Mashup with Durulz in Davokar.

Isn't assigning character sex and gender the antithesis of choice for a player?

Claims of fraudulent transactions don't expire after a couple months. Just depends on the bank. e.g. personal experience: Well's Fargo won't block recent fraudulent transactions, but ING and PNC have both helped out with problematic charges more than a year after the fact. No, it wasn't. Just...

They do have the power to prohibit future projects by delinquent creators. Of course, such creators can always find ways around it, but let's be honest: Kickstarter doesn't care so long as they get their cut. Banks do have the power to reverse funds if they want to. And that would be notable if...

Wouldn't be surprised that spending money not on a funded project has been their day job for a while now. Even the worst of the funded-but-failed KS campaigns pale in comparison to the really epic KS failures like Skarp razor ($4m) or Ouya game console ($8.6m), etc.

Hm. I wonder why that is?

Isn't drinking too much and getting Taco Bell at midnight the perfect bait to kill a vampire? :unsure: Vampire lives a thousand years until they chomp a human after midnight at a Taco Bell... :sick: One final and fatal regret for the neckbiter.

Only three or four games have wowed me--especially after playing them. Shadowrun first edition was wow-inspiring to look at, but groan- & cringe-inducing to play. Noumenon is a really, really WoW! game idea. But it requires complete buy-in by everyone, or it doesn't work; I've wanted to use the...

About the same measure of our feelings about Lex Occultum. Great setting and art. Poor writing and uninspiring system.

Having worked with--after having been one--refugees of genocide who are often targets of human trafficking, I have to say that these two claims are severely antithetical to each other. And, in my experience, non-existent in combination. Perhaps you failed in your training. Regardless, you...

As a friend of mine says, I don't have a dog in this hunt. They also say: How you do Anything is how you do Everything. Which I personally argue against but believe to be true. Of the several dozen rpgs I have played or run, none of them have been any variation of D&D. I first heard of Stone &...

The Coriolis ks came along at a time when we were suffering a periodic bout of rpg-burnout. We’d recently moved and our long-term group was broken up. Didn’t feel comfortable with a couple of groups we tried in our new location. Saw the ks for this and the husband told me one morning he had been...

Just told the husband he's been playing rpgs for almost 45 years (Thanksgiving weekend 1977 was his introduction to Traveller). He :rolleyes: at me.

Definitely derailing.

We have found that Free League has become a company of style over substance.

No need to rationalize fiction. Literature--perhaps especially collective story-telling through role-play--allows the exploration of ideas and actions in a relatively safe manner than would be unpleasant, hazardous, or even fatal to do so in actuality. Not that rationalization isn't a key...

I first played (CoC) in my late teens in East Germany, but didn't really start frequent gaming until the winter of '92-'93 in Yugoslavia (T2k). But since neither of those countries exist anymore, does that mean my experience might be mythical as well? Our immediate gaming group has a couple of...

They have the one needed for the story being collectively told. Few of the NPCs I run in my game hold my cultural beliefs. Fictional characters very much do have their own cultural perspectives, regardless of critics who insist they are all the foils or variations of their author. Ideas...

Nope. They represent their own perspectives and cultures. A great aspect of role-playing is that it allows me step beyond my own dissonant perspectives and mestiza of cultural narratives.
