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.

Who else would you like to see join RPGsite?

Wakshaani

Quote from: Christmas ApeI'm quite interested in what the Wak plays, in fact. From what I've read the Wak seems like a smart, if bizarre, dude.

Though am I incorrect in my usage? I'd been lead to believe that the proper form of address is "the Wak", like "the Dude". :D

Well, I tend to not talk about it much, strangely enough. It just never comes up.

Lessee.

D&D 3.5, Shadowrun, Champions, and Torg are the biggies, but I also dip a toe into Werewolf, Gamma World, Noir, and a bunch of older stuff that's been sitting on a shelf, unloved, for years. (TMNT, I'm looking right at you.)

I've also done tabletop stuff for, man. Erm. Let's just say "Since teh 70's" and leave it at that. Battletech was the traditional big one, but these days it's mostly Warmachine, with both Warhammer 40K and Fantasy being active in the past.

I've kicked around writing stuff for pretty much all of the above, from an entire timeline reboot and storyline for Battletech to trying to do a city for Shadowrun to ... well, anything, really. I've teh terrible problem of being super-prolific but easily distracted by shiney objects and never *finish* anything.

Damn shame, as some of them I *really* need to.

Still hoping to be president, but, going smaller for now, shooting for city council next year. Our local state senator will be leaving office in five years, at which point teh current rep will try for her job. When he does, I'll be trying for *his* job. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Uhm.

I think that's it for now.

What *is* this place, anyway? Jong invited me and he drips with good Karma, so, here I am, but he kinda sorta neglected to tell me what the place was, so....

Uh... caveat emptor? :D

At its heart, theRPGsite is a gaming forum, with a strong focus on "traditional" or "old-school" games, and very light moderation--with all that this can mean. There are lots of people you will like (including many familiar faces), and some that you probably won't (ditto). Don't let the latter discourage you, though. :)

Again, good to have you here.

Roleplaying never comes up on rpg.net?

We must have gone to different rpg.nets.

It's a place where we talk about rpgs. Those who post only in Off-Topic will no doubt be mocked ruthlessly. I look forward to it :p

We talk about RPGs and apparently about the volume/taste of semen.

And this is why I have a shrine to you in my flat.

By the way, Emma and I are hoping to be in Madrid around the middle of April, are you?

I will be around here with a 90% chance. Drop me an email with the dates if visiting so we can arrange something.

Dude always seemed pretty calm to me.

Yes! Get the man over here! Zomben would be a great addition to the forums (as an aside, what was he banned for?).

In short?

Called someone on perceived and likely bullshit, then back-talked the mods.

He'd be perfect here.

Must have been some major bs, he always seemed pretty even going to me as well.  Hopefully he will stop by soon and enjoy the place.

Take care Nothingland. You were always one of the most ridiculously good-looking sites on the internets, and the web too. I\'ll miss you.  -"Derek Zoolander MD" at a site long gone.

Balbinus

Somebody was being a dick, he gave them a deserved kicking, got a mod warning and rather unwisely dared them to ban him.  They did for a month, so he PMed them and told them to permaban him, so they did.

I think it was a last straw thing, my impression was he was just tired of the moderation which is partly why I thought he'd be happier here.
