    What is your alignment?

    First, that argument is the biggest load of horse-hockey I've ever heard. If someone being an annoying jerk is enough justification for murder, proving a point as justification is no different. Both are meaningless, random killings and it's a nice cop-out to be able to say "I'd kill someone no...

    What is your alignment?

    I don't believe that. I believe you think you would have no moral qualms about shooting the jerk next door for merely annoying you, but if put in the situation I sincerly doubt you would go through with it. Or if you did go through with it, I believe you would instantly regret your actions...

    What is your alignment?

    I disagree. That's Lawful Neutral in my book. Since they are concerned not with morality of action (meaning not caring if it is an evil or a good act) but only with following their orders, that moves them very solidly into the Lawful Neutral territory. Which is why the vast majority of city...

    What is your alignment?

    What does "if I thought it needed doing" mean? Does it mean if you just got tired of the bum on the corner begging for money all the time you'd put a slug in him? Or does it mean if someone assaulted you or a loved one you would defend them, even if it meant killing their attacker? If you...

    What is your alignment?

    Good point. Makes me wonder how many of the so-called "evil" people here would do truly evil things, like rape, murder and torture. And enjoy it. Maybe some would, but I have a hard time believing it, to be honest. I voted Neutral Good for myself. I'm generally one to abide by rules and...

    Nudity in RPG books?

    Well, IMO making a statement that every elf and sorceress in an RPG book looks like a Playboy model is like saying that all dogs illustrated in an RPG book look like purebred blueribbon winners. It's an assumption that goes beyond the so-called standards of beauty to assume 1) that the person...

    Nudity in RPG books?

    Or perhaps I'm just pointing out the absurdity of such a statement... Hunter

    Nudity in RPG books?

    If my facts are incorrect, then Playboy itself is incorrect as they came straight from the official Playboy web site's own Playmate FAQ. Check it out yourself if you do not believe me, though I won't post a link as I don't think it would be appreciated by some. Hunter

    Nudity in RPG books?

    Thank you, thank you. :) Actually, it was just a matter of a Google search for "playboy playmate age, vital statisitics" that led me to the magazine's websites own Playmate FAQ. Hunter

    Nudity in RPG books?

    Notice that I said "Some of it published in gaming books, some of it merely posted on the artists web site", implying that, obviously, some of what I refered to was published and that the unpublished, by my use of the word "merely" didn't carry the same weight. Or maybe it wasn't obvious. :\...

    Nudity in RPG books?

    Lots, actually. Some of it published in gaming books, some of it merely posted on the artists web site. But, as to the approximate age and vital statistics... Well, considering the youngest Playboy Playmate was a few days shy of her 18th birthday when she posed (Elizabeth Ann Roberts, January...

    Romance in RPGs

    In the 25 years I've been running games I've found that if players don't want romance as a part of the game they are in, no amount of encouragment will comvince them to participate. In the end, no matter what your intentions are, if they don't want to add romance you end up forcing it upon...

    Romance in RPGs

    It's been my experience that it is really hard, if not impossible, to force players that aren't interested in in-game romance to take part in it. The primary suggestion I think I would have for you is to poll your players first and find out how interested, if at all, they would be in such a...

    FR Character background help

    First thing that came to mind after reading your background were the Gurs (analogous to gypsies). They speak an ancient dialect of Rashemi, with Rasheman being the Forgotten Realms' Russian-type culture. The Gurs are descended from the Rashemi people, but few live in Rasheman anymore, with...

    Has Anyone ever played a Doppelganger?

    Way back in the first years of 2e one of my players was playing a human necromancer. The necromancer got captured by the bad guy and replaced with a doppleganger and I allowed the player to continue to play, now as the doppleganger impersonating his character. The doppleganger was with the...

    How do you use pre-made campaign settings?

    Should have been a choice for "I use pre-made campaign settings with heavy modification to suit my needs". But that's just one of my campaigns, the other is a home-brew with stuff from pre-made campaigns added in. Hunter

    How open are you about playing DnD?

    Not in the least bit. I got tired of hiding the fact that I game when when I was 15. That was 20 years ago. My wife and I are very open about our hobby. In fact, she recently had to go to Boulder, CO for work-related training. The first day as each person stood to introduce themselves and...

    Female Gamers? Are there more of us now?

    My wife games in my regular table-top game, and has for the past four years. I also co-DM a play-by-post game based at a Yahoo group. We have 18 total players, 7 of them are female. That's a pretty good percentage. hunter1828

    Level Progression

    Hmmm...I never thought about it before really. Let's see here, the table top game is four years old. 4 years x 12 months per year = 48 months 48 months x 4 weeks per month = 192 weeks. Now, we don't play every week, but I would say we probably did game about 150 of those 192 weeks. The...

    Romance in Roleplaying

    A game with Romance can be incredibly wonderful as long as everyone can handle it. I've used romance in the games I DM for nearly 20 of the 25 years of been gaming. I've ran NPC/PC romances between male NPCs and Female PCs, Female NPCs and Male PCs, and Female NPCs and Female PCs. All of my...
