Okay, I'm taking that. It's mine now. It's beautiful.

It takes a while to get through the blagh that the midseason brings, each and every season.
Well, sure, but that's why you read GoT and don't watch it. Also, bad endings and all that.
Aye, take my upbone and have a wish.
That's why fmhy chose the .ml, but lemmygrad and lemmy paid for theirs, which is why they can still use it while fmhy.ml went tits up.
Because DnD did start as a wargame, right? Before the red box came the 50 figure armies. I think there used to be a little history written by Gygax about how they started.
Anyway, I don't mind the focus on combat. I like that roll-playing and role-playing are separated. My favorite groups had no issue with playing their dumb fighter as a dumb fighter, and the smooth talking noble as a smooth talker. I like the approach others have taken, like the social combat in exalted, or powered-by-the-apocalypse system, but it has led to a few players in my groups just wanting to roll the dice every time and not talk at all.
Sheesh, I'll leave this here for both of you.
