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.

It's not just that he's a Protestant. He's also a Reinheitsgebot fetishist.

True story:

The awful railroading of Paizo´s Savage Tide doesn´t matter after two bottles of wine.

wine = my strategy itch.

While not really equal, they can be substituted for each other, it seems.

PAIZO! You suckers! Don´t treat me like a retard with your one-room (literally!) dungeons!
Or start packaging some Califorian Grape Juive with your "products".
If there can\'t be a TPK against the will of the players it\'s not an RPG.- Pierce Inverarity

Quote from: Koltar* I believe that when half the players at the table are women players - a much better game happens. (Plus the GM is likely much more alert)

I haven't gamed with an "all-male" RPG group in over 12 years


Y'know, I'm strongly tempted to go through his posting history and actually start a running tally of all the times Kolt here has posted something about women gamers.  

I'm just sayin'. :D  If I were a chick, instead of an asexual canniblistic electric mouse, I'd be pretty creeped out by you.
For you the day you found a minor error in a Post by Spike and forced him to admit it, it was the greatest day of your internet life.  For me it was... Tuesday.

For the curious: Apparently, in person, I sound exactly like the Youtube Character The Nostalgia Critic.   I have no words.

Quote from: Pierce InverarityBacked up by parallel consumption of cigarettes, a concept hard to communicate to Americans. I find my best roleplaying happens in between beers 3 and 6 (Stella Artois, will settle for Corona. So I'm a Eurofag, what's it to you?).
Not to all Americans, Pierce, not to all of us...

Hell, I'm a little creeped out, and I'm an ape in his prime.

For two more years. :(

The internet recognizes only five forms of self-expression: bragging, talking shit, ass kissing, bullshitting, and moaning about how pathetic you are. Combine one with your favorite hobby and get out there!

  • The way I play the game is the way I like it. Otherwise I would do it differently.
  • That doesn't not mean I ignore new ideas or concepts. I just don't accept them blindly.
  • If it is a game, it should be fun.
  • I belive in D&D 4e!
  • I am playing for 15 yrs. now. And I am looking forward to another 15 yrs. of gaming no matter what.

Sorry if I offended you.  I've been having a terrible time on forums lately.  For some reason people have been "challenging" a lot of what I say in Idle conversation...like they need to prove my casual comments, or opinions wrong at all costs, even when they take what I say out of context or make a mountain out of a molehill.

Sorry for being a "cockpocket" to you (whatever the hell a cockpocket is:confused: ...but I assume it isn't nice)

Its likely yet another slang term for a condom (for example: scumbag, cocksmock, etc...)

 Its a really interesting freature that tailors put in dress pants for their special customers who have plenty of money but who get bored easily.
