I can't imagine him as an adult, really. He posted a "HAHA I WOULD SO OWN HIM" fake interview. There's no way an adult does that. Maybe he's a teenager stealing his dad's pipe or something but god drat. Also I love the mental image of him foaming and screaming while the guy just sits there giving calm answers, I bet he imagines he's the Spider Jerusalem of the D&D reports.

One of my friends played a Sorcerer who's legs were ruined with very powerful magic, so we had to cart him around and such. You know what he did do though? He nuked the poo poo out of everything we needed him to, what he didn't put in DEX and such he put in CHA and other feats to help him there. It was actually fun because he just rode in the cart and we could basically do drive bys with him, and that's pretty drat fun to kick the cart in high gear and have the ranger fire his bow while the mage hurls fire. Also our GM gave him basically a Professor X wheelchair (magic version) later on when it became clear we would have to be fighting in a lot of towers/dungeons. (Until then the campaign had been mostly nice open air/ruins exploration fights so he got some maneuverability with the cart or a riding mule. edit: what I'm saying is these people suck because they focus on the flaw as a disability rather then something the character can overcome and be pretty awesome doing it.

Red_Mage posted:I'd begin with the assumptions about gender roles and implicitly consider the bad prose and the awkward situation endemic to this mans condition I'd begin that this dude wrote a post asking the internet how to make sure the players take a gay guy as a serious threat. Ya know if I saw a dragon like man all buff coming at me angrily, I wouldn't go "Dudes dudes, it's a FAG we're totally safe". Seriously most grognard posts just make me confused or make me laugh but that actually made me mad, which I suppose is abit grognard in itself.

He defends himself. Alright...wow. I didnt think this would be so widely interperted(sp) So I need to tone down the blatant sexuality, got it. The dragonborn leader would be too hard pressed to be in charge and in a socialy submissive role, got it. now, why a blatantly overthe top introcuction (flawed as it has now been shown to be) in the first place? my group tends to make the usual jokes about gays and lesbians, even though we have 1 gay member and a man in a womans body with a collection of ...well never mind that part. They often depict anyone gay as limpwristed and speaking in enfeminate italics with Xenaesque lesbians who are two steps shy of growing a beard of their own withthe 18 in both str and con. I wanted to show the group that the villian can be gay and evil and dominant. The second part was to see if the fillian can be submissive and still remain a threat or if his 'look' would break the image too far away even from the high stength and inteligence. I seem to have gotten the answer to the second half.

Meme Emulator posted:As a DM it would be a good way to get your players to underestimate the villain. Use their prejudices against them and then kick thier rear end, although I dont think thats what the DM was going for. Well no the good way to do this is to play him like a normal Caligula like ruler of excess and privilege, then when the party gets into the fight it comes out "Oh gently caress he also is a high powered Swordmage"

Oh they criticized the idea...because they thought it was making it beating him just for being gay. Not because it's an offensive and dumb idea, no, because you may beat him just for being gay. gently caress those forums. We need more grognards from there the CharOp forums should be ripe.

Wait what? The entire point of Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit is that everyone went from 'level one' people who most of were too scared to even leave their homes, to true heroes of the world. If you wanted to play Gandalf in that you were doing it wrong since Gandalf was basically an Angel made flesh with the power of one of the Elven rings of power and one of the few people to be able to wield magic in the world. in advance

I wouldn't want to play this game, but there's some pretty interesting concepts in there. I gotta be honest, if my RL GM wanted to run this with my group wherein I know everyone well and know none of us are creepy fucks, I'd play it. It's a bit spergy he thought so much out about his magic princess game yea but he made a pretty good frame work, plus it's better then some ideas White Wolf put out for oWoD.

Joe Anglican posted:I swear the phrase "Martial Controller" should be probatable. B-bu-but SYMMETRY! Maybe you should look at this class I made, he's a knife thrower, he does damage like a Striker but also can totally cripple guys with his expert aim. Like, this one power is called "Cut the Heel" and it does 1d8 damage and slows the foe. Then all the other powers are exactly like it.

Bob Smith posted:The thing is as soon as a Martial Controller comes out everyone will just point and laugh and go "hehe getting aggro its like WOW" and complain that it's a martial class doing something other than full attacking, and so it's a sign of "anime mmo bullshit" and doesn't belong in D&D anyway. Also most ideas for them suck really hard and don't work after 5 levels or something.

Cog05 posted:It's too bad there isn't a martial class that can deal a lot of damage, attack multiple enemies at a time, and impose negative status conditions with some attacks already. Woah man that is a great idea! I'm thinking we need a good general name so maybe if people like Samurais they could...roleplay? Is that the word? Roleplay it as a samurai, and make sure it has possible builds to favor all kinds of weapons. Maybe...Killdude or...fight...fightman?

doubletroublepost but:quote:should also note that this version of Valeros has 70 skill points, which he very well could have spent on skills to make him a more Charismatic leader type, but his skill list was based off his 3.5 selections. He could have just as easily had Bluff +10, Diplomacy +10, Sense Motive +10, a number of Knowledge skills at +10, and a few other skills as well. Throw in a feat or two to boost his bonuses and he very well could have been a skill focused fighter. That was his best one.

"In November 2005, John became a Freemason, joining Liberal Arts Lodge of Culver City, California." Does that count? I kinda had to find if he made some totally grognard post now because I really love most all of his work, so I had to do it. http://wickedthought.livejournal.com/879110.html You made me kill an idol, drat yoooooou! quote:You see, I've had the D&D 4E box set on my shelf for a long time. I read through it. I liked a lot of advice I found in the DM's Guide, but reading it was like walking through a maze of mirrors: it's all things I've seen before. A lot of it read like Robin's Laws of Good Game Mastering and the dozens of indie games I have on my shelf. Stuff about narrative control, stuff about player empowerment, stuff about spotlight... I mean, yeah. I've seen this before. In fact, I wrote a lot of it for the L5R and 7th Sea GM sections. And I wrote those books a decade ago. I'm glad they put it in the DMG: this may be the first time D&D players ever see it... but I don't think it will affect the way people play D&D at all. I mean, you can give all the narrative advice in the world, but if your game is still about kicking down the door, killing the ork and taking his stuff, that's exactly what players are going to do. An excerpt.

Bonus: One comment asked "So have you played it" he answers: quote:The RPGA here in Phoenix refuses to run it. I mean, at PHX conventions, the RPGA is still running 3.5 or Pathfinder and if you ask them about 4E they give you the same look Highlander fans give you when you mention Highlander 2. You literally cannot find a game in this city. Also hey Countblanc I like your avatar.

This itself is grognardy, I'm actually a bit sad in real life seeing what irrational disdain he has for the game. I'm a huge huge fan of 7th Sea, it's one of my favorite games and settings, and seeing the dude behind it act like a giant baby makes me bummed out. I've become what I hate.

Personally I find it most grognardy that he did it all without ever playing the game, before I read that comment it was an annoying 'review' with a major smug "IF I WOULDA DONE IT..." overtone, but after that it went full on Grognard.
