I notice there has yet to be any response from the OP. I wonder who's running this...

[Fantom]

@Arkandel

Only one that I can remember at this point, which was something far more along the lines of "don't do this because you'll be told no so don't bother". There may have been a hint of "please don't do things you know you'll be told no to". These are the sections that had the smiley faces in them.

[Arkandel]

@Thenomain Oh boy.

I don't know. I think "we don't have much tolerance when you do things you were asked not to do" isn't a bad game rule. I mean, hm, general rules of the game, one should probably read, "We have stuff that's not allowed. These are not allowed. Seriously. Everyone has to read this file and we're going to clench our teeth at you if you ask for stuff that, somewhere, says it's not allowed."

[Tinuviel]

Excessive smileys, regardless of context, reek of passive-aggression to me.

[Arkandel]

@Tinuviel

[Tinuviel]

@Arkandel I just assume you're being passive-aggressive at all times.

[Apos]

@Tinuviel Still not as bad as wink ones.;)

[Misadventure]

The phrase passive-aggressive currently does not mean what you think it means.

[Ghost]

@Misadventure I knew you'd say that.

[Misadventure]

But I didn't. I only knew that you'd know that I knew. Did you know THAT?

[Tinuviel]

I'm English. I know everything. Passive-aggressively.

[Misadventure]

I am told that it has to be self-deprecating and quietly desperate to be English.

[Tinuviel]

That's for Southerners. Northerners, like m'self, only need to know that one on't cross beams gone owt askew on treadle.

To be fair not responding here is likely the smartest decision staff could make at this point in time.

Do you mean Tolkien/D&D Pastiche, or Game of Thrones/L&L Pastiche, or a Witcher Pastiche? Because it's none of these, but closest to Witcher. Videos nonwithstanding, I would say it's pre-Renaissance with heavy classism, a finicky dual-realm magic situation, racism and slavery and other forms of oppression (save little sexism, except as commentary in the Catholicism analogue)... the more I think about it, the main generic blandness is that there are humans, elves, dwarves, and dragon people as Kind Of But Not Really Muslims.

Anyhow.

Off to watch videos.

Dragon Age is kinder, gentler Warhammer. You have the Warp where magic and demons come from. Dwarves can't use it. An ancient empire tried to tap into it and fucked things up, releasing swarms of evil into the world. People hate magicians what with the potential for possession and tendency towards evil, but realize that you have to keep them around, because you fight fire with fire, so they stick them into colleges. Elves once had an empire but it is ruins and they are fading away.

The one big change they had was instead of Warhammer's soccer hooligan Orcnari, they used Blizzard's (another Warhammer pastiche) noble-savage Orcnari.

@Ominous

So Tolkien. Fair enough.

As if there's anything better.
