    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Isn't it? In principle, if not in specific? Or do players have to accept that a DM is always right, and not to be questioned? I know I don't. I can question a decision. I can walk out and leave. This may be unfair of me, or it may be the best decision to avoid a confrontation over...

    No 5e threads for now, please

    Open up a few threads and it just might happen. And then where would you be? Damping down the inferno you wanted to prevent? Doesn't seem to be that much of a dilemma to me. A few weeks, or months without the subject won't cause any real harm as far as I know, and it's not like there's...

    What are the no-goes for you?

    Well, for me, it's not a matter of wanting to do it, but a matter of experience with them making it one of the things I feel necessary to change. Including one case where one person slept around with several persons involved in the group. Not good. (And no, I wasn't involved myself, I was...

    [Star Wars] What if the Empire Won?

    Well, he did! That's just plain common sense. But I don't see how that matters to any of the rest.

    What are the no-goes for you?

    I can concur with this one! Even music channels can do it.

    Ok, so how was Luskan not like the Luskan of the book you read? I've never played Neverwinter Nights myself, so I don't know what it's like in Luskan either. (And sigh, it seems none of us have any commonality in game experiences) Some people don't like how sandcastles wash away, and...

    What are the no-goes for you?

    Actually, this is all too possible. So let's not joke about it, thank you.

    Do You Like "Consolation Prize" Mechanics?

    They work for me. I'm cool with them in general. In specific I may or may not agree.

    What are the no-goes for you?

    So I was thinking, what things cause people not to play in some games? My personals include: Drinking alcoholic beverages or smoking at games. Having romantic relationships between players/GMs Playing longer than scheduled. I'm sure there's others, but those are my three. Try not to make...

    Forked Thread: Describing a setting in 12 bullet points - Spelljammer

    Don't tell my naval war gaming friends! They'll keelhaul you! (Me, I play fast and loose with the WizKids game.)

    Let's discuss 6e!

    Why is everybody worried about posting before the thread is locked? Don't you have a time machine so you can reply to things at any time you want?

    Help Me Stat the Roman Legions

    Never! It shall not be allowed! But more seriously, it depends on a couple of things. First, your game world, how magical is it, and how realistic do you want the Legion? Second, what role will the PC's have with the legion? Allies? Enemies?

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    I meant the inclusion of canon characters such as Drizzt, Elminster and Cadderly. Do you think they were faithful representations that added to the game? The limitations of a computer game, and the problems of creating sequels when you've got multiple possible endings are something I've...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Or there might not, if you're simply ignoring or not experiencing such behavior even though it happens. It might be easier to point out if I were somehow able to stand over you and watch everything you've done, and show you the examples, but as I said before, that's simply not feasible. All I...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    It's an analogy. Not a strawman. It's mean to illustrate what I mean so that we can understand each other more clearly, rather than to advance an argument. Please examine it under those terms, thank you. See if it helps you better to look it like that. If it doesn't, then please tell me...

    Can a creature be neither an enemy nor an ally?

    I would say that if the Death Knight turned against the PC's, in particular the Paladin, it'd become an enemy and lose all the benefits automatically. Assuming it's not some god of treachery involved, or the god didn't favor the DK's cause.

    Let's discuss 6e!

    You've got to come with me! Doc? Where? BACK to the FUTURE! We've got to save 5th edition! Quick, where's your used coffee grains....:angel: Now why isn't there a Delorean smiley?

    [Star Wars] What if the Empire Won?

    The Death Star versus the Squid Star....fight! Actually I have no idea what the YV ships looked like, but that's the idea.

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Yeah, let's not demonize people here. Please? Perhaps you meant this as a joke, but you left out a smiley, so I don't know. I do find the joke in exceptionally poor taste however, so it really doesn't matter. And I certainly can imagine people acting that way to screw with people's heads in...

    Forgotten Realms "Canon Lawyers"

    Except the problem may not be what you think it is. Imagine you complain about being hot, so you turn down the thermostat. Now I'm cold. Why? Perhaps one of us is wearing a parka and the other in his skivies. Perhaps one of is a walrus, and the other a tortoise. Ok, so the former is a...
