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: finarvyn;1025257I think that Spinachcat's suggestion was that the red shirt and white beard = Santa Claus.

:rolleyes: I get that a lot especially around Christmas.

One time during the holidays I was in a supermarket check out line and a 3 or 4 year old was acting up in the cart in front of me. He turned to me and started to give me that "Is he Santa or not?" Stare. The Dad whispers to his kid, "If you don't behave Santa will put you on his naughty list.". The kid then looks at me and I give a low "Ho Ho Ho". Perhaps one of the most threatening "Ho Ho Ho" ever made.  The kids eyes grew as big as saucers and behaved for the rest of the time he was there. The Dad gave me a look of gratitude.

Quote from: estar;1025556There always been discussion of medieval roleplaying. Ars Magica and Harn are two long running communities that talk about this.

Yes, for sure. I'm just happy L&D has reignited conversation about medieval-authentic gaming as opposed to other trends in OSR and general RPG gaming.

Interesting stuff. On a more abstract level, Turchin's War & Peace & War and Secular Cycles talk about the sorts of conditions which the typical D&D player would find familiar, with the chaos of nobles fighting it out in a depopulated wilderness, invading nomads and so on. Nicely summarised here. Just ignore the last bit about Western society collapsing, unless of course you also like postapocalyptic games ;)
