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.

5d6, throw out the lowest two...

Quote from: Tetsubo;1019251Awesome. I am genuinely and sincerely happy for you. But in *my* experience no one I know wants that. They want to play the character concept they have already. And you just reinforced why I want this thread deleted. But since that doesn't seem possible I'm out. You folks go ahead and have all the 'badwrongfun' pile-ons you want.

Why not just play GURPS or any other point based games and let them do that then?

I think it's lame when players won't play with the way the dice fall. Nobody knows what a character is going to be until they play it. I've had players not be excited for the character they rolled but ended up loving the character once they started playing it.

Quote from: Mike the Mage;1022846It's always someone else's conversation that is a "pissing contest" or "dick measuring contest" or whatever belittling language or patronising language is de jour .
I'm happy to have a pissing contest, so long as it's acknowledged that how far you can piss is determined by random roll, not point-buy.

3d6 down the line.

I do prefer 3d6 down the line myself, too. But I was a bit less competitive about beating a dead horse into paté. :) I like Tetsubo (even if he is a gaming heretic! /violent ululation :mad: ), and feel his playful post here was worth some playful ribbing. However it seems like a scrum was started when I wasn't looking. :p

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.
