It's probably because sexual reproduction produces the errors anyway, and those errors are called evil by the parents/community, who then float those errors down the river so the gods can decide what to do with them. Dog breeding is quite a bit older than cloning, and has already resulted in...

Humans needed to clone something 58 times to see why mutation and Darwinism have worked for eons?

Wow! Way more convenient than the previous GLOGs* I've seen. The "dice" category in the overviews doesn't seem to be doing much work; it seems to mean "you won't be able to play this game if you're missing this die in your set." What about diceless games? I might like to see categories like...

Or Serj Tankian? Does mustache exclude goatees or beards?

No, those are for transporting ectoplasm. In fact, a ghost trap looks a bit too large for 92 anti . . . Negatrons?

This is pretty dang good. Well. Thing. If memory serves, that Joker was actually chaotic good. Or CN...

Half the players of next!

Step 1: print 20 shirts that say "I'm always right" on front, and "Rule Zero" on the back. Hand them out to any "GM" who completes a game session. Step 2: run easier games. D&D has one rule book for all the rules, another rule book that tells you how to use those rules, and another one that's...

And here I thought it was a thread about how WotC broke 6e. 5.5e. I guess I have some reading to do . . .

I think resurrecting 9 year old threads is silly.

Players are like toddlers; it helps to tire them out. Throw a handful of d20s across the room and tell them they can keep whichever roll they grab first!

I think I get it. One skill check is no bueno- there have to be competing or mutually exclusive checks . . . Then skills are more acceptable. Wasn't trying to be obnoxious (probably just tired), but it seems appropriate given the thread title and some admittedly facetious responses. It's...

I'm just trying to wrap my head around what a PC is in a roll-playing game. I guess there's what the character is (attributes), what the character does (skills), possessions, background/history (where skills originate), and what, superficial elements? I'm sure that I'm missing a category or...

Sure. It seems "skilled" is in the eye of the beholder, here. Not sure which skill you're looking for, but there's skill in designing a character, skill in knowing what one has put on the character sheet and how to use it, and skill in role-playing the character in a way that maximizes...
