Yes, that was one of the weirder entries... (In case you are wondering, he was referring to this entry).

Do we even know for a fact that it was RPG designers who were fired from WotC? Just curious.

Well, I bought Wii Fit as well. It was either that or buy Spore. And I don't have the time to play Spore. Or rather, if I'm playing Computer/Video games, I need to at least justify it with some sort of real benefit... At the moment, I'm sticking to aerobic exercises and balance games - I have...

That would cost extra money, and this sounds to me like just asking to bump into other things in the room...

Build a new world from the ashes of the old. The odds are that many of the old rulers have been killed or weakened by the crisis. So, who are the people going to look to for leadership? That's right, the PCs. After all, they are heroes to the entire world, and if they were able to defeat the...

Well, I've managed to reach the Pro level in the Tennis game of Wii Sports (with 1 kg wrist weights attached to my arms during the whole process), and my opponents at that level are beginning to slaughter me...

He is locked in a mystical battle to prevent the Portal of Doom from opening even further - without him, the invasion would already have overrun the world. But this takes up his entire concentration, and he can't win. Sooner or later, his concentration is going to slip - and then we are all...

Not exactly something out of a game, but my small but growing list of Nightmare Fuel on the Arcana Wiki might help. Feel free to tell me of any other real life material you found disturbing.

I ask the players: "Your characters have the power to change the world. So just how do they plan to change the world?" This is part of the whole premise of Exalted - which I am currently GMing, and which has been a real education to me. In "saving the world" scenarios, the PCs are basically...

Which monsters listed in the 4E MM are, in your opinion, too powerful or too weak for their level? I'll start. In my short test one-shots, the one critter that was far too powerful for its level was the needlefang drake swarm. Its "pull down" power is devastatingly powerful, especially if the...

Hey! I plugged my wiki first! :p

<blatant plug> If you are interested in exploring these different cultures, then why not write some entries for them in the Arcana Wiki? That's what it is for, after all - among other reasons... </blatant plug>

I think multi-racial communities are fairly easy to justify. After all, pretty much every major trade city throughout history had foreigners' enclaves. In fact, justifying why those enclaves don't exist in a particular trade city may be harder. And, as I've said, the decreased story potential...

Higher to-hit bonuses? If you are unable to hit them, you won't be able to kill them. And the weapon proficiency and enchantment boni do make a difference...

In my test one-shots, I made clear which enemies the minions were from the start. And the PCs really enjoyed cutting them down. And it wasn't unimportant - after all, every minion increased the odds of the enemies being able to flank the PCs, increased their changes of dealing attacks of...

I don't know, but I haven't gotten a notice that I'm leveling up - so it can't be too much...

And once you are "in the system" so to speak (for example, when you conscientiously pay fees for your radio), they will send you threatening letters every few months reminding you that you have to register and pay for a television as well. And they include self-addressed envelopes with the...

Presumably that "you" stands for "high-powered adventurer", since these modes of transportations are unlikely to be cheaply available in most fantasy settings. And fast modes of transportation available for an elite few don't change as much as close physical proximity for everyone. If they are...

What do you mean, "just"? That lack of distance radically changes the dynamics of such a setting. Interaction between the different quarters is constant and unavoidable. Isolation is not possible. And any crisis that affects one part of the population can immediately spread to others. Anyone...

True, we can do it otherwise... but what would be the point? Mono-racial communities will likely exclude a portion of the party from the ability to interact with the natives. Totally integrated and assimilated communities, on the other hand, arbitrarily limit the potential for role-playing - if...
