In DnD, that depends on the dragon species. Not all species are depicted as being that wise, despite the wisdom score (which, as written, is more discernment than wisdom).

You might want to retake the logic course that taught you about straw man fallacies. Because that wasn't the logical fallacy I used. Especially since I made it a point to address your actual argument in my next section. The bad one was your complete BS statement about insults not working. Tell...

You're right. You shouldn't let your Gluteus Maximus attempt oratory. Because so far, all I'm hearing is, "we put in a basic effort with no real attempt at being creative, and it didn't work." Gee, no wonder it didn't work. I mean, really, did he tell the dragons they were less than his dung...

Adventure starts I've used: 1) "You wake up in an extremely-defiled temple to Ao with a pounding head and no memory of how you got here or how the place got so trashed." 2) "You wake up in Eliminster's bed with a pounding headache and no memory of how you got here or who these other people...

Pfft. That just indicates a lack of creativity. Seriously, distracting dragons isn't hard. Now, it's hard to do without derailing the entire game because the DM is too flabbergasted to pay attention to what they're doing, but it's not hard to distract a dragon or six. Insulting the dragon...

I find it ironic that you are criticizing me on objectivity while lacking it yourself. And that you criticize me for lack of history knowledge when perusing this very thread would reveal the comments Cook made that fueled those fights. Mayhap you should take your own advice on researching the...

Find a good grognard group that's been together long enough. You'll find RPG books you never knew possible, hidden away somewhere on their shelves.

Going by the ruleset you were using... There was nothing preventing someone else from distracting the dragons. The wizard tossing fireballs is going to keep the dragons pretty busy. After all, if you're a giant flying naturally-armored engine of death and destruction, are you going to go for...

You want to melee something like a dragon? Fine. Play a dwarf, halfling, or gnome. Make certain one party member is a half-orc or similar strong race. And then, whenever it comes time to dragon fight, have them throw you at the dragon. Sure, falling damage will probably kill you when they...

Hah! I just noticed that! That's what they get for relying too much on spellcheck XD

Which is irrelevant in regards to the outcome of this particular vote. I find it interesting you take a comment out of context to make that reply.

I don't think there is any company on the same league as Wizards anymore. White Wolf once came pretty close, but that was a long time ago. The only company even competing with Wizards on as many fronts as Wizards participates in is Catalyst; it is leveraging the multimedia aspects of both...

World of Darkness in general. The writing has always been superb on the fiction aspects. Shadows of the Demon Lord is also good. Shadowrun has always been interesting fiction. Oh, and I have to give kudos to Starfinder for doing something no other RPG on the market has done: Made me actually...

Congratulations to the winners. Interesting to see CoC has a rising star again.

I was trying to gently prod Mistveil into considering just where their conversation is leading and what path they are walking :p

To be fair, Cook himself was speaking in anger a lot during that period. He did not have a good relationship with WotC or Hasbro during that period, and it showed in a lot of his writings from the time. This was one of them, and I do suspect that relationship colored his viewpoints a bit and had...

I'm guilty of buying what he publishes where it comes to Numenera. Not so much the rest of the Cypher system; I kinda hate the Strange and think the Cypher core system is kinda bad. But Numenera? I absolutely love the setting and the amount of thought he puts into it. Playing it makes me sigh...

I need to read the comics, but so far it looks intriguing.

There are a lot of things done with Numenera that Monte Cook ranted against during his 3E days. Honestly, I blame it on the environment back then. A lot of the bad apples of that era, which included Cook (he was basically a troll king during that era), have since gone on to become...

I'm curious. I loved Fantasy AGE and Titansgrave, but I just couldn't find anyone interested in them. Maybe Modern AGE, with the lack of a really good successor to d20 Modern, will fill that slot.
