Wow... With that one WoTC 4e Fan site posting on the main page, I wonder if HASBRO agrees Kanye West about how Lorraine Williams' role as a DnD brand manager. Also, I wonder if the new policy was what caused Rouse to leave (if he did so by choice).

hafrogman did you want to play in the pbp?

hafrogman · 17th October 2009, 05:23 AM

It looks like you've got plenty of interest, and I'm trying to take it slow with my PbPs for now. So I think I'll pass. Keep me in mind if you have attrition later on.

Dog Moon · 17th October 2009, 05:29 AM

New policy? What was that?

Relique du Madde · 17th October 2009, 06:42 AM

Fan site materials are not official (duh) and I interpreted some of it to be along the lines of you use the Fan Sitekit materials you are bound by GSL.

Well, I survived the first round of Iron DM. Barely. Like, by the skin of my teeth.

That contest is tough, folks. I'm terrified to face InVinoVeritas now; his writing is a lot tighter than mine.

Is it just me? While Japanese women are cute as hell they seem to be really whiney in movies and tv shows. Like spoiled little children. Is this a fair portrait of the women in reality?

Relique du Madde · 20th October 2009, 11:45 AM

I have no clue. The only Japanese Women I see on tv are in Anime.

There is kind of a debate about this raging on another forum I visit...kind of.

linkie?

Sometimes it's kinda cute but after a bit the whininess gets a little tiresome.

Okay, here it is.

It is more about how a concept called Moe(which can be found as a trope on the main wiki) reflects how Japanese women are expected to act...or something like that. It is complicated. The second link is a spin off version that another person wanted to not go off topic.

I am a regular over at those forums, so you can find me there too.

I was running my PBP over there, but I got tired of having the GM hat all the time, so I stopped the game, but I told the players that I was tired of GMing, but that I had a good time.

Looks like you haven't heeded the advice that people constantly give about visiting tvtropes. :P

Blackrat · 21st October 2009, 08:39 AM

Aeson, where are you?

Aeson · 21st October 2009, 02:09 PM

I'm right beside you.

Blackrat · 21st October 2009, 02:11 PM

Ack! Don't go sneaking up like that!!! It's my job

Anyways, I wanted to ask what would be a good language to pick for the game. Something that would make sense for a Shoanti to know...

I'll get back to you on that.

Aeson · 21st October 2009, 02:44 PM

How many can you speak? Varisian might be a good one. Dwarven, goblin, any humanoid you think might be encountered realistically. Meaning cloud Giant or Drow might not be something you'd know but gnoll or orc could be.

Blackrat · 21st October 2009, 02:54 PM

1 more. I got common and the player guide thingy said I get Shoanti for free so I need one more. Varisian is the language of the civilized folk around there right? I think I'll take that...

Galeros · 21st October 2009, 07:45 PM

Hmmm, I need to pick any languages I might know as well.

I know my character would obviously know Common. Is it still that you get the number of bonus languages equal to your intelligence modifier in Pathfinder? I can not find the rule anywhere.
