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: Brander;755674I too have bailed on scheduled RPG sessions because of a "date."  I've also been quite surprised at the vehemence with which my fellow gamers complained about it.  Sure it's rude to cancel at the last minute and inconvenient to cancel at all, but I thought they would understand that it was for a good cause and I would never complain if they did likewise for similar reasons.  Gaming is a lot of fun, but it's not quite up to "date" fun.  :)

Well, an actual 'date' is something you schedule, so you could have scheduled it before or after the game. A random 'hook-up'/opportunity for quick sex may come up unscheduled. In that case the sex is its own reward, expecting the approval of your left-in-lurch game group in addition seems a bit much. :D

A Y chromosome, and all of the biological and chemical things that include. Everything else we're pulling out of our ass, for better or worse.

I have to agree with Sacro that doing martial arts and getting a woman pregnant doesn't make you a man.

To crush your enemies.
See them driven before you.
And to hear the lamentations of the women.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Bill;756105I would add that in most cases, a gm should be able to advise a player, if the player is in need, of a ballpark estimate of success. Such as, "Your sword master is pretty sure that the enemy soldiers are poorly trained just by the way they hold their swords."

In the particular incident I was thinking of, the player was provided with that level of information.

(For those unsure of how Gumshoe's resolution mechanic works: you roll d6 against a target number set in secret by the GM. You only roll under stressful circumstances - ie, not often. You can spend skill points to add 1 to the roll. The player was told it would be a hard shot, but not the target required. When we actually got him to roll the fucking die and stop arguing, he scored a great hit.)

That's my definition of a good time.

Democracy, meh? (538)

 "The salient fact of American politics is that there are fifty to seventy million voters each of whom will volunteer to live, with his family, in a cardboard box under an overpass, and cook sparrows on an old curtain rod, if someone would only guarantee that the black, gay, Hispanic, liberal, whatever, in the next box over doesn't even have a curtain rod, or a sparrow to put on it."

  Isn't that the first third of the Old School Credo?

  (The second part is
  "To betray your friends,
  Loot their warm corpses,
  And to use and discard all their women."

  The third,
  "To thwart the DM,
   Defy any expectations,
  And to level all things created by him.")

To quote myself:

Quote
QuoteBut I think also many folk nowadays want essentially pablum, they want assured victory every time, to look cool without having to do any work for it. And hey, it's their leisure time, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's not what I'm in the game for.

I find something deeply flawed in the mindset of applying the term "work" to a game, and think such mindsets have no more place in a roleplaying game than they do in MMOs, where they're exceedingly popular amongst a small subset of very pathetic people with no lives, and the designers who like to milk them for cash.

I also find that 99 out of 100 what people are talking about when the speak of "challenge" or "working for it" in an RPG, is just scaling down the odds, and scalling up the "XP to level" numbers.  

Whoopie.  It continues to amaze me that people can be so terribly smug because their system of choice gives me an average of 30% chance of success instead of 50%, as if it makes them some kind of hardass.

Quote from: Sacrosanct;755633Playing a sport and impregnating someone doesn't make you manly.  Certainly not to the level where everything else "pales in comparison."  If you think it does, you have a lot to learn.

Quote from: BedrockBrendan;756571I have to agree with Sacro that doing martial arts and getting a woman pregnant doesn't make you a man.

You know, it still amazes me that people have me confused with someone who gives a flying fuck what they think.

As if a bunch of crusty old farts really have anything meaningful to tell me about masculinity.
