I can't speak to the Norwegian situation because I know nothing about it. However, I can comment on the Hurricane Katrina situation, having friends who live in that area, knowing a couple FEMA officials (county only, no one high level), having a sist...  [Read More]

But it didn't do that...at all. All that source did was muddy the water with falsehoods and try to spin the facts in a way to make the ACLU appear to do the things you were saying it was doing. The ACLU either filed suit against Christian activities...  [Read More]

Uh. That wiki link shows that NAMBLA is an association, not a corproation, therefore, it is not repsonsible for anything, since it is merely an association. I'm not about to go click on Nambla's site to find out its exact legal status. There are as...  [Read More]

This is by no means anywhere near exhaustive. It would take me an entire book to list all the cases where the ACLU targeted religion (almost exclusively Christian), or did not defend the civil liberties of a religious organization that was clearly ha...  [Read More]

Yes, with 9 year olds, that's definitely a consideration. I play exclusively with adult players these days (even if we do play 2e AD&D), so I have the luxury of adding far more complex material and deep plots to the games. Heck, we can go for sev...  [Read More]

Heck, I'd give more xp than killing the monster would kill, since that's a greater challenge. Sometimes that means capturing the monster, which is definitely more difficult than just putting a sword in it. Definitely. I've _never_ given xp for findin...  [Read More]

There is no defence of that system! :vadar: "The D20 system is an ok system for possibly trying to hook kids on the idea of playing RPG's, it is a simple-er game system to learn." ;) It's not just that it's simpler to learn (which it is)-...  [Read More]
