I think your heart is in the right place, but the way you get there is incorrect. First of all: Fewer women than men play DnD because: 1) DnD favors T competition more than F cooperation. (It has both, but T outweighs the F.) 2) More men than women favor T. (As per my previous post.) 3)...

Not a flame, but a comment: The game system is actually neutral on the moral relativist/absolutist scale. It is neither L or C. (J nor P, if you are familiar with Keirsey, MB stuff) Reason being: There are no absolute definitions for alignment. The descriptions of each type are vague to say...

Okay I wanted to post on this thread two days ago but my DSL went nuts during the formulation of my statement. Here is the post I wrote: This is definitely a T/F discussion. A couple of points: 1) It would anger me too if someone said that "All guys are T's." Being boxed like that is...

The reason why I hold to a more substantial projection for the population of the Earth is because these U.N. figures do not include the potential for science to expand the limits of this niche. Assuming that no scientific advances occur between now and 10 billion people, I'd agree that...

Re: Re: Re: Scientist=shaman=wizard? 9mm = command word item wand of MM = spell trigger Your example fails because a wand of magic missiles requires someone trained in its use. If you handed the average modern day thug a disassembled rocket launcher without instructions, that's about...

Of course! [B] I have no idea what you are talking about.

Yup, Chaotics can take pledges and oaths and whatever you want to call them. But when it comes down to it, they will only follow it if it suits the situation. They will not stick by the oath regardless of the circumstances. [B] I don't see how this is different from Lawfuls. [B] Yes...

If the population grows, then there are more wizards because the percentage of wizards in the populace stays the same. The amount of magic items continue to grow. I'm not saying the magic items must trickle down from the top, only that it can trickle down. If the powerful mages and...

Since I believe in everything...sure!

Never said it was. The point being that an Lawful character will always follow the Oath, a Chaotic character will sometimes follow the Oath, and a Neutral character will be either Lawful or Chaotic depending on which brings about the most Good. To a Chaotic Good character, the Oath looks like...

I believe in everything. I am an anti-agnostic, after all... ;)

Neither do I. [B] This is preparation. Not every ounce of preparation has to be finely wrought maps of painstaking detail. Most of the time, I write down a few plot hooks, jot down complex characters, print out a couple blank maps and make keys for them (just in case), and write out a rough...

Unlike the DMG, Transhuman space makes no claims about magical accuracy. Or do you not believe in magic? :)

According to the DMG, page 218, if I had 720 lbs. of gold, I could buy a magical headband that could improve my memory, increase my learning capacity, and allow me to reason with the capability of a supercomputer. Sounds quite reasonable to me. ;)

1) Life always expands into every available niche. 2) Science creates new niches. Hence why the population will not even out until science is unable to create new niches. Do you see the progress of science slowing down, let alone halting? If anything, science speeds up the higher the...

Nope. I don't get upset. Since I am in multiple games, have been playing this game since I was twelve, and use the excess to further contribute to the future publication of my game world. Why would I get upset? I would only get upset if I didn't like preparing my campaign world in the first...

Oh yeah, sorry. I slipped up on that one. Forgot the forum. Yeah so, uh the Class Calculator. Neat. Kinda. Neat. Yup. Neato. :) Seriously, the Class Engine is more useful for comparing Fighter BAB classes with low amounts of abilities. Comparing a Ranger, Barbarian, Paladin, and Fighter...

Uh...I adapt? I DM on the fly. That seems kind of obvious. I think you are just being obtuse by rationalizing your laziness. It makes sense that if a person can DM on the fly and is good at DMing on the fly, if they put some preparation into the game, it would make the gaming experience that...

Seriously, though. Quickdraw allows a character to draw a weapon as a free action. It doesn't matter if the greatsword is strapped to your back, the dagger is in your boot, or the shiruken are up you sleeve. I don't see how having multiple javelins in a quiver on your back is any less feasible...

There is also the danger that I will subconsciously pee on the gaming table, since I have no free will, and no ability to choose any sort of actions in my predetermined existence. I'm not that worried though, hasn't happened yet. ;)
