So, I've owned Skyrim for a while but I'm just now getting around to giving it a serious go. At some point do the two mane factions give you the Hard Sell for joining their cause? I mean, from what I've seen the Imperials are kinda oppressive and the Stormcloaks are kinda xenophobic, and the only ar...

Wait, does the fact that Blink Dogs have average intelligence make schtoinking not be bestiality? Because they are still quadrupedal, they don't have opposable thumbs, and as near as I can tell they can't speak any languages. The MM says they have a comprehensive language made of dog sounds, but doe...

When I have seen the subject of 2nd Generation halfbreeds brought up at all in fluff, the rule is usually that if you have any racial mixing in the memory of your family history at all, you are considered a halfbreed for purposes of assholes being assholes at your asshole. I'm really not comfortabl...

Is there such a thing as a quarter-orc, or would it simply be a matter of the green-skinned genes popping up every once in a while, as a reminder of people's heritage? When I have seen the subject of 2nd Generation halfbreeds brought up at all in fluff, the rule is usually that if you have any raci...

Okay, so I think we've established why orcs haven't been wiped out. So, why haven't they gotten more sophisticated. Orcs are generally depicted as either nomadic or semi-nomatic savages whose technology is either stolen from more sophisticated peoples, or garbage glued together with shit. Why hasn't...

I was in a EP game for a while which mostly broke up because the system isn't very good. I personally have existential problems with Re-sleeving, but it's a role-playing game, it's fictional nature means I put this aside for the purposes of the game. If you aren't willing to meet fictions premises h...

So, if your 7th edition army required special figures that aren't in the 8th edition rulebook and your army book isn't out yet, you continue using the 7th edition rules for that model? How much backwards compatibility issues does that create? Also do they find ways to make miniatures obsolete too? D...

Death , the Taker of Souls, Defeater of Empires, Swallower of Oceans, Thief of Years, The Ultimate Reality, the Harvester of Mankind. Not necessarily the Grim Reaper of the locality, but a Grim Reaper nonetheless. A seven-foot-tall skeleton in a black robe, and he carries a scythe. His eye sockets ...

Societal pressure. Adventurers aren't farmers or carpenters or blacksmiths or guardsmen or hunters or merchants or anything else that makes society actually work . While they can and often do have the skills nessissary to do any of those tasks, that's not what they're here to do, and even if they we...

Hey, if everyone's down for it, sounds like fun. I had gotten the impression that you were supposed to play CoC like characters in the books, people with more curiosity than is deemed healthy, and a profound lack of understanding of what you're up against.

All 3e has that 2e doesn't have is a small collection of deities and I believe one obliqie reference to the Free City of Greyhawk, plus one race that existed in previous editions but wasn't in the core, one class that existed in other editions but hasn't been in the core since 1e, and one wholly new...

Re: Lack of Player Knowledge and Complexity in Games
Where did the idea that players shouldn't know the rules to the game come from, and what was the reasoning behind such a stupid idea? Well, there are two main schools of thought that lead to this in my experience. The first says that in the mythical Real World, the average person doesn't exactly kn...
