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.

Rolemaster just integrated it into the coin system at 10x platinum and 100x gold and bumped Mirthil to 1000x gold.

Of course, Mirthil could just be alluminum.

The game I'm making is my *"Fantasy Heartbreaker", so yeah.

* Except I don't expect fame or fortune. Maybe some lunch money. Or at least break even.
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.

I've always imagined mithril as having the weight of aluminum but being stronger than steel.

It could be that fantasy races have discovered how to refine titanium.

I prefer to think that Mitrhil is Mithril and not just a fancyname for something mundane.

Agreed. *Real* Mithril can stop an attack from a giant troll cold, with no real damage.

And my titanium framed eyeglasses went through a lawnmower last summer, and I was able to bend them right back into shape with no visible damage.  Take that, Frodo.

Morality? Bring at least a bunch of nuclear warheads with you when adventuring in Middle-earth. You never know... you might encounter a group of really tough dwarves.
