Yeah, I'd say it does.

Juvenile idiocy is all-inclusive; it's snagged "gay", too. Eventually, all words should have some prurient or slangy second meaning. The question is, will that point arrive before the Nostalgia Singularity?

TVTropes has a page for D&D, that might be a place to start. (Insert standard TVTropes warning here.)

What are they links to? Other threads? The layout of ENWorld has changed, IIRC, so some threads to the old site need to be updated, or just won't work. For example, in this post, Terraism's sig has this link: enworld.cyberstreet.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=35100 That version of ENWorld is a...

FWIW, I think I'd call billd91's game a campaign. I'd even say a collection of completely unrelated one-offs could be a campaign. Bill's One-Shots Campaign or whatever. OTOH, the two D&D campaigns I ran in Greyhawk were separate campaigns, not part of some universal Greyhawk Campaign, nor the...

Ooh, I wish I had the money to buy some (or all) of those. I want more (semi-)modern prepainted minis.

Break out the Ouija board!

I may have to change my status -- "smackin' dragons, yo."

I would totally be down to try it, but money is tight now (see status), and there are other games I'd like to talk people into trying more than 4e (SW, Dresden Files, etc.) that I already own.

Three times in one fight, IIRC. Playing GURPS, so those were all critical failures. For a while, with that same GURPS character, I was really good at critically hitting with headbutts, of all things. Then there was my fighter in the most recent D&D game -- playing Age of Worms, I think I was...

IIRC, Marvel's Asgard was designed by Jack Kirby -- of course it's going to be kind of weirdly technological looking.

Yeah, it used to be in the username dropdown menu, but it hasn't been there in a while.

If you like demons & devils, then in addition to the Book of Fiends, WotC's Fiendish Codex I & II are good books, too.

I liked all of the Tome of Horrors books (I, II, & III). ToH I had a 3.5e revision, though I think it was only PDF. Green Ronin's Advanced Bestiary is a book of templates, but they let you make some really interesting critters; Paizo's used it a few times in their adventures, IIRC. Most of...

Well, true -- if the IF is never true, then the THEN will never occur. That makes it a pointless test. For efficiency, it should be excised; no use wasting process cycles on unneeded tests. That way lies bloatware.

Probably not; there are other RPG things I'd rather spend my suddenly limited funds on. Plus, the primary reasons I don't play 4e are that (a) I'm a bit tired of certain D&Disms, and (b) nobody in my circle of gamers wants to play 4e. (a) isn't changing, and I don't think (b) is either.

But he (or you, or anyone who is not me or [maybe] my friends) don't really know what my expectations are; saying I want my RPG games to be like an awesome movie doesn't tell you the specifics of how that desire can be met for me. If one doesn't share that expectation, how can one know what it...

That's what we have the Internet for, thankfully. :) Well, that, and porn, I guess. Ari, I second Cutter's call for hearing/reading more about the game.

Eh, I don't know about that. Sagiro's, Piratecat's, & Fajitas' storyhours are pretty close to being my ideal of a D&D campaign, and they seem more book/movie/TV-ish than, say, descriptions of others' self-described sandbox games. <shrug> I don't think you can accurately predict how others, whom...

That hasn't happened IME, so I haven't been disappointed by that. Besides, with my players, it's usually either they make the impossible saves, and/or miss horribly. :) It would be very unlikely for such things to happen every time, too, but I assume "forever" was just hyperbole...
