The whole aristotilian cosmology stuff I personally have never delved very far into and don't see the need to. This confuses me. Either: [*]the whole cosmology is important for adjudicating the rules in which case you have been doing it wrong for 16 years. [*]Or it's not and others which have previ...

I still don't understand that one. Do any class features of the monk improve the dire tiger in any way or could you just replace the monk completely? Cause monks cause more family feuds than Richard Dawson. People who want to be monks want to be vaguely Asian and kill fools with magic unarmed attac...

So, a question. If you bring a character from game A into game B, then move it into game C, are there any guidelines for doing it? Let's say that you decide that your Lunar Exalted should fit into Shadowrun because they are both dice pool systems, and then you decide to move your Shadowrunning Lunar...

You know what is useful though? Pointing out that a rule is shitty and discussing it. Yeah, that is useful. No doubt about that. In this particular case, I don't really see much point to it though, because the rule is attached to the social system, and social systems have been discussed to death on...

Why was music adding to diplomacy rolls not a rule in the first place? Why are diplomatic parties not expected to have a traveling band with them to play a fanfare as the diplomat enters the court to make the diplomat look more impressive? Why did Aladdin have a song and dance as he entered Agrabah ...

Your biggest problem I can see is magic. For those that haven't played, all PCs gets access to magic spells and they are used in face to face battle. Most of these can be used during ship battle, with each casting of a spell affecting the whole ship or is used as a single magic attack against the en...

Thanks for the suggestions. To put the frozen food into context, I was over at the house the other night and I seem to remember seeing a chilled pizza in the freezer with an expiry date of 2005. We've already chucked out dried food with expiry dates of over a decade ago, and some foods close to my a...

-Arya's plotline in general, he goal was to reunite with he loving family, which almost happens but then lol red wedding. As of book 5 she is on another continent entirely training with some assassins we don't care about. Arya's plotline is clearly not about reuniting with her family. Arya is a poi...

Does anyone know how to get rid of three freezers full of old food? My grandfather has been out of his house and in hospital/sheltered housing for about a year and doesn't look like he's going back to the house, so we're tidying up to rent out the house. However, he has three freezers with out of da...

Fucking democracy. Fucking lazy voters. Fucking first past the post voting. Urgh. So the latest news in the UK is how the UKIP party got the largest number of seats in the EU and got about 160 local council MPs, when 2 years ago they had no council MPs and much fewer EU MEPs. For those who don't kno...

Yeah, but you try telling me that Aran and Danved are awesome... [hr] This sounds like an interesting idea, but what sort of power level are we talking about?
