I have not posted here regularly in six years I have not posted at all here in two years I have, about twice a year, poked in and looked at what's been going on, mostly to look at old threads and because a part of me gets morbidly curious or morbidly nostalgic. I have to admit that openly, because i...

I feel the big problem with Pentex is that corporations of that size are inherently terrifyingly evil; bolting on some Captain Planet anti-environmental agenda and other such conspiracies as an outright goal just makes it silly. Real world corporations pollute the environment, fuck over large sectio...

The Bygone Bestiary. It's a supplement for Mage the Ascension and Mage: The Sorcerers' Crusade which is intended to show you how to create and field mythical creatures in the World of Darkness, and has the questionable idea of doing this mostly through Merits and Flaws. You can use it to approximate...

Hicks: What's funny is that in Princess Twilight Sparkle pt2, when Celestia is making her speech for the Summer Sun Festival, she states that the release and defeat of Nightmare Moon took place at the time of the previous Summer Sun Festival, meaning that the first three seasons of the show happen o...

Foiled Axis Go-Kart - Next Scheme - Revenge Princess Axis Protect - Marry - Execute Okay, there's my two axis alignment system for villains and antagonists. I'm a big fan of this alignment scheme in general, but I don't understand how Next Scheme and Revenge are meaningfully distinct. Revenge is &q...

True Neutral (grey) can serve as the guys that are always on the winning team just as well as the guys who don't want anyone to win and thereby impose anything on them. Wait, are you actually bringing up that Protected Balance bullshit where Neutral characters were required to change sides mid-conf...

Either answer devolves into a question of what is the nature of good and how do know what good is, making it unusable as an alignment system. Not really. Because Detect Good is called Detect Good purely out of convention rather than certainty. One can't really say that Good is Good and Evil is Evil...

Are there any decent rules as to how science-fantasy spaceships work, either Spelljammers or other things? The only 3e rules for Spelljammer I've seen was a woefully incomplete issue of Polyhedron magazine, which actually completely fails to explain what powers a Spelljammer, which might be okay, ex...

I think that Dogbert's point is that while raining down on your GM like a tidal wave of fists is rarely if ever effective (regardless of catharsis), there are situations where talking would be pointless and you can't just walk away (Maybe there are no other groups around, or you're tied inexorably t...

I haven't read Dragonlance since high-school, admittedly. And my experience was shaped by my girlfriend at the time who was such a stereotypical fangirl, all the way to the point where her favorite characters were Raistlin and Dalamar, in that order. ANYway, my point. I don't recall directly, but di...

It's not that much bookkeeping either. The tickboxes are just a way of representing ten numbers: half of which go up to five, half of which go up to ten. The most I have ever seen anyone gain in a single session is fifteen boxes total across those ten numbers, and it's usually far less. Fifteen box...

I really haven't touched my Skyrim game since my lasts posts in this thread; and have gone through a computer surgery; which may have left the save files in limbo. Not a big deal anyway. I found out after replacing my computer that Steam saves Elder Scrolls games save data in the cloud. So, if you ...
