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.

So I got level-drained, tonight

Good to see Gleichbot's dropped the pretense of good faith and engaged in full "hurr durr imma trolling theRPGsite" mode. Maybe no one will be fooled this time.

Too late.

Quote from: The Butcher;628140Compare with the Mentzer D&D Companion ghost, which has an aging attack. A classic trope of Gothic horror, but very difficult to implement in-game; even age-related penalties will strike players as annoying, and it'll probably do a poor job of portraying the sheer existential dread of having your limited time on God's green Earth stolen by a dead asshole with unfinished business.

I dunno, I pretty much fuckin' hate those things too (though I'm more familiar with the AD&D version).

I have no problem with it, as long as its on-topic, which this clearly is.

Quote from: jibbajibba;628074Level drain is a great gamist threat.
It only becomes a problem if you think about it too much from an in game perspective.

Like everything else in the game. Your point?
Jesus Fucking Christ, is this guy honestly that goddamned stupid? He can\'t understand the plot of a Star Wars film? We\'re not talking about "Rashomon" here, for fuck\'s sake. The plot is as linear as they come. If anything, the film tries too hard to fill in all the gaps. This guy must be a flaming retard.  --Mike Wong on Red Letter Moron\'s review of The Phantom Menace
