Blahblahblah I know nothing of actual Ukrainian history and will quote claim its all revisionist because derpderp There's no such thing as a true fucking history, you idiot. It's all been revised, more or less, in places. You're dismissing 'Ukrainian revisionist history' without realising you've hi...

Isn't that exactly the point of having social stats in the first place? If ShyGuy can't string two words together in public and yet for some reason wants to play out the fantasy of being an uber-suave James Bond expy, he can roll dice for the pleasure, just like I have no hand-eye coordination skill...

Except Ukraine doesn't mean fucking borderlands, Frank. That's the point. It means Country. Seriously. And yeah, I've always lol'd that Germany's name in Ukrainian means 'barbarians', but fuck 'em. Ukrainians don't get upset over the fact that people add 'The' in front of the name, we just get confu...

Ukraine means, roughly translated, 'The Country'. Granted, the base word, krai, means both country and border, but in usage of the actual name, it's the former. I'd argue 'the Sudan' or 'the Congo' is just as incoherent as calling Ukraine 'the Ukraine'. When I'm talking to Sudanese or Congolese cowo...

Fuck it, I still think SR4A is one of the better systems out there. We all know the failure points, and every RPG has those - but I'm still a goddamn SR4 fanboy, mostly because I can in fact make the thing make sense without pulling too much shit out of my arse. (Or get bogged down in actual work, w...

Yeah, Bull's comment really struck home a major design difference between myself and his crowd. (Not that I'm a designer, I mean more what I expect out of the game.) In the SR games I've GMed and am GMing, combat does occur pretty frequently, but not moreso than social scenes (and wtf, since when is...

Speaking as a Ukrainian, we don't really understand why 'The' is added in English. It's really just a bit incoherent. It does annoy me a bit when people call it 'The Ukraine', but we've so many more nationalist topics to focus on! (Kick the Russians out! No, the Russians are awesome! Nationalist par...

Something you may want to check out is the Ravirn Webmage series by Kelly McCullough. The writing is decent enough and funny at times, but the setting is basically 'What if the Greek Gods actually ran the world through IT?' In the latest book, the main character actually travels to Odinverse, and Od...

Yay after months of lurking I've finally got something relevant to post in. I'd recommend The Secret World if you're looking for an MMORPG that isn't a WoW clone. Class-less systems and a pretty awesome modern horror/fantasy setting, with a dev team that actually <i>gasp</i> supports roleplayers, an...
