    Another "blame it on D&D" story

    People hate taking responsibility for their own actions, scapegoating is a favorite past time, and being right is serious business. If there is no incentive to, however small or large, people just won't. Makes me sad to be a human being. It doesn't have to be that way, but overall human beings...

    An Experiment I'd like to See Comics Do

    Since a trend in the media seems to be turn a minor or supporting character into a black person, this is the idea I've come up with. (Nick Fury, Wilson Fisk for example). This is a serious idea. What I'd like to do to create a line of comics which feature the main comic book characters, such...

    Age

    Ring of regeneration. I've always felt that one of the fringe benefits to having the regeneration power is because that regeneration would prevent the body from decaying. Regeneration rebuilds the body and prevents decay of thing slike cells and tissue and bones. However, I'm not sure if it...

    The Ways To Describe Conventions Without Metagame Thinking Thread

    This is an idea I've been working on. The idea of this thread is to encourage people to start thinking in non metagame conventions. Here's what I mean. A sword has a plus two bonus to attack and damage. That is metagaming. People don't think that way. Only rpgers would think in such a manner...

    Uh, no thanks, I'll play this instead.

    I never play Diplomacy any more. The first time we played it my friends and I reach a stalemate and the game lasted for four days, two of them straight without any sleep. So I said to hell with it and just let one of them take over a country so the game can end. They were really peeved at me for...

    Hero System Vs. Mutants & Masterminds. Which is the better super-hero game?

    Except that in First Flight, he moves two moons to smash the ultimate weapon that is destroying OA. This is the Hal Jordan GL. But he did so only after merging with the core energy in the main power battery somehow. If you ever want to have a non hostile discussion in a non combative way...

    The Profession skill?

    I've never understood the Profession skill. What is its use and effect in the game? I often wonder if it's one of the most useless skills in the d20 game.

    I thought it said more dead horses.

    Hero System Vs. Mutants & Masterminds. Which is the better super-hero game?

    Except the pattern for the Paragon saves are: Toughness & Fortitude: +12 Reflex: +6 Willpower: +8 Which bears out his basic point that generally you have a higher save than all the rest. Willpower is pretty high, but still much lower than his highest saves. So I don't get your point. When...

    What is Chick Lit?

    Good examples are Jewel Of The Nile and Romancing The Stone.

    Stories on people going crazy

    Another Lovecraft story I'd recommend is "The Shadows Over Innsmouth". Also, it there is an audio book with which you can hear it being read by Donald Sutherland on You Tube.

    Campaigns in a nutshell. Adventures in a sentence.

    The Great Shoe Event. Some people call it a curse from the gods, but for whatever reason on that fateful day, all shoes across the the entire world fall apart. From that point forward, the Great Shoe Curse has begun and nobody can wear a shoe of any type, whether it be a sandal, a boot, or a...

    Hero System Vs. Mutants & Masterminds. Which is the better super-hero game?

    . I'm a min/maxer. I try to get the best advantage possible. When it comes to M&M I try to max out my saves. There are four saves, Toughness, Reflex, Fortitude, and Willpower. The maximum save for Toughness is equal to PL, and the maximum saves for the other three are PL plus 5. So, at PL 10...

    Subjectivity, Objectivity, and One True Wayism in RPGs

    Sure you can. Those who control the language controls the world. It's all in the language and how one defines things. The number 4 can exist. But 2 + 2 = 4 just do not. So those can still be just 4 apples without the 2 + 2. There is just no evidence to support the 2 plus 2. Simply because I do...

    Subjectivity, Objectivity, and One True Wayism in RPGs

    So you say. But just like you I make my own reality. I refuse to accept that 2 + 2 = 4. It just does not exist because I do not want it to. Just like you and gravity. 2 + 2 = 4 is just a series of failed theories, one after the other, for as long as humanity has been counting. We all make our...
