    Monster Manual 2...super rant!!!

    Testify! Sing it! It's like Wizards is a 500 pound epileptic standing in a glass kittens showroom. Whenever it sneezes there's an avalanche of, "Dear Christ that sucks!" before it even has the chance to pocket its corporate hankey. I must wonder why a group that has collected to discuss the...

    B-but . . . I restrained myself!

    There won't be any. I'd be shocked if what anyone could genuinely call the general populace even knows D&D still exists. To 90% of the world it's like arguing about Pong or Rubick's Cube. Do you realize there's a video game called State of Emergency where you wander through crowded shopping...

    Flame detector reading code yellow. Engaged: Alert! Alert! Vague-yet-present ad hominem class 9! Threat level rising to the red. Get some ice on this, stat. Here's the thing, and I'm genuinely asking this, not tring to wind you up. Are you against dungeon crawls? I mean, are you against the...

    Yes. Now, we've graduated up to merely being intensely ashamed about our hobby :). I did, and it really wasn't that big a deal. If anything, it added to the "street cred". Now that it's not dangerous anymore, you don't get the druggie burnouts playing.

    Far from it, I find myself trying mightily to restrain myself from acting out a banal internet passion play: The admiration-of-an-forum-post snap marriage proposal.

    Let me be obnoxious and answer a question with a question: If you're the type of DM who likes a high magic campaign, why do you need something like the Forgotten Realms? If you want to have a high magic campaign that iss fine, but isn't it possibly to come up with this world on your own as a...

    You know, I could put up a website that has lots and lots of information about how much I despise the Dutch, but that doesn't mean there's an important or significant anti-Dutch movement.

    Mountian Giants in MM2

    Pardon me, but if I flamed, you flamed, no? You made a negative statement of-supposed-fact about the product and you actually haven't had the opportunity to test whether your hypothesis is true. I'll admit to being frustrated at the obligatory, "God this sucks!" threads wriggle out like worms...

    Mountian Giants in MM2

    The book's out -1 days (I still can't find it in stores) and you have already run these monsters in a game as part of a campaign and determined through actual usage that they are an instance of "game-expansion power inflation", whatever that means? Man, you're good.

    Mountian Giants in MM2

    How is it a pain in the ass? How integral is the height to the description of the monster? Just describe it as shorter.

    Monster Manual 2...super rant!!!

    Clearly because they didn't consult you first. I'm sure if you were making all the decisions for them, Hasbro would be purchasing AOL Time Warner at the opening bell on Monday.

    (MM2) WotC violates the OGL...

    Re: Re: (MM2) WotC violates the OGL... So in other words, both of the complaints of the original poster have been rendered null and void. Excellent.

    Indeed. Dungeons & Dragons is irrelevent in today's world. Fussbudgets seeking a public target to demonstrate how forcefully they can declaim their own moral superiority have several much juicier multibillion dollar industries to line up in their crosshairs: music, movies, video games. Video...

    I mostly agree with what you have to say, however: Why is this even out of bounds? Since when is the simple gross-out a horrible, or even immature thing? A grossout isn't necessarily easy to do (different people have different tolerance levels), and it certainly isn't an indication that...

    Ring of Calling, comments please

    I really need feedback on this one: Ring of Calling This is actually a pair of rings, one worn by a suit of armor, one worn by the user. Upon activation (a standard action), the suit of armor that the sister ring is on teleports from wherever it may currently be, and is instantaneously donned...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    One anality deserves another. The very idea of evolutionary advancement is bankrupt. There is no one animal that is more or less evolved than any other. Each animal is as evolved to its environment or niche as any other. Putting things on a chart of increasing complexity or even intelligence...

    Publishers Opinion Of PCGen

    Does anyone else get off on the irony of a publisher of written material has such a poor grasp of simple apostrophe rules? I do hope you hire an outside editor for your "professional" products.

    [OT] Girls who can beat you up

    I'll agree with you here. I'm hesitant to even underline that too much. Still, I think the mean suffering of female action heroes is greater than that of males :). Most male action stars do not suffer overmuch, whereas I'm hard pressed to think of a single female of this archetype who...
