You're missing the point... Oral sex. Dexerity + Linguistics anyone?

No, because the physical activity is abstracted at the game table. The physical world game world is divorced from that of the real world. I do not feel this should be the case w/ social skills at my game table because a lack of social skills directly affects my enjoyment.

The role-playing game table is not an apporiate venue for most physical activities. Therefore, said activities can and should be abstracted in said venue. Furthermore, such a system would significantly limit the enjoyment of physically impaired parties and it is much easier to make the game...

Are these questions rhetorical? Are you actually interested in my response?

(Mainly directed at Storm Raven) I should further mention that role-playing (in the broad sense, not limited to gaming) has been a significant, positive, force in my life. When I was in high school, I was a member of our Model United Nations team and I adopted the views and thoughts of...

I'm a little unsure how to respond here. Suffice to say, I don't need to put up with any problems players in any of my games and I am privileged to game with experienced gamers, all of whom enjoy role-playing. My gaming groups fit me and my boisterous role-playing perfectly. I probably would...

I find it interesting that nearily all of the drug rules (esp the BoVD for D&D) have a net-negitive effect on the drug taker. Some of these negitive effects seems significantly over powered.

(When relating to the focus of role-playing in D&D compared w/ other games) I think you hit the nail on the head there, Lost Soul. The other, regular game I play usually uses the White-Wolf "d10" system. I probably see more role-playing there then in my D&D game in part because the WW system...

I think you are looking at my statement in the wrong manner, Lost Soul. Li Shenron said: My post was a response that statement. I find it some what weird to think that people involved in the hobby for several years suddenly decided to role-play less, given that the hobby itself is...

OK, you're going to need to back that one up. Are you saying that mature, experienced role-players have decided to role-play less? That seems pretty ridiculous. If you said that new players, coming into the hobby, are role-playing less than ones more familar with the game, then I could buy it.

Sure... Because getting hyper and being on edge if you don't have it every 2 hours makes High Fantasy so much more believable than getting a little hazy, a little sleepy, and having a sudden desire to go to a woodworking class.

Interesting bunch of responses. I am surprised at the number of people who answered yes. Personally, I answered "No, but we haven't considered or discussed it," when relating to the D&D group I am in. For the other, Exalted / Adventure / HoL group I plan in, well, drugs are a must in those...

I'm just curious. I can't imagine anyone charging a dragon w/o being a little brain-damaged. Alcohol is a given, I think.

Mark Rein-Hagan and Robert Anton Wilson as primary designers And then I would have Grant Morrison and Alan Moore design the magic system

A good strategy game example might be Warhammer or Mechwarrior. I don't have a huge problem w/ people using the bluff rules for the most part. For one thing, it can help newbies play a character with a dynamic personality w/o knowing exactly how to roleplay (but you have to teach them at the...

Excellent point, Icy. I wish my DM committed himself to a more "GM fiats" rather than let stuff bog down by looking in the rule book.

Interestingly, the DM has adapted a 1st edition adventure (Temple of Elemental Evil) for a 3e game. If you are at all familar w/ this adventure, I think you'll recall that just about anything you bump into down there is fair game for your paladin to pummel. Since we have little interaction w/...

Last night, my DM made the comment that third edition makes D&D a strategy game, so I asked him what it was before 3e, and he said it was a role-playing game. Previous DMs have made similar comments, stating that 3e is designed to be easily functional with computer games. Now, I submit to your...

I voted "no" because the WoD d10 system is just fine the way it is now. I don't think either my D&D or my White Wolf groups would use a WoD d20 system. Plus, there is a LOT of content in the d10 system. Not just WoD, but also Exalted, Aeon/Trinity, Adventure, Aberrant, Ars Magica, etc, not to...

Keep in min that horrid whilting has a Fort save, not Reflex, so the rogues and monk will take damage if hit from it.
