    RPGs vs. Psychology: character sheets

    I don't understand. Are you competing against your party members, or as a team against whatever is trying to blow up the world this week ?

    What Would Happen If (Almost) Nobody Paid for RPGs?

    Who turned it political. I am discussing a SOCIOECONOMIC paradigm shift. That has absolutely nothing at all to do with how a government or any country is run.

    What Would Happen If (Almost) Nobody Paid for RPGs?

    Under the current economic model for the rest of the world if any one portion switched to all free content, my guess is that it would be bad and the hobby would die. If however the world as a whole switched the economic model we are living under it would IMHO be better (sorry rockstars and tv...

    Looks vs. Functionality

    Pretty much the same for me. In pen and paper I tend to play rogue/sneaky/espionage types so in games where magic items/spells exist that alter appearance it just makes sense that I seek them out.

    Why DON'T you pirate?

    Except that we can't prove a sale of anything has been lost. In fact according to how most people on enworld (a fairly decent sample I would say) Did not, and would not pirate. I take them at their word on this as I find no reason not to. The people that did download the PDFs likely never would...

    Why DON'T you pirate?

    Najo implied that it mattered because of lack of support for the industry or some such I was refuting that claim with that statement. and well most of that post. Yes a hundred times yes in each of those cases I have taken something from you. You no longer possess or control it and I do. Heck...

    Why DON'T you pirate?

    Except that, of course, we can't ever know what effect PDF piracy has on actual print copies being sold. Amongst my group of peers downloading PDFs of products not yet bought more than 75% of the time leads to the hard copy purchased at the FLGS (so no amazon discount) The other 25% of the time...

    Why DON'T you pirate?

    If you park your car, and I then go to your car and steal it, you can no longer drive your car because I am in posession of it and you are not. There was only one car and now you are deprived of it's use because I have physically taken it from you. If you park your car, and I go to your car and...

    What Makes a Good Player?

    Have a backstory that has a few different plot hooks the DM can use at his leisure. Don't be an orphan from a village that was razed, no I don't much care who did the razing.

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    According to some people in key positions, holding degrees from very respected universities, yes a small subset is a valid sample. We were shown through the actions of 50% of the black dragons who's actions we could measure that there would be revenge coming and it would be the escalating kind...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    In the desert on earth assuming as the first premise did that help can be contacted then help is also much closer. any military and most hospitals/police departments should be able to get to someone well with 24 hours which according to the information I was quickly able to fish up is how long...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    We have only seen any kind of actions , upon which to base conclusions from 2 the YABD and the ABD. The ABD was appropriately smug through most of the encounter that I would have to think she didn't think to ask any family members aid. After all she was superior in intellect, cunning, had...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    There exists an island (desert or otherwise) somewhere in the world where you can get a message to a rescuer and they can't get help to you within (number of days you have water for) + 3 days ?

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    Except that there was in fact necessity involved in killing the family members of the ABD. We had just had proved to us that as far as ancient black dragons go they enjoy the whole vengeance shtick and coming at their enemies through the things they care about rather than a frontal assault. In...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    I find the protection offered to their citizens to be good. I am quite likely not as well educated on the functionings of all the aspects Roman society as you are so all I will say on that matter is I find it odd that I am being chastised for predicting future action based on examples of past...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    Perhaps not but they do seem to find themselves in "key positions" 1) It provides the kind of protection mentioned in my west wing quote. If you knew that should you harm one hair on the head of a citizen of country X that there was a darn good chance the full unbridled might of country X...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    And I submit to you and others that in the Case of "V Vs Black Dragon Clan" there was already escalation taking place the ABD went after V's family instead of V. I suppose V just should have rolled over and played dead, not bothered saving her family at all, because even had she stopped there...

    Was V's act evil? (Probable spoilers!)

    The two words and the quote are from the west wing, and I'll eat a "mea culpa" on the ACTUAL quote being Civis Romanus Sum but I only found that out after researching the west wing quote. And no I am not saying V's response was proportional not in the slightest I don't know how close to the...

    Yup he (I) helped and ummmmm "associated" with a succubus.
