    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    DELETED BY REL Ya, I think that last paragraph gets a little close to the “religious” area of do’s and do nots on EN so I won’t go any further out of respect. I have met a few dozen gamers in the last twenty odd years- none of them worshiped Satan or made sacrifices to any Gods, and never...

    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    It is, to that you are right, but somethings are evil completely and without question. My post might be read that I think its evil, but I do not. Things happened that I can not talk about, those things happened, and they were evil. Why did I make booze seem that I think its evil? Because I...

    how to convince people that D&D is not evil

    Let them figure it out. Hand them every gaming book that you have and have them read them then ask- “where in those books does it encourage evil acts?” Consider pointing out the Core Classes- “which one of these says that you must Play the character as Evil? In fact there are more Core Good...

    This [annoys me somewhat]

    <giggling> "-small world, it's a small world after all, its a small-" G'AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! I had to leave Florida cause of that dammed song! I was once a nice, considerate, kind person then I heard that song and I went nuts/crazy/insane. <giggling>

    How Do You Explain D&D To Non-Gamers?

    Closet gamer here <hand raised>. When I have to explain usually I start with explaining that gaming is about taking imaginary people, people you put on paper so your fellow gamers can understand them, you create a personality, a person called “a GM- that means Game Master, they are kind of the...

    D&D 4E MERGED - 4E News complaint threads; please don't start another

    I am so frackin' sick of the whole 4e thing. Its like the little kid that won't shut up about the toy he just can't live without. And what bugs me the most is that when it shows there will be those on EN going "what about 4.5e? When's it gonna show?" Makes me want to rant more and more in...

    So, you roll 6 18's.

    To the GM- "is this gonna be okay with you? I mean you saw me do it, but will it screw up the campaign?" GM- "I saw it, and it works for the campaign." My typical question- "So what is everyone else playing?" If its a new game and its Core only. Cleric with War domain. Pretty slim chances...

    Real Thieves Loose at GenCon

    Cut a finger off the offender when caught the first time, a hand the second and the head the third and you will reduce the number of thieves out there. Ya, I am harsh; I hate criminals. :] What ante yours, don't belong to you, leave it the hell alone. Sorry for your son's hurt feelings...

    Help me staff a Keep

    Couple random thoughts (hope this helps)- Grizlin- Fighter8/Noble3- Tired of fighting Griz took his adventuring horde and retired. Now broke he seeks work, finds the son of an old friend and settles in to tend this young servant of Moradin. He’s loyal, considerate, fair, and capable. Bonly...

    Eye Surgery: Myths and Legends?

    The wife did it, it kinda lessened her night vision, but she is very happy to have gone through it and would not go back. Note that it is gonna take a few days to get your visual accuity back, but it should be fine. Oh, and from what I hear you might want to wait just one more year to see how...

    So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

    I copy all of that. Though I disagree on the human to cat perspective. Cats are adventurous, explorer's, etc. (I realize you more then likes know this). When I see Myth sitting at the door wanting to go out he will go out about 20% of the time (I rarely "throw" him or his "sister" out). It...

    Me- "my character has a 20 Int, 16 Wis, every Knowledge skill at skill of 8 minunum, with most of them being over 12, and more then a couple at above 18. I do not recall the Bible being used in any of the religions on my characters home world. Sorry if I am not getting the puzzle, but it just...

    4th ed -- yeah, but are you actually ready to leave behind the 3rd?

    Couple reasons why I will not be updating to 4e- - Expense- I can't justify nor can I afford to switch. - Updating to 4e is just corperate money grabbing - Our group is pretty happy with the present house rules and things that better a 3e to 3.5e game. - Not so sure that I will be gaming in...

    "You all meet in a tavern..."

    Writing up a back story and sharing it with those that know or rather should know is how I usually do it. Riders of the Axe started in Sunless- three Half Elves see an old friend (Gnome bard) who sees a group of friends- Dwarves come in. He introduces and we all sit and have a meal, then...

    Dish Network- my experience with them

    Now its getting personal. For the last few days we have been getting calls, no body on the other end so I think its stupid people calling the local Safeway (our prefix is one digit off). Yesterday my wife (who never answers the house phone- she screens calls) answers the phone so it won't wake...

    So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

    Okay, I hear you Vraille. :\ The wife suggested something when I told her of your plight- chicken wire in the garden, cut it in half, then cut half circles in the edges, bury about a quarter or half an inch and let the cats try to dig through that. She said that they would not, though...

    No 4th Edition

    Wait if we are all imaginatary then who imagined us if not me then, cause I know I am real, but I don’t know if you are? In the words of one of my characters- “oh, Asphalt head hurt, not more philosophy talk, he no like.”

    So Mad Can't See (Update 09/10; Victory!)

    Couple of thoughts (hoping to help) First off I recall the thread and as I did then express my concerns that you and yours are taken care of while maintaining the welfare of the animals. I know you are mad and you have every right to be, the animals that are not your responsibility are making...

    Stargate Command is Closing Its Doors

    The US Government never ceases to amaze me with their lack of foresight and low level of intelligence. I suppose that in a few years they will realize their mistake and go and build another facility like NORAD at a cost of hundreds of billions of tax payer dollars.

    D&D Movie: Wrath of the Dragon God

    It was a fair B movie though I expected some narration- “dude, its your turn to roll for to hit, just bring the soda in here!” or something like that. Would have been a better movie if they had done that a couple times.
