    Dragon's Prison editorial: an interesting fact

    Sure. Johnny Wilson, the Group Publisher of Dragon wrote in his editorial about a situation that happened about 20 years ago. (Remember, this was the height of the anti-D&D movement... Christian fundamentalists saw gaming as Satan's biggest influence on America's youth, far worse than drugs or...

    Dragon's Prison editorial: an interesting fact

    I just got my copy of Dragon in the mail, and having read the discussion about the editorial previously, I wanted to read the actual editorial and see what the hubbub was about. But I found the first two paragraphs much more interesting than the later prison related information. I showed it to...

    [OT] Do you subscribe to any conspiracy theories?

    You misunderstand: The people who named it "Philadelphia" could have been completely different people from the secret society. I'm not saying that the Masons named it. However, the secret society could have specifically chosen to perform their ritual creation of a new nation in a city whose...

    [OT] Do you subscribe to any conspiracy theories?

    Just because the Greek definition doesn't match the Latin one, it doesn't totally throw this theory out the window. Secret societies like the Freemasons often have multiple levels of meaning in everything they do... while the city of Philadelphia may have been named after the Egyptian city, that...

    [OT] Hero System Fifth Ed Review

    If you are talking about your standard HERO characters (which are about equal to 8th level characters in D&D), then you can't do it in D&D either... (It would be cake to do that in HERO w/ 25 pt normals: effectively 1st level characters) [B] If you have pre-written spells for HERO like D&D...

    What the heck is an otherkin?

    I found this in an article from The Village Voice linked to what was listed earlier, and it was just too funny to pass up. Talking about the Changeling: The Dreaming game: No comment. Doc

    What the heck is an otherkin?

    After perusing that website, I am now offended for my Wiccan friends for them to have been put in the same sentence as these "special people". I didn't realize that people who LARP and play too much "Changeling:The Dreaming" were their own species... Doc EDIT: I went back and did a more...

    What the heck is an otherkin?

    Just before the Problem Player thread got closed, I asked the innocent question "What the heck is an otherkin?" Can anyone answer me in a non-offensive, non-thread-being-closed kinda way? Doc

    Problem Player

    Now I consider myself a really worldly person, and I've got a bunch of friends who are wiccan/witches... But what the heck is an otherkin? Never heard of those... Doc

    Didn't I just say that?

    [OT] Buffy - Spoilers within

    I haven't had a chance to sit down and chat with my buddy Danny Strong lately (he and I went to high school together, and we see each other every now and again for dinner), so I don't know the exact details, but from being an avid Buffy fan, I doubt that this is the case. If anything, Jonathan...

    Website with feat reviews?

    I know it's out there, but I guess I forgot to bookmark it. Anyone have the url of the site which lists all of the published feats, and checks to see if they are balanced? Doc

    What's your favorite local game store?

    As for the Bay Area, I'll put in another vote in for Gamescape on Divisadero in S.F. During my school years at SFSU, this was the *best* games store in the city, and I always stop in every time I'm in town. It doesn't hurt that Comix Experience, the best comics store in the city, if not the...

    [OT] My first catalog request from Death Row

    A friend of mine told me that his time in the pokey was spent making dice for gambling out of a combination of toothpaste and toiletpaper. Apparently a well crafted pair is worth quite a bit on the black market. Doc

    [OT] Justice League -- Lord Hades is a Dwarf?

    Not to mention Guy Gardner, as well as a whole host of non-human types (but these five are the most well known, as well as being based on Earth). Just for the record, Alan Scott, the Golden Age Green Lantern, is not a member of the same intergalactic police force, like the others. (That notion...
