    Playing the same character since 1985? Gwah?

    I used to play character long time. Many games at same time. Some didn't last very long, but my first D&D basic character I played 5 years. Then my group changed. I played one character 9 years. Very unusual game, started as warhammer game. Played other characters at same time. Some of them...

    Star Wars The Old Republic MMO

    My friend likes it lot. I don't. I find it boring. Maybe because I don't like Star Wars so much, original movies yes, but that's is it. So I think you have to like star wars games from same company this game has many similar stuff. Missing looking for group tool, you have to use chat to find...

    Buy High, Sell Low is a Dumb Economic Model

    I find it rather annoying that rpg:s don't have these rules. And when there are ones they seem awfully random. Let's say for example some writers include housing prices for Golarion area books and some do not. I want everyone to include them, they are useful. My players want to rent/buy...

    Is random good?

    I like random. I have nothing against cool plots either. I like systems that use random elements usually dice. Yes, I like random rolling for stats unless it's computer game. There I tend to roll until I get good ones, and continue rolling when I get them on reflex and curse and continue...

    If you like Doctor Who and D&D...

    I like time travel games. Used to play actual ones Time Master and that Gurps version. Mage the Ascension.... ah. Doctor Who tends to follow very twisty nah nah you never guess (I did) plotlines. I don't quite think that particular feeling would work well for roleplaying game. Sometimes it's...

    Brainstorming a M:tG themed campaign...

    I'd love to see MtG as roleplaying game. I like their idea(s). Not everything naturally, but I like it. I would like to play someone who becomes during the game planeswalker, otherwise how different it would be of other one world games. Many cards have quite inspiring stuff. But since I am...

    How many House rules are too many?

    Less than half page. It should include books that you can use. Magic of what 3.x/pathfinder we use or all of it. some extras as neened. Everyone gets 2 background feats they are bit like traits pathfinder invated later but use certain nomral feats. Lowest skill amount per lv is 4 not 2 for any...

    Re-thinking PC death and storytelling

    Funny. :P Yet were that rpg-story, rather than 5 book, even if that would be true, I don't think game would last all that long time. Yep maybe with some multi-character playing it could work out (not something my group would care for). Otherwise it's just depressing. And would make...

    What exactly is "Roleplaying", Do We Think?

    Hehe without system for me it certainly would be daydreaming. I sometimes "roleplay" some situations in my head as I think some game to come, but it's kinda planning rather than actually roleplaying. However if I would pick one of those "choose your adventure books" and read/play it (without...

    What exactly is "Roleplaying", Do We Think?

    Roleplaying for me is playing character(s). Game has rules, and some kinda stats for character, loosely or stricly. Character might change or not during game, like in tv-stories, some have story that changes characters/world, some have story where always happen something but next episode it...

    Re-thinking PC death and storytelling

    I woudn't play in game that follow plot like those books. That would create depressing, angsty setting where everything constantly falls apart. That makes interesting novel, though one complite to my tastes, even if his writing skills are very good. However, it does make very motivating gaming...

    Kitchen Sink or Limits, Which for You?

    Depends of GM. Some GM start spit out stupid ideas if there are no limits. Those GM:s need limits. Player is not really a problem since GM can always say "no". But do you know many people saying "no" to themselves. I personally like themes. I hate to include everything just because. I actually...

    Player entitlement and "My Precious Encounter"

    I dislike that kinda methods. I create encounters how module says or how that would belong to area/my adventure/random encounter. I play under one dm who tries to entitle players and force us to run away from anything thiat is too powerful yet he creates these situations. It's boring, it's...

    "Gamism," The Forge, and the Elephant in the Room

    Ok, so you have time to think gaming a lot "graz". You also seem to have very balanced group, with similar idea of "fun gaming". This is not so with most groups I know/used to know. Nice thing with that is that great deal of different gaming systems/themes got tried out. But, alas, with age...

    "Gamism," The Forge, and the Elephant in the Room

    I think basic idea of some greater unifying theory isn't bad at all. It might just been that way too eco-cetric way to push these ideas (even the wrong ones) is against scientific princible and is more way chaotic artist way to do it. And thus annoyance of bloatic personalites, internet as...
