So? I said we found and removed yellow cake uranium, which is true, why does it matter when he got it? And the officials in Niger said he'd recently tried to buy more, though Wilson tried to downplay their statements in his report.

You are factually wrong. Everything I listed has been proven true. He did flaunt at least 16 UN resolutions. He did kick out UN inspectors and refuse them access for years. Not only did he try to buy more yellow cake from Niger, 550 tons of uranium were found and removed from Iraq. (U.S...

Yeah, I think if that situation did happen, they would not stage a 3-pronged land invasion of the US because they'd know that a) their invasion forces would be wiped off the map by that super-weapon, b) followed by the countries that launched them being wiped off the map for their impudence. I...

Well, while that characterization may be "common knowledge" in some circles, I disagree that the last decade has done that at all. We were attacked on 9/11 and we responded by going after the terrorists and their supporters the Taliban in Afghanistan. We spent at least as much time building...

I'm not calling you a Communist or terrorist (and I have no idea where you got the notion that I was), I'm saying that the game has traditionally had 3 Communist countries invading the US, and the updated version sounds as if it involves terrorists. Is England one of the invading countries in...

Ok, what is the point of the game? The first edition worked fine with 3 Communist invaders attacking the continental US. What is it in this new version that requires America be evil?

It wasn't hyperbole, here in California, such people exist in fairly large numbers. I've had classes with some of them back in university, and I lived in the SF bay area for years and knew some there. Heck, the Occupy movement shows how influential they've become. But that's beside the point...

I find the first version very offensive and totally unrealistic. It matches a warped version of America peddled in classrooms by socialist professors. I find it no different than if the next version of Axis and Allies had a blurb that said: " Can players lead heroic Nazi Germany and proud...

Exactly... Amazon pays the same amount to the distributor whether they sell it for full price or 1/3 off. Similarly, a FLGS pays the same amount to the distributor no matter how much they sell it for (and many FLGS have discount plans). Those discounts come entirely out of Amazon's or the...

You rated the Resistance cantrip red? Sure, it's only good for a few levels, like several other cantrips and 1st level spells, but +1 on all saves for 1 minute is the most useful cantrip in the bunch until you get a Ring of Resistance or something.

I definitely wouldn't give witch spells to wizards. Wizards are regarded as one of the most powerful classes as is, and the 1 sacrosanct spell type that wizards are not able to cast is healing spells. Adding the cure spells to their list (even at +1 level) means they can now use wands of...

And as I said before, I can sort of agree with HP = Vitality, up until the point you are unconscious and making death saves each round to not die. At that point, I simply have to believe that you've been wounded. And you can recover from that to full health in 5 minutes.

It's not really meta-game knowledge if it is the character's reality. To them, in the game world, they are back up to full HP after a 5 minute short rest, and they know that. They also know they regain Encounter powers, etc. This is the reality of their world, they need never worry about...

My question is this: Are there any other games out there in which a character can go from bleeding out on the ground, literally seconds away from dying, to full HP in just a 5 minute short rest, by himself, without magic or special regeneration powers of any kind? There is only 1 game I can...

Why are these "for the mid-levels"? It sounds more like choices at character creation. Would the wizard get anything in return for not taking a familiar? I mean, getting the Alertness feat for free, plus the equivalent of a 2nd free feat (+3 to a skill or +2 to a save) means the familiar is...

What about turning it into a Fiasco RPG playset?

While the guy in armor and the pizza guy were really funny, I couldn't help but notice that this film seemed to include a lot of the negative stereotypes about gamers.

As one of the authors of Legends of Anglerre, I can perhaps answer some questions about it. If you haven't already, I recommend downloading the free preview of it, and looking at the FATE3 SRD. Legends of Anglerre - FREE PREVIEW #1 - Cubicle 7 Entertainment Ltd. | DriveThruRPG.com SotC SRD...

As someone who, in my 30 years of gaming, has never done megadungeons, will this RA Complete contain information on how it's supposed to be used? Will it include ways to get PCs to follow a path or clues or whatever toward the goal, rather than falling into room-clearing mode? Will it have...

I agree. And if the DM is using mostly Essentials (which is quite possible since he is brand new), he has no exposure to them at all...
