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.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Quote from: Sojourner JudasGiven the dizzying array of different methods a character can toss "a fireball," both in-character and ruleswise, it just makes sense that it all boils down to "roll to hit, apply successes to damage, soak if applicable."
Since the system has to cover just about every imaginable possibility, yes. (Correspondence: "I open a tiny portal to the core of the nearest volcano, blasting the enemy with a stream of molten magma.")
Previously known by the name of "GrimGent".

Quote from: Sojourner JudasI think a lot of folks didn't like Justin Achilli primarily because he took Vampire a lot less seriously than the fanbase, and made no bones about refusing to treat people as special snowflakes.

Justin and I agree on those points.  And yet I still think he's a jerk.  Why?  Because he was always on the forefront of any WW-related fiasco, flinging shit with the rest of the primates, but always hiding behind lame excuses like "you don't understand how things work at White Wolf".  Well, here we all are, Mr. Achilli, waiting for you to explain it to us dullwitted plebians.  Someone who fights fair either sticks with the cards he can actually lay on the table or shuts the hell up.
