This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Turn; sheeting off skeletons, our cleric tries to defeat the beast, while the wizard strides purposefully into the bailey and puts out the fires with a wall of ice....

Bam, wham! The huge Skeletal beast grabs the cleric, raising her to his maw, screaming in a windless blast, to bite off her head!

And she blasts, another sheath of undead bodies, a hundred bones, sheds from the giant's skin, and our wizard reaches the battlements - the commander wraps an arm around her shoulder -"Ah, lass, have ya ever seen such a sight?!"

Down below, the cleric stares down the hollow maw of the bone giant and *fwaaaaap* blasts it into dust - she plummets to the ground, gasping for breath...

And above, the Wizard stares with awe, shock, into the distance, into the vast field of war-fires.... seeing the hundred-foot-tall hulking shadows of - somethings... and the flaming balls of tar and death that the undead army launches with their catapaults and...

Now, what?

That is awesome.

Makes me want to watch the battle scenes in LoTRs.

Again.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.
