Expedition: general discussions.

So you mean all NPCs and player characters should be genderless angel-like beings, just so nothing "accumulates in the corners"

No. As I already said, "to each their own." If you want to play sluts — go ahead. My characters are of a "different plane." There's no need to "mock" them...

And nobody should joke about your character being an incel.

First of all, not an "incel." An incel is some pumpkin-headed guy from the "underground." Second, it's allowed if you understand the line between trolling and malicious trolling. And if you don't, then it's better not to...

Ok, I have no questions about those points. But what if this happens: your character annoys an NPC with their persistence to the point that the NPC kills them. Purely in terms of game mechanics, in combat, the NPC is simply stronger. You can't punish him because your character is dead. Is this GM own-goal/arbitrariness? Just that such cases have happened. When a player character intentionally asks for it, and then the player gets offended that they were killed.

I cannot answer this question unequivocally. It depends on the situation. If throughout the game I see malicious trolling by the Mage Guild or don't understand what is happening, then that is one situation. If not, then it's another. In any case, my characters avoided all kinds of conflicts. Actually, Erika's clash with Jingo was probably the only one across all 4 exps. But there, "GM arbitrariness" had already reached a point where it was completely unacceptable... I just got fed up with everything...

If you're interested, I dropped exps only because my characters' stats were being lowered. I dropped even when my characters ended up fine despite such NPCs. Revan dropped my exp right at the end because of a similar NPC. Even though he didn't intend to harm his character. Heroist dropped my exp because, as he saw it, an NPC cheated him. Not the GM, but an NPC. And this is only what I remembered quickly; if you dig deeper, you can find more examples. So don't talk to me about "the norm" here.

I wasn't aware of any of that. When I asked about the essence of the exp, nobody gave me a clear answer. On the other hand, I saw your little jokes about exps even outside those very exps. For example, "XXX" in the last Mafia... I also remember Revan posting a photo of a guy with a chainsaw somewhere, and the comments were like "This is the last thing seen in life by someone who refused to kiss the boot" or something along those lines. In short, I had whatever "info" I had...

I don't like it. And most likely nobody likes it. But such situations aren't 99% of exps. Now tell me, do you see a queue of people willing to run an exp for free 10-12 hours a day for a couple of months, from which you could choose a GM who won't have such NPCs?

Following one's own "regulations" doesn't take much effort... For me, this is a very serious point. Where there are "no rules," arbitrariness begins. I won't delve deeper "into the topic." Those who get it, get it; those who don't, don't...

In Alex's exp, for the record, I got screwed by a tentacle monster, and I was a man

You dealt with it in the end. So, in principle, it's acceptable.
