Turmoil in the Toybox, part 2: Electric Boogaloo!

Okay, the title's a trifle silly, but while my original thought was that TinT II would be better than the first, it isn't. It's no worse, mind, but that's like saying that a bullet in the chest is no worse than three knife wounds to the stomach

*grins* Ah, so that's why my daughter wanted the axe!! Although she's had it for several months and has taken it out of the box only 3 times that I know of and none of those times had any death-dealing action.

When I hear people criticizing D&D because of bad players but blaming the game, I always ask what they think about the group of businessmen who played Monopoly with real money and real businesses. Did their actions occur because the game was bad or because they used it in an immoral way?

Sometimes people are really crazy.

'Sometimes'?

All I'll say about D&D is, those gamers struck me as very creepy. No, the game won't turn you into a Satanist axe-murderer, but sheesh, guys, get a clue.

*nods* It's gamers like those who make us middle-of-the-road gamers cringe when someone starts on how bad the game is because we know the fringe element will grab the spotlight.

*grins* Okay, I'll rephrase my last line.

Some people are crazy most if not all of the time.
Some people are crazy once in a while.
Some people are fairly reasonable with a hidden paranoia.
Some people are fairly reasonable most if not all of the time.
Therefore the conclusion that can be drawn is...
Sometimes people are really crazy. :P

Didn't have to rephrase it -- I figured you were saying something like that -- but it sounds very true.

Take care!

BTW, if you want some bad gaming, check out my most recent entry and read the last paragraph!

*shakes head* I like good gaming not bad.

Speaking of which, we're looking at adding some familiar names into our game. Would you like to be a character in our games? We play in a modern-type setting, still have magic but also technology although a different type of technology, with space travel, and we play furry as well as non-furry races so you could be whatever race and profession you want. =^.^=

Umm, thanks for the invitation, but my computer time is limited (still no home internet connection), and the public access computers I use probably wouldn't allow me to chat or however it is you do online RPing.

Maybe it would help if I knew more about just how you RP? Or are you asking if you can use my name or whatever in your campaign/game? If the latter, then go ahead.

I'm deeply flattered. Thanks again!

Okay, you have now seen why I don't often post later in the evenings when my brain is trying to go to sleep. I don't explain clearly.

This would be a non-player character using your name and picture. Thus the whole asking permission and seeing what you would like to be if you could have chosen from any profession without worrying about being qualified for the position (we make the character qualified =^.^=).

We don't have a computer capable of online RPing (well my daughter does but that's in her room) so unfortunately we can't have players who can't physically come to the games. The next best thing we can do for our friends who would like to be part of our games is to offer them roles as NPCs.

"This would be a non-player character using your name and picture. Thus the whole asking permission and seeing what you would like to be if you could have chosen from any profession without worrying about being qualified for the position (we make the character qualified =^.^=)."

Sure, go ahead! And if I can be furry, then I'd like to be a wolf.

Thanks!
