    Male gamers: Weal or woe?

    The same way barren women do: Not well.

    Male gamers: Weal or woe?

    I'm waiting until the porn star one ends. It'll take a few years: the shelf life for porn stars keeps going up.

    Male gamers: Weal or woe?

    This is why I only game with transvestites.

    Current Inspirations?

    I'm currently designing a short-term game (1-3 months of play) that mixes elements of the Master and Commander series with a horror movie. Still need to pick a system for it, though. Unknown Armies is a contender.

    LFG booted from DragonCon

    Still not as creepy as stalking someone, I imagine.

    LFG booted from DragonCon

    You find keeping a wiki for informative/humorous purposes just as creepy as stalking someone? You so crazy.

    PHB3 Debut: Ardent Speculation

    Yes, but devolve is a word. "To go downhill," only slightly less pejorative in connotation. Evolution has the connotation that things got better (you know this, you're Darwin) over time...in essence, that the change was needed, for whatever reason. Doctorhook reasonably changed it to "change...

    December and Beyond!

    A rogue that employs stealth as a lethal weapon? What the heck were they doing before? Hopefully it's an Int or Wis build, I'm sick of this Cha crap.

    Or devolves, depending on how one sees it.

    PHB3 Debut: Ardent Speculation

    I'm partial to Zealot, actually. Has a modern-day flare to it, and really expands on a central theme of psionics, the ki focus. Well, namely the "focus" part. Ardent, on the other hand, is just meh. Nothing about it really grabs you. Plus, it's like nouning a verb, which is something I just...

    What's the highest level your regular 4e game has reached?

    Ended a campaign at 21st level, just got a HINT of the madness that is the Epic tier.

    Why do you lke the Primal source?

    It feels wholly separate from the other sources. That was my main worry when I heard about it. I never really felt any difference between how a fighter and a barbarian swing a sword, except one's yelling a lot more. Now, I can really feel the difference both in fluff and play. Also, I like...

    Oots 687

    It's NOT! That's the hilarious thing. :) Example: A group of young people have been given guidance by both their god directly and the leaders of their community to journey across the ocean and destroy an evil empire, any way they can. "The world will be in peril, and evil will claim it if...

    Oots 687

    Yep! One of the funniest things about D&D. Top Reasons to Murder Someone in D&D: 1. My god(s) told me to! 2. You're different from us! You don't even speak COMMON! 3. You've been doing things that I disagree with! 4. You have something I want/need! or any combination thereof. I don't...

    Answering Questions about Draconomicon: Metallic Dragons (was: Primal Power Preview)

    I don't know, he does seem to be dismissive...for instance, he's dismissing a DM's ability to take the mechanic and make it as epic and cinematic as they want. Also, his "inability to comprehend others' appreciation" could be described in ways that don't involve a cheap shot about being. Plus...

    Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay Preview Picture

    I look at that picture, I realize it's supposed to be an RPG, but I just can't wrap my head around it. :erm: I'll have to do a one-shot at a con or something before I really judge it, but it looks like something I'd have a hard time getting immersed in. DM: You've been bitten by a diseased...

    4E Class Survivor - Round 15 (To determine the final 3)

    Voted for Rogue. Think there should be a secondary Int build, that's what I was hoping for in Martial Power. No such luck. Fighter's gonna win it.

    Goliath Warden Build Help

    Caveat: I'm not really good at this. You want to make sure that enemies can't get past you/away from you to attack your friends. The Warden's really good at that anyway, thankfully. Random suggestions: There's a feat that slows enemies on a successful OA. That way, they probably won't be...

    Do you consider 4e D&D "newbie teeball"?

    Not even if the system is FATAL? ;)
