A teacher of mine has just finished the first book in his new fantasy series called Trail of Deceit. The series has been 23 years in the making. It was co-written by Ken and Greg before being published in homage to the late Greg Rickards, who some older gamers might know from his writings for...

Nice bit of generalisation to counter his elitism. Don't be annoying.

I'd really like to play Dark Heresy, grave-robbers and petty thieves in Sigil and I'll add Meikyu Kingdom as well.

Video games equating to an insult is funny. It just illustrates the dogmatism in the gamer community. Arguing with such people who use this terminology is like banging your head against a brick wall. They'll stay stuck in whatever views they hold and you'll get a headache. Let change pass them...

I prefer the enemy within angle. To me, most races would seem evil to each-other, especially fantasy races where they are literately alien to one another. I think the evil role of orcs and goblins is a bit soft. If the point of having evil bad guys is to draw a pathos from the PC's or players...

I can pretty much distil my list down to: Pike Spear Short Sword Sabre Zweihander Arquebus Crossbow Pistol Dagger Bayonet Axe Mattock Pitchfork

I think fantasy races are a must but I prefer if they are estranged from the players and are there purely as alien plot devices.

A fantasy shadowrun could be awesome but that'd be a bit of work. I'd say tweak BRP to suit athas or just run 2nd edition.

I'm quite plebeian in that I don't think D&D is a set of rules or specific elements. D&D is about stories with you and your friends making a difference whether bad or good in a world which centres around your ideas and characterization.

I'd like to throw: Iiro Kuttner Fyodor Dostoyevsky Clark Ashton Smith Tetsuya Nomura Mike Mingola Into a room and see what weird, alienating and surreal project they'd produce.

I got Shadowrun, which is my game of choice.

I'd be heartbroken if they re-printed the RC with leather. I'd like to see the RC but in a form I could buy.

I really can't be bothered with this thread anymore but don't be a dick a pronounced assumptions as fact. I do not have an emotional connection to this situation and I've never been accused of metagaming, let alone "taught as lesson".

That is my whole point. The responsibility and blame lies with everybody at the table. As I've said, repeatedly, the rogue acted badly, the GM acted badly and in the end the other players acted badly. The question wasn't, who's fault is who's, it was "was I a dick". I don't see that as an...

That's untrue, I have repeatedly acknowledged bad behaviour by the player. The disagreement lies in whether or not setting a trap to root out a playstyle you personally don't like is a dick move. Also, when a group of people gang up on another person if that's also being a dick. I'm afraid an...

The GM forced the players into it. He set up the storm, the cave, he admits he did it. The rogue was responding to what the GM had laid out. You are missing the point entirely. The rogue acted badly, okay cool but the GM and the players acted just as bad. This isn't about where the blame lies...

So what happens if the player doesn't volunteer that sort of information and this style of stunt is pulled on them? Cool, so we can agree then. I would also hope that we learn from our history and not just keep repeating it constantly. You took this out of context. The guy was calling me a troll...

Thank you, you just made my point for me.

Okay cool. So we can agree on that. What if the player is disadvantaged and numbers, levels, rules are relate-able but roleplay isn't? Is it still okay to treat the player in said way? If it's not, then why is it okay to treat others like this? Look, fair is fair and I agree that the player's...

I'm not going to bother replying to all the other stuff because I've already had my say and so have you. Continuing isn't convincing anybody and we're just repeating ourselves. However, this is crap. It could be true, I don't know, I come from a entirely different generation to most people on...
