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: gleichman;654583I have fond memories of Space Opera. And Star Patrol. And Star Trek: Adventure Gaming in the Final Frontier.

All replaced by HERO System. But still, fond memories.

The problem with Space Opera wasn't that it was a bad game. It was a good game. In fact, it was about five or six good games. Once you get rid of the games you don't want to play, what was left looked pretty good. We didn't play it much, because I never had time to computerize character generation, though.

Space opera is a bit clunky, but has a TON of personality.

So you're saying that Space Opera is the fat chick at the senior prom?

Blatant sexism will not be tolerated.  Unless you happen to be an attractive guy.  Then mockery is allowed.
D&D is not an "everyone gets a ribbon" game.  If you\'re stupid, your PC will die.  If you\'re an asshole, your PC will die (probably from the other PCs).  If you\'re unlucky, your PC may die.  Point?  PC\'s die.  Get over it and roll up a new one.

Yeah, check your thin privilege, bigot.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;654546Maybe I should create an RPG that requires proficiency in knowing how to factor polynomials and finding y intercepts just to create a character ;)

Well, if popular culture depictions of gamers from 80s are to be trusted, you will strike a goldmine.
Furthermore, I consider that  This is Why We Don\'t Like You thread should be closed
