Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
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.

Why is your favourite game system better than Unisystem?

Because Attack, Defense, Armour penetration and Damage are all put into a single roll

Because it doesn't encourage minmaxing with the Merits and Drawbacks

Because I like rolling lots of dice and having the cat chase them

Oh, be honest.  You're in it to hang out with all the Goth chicks.

What's up with what's going down
In every city, in every town
Cramping styles is the plan
They've got us in the palm of every hand

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

Turn the tables with our unity
They neither moral nor majority
Wake up and smell the coffee
Or just say no to individuality

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

Come on, come on, come on come on

When we pretend that we're dead
When we pretend that we're dead
They can't hear a word we've said
When we pretend that we're dead

My system is better because it doesn't have Buffy or Angel as a setting.:snotty:

I don't have a favourite system but Unisystem just seemed sort of... bland and uninspired for the most part - like most generic systems.

Umm... the template character background thingies were nice though.

If you are hitting the Sodomy Biker's the GM isn't using them right.  Unless of course by 'hitting' you mean your face into their barbwire wrapped fist.

Quote from: Lisa NadazdyMy favorite system (HERO) is superior because:

1. By weight and strength alone, it can beat Unisystem into a bloody, six-inch deep puddle.

2.  HERO can stop a bullet.  Unisystem couldn't stop a stiff breeze.

3. One rule book to rule them all.  HERO crushes unisystem by having all the rules in one book.

4. Support- HERO has some of the best genre books and best online support, bar none.

What is it with Lesbians and the HERO system? Almost all of the lesbians that I know who game play frigging HERO! :ponder:

Because combat is not resolved by DM fiat.
Because there are rules that are the same for everybody, thus task resolution is in itself suspenseful.
Because noone is a "Narrator".
Because there is no railroading.
Because the story develops out of the actions of the players, not the predetermined literary aims of the DM or the group.
Because there is no room for method actors to steal my time.
Because it´s a game, not a writer´s club.
If there can\'t be a TPK against the will of the players it\'s not an RPG.- Pierce Inverarity

See, whence you begin to claim that only Storytelling Games are the only "real" RPGs, trouble ensues. Fact is, rules-lite systems take out many "Game qualities" in traditional thinking. Maddman likes it exactly for that qualities, that´s fine.
I´m not discrediting UNISYSTEM. It´s just not my cup o´tea, for good reasons.
