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?

I am interested to see that one way or another I've recommended this place to others. I guess that means Darren MacLennan, Eric Brennan (Future Villain Band), and Patrick O'Duffy won't be here any time soon - dunno why droog showed up, then.

I guess it's impossible to be online for several years and not make some enemies... unless you're Dr Rotwang, of course.

Edit: oh, and I'm here because I like talking about rpgs.

I'm a purple emigre who really loves 90% of the converations here. Although I do believe in my sig's point about exercising a little tact and courtesy, I'm not a total wimp when it comes to talk that gets especially heated. I can take the good and the bad, and this is the internet for crying out loud.

Free discussion, having the ability to call someone out and for that matter to be called out, not having to put up with passive-aggressive crap.

Basically it's rpg.net circa 2000 or so, which I was fond of.

Also, the games that get discussed here are ones that people are actually playing, all too often at rpg.net the discussion is about games hardly anyone is playing.  Here if I wanted tips about my d20 Star Wars* game I wouldn't get people telling me to convert it to SotC or Dogs, I'd get some decent d20 tips.

I still like TBP though, it wouldn't annoy me if I weren't fond of it.


*I know I'm not a d20 Star Wars fan, I just thought it a good hypothetical example.

To soothe my soul.

I can open any other general forum, and fits of righteous anger and adventurist fury overcome me in short time.

Most fuckers who talk about several systems, instead of a single one, don´t have a clue or any deeper understanding of the hobby from the table side.
I do.

Others do.

Here we who are  enlightened can convene and blast the unbelievers, shitheads, poopmunchers & wannabes into oblivion, as they rightfully deserve.

The beer is also good here.

EDIT: Some of the others also have superiour insight into the hobby from the designer and "industry" side that I lack. This is a bonus to my personal journey for amassing unseen amounts of gaming wisdom.

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.

I came here because I, too, liked RPG.net circa 2000.  This place is very similar, but different enough, to be awesome.

Also, it's nice to not have to worry about any RPG theory being correct.  As James J Skach mentioned, any theory here is open to debate...and lively debate usually.

I really like it here!

I'm here because 75% of the people posting on Traveller boards possess the emotional range, the intellectual curiosity, and the capacity for sheer enthusiasm whether positive or negative, of an average sea cucumber.

I came for the gaming discussion, but I must admit that I stay for both the gaming discussion and the sheer hilarious spectacle of people occasionally going completely bat-shit insane in public discussions.  Now that's entertainment! :keke:

 Thank you . You just put into words why I never joined the CotI forums.

[delurk]I like reading some of the stuff here, even if I don't have much to add.  I never really did much at RPG.net, but instead frequent EN World and the True20 boards.  I like the discussions here, because sometimes I want to read about roleplaying games outside of D&D and True20.[/delurk]

When the blind stupid, misshapen, asymmetrical, amorphous blob came shlupping up to me, its acidic drool eating away at the concrete beneath it, and the noxious vapors gathering above its head it occurred to me, I need to find someplace where it can't find me.

Haven't found that refuge yet, but the antics of Christmas Ape and Dominous Nox keep the blob entertained, and curtail toxic waste production.

The experiments in post maturation socialization are fun too.

I will say that the GT boards actually seem more interesting than the rest, but as a non-G player I only visit them once in a blue moon.
