It can't have been this long, can it? Have I really been Out of Town for over a year? *shakes his head* Know, oh Shemeska, that if the infinities of Exalted and Planescape clash violently in my head, breaking my mind, it will be your fault. :heh: And I suspect, I will thank you for it. But...

Obviously - 'long-winded' after all implies, that it is *too* long ;). Five minutes of inspired description from one player can be awesome while twenty seconds from another or in a different situation can be painfully long. Thus, the more description without it becoming long-winded, the cooler...

I however am. But then I'm currently playing Exalted :cool:.

*laughs with maniacal glee*

I had an unrelated nightmare a few weeks ago and can't remember, when I had the last one before that. I just don't have any or I simply don't remember them - can't say I have a problem with that ;). When I was really yound though, I used to dream of falling down the stairs - we lived in...

For me it was exactly the other way around. *Because* I have read the book (many times), I'm annoyed because of the parts left out. If I hadn't read the book ... well, I probably wouldn't have understood much of what was really going on, but it still would have been cool. Not understanding...

Woah, this is a first time. The first time I really liked a book, wanted to like the movie too, and then the movie adaption went WAY past the acceptable suck-factor*. Incredibly rushed, more important parts left out than I can count and the distinct feeling of NOT being a real Harry Potter...

Voted 'you guys are screwed', but in a good way. :P

It's full of brilliant ideas for a game (d20 modern, maybe nWoD?), but as a movie I didn't do too much for me. Many great scenes and the beginning was fantastic, but at the end it just imploded IMO. Maybe it comes from a different sense of narrative conventions, but the end of the maelstroem as...

What would 'well designed' mean in this case? What to watch out for, what to avoid? After several months of Exalted my mindset is far away from the intricacies of DnD character-tweaking ... my thoughts, if I was to go that way, were to select a few useful cantrips then True Strike, Protection...

So, I'm making a character to join a new group and after a few months of other systems I'm struggling a little with the system. So, a little help would be appreciated. The idea is inspired by Boondock Saints, a man driven by his belief to punish the wicked, committing heinous deeds in the...

*is absolutely clueless (:p) but joins in anyway*

It hates my city :(.

My knowledge of the kind of physics involved comes from popular science books (Michio Kaku et al), so this may be totally wrong, but ... They have more consistent theories now, that explicitely disallow this? To my knowledge (which is admittedly not quite up-to-date) all this rotating-black...

Smurfing fantastic!
