Damnit, ninja'd by Robin, now it looks like my comments were meant for him, I guess thats what I get for not using the 'quote' button.

Don't worry about it silver.
Jhaelen is simply bitter and needs to bait and troll us in order to feel better.

Well, there is a fair number of us, and we did sort of just show up and make ourselves at home, so I can understand some people getting a little miffed by that. I just want everyone to know that we're not actually as bad as we make ourselves out to be.

And might I suggest, Robin, that your original reply to Jhaelen, while more strongly worded than I'd like, was more than adequate to make your point, and the next one was really just piling on. Once you've made your point, there's not a lot of reason to keep coming back to the well.

Hello OTTers

17 pages arguing/discussing arguing/discussing....impressive.

Right the OP is about asking questions so....

What D&D stuff do you lot play? Are you all into 1e, 2e, 3e, 4e or a mix?

Do you game together in real life?

with regard to the mudslinging and issues with mods and stuff...

To allow yourselves complete freedom to discuss what you like and how you like have you not considered starting up your own forum? Seems like a win win to me...you get to play around in a style you are comfortable with without 'regulars' getting the hump with your different approach?

I don't really have much of an opinion about any of this, just having a peep at the current big topics on the site whilst bored. Coming from a totally ignorant position the only thing I would add if you want to gain better acceptance on these forums (as seems to be the point of the olive branch style OP) it might be a good idea to avoid certain language...I found the repeated use of the word Rape by Goldomark in particular to be in poor taste. I am NOT trying to start an argument about it though...just an observation, take it or leave it

perhaps you should simply continue to ignore us, or us the report function, instead of baiting and trolling us like you are doing in your post above.

While he may have been impolitic in his post, perhaps you should take your own advice and ignore him or use the report function instead of calling him a troll? Your regular outraged martyr act is generally far worse than anything you're responding to; please knock it off.

But I get it. You are a "regular" so you are allowed to act that way with no repercussions.
Yeah, we are starting to get the feel of how thinks work around here.

See above.

I cant speak for everybody, but I personally play D&D, various editions, depending on who's DMing. I ussually run 4e when its my turn. Used to play all sorts of stuff, World of Darkness, Rifts, Chill, just to name a few, just dont have the time for it like I used to, kids and a job and all that. So pretty much been stickin with the D&D, although the 3.5/Pathfinder guy I play with has been talking about getting a Star Wars game goin, He's checked out the latest system and seems to really like it, so we'll see what happens.

And no, none of us has ever gamed together in real life as far as I know, but we've been talking about having an OTTer get together for a few years now.

We have talked about just making our own forum, but we decided it would get pretty boring just talking amongst ourselves, we need other people to argue with damnit!!

And yes we all need to work better at getting along, and when I say "we all" I dont just mean OTTers.

I remember playing Chill when I was a kid, the older edition, not Mayfair. They actually recently re-released that old edition again, filed off the serial numbers and gave it a new name. I've got it in my PDF folder somewhere. Now I need a chance to play it!

I sent you a PM about this issue.

Hell yeah, Chill was pretty fun, we played the old Pacesetter version as well, I still got a few of those books layin around here somewheres. Ive never checked out the Mayfair version, but kool that theyre putting out the originals again, I may have to check that out. The guy that used to run it was really into all the old black & white dracula and frakenstein movies so we had a lot of fun with it.
