Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.


Well, we've reached another June, goons.

Bush is on his way out, gas prices have never been higher, and 4th edition has just launched.

After a half decade of 3e, we're seeing something new out of D&D. I know some people feel like arguing about martial healing, the death of multiclassing, and anime art, but keep all the edition warring to YCS.

Let's just enjoy another warm summer by hiding indoors in our parent's basement talking about elfgames.

It was so true to form, wasn't it? And I love how I could not tell what accent he had or what he was saying. How about the gnome flash videos or the one with the Lady of Pain with the excessive gore? Brilliant.

4E looks kind of cool, but I've been playing around with the Pathfinder playtest a lot lately, and I think I'm going to end up liking it more than 4E. It's like 3.5, but way better and a lot more streamlined. There are still some rough spots to work out, but I'm sure they'll work them all out. I'm really excited for it!

I saw their flowchart for grappling. I think their addition of CAB and CMD might lead to one of my players possibly considering to grapple once maybe. Still, I feel like supporting WotC and D&D. True fans follow blindly.

Awesome, I'm participating in it right now! There's no way things will screw up!

Oh no, Frank Trollman and the Gaming Den are getting into fights because the Paizo developers won't use his Tome series in their work. And he said via PM to another poster that the real reason he acts like a jerk is to further his agenda because people won't notice him if he doesn't act obnoxious, "like Fox News or the Chinese Media."

Aaaaaand he's been banned, and now he's getting his fans to quote him back on the Paizo boards. Back on the Den he's making juvenile homophobic jokes about how Jason Bulhman allegedly likes receiving oral sex from male fans after loving them in the rear end. This is highly inappropriate.

This actually happened.

Who cares about D&D? I want to talk about how I just spent over a hundred bucks on a playset of Underground Seas. God, what a ripoff.

I know, right? Hopefully as soon as Wizards realizes how high the price is rising, they'll use the foil loophole to ensure that supply remains adequate.

Hi, I just played D&D for the first time at a preview of the new edition in a dusty strip mall game store with my friends, and our fat, awkward DM of indeterminate age touched my bare arm while saying "level drain".

Hi, I preordered the 4e box set, but I just got an email saying they didn't make enough books for the first run to satisfy all the preorders, so my order will be delayed three weeks while they do a second printing and send those out. But I just went to Barnes and Noble and they've got like 10 box sets sitting on the shelves. What the gently caress.

Oh loving great, now there's a bad storm in the midwest, and my shipping is being delayed another week.



Oh awesome, the delivery guy pretended to knock on my door and left a "We missed you, come pick up your package from the post office" note on my door, because he didn't feel like carrying the box down the driveway. So now I have to go drive 5 miles past the Barnes and Noble where all my friends bought 4e books over a month ago, to go pick up books I preordered a year in advance.

A friend just invited me to make a character for his Mage: The Awakening game. I've never played a tabletop RPG at all before and the game is set in Kansas City. Is Death a good arcanum to specialize in or should I go with Prime?

I haven't really been paying attention to the new D&D since our last 3.5 campaign ended when we discovered caster supremacy. It sounds like the new one's supposed to be okay? Maybe I'll check it out if someone decides to run it.

On the other hand, I'm just getting back into the hobby after a hiatus and recruited a few people from the FLGS for an Exalted 2e game. It should be fun! And there's no way it'll crash and burn once the first player gets Infinite Melee Mastery and combat balance goes off the rails. That almost never happens.

I'm just so excited for 4th ed, finally Wizards is going in a new direction with D&D, breaking a few sacred cows, and most of all seems to be ignoring the very vocal minority that are acting like this is somehow destroying their old editions in the process. I almost can't wait to see what 5th edition will be once they refine some concepts tried out here!

Games other than D&D? Hell, I am not even aware people still play traditional games. Maybe in college I will have a rulelawyer roomate who will force me to sit down for a medicore campaign that will cause me to like such things.
