I'm not sure what lesson that is, but I can make a new thread, perhaps where the op is clearer.

I suggest putting Shadzar on Ignore, and then redoing the thread.

Seconded.

Fuck it. Thirded. I've had it with that cocking wankface.

except for one person dissenting who is incapable of processing or rebutting any contradictions to their position who the fuck is talking about fighters and wizards.....You failed your reading Check, and the DC was only 12.

I tend to think of most races in fantasy stuff as humans. You have your green humans, your underground humans, your tall humans, your wispy humans and your blue humans who just happen to breathe water but build 2d cities underwater for no discernable reason. Every time I see a game saying it has so...

? @Gnosticism I think all of those were demigods. Not remembering Roland and Gilgamesh right now very well. (Thought you said Gargamel to begin with :roll: He was a very bad wizard.) Hercules, and Achilles were favored of the gods. I'll give you that for Hercules and Gilgamesh, though in the latter...

Holy fuck.

So like in Last Action Hero, Arnold was likened to an RPG character in the movie, but when he came through the screen he lost his "RPGness" and became human human? That's certainly an interesting way to think about it. I guess I was trying to point out that the human baseline is different...

Undertaker as well as AWF...or whatever it is called now is a joke. I don't consider any group of grown men playing grab-ass and anything defining a fighter. Conan dodged as would he have been able to a sword. That isn't anything out of the ordinary. Could Conan dodge a magic missile? an arrow? It ...

In most of the games I play, humans are the only available character race. You don't get a lot of Orcs in Wuxia or pulp fiction. Bearing that in mind, 'humans' in different literary genres can be very different from real-world humans. In most Wuxia settings, you really really can jump for miles and ...

But you agree with my point, that prostitution is likely to be a part of any RPG, given the age ranges that an RPG can span. Even if you don't use it, you can still see it likely to exist within them. The bar wench didn't work for tips afterall, and sometimes had to make extra money. (Elan's mother...

-snip- protesting too much This is getting really rather off-topic, and I really can't imagine why I'm talking about sexuality on an RPG board, so I'll share one of my Roleplaying 101s instead: Different games do different things. Different systems model different things better or worse than other ...

I said I don't want to think prostitutes don't exist and all there is are pickle parties. Half the people I recently played with were gay/bi. But they didn't have the whole game implied to be gay. None were uncomfortable with women pros, and they wanted them as well to make the world seems more rea...

I wouldn't want to play in a game that doesn't imply prostitution exists, otherwise you have a bunch of men living together all the time as bandits and well..... :P Not something I want to picture them having a pickle party, or sausage fest, while I am trying to have fun in a game. :twitch: What th...

It is the age of it that lends credibility to it in a roleplaying game of the era. How do you think prostitutes work in RPGs? You think they are all on Wall Street, going for dinner meetings and then a night cap in an expensive hotel room? "Going for a roll in the hay", usually meant the ...

What do you think the purpose of the fighter class should be? No snark, I'm genuinely interested.

Hello all, lurker de-cloaking. How do paladins do in DDO? High saves and access to healing wands sound like good news where self-sufficiency is concerned, but the paladin's extreme multiple attribute dependency is probably going to be troublesome. I'm playing a paladin at the moment just to get used...

Best part is, it's biological. The frontal lobe (ie. rational thought, responsibility, impulse control, etc.) of the brain doesn't finish developing until you're in your 20's. I'm 22, 23 in December, and when I think about what I was like at 15....Yeesh. Try it. Find some people who are in their la...

OK so where you live is filled with dipshits. Not every age 15 is one, it just seems like something local to your area. Tell me, shadzar, where is 'my area'? Is it Dewsbury, the Yorkshire mill town I grew up in? Is it Fullerton, CA where I spent my early teens? Is it London, where I did my GCSEs? I...

If you are asking me, I am old as dirt; or at least older than dishwater. So basically, six, and ashamed to admit it. Yes, I am Falcon Hene. Who the hell is wolf? :roll: I don't get into the ageism game others like to play as age means nothing, only intelligence. I know some 6-year olds that are sm...
