The Gaming Den

IMO and final word: With sex, there is nothing best for everyone; abstinence may work for a few people, and there are some people who have multiple partners and are open and honest about it, without any sort of problems.
In short, there is nothing that is best for "everyone."

1203660322[/unixtime]]Probably true, K.[br]Just educate kids with pictures of common venereal diseases and say "This is sex in Baltimore. With or without a condom. Be careful and very, very picky." [br][br]I heard that scare tactics can be a very effective form of birth control, unless it...

1203776401[/unixtime]] And why/how would you assume the religious types (who are very powerful in the U.S. and Europe) would agree with you or accept such an option? They will not change their beliefs on the situation, and will do what they think is best, even if you don't view said action as human...

And yet there are some who miss the good old days of when D&D was pretty much nothing but house-raiding.

As for FUDGE not being serious, it's hard to take an RPG gaming session that revolves around looting people's subterranean homes and killing the occupants seriously. In my view, D&D is a beer-and-pretzels game that requires time and dedication to rules-crunching.

Sigma, when you say "Pyrotechnics," do we mean light flickers, conflagration of Hell, or somewhere in between?

I think one of the Dragonlance books mentioned that the gods look after drunks, small children, and kender.

What about drunks that are jerks, like insane hobos who are criminals, or abusive husbands/fathers? Or are they given a stern talking-to?

You can't prevent people from making stupid decisions; you can only hope to steer them towards a safe path.

Nothing wrong with that, unless you shape your new RPG edition around an existing game.

Text messages take longer to type in as opposed to talking to the person on the phone. For some reason, they remain all the rage, so they will be a teenager's greatest enemy.[br][br]Consider a following example:[br][br]Teenager 1: *Dials cell phone to talk, not text messaging"[br][br]Teenager 1...

1203533339[/unixtime]]This still doesn't explain why it's supposed to be a big deal that teens and pre-teens already know about sex, or why it's supposed to be a big deal that they're having sex with people in their own age group. Nature and Evolution made us such that we sexually mature ~age 11. [...

Edited: It's too good to be true.

But I always wanted to play in an all-Commoner game! 37 pages of comments can't be wrong!

Are there any restrictions on a gang of Wizards using Fabricate to make a mech army, or re-wishing things to revamp the shattered world? How does high-level, high-magic affect the world?

Man, when I hear of so many Eastern European countries plagued with violence and poverty, I think "Man, what went wrong?" If I had to guess, it would probably involve Soviets, but that's just me.

But Solomon contradicts himself all the time! Or does that not count?

He's like someone with high hopes. His arguments may not be valid at times, but his dedication to proving his argument shows a dissatisfaction with the rules system as is, which I can sort of relate to.
But prestige classes aren't overpowered, only a few (Ur-Priest!) deserve to be called such.

1203411214[/unixtime]]The complaining is kind of funny. I mean, what were people expecting from a blog called "Your Webcomic Is Bad, and You Should Feel Bad"? It's obviously not about any pretense of objectivity; it's about trashing a whole form of expression. As such, it's not like it's ...
