Is video conference really that necessary to game... Like I think fantasy grounds and audio clients work well and it doesn't let people see my room and my face. (And I don't want to see other people's)

Instead of doing this, it might be better to designate one person to reply to each Bedlamdan post with "Thank you for reminding us you exist" and nothing further so that he gets the affirmation he needs to keep on living without caving into his toxic obsession to constantly fish for the same tiresome arguments?

Liesmith.

Totally worth a ban but I loving loved his threads on Morte d’Arthur.

He had an MA or a PhD in it. I forget. We were briefly trying to do a translation project.

Anyway, it can be fun to flip around in the old books and look at all the weird, inventive, dumb poo poo they'd just throw around with little rhyme or reason. It's why the old D&D Monster Manuals are some of the best venerable RPG books to have. They're just so much more full of fun, crazy poo poo than two whole pages about how to roll your stats and then be a Fighter because gently caress you you dumb idiot you rolled your stats.

I know, right? The monsters and magic items are why I decided to pick it up. I wouldn't have come up with "Wind Waker But A Harmonica" myself.

So my friend is running a sort of roguelike type game of Pathfinder with that loving huge hardcover Rappan Athuk book that was on kickstarter years ago. Anyway since the idea is to basically have disposable characters and he's not going to pull any punches and actually try his hardest to TPK us, I reeeeaaallly don't want to hassle with rolling my own level 4 characters. Paizo has a bunch of pregen level 4s, but they're not on normal sheets and they lack a lot of basic info you'd want, like Ability bonuses already mathed out, etc.

So I've been looking for other pregen characters, and basically my question/complaint is WHY THE gently caress DOES NO ONE WHO TALKS ABOUT CHARACTER BUILDS ONLINE ACTUALLY POST THEIR REAL CHARACTER SHEET. They talk about a few stats and what feats to take, but nobody posts their whole drat sheet so I can scratch their name off and write my name. Why isn't there a TTRPG type site like Icy-Veins but for D&D/Pathfinder/etc instead of WoW? Why is the internet not literally flooded with character sheets for me to steal?
