long time since that was a legal option on the tabletop, but that's not why I did it.

probably just the former bc they're focusing more on the #RuleOfCool

I run the teens D&D group at my local library. They do some very random things.

One of my players asked to wield a +2 squeegee! (Rule of Cool to the rescue!)

Rule of Cool in D&D: Balancing Fun and Structure - Ruckerworks Explore the nuances of applying the Rule of Cool in Dungeons & Dragons. This article discusses how to enhance gameplay by balancing creativity with the game's established rules.

This week I'm running a PvP session with the teens D&D group I DM. It gets crazy -- lots of creativity, and SQUEEGEES! Rule of cool for the win. #dnd #ttrpg #RuleOfCool #fantasy

I aspire to be as cool a DM as you. A good DM lets his/her/their players dig a bomb-filled pit. You let them fill it with boiling cheese. #ruleofcool

Creator's face in glasses hovers next to a clipart squeegee. The text "Rule of Cool" hovers above the title "There are no squeegees in D&D!"

A player in the teens D&D group I run asked if their character can wield a +2 Squeegee.

Rule of Cool to the rescue!

I forget how cathartic rolling math rocks is!

Watching my oldest be willing to sacrifice their own life to save another player using the #RuleofCool just warms my hear and makes me so proud.

If only the party would have tried looking for traps in the first place lmao!

Fan art of the Magic the Gathering hypothetical just-for-fun card pairing of Rainbow Dash and Archaon the Everchosen for potential synergy hijinks.

I'm not a strong MtG player (having recently been brought back to it), and my friends are incredibly patient with me. I was inspired to make my own version of this MtG deck pitch after stumbling across a meme and other art. #mlp #mlpfim #rainbowdash #fanart #ruleofcool #20percentcooler

A series of comic panels. Batman shatters a tank at the Gotham Aquarium, flooding the room and washing away his assailants who wear black skull masks. Captions read, "Don't get me wrong... the ever-escalating rule of cool is fun... but it seems reminiscent of something." Batman avoids the flood by using his cape like spikes to dig into the ceiling, suspending himself. He says, "Well my power level's over 9,000! This isn't even my final form!" Captions read, "Oh right... now I remember." A caption reads "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Art sampled from "Absolute Batman" Vol. 1 #2 by Scott Snyder, Nick Dragotta, Frank Martin, Clayton Cowles, Sabrina Futch, Katie Kubert, and Chris Conroy. Edits: Altered and added captions, added dialogue.

In an inset comic panel, Robin, a.k.a. Damian Wayne, screams "Bane!" In the main panel, Robin is revealed to be riding a green feathered dinosaur about three times his size. Robin holds makeshift reins with one hand, and with the other he brandishes a katana. The dinosaur leaps at Bane with sharp teeth and talons. Robin shouts, "This is the most awesome I have ever been!" A caption reads, "A Kilowog-core Edit".

Ya' may be cool, but ya' ain't never gonna be Robin ridin' a dinosaur with a katana while he attacks Bane cool!
