Any new author who contributes to WOC worlds can tell you that they are pretty much told by WOC what their plots will contain. Although the writer may argue a point or two, the bottom line is that WOC gets what they want. Established authors get much more leeway in what they do, but still get "...

Well, I recently went on a little jaunt under Waterdeep to help out with a quest. I spent about 20 plat more on repairs than I was able to pick up and sell when all was said and done. On the positive side though, The RP alone made it a fair trade. In addition, I earned enough XP to level and managed...

Frankkin certainly qualifies to run for "the most turned down" category.

Fascinating. I thought for sure anyone reading my previous post would realize I was discussing something other than violence. Regardless, my workplace was the USMC, so killing was part of the job. Guess that makes me a retired killer?

I believe the issue of "how far to go" in a public RP is summed up in the rules as follows: "Anything that is considered unacceptable in the normal workplace can be considered unacceptable in public on Forgotten Kingdoms." I believe that standard was also implied in the private R...

I believe we are in agreement, Kregor. I know I did not provide a long list of exceptions, but the ones you provided helped to increase that list. I believe that if it is poor RP to steal something, then it should not be stolen. As noted in the preceding post, it is also good RP to promote the decep...

Whatever happened to the individual character's responsibility for the safekeeping of their belongings? There are PLENTY of warnings in game that remind players to act responsibly because there are thieves about. Let me put this into IRL perspective a moment. I park on the street in downtown Detroit...

Heartbreak Ridge: Just don't bore me!

Such an idea would dramatically decrease the amount of people that can be contacted when you are dead.

Host creature? Didn't we do away with those?

Perhaps it will help to know that DnD measurements are in imperial scale rather than metric scale.

This is in response to Lukon's post above. There's one problem with the idea that evil is expected to eventually lose. The problem is that it is not expected to happen in the lifetime of any mortal. Evil will destroy all that is good before it turns its attention upon itself and destroys all that is...

Reganomics (supply-side economics) means a drastic overhaul of the economics code. Although it would make it quite expensive to hoard all of a given item by purchase alone, it still would not completely solve the "hoarding problem" because the number of any given object in game is finite.

Perhaps Lord K would like to see us all just play dead....then we'd all be in his realm, right? Hmmmm...is that truth or irony?

I agree with the "pet peeves" listed so far and I hope none will take offence or umbrage to anything said here in the spirit of constructive criticism. There are several descriptions out there that scream "help me" when I read them. Most have some pretty good, creative, ideas in ...

One other point to consider. The Drow attitude of superiority would probably have them using the orcs as "cannon fodder" or worse, slaves.

Dalvyn wrote: If I had to answer the question "What is your number one pet peeve when you are roleplaying with someone?", I would definitely answer that what I hate the most is when people seem to not be paying attention to the roleplay. If someone is slow to answer, I can't help but thin...

Perhaps, gentlemen, you will consider the quandry of a woman's purse. The contents surely take more volume than is indicated by the size of the purse. Getting thwapped in the head with a purse also indicates the weight of such items exceeds the capability a mere leather strap to support.

First, I'd like to address what Leohand was talking about in the creation of low statistics. Playing a low-stat character can be both fun and quite challenging. I would prefer to start with all my stats at 3 and have more points to allocate in creation. That would allow a player to create the gruff ...

Personally, when sleeping in a combat zone, my kevlar is strapped on loosely as is my bodyarmour. One never knows when the next firefight or mortar attack will come. If I caught one of my Marines dropping their gear, they were guaranteed to remember the experience. That being said, a player who slee...
