Because Alias did it well! :D J.J...*does the "call me" gesture*

I'm not a fan of giving deities stats, myself, outside of perhaps avatars. It seems to be causing you undue stress, so I'll offer a suggestion: take the stats as presented and use them as avatars of the EEEs. You could do the same with deities. A second suggestion might be to just ignore the...

Yes, stay out of it. Don't use it as a proxy for your own relationships. You can offer him advice, but that's as far as you should go. By "stepping in" and talking to *his* girlfriend, you're only allowing him to continue acting in the way you don't like. In that way, you're a big part of the...

Isn't that implied by the normal rules, though? You're always free to change anything you want for your game. Let me ask you this, are you saying you wanted us to present stats for the EEE at CR 70 or 80 or so? Or are you saying they should not have had stats at all? I'm happy you liked the...

CoR is a player-oriented book. While there is a ton of info for DMs in there...the multitude of statted NPCs is probably the most praised part of the book...most of the writing focuses on how to play evil in the Realms. The organizational writeups, for instance, focus on what it's like to be a...

I can't believe you want me to burn in hell!!!! :( :D Seriously, my beef in this thread has never been about personal comments, so don't sweep me up in GMS's discussion. I'm focused only on incorrect criticisms of the works themselves. I have no problem with legitimate criticisms...I think...

And, even though I would disagree with the decision, it is within any DM's power to have his PCs destroy Izrador. I understand people's expectations, for sure, I just don't think it's rational to judge a product by them. (I could see an argument for that with a rehash of an old setting, but not...

Yeah! :cool: :cool: :cool: Hey, I like you better when you aren't reviewing my products. What? :D

Civility is its own reward, my good Colonel! :p

I'm not taking anything personally, I'm just not sure you're arguing the same thing I am. I'm saying campaign settings, by their very nature, do not establish winnable scenarios. They are settings, not adventures. You saying that you can create adventures that are winnable doesn't change the...

Of course. I said earlier adventures are written to be "beaten," while campaign settings are not. ;) Nowhere in Midnight is the promise of defeating Izrador even hinted at, much less stated as a goal of the product. That's what I'm trying to correct...there is no promise there. :)

In my experience, writers and designers handle criticism of their work better than internet badasses handle criticism of their complaints. :)

Nobody's talking about rights, but retards. Just because you have a ticket doesn't mean you aren't a retard. Reasonable or intelligent criticism is good, unreasonable or unintelligent criticism deserves to be mocked. (And misguided criticism deserves attention, discussion, and correction...

Good lord, I've started an internet rumor! :D Only the San Marcos location is going out of business, all the rest are fine. www.dlair.net

I don't believe settings establish villains to be overcome; adventures do that.

Ok.

No, but ranting irrationally about one for pages on end just makes you an internet kook.

That's what I was thinking. :) But, one thing I can't do is make people smarter. :uhoh:

I've read a WHOLE lot of "What is an RPG" blurbs in my time, and I can't think of one that says "RPGs are a game with a winner and a loser." In fact, I can't think of one that *didn't* say "RPGs aren't a game with a winner and a loser." So when I hear "Midnight can't be beat" it makes me wonder...

Hero is doing that, I don't know if HARP is too. Hero has one of the longest-lived and most popular game lines in history, and I doubt that strategy is able to support more than a couple of full time employees. The scale is just too small. As for the price point, MSRP is the only measure by...
