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.

I think the major failing of the module is that it didn't come bundled with Cheetos and Mt. Dew coupons. :p
Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
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.

Here in Canada, Mountain Dew did not contain caffeine until 2012 because of some law which wouldn't allow caffeine in any pop that wasn't brown. So in my gaming heyday I really couldn't understand the appeal of Mountain Dew. :D

Oh, the deprivation! :( What did you do without sweetened battery acid? :D

Quote from: Krimson;1048206In some species of ants, individuals will sacrifice themselves for the colony. That could be a feature of goblin tribalism. Or maybe they can reproduce fast enough that rushing headlong into stupidity IS their main tactic, making sense in the context that Zerg Rushing your enemies takes advantage of superior numbers

Beyond that, another evolutionary tactic is to simply not spend a lot of energy (necessitating more food), and intelligence is energy-intensive. If we try to explain goblins using real world biology, the answer might simply be, "they can survive on ____ kcal a day, compared to ~2000 for something like a human, and the incremental advantage that the human's smarts give them is uncompetitive."
