I'm clearly a brainlet, should I play this game?
Jacob Mitchell
It's entirely up to the GM to decide what the hourglass does, so you're not really a brainlet. At least, not without any set-up or context clues. A diminished scenario like that leaves little room for guesswork.
By the way, I'm fairly certain the "answer is to turn the hourglass upside down.

when you describe an empty room that only contains people are going to try and interact with

I would turn the hourglass to the side, so no sand is moving anywhere.

Should have attacked a wall, or teleported away, or asked god for advice, or diplomanced the wyverns. That how actual d&d works, not le smart puzzles
Thomas Thompson
Imagine playing with someone so unimaginative.
Christopher Mitchell
This.
Jack Barnes
play a barbarian and get praised for being a brainlet as long as you make the table laugh you're tolerated
Jack Rogers
I hate players like that, though I've literally never GM'ed or played in a game with a barbarian that didn't do exactly this. It's a shame.
Ayden Cox
It's especially disappointing since the ur-barbarian, Conan, is quite cunning.
