U know ... the report button obviously isn't for reporting site rules violations like: "keep it civil, keep it clean, and keep it on topic and keep it inclusive" I get red-text everywhere I post, even on threads I create - meanwhile other people can post whatever kinda comments they want on...

Well. I tried - and I'm done with this thread (y)

Well. "Narrative" relates to storytelling and if a character gets more capable, you can now tell different kinds of stories. I think the "power-ups" are for that exact reason? I mean the original Superman was fighting bank robbers and corrupt officials, then a few decades later he's fighting an...

$23 quid for a PDF shhhhheeeeeeeeeeeeessh. And it's 300 pages when SR 4A was 326 - I thought it was supposed to be "rules-lite"?:oops: Guess I'm stuck with GURPS SR.

That's called Adultery. You find a game you love and yalls git married and live happily ever after. Unless something better comes along, then you fire up the divorce papers and marry your new significant other. There can only be one. Having more than one means neither is truly loved. Draw...

Hm. Is anyone leaving the current edition of D&D for Draw Steel? If so, why?

It's kind of weird that people aren't using adblockers in this day and age. The internet is drowning in ads:eek:
