    Ish. Dont shit where you eat. Its risky to play with coworkers, but really dangerous to play with your boss. I highly advise everyone NOT to do it

      Ehh really depends on your boss. And honestly it depends on you also. If either of you can’t separate work from personal time then you really shouldn’t be hanging out. But for most of the bosses I’ve had, some lighthearted social time outside of work was perfectly fine.

          Please tell me you can play a single campaign without playing the horny bard, buying slaves, or torturing goblin prisoners

            I have met enough players and DMs with whom I disagreed or got their bad side enough time to thank the fact that I was happy I wouldnt meet them at work the next day.

            Its the same thing as not working with your lover. If there is something wrong or bad happening at home, you dont wanna keep it going at work afterwards.

            But to answer you, yeah I can. Ill torture kobolds instead. /s

              That kinda goes back to what I said about you also needing to factor in how well you and the other people can separate the two environments. If that is a personal limitation, then it’s best to understand it and manage it as you suggest.

              Personally I have no issue keeping work at work and home at home. There have been many times where my coworkers and I have had a tense week at work, full of disagreement and debates, only to hang out like bros on the weekend. There’s one coworkers who can’t make that separation, and that’s fine. They’ve realized it and I’ll respect that boundary.

                I know how I can do it. And Im not going to risk finding out my boss cannot do it well.

                I have had good and bad bosses. Flying under the radar of bad ones is how you do it. And Im no lt gonna risk turning a good boss into a bad for a game, no matter if that game was the best ever.

                That is surviving.

      That’s just silly. I DM for a group made out of two of my employees and two other people in different teams. It’s only brought us together more, now we do stuff for each other’s birthdays and have our own inside jokes and shit, there’s only been positive outcomes.

    This is why you shouldn’t try and make friends with your boss. Too much of a power difference.

      Imagine being a private and marrying a Major. She could just order me to mow the lawn, haha. she could order me to cook dinner every night and wear a slutty apron while I do it lol. She could order me to go down on her while she does paperwork and writes up punishments for other male soldiers under her command who have messed up during the week. She could make me lay down face up while she does pushups with her hands around my throat so she’s choking me out the whole time. Geez that would be funny, right guys? Haha!

        Soldiers have the duty to disobey orders that are illegal or unconstitutional, so she could not make you wear a slutty apron because that would likely violate your right to personal identity.

    That’s pretty great. I’ve known a few Captains that would probably do this. They really are the spec 4’s of commissioned officers. Cool Majors are harder to find, but exist. LTC and above, good fucking luck.

        I can’t tell if this is some weird euphemism, or they literally just had to cross a river and maybe got way too deep into tactics.
