You clearly have not read any of the latest source materiel.

I would say that the defining characteristic of Shadowrun Magic is that magic USED to make sense.

Well yes, I would really prefer option #2. Right now we have basically option 1, but with a slight nudge-nudge-wink-wink it's not magic.

I would want technomancers to do one of two things. 1. Blantantly become magical. Just admit that they're magical, and get on with it. Then all their assbuggery powers/abilities don't need to make sense. They're magical, have a day. 2. get rid of sprites, deep resonance, initiating, the more mystica...

Yeah, FEMA is a disgrace. It's a good concept, that's done completely horribly.

The CDC does a much better job with their mandate.. although they're still assholes about it sometimes.

What about disasters that cut across multiple states? or are arguably not in a state, but instead in Federal Zones. (I'm not sure if the 3 miles from coast zone is state or federal domain.) But then, I actually find the States Rights stuff in America to be on the whole pretty ridiculous. I don't tru...

I thought Frank was referring to the US not being happy with the slightly Socialist Government of Iran from 51-53. Which dovetailed into the US setting up the Shah, whose rule lead to the Islamic Revolution. Apparently, he was instead smoking some crack about the US backing the Islamic Revolution in...

Amusingly enough, I think most Americans would be happy if FEMA did take total absolute control, and organized Red Cross, Salvation Army, National Guard, and smaller volunteer organizations into something sensible. The problem has been that FEMA is wholly unable to cope with large disasters, which s...

WLD is a beer and pretzel game of silly stupidity.

You play it with twinked out min-max characters, and you don't take it seriously. Actual roleplaying in WLD seems silly. It's a thought exercise and problemsolving/war gaming thing.

I do know we're talking about the 1979 Revolution. The 1979 revolution happened because the US got rid of Iran's Democratically elected Government and replaced it with a brutal dictatorship. All because the US was getting it's dick sucked by Big Oil. That is the root cause of the 1979 Revolution. Th...

Iran started as a socialist revolution. Americans decided that they'd rather deal with religious fanatics than potential Soviet sympathizers, and here we are. Uh, what? Frank's position is, again, blatant revisionism that is only being peddled by biased sites like www.socialist.net. Which is barely...

Republicans seem to think that all international transactions are done in US Dollars.

I'm not happy with out quickly Obama backpedaled away from this. It smacks of asshatery. We've been supporting the current regime for 30+ years. Until last week we weren't trying to exert any pressure for him to change. And now, all of a sudden. It makes other governments in the area think twice abo...

Save us from which side though? And okay, lets say you have an armed revolt. What government do you put in it's place. WHat are you trying to change? Do you want to just get rid of D&R? Or do you have something else in mind, what form of buggery are you putting in it's place. And I keep seeing p...

Werewolf the Apocalypse
Main book, (oWoD I don't know what buggery is in nWoD)

There's also an alternate in the Bastet Source Book.

Garou, Bastet, etc all started as animals who were given the ability to change into human form by Gaia.

This is the most ludicrous argument I've seen on here in a while. I still fail to see why werewolves mating with real wolves is rape, unless they're doing it in Cronos form. In Lupus form, they're wolves too. Heck, in the original mythology, werewolves are wolves that gained the ability to change in...

There's a big big difference between data mining an adventure for 'ideas' and running a 'module'. And it's not elitist. A GM who only runs modules, and doesn't let you do anything not covered in the module isn't really a good GM. A Gm that uses Harlequin's Trilogy to come up with a plot of his own.....

Most GM's worth their name rarely use pre-made adventures. Unless the adventure is something really special and fun. Temple of Elemental Evil comes to mind. I've run countless games of ED, an I never used the premade adventures, except as more background info, and I once had an NPC who relayed the e...

So what about the werewolves that are born as regular wolves, and grow up amongst regular wolves?

Why is it wrong for them to be dogfuckers? Shouldn't them banging humans be more squeeky?

So?

You're obviously not writing Missions for Shadowrun to make a living.

Missions are a cute thing, but not that important. MANY of us build our own missions, worlds, without using 'canned adventure modules' This has been true since the beginning of RPGS. So, expecting amazing grace from a Missions is silly. It's a Module, that's going to sell maybe 1/5th as much at best...

The Daughters of Artemis


It's MORE all over the place in Central/Southern/Eastern Asia than it is in Europe.

European examples are:
Picts
Vanes
Berserkers
Knights Templar
Ordo Illuminati
Hashashin (well okay that's more Middle East)

Absorb Blows, Last Chance salves.

They had the miracle max "mostly dead" options.

Or the fans who want to get their hands into writing for an RPG.

You get published for $50 turning in an adventure you were going to run for your players anyways.

What's wrong with that.

You could just go play Earthdawn

(or Ars Magica)

Earthdawn did the "everyone uses magic" thing 15 years ago, and did it much better.
