Crowdsource the fee. It would be just as funny to watch people send money in to a Kickstarter Project allowing you to post to Something Awful as the posts would be.

I need to troll harder so that I can be a part of it all.

PROTIP: You should have a meltdown about how if 5e doesn't bring back alignment languages it isn't really an rpg.

Quote from: Pseudoephedrine;504495Poor Halloween Jack is too frightened of us over here, so he decided to complain about our "Modify Memory" discussion over on grognards.txt. That makes four or five times now I've been quoted there. As far as I can tell from a partial read, only Pundit has been quoted more often (though to be fair, many quotes lack attribution).

Jack, of course, doesn't have a very good imagination, so he thinks that Modify Memory means "rape" (he is, of course, complaining about rape on a board that filters the term to "surprise sex" so that he can clearly show how concerned he is about it). Presumably this is because he imagines that love = sex, or that curses have a proximity trigger of about ten feet, or that the magic is contained in the woman's vagina and that therefore Strahd's curse will only be shorted out when his penis is inserted into her magical vaginal terminal.

Dummy, you can do it anywhere, leave the girl there for the half-hour while you port over to kill Strahd, then restore her memories when you get back. L2P.

Pft, I am pretty positive that I was quoted AT LEAST THREE TIMES (read this as "Totally jelly of Pseudo's 5 times*). Besides we all know that all heterosexual sex is rape. Or at least some feminist in Sweden said so, so it must be true. So HJ was just another SA cunt? Shame.
Also - Hebrew as LE?

Do not post in this thread again.

Back on topic though (srsly Psedo, you are picking up Pundy's lashing out as you as serious stuff, that you derail the threads so much? ).

I thought that "redeemable" meant "playable" rather then as if to redeem the setting from being Grimdark.

Well, if you take it by canon, 40k is pretty much doomed - even if Chaos Gods are defeated, it'll mean doom for humanity, as interstellar travel'd be impossible.

If you don't take it by canon, then - hell yeah!

Edit: Oh, I also see that our friend Halabaloney Liar forgot to add that for example, I'd probably "punish" the players for their wicked actions of forcing the girl to love the vampire, by making them the new Dark Lords. Oh, selective quote, you bitch. Always willing to spread your legs for any Internet liar in need of quick fix.

Hey! Guys at grognards.txt!

If you mock pseudoephedrine, you do so rightly! He is a blathering blatherer and prolix to boot. Pompous even and self-contradictory.

In fact, he is what I would call concerned douche: has developed some reflection to the level that he knows he makes impressions upon other people via his views and views on his views. And then he stays at douche level, meaning: He uses his powers of reflection to try to look thoughtful in the eyes of others.

We laugh at him here too!

The highest praise my opinions on roleplaying games could possibly receive is for Settembrini to dislike them.

Quote from: Ghost Whistler;504511We get it, you don't like 40k. Next?

Not quite. I liked the 40k of Rogue Trader. I don't much like 40k as it is today.

Quote from: HombreLoboDomesticado;504424Perhaps the question should have been "is WH40K at all redeemable?"

Probably not.

 WH 40K is a big stinking mess.

I dunno. I like Rogue Trader nowadays - it's Space Opera. Except grimier.

Rogue Trader is the only current game I know of where you are a serious player, with a giant spaceship and a huge crew that are all yours.

Quote from: Ancientgamer1970;501962There is some hope in Ravenloft.  It is not always gloom and doom there in the setting.  There are many bastions of faith that still hold strong against the dark powers.

Yeah, most of the 2e books for Ravenloft emphasized the importance of contrast. Things like beautiful natural environments, humor, pleasant NPCs, etc were considered important to building the mood as well. All dark and serious wasn't what it was all about.

Whats stopping you from doing that with HERO system, GURPS, or SAVAGE WORLDS?

How about TRAVELLER?
Technically its a 'current game' via the Mongoose take on it.

OR you could play one of the RPG variations of the STAR TREK universe.

Somtimes I think there are GMS (or maybe just people) who aren't even attempting creativity because it might involve a little bit of work on their part.
