Sounds like the drama in my high school gaming group. I'm so glad I'm past puberty now. But this is going on into... College? I'm just guessing--roommate thing n' all. Recommend (kindly) to the DM that she set aside some time in the next session to address concerns about rebalancing the game...

Someone XP this man for me.

For me, which is "better" depends on the desires of my players. Personally, I would love to kick it meatgrinder style and kill all of our beloved ones for the resulting, hysterical bathos--at heart, I'm a take no prisoners type of planner. My usual group, however, gets angsty whenever a PC dies...

In my homebrew, orcs are among the first of the sentient races, descended from a common ancestor with ogres, and developed an evolutionary split which resulted in humanity. The fall of their original mother civilization was due mainly to issues in the divine realm resulting in enormous...

But that's the best kind. (I wanted to XP that, but I have to spread my love around first.)

In addition, if you play on building a game that relies on dice rolls (as opposed to systems that use, for example, Jenga to decide a PC's success or failure, or depend on the whim of the storyteller), take statistics while you're in high school. A solid foundation in mathematics is a very...

I think he's got a pretty twisted mind. That's another topic, though. :) I shouldn't have brought him up at all!

More or less what I said several pages ago, but longer. Including schizophrenia. How bizarre. It's not enough that many groups commit wholesale fantasy genocide against fantasy races, but now someone wants us to re-enact WWII with dragons on the side. All of this talk about what types of...

What is "RaHoWa"?

What's this "action points instead of XP" system? Is there a published variant on that or is it houseruled?

I hope you get plenty of rest, Princess. :) I'll switch out from Space into Dread if no one picks up the game to DM.

We've found the distinction usually more pertinent in our pbp games :) It's sort of a "inner you" versus "persona" issue. (And wouldn't you know it, but we're going to play a Persona game, too.)

This is a software question, so, mods, if there's a better place to move this... :) I want to use OpenRPG to play a campaign with my group, since we're all over the place. I like the promise of the map functionality among other things. I am trying to set up a server, but my problem is that I...

My hard and fast rule is that the race has to be sentient. ;)

This is a longform generic bio template we sometimes use in my group. It's expanded or cut depending on what we're doing, but I thought someone here might find its contents useful. It's formatted in bbcode. [hr] General Info [hr] Character Name and Nicknames/Alias: Name meaning: Affiliation...

I don't think there's a point to engaging someone who seems to be trolling. Even Jack Chick is being forced to moderate his stance (by deleting old tracts off of his site--apparently even very conservative believers find his works objectionable!). I think that many of the people who were...

That hit the spot. (And now I'm one semester closer to finishing this master's! Booyah!)

80. Heal the ruler of a land. As a bonus, convert him/her if they're a heathen. 81. The hand of a king is the hand of the healer. Take your divinely mandated place as liege to support the well-being of your people and lands under the guidance of your god. 82. Act as an oracle.

I don't usually set a hard and fast limit here, floor or ceiling, unless I know that the person has a tendency to babble. ;) I will draw out someone who's too cursory in their responses or says nothing at all. I do not give bonuses tied to the number or severity of fears. I make that an RP...

I also wanted to note that I encourage my players to collaborate when building their PCs. They don't always take my advice, but when they do, I find it helps the game's forward momentum (especially in the early stages, when they're not quite comfortable with whatever setting we're playing in)...
