Clearly, they prefer cheap liquor.

Is there a possibility you forgot what board you were posting to, and posted this stuff to EN World by mistake?

Pretty much. "Here is the new FR canon" can be pretty annoying if it impinges on your gaming. On the other hand, it's hard to get mad about, "Here's some ideas you could use, if you want. Look! A map! You like maps, don't you?" Usually it's the combination of creeping metaplot, miniscule...

Sometimes I have bad dreams about WotC buying up Paizo, lock, stock, and barrel, then rereleasing Pathfinder as 5e with new art and tieflings and dragonborn as core races.

I would hope you would be more careful? ... I don't think the Listen rules can really take into account being a dumbass. I thought of another wrinkle; while we usually think in terms of seeing and hearing being separate, they really aren't. It's actually impossible to absolutely locate a sound...

I'm not as familiar with the others, but Theatrix at least exists in a space where narrativism is the physics of gameplay. I don't see a counter-example there. No, that is not the point. You can't tell a moral story in a world that does not answer questions.

If you're playing Toon, you bet. If you are simulating an absurd genre, you encourage absurdity. Why wouldn't I simply classify Wushu as a game that emulates a crazy, action-packed genre, and provides in-game incentives to promote the feel of an over-the-top action story? I say if there's no...

I'll tell you what. :) Let's assume the narrative is consistent. The Gamist would like the world to "make sense" in order for actions to be meanginful. If this is achieved, Gamism converges with Simulationism, as the world perfectly represents the sort of world in which Gamist agendas are...

I posit that such disagreements are not about agendas, but about the perceived meaning of the text. One example, "pickpocketing the King is cool" versus "pickpocketing the King is stupid." In this case I would expect double vision; there are several distinct priorities which make the action...

The question is, What is the substance of their agreement? What is the worth of their idea? When an in-group comes to believe that their limited perspective represents the justification of an issue, it's called dominant privilege. In this case, the impression generated is that this person and...

These "best shows," are they live streaming videos of adventure baths, or what?

From before birth, really. Even in utero, people ascribe different characteristics to jiggling fetuses based on their beliefs as to the future child's gender. Presumably, even a blastosphere can be a princess, or Daddy's Little Man.

Something has occured in the last couple of posts that is stretching the terms of the debate. What I was saying was that tolerated behavior can lead to that behavior actually being accepted and justified. I wasn't using "acceptable" as a euphemism for moral or legal.

So where do you stand on the dehumanizing destruction of self-esteem in little girls? Absolutely acceptable, or not acceptable? We are not arguing about the abstract right to say things which might be offensive; I am a strong proponent of free speech. I am specifically saying this guy makes...

What the poo-poo-pa-doo??? Ya know, I just checked the calendar and it's not April 1st, so I guess this must be real. Yikes. At least we got one good thing out of this: a striking and easily understood example of the intimate connection between casual, polite -isms and the nastier kind, as both...

Lone Star Comics is alive and well in Mesquite. They carry a good games selection, have table space, and so forth.

It's sort of a FATE-y thing, with lots of Marvel Superheroes tropes folded in, like power categories, different damage types, and of course, the named levels sandwiched into more generic suggestions (Feeble, Poor, Typical, Good, anyone?). It's definitely more like the original Marvel...

This is basically my feeling.

3.5 has the advantage when you at a shortsword versus a bastard sword. But if you compare a dagger to a short sword, or a hand axe to a battle axe, a spear to a long spear, 3.0's system looks a little better. I think a spear is probably going to be the thinnest, lightest thing for its length it...

It's not even clear it's realistic. Is there actually such a thing as a Small rapier, or a Large greatsword?
