[QUOTE="Kesh, post: 1379379, member: 1308"] Yes, and no. There are a few posts that are staples of any gaming community: [list] [*]Music for gaming [*]Inspiration (the "weird events" thread, or "stuff from the news" thread or "books in the genre" thread) [*]"What novels/suppliments should I read to learn about setting X?" (most commonly Dragonlance or FR) [*]"X got the shaft!" [*]"X is overpowered!" [*]Best/worst gaming moments [*]Best/worst players/DMs [*]The "new edition" speculation threads [*]The complaints about newly released editions/revisions to said game [*]"How do I play the game [i]correctly[/i]?" or "The other players aren't gaming right, how do I change them?" (aka role-play vs. roll-play threads) [*]"Don't buy from company X, they're bad people!" (aka boycott threads) [*]"Game X / Setting X is dead, why do you still play it?" (can be done constructively or in a flamebait manner) [*]"Let's bring back game X / setting x!" [*]"I hate game X / setting X" (for various reasons... usually flamebait, not always) [/list] Those are the most common recycled threads I see. For the record, I've been on EN World for three versions of the boards, since 3e was just a rumor. I remember playing an online one-shot as a gnome cleric of Garl Glittergold with a mace, for one reason: that was the only race, class, god and weapon we had solid numbers on to play with. :D [/QUOTE]
