    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I TAKE THAT AS A PERSONAL ATTACK! I CAME HERE FOR AN ARGUMENT, NOT TO BE ABUSED! THOUGH THAT'S A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT IN THE SAME BUILDING, SO I UNDERSTAND WHY THE MISTAKE WAS MADE! HAVE A NICE DAY!

    What is adventuring?

    I haven't selected an option, because the true answer isn't on there. "What is adventuring?" "Whatever generates the maximum profit for shareholders."

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I get that you like Damage on a Miss each time less, but I will keep banging on until it is universally accepted as the only logical way to correctly simulate reality. But why do you like Gnome Bards less each time? They're awesome! I don't know why anybody would play anything else!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I was assured that a) the tariffs would be paid for by companies and not affect me personally, and b) that the leopards would eat other people's faces first.

    He's actually surprisingly easy to deal with if you pay attention to just one of the details in his (ever-present) art, and talk to other people...

    What is adventuring?

    Exactly! Groups that talk to the XP will figure it out. Groups that do not will probably end up fighting. I've run both types groups, I expect it will still be fun for either! Just... differently.

    What is adventuring?

    ... I mean, I mainly use Hero System, which doesn't use levels. Or, occasionally, RuneQuest, which doesn't use levels. Or, hopefully, Warhammer Fantasy RolePlay, which doesn't use levels. Or...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Well, my year is ruined, and my disappointment is immeasurable!

    What is adventuring?

    Please do! It's a great adventure, but if you do it the non-combat way, it's a fantastic and unique adventure!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Thanks for noticin' me. Could be worse. Not sure how, but it could be.

    What is adventuring?

    Well, sure, because that adventure is woke! Gloriously woke! I love that scenario, but it is highly unlikely that many groups will make it through without combat. Possible, absolutely, and teams dedicated to figuring out how to do it will probably figure it out, but it's still unlikely for many...

    D&D General I finally like non-Tolkien species for PCs

    Hera changed the Queen into a crane, leading to the war. He's torn between devotion to the goddess and his devotion to his people. I'd argue halflings are meant to be homebodies, and I'm not sure Pygmies were depicted as such; their main claim-to-fame is their ongoing war against the cranes...

    D&D General I finally like non-Tolkien species for PCs

    throws the character binder over shoulder, pulls another character folder out from under the table Okay, that's fine, dwarf artificers are old hat. Hear me out, this Dwarf is a Pygmy from the Southern Ocean, with ranger levels, who is devoted to Hera...

    White Dwarf Reflections #24

    The Warhammer Fantasy Role-Playing material also was extremely good. Some of the AD&D stuff was good, some of it was really, really bad. Oh, wait, they also had some fantastic RuneQuest material.

    D&D General I finally like non-Tolkien species for PCs

    For those who are on the fence about Tieflings, let me recommend you check out a game/setting called Midnight Realm, by Stephen Michael Sechi, the creator of Talislanta. The book has been released for free online, and is a setting with only "dark" races -- but they are all eminently playable as...

    D&D General I finally like non-Tolkien species for PCs

    But what about my Kabeiroi? He's similar to a aasimar, as he's a dwarf descended from the dwarvish sons of Hehaestus...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    No, see, my man Ea-nāṣir sold me a beautiful copper Mancala set, and he told me it's a brand-new game he invented!

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    There have been a slew of games before the modern era. There are a bunch of speculative rules on cyningstan.com. My assumption is the oldest might be Mancala, but there's no way to know for sure.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    GURPS? <scoff> They should play a good point-buy game instead.
