I've been lurking on and off here for a few years, mostly to keep an eye on the news. A couple of months ago, I started writing some modules for a con, and I realized just how very rusty my writing skills had become. So I decided to post here a little bit, get some practice. So far I haven't...

A very good point, SirEuain. And a very interesting story as well.

Most Powerful Lord Trom, I submit that the paladin in question is, in fact, guilty of not living up to the standard required of him, for the reasons which I briefly discussed earlier. A paladin is a warrior, true--the strong arm of righteousness. But in our essence, we are protectors. We...

But I don't think that the magic you refer to can detect abstractions of these principles. The spells detect whether or not a person or object is connected to one of these forces, but not ideas and concepts. The spells have to be targeted, of course, and how can you target an idea? So I don't...

My Lord Torm, I humbly ask your forgiveness for speaking out of turn. I acted out of zeal, and forgot politeness. As for this 'alignment' that you speak of--the ideals I hold most highly are those of Law and Goodness. Titian Kerrick, solar-in-training

(Okay, this is cool--I like this). My Lord, I am Titian Kerrick, follower of Heironeous. My judgement is that the paladin in question should recieve a slight chastisement, perhaps a temporary loss of his powers until he reconsiders his role as a paladin. Why? Not because he slew the...

I'm down with what you're saying. Find your game and love it, man. Consider me signed up. So what do you call it? The Gamer's Manifesto? The RPG Bill of Rights? Ode to a Gamer? Say, do you think it would work in haiku form? "Our game passes too quickly; Enjoy it now, friend: Sweet respite...

I didn't mean to say that we need to avoid such things. In fact, I very strongly believe that roleplaying benefits in a very significant way from dealing with serious issues. Every story we tell needs to have some level of conflict in it. My belief is that the level of your reaction to these...

This has certainly become an interesting thread, with a large variety of different opinions. I happen to have some strong feelings about this situation, and I hope you will not mind if I share them here. I apologize if I come across as harsh or elitist--that's not my intention. Here's how...

People have written lots of sourcebooks for real life, but hardly any of them have any crunchy bits. It's actually very hard to find dry rations in real life. There are no 64 oz. double gulp cups of Mountain Dew in D&D. In real life, you don't have to worry if every short person you meet is...

While it is true that we are already sitting on several alternative sources of energy, Calico Jack makes a very good point about oil being necessacary for lubrication in just about every single machine in the world. Even your can opener has oil in it. A very sudden disappearance of oil could...

I think I'm actually at some negative level. Slacker, level -2. I know I have quite a penalty on my will saves...and for some reason, I took a lot of flaws without getting anything in return. Say, how much do you think the flaws Crippling Debt (Student Loans) and Addiction (pr0n) should be worth?

Okay, so I'm not the best, but I'm pretty good. Yeah, you might say, "If he's so good, how come he needs more players?" Well, by a strange coincidence, all my old players suddenly died (I swear I don't know how their corpses ended up in my crawlspace). No, they all just ended up getting...
