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.

You make good popcorn. Sadly, the thread faded a little in entertainment value near the end.

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.

Really, where are the Lesbian Stripper Covert Ops? The Lesbian Stripper Ghurka? Lesbian Stripper Lin Keui (they're in the damn game!)?

No creativity anymore.

Quote from: soltakss;880004Scrolling down with the mouse is the best way to read some of these threads ...
Or any thread where people discuss something you don't care about.

Quote from: Batman;879981The discussion is pretty simple:

Bren: Player's don't always need to read the rules....

Jeff: Players should read the rules...

and back and forth for 3 or so pages.


Quote from: Bren;880020I'd add the bolded bit below, but yeah you pretty much got it.

Bren: Player's don't always need to read the rules and many do not....
Nah, I got that much. What I'm not getting is why you felt the need to state your point over and over:).
I mean, what were you trying to prove? Such groups obviously exist, they just don't play Pathfinder or LotW, as a general rule;).
Personally, I'd have gone "have you never seen a group where only some people care about the rules, or are you just dumb" much faster:D.

Oh, I don't even bother reading those. I reserve the Scroll/Page down for interesting threads that are spiraling out of control.

Quote from: Gronan of Simmerya;879729Also, many RPGs feature a fair amount of combat.  Not only will most children not be real useful in combat, but the human race has this strange instinct to protect its larvae, so in character adults would be trying to keep the child safe and or out of combat.  Essentially, a child is the ultimate "special snowflake."

Point of order: it's not a "strange instinct", it's a perfectly natural and well-studied evolutionary phenomenon called K-selection strategy.
Obvious troll is obvious. RIP, Bill.

Sarcastic statement is sarcastic.  I don't really think it's strange.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

Well, sometimes you're only interested in parts of what is being discussed in a thread;).
