I suppose in a way he probably did, whether he was or was not the messiah he gave a great many people meaning and purpose in their lives, by all accounts some of those people lived pretty crappy lives, i'm sure some of them were depressed.

This being comic books though, I haven't a clue who the current Robin is.
I did not know that.

Depends what comics we're talking about, some are confusing, and others are straightforward, in any case i have a great distaste for many of the newer marvel/dc comics.

That *was* an awesome movie, but i thought Tim Drake was still robin, and i know he isn't Bruce Waynes son, because his father died.

I thought his son was a homicidal crazy who wanted to kill him?

That comic is very good for summing up depression for those who may not understand it, however, reading it makes me feel pretty crappy.

They've been partners for over 70 years; doesn't all that time together mean anything to them?That's as confounding as when I heard about pairs of men dressed as Batman and Robin scaling buildings in the UK, for some reason involving divorce or some such.Wait what?
Batman has divorced the various robins plenty of times, hence the thirtythousand robin spinoffs.

« on: September 12, 2012, 11:45:19 pm »I prefer vastly more freeform games, since I'm not too interested in the wargame aspect. If the dice are rolled for anything other than A) choosing between two or more equally awesome possibilities, or B) the neat sound they make, it's too strict for me.
That's a very valid opinion, i like most forms of roleplaying myself. I don't play dnd as much as a wargame per se, more as an interactive story written partially by players, but that's how i see pretty much every roleplaying game. I'm actually going over to a friends place to play a homebrewed rpg of his own devising tomorrow actually.

Pretty much all fighter types get heavily nerfed in high/epic levels, i will say that, but the accessibility of dnd comes from the sheer number of possibilities in it's gameplay, anyone can play the game pretty much however they want. I personally have never had a problem with the mechanics versus. difficulty, i aim for everyone to have fun when i dm, and i manage that fine, so i guess it's a little difficult for me to see where you're coming from. I do disagree with your point that mechanics beats careful thought in dnd, intelligent gameplay will always win out, as long as the gamepplay isn't too linear.

My ears are burning.
Frankly, they must be going up against some really weak enemies or be at a very low level to still remain relevant. Granted, if everything is relegated to "You hit it" or "you cast fireball" Or "you cast CLW", then they should be fine, as long as any number of creatures with useful SLAs are never encountered for any reason ever.
It's all about intelligent gameplay and tactical thinking, any one can use their unique skill set to good effect if they play the individual encounters just as they are... unique and individual encounters, just as any style consider OP can be cancelled out by specific situations and smart villians.

For a lot of roleplayers out there power-gaming just ruins the fun of the game, every one should be able to have fun with dnd, not just op players. Half the reason dnd is so great is because it's easily accessible for most kinds of gamers as long as one has a good dm who takes effort to make it fun for everyone.

Monks are powerful in very specific ways, but not necessarily overpowered, as there are plenty of drawbacks to the class. If you're looking for a finesse fighter type the swashbuckler is a pretty decent choice, i could send you complete warrior if you don't have access to it.

Hardened mercenaries do hardened work yes... but they could also get us well on the way of becoming a trained warrior, i think that we should try to bargain for their aid as well. Their assistance would likely mean a recommendation from royalty as well, not such a small thing for struggling mercenaries seeking work. We've been thrust into the role of warrior, we may as well do what we can to live up to that.
Note: That does not mean that i don't think we should go warn the castle, half the point is securing their aid for the journey.

A Valiant dwarven baby was struck down by a troglodyte today, it made me all the more sad that it's wee head was crushed after punching the monster in the face. On the plus side, it brought me great joy to see Xanatos in a profile picture, truly a high caliber villian.
