    But which was from the original poster?

    OD&D = social mobility, 4e does not

    Woo, good thing my Unseen Servant is also unheard. Well, maybe if you tried again, and worked harder on the coherency. Maybe you have something worth saying, maybe not, but surely you can do better than what you originally posted.

    De-Virginizing my Friends: Super Silly or Just D&D Silly

    Put a handsome blond elf in your game. Then kill him mercilessly. Bwa-ahahah!

    Oots 664

    Roy's Dad has already been willing to hijack a celestial summoning to get his business done, leaving V to fall into evil? I'm not sure that'll make a difference. Could be made a plot point easily enough though.

    OD&D = social mobility, 4e does not

    You can. However you must roll a natural 20 to succeed.

    Is there a Relationship between Game Lethality and Role Play?

    There are two basic ways to change behavior. Carrots and Sticks. This would be the stick. If you don't have a carrot in mind, then you'll likely not accomplish much.

    OD&D = social mobility, 4e does not

    Chalk me up as another person who can't comprehend whatever message is being expressed in the original post.

    Tell me about your favorite game store

    There's three pizza places within reasonable walking distance, and two more on the way there. Gah, I really need to stop going there.

    How long until game stores are gone?

    Depends. Are we counting of its own, or would being closed due to the end of humanity? Cuz the last seems a bit unfair. But otherwise, oh, 500 years. I'll let you know if I'm wrong in 2509. +/- 3%

    World Size

    Well, given that Jerry Pournelle had a whole book/anthology series about the world of Haven, and he's one of the more scientific types among science fiction authors, I'd say it's certainly going to pass the whiff test. I'm sure there's somebody out there who has done some real number-crunching...

    Rules for selling gems?

    Well, what do you want then? I'm a bit unclear on that. You may want to look up the history of money then to see what examples appeal to you. I would point out that your PCs wouldn't have to melt down their gold pieces, it might be much simpler to go to a money-changer instead. Depending...

    When and why were the factions driven out of Sigil?

    If you don't mind the potential spoilers, there's a whole article here on the Faction War.

    WoW and 4e - where's the beef?

    It's really not quite the same. There's no fluff. And there's no rules. There's also detailed rules and fluff for everything. But there's an acceptable amount of fluff, and there's an acceptable amount of rules. However, they may not be in the same places, or for the same reasons. I'm...

    Vampire Sunlight Protection

    How fitting. The vampires have risen from the dead.

    Rules for selling gems?

    If you want to make up rules for haggling, you can, or...you can go another route and do something like: "Searching the chest, you find a large blue stone, which seems to glow with an inner beauty, but a feeling of woeful sadness seeps into your heart as you look upon it." Might be more...

    WoW and 4e - where's the beef?

    For me, it depends on the Fluff. One of the most annoying pieces of Fluff for me is from the 2nd Edition PHB. Elves didn't die, but did the Tolkien thing. Is this bad? Not in any objective sense, but I just do not like it. Not at all. I have similar feelings about the 4E Dragonborn and...

    WoW and 4e - where's the beef?

    Ok, could you contrast that with examples of roleplaying potential in the ruleset of prior editions? Perhaps that would help make things more clear? The Points of Light was intended to be generic, so DM's could come up with that backstory themselves. Therefore, I wonder why you call it...

    WoW and 4e - where's the beef?

    Well, while I appreciate the idea, I'd note that that kind of thing, in my experience, is less about the system used to play the game, and more about the setting. Not that I don't see the value for such things, but I'd prefer they not be in the rule books as it were. Though of course, they can...
