SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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: Kiero;735150That's laughable, because it would imply there was anything like consistent design intent in original D&D. Which there is little evidence of. I mean seriously, this is the game where rules were often determined by who touched them last, with all sorts of wildly varying philosophies behind them.

Shows just how much you know.

Quote from: estar;735169Actually there is consistent design, it was developed through actual responding to the what the player were interested in and what they attempted to do.

Oh, so you're saying they played D&D like everyone with a brain does: make shit up so everyone can have fun.
It takes considerable knowledge just to realize the extent of your own ignorance.

The difference being is that Gygax and Arneson were the first to write it down and make a product out of it.
