Quote from: Omega on Today at 11:58:54 AMWhat "logic"?

There is no justification except on the minds of raving lunatics.

Considering there are actual blacks mentioned peripherally in Tolkien's lore, it makes the whole "orcs are black" argument even dumber than it sounds on its face.

All my stuff except for Werewolf:Wild West are in storage. Since it seems to be a complete game I'll have a look through. Got it from a friend who got it from the owner of Viking Leathers way back.

Quote from: Shalashashka on Today at 08:31:04 AMAs stupid as it was, I at least understood the logic behind 'orcs are black people'.

What "logic"?

Not sure why, but I got a laugh out of the stolen cab that she ripped the license plate off, drove around NYC a day, parked it at an airport for a few more days, then came back and it was there waiting for her to drive it around some more.

Greetings!

I read the entire article. I find it interesting how this clown sounds *exactly* like all the other Woke morons, wallowing in being eternal victims, while at the same time exalting themselves, their personal experience, their family, and their heritage over everyone else, most importantly normal White people.

Keep crying, bitch. You got fucking conquered. You, and your entire people got conquered because you were fucking weak.

So...basically the author of this piece of garbage is a woke POS, who "Feels" guilty about his "white privilege", and is spouting NPC talking points so he can be seen as an "ally" to the Woke Mafia.

Got it.

I'm not reading any of that.

Quote from: Exploderwizard on May 13, 2024, 01:18:51 PMI never understood why a lot of players didn't like clerics. They are some of the most fun characters to play. Trying to convert your fellow party members to your religion makes for some great inter-party role play, and there is nothing quite like asking a tribe of orcs during a parley if they have heard the good news.

Greetings!

*Laughing* Ha-ha my friend! Yeah, imagine seeking to convert other members of the adventuring group to your religion! Such comedy gold, there! Oh, the drama! So good!

I love Clerics. They have so much flexibility and potential. Besides all the serious stuff, they even bring in the humour!

Quote from: cavalier973 on May 13, 2024, 12:51:48 PMI like it. It looks like one could assign the various activities to broad categories (evangelism, pastoral duties, administration, academics, security, etc.).

I think the 0D&D element of a cleric spell book should be brought back, too. A Holy Text that contains doctrinal treatises, orders of service for weddings and funerals, church/temple history, and hymns. Maybe the codex is presented to the cleric by a superior when he or she reaches second level, and can begin casting spells.

I also am toying with the idea of surprising the player of a first-level cleric with a spontaneous, one-time miracle. "As you see your fighter comrade fall to the orc's blade, you reach your hand out. The fighter blinks and rises back to his feet."

Greetings!

Good to hear, Cavalier973! Indeed, I wanted to capture a very broad-flavoured set of tables that would be quick, easy, embracing a strong random element, and yet also expressing the nuances and diversity of a Cleric Character's training, interests, and experience.

Certainly, I love books! I have some rules and tables for detailing and developing religious books as well! At least for literate societies, the written word--and thus, written holy books, scriptures, and theological and philosophical texts are all extremely important. We sometimes roll our eyes at these things in the modern era, though I think it is important to remember that you can't get very far in almost any college program without encountering such books and their authors from 500 or 2000 years ago. Most non-academic people are generally unaware of these works, but the ideas, the standards, the philosophies within them very much inform and shape much of our modern world in numerous ways.

Semper Fidelis,
