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.

If this has really been a complaint somewhere... then fuck this hobby with a Rhinoceros cock.

Quote from: One Horse Town;755436Yes, you.

You know who you are.

My Wizard sucks at combat. I need compensation!

My Thief only has 75% chance of opening locks. The Wizard has taken my stuff!

I lost my special key-ring. Get another one, loser!

But, but, i haven't got all my hit points back in 30 seconds. Suck it up dick-wad!

I need to be special. Oh, but you are, cupcake.

What a load of drivel. Pick up the dice, roll up your guy and stop fucking crying. Waah, waah, waah.

That's what RPG forums look like these days.

and breathe...

These all look like complaints of D&D.

Not all RPGs are D&D, there are many more out there.

Yep, your sig is evidence of that ;) If I had $10.00 for every single snippy insult or nose out of joint over the various editions of Traveller "not being Traveller", I'd be a rich man...

But it's much more fun to laugh about all the whining over D&D, Pathfinder, and "balance".

One man's "balance" is another's "broken"... You want balance? YOU CAN'T HANDLE BALANCE! :rotfl:

"...maybe this has to do with my being around at the start of published RPGs and the DIY attitude that we all had back then but, it seems to me that if you don\'t find whatever RPG you are playing sufficiently inclusive you ought to get up off your ass and GM something that you do find sufficiently inclusive. The RPG setting of your dreams is yours to create. Don\'t sit waiting and whining for someone else to create it for you." -- Bren speaking on inclusivity in RPGs

Actually... We are talking about fantasy role-playing game bitch fights. Merely being knowledgable about them makes you a pussy.

Not necessarily true, but this had me laughing as I read it.

Quote from: JamesV;755457I'll say this much, if I can play three different board games last Saturday and not win any of them, I think I can handle an RPG where I play a magic-user with 1 HP, or lose a level when a spectre touches me.

My son's Little League prep baseball team that I help coach won a single game all season.

My wife beat me in Risk--after I had played for YEARS--the first time she played.

I have never won a single game of chess against an adult, human opponent.

I find new ways to lose at Carcassone every other time I play.

I cheer for the Kansas City Royals.

Yep, I can handle some "adversity" in RPGs.

Hey, if you're ever up this way, I'd like to show you a new game called Poker.

I know it's a joke, though unfortunately true to some idiots, but speak for yourself.  I did my best in school to make people wary of calling geeks/nerds pussies.  This "pussy" was happy to oblige the namecaller's obvious request for a fight, even though the vast majority of the time merely standing up to the challenge did the trick.

As for the OPs "uphill, in the snow, both ways" rant... it's a game, people should be playing it in ways that they like, the only wrong way is one that's not enjoyable on some level.

That's me in Race for the Galaxy. I have dozens of games under my belt and the number of times I've lost by a point or two is almost painful.

I am currently working on my near-win-but-loss streak in Seven Wonders too.

My GM rolled damage in secret when the Girallon hit me with its bite and all 4 claw attacks, plus rending damage, then said "You're at -9 hit points." with the worst poker face ever.

I told him "If my character's dead, just say so."

My character died. Tough game, I guess. Haha.


Now I'm running Savage Worlds, (Terracide playtest) and rolling damage in the open. If the dice explode, somebody's getting hit HARD.

Heh, one of the several reasons I hate "niche protection" -- that helps feed the "Wah wah there's someone who's better than I am at SOMETHING THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE ***MINE***!!!" beast.
This was a cool site, until it became an echo chamber for whiners screeching about how the "Evul SJWs are TAKING OVAH!!!" every time any RPG book included a non-"traditional" NPC or concept, or their MAGA peeners got in a twist. You're in luck, drama queens: the Taliban is hiring.

They're so fun in concert. That song about burned down the hall, busted the floor, and fountained in orgiastic glory. But that could have been the chemical cocktail working amid the writhing throng of hot boxed humanity.

Oh, and I love their music video of the dancing pussy marionette. :)

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Heh! I think I'll exercise the advice from "The Gambler". Definitely a "know when to walk away/know when to run" scenario. :)

Very true. Probably a lot of those same folks stopped writing letters and starting posting on forums.

Probably the most vocal, but you get variations of it with most games.

I mean, there's the WFRP whiffs! crowd.

Well, yeah, it's WFRP you tossers. Go play FASERIP if you want to play super-heroes.
