I'm not familiar with the posts or the thread, but I admire your apology. It's a classy thing to do. Bless you, bro.

IF I were you, I'd definitely look into this thread: http://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?t=231024 THe dude's gonna spend 101 days (it's an RPGnet thing--they spend 101 days with a new game or something like that) with just D&D RC. I get the impression he's relatively new to the game, so...

So a 40-year-old high school teacher is at the home of some teenagers, hanging out with them? Yep, that's real normal. [Why do I get the feeling that one day I'm going to see this teacher on the evening news with a coat over his head? :( ]

It'd be funny if it wasn't so true. :( I stopped playing 3.X altogether because every time we entered a combat the game ground to a halt, the miniatures and map came out, and people starting counting squares, planning strategy, and using rulers to measure line of sight and other nonsense. It...

It sure *looks* cool. And anything with zombies and shopping malls can't be that bad . . .

LITERALLY? :confused: You mean someone is *literally* pulling my wallet out of my back pocket, removing money, and putting it back without me knowing it? EVERY DAY? Wow! :confused: (Or maybe you meant 'figuratively'?)

Check FATDRAGONGAMES' sig.

I have to disagree with you here. Hero Builder's Guidebook is, in my opinion, an excellent resource for helping new players create a character. It's so good that I own several copies and hand them out to people new to D&D. However, it is useless for a seasoned player and/or DM. Perhaps...

Hmmm...who has too much free time, the man who has too much free time, or the man who has enough free time to point out that the man has too much free time? [scratches chin, smokes pipe] At any rate, we can all agree that the ad wasn't very funny. No harm done. ;)

agreed. the panexa thing's not funny--just stupid. but those Paranoia players who think they're the first person to think of saying, "Citizen!" are truly LAME.

While I agree that the moral relativism of folks like Arravis is indeed a bit frightening, keep in mind that it's all just academic masturbation. It's the kind of thing they spout off in philosophy classes that have no contact with the real world. But if you put a dude like Arravis in any...

Sounds cool. Frankly, I'm not completely surprised. The game has been evolving into a "power character ability stack" model since 3.0, and I for one am glad to see it! After all, people who don't like it can always play AD&D or C&C. The idea of "feat cards" is intriguing. Maybe I'm just a...

Actually, that isn't accurate. I saw the movie EVENT HORIZON, and the spaceship is clearly sucked into the dimensional vortex at the film's end. No escape.

Uh . . . do these people who don't like to role play realize that they are playing a role-playing game? <scratches head>

So my group is taking a break and there's this one guy who's die-hard 1e. I mean, he plays in our 3e group and enjoys it, but he's always going on about the "good old days" and "in my day we didn't have halfling paladins, we bitch-slapped halflings instead", etc. So finally we challenged him...
