And no one has advocated it. If anything, it's been almost universally decried as bad writing on D&D's end of things. Evil, on the other hand, can absolutely be played in any setting, just not by people who don't understand how intelligent (or at least, not moronic) evil works when inside a...

It counts for about 3/4 of a cookie. :p Oh, right. You've got those Australian mosquitoes. Yeah, I'm a northerner, ours are barely half an inch long, and not nearly as bad. Ours are neutral. Yours... yeah, from everything I've heard, evil works. Now there's the magic of true, well played...

No no, Than's that other guy. ;) And that's not quite what I meant, either. I personally despise 3E's take in having vampires as feral animalistic predators, because it's another support for the "Chaotic Evil = raving idiot" stereotypes that have taken over 4E's demon concepts. But that's...

Yes, D&D Vampires are listed as being "Always Chaotic Evil". They're also presented as feral, animalistic predators by 3E standards. By D&D alignment standards, you'll never find a "Good" vampire, no matter how altruistic they may be, because their feeding method causes undue suffering via...

I wouldn't say that movie killed the popularity at all, and I doubt if White Wolf's sales would either (if anything, I believe sales on Vampire: the Requiem have likely increased in the 4E announcement era from gamers wanting to invest in something else when 3.5 goes out of active print -...

She's sidelined by WoW/work/personal matters, not necessarily in any order. I only hear from her once a month or so by email lately, if I'm lucky.

Which is why I noted down 3/3.5E as well, because both incarnations of the Dragonborn have the same problem in regards to how the people of Ford's Keep would react. While Greyhawk was, for all intents and purposes, the default setting for non-setting specific products, those products often went...

More correctly, only races that aren't blatantly inhuman in appearance are allowed, as are things that conceal their inhuman appearance. You're making it out to be more of a restriction than it actually is. Put yourself into the mindset of a xenophobic medieval-esque society in a world where...

Link I just came across this on a browsing of the Gleemax forums, and considering that Fraxus only posted it two hours ago, this is recent news. I know there are many veteran ISRPers around that remember the part she played in the community who may not receive this news. Currently no details...

I believe Apolline's point was that it can be if people would stop intentionally breeding conflict on the boards over issues that cannot be controlled by moderation, particularly ones that may or may not be a justified problem due to nebulous circumstances. Seriously, if people would stop...

Oh, gah. That just reminds me of the old, old, old thread from well before ISRP moved, discussing means of detecting thoughts, and how it works in different systems. What was it? D&D detect thoughts that had potential to fail vs. some Palladium material or other that was basically an...

It can also be completely avoided through the magic of Firefox, which prompts the user about the download of a DOS file. If anyone chooses to download a DOS file when they're expecting a picture, well... you get what you get. :confused: The message being sent from an offline person means that...

There won't be tables. They've stated in several ways that conversions will have to be abstract, since so many classes were "killed" and other classes "took their stuff". That's the 4E motto: Kill it and take its stuff. That, and several of the core PhB classes won't be released until 4E PhB2...

John, allow me to impart an old set of wise words that you may find will come in handy: An eye for an eye will leave the world blind. It will also tend to leave you with few to call friends that can be relied on to interact with you, and tends to be off-putting to those that haven't yet formed...

Call me crazy, but at that point I'd compile a list of his characters that he's used to create this chain of harassment, the player's email address, and a precise time frame on when the harassment occurred, and deliver it to the Magi email. If they don't know that it's a malicious chain of...

No, they reject ideas that are unrealistic for the current situation or unlikely to actually function the way that they may have been intended to function. I mean, they clearly rejected a combat room that allows non-combat roleplaying. And they rejected a Sigil setting, and a Realms setting...

You do know other RPers, right? People that you like to interact with, and get along with, and have similar tastes in common with? Organize something, lead by example, create activity in those locations. More activity will follow more quickly than you would expect. It might take a little bit...

Sheepism and herd-tendencies do not invalidate a rules system. Yes, it is natural to go along with the crowd. However, doing what everyone else is doing, strictly to not be off somewhere alone, accomplishes nothing. It's more of the complaints-without-constructive-suggestions that I've talked...

One, the recent clarifications were brought about because of a single incident that got blown out of proportion by people butting in that had no reason to. I know, because they were pasted to me off-site by one of the players involved. When a situation snowballs like that, it has to be...

Something which I never understood, personally. I always saw the staff tags as a helpful note to those getting acquainted with the site who was in charge and who could lend a hand if they needed pointers. Maybe that was just me. ;)
