Re: something for the nerds
Yeah, that's D&D to the core: I always remember one of my pals saying in a lull of the game play:
"Lets just find something and kill it."
He had a wall of death on his bed room wall of what he had killed and how many chars he had who died (a lot).
Good times...

Re: What Characters do you play?
LOL!
I always remember a cartoon in Dragon where on ogre was tied up and being shot at with arrows. After several direct hits (with arrows sticking out of its head and face) a wizards standing to one side says "It's still got 13 hit points left; keep shooting".
Nowa days I like to run my games like action films. In the past I would be a real hard arse about verisimilatude, keeping track of encumberance and food supplies and what have you.
These days I'm more focused on players having mad skillz and pulling crazy stuntz.
Shallow is as shallow does .

Re: something for the nerds
I love CRPGs.
But it ain't role playing in a real sense. I feel they are more about building up your character or party and less about the interactions.
Not always true as some can be pretty involving (Torment for example) but it's hard to get emotionally involved in something like Oblivion.

Any one used to play Fighting Fantasy Gamebooks? I see they are being re released in the UK.
They are what got me into D&D in the first place.

Re: Fighting Fantasy
Octagon wheel thingy?
Hm, can't say I've heard of that. How old is this book?
The most popular ones were the ones based on the world of Titan and started with the Warlock of Firetop Mountain.
My favourite of all time was Talisman of Death.

Re: The Fantasy is certainly not Final... aren't they on 13 now?
Just finished Locke's side mission in South Figgaro.
Really liking this game!
Do you have an estimate on the time it takes to complete it?

Thanks, Stile.
I ground to a halt in Chrono Trigger and Secret of Mana so I need something I've never played before...

Re: Diablo III
In the interim of this thread I got into D3 on the PS4 and took a Crusader to 70th.
Good stuff!
P.S. I can't remember making this thread, lol.

The above ontological example models the zero premise to BB theory. It does so by applying the relative uniformity assumption that the alleged zero event eventually ontologically progressed from the compressed alleged sub-microscopic chaos to bloom/expand into all of the present observable order, more than it models the Biblical record evidence for the existence of Jehovah, the maximal Biblical god designer.

The explain to them any scientific investigation that explains the existence of things qualifies as science and as an explanation
-Attributed to Dawn Bertot Message 286
Does a query (thats a question Stile) that uses this physical reality, to look for an answer to its existence and properties become theoretical, considering its deductive conclusions are based against objective verifiable realities.
