Judge Hades

You should try to run Oblivion on it.

He worshiped Lucifer/Semyaz/Satan actually. Don't you know that Christianity is a polytheistic religion?

Well, technically he was a half-fiend great wyrm dragon and he worshipped a power within the Christian religion so technically... The best part about the campaign was it didn't have any sort of apparent magic in it till the players were well into their career paths for their characters. It was a largely unmagical modern campaign with a demon dragon and a magic sword in it. HA! Oh, the inspiration came from the epic poem called The Faerie Queene. A middle english Protestant bias epic poem if memory serves.

Yep. THink about all the legends about dragons. THink on one who survive the draconic purge from the middle ages, slowly winding into the higher echelons of the Catholic Church, and during modern times spread out his wealth, power, and influence in the corporate arena especially in biotech companies that are doing stem cell research and cloning. Ah, the possibilities... There was only one weapon that could really hurt him to. The Sword of St. George, whih could only be wielded by one of St. George's bloodline.

Depends on how it is done. In my last d20 Modern campaign I had a great wyrm dragon set up an machination that would have brought human civilization to its knees if he wasn't stopped.

No, that is a post apocalyptic future times. I am talking about a CRPG that is set in 2006 A.D.

I'm a gamer. What do you expect? An 18 Charisma?

That is why we need a CRPG set in modern times so such issues could be explored.

Here I am trying to have a decently civil and mature discussion and you post drivel like that. Typical.

Actually, they were. I come from a very conservative town where the motto was "God made Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve." In one of sociology classes that I took that was one kid's actual argument and he thought it was perfectly valid. So did the teacher.

OH NOES! MONTY PYTHON IS SLOWLY CHANGING REALITY! *runs to find the holy hand grenade of Antioch*

That was a separate song sung to the tune of Goerge of the Jungle. Sorry for the confusion.

The actual attack yes, but setting wait for a charge is what I am talking about there.

That was meaningful combat which we need to see in our CRPGs. It had strategy, and story value. Let me just say those guys' perception of me changed a bit after that. If a developer could mimic that level od social interaction in a combat system it would be cool. (w00t)

Its a danish, not a donut. A DANISH!

I do not! Grrr...

*Hades begins sto sing again* Star Treking across the universe! Always going forward because we can't find reverse! Star Treking across the universe! On the starship Enterprise, under Captain Kirk! Zefram Cochrane, inventer of the warp drive! Watch out for the Enterprise! BWAAHAAAHAAAA!

Man, I hated the preppies. Everyone of them were arrogant SOBs that needed to be taken down a peg. I mostly stayed in the background of high school politics, though I was quite active in the school paper. Man, people hated my editorials. I took on the role of a liberal democrat in a school full of future republicans. HA!

Its nothing to do with showing bullies off, its about the combat. You see the dynamics of that encounter is that I was basically readying an action against a charge attack. When the opponent was in range of my melee weapon I struck and scored a critical hit. Now that alone made the other 3, lets call them mobs, fail their morale check and decide to look for an easier target.

I don't. Man, I really am a mean old bastard.

That's okay. I feel like commenting anyway. AND THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT! HAHAHAHA! Wait a minute, you are a mod... DOH!

Um, no, I wasn't and I got in a lot of fights. Won most of them to. there was this one time this kid and 3 of his friends decide to chase down the fat kid down an alley. They were all about a year ot three older as well. So they yelled and screamed, then charged at me. What they didn't know that I had 20 pounts worth of ADnD 1e hardcover books in my duffelbag. Just when the first kid was in reach I swung hard and slammed the book bag right into him. The force knocked him into the brick wall. He had a gushing nose bleed, a chipped tooth, and was knocked in a daze. The other 3 just stood there and looked dumbfounded. God, I love critical hits.

Parked car, but yes.

But do they achieve greatness to feed their own hubris, do they become great by happenstance, or people just think they are great when in truth they are just mediecre? My current PnP character is going through a tough time. She is a part of a military unit and comes from a nation that despises all magic and kills all magic users upon site. Think Salem Witch trials on a massive scale and without the trial. Hell, on the the players had his character kill off another player's character for he beleived he was using magic. This wouldn't be bad if my character didn't come from a magical background, such as being Atlantean. She is very much thinking about her own survival which may end up me killing the other player characters which as a player does not sit well with me.

I know that it isn't popular, but the good things in life rarely are the popular things in life. Learned that in high school The main problem I have with MMORPGs is the additional people. Most are a bunch of pubescent asses. Its not the game itself or the genre I hate, its the people it attracts.
