People would give you less aggressive responses (and responses that would make sense, if they do make sense to you somehow) if you weren't constantly trying to sound like a dick. "It's like a debate with middle schoolers." is something a troll would say, and since you come off as a trollin...

I think the only one not reading the thread is you, Plebian. Because the only words I see here are these: "Plebian is a stupid 4e fanboy who probably knows nobody will listen to him, but he decides to waste his time here anyway, proving that he's either a retard or a very desperate troll. Of co...

Alright, now I can work on my own stuff. If this thread is old, why not make a new one? By the way, if it isn't too much asked, could you check out the homebrews I made on another thread? I was kind of worried that they might be too weak for an actual Tome game now that you told me how weak the Core...

Alright, thanks. I'll try working this into a more easy-to-look at form. Though I also wanna see people's answers on the actual questions I had as well, so yeah.

Edit...bump?

I have never been too good with that kind of stuff (as amazing as that sounds).
Wanna give a few guidelines to how I WOULD format the post instead of simply complaining about it?

I like the ideas you have presented. And of course, there is lots of potential joking on the Archon's attitude I can see there. And the Eladrin being mentioned alongside Neon Genesis Evangelion is as epic as it is creepy. As for the Bayonetta reference...heck yes!! Also, I forgot to ask people aroun...

Well...I guess I made a tl;dr here, but yeah... My purpose? I just wanted to make a few LA 0 races that the PCs could try out, or that I could play them myself if the DM allows. As for balance point, I myself would like to ask what do you mean by that? And as I stated in the beginning, I wanted to n...

Some Random Homebrew Races

Okay, I somehow have the feeling that I'm going to regret this, but I've decided to put the stats of my homebrew races over here. I've so far only made stats for them that fit the normal 3.5 game level of balance. What I wanna know now is if these races need some tweaking so they can be used in Tome...

Not only is knot-cutting satisfying to many players, but it's also a type of fun that videogames just can't effectively compete at when compared to pen and paper roleplaying games. If you ask me, that means that's a gameplay feature that pen and paper games should be playing up. They're not going t...

Do you wanna know something funny? I do not HATE 4...

Oh, Frank. You just made the mistake of mentioning Finns in the same sentence with the other Scandinavians (I am familiar with those comics, by the way). I can let you in on one thing: Finns and Swedes DO NOT GET ALONG, and even I enjoy calling Swedish people [EDITED] when they call us cavemen. (Als...

So this turned from talking about women's relation to the D&D gaming environment into a debate about wax, oils and smelly padded armor? Well, I do know that this relates to some of the issues that some might have with D&D, but I myself blatantly ignored the whole entry when I first tried D&a...

I wonder why I bothered viewing your post, Plebian. It still makes no sense. "It's better than previous editions" is merely a statement presenting a subjective view. It's a matter of taste you are trying to shove down people's throats like it was a fact, even when people are more than will...

Strictly enforced roles, regulations, and processes all devoted towards the concept of creating quality game content. Anyone who does...

That's a very nice Valkyrie paragon there. Are there gonna be Paragons to the good-aligned Empusae as well, like for the Eladrin and Archons? Also, I have seen that Prof.Cirno from above somewhere before...might have been the Paizo forums...and now I see how much of a fucking dick he is. So, no need...

I am a writer, but I doubt the kind of stuff I write would help much in all this despite me not being just an amateur. Though I'd be more than happy to play-test the stuff if you guys get some material done.

Again, you misunderstand. The race WAS FINISHED AT THE TIME I ASKED ABOUT IT. And that is the only thing I am going to say anymore, because this is beyond pointless by now.

Actually, all I wanted was a homebrew race, and I had gone to very great lengths to make sure it was not overpowered or anything. Actually, I even offered to ask him about the campaign world so I would make sure it wasn't out-of-place, to which he agreed before he decided to backstab me. But yeah, I...
