...Dammit... now I want to write... >_< stupid school work!! Don't worry, it took six years of on and off concentration on pretty much just that system, and at least 40 revisions (though actually, I lost count) to get my book to where it stands today. Its not something to feel rushed over... :) I t...

^_^ LOL, harper. You wrote it - PLUG AWAY!! I don't care and I'm impressed. It must feel good to hold something in your hands that you created that's been put together like that. GOOD JOB!! You must be feeling proud! People were probably staring at me rather strangely when I went to pick the proof ...

Whee, my Anime RPG, Aniventure, is released for public consumption: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/aniventure/11917874 Available in Paperback, Hardback, and PDF too. [/Shameless plug] Don't worry, I'm not going to bring it up again. Probably. Though I have been dancing the happy dance to see ...

Long live the Lord of Azure!!

Well, in my case its 'pirate' the stuff I otherwise wouldn't be able to afford to buy, but still want, LOL, but yeah. There was a time when I was righteous to a fault about attempting to avoid piracy. But eventually, one of those few difficult financial years pops up where you can barely afford to e...

Personally, I've always believed in the 'You made your bed, now you can lie on it' schism. If you set yourself up to feel you deserve all evils of the world, then sure, you do. But the very fact that you feel that way means you're having regrets about it and hence, you're lying to yourself. There ha...

I never considered reading OneManga to be thievery: I have a stack load of Manga (the entire top two shelves of my giant bookcase) and I certainly have ALWAYS supported the industry. Going by that logic suggests its wrong for me d/l fansubs; despite the fact I've spent hundreds of pounds on Anime DV...

Wow, thats a pain. I kinda liked the ability to just stroll onto oneManga and randomly read something. Since I'm unlikely to read a manga again, once read, for at least a year or so, and unlike a book they're consumed within an hour or two, I'm always adverse to shelling out for them. Jeez, the indu...

Ah, no, the only reason I dislike this is because its definition ~could~ cross over into LARP territory, because in some peoples definition, 'playing make believe' suggests involving outfits and suchlike. Which in itself is dangerous, because then you get unintiated people thinking you might be talk...

I've never played one or seen how one is played. I, honestly, couldn't even begin to fathom HOW they are played. There's something to do with a GM... dice... and that's about all I know. The best example I've ever used is: 'A bunch of mates get together around a table and narrate a story'. Most of ...

Fair enough... I can totally understand if thats all they do. Fortunately, I have a group of open-minded geeky mates who completely not goths, so I can get away with it. In fact, Dark Ages just more often ended up funny when I GM'ed it, especially with our over-acting hammy Malkavian and their ghoul...

Only if you read all the decadent attached literature and play it with a bunch of goths (which, admittedly, I did see once: as you say, not pleasant). Dark Ages is a better setting, IMHO, since its not modern, and hey, the middle ages is supposed to dull and gloomy, and the war of the princes is a f...

Ah yeah, to clarify, I'm a fairly experienced GM. Until quite recently I had an exhausting schedule of running 3 campaigns at once: 4th Ed D&D, Pendragon, and Vampire Dark Ages (sorry Risea, that is indeed oWoD: personally not my favourite system, but it was the best backdrop for a campaign base...

For the Armamentalist quest, I used a single Wizard Ward + Metal Slash character since I didn't want to waste skill points on a class tree I never planned to use. Ever. If I had just went with 4x Ward + MS characters, it would've been a lot easier. Since I didn't, it was just stupid frustrating to ...
