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.

Why do you get so involved with this twitter nonsense? What do you gain from it?

Fame, sales, reputation, the lamentations of my enemies.

Quote from: CRKrueger;1029656A day spent writing how to summon angels via the Key of Solomon for DA/L&D would have been much more productive.

I already did that. It's one of the RPGPundit Presents issues.

Though mind you, since that's just an extension of the Summoning Rules ALREADY IN Dark Albion and Lion & Dragon, it's way less interesting than the other "grimoire" books I've put in the RPGPundit Presents series.

You'd have known that if you actually had any of the books mentioned.

Quote from: waltshumate;1029657They reason why people like Adam Koebel  want to  jam door jammed wide open to anyone who self identifies as a gamer, is the same reason the left are so fond of mass illegal immigration.

Pretty much, just on a much smaller scale for smaller stakes. But the end goal is the same; for 'community' to have no coherent meaning so no one has a sense of genuine unity. Makes it easier to rule over the mob.

Quote from: Azraele;1029881It's so crazy dude; here I've been, gaming and enjoying the hobby for years. And all this time, it was up to your personal recognition of my "identity as a gamer" that I could be an actual part of the real hobby. Who knew you did me such violence?

Nope, it's not up to me. It's up to basic objective reality: If you game you're a gamer. If you do not game you are not a gamer.

Touché! :D

I play on average about 14 hours/week at least (6-9 hours online games & 5-8 hours tabletop), but I probably do spend longer than that on forums!

I said Angels via the Key of Solomon not Demons via the Goetia.

... Yeah, that was. That was sarcasm dude. Hence my second, clarifying line (punchline, if you will)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Then I'm sure someone will come along claiming that those are the same thing. :rolleyes:

Battle doesn\'t need a purpose; the battle is its own purpose. You don\'t ask why a plague spreads or a field burns. Don\'t ask why I fight.

Maybe. Who cares. You'd have to be the pettiest of petty assholes to worry about it. Let alone spends days online arguing about it.

So don't be petty?

Quote from: mAcular Chaotic;1030909That's actually a good analogy.

Not really as they actually play games.
