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.

Quote from: B.T.;533753Halloween Jack is a 4venger.  He posts on SA and TBP, which should tell you all you need to know.  However, he is pleasant enough to talk to, and I don't think he's trolling (unlike TCO).
TBP?

I'm also on ENWorld and The Gaming Den and I think K&K and Dragonsfoot, but I almost never post there.

Quote from: Marleycat;533761It's fine with me if he prefers 4e. Now if he tells me 3e/Pathfinder or any of the other Dnd style games I play and run are badwrongfun then we have an issue. If so, he is nothing but 4venger to me.
Why would I tell you that? I just said I think all the arguments about realism and verisimilitude betwixt 4e and Pathfinder are silly given that they contain a lot of the same features, only I find Pathfinder's language cumbersome. I also don't like the fact that the devs, by their own admission, don't care much for checking their math.
Quote from: jeff37923;533756Dude, even though you are worthless, please call the National Suicide Hotline before considering this course of action. Their number is 1-800-784-2433. remember, even the loss of a 4ron like yourself diminishes us all.
Cool story bro.

B.T.

TBP = The Big Purple = RPG.net.  You'll have to excuse jeff; he's been feeling trollish lately.
Quote from: Black Vulmea;530561Y\'know, I\'ve learned something from this thread. Both B.T. and Koltar are idiots, but whereas B.T. possesses a malign intelligence, Koltar is just a drooling fuckwit.

So, that\'s something, I guess.

What an uninfortunate choice of words. It looks like you are nothing but a 4venger, too bad you are kind of funny and interesting to chat with though. Saying the RC was uninforturnate is truly hilarious.

This really does clinch it, the 4venger vaunted love of literal class balance and insisting it makes for a good rpg.
Don\'t mess with cats we kill wizards in one blow.;)

It is a little weird that I only post on this board on occasion, but always notice Jeff going on and on about suicide.

Only towards those who are subhuman, like racists and 4vengers.
"Meh."

He tends to latch onto certain posters.

Acta Est Fabula

Quote from: Halloween Jack;533763Cool story bro.

I already said that a few posts above.  Granted, I said it as a way to mock your overuse of that phrase whenever you can't actually argue against whatever the person was claiming.   I just didn't know it was going to be so self-fulfilling so quickly.

Look, I'm not actually going to actively encourage you to keep comparing your penis to fencing maneuvers. If you want to keep talking, we'll listen, I promise.

I'm just trying to save you from taking your own life, cupcake.

No, I am an equal opportunity kind of guy. I attack any stupid idea idea I find.

You are so cute when you are desperately trying to boost your own ego.

I think you only came here to troll after SA got the word of Monte Cook's split with WotC. It was like a 4venger feeding call.
"Meh."

Why?  At this point, I couldn't care less.

You two make a cute couple, in a "The Deer Hunter" sort of way.

So, Jeff, do you have any opinions about Dungeons & Dragons, the forthcoming "D&D Next" edition thereof, or wildly popular retroclone Pathfinder?
