At least in Salmon I know what my character is, instead of having to assume some enigmatic minimalist "persona."<br /><br />For fuck's sake: this isn't fiction, people. You aren't trying to get a reaction through the EMOTIONAL, MYSTERIOUS content of the rules themselves, but rather through the situations the rules enable. The rules ought to be set down concretely, with edits not being made on the fly unless it's to cover something unexpected, and then only with clear indication that something has changed!<br /><br />If the rules clearly state that Bob Fighter will die if an attacker rolls 4+ on d8, you bet your ass the party will be tense when it happens - they know the stakes!<br /><br />But I've said this a hundred times, and you a thousand and one.Maxwell Joslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309867478186083339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-70735634320803996042015-04-22T18:20:43.176-06:002015-04-22T18:20:43.176-06:00Jeeeee-sus.Jeeeee-sus.Maxwell Joslynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02309867478186083339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3871409676946408069.post-40149051661166108792015-04-22T16:10:59.113-06:002015-04-22T16:10:59.113-06:00I also forgot to put a word maximum on the contest...I also forgot to put a word maximum on the contest.

The salmon game (you ARE funny, man), Mr. Schurduan *not* getting it (wow), and your contest (which is fabulous). I'm chuckling just writing this comment.<br /><br />Um...your first link in the post appears to be going to the wrong place (a map of Palestine), just BTW.
