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.

Even the the "cutting edge" storygamers for all their talk of narrative, plot, and drama are fucking obsessed with the god damned rules they use. - Estar

Yes, Sean Connery\'s thumb does indeed do megadamage. - Spinachcat

Isuldur is a badass because he stopped Sauron with a broken sword, but Iluvatar is the badass because he stopped Sauron with a hobbit. -Malleus Arianorum

"Tangency Edition" D&D would have no classes or races, but 17 genders to choose from. -TristramEvans

Modern war dogs are FAST, they need to hit before the gun can be brought to bear.  They're plenty strong enough compared to modern people.

Historical war dogs were STRONG, they needed to take down a melee warrior possibly armored and hamstring horses, etc. Look at the Cane Corso and Neapolitan Mastiff for more like what a Roman War Dog was like, and Rottweiler for what a Roman herding dog was like.

With Rabies, even a small puncture wound bite from a poodle, would have potentially deadly consequences.

If you give them a katana, the sky's the limit!
