I believe it is highly improbable any apocalyptic event in the close future as we stand today. So perhaps a huge comet passes and disturbs earth's climate to apocalyptic proportions for civilization or something like that. But then again the game should rather be named "year of the comet".

People need to understand the context of who they are and what they are doing or what they can do in the game world: their position and role in the game world. It seems 4e combat roles of 4e combat were not enough for this -or the tremendous focus on them even distracting.

I think Wotc announced-acknowledged to public that virtual tabletop will be no more -I have read something like this around here. Also it seems more day by day that the D&D hardcore market for the life cycle of 4e will be a divide among 4e and Pathfinder of Paizo. No thriving third party...

hehe no, really, this sounds reasonable to me :)

Seems HeroQuest is now a generic storytelling rpg system You can read about it here: Darran Sims

I understand what's up for you as you are saying it here. To me this would be a game I play with a group of friends. Perhaps a game on a fantasy theme or whatever theme it happens to be about. And this should usually be a game where the goal of game mastery is relevant. But it will not be a...

Cause it is a fact I can not socialize with other people as a plant or a different animal or someone that it is not me. No one can really do this I believe. I can socialize as myself, imagining to have certain problems and capabilities to do or achieve things, I, as myself, would want to solve...

With D&D you just imagine ways to interact with the world and solve imaginary problems. You do not imagine how a plant feels. And I can always choose to let my character die and not give into the game. Not understanding adventuring motivation means not giving a damn what happens to a...

I think this post wins the thread.

But this medium lies always in your head. It is what you can make out of it. You can't roleplay something you do not know or understand. This is up to the setting-adventure to convince you. Monsters are coming and you need to defend yourselves otherwise risk worse fate or reputation. Generally...

Spore is a video game where you have some options or choices to develop a race in a certain environment where other races may be present. It is supposed to work like it could work in the real world. Biology and stuff. Now, I do not believe D&D is accustomed to something like this. And I have...

Eh...no? Why are you saying this? To quote myself from some post above I consider roleplaying to be the game where: "You assume roles with your time-for example someone who is in the middle of a combat trying to kill monsters or save his friends. And the game rules direct-guide you here. For...

Eh...haven't you be paying attention? I tried in a number of posts. I really do not believe it is a good idea to try to play spore (along) with D&D -or just any tabletop rpg.

And I am saying that it is not feasible to have valid reasons for such a different style with a game like D&D. You could disagree of course -you are in fact- and no one has the authority to settle this one way or another. :) They are not supposed to come into conflict- if you come to a...

What you can do with this is roleplay a character that does this: tries to act like someone else. No, the point is not to try to do things that are not feasible. The point is to be with your friends in an exciting situation: the fact that you live this situation along with them. The rules of...

No roleplaying game does this really IMO. You assume roles with your time-for example someone who is in the middle of a combat trying to kill monsters or save his friends. And the game rules direct-guide you here. For example if you die you are out of the game -the game ends. See post above.

No. I am saying that an unbreakable and unavoidable part of the unique character you are roleplaying is yourself since this is a social game and you have to put yourself in the social group. This means that you can not roleplay "something" that is different, that has a different nature of...

But I fail to see any different consideration than this one in D&D. You really do not need D&D to study the physiology and psychology of wolves or dragons or plants or gelationous cubes. Let aside the fictional nature of some of these creatures which makes it unreasonable -unless what you are...

I am just saying that people are not really roleplaying different races in D&D. Players can only be themselves in the situation the game's fluff and their gaming group's dynamics put them into. Having the powers that the "elf" kit and their "class" kit provides does not mean that you can get to...

The time your wife or children need to learn is always a function of the variable that measures their needs and the structure of the database to satisfy them as directly as possible. For each individual there is one ideal structure, and it is different for anyone else, but generally education...
