Yeah, that's what I meant, my PCs like killing evil stuff like Orcs, they're the evil cannonfodder in D&D too. In fact, I think they were modelled after Tolkiens Orcs, so it's all good to have a little fun slaying orcs.

I just think like Legolas and Gimli, who were competing who kills more in the Helms Deep battle. It seemed to be all fun and games to them, and that's how I play my neutral or good characters. My PCs enjoy a good fight and like to kill evil. And they usually like even more to boast about their...

Thank you. I do my best :cool:

It was a joke.

I won't defend an argument I never made. Somebody just inferred from my earlier post that I would advocate banning such threads. I don't. I just find them a bit juvenile and annoying, at least the latest incarnation. I believe in less moderation, not more. In any case I have the right to...

You quoted only the bashing part of my post and then claim "all I see coming from you.." Not very ingenoius. I also gave the man a suggestion how to fix his game so he didn't have to surrender, and I enlightened people about forum etiquette. So I didn't just bash. You didn't, or I don't...

Naah, I'm not done with ENWorld yet. But when I am, I'm sure to leave behind a couple of "I'm done with.." threads :lol: :p :lol:

If you got all this from a recent I'm done thread, good for you. I just see D&D bashing with no real basis for a good discussion. Take a look: ENWorld is tolerant like that. As a D&D 3E board we embrace D&D 3E bashing. Some boards dedicated for certain games actually ban that. Small game...

That's what most people do. Sometimes a really old thread is resurrected and you see all those familiar names that have long since disappeared from the boards. Apparently most didn't need to write "I'm taking my ball and going home" threads. I'd understand it better if the threads brought...

If switching to a different game equates in some peoples minds to breaking off a relationship .. um, there are bigger problems to deal with than annoying someone with a thread on a geekboard :confused:

Now does this happen only in D&D / much more in D&D than other games, or is it that it's only possible to notice in D&D? Because, you know, D&D is about the only game that establishes an explicit baseline for what PCs of certain competence level should or should not (usually) be able to do. Or...

Why do messageboards have any rules about what kind of threads you can do? Your advice makes forum policies obsolete - just move on if you see something annoying.

I didn't try to imply there's no variation in GURPS - just the opposite actually. Of course you've not seen that exact dwarf I described, because there's a zillion ways to pointwhoring an effective, but by real world standards completely bonkers character. Without strict DM input a group of...

Name an RPG where good player skill (vs. PC skill) doesn't give an advantage.

Or what that leads into: the one-armed hunchback albino dwarf who also 'happens' to be a master of the broadsword, like someone put it. A group of people finds the class system of D&D restrictive. A much smaller sub-group can actually make use of GURPS' 'realistic' character creation system...

A great thread :D Those "I'm done with D&D" threads remind me of childhood when some people always went "I'm taking my toys and going home" if we wouldn't play by their rules. And here again over twenty years later it's about whose rules you're going to use :p I just think it's a bit...

Some of real world mythological beasts are too wack even for D&D. The game with the gelatinous cube :heh:

I'd say it's not murder. It's just honest-to-god fun; kicking in doors, killing things and taking their stuff. Search warrrants, juries, reasonable doubt etc.. are modern concepts that for the most part have no place in my medieval games.

Some DMs feel insecure if players know too much about the campaign world. While an FR besserwisser at the table might make things difficult for the DM, I would be happy if my players spent some time learning the world. After all, they are usually playing PCs who've spent their entire lives in...

Detect evil. "Nope, he's not possessed by the devil".
