General RPG DiscussionDiscussion of all RPGs and non-system-specific topics. DM/GM/player issues, settings, etc. Rules discussion belongs in one the forums below.
It's not exactly fair to change the rules without a warning.
I think I'm done here.
Good luck to you all with your serious business.
I wish you the best in your gaming endeavours.
I leave you with a song in my heart. (Apologies to Don McLean.)
A long, long time ago,
I can still remember,
How ENWorld used to make me smile.
And I knew despite the staff
That I could make the people laugh
And maybe stop edition wars for a while.
But April '09 made them callous
With a post about a Dragonborn phallus
Sealed away in the mod forum
What would they do with this quorum?
While some remarks were kind of snide,
Making newbies hard to guide.
A decision I could not abide,
The day "Teh Funny" died.
So, bye-bye from this Charwoman guy,
Fantastic while it lasted
Now makes me want to cry
And them old grognards whom I fought with the most
Typing "This is gonna be my last post"
"This is gonna be my last post"
Were you born as a babelfish pun?
And did you create the Pantheon?
If the archive says its true.
Well I thought it was kind of neat,
When Eric got his face on Tiger Beat.
But now those days are long behind.
When darkness threatened our forum space,
Morrus stepped in, no time did waste.
And we were saved its true.
But now its too late for you.
There we were, just going strong
Then The Rouse showed up and before too long
A new edition came which some thought wrong
That's why "teh Funny" died
So, bye-bye from this EnWorld guy,
Fantastic while it lasted
Now makes me want to cry
And them old grognards whom I fought with the most
Typing "This is gonna be my last post"
"This is gonna be my last post"
Then came Pathfinder and other stuff
And we still argued 'crunch vs. fluff'
And I thought we might have it made
But we got hit with edition wars
And it wasn't long at all before
People whined about how other people played
In the end, the mood grew dark
Because some people had enough of snark
A lot of folks were jokin'
But now the mods have spoken.
The witty stuff I love the most.
Is gone for good from every post.
The board's as dry as plain white toast.
The day "Teh Funny" died.
So, bye-bye from this Charwoman guy,
Fantastic while it lasted
Now makes me want to cry
And them old grognards whom I fought with the most
Typing "This is gonna be my last post"
"This is gonna be my last post"
I am sayin' bye-bye from this Charwoman guy,
Fantastic while it lasted
Now makes me want to cry
And them old grognards whom I fought with the most
Typing "This is gonna be my last post"
"This is gonna be my last post"
Dude, if this is supposed to be some sort of bardic vampire joke, it is decidedly not funny. Please refrain from such lighthearted comments in the future

Man: Doctor, doctor! I can't stop singing 'What's New, Pussycat'!
Doctor: It sounds like you have Tom Jones Syndrome.
Man: Tom Jones Syndrome?! I've never heard of it. Is it very rare?
Doctor: Well, it's not unusual. . .

Why red, why this colour that is barely readable...it says much upon you...you are not readable.
You are but a drip, from a cut finger.

__________________ It is the spirit of the game, not the letter of the rules, which is important. NEVER hold to the letter written, nor allow some barracks room lawyer to force quotations from the rule book upon you, IF it goes against the obvious intent of the game. As you hew the line with respect to conformity to major systems and uniformity of play in general, also be certain the game is mastered by you and not by your players. Within the broad parameters give in the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Volumes, YOU are creator and final arbiter. By ordering things as they should be, the game as a WHOLE first, your CAMPAIGN next, and your participants thereafter, you will be playing Advanced Dungeons and Dragons as it was meant to be. May you find as much pleasure in so doing as the rest of us do.
It's like someone woke up this morning and said, "Ban me, Pirratecat! I'm breaking the new rules!"
And I said, "sure."
Seriously, folks: It's time to treat the hobby we love with all due respect. No more jokes, no more humor.
BANNED!
