SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Justin Alexander;663455Here's the two rules of thumb I'd suggest:

(1) Try to avoid saying "never" or "can't". Shutting off a possibility is almost never as much fun as leaving that possibility open.

Can you give some eamples of this? I think I know what you mean but not 100% certin and it seems like an important point. If I do understand, I tend to avoid writing in absolutes when it comes to setting (mechnics are a different story).

History of the Universe going back to creation to now.  

Unless that all matters to the character's immediate setting/ situation (like they are scions of deities) does it make any difference?

Just give me "now" with a little historical background about what happened "then" and how it impacts now.
