Hey! It's not because they just wanted skittles! They also wanted to eat some M&M's. |

Except for Phil. Phil has to eat the chalky, unpleasant candy hearts from February. |

Not eight month old ones. They're stale. |

That's what we're doing in our group: in parallel with the main story also playing the game in the past when one of our character was a kid, his "start of darkness". No fear of time paradoxes can prevent people from having fun! |

Time Paradox? You know the character is present in the future. All sorts of bad stuff can happen in the past, up to and including death. |

I've been outlawed from plot twists and/or time travel gameplay of any kind. I tend to abuse them. Not to hack the game, so to speak. Mostly to slowly terrify my fellow players. |
22nd Oct 2014, 2:14 PM"Time Twist? Plot Paradox!"
Hehehehe... Reminds me of this one time, during a Comment Warriors game (sorta like D&D except dice only needed be rolled for specific things, and we didn't consider ourselves as having levels, instead just having a set number of weapons and attacks and such from the beginning), where my Phoenix Unicorn hybrid, Hephaestus Ironwright, was fighting against a Cosmosus and a Chronicorn (Space pegasus and Time unicorn basically), and started killing himself over and over, the explosive blasts of his body turning to ash (only for him to be reborn again) causing only enough damage to be considered a slap on the wrist, but due to the Chronicorn's magic, he was able to age up to a few thousand years old in only a few minutes, or his normal age of 800 in a few seconds. So he stood there, dodging their attacks, and let his age exceed three eons, and then wiped out half the universe-- mainly, he obliterated the Cosmosus completely, but the Chronicorn was able to live by skipping its own internal clock backwards to right after its birth. Unwilling to kill a child, even one such as a Demigod Unicorn Super-Saiyan Timelord, he instead decided to raise him as a son, and called him Dust, as his actual daughter was already named Ashen Soot. |

My mage friend in our Pathfinder game has made a demiplane with "Fixed" time. Time would not go forward for him as long as he's inside, allowing him to craft any item in the blink of an eye. This led me 2 days ago to wonder what would happen if he let an alchemist friend (me) go inside with him but went outside without him. I'd imagined he wouldn't find his friend back when he'd go back in the plane, since he'd go in "after" the fixed moment his friend was there. Or he'd find his friend after an infinite amount of time, and from THIS scenario, there were more time paradoxes:If he went to the moment HE entered when he'd get out, the Alchemist would end up in the Mage's past, rewriting the mage's present by merely being there. If he went to the moment the Mage went to get him back, he'd have travelled into the future!! |

Pludering? ^^ |

as awesome as skittles are, a skittle cake sounds like a horrifying idea - where do you find test subjects for mad recipes? |
23rd Oct 2014, 8:19 AM
Skittle cakes are simply bite sized cupcakes, flavored with skittles. I mostly experiment on myself, though if a recipe passes initial testing, I will perform further testing on the nice people at the church down the street. They do so love it when I bring them tasty treats. |

There's a chruch that doesn't attempt to set fire to a dnd player? Northerners are wierd. |
23rd Oct 2014, 11:29 PM
yes there is. there is also a church where i was playing Magic, and one of the parishioners called me a devil worshiper. i simply replied to him that acknowledgement was also a form of worship, and he shut up. none the less, it was amusing to say the least. Muahahaha. |
23rd Oct 2014, 11:46 PM
Actually, I'm in the midwest. In a small town in the midwest. They more or less understand it's a chance to hang out with other nerds, eat stuff, and goof around. |
23rd Oct 2014, 11:47 PM"Probably a more serious commentary than anyone cares to read."
I'm not sure what my current church's policy is about RPGs and TCGs, because it hasn't really come up. It isn't like I play them while I'm in the building, though it has come up in conversation from time to time and so far no one has said anything. I think that is one of the key things to remember; what was the early face of gaming? |
24th Oct 2014, 7:41 AM
While i will admit to belonging to the predominant religius group in my country (nonbeliver), i personaly think that more rolplayers should study religion to up their game. |
24th Oct 2014, 8:55 AM
Are you kidding? Stuff from the old testament works in soooo many settings, not just D&D. Need a frightening disease? Leprosy. Need a badass death? Didn't die, he was carried to heaven in a chariot of fire by angels. Need an ecological disaster? Turn all the water to blood! |

For the evil druid build, Elisha is almost to evil to be alowed in most parties. |
24th Oct 2014, 9:19 AM
I seem to remember seeing an actual part of the taxcode in there... then i skiped to the part about how god enjoys the smell of burnt flesh. God stuff, made som notes for my fire domain cleric |

Useful for some guys? Dude, if you translate the names of the line from Adam to Noah in Genesis 5 you get the gospel in a nutshell. |
24th Oct 2014, 7:25 PM
There's an entire book dedicated to the laws of Israel. A lot of it is no longer needed, like the harsh penalties for petty theft, or term limits on debt slavery. |
25th Oct 2014, 6:20 AM
Yeah, i once read up on it to help my paladin game. Bit boring, but it did help. |
24th Oct 2014, 9:04 AM
I find it amusing that there's still the old Satanic Panic about demons and devils and such, when the whole "Other gods" thing is just a little bit more front and center to modern play. |
24th Oct 2014, 9:33 AM
I normaly go for slightly more obscure stories, makes it slightly harder for my players to realise what they are about to face. |
24th Oct 2014, 1:27 PM
Imagine ragnarok in space, and fought with giant battle cruisers. Congratulations, you now have a campaign. |
25th Oct 2014, 8:37 AM""I have at least three end of the world campaigns, two of which, the players are the bad guys without realizing it.""
@Raxon: And in the third they're the bad guys and perfectly aware of the fact? |
26th Oct 2014, 10:05 AM
Ah yes, that happened to my Players in my first Major Campaign (lastet 5+ years), when they, unknowingly, helped the true Bad Guy ursurp the "Actually only slightly darker than themselves" guy buy simply introducing the two and working a few adventures with the TBB. |
25th Oct 2014, 2:54 PM
I guess I'm lucky. My equivalent of a pastor (We call them captains in the salvation army church) plays MTG and WH40K with me. We've been good friends for years. |
25th Oct 2014, 11:19 PM
The closest thing to a pastor i have had (guy about a term away from being one) introduced me to paranoia and cthulhu... |
24th Oct 2014, 8:58 AM
We once had that problem, we knew that my char was going to be alive at a certain place a few hours later, wich made it quite awkward when our mage was beating him up and trying to crack his skull due to me being demonposesed and trying to kill him... |

I am scandalized by you repeated instance of product placement on the behalf of the skittles brand !! |
1st Jul 2021, 7:09 PM"They just wanted to eat skittles at this point."
I was about to comment exactly what Rika said ! |
