TheToblinI'm grateful to have players I can just relentlessly abuse.
That came out wrong.
I'm grateful to have players WHOSE CHARACTERS I can relentlessly abuse.

bignoseI like the way #ApocalypseWorld puts it:
> Respond with fuckery and intermittent rewards. As in “fuck around with,” not “fuck over.”
> […] Intermittently, though, right, give one of the players’ characters exactly what she hoped for, and maybe go a little beyond. Do it just enough, and not when they expect it, so that they always hope that this time is one of the times that it’ll work out.
and
> Be a fan of the players’ characters.
@bignose Yeah, exactly! And it's probably a bit tongue-in-cheek as one of my players told me, explicitly, "fuck me up, fam".
Her character has gone through so much trauma that she's probably approaching some form of breaking point.
But that's also the beauty of TTRPGs, where we can explore these things in a safe space.
