Making us guess which thread you are talking about is unhelpful. If you want assistance, please include relevant details. Um, probably not? Being in the AI forum does not automatically apply the tag. I just manually applied it to one of the threads in there.

So, this sharing isn't particular to forums. It goes back to the early years of gaming, when there were very few outright publishers, and folks did a lot of their own home-brewed alterations to game systems, which got informally shared around a lot. Okay, so, part of the issue here is...

Morrus is not the U.S. Government, in whole or in any part. Our Constitutional freedom of speech does not apply. You may not have the freedom to post about the death of a particular individual - you might get lucky if we don't see it and nobody reports it... You may not have the freedom to...

Because, if they are not carefully reviewed, nobody would get the idea that NASA was covering something up. And we couldn't have people go to the Moon unambiguously. We have to leave the conspiracy theorists something.

So, as the rules note, we will not discuss specific acts of moderation in public. By making this a discussion thread, you actually limit our ability to get at the root of the matter. So, let me try this: When you want to raise a question about moderation, make sure you have paid close...

Mod Note: Who wants to be thread-banned? Raise your hand, or continue arguing politics in a space dedicated to remembering the dead.

Oh, your arguments make it quite clear that this "debate" isn't going to end. So, let's not pretend, hm?

Sure! I've been a starving student, and know it isn't fun, so if she's interested at least exchanging e-mails with me about it, we can see if she'd like to take a stab at it. I can PM you an e-mail address she can use to contact me. Would that be reasonable?

Yeah - that's the thought. In a previous multi-year game, we developed a tradition of players making things for each other. This is my way of carrying that into this game. Huh. It is a thought. If I am polite, it can't really hurt to ask. So, onto the list that name goes! Thanks for the...

Some of that is gorgeous stuff! What I'm looking for is far simpler than those pieces, but there'll be no harm in asking - so I can add his name to the contact list, thank you!

Excellent idea. Unfortunately, there aren't local cons at this time of year, and I need to consider the lead time for the artist and then also getting patches made. Thus coming online to check. And, you know just wanting to support my community. If there's an artist on the site (or a short...

I am looking to pay someone for a little artwork for a game. For an upcoming live-action game, I would like to make faux NASA "program/mission" patches (and possibly stickers, magnets, etc) for my fellow players for costume use and as mementos. I intend to pay for them out of my own pocket...

I don't usually include firearms in my D&D games, but that's for purely aesthetic and thematic reasons. If I do include them, players will be made aware that their performance will be in line with other weapons in the game, simply for balance reasons. I don't play or run contemporary games on...

Be a little careful of that, though. Such numbers are obtained by polling, and then how you ask the question matters, but not everyone is thoughtful about how they report on the numbers. As and example, the questions, "Do you believe X occurred?" And "Do you believe it is possible that X...

If I have a gaming question, I ask it here. I don't go to gaming sites for civil engineering information. Nor is anyone likely to turn to admonishing voices when looking for further information. (Edit to add: BTW, "slip lane" is an equivalent term. Thanks for looking it up before telling me I...
