Buddha's New D&D Thread is Groovy, Man.

[crazy canuck]

Acting in your best interests while entirely disregarding how it might effect others is almost the very definition of evil.

At least in the D&D world this is absolutely true.

Welcome to the thread Valmy you might try reading a bit of it before barging in....

[garbon]

Summary for you, Valmy : CC has taken an untenable position.

D & D is teh lame. Play BESM.
Rather than being limited to certain races you can play any wacked out combination of scifi/fantasy genres that you can possibly imagine.

... an innocent baby Orc?

I got a big XP hit for not slaughtering a group of Orcish women and children as an Elvish Paladin whose patron God was the mortal enemy of the God who represented slaughter.  Damned GM's.

I had my first session of Warhammer FRP with a group of my friends who've been playing for a while.  Went with a female Halfling Campfollower turned vagabond.  It's... interesting so far.  Not a fan of the GM, despite being told he was running an acceptable campaign.  It's better than how he handles a PC, but it isn't good by any stretch of the imagination so far.  We'll see. 

Also, we're alternating that and a new campaign of Star Wars Saga Edition which we'll be starting soon.  The campaign is set during the Clone Wars right after Geonosis, and I'm definately looking forward to that.  A much better GM who thinks and runs a campaign more in line with what I look for.  I'll be a human scout with the fringer path in that one.  I decided to be the anti-min/max-er after seeing how every other member of the group went and picked their race solely to pump their stats.  Fuck that.  I live for the actual ROLEplaying, not the combat and ROLLplaying a lot of people go for.  If I wanted to do that, I'll play a FPS or WoW or something.

Please try not to De-groovy my thread. thx

Maybe, but abuse of office isn't inherently non-lawful.

I really have no idea what you mean by that.  Read the SCC decision in Roncarelli (sp?).

Why are you trying to quote a Supreme Court of Canada decision in a D&D thread?  Have you gone crazy?

I think it's kinda appropriate. as a GM, I would give him bonus XP for that.

heh. I think it depends on how your game views Orcs. Are orcs, always, unthinkingly, evil with a capital E? Or are they just misunderstood ugly humanoids with a taste for human and elf flesh who just may walk a different path if they are shown mercy once in their lives and given dwarf burgers instead?

[BuddhaRhubarb]

mmmm Dwarf Burgers.

Non-AAR AAR for yesterday's debacle.

We sort of played again yesterday. (it seems no one but me & the DM (fuck this GM nonsense) understand the idea of being on time)  It has thus far with this game usually taken on average 1.5 hours before we even do anything in this game, after the supposed starting time of 3pm... then we end up playing 2.5 hrs. later than planned... any numerous number of interruptions while gaming occurred including ordering food that no one in the group needs. (4 of the 8 or 9 players being well over 300lbs)

Basically all that happened was that we ended up fighting the resurrected Thayan Wizard and some transmogrified house pets (puppy/kitten become batwinged Cat/Dog creatures with more Hit Dice than any of us in the party.) in an arena battle for our freedom (and 1500gp as a side bet)

We hit the wizard with a couple of summoned Hippogriffs and Me and a few of the others made short work of kitty & puppy, and a few kobold guards for extra measure. We gained our freedom, and went home. end of game.

most underwhelming overlong session of gaming ever. Too many people showing up makes for a very unwieldy game. too many diversions, children milling about.

6 hrs of supposed gaming & 1 pretty good battle? lame.

Hopefully my Mutants and Masterminds game today will be more eventful.

Well he was in part discussing the matter with me, and I know the case he's talking about.  Roncarelli v Duplessis is an extremely famous case.

My friend subscribes to Wizard's online service that includes a character builder (among other things) that includes all their books and Dragon issues, that does the math and prints out this comprehensive character sheet.  So I have an Eladrin wizard that fire multiple magic missiles per round - each missile does a push+1 - and the damage is 12-18.  I almost don't need anything else. 

When printed the character takes up 8 or 9 sheets.
