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.

Yes, same for me, but worse. I haven't played such a complex system in a while, it is interesting.

I'm just winging it like I do at a ftf game. I just trust the DM not to screw me over and just run with it and ask a question now and again for clarification if need be.:)

dragoner

Yeah, they can do a tpk any time they like anyways.

True but that doesn't make for a good game usually.:)

Nope, it doesn't, you are right. More of a sign of a crap GM, or one that is sick of the campaign and/or party.

Yeah but as a Player I like to know what is and isn't within the realms of the rules. I look at the rules as being the "Physics" of the game world and what I need to semi-know to function. Plus I enjoy mechanics and rules while not being slaved to them.'

I run 3.5 to Amber with , hopefully, equal facility. I don't like making assumptions about rules that exist and try to de-burden the GM as much as I can by knowing what is and isn't allowed.

Plus with a PBp I like to keep it moving. Like this one seems to be. (Hopefully in saying so, have not doomed it :) )

dragoner

It still feels a bit mechanical to me, but I think it is because 1. I'm still learning the rules, and 2. the system I have been using, Traveller, is much simpler.

What can I say? You inspired me to put Karni there so that the other players can see who they are talking to. :)

It's all good. I will keep this current one it's a decent modern take on Bright Feather anyway.:)

Here is something funny I noticed, being a Space: 1999 fan, I often use this as my avatar:

Just make your fuckin\' guy and roll the dice, you pricks. Focus on what\'s interesting, not what gives you the biggest randomly generated virtual penis.  -- J Arcane
 
You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

Quote from: Opaopajr;774654sorry, 'innernet' trouble.

but i'm back!

I was wondering given you have an active Pbp going which isn't just commonplace.

@Dragoner, why did the GIF change?
