Yoink As Thou Wilt!

Thank you! :)

If I had a PC in your world, could he be a Robot Monkey Ninja Pirate riding a Dinosaur? If so, I NEED to game with you! If all your kingdoms are ruled by insatiable lipstick Lesbian strippers (who nonetheless make exceptions for horny male adventurers), then I believe I've found gaming Nirvana!

But surround that muscle with a layer of fat, and they'd look exactly like Tolkien's pudgy Hobbits! Remember, real-life little people tend to look very thickly built for their size. Some fantasy races just weren't supposed to be sexy looking. On the other hand, I've seen some midget chicks that...

And beat the average human bodybuilder to death with their fists without much of a problem. Chimps are both smaller (3-4 feet tall) and much stronger than us (5 times human upper body strength). It's entirely probable that halflings could both be 3 feet tall and about as strong as an adult...

One of the things my players seem to think is very cool is my take on Halflings. Since Tolkien intended Hobbits as an ode to English country folk, I make my halflings into a parody of American rednecks. Just like in Tolkien, they eat too much pork fat, go around barefoot, and are suspicious of...

Damn! I was going to start playing WoW, to hook up with some single chicks. Now you tell me they're all married! Well, maybe some of them are poly! :D Incidentally, one of the gamers in my regular group is a pregnant married female with one kid already, and yes, she plays WoW. I don't recall...

Of course, it also shows that WOTC may be losing 30% of their D&D players, without any guarantee they'll be able to get kids raised on MMORPGs interested in tabletop play. From a sales point of view, that's a catastrophe. If your customer base shrinks to 70% of what it was, it's time to...

I'd hit it. Let's see, kinda cute, maybe psychotic, definite anti-social tendencies... In my younger days I be on her like a fly on poo!

Only if they don't buy any digital miniatures...

Ah, the hazards of being a fanboy, believing that the corporation loves you when all they really love is your dollar...

Halflings were not supposed to have the same proportions as humans, so the comparison to children is not entirely apt. Apparently somebody on the 3rd edition design team couldn't stand the idea of pudgy halflings with somewhat oversized heads, and decided that they needed to give them human...

I know. But as someone of Irish ancestry, it's still somewhat annoying to see the lustful, wild, trickster Aes Sidhe reduced to such a boring, Victorian English conception. Of course, maybe that's another one of the Good People's jokes...

Yes, and no. "Sidhe" is actually just a shortened form of "Aes Sidhe", or People of the Hills. The "Sidhe' part means "hills". In Irish lore, the Aes Sidhe could look tall or short, resemble animals, and seem old or young. They could be homely, or so sexy that you willingly give up your life for...

Come to the C&C Dark Side. We will show you things you cannot learn from the WOTC Jedi. Seriously, I think WOTC doesn't want your money anymore. From what I can tell 4th edition is even more of a fantasy super-heroes game than 3rd edition was. I expect that trying to make it into the lower...

I am honestly baffled by the development of the "challenge the PC not the player" attitude. Are we becoming so pampered and indulged that we can't even bear to the possibility of losing an imaginary contest? Why even play a game if nobody is ever challenged by it? How is it role-playing game is...

The more information that gets released, the more I find that the English language doesn't contain the words needed to express my disdain for the 4th edition.

I'm no fan of what WOTC is doing to D&D with 4th edition. However, both Tiamat and Bahumut have been iconic parts of D&D since the 1st edition Monster Manual. Of course, IMHO opinion that's were they belong, not on the list of default deities for humans. Seeing what WOTC's imagination looks...

My player's PCs would probably have their horses sodomize that Prince, then urinate on his corpse. Then the PCs would go try to seduce the Prince's wife with a story about how they bravely tried to save his life from a pack of horny Ogres. The PCs are THAT F***ING METAL!

Oh, you mean the same kind of professional market research that brought us New Coke? Anybody whose ever been in marketing, and is honest about it, can tell you that mostly it's just making educated guesses. It's not a science, and is certainly subject to the same "tell them what they want to...
