Fair enough. What I interpreted was that you were attributing your product to having created the term. I do have to say though, the words army building was way more widespread than army builder. I just can't imagine that this was an accident as amy builder is a logical conclusion of army...

I can't point to a specific instance, but I can assure you this was the case. Before the internet, there were BBSs and I can say for certain, that army builder was used frequently when building armies for miniature games through FidoNet messages, WWIV network messages and any number of other BBS...

Again, these are my experiences with people who where not like this before they started playing MMOs. That is how I attribue it. These people, while they wanted a good character, where not obsessed about it until they encountered it in MMOs. That is what changed these particular people...

I am going to chime in here and say, IME, that is not correct. There has always been different levels of character building - but the attitude that everything else sucks compared to the optimised way or the attutude that you are playing the game wrong has increased dramatically since MMOs...

No, I am not bashing anything other than the idea that someone should be telling someone else how to play or make their character, or telling them how to play the game. The title of the thread bothers me as well. All I did was compare what has happened with people that I know and how the...

I am not ininuating anything. I clearly said IMO. I also never said Powergamers did not exist. I said that since EQ, it has run rampant through RPGs, and was considerably less so to non-existant for some of us. Of course there were "better" characters than others. that has always existed...

That is great. The funny thing about all the comments is that IMO these all came from the MMO crowd. It may be only me and the people I hung around, but no one talked like that before EQ. It is the worst thing to bleed over into RPGs in general, IMO.

No I don't think I am going to worry about it. We are talking about a max size of 32, maybe even a 26 LCD TV. I have seen these in all kinds of strange angles. I suppose it could be a problem, but I would worry more if it were larger screen. We are not going to be physically touching...

We are just starting to do this right now. We have decided to go the flat panel TV instead of a projector. Seems to work for us. I have a gaming table, that in the next month I will be building a 32" LCD into the middle of. I will post pictures if people want when it is complete. AS for...

I guess I assumed modules as in what you could buy in a store. Although to be honest, I have not used most modules in a while. My group tends to do our own thing.

Did they actually create all those themselves? Or are you counting LFR and DDI? Unless I am missing something, there just are not alof of modules outside of those areas. Maybe that is where it is at now? I don't know.

I don't consider WotC to be good at adventure design. I don't even think WotC really wants to create adventures. They had to. If they were really into creating adventures, there would be a bunch of them by now. I like the MM the way it is. There is more than enough monster background included...

Could you point out in the books, where this happens on a regular basis? We are talking hypethetical - it hasn't happened as the race has not been written up for a PC yet. And biological abnormalities happen all the time in various species and could even be attributed to outside influences...

Not true at all. All it that has to be done is what every D&D game has done before it, make the decision for you. The power gets changed to only push, or one random person in the party gets the bonus, or you select in an interface your perferences to override like this character gets any bonus...

It is really the player's resposibility to come up with a reason to play a monster type character - not the DMs. Not all groups play in the same setting where the history of all other PCs are part of the setting history. A setting can be re-used, without all the baggage that the last PCs who...

Surface has a ton of applications. It can be the center of the entire moden house. Adjust your thermostat, light controls, display pictures, share music, probably even dial a telephone and speak to people. Right now, we use Iphones to show other people youtube videos - and it is awkward and...

Just an Amazon thing I think, not much of a marketplace thing. I am starting to HATE Amazon at this point. Daily price changing, high prices on some things. For instance, alot of Nerf N-Strike stuff has gone up in price by 5 or more dollars overnight, and then there is the Crossfire game...

That's where we differ I guess. I don't want or need a book explaining to me why this is different. It is different because as a PC (who incidentally are usually the only PCs in the world at the time) are already different from the other members of their race. It is a one off and can be...

It boils down to this is a different game. It also boils down to the same fact that monsters/npcs are built differently than PCs. The assumptions are something that you may not like. History is riddled with species that have examples of being special, and not forming another species...

What you just said - they are PCs becuase they are inherently different from their race.
