long story short: we played an evening of poker in character, with no dice rolls. long story long: back when i was a teenager, i ran a superhero story where the villain seemed to have nearly unlimited power. the party got stomped pretty good when they tried to go toe-to-toe with him. when...

he's not a douche. he's good people. he just wanted to run a very specific game, i think, based on some comic he was reading at the time. when the players came up with a rediculously different group than what his story was built for, he wanted to help us succeed in the game. his...

a friend of mine decided to run a superhero game. the world was his and i don't remember what rules he was using. i remember i spent several hours talking to him about and writing up my character. she had a tragic backgroud that lead to her discovering her powers and causing her to become...

i was looking for: no, my pcs are plenty evil anyway, thank you. or maybe, no, that's what roleplaying night with my s/o is for. i don't think a company could get by specializing in this kind of product unless they could find a way to market and sell their mature/adult products to kids...

TerraGenesis: Forum Index these folks are full of great info on building your own terrain, and have some amazing pics of their stuff.

now, now, Ikademi+Beer officially commandeered this thread, so now it's about their current problem players. Ikademi+Beer, have you tried hitting them yet?

i would like to address the points of your statement one at a time. little wars is still amazing to this day. i think that i'll try to get some friends to play it soon, as a matter of fact. tolkien. (i am aware that what i'm about to type is the worst kind of blasphemy, and will probably get...

what most foreign (and when i say foreign, i mean "not american", because i am of course convinced that america is the totality of the civilized world and that no one else could think any other way) roleplayers probably don't realize is that we americans roleplay correctly. i doubt that most...

hit them with sticks. or, better idea, make them hit each other with sticks and the winner gets to be right. it'll only backfire if they'd all rather you be wrong than any one of them being right, then they beat you with three sticks. which would suck more than playing with three devas. but only...

already have something very similar. made from two 3-ring binders with spots for inserts bolted together for little more than the cost of the binders. i modeled it after one made by the gentleman who introduced me to the hobby. i enjoy the rings, because it gives me somewhere to store my game...

indeed. also, i meant to post this up earlier, but was distracted by shiny baubles. in a science fiction setting i intend to run someday: i plan to steal a bit of tech from william gibson. it's essentially an off switch for your consciousness. you take a little nap, and the programed...

i was probably about ten when a friend wanted to introduce me to d&d. he gave me a dwarf fighter and proceeded to send me with no concept of how the game was supposed to work after a dragon that killed me in one round. i never played a game with him again, and didn't roleplay again for a few...

wow this thread has kept me entertained for hours now. you are all evil. hobo. you are the most prolifically cruel, twisted, and ingenious monstrosity to walk the internet, and i supplicate myself before your terrible creativity with equal parts fervor and trepidation.

all my hopes for the future of the hobby rest squarely in the arms of the dreampark novels.

rogue = isaiah mustafa (the guy from the old spice commercials): he's suave and confident. athletic enough to be able to do all the acrobatic and exhausting things that a good rogue has to do. fighter = vin diesel: he has the size and the physicality to pass for a fighter. his love for the...

we all know that technically correct is the best kind of correct. i fully conceed that the original implementation of psionics was just a neat little thing that could be thrown in as an option and the chances of it being unbalancing to a game were pretty much nil. the thing that it's grown...

psionics aren't a sci-fi element, they're a min-maxer's wet dream and add nothing of value to a game world. they're there because decades ago, they needed to put out as many books as possible to take advantage of people who would buy anything that they could use to pile more rules onto their...

how about another team of modern adventurers with nothing to engage in epic battle with, so they start stalking the your group, and eventually propose nemisis-ship when confronted? i think coyote covered about everything, really.

edit: just now bothered to pay attention to everyone's post before jumping in with my two cents and noticed that maddman75 beat me to the punch on this one. my hat off to him for his excellent taste and quick typing fingers. :end edit dread. i can't pimp this game enough. it's simple...

quest for knowledge leads to professor's quest for immortality leads to professor lich leads to oh, dear gods, this is our fault leads to final battle to save the land from professor lich and redemption for the chaos unleashed. best immortality formula ever was on babylon 5. the secret...
