I'm happy that the forum was restructured, so I can see if there are any new posts in threads without scrolling down.

 

Of course...if people hadn't insisted on making Falador Library and Rusco subforums that wouldn't have happened....

Well I knew you wouldn't agree. I know how you hate facing facts.

Vixon, NO I WILL NOT SHUT UP! NO ONE TELLS ME TO SHUT UP! I'LL SHUT UP WHEN I WANNA! I don't need another person to tell me what to do. It's not my fault that I'm a fragging nutcase, it's not my fault that I'm a fraggin female, and its certiantly not my fault that everyone is so frickin mean to me when I annoy them!

 

Archi, no. No Somewhere Over the Rainbow. Bad song choice.

 

Nex, there is nothing wrong with being a fan boy. The only time it would be a bad thing is if you go Otaku on us. Please don't go Otaku on us. Go ahead and keep talking about Drowtales kiddo.

 

Anti-Drowtales people: Poo Poo to you. Leave Drowtales alone!

 

Sorry Princess, I do believe that I just did tell you to shut up. And I don't care whose fault that it is for your being a "fragging nutcase." I never said anything of your gender and I never asked for you to explain yourself. I simply told you to shut up.

 

Now you're just being illiterate and rude. It's sad really. The way that people think that their lives are terrible, instead of looking for the good in themselves. I'm not just talking about you directly, when I say this, I mean humanity as a whole. So many individuals think that their lives are miserable and that they are pointless.

 

Once you call them out on their "Hard lives" and group them into an ever-expanding category of "emos" if you will, they use the general excuse of: "You don't know me!" or some variation of that statement. They become petty and seek attention from anyone who is willing to waste their time to "Listen" to nonexistent problems.

 

Should you take one of these people to a therapist to explain their issues, they would have nothing to say, or whatever that they would say would be completely irrelevant and you would only be wasting the good doctor's time.

 

 

Now Lei, I will speak to you directly.

 

You fall under this category. You are someone who would like, no, someone who would love to have something terrible happen in your life just so you could complain to everyone about your life and its trials. You are sad. And not in the sense of "Boohoo" but the kind that borders pathetic. Yes, I did tell you to shut up. No, I will not be ordered around by someone such as yourself. It offends my vanity and my pride. As for your need of attention and sympathy, for your own sake you may want to refrain from speaking. It is not needed nor is it desired.

 

 

 

OH AND FURA, LAWLAWLAWLAWLAWL JUST YES.

I want his Children....is that bad?

Thank you vixion.

 

Lei, you are in precisely no position to call anyone on this forum kiddo. Oh and see previous suggestion about getting a damned live journal or some such. If you want to come back to it bookmark it/ set it as your homepage. Don't bring that [cabbage] to the tavern.

Nex, I read drowtails for a bit and quite frankly I was unimpressed. The fact that a fair bit of it seemed to be softcore pornography (like the quasi dragon rape scene) wasn't the only reason though. The main reason why was the whole "DROW ARE LIKE TOTALLY SUPERIOR TO ALL OF THOSE STUPID HUMANS, RIGHT GUIZE. THEY ARE LIKE SMARTER, STRONGER AND JUST PLAIN BETTER THAN EVERYTHING ELSE. WHAT? YOU THINK THIS IS BORING? [bleep] YOU [bleep] HAVE SOME [cabbage] AMBER!

 

EDIT: Anyone interested in the one shot idea (maybe on saturday(s)) with different people GMing different systems (maybe one person GMs Dark Heresy or something for a week or two of one shots, then the next GMs burning wheel rpg, repeat as necessary.)

I am so happy I had decided not to look into Drowtales. lmfao.

Okay. Everybody chill before someone blows their top.

 

Consider this the warning of the week - keep things civil. No flaming, personal attacks, etc. Lei, I highly recommend getting a livejournal if you want to just talk about your life somewhere, or to converse via PM if you only wish to relay a message to a one or a few people.

While I do agree with trying to keep things civil. She really needs to hear that kind of [cabbage]. She does nothing but annoy this community, and we're tired of it.

I'm agreeing with Fura.

 

Since our new addition to the Tavern, I have been completely repulsed to this site. I hardly ever bother to check in because I know that the only thing that I will see is bickering, drama, who is better than who.

 

Here is a resolution to everything:

 

WE ALL SUCK.

 

 

There. Now quit your [bleep]in'.

 

 

Edit:

Now, now Lei, I only breeze through there every now and again. The only two categories that I take permanent residence would be Honest and Blunt. I am a very straightforward person as you have noticed. I do not beat around the bush and wait for someone else to voice what a group is thinking. If you call me heartless then so be it. I may seem that to you, but I do believe that I have a heart. I wouldn't be sitting her, typing, talking to fura, and working on my English assignment if I didn't have a heart.

 

Did you ever think of bringing logic into your responses? If not, you may want to start. It could save you, and others, valuable time.

SO GUYS, ABOUT THAT ONE SHOT IDEA. WOULD ANYONE BE INTERESTED IN IT? ROTATING GMS/SYSTEMS WITH ONE SHOTS (WHIMSY IS OPTIONAL BUT ENCOURAGED). DOES THAT SOUND INTERESTING? (HELL, IT MAY GET SOME MORE GMS TO COME OUT OF THE WOODWORK).

Anywho, explain further. I don't know what this One Shot idea is mostly. If it's a page back, I must have missed it. *goes back a page or two to check*

 

EDIT: saw the Edit up above, still wouldn't mind a little more info though. :)

Elaborate some more, preferably without capslock. Is it going to be people taking turns GMing, scheduling volunteer GMs for games on certain days, a bunch of separate, short games or a long one run by multiple GMs...?

I'm pretty sure that everyone who has thought of GMing has already done so. Archi ran Danse Macabre, Ross did that zombie apocalypse thing, you did Kingmaker, Wyvren is doing his campaign right now, and I'm running a PbP on the Paizo forums. Although actually, Nex hasn't tried one yet.

 

I would be interested nevertheless, but the issue is getting materials for a system that we will only be using once (barring the chance that we like it and start up a game of it). Are most available online?

Rather than putting a burden on one tavern member to create a campaign, they would create probably a session's worth of action with possibly premade characters. Each GM would run one or three different one shot adventures with a specific system. Then, before they got burnt out they would switch out of the GM chair for another tavernite and the cycle would repeat itself. The system could change with GMs or be kept the same, whatever the current gm's preference is.

 

EDIT: Retech, most all are available online. Hell, you probably wouldn't even need to make maps, just spreasheets using google docs to act as the battle map.

If things are going slow, the only way things will get started again is if people make the effort to start things again. I've had that problem many times with clans I've been in; in order to solve a slump, you need activity from the members themselves.

Unless anyone else wants to, yes. If there's a positive response I'll decide on a system (I might just run a pathfinder one shot at first to be honest, either that or FATE/ Dark heresy).

Either Pathfinder or Dark Heresy. Unless anyone has great objections to that system I'll just pull off some of the [cabbage] I put my DH group through. Think dungeons of gygaxian levels/styles of traps.

How long ago...?

 

I understand everyone is entitled to their opinion, but that's not really true...

 

Let's see here... two slightly weird, but not explicit, scenes between the dragon creep and the main character, the first of which is immediately stopped by Vaelia, the second of which results in the creepy guy quickly getting clawed apart by the high sorcery of the main character and then killed by a demon. Aside from that... One scene involving godiva hair and info dump text bubbles obscuring a bath scene between two perfectly normal adult characters (only chapter I particularly dislike).

Second, there is nothing wrong with Drow as opposed to humans as the primary race in fiction... They are the focus of the story after all. The two times they come into conflict with other races... lemme think... One was the Drow equivalent of SEAL Team Six breaking into a human stronghold in a surprise night-attack, taking out the elderly monarch, and retreating. The other was a small group of free dwarves attacking what they thought was a caravan violating passage laws, and instead managing to torch a few carriages belonging to a mobilized ARMY.

 

I've never seen so much complaining about mild plot armor and a single character who gets killed with comparatively little screentime.

I was actually talking about the drow being the only race able to utilize SUPER SPECIAL PLOT DEVICE MAGIC that and humans as well as pretty much any non drow being treated as barely sentient slave races or TOTALLY EVIL AND NOT LEGITIMATELY PISSED OFF BECAUSE THE DROW ARE A BUNCH OF CONDESCENDING PRICKS. The fact that one race is so incredibly over powered (and is the protagonist race) makes for a very very boring story for me. That and I don't like the drawing style of the artist (and the fact that he/she/it goes into soft core porn in the members only sections).

Personally I don't like it because it's not particularly comical or intellectually stimulating. It has a bit of both, but usually that's not enough to draw me in.

 

And it just goes off on this tangent from the original Drow to this thing that I'm not sure about. It's like as the story progresses, it's x approaches infinity of y = 1, compared to the original Drows, which are f(x)=sqrt(1-x^2)

Not your fault Andvari. I've sadly inherited my mom's tolerance for emotions.

 

I'm sorry everyone, I had a hard day at work and I'm tired. Reading shut up the second I get home is not something I particularly like to do.

Drow are a subrace of Fae, there are others who have variations on their powers, but they're generally rare... Just like the Drow are (we've seen at least two other Fae creatures, dragons and little pixie things). I don't understand how it's super plot-devicey anything, except for the summoners who caused the whole demon problem. Drow are mildly racist... Take any feudal civilization's attitude to any other feudal civilization they view as inferiors, it's not total war or anything and they can get along outside of frequently-raided areas. 'Totally evil,' they were never really portrayed that way, the king and queen were just after immortality using a method that freaked out the Paladin among them.

 

Think about practically any elven civilization in every series ever, the Drow are the same. They're just a dying, race, rather than one that's already dead. As far as I know, there haven't been many works of literature that deal with how the 'great old elven kingdoms' fell rather than just plopping them down in the middle of the plot when convenient. From what I understand, the Silmarillion dealt with similar concepts, and people didn't think it was particularly interesting. WHICH IS FINE, FEEL FREE TO HAVE LITERARY PREFERENCES.

 

Who gives a crap about the fanservice comics, I hate it just as much as you do but I'm not going to start flaming every time someone brings the series up just because of a side-work used to fund a multi-person drawing and story team who update their comic daily. In the end it doesn't hurt anyone, however much it might be morally objectionable. At least it's not in the main story.
