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.

How hard do you really think it is to be a GM?

You know, this Palpatine line sounds terribly like something Lucas wrote out of porn movie.

"You want this, don't you? It's swelling now. Take your weapon" Come on.

You know, now as I reread it, that Palpatine line sounds like something Lucas wrote when watching a porn flick.

I can't find the exact quotation, but there's a lovely bit from the filming of Star Wars in which Harrison Ford says "Jesus, George, it's one thing to write this stuff, but you can't expect people to actually say these lines.  Like, out loud."
D&D is becoming Self-Referential.  It is no longer Setting Referential, where it takes references outside of itself. It is becoming like Ouroboros in its self-gleaning for tropes, no longer attached, let alone needing outside context.

Quote from: Ancientgamer1970;498815I can tell by the way people talk to me whether or not they will suck as a DM or not.  I can tell by the way people post if they will be a good DM or not. I been doing this crap too long...

Then provide us with a list of who on theRPGsite is a good GM, please.

Quote from: VectorSigma;499182Dammit, jeff, I was trying to be so GOOD.

I know, that is why I threw myself on this particular grenade.

You are still unsullied VectorSigma. Now, in my memory, go forth and become the Paladin/Jedi Knight you were destined to be...
"Meh."
