He's not? I gathered that he was, based on the following... :confused:

Huh? I already knew Piratecat was a really nice guy, but now I learn he's a vegan... ? Feh. He is neither a pirate nor a cat. :p

I dunno. Is it really unethical to grow headless, feetless, featherless chickens, like rows of eggplants? Sure, it seems creepy. But, really, these bioengineered "chickens" would be totally unthinking and unfeeling, and no more a living creature than an eggplant. And it's sure a lot less cruel...

You speak as if meat is an acquired taste, i.e. as if it's something you have to work at ingesting, over a period of time, in order to truly enjoy. That may be the case with alcohol or tobacco, but it's not the case with meat. For example, toddlers love eating meat, once it's introduced into...

Good grief, man! If you're confused over why one of the assistant managers might feel threatened by your carrying around a knife like this at work, and if you feel indignant because the manager told you to not carry this knife while you're at work, then you're bound to have a lot of trouble in...

Re: Re: Re: Re: [OT] Carrying a knife Here are the facts I gathered from Dwarf's initial post... 1. He carries a knife practically everywhere he goes. 2. He carried the knife with him at work, at a restaurant, even though it is not needed for his job. 3. The mere sight of the knife on his...

So, you equate your knife with your car keys and your family photos in your wallet, huh? Hmm... Well, whatever. If I were a manager and if, say, one of my employees carried a huge, constantly jangling set of car keys that were a distraction to the other employees or the customers; of if one of...

I find myself wondering why a 22-year-old adult feels the need to carry a knife around, everywhere he goes, especially in a modern-day city. What are you, Crocodile Dundee or something? (Yes, I'm sure your own knife isn't that big. But, still... ) What, have you been living in a cave, the past...

Re: Got arrested.... Yep. And if you're caught driving with your blood alcohol a mere .05 over the legal limit, you will likewise be arrested. Hey, we're not talking about roleplaying games here, right? We're talking about real life!

Re: Dealing with the situation in a mature manner- Yeah, right. Grow up, dude. Seriously, if you'd do something like that, you'd find yourself in trouble with the law -- and rightly so.

Re: The optimal number of players! Perhaps you should reword the poll's question to read: How many participants (number of players and the DM) should there be in an ultimate gaming group? My first response was to answer, "5 players", thinking that did not include the DM (since he's not...

You can't use "Improved Initiative", eh? Too bad. That is really a clever name, since it not only incorporates the name of the (rather ubiquitous, IMHO) feat, but it succinctly describes what your product does. And it's a better name than all the alternatives I've seen offered here, so far...

I came across a bunch of Dragonlance 5th Age stuff in a used bookstore, the other day; all of it, marked down in price by 50%. I was able to flip through some of the books and glance at individual cards in the Fate Deck. I thought it all looked pretty intriguing. For sure, the production values...

Why, you do! (To some extent, at least.) Because, seeing the headline of this post, you decided to click on it and read all about it. :p

Tomotoes came from the New World, and thus were not available to the Europeans prior to the early 16th Century. Other things that were "discoveries" from the New World were bellpeppers, chocolate, tobacco, kidney beans, lima beans, avocados, and blueberries. In exchange, the Europeans brought...

Actually, your words in your initial post were "classic medieval fantasy". So, that's why I (and others, here) thought Pendragon and Ars Magic would be just the thing you are looking for. However, it now appears that what you are really looking for is to tone down the magic and the power of 3rd...

I third that! Pendragon and Ars Magica are fantastic RPGs that place a lot of emphasis on roleplaying and story-telling, yet without going too far with that, as RPGs like Vampire and Mage do. Furthermore, Pendragon and Ars Magica fit perfectly the description originally given in this post; i.e...

I'm tired of seeing movies about the heroes saving the world or the whole friggin' universe. What I'd like to see is something heroic on a much smaller scale, like in the movie, The Seven Samurai (remade by Hollywood as the Magnificent Seven). Oh, and I'm tired of movies where a great prophecy...

I dislike the XPs loss from dying rule, and so does every player I've ever had in my campaigns. Instead of permanent XPs loss, I'm thinking of impelementing a rule for temporary loss of ability scores. Perhaps, like, 4 points of Str and Con, and 2 points of Dex? Thus, when you are raised from...
