I have mixed feelings on this. The whole attitude of I deserve would send warning bells off in my head. I really don't like players with huge entitlement issues. On the other hand I have joined into games already in progress and the lack of magical items can effect my PC negatively. Especially...

I guess you would hate my table then because the group I play with have always had the rule the DM has final say on rules in their game. Now in practice when I DM I will talk to my players after a session and I will listen but if I don't agree I am not going to be pressured into it by the threat...

Thank you. When a thread goes on this long I have noticed that sometimes it is easy to lose track of who said what. And we all are passionate about our hobby are we would not be posting.

Thanks. :)

I am of the school that death is punishment enough. I used to hate this in AD&D. I felt that my PC never really did much expect hide and run over and administer healing potions to the PCs who were the big guns. And of course it was completely horrible in 3E because you couldn't effect...

Cool. :) I used to get yelled at when I did single post and told lump it together. I am just not great with splitting posts like some people are. Especially if I am using my phone to post. I come from the Clarion workshops on SF and fantasy writing school of thought that even fantasy needs to...

Can someone please tell me what pun pun is? Utilizing loopholes imo is a form of breaking the game. Is it cheating well technically no but it is also not always in the best interest of the game. Come on loopholes are used to get around the rules. Like what happens when a guilty as sin...

Please tell me where I took it to if you like dragonboobs you are wrong? I stated my reasons for not liking them again for emphasis my opinionI prefer dragons and their kinds to be more reptile less mammals because to me that is more interesting and as such I would want them to be like most of...

I do see a lot of internet bullying and bullies tend to be very screwed up twisted people in real life so it does not surprise me that a lot of internet trolls are screwed up nasty people in real life. I don't have any study to back this up just a gut feeling and 56 years of life experience...

If I threw out every player for metagaming I would have no one to play with. I think the longer you play then it becomes kind of hard sometimes to keep player knowledge from the character. I have never met one player in over 30 years of playing who does not slip up and do this now and then. I...

I don't understand how simply discussing a preference has turned into an argument on using science in a fantasy game is badwrongfun style of play. If I want my in my game world dragonborn and dragons to be reptiles and treat them like most earth style reptiles then some how I am doing it wrong...

Not only did I read and actually you know talk to some of the authors who were involved but I read the original post as well. And as I said there was a lot of outrage on both sides. And way to go characterizing the women who spoke up as harpies you do know that male authors spoke up as well? I...

Sigh way to just completely trivialize feminism. Take looking sexy yes Beyonce uses her looks and her femininity as tools as well as her voice to get ahead in the music industry she is choosing to do that. And yes feminism is okay with that the issue we have as feminists is when it become...

When we run Pathfinder we tend to run it in Golarion. The DMs that run it usually run adventure paths and since the bulk are already set there it is just easier.

I don't allow players to have a MM or the DMG out on the table they are not allowed to look at while we are playing. I also call out metagaming. I will flat out ask how their character knows this information. I now tend to change up my monsters because most of my players have been playing a...

I don't think it is a cheating to build a powerful character. I do think it is a form of cheating when they use the rule in way that technically might be interpreted their way but goes against the spirit of the rules meaning. I usually have no problem with players who like to build really...

After thinking about this I realize I have a split personality on this as a player I prefer RAW as a DM I prefer RAI. :erm: I guess part of it for me is I have experiences with DMs who make changes not understanding why a rule is written in a certain way and then the game goes bad because of...

I don't think anyone here is really making it an "issue" I am not I am stating a preference and why I prefer something. It is no different than say stating I prefer paladins to be lawful good. Like I said why are posting on a topic you say you don't care about do you feel the need to educate the...

First of all no one said they can't deviate. And since I am a human it makes sense that I would be influenced by human created classification systems. As I said I prefer that they look more reptilian and why I prefer that. I also like the idea that monsters don't necessarily conform to human...

If it makes female gamers feel more represented then fine. I just know that the female players I know don't really have a passionate view about boobs on monsters. Now we do get sick of bog boobs on all superheroes and female adventurer and don't get us started on stripper armor and stripper...
