Stupidity? I think not. Sometimes placing things in terms of real-world characters puts a real perspective on things. The same way a great show like Battlestar Galactica uses themes from real-world conflicts, using real world characters paints a more vivid picture. Sorry if Hitler is THE modern...

Well in a role-playing game, the rules are used to adjudicate situations that require rules. When no rule is needed, you are still playing the game. The rules, existing as a scaffold upon which you lay the the mechanical elements of the story, actions, events, etc. and are there for when you...

A simpleminded understanding of the idea of balance as a balance of good vs. evil as opposed to a more thoughtful approach such as the balance such as that of order vs. entropy (not as moral values but as relative states) has led to some ridiculousness as well. If I remember correctly...

Combat 70% of play!?!?! Sometimes I wonder if I have been DMing D&D at all for all these years. :confused: I suppose this is what I most dread about what I am inferring about 4e's design decisions. Combat is all and if that is the way the game is meant to be played I would argue in favor of...

I think that tieflings are going to be largely acceptable in places where many like myself feel they should have no such acceptance is because of how D&D has handled demons/devils for years. For years D&D has characterized demons and devil as nothing more than mosters than hail from somewhere...

Once 3e hit, every setting got its own cosmology and was no longer uncomfortably shoehorned into some giant, wierd metasetting that had no rhyme or reason whatsover other than a metagame vision of alignment taken from D&D's earliest days. Settings like Dragonlance and Dark Sun which were both...

The Law and Chaos axis of D&D is nothing more than Gygax's misinterpretation of Michael Moorcock's "alignment" system. In Moorcock's work there is no cosmological good or evil, there is onlhy law and chaos which, when in balance work out toward the good of all but when out of balance are...

THAT WAS 3.0 BABY!!! That was yo' grandmamma's D&D This is the Muther F*&#%n, in yo' face, D&D turned all the way up, blowing out yo' mind Jackie Chan meets Conan meets the X-men meets Inuysha D&D, all action all the time D&D where nuthin' exists that doesn't scream I'm gonna kick you pu&%y...

Check this video out...it is hilarious. :lol: Gamer Video Again confirming that the game is best when viewed from deep in the imagination. Wyrmshadows

However in a world were devils, demons and other supernatural horrors aren't merely the province of ignorant supersitition but are terrifyingly real, there is no such thing as being born with demonic characteristics and it being "no big deal, Jimmy has some little horns, smouldering red eyes and...

Ah and what a lovey mixed-race brazilian she is. Is ti just me or a lot of Brazilian women gorgeous? Oh well....back to the purpose of this post. I have a cousin whose mother is African American (with a bit of Caucasian and Native American) and whose father is pure Irish and the little girl...

Magical weapons provide the suspension of disbelief required to allow for a sword to cleave into a stone golem. In fantasy fiction enchanted blades are described as supremely sharp and capable of cutting into damn near anything. Its not the skill of the wielder that makes a sword cut through...

"Yeaahhh!!! My rogue just sneak attacked the fire elemental and did triple damage. I swung my dagger so fast behind his back that I snuffed him out!! Huzzah!!" "Wow! I just finished off the stone golem by striking its vitals. Fighter, I know that you were hitting it all over and made some...

That butt-ugly beast on the PHB certainly is not a dragonborn. Its definately a tiefling. Yeah in the old days we'd call something with that much demon it is a cambion...literally a half-demon. That monstrosity wouldn't be able to set foot in most civilized regions of any of the published...

I love this picture myself. Its from Fantasy Flight's Midnight Line of products. Great picture on an even better boxed set. Wyrmshadows.

I see plenty of fantasy art where people aren't necessarily doing anything. This doesn't mean that she looks like a pin-up or softcore porn model. I think you are speaking in hyperbole here. Lipstick sure, ok you see that but I cannnot see other makeup. I don't see eyeliner, blush, or anything...

I think all of Klaus's art is fine for a RPing game. I really like pic #1. I like picture #1 because I can imagine a forest dwelling woman who (when its warm enough) wears some gear like this. These are real life warriors who wore less than this. Amazonian Indians, some African tribesmen, some...

Well as long as some of them do. Ok, maybe we've moved beyond armor that only covers nipples, buttockses and vajayjays (that word amuses me) but lets not be too hypersensitive. Some women warriors are going to be curvy. After a hard day of kicken arse and taking names a lady's gotta eat. Not...

I agree. Not only too many gems, but big, gaudy, glassy gems. No facets to any of them. They look like junk jewelry. But enough about Clyde....I don't want to derail the thread entirely. Wyrmshadows
