You're putting words in my mouth. I never said anything about closing the system. You can make a game that has no creative restraints without leaving mechanics unrestrained. I think this is where Next is headed and other games I've played work well without requiring a DM to participate in...

Gawd, I've had actual paying jobs that required less responsibility. And I think you've missed Mistake Zero. Don't design the game to require such level of responsibility from DMs. Or at least try not to. Plopping out book after book of new options and requiring the DMs to perform the stink...

There's still the social taboo. Ever notice people not being comfortable with adopted sons and daughters hooking up? It's because they were raised together as family, not for any biological reasons. I'm just waiting to see how Jerry handles this one...

We're just ignoring the "..and her cousin" part? M'okay...

Agreed. The majority of my years going to GenCon I purposefully stayed away from D&D for exactly this reason.

We didn't really have that problem, although it certainly existed for other tables. Some of it was in core, but alot showed up in prestige classes that gave no thought to balance at all. Instead of the original (very cool, IMO) concept they began as, they instead became Class+ (and occasionally...

If it's "don't get in shark-infested waters" I agree personally. But others are braver and interact with the rest of the world despite the danger. They shouldn't suffer for the acts of a hateful coward that isn't content to extol the virtues of his beliefs, but instead believes he must tear down...

I don't find it to inherently be a problem. I play a "normal" amongst demon-tainted, a revenant, a shaman, and a witch in our ongoing Supernatural game, but I have alot of fun playing my character. It becomes a problem when the players aren't having fun. No argument from me here. I'm glad...

AY666 FROM: 13:20 COPENHAGEN KASTRUP APT (CPH) TO: HELSINKI (HEL) 15:55 I would. Always wanted to visit Finland. But flight 666 to Hel(l) on Friday the 13th certainly sounds like a fun setup for a modern horror game. :devil:

Which is why I have no issues with authorities stopping him. Because what he's doing is chumming the waters while you are taking a swim.

While I agree with you sentiment, I've always thought of the latter as just "good play." To me, System Mastery is a specific phenomenon that revolves around using and/or abusing synergies within the character build rules. Those rules are completely removed from actual in-game play. You might...

You and I know the answer, but we're now delving into people actually dying, not hurt feelings on he internet. To be clear, I have no problem with the original joke. I don't think anyone has the right to regulate what is offensive. But the book burnings lead to real attacks. Not just rioting...

Agreed. That's debatable. Certainly many people place a direct causal link between his actions and violence. Yes. Child pornography is a good example. Snuff films another. Yelling "FIRE!" in a movie theater. And if this man's actions can be linked directly to the safety risk of soldiers and...

Have you guys checked out EnWorld's sister site Circvs Maximvs? From what I've seen of the site it might be more to your taste.

Trying to get you shut down is not infringement, IMO. Actually getting you shut down is more complicated, as I've tryed to type my response 4-5 times now and I don't feel I can convey my thoughts well enough via post.

Not really. If they were lobbying to get your "watermelon hate" site taken down and banned from all forms of media, that would be trying to silence your speech. Just telling others not to listen to you is not. Those people still have the opportunity to listen to you. Now, the negative means...

Then you and I should par-tay! (Oh no! Now someone will smack me for using party as a verb! :.-( ) That is an example of someone not understanding the commonly used term. People that started using the term gish new full well what it meant and applied it to any Fighter/Wizard build. Apples and...

TOP TEN REASONS IT CAUSES HIM CONSTERNATION: 10) Because he'd rather we all still speak the proto-language from the dawn of our species. 9) Because his DM has always had a "say no" attitude and he wants things his way for once. 8) One word: Constipation. 7) Because he lacks the context that...

Thanks Willow!

I was commenting on Gish, not Magus. But "D&D terms" would probably apply there as well.
