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.

Did we lose level titles?

I really liked that feature, especially since I had reached Duke.

Yes, but so is almost everything that is cool.

Bring them back!  I hadn't hit name level yet!  I was really looking forward to that.

I have never played in a game with level titles and to be frank find it a bit odd that someone should begin being adressed "Duke" or "Count" or whatever just because they hit Level 8 or whatever.

That said, however, I do think D&D-esque games with levels should have a descriptor attached to levels (or level intervals) to players and the GM an idea of exactly how much experience (as in real-life, not numerical XP) the average NPC of that level has.

You know, terms like Off-the-farm, initiate, apprentice, professional, veteran, hardened veteran, master, Best-in-the-land, etc, that do not necessarily imply nobility status.

How can I continue to suck the life force out of my planet for my own selfish desires if I'm no longer a Dragon King of Athas?
