19th Apr 2022, 6:00 AM in What About Discord?

Letting a player do something exceptional in exchange for some kind of compromise is a common tool for a GM to say “Yes, but” to the players’ requests.

Any stories about letting players get away with something impressive at a cost?

Transcript:

Discord: Might as well go for the full set while I’m here, right? Gotta collect ‘em all!
DM: So you’re going to try pulling all the Elements?
Discord GM: As long as it remains an effective way to keep their pony bearers off-guard, certainly!
Twilight Sparkle: Okay, no. This nonsense has got to stop. Can I roll Arcana to protect us all from this effect?
DM: Yes, though doing so may compromise the illusory glamour you’re holding up.
Discord GM: Pardon?
Twilight Sparkle: Acceptable! <roll>
SFX: (FLASH!) (BWOM)
DM: Discord, for just a moment, you notice Twilight’s body flickering.
Discord GM: … Ohhh-hohoho! Is that so?
