Fair enough, but if the GM role is rotating, there's no need to pander to shitty play choices. As someone who's been the GM chair, he should know better than to make the GM's (kinda shit) job harder. What if you split it down the middle and ask him if he could just not be "that guy"?

I've had to deal with that player, and more than once, sadly. I've found only only solution to that situation. 1. Let player make whatever character they want. 2. Tell them to find another group that will let them play that way. 3.??? 4. Profit!!! :p

Been there. The easy answer is to set something in Menzoberranzan. Evil drow trying to usurp from other evil drow, that kind of thing. I've done this before, but it was with good gamers who aren't murderhobos so it played well. It can be tough if you have shitty players, though. If you want to...

Irvine started with the ghost business. He discovered that the ghost lied on multiple accounts and made sure he paid for it. It was the middle of the night when the duo entered Shrouded Hills. They went to meet Virgil's mentor but found only a couple of dead bandits (with the same amulets as...

And Merry Xmas to all and to all a good game!

It maybe it's overcompensating? Like, when people start a sentence with "Honestly," it usually means they're lying about something. :p

I got Lawful Neutral, which is usually where I land with these tests. I'm not surprised.

Crap, I am aware of that. Sorry, I've just ruined your thread. The crappy thing is that I could have used a million other things for an analogy. I didn't even need the Nazis. Then again nobody ever needs Nazis.

Absolutely not. I wear pants. Nazis wear pants. I don't have to be a Nazi just because I wear pants.

That's an easy one. Yes. There are tons of Mormons who do it every year.

(Unlike tabletop, my character names in video games tend to be rather uncreative and derivative. Irvine is the gunner character from FFVIII and Flintfire is a reference to Flint Fireforge, my favorite dwarf of all time.) Well, this is a fine kettle of fish, or kettle of whatever dwarves eat as...

I would think lawful neutral would be purgatory in that analogy.

Much like @OrlonKronsteen, I thought it was clever back in the day, but I see it as vestigial. I mean, people are going to play their characters how they are going to play them. Aside from keeping paladins in check and the like, it's generally been something that gets picked at character...

Ok, I figured out some things. It looks like, on your character sheet, your skills go to five, but really they go to 20 and every increment is four skill points. Every character point, bumps you four skill points. This makes the Dwarves' tech bonus pretty useless since +2 to skills is only a...

The strength bit was a bit of a curve ball when I discovered it, though. What's really annoying is that the wiki is crap and doesn't indicate what the strength requirement is for various weapons.

Didn't know that. Well, that saves me about a half dozen points. See, and that was my thought. Firearms is the one combat skill that complements Miracle Operation. It has the best synergy. Yeah, especially since I'm putting off my combat skills for so long, building two combat skills later is...

Possibly/probably. Once I build out her people skills and tech, I'll get into weapons. I'm having npcs fight for me now. I may go throwing/explosives instead, though, depending on how the skill points shake out. It's more expensive (I also need to pump Dex), but the throwing weapons seem better...

I took a pass on this game back in the day. I mean, I got it, but I didn't get far before I moved on to other things. It seemed like I was in for a good story, but the mechanical gameplay was just kinda janky. The feedback is also not great (e.g. I often can't tell if someone hits or misses an...

I don't cheat, so I won't explore it, but what does it do?

Yes. I definitely wouldn't praise them for their engaging gameplay. It's more that you set up your build and actual play is sort of a white noise meditative idle game. My goal is to get that character to level 100 (max level), which I honestly think won't be that hard. It's just a matter of...
