Yes, but D&D only gave you experience points for looting and killing. That's it. There were no rewards for accomplishing the goal of getting a specific item or defeating a specific villain as a goal award as opposed to a defeat award. The difference between a defeat award and goal award is that...

So I'm playing Champions On Line and I destroy an Infected Bigfoot. He drops some loot. So I pick it up and it says: Accelerated Life Support Artillery. Oh, the irony in that phrase. :lol:

There's a world outside the dungeon? Nobody ever tells me these things. :p

If she was a former non-commissioned officer in the military before she left she'd be a nuncom.

Being right is serious business.

That would make her a nun the less.

Here's what I mean. Do you play a pure game setting or do you mix them? Here's an example, Palladium has the Robotech RPG. It also has Heroes Unlimited RPG. A long time ago I ran a mixed game in which the PCs were actually mutants who served aboard a cruiser in that universe. So do you mix...

Just wait until she shouts LEROY JENKINS and starts pillaging you. :devil:

I wasn't calling anybody on anything. The guy just wasn't certain of the rule but I was and confirmed it for him. Just remember, however, internet culture demands that being right is serious business. At least for most posters. And actually, it's serious business in real life too.

Leroy Jenkins?! LEROY JERNKINS! I can just see it now! The Terminator in the two movies yelling LERRRRRROOOOOOOOY JENKINS as he guns down all those cops! Hey, this has potential to insert the shouting of Leroy Jenkins in famous movie scenes!

Basic D&D did indeed gave you experience for gold at a rate of 1 to 1. 1st Edition gave you xp for finding magic items but not gold.

I think that kid is Aaron who will replace Jacob. I think this was hinted at early on because of the insistence of Claire keeping him with her. I think that somehow he managed to make it to the island and because of his age did some time hopping himself. After all, he looks like he's roughly...

So what does this have to do with the topic of the post about Dungeons and Dragons being all about pillaging and killing? That is an entirely different subject with which you should start an entirely different thread. By the way, I say killing because murder is really a relative term. It is...

No, being right is serious business. And as for me, I'm not really interested in learning new rpg systems anymore. I've been playing since 1980 and am just frustrated that once you learn the official rules it all has to change again because some people aren't satisfied with them and have to make...

Hmmmm... I'd think the modules that dealt with The Time Of Troubles in the Forgotten Realms would provide some inspiration. This is from 2e. Essentially the gods were kicked out of their realm. Some of them tried to return. Here's the Wiki on it if you're interested: Time of Troubles - The...

Regarding the infection... I wonder if the smoke being has anything to do with it. He might even be the reason why children can't really be born on the island.

Thanks, but I'm not really thinking heavy load. I believe they are different things in the two games as well. But the point still stands.

I really don't find that nerd rage comment humorous. It isn't nerd rage when the rage at being scapegoated is happening and people are demonizing you just because you like something that is not considered to be normal among mainstream society. It's very legitimate rage. Nerd rage isn't really...

When a Nun is having drinks in a bar she is a Bar Nun. When a Nun is flying to another country in a jet at fifty thousand feet you have a Nun of the above. :devil:

I think what's confusing people here is that D&D is a level progressing system, which M&M is not. They both use levels to describe how powerful a character is, but remember, a 10th level Sorcerer is going to be very different than a PL 10 MAge in M&M. Also in regards to the differences, in M&M...
