But @Tyche kept telling us he wasn't a racist!

@Carex After reading this thread, I sure am glad there isn't enough racism and sexism at Arx for you.

I am going to be making a locked thread in the hogpit (for now) to move the personal attack posts

Feel free to just delete them. I was just trying to explain why I didn't just agree with what, on its surface, seems like a perfectly innocuous post.

I was trying to illustrate that maybe agreeing without putting any deeper thought into it was unwise.

Kinda like this: https://youtu.be/fYOA8gXpios

honestly how dare you drag Some More News into this. Those vids are mostly full of thoughtful and researched content, and failing that - funny. You are 0 for 3, sport.

I was literally in the process of typing 'How dare you drag Cody into this'

@Snackness it was my fault

does this mean you guys are getting a divorce

I love this idea on paper

But I think people trying to talk like Belters would immediately make me lose my mind, ke?

That's what I would be into. The mashups are blah. I agree. Ideal would be just one universe with a strict canon around like for example MCU and not just anything marvel at anytime!!!! Or OCs only. I would be down for one of those. All the OC ones I've played on have been meh at best, though.

I run a DnD campaign. It started after I tried desperately to get my RL friends into a campaign because as we get older we spend less time with each other and it seemed like a good way to keep us meeting each other. I got a DM from my work and it was nearly ruinous, he was bad and they all wanted to quit and it made them all, including my wife hate dnd.

After we quit that game it took me a major amount of convincing to talk them all into playing again with me as the DM. And the first session was mostly a 'try it out' session. I got a different coworker to come play and he brought his girlfriend of one month to a new session. It introduced my wife, my best friend of twenty years, his wife, a good friend of mine from work and his girlfriend together. People who didn't know each other.

Since then we have become such a family in two years of this campaign. My best friend plays the cleric, and our other friends are getting married soon-ish. Last night at a party the two betrothed players went to our party cleric and asked him to officiate the wedding because they would rather no one else do it then their trusted cleric Yuri.(character name) It was the cutest damn thing in the whole world and it made my heart melt. These people became friends because of DnD and now one is officiating another's wedding. It's so sweet and I cried just a little.

@Wizz Buddy. This doesn't really make sense. What do you even mean? You're getting pretty hostile pretty fast without saying what the issue is.

I agree with

I also miss you

Just started reading this. Man I played on a MU* when I was young where I played a Warder. And I was super shitty at it. Since I've gotten older I've always wanted a chance to get to try it again. Playing a warder to an Aes Sedai just conceptually seems so cool to me. As long as the Aes Sedai player isn't horrible, of course. And to echo many of the people in this thread, I don't think it would need male channelers. There are a lot of cool options for males. Aes Sedai being female only was always cool to me.

I SURE DID. Re-reading that, I more meant: From my experience, you can't just bring in a bunch of bad-ass combat characters and expect to do well. Me feeling useless at parts was a good thing!

With my character as a combat beast there were actually times when I was testing that I felt kind of useless to my poor team. I couldn't open the doors. I could jump over the chasm super easy, but had no way to bring them across. I think it is amazing and while of course it's still in testing, already I think there is good balance for combat/non-combat and I'm sure it will get better before release!
