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.

Though some disagree: "I don't think it is true! As a kid, I had created a whole big imaginary world where I imagined billion different things. However, in the context of the present world, I turned out to be a fairly mediocre person."

Aren't elaborate, magical & imaginary worlds also an indicator of a future sociopathic serial-killer/mass-murderer??

"He could've been anything your honor, at the age of 8 he could've been the next MAR Barker, the next Terry Brooks, or even...even the next Ed Greenwood.  He was that brilliant, your honor. Instead, he threw it all away just for the pleasure of hacking 23 overweight cosplayers to death with a bec-de-corbin!"

You can also come up with something that is not only original and creative and artistic, but also maybe even decent, or moral if I can use words like that, or something that\'s like basically good -Lester Bangs

Actually, no.  Psychopaths are known to make poor decisions often, precisely because they lack imagination.
