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'd you choose the rpgsite?

Honestly, Grubman's post on the "other place" led me here.

After looking around and seeing the wonderful candor here , I saw a wee bit of the "other place" which I had missed for quite a while and wished to join in.

I mean, how many "oh, my keetoms needs hugs," (not to mention "game of the month X") threads do you really need to see before reaching critical mental mass and wind up some twitching 'tard on the floor reaching for your woobie and sucking down Ensure when the nurse offers it up to you on her way through the ward, internetically (wha?!?) speaking.

Okay, perhaps I'm too harsh, but you get what I mean.  I wanna hear honest-to-God adult talk, that's all.
I start from his boots and work my way up. It takes a good half a roll to encompass his jolly round belly alone. Soon, Father Christmas is completely wrapped in clingfilm. It is not quite so good as wrapping Roy but it is enjoyable nonetheless and is certainly a feather in my cap.

"other place"  you can say it, go on, RPG.net,
I know it's only two steps behind voldermort, but it an't gonna bite

Any way the people I can deal with my self, it's the f***ing mods that have wrecked the place (the latest in the stoopid being d20 getting it's own forum) I mean these guys onced even banned John Wick and Jared Sorensen,

this place seems better in that way, but I do miss the scope that comes with more people

.... looking for gamer-themed food ideas. Something more healthy than the usual junk food pile, and something that didn't take up much time to make.

So far it's been things like home-made nacho pile (made on a cookie sheet), various soups & stews etc. Not too bad, but I'd like to do something else:

1. not too messy (precarious balance of plates, dice, sheets etc..)
2. not too much work to make (make way ahead or takes 10 min maybe?)
3. game-themed (we're doing D&D)


What made me stay was the great welcome I got. People responded to my first post in thoughtful manner, and being able to have that wealth of advice/perspective has helped my decision-making process.

Every forum has its own flavor. Some I like. Some I don't.

I actually joined way back when this was just spoony's gig and it was mostly "NTLers talking about their personal gaming preferences." That didn't do much for me and I didn't post much.

Nowadays, I find the audience a strange mix. Though I obviously have less love for OD&D/RC/C&C than some of you fruitcakes do, I generally get the sense that there's not to many folks here that, as JArcane sig puts it, feel like White Wolf or Ron saved gaming. There's too many folks on some other forums I frequent who seem to fall into one or the other of those categories.

Here's my website. It's defunct, but there's gaming stuff on it. Much of it's missing. Sorry.

I've got a blog. Do you read other people's blogs? I dunno. You can say hi if you want, though, I don't mind company. It's not all gaming, though; you run the risk of running into my RL shit.

That true,
I think it help the forum vibe though if the mods arn't a bunch of smurf fu*king dickheads,

 Ciado,
 Did you ever see the "Gamer Food" thread that I started awhile back on here?

I chose The RPG site because it gave me a backrub, a root beer and a $10.00 bill.

I spent the bill on hot wings.

Mmm.  Hotwings.

I wish I had some normal Frank's RedHot, I could make some.  Or at least some chicken with buffalo sauce on it.

I only have the chile lime variety, which is good, but tastes completely different.  It's more like concentrated salsa in a bottle.
