Nobody is ever going to meet your standards. You are unwilling to compromise, and you don't care who you hurt in the process. Now tell me, if you met someone like you, and were on the outside looking in, how would you feel about that person? I don't know what else to say, then. Enjoy being...

It's not a zero-sum proposition, Ken. If you continue like this, it's only going to get worse. I just hope you wise up before you've burned too many bridges to come back.

Read what I'm saying. I'm saying you're not even by a longshot. You are hurting them worse than they are hurting you. Now, perhaps they're better equipped for being hurt that way. Perhaps they're not. Are you willing to live with the consequences if they're not?

Then you are likely causing hurt disproportionate to the hurt you feel. How do you feel about that possibility? You don't exist in a vacuum.

You are making missing the point an Olympic-grade sport in this thread.

Everyone will lie to you sooner or later. Everyone. Even your mother. The sooner you accept this, the sooner the healing can begin.

It's pretty easy to understand. There's no such thing as self-help, you see. After all, how can you help yourself when your thinking is sick? Ken's thinking is sick. I don't mean this as an insult, either. I also don't think it's because of the Asperger's. He clearly has many issues that are...

It strikes me just as something that keeps you within your comfort level. The trouble being you're over-rationalizing it, and it keeps you from meeting new people and having friends. Life is risk, Ken. If you're not willing to risk yourself in these situations, why do you expect other people...

This is getting to be a broken record.

As has been asked above repeatedly, if you're admittedly not good at reading people why do you insist on trusting your instincts on this particular thing?

I tend not to use alignment at all, but when I do I tend to use the Ravenloft books as good indicators as to what is and is not an evil act, and the severity of the consequences. Evil acts in the heat of anger can be atoned for more easily than premeditated acts. If your Neutral Good character...

This is the classic social fallacy of people who aren't even trying. If you feel someone has to take the effort to know you in order to be worthwhile, remember this goes both ways. Asperger's is not a crutch. It's certainly good to be aware that you have it, but don't use it to rationalize...

Latter-Day Saints?

In one of the little pet settings I tinker with, I run a combination of bloodlines/sold your soul/cursed. The gist of it is that a long time ago the patriarchs of various families entered into blood pacts with demons to gain magical power. These families now have various taboos that represent...

I've never been able to wrap my head around deityless clerics, but that's just me.

Sorcerers have a lot of potential for different plot reasons to have their powers. For example:You're part of a bloodline - Someone in your family tree bumped uglies with one of the stranger denizens of your campaign world. They've made a mint off of it in the meantime, and if you hadn't shown...

It's the 1800s. Never bring a sword to a gunfight :p

I would go with Mark on this one. Characterful, plus provides a useful basis for character advancement that is distinct from your generic hired killer.

"Man, this is the way to travel," said my cohort. He leaned over to grab one of the campestri, hairy knuckles wrapping around the wriggling spotted mushroom. We had been teaching them inappropriate tavern jingles to amuse ourselves, and our efforts bore fruit as the poor little bastard broke...

It was almost noon, and we still had hundreds of yards to go. They would be tough yards. Very soon, I knew, we would both be completely twisted. But there was no going back, and no time to rest. We would have to ride it out. Gathering for the renowned Wizards' Duel and Chili Cookoff was already...
