At one point in an adventure I hope to run soon, a villain is an undead sorceress who another villain is planning to have possess someone through a ritual that summons the first's spirit into a host body. I have a contingency in place in case this does not happen to a PC. Anyway, even if the...

That's laziness, not complexity. Not that there's anything wrong with laziness, just don't confuse it for complexity. Also, it's probably in your best interests not to tell people to find another game just because they want to house rule an aspect of it to work the way the want it to.

I mostly prune by selling on eBay, there is the occasional messageboard post, but generally eBay.

You get attached to brand new characters?

I'm a fan of death spirals because I have grown tired of systems not being able to handle specific injuries other than as HP loss. There are exceptions for where things like hit points are described in more exact terms "the connection between your spirit and your body", but even in those...

Romeo & Juliet is really about the stupidity of Blood Feuds, the lust suicides are actually the side story. Too bad it took both families losing a child to realize it.

Too many to actually get most of them to play. Just like number of years, I stopped counting number of games a long time ago. Focusing on cutting down to a few core interests, though I wish some previews of PDF games had given me a better idea of the rules before I paid.

I've had people (well, a woman I had a crush on) not get "I feel" statements. Yes, they'll be upset for a while, but a true friend will get over it and not continue being a dick.

I strongly disagree. A true friend will stay with you after you call them out. Any other reaction reveals that they are not a friend.

I long ago stopped talking about "realism" in games and replaced it with "believability". Although a game world may bend the known laws of physics, I except it to act consistently within its own laws of physics, and the ones it doesn't bend don't change. Gravity still exists and works exactly...

I play it both ways, sometimes I have a clear mechanical idea, but not a background one and I let that develop during the game. Other times, I have the solid idea and use the mechanics to build that. Between the two, I'd say it's 70/30 with background first being on the 70 side.

A lot of the animated movies this year have given me ideas of mashups to eventually turn into games to run at conventions. Because I am a fan of ReBoot and have an idea that can connect it to the video game world of Wreck It Ralph, that's the mashup I'm currently working on. Sometimes it stinks...

The worst part of this bad advice? Worst. FONT. Ever.

What cop out did you use? I already told you. The fact that you didn't use it for yourself doesn't matter. In the incident in question, a member of the same group I was once part of, asked a woman "did you really just say LOL? Why don't you just laugh" or something similar. And even though it...

Great, not the "living language" I'm a lazy butt who can't be bothered to speak or write properly cop-out. Yes, languages change, but they should not change because of sloppiness. I have witnessed people being called out for saying L-O-L in real life instead of actually laughing.

After Monty Python, everyone expects the Spanish Inquisition at all times.

Thank you.

This has nothing to do with MMO to tabletop, and is another example of a term I dislike the use of in a particular situation which does not raise my hate flag. In a game about anthropomorphic animals that does not involve humans at all (not now, not before, and not in the future), calling your...

This has only recently started to annoy me. I have seen at least one case of an XP comment getting mod edited for personal attacks. What annoys me is that it seems we have to wait for a mod to see it while people get away with embedding group and personal attacks into XP comments. Giving XP...

Player: blah blah Toon blah blah blah GM: Eh, we aren't playing Toon, Doc.
