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.

4e isn't even a game?

I always wonder about Chewbacca living on Endor, is that essentially pedophillia or something?  95% of Hitlers say Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition is an exploration of Wookie pedophillia and not a game at all!

It's really a vital exposition on the nature of internet debate when you think about it.

Except for the fact that the "Chewbacca Defense" from 'South Park' has been wrong all these years.

Chewbacca is from Kashyyk - the Wookiee homeworld. So cartoon Cochran should have been called on the walking carpet for that mistake.

IRRC in some of the EU stuff he lives on Endor after the battle of Endor.

Obviously Starwars is a vile attempt to prepare children to kneel down before hairy adults and play Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition.

oh the humanity...
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

I believe so far we have proven that the very questionable "Chewbacca Defense" is no match for invoking Hitler and Pedophillia in an internet debate!

It's not a game.

It makes real dungeons, with spiked pits, and there's poison traps.

But the secret ingredient is fear, dammit!
"In a way, the Lands of Dream are far more brutal than the worlds of most mainstream games. All of the games set there have a bittersweetness that I find much harder to take than the ridiculous adolescent posturing of so-called \'grittily realistic\' games. So maybe one reason I like them as a setting is because they are far more like the real world: colourful, crazy, full of strange creatures and people, eternal and yet changing, deeply beautiful and sometimes profoundly bitter."

We have nothing to fear but fear itself, and skill challenges of course, those things are freaky shit.
