Re: Other Robot Shows

I dis-like all that corny/cheesy macho man type dialogue that in these typical movies. I'm genuinely interested as to how you can be a Transformers fan, then, since 99% of the TF fiction dialogue I've seen since 1985 has been crammed with macho posturing. Maybe it's different to you when the dialog...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

Is there an inherently greater value in either? If I'm called upon to create 'fluff', I'd like to think it's worthwhile fluff. I'm not entirely sure I can separate the two cleanly, anyway. So far I've asked if physical positioning of characters has a tangible effect on battle, which is presumably a ...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

Yes. I was playing a D&D game with my friend and had a character who could fly. I had declare as part of my turn that I wanted to grab the skeleton in front of me, fly up to the top of the room and drop it to it's death. Or smash it against the wall. See, my question is, did that have a wildly ...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

Interesting points about structure O6, I'll admit I've always found it difficult to come up with 'rules' (or whathaveyou) after the fact, or while creating something. I've never been one to create characters while already writing a story, for instance. I'll have to give that some thought. So with al...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

This is purely a personal thing, but I wish I'd have been able to find a good RPG set outside the usual fantasy fare back when I played games a bit. Heck, I remember trying Final Fantasy Something and thinking, "it'd make more sense why they have to wait between turns if they were busy reloadin...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

In class based RPGs, you generally have the "holy trinity": a tank, a healer, and a damage dealer. This makes sense; attack, defend, heal. But it really only seems to apply to combat. Do these sorts of characters have many unique abilities outside of that? Are healers able to ply their tr...

Re: Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

Tell me about it, I'm not sure either, but it'll definitely be closer to the former. I just need a grounding in the phenomenon before I attempt to push my half-baked ideas on someone who *can* create games. So, take the second point from my list- I'd like to discuss what kind of classes are typicall...

Turn-based RPG knowledge/imagination/opinions desired

Ok pals, it's no secret that I'm the resident RPG philistine, but I've managed to get myself into a situation where knowing many of the basics- and then hopefully messing around with these basics to come up with new ideas- may benefit me. What I need is brains. Now I'm not asking for collusion- god ...

...Do you have any idea how ironic this statement is?

Don't worry, this isn't going to turn into an argument, because I graduated at the top of my marines class with 300 confirmed kills.

That's all, folks!

Re: Buy a Boba Fett leather jacket for $714.99,epic ridiculo

I'm pretty sure "girl/wife" would be ok with a guy wearing this jacket. Folks these days are increasingly getting into the idea that you can have things in common with your significant other. Personally, if I owned that jacket- which I wouldn't, because it's too expensive and I'm not into ...
