    Losing friends over GAMES...

    I really don't get this. I honestly couldn't be bothered about which game-system we played, as long as I got to play with the people whose company I enjoy. Sure d20 isn't the alpha and omega of rpg-ing. But nothing is. I'm really sorry for you, Hellhound. Especially since you seem open-minded...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    That struck me too. I would think that if that would bother you, you wouldn't take over a game with an existing fandom. Take the LotR movies for example. The people who made these were well aware that existing fans would watch there every move and critsize their every action. But they managed to...

    [WFRP] Hogshead Closes Doors

    Phew, what a read! This somehow reminds me of a column Monte Cook wrote a while ago. In there he stated that for RGS's to appeal to a bigger crowd they would no longer appeal to the the original crowd, since ours is already a niche hobby as Sammael99 stated. (He made an analogy with...

    Slaine d20 Skull Sword stats

    I would have liked to see a prestige class dealing with these guys. (Probably something with a high fortitude save.)

    Anti-LotR

    How can a movie have both -"not enough singing" -"who cares about the fairy stuff" Is it just me? In the books the singing is during the "fairy parts" (sic) Also: Tom Bombadil is the closest thing to a fairy in LotR

    (Slaine) The Invulnerable King?

    Hi, being a bit of a fan an looking for something different, yet still fantasy and after having read ther roaring reviews, I've just bought the main rulebook. But I was wondering about the scenario/campaign. Has anyone seen and read through it yet? Thanks.

    Problems at the gaming table.

    You know, this is a hobby, not a professional activity for which we get paid. Those sessions sound really stressfull to me. One day, you'll find out that your time is waaaaay too precious to spend on situations like this when you should actually be having fun.

    Historical Fantasy

    IIRC, somebody is developing a "historical" setting. 1066? I discovered this way back, when it was listed among the upcoming products on Eric's old site. Anybody who knows more?

    Problems at the gaming table.

    I cannot possibly imagine how a situation like this could develop to become a problem. You're ROLE-playing! Sometimes I play characters that generously spreads the wealth around, sometimes those characters will consider investing in other player's characters, sometimes those characters will...

    hi, im new...

    This one cracked me up! I'm still not quite sure, how 'bout you? Hey, El, tell the nice people where you live, maybe there's a club or a game store in your area where you can get a demo of the game? (Maybe a game with a troll-slayer?:D )

    hi, im new...

    13,14,... Oh my falling God. I envie you for all those great years ahead: virtually no responsibility and endless amounts of time. Sigh... Make the best of it: play more games! Read more books! 10 years from now you'll be fighting to make time for these things. Oh, and welcome to this world of...

    [Way OT] Scientists Find World's Funniest Joke

    Once more, Okay, in a last, probably vain, attemt to salvage what's left of this nation: mother (shouting to her kid who is in his room with some friends): "What are you all doig up there?!" Son: "We're having an orgy!" Mother: "Okay then, I thought you were smoking!" P.S.: if there are...

    [Way OT] Scientists Find World's Funniest Joke

    How??? Well, never mind. The worlds funniest joke didn't really do it for me, nor anybody else I know. Try this one: The other day I saw this farmer spraying this strange orange powder over his crops. Environmentally aware as I am, I go up to his to ask why he's throwing that stuff around...

    [OT] I hate hospitals...

    Hope you're worried over nothing. I know, hospitals can be a drag. Sometimes they seem like factories and forget there are people involved. Whish your dad well from me (us)

    [WoT] Question about cards.

    Maybe they're copyrighted , but it's not like you're stealing business from WotC or Jordan. So unless WotC was planning on releasing something similar for Wot RPG, which they aren't, or somebody else wanted to get a copyright on this, which is highly unlikely as the system is copyrighted, I...

    Hannibal

    Not quite true in my opinion. Hannibal always said the war would never be over so long as the Carthagians haden't sacked Rome. (Though I bet he said it a thad more eloquently.) In his Italian campaign, Hannibal had huge supply problems. Furthermore: by this time Rome ruled the seas, so there was...

    WOTC sold?

    GW has stated on several occasions that it has no interest whatsoever to develop RPG's. So if WOTC was to be sold, you can be pretty sure GW won't be interested.

    GenConUK to GenConEurope?

    Aren't we great? Typical European conversation. It's just like the thread looking for an European ENworld meeting. We were all excited about attending, but everybody wanted it to be near where he lived. I can understand that people in the UK and especially near London would like tot see the...
