Had this conversation with someone who chose to no longer be at my table after meeting a blind NPC
(files.catbox.moe)
Another player who was at the table during the incident sent me this meme after the problem player in question (they had a history) left the group chat.
Felt like sharing it here because I'm sure more people should keep this kind of thing in mind.
No, it's argued agaibst because it doesn't make any sense logistically or economically.
And no, handwaving it away because "it's a fantasy setting, realism doesn't matter" is not an argument. There's a thing called suspension of disbelief, which requires a settng to be internally consistent.
I’m responding specifically to the difficulty some folks have, with understanding why a disabled person wouldn’t want to be ‘fixed’.
The issue is that in a setting with access to healing magic, you generally wouldn't suffer from a disability long enough for it to be part of your identity
Again, my comment wasn’t responding to the magical rpg aspect at all, just the person who doesn’t want their disability to be addressed in any way. Not a character, a real human actual person.
