    Could you link to a rulebook? I've been wanting to try a good Who PNP for quite a while.

    Admittedly, I have never experienced having a pregnant missus, but I've heard they can be very vicious. I assume Enoch is trying not to indulge to prevent Mrs.Enoch from chopping off his head out of anger. Why would you torture yourself?

    Fixed. You were actually pretty close though. I'm coming from this using the definitions of Role-playing and Game, you're coming from a correlation=causation direction. It's obvious that neither of us will concede, so this back and forth is a waste of time. It has been a while, so no. Regardless, it meets the criteria of allowing Role-Playing, thus being a Role-Playing Game.

    Challenges are not tied to an advancement mechanic at all. You can have challenges without advancement mechanics. Except that it isn't how it went at all. Here is how it went: Me: All a role-playing game needs to be a role-playing game is to be a game with role-playing. You: No, it needs an advancement mechanic. Me: An advancement mechanic is not required of either role-playing or game, so it isn't required for a role-paying game. You: Yes it does, because Role-Playing Games have advancement mechanics. No, you can buy clothes and stuff.

    That doesn't prove anything. There is nothing in Role-Playing Game that is intrinsically tied to an advancement mechanic. Your explanation is the equivalent to saying "God exists, because the Bible says so". You create the player, teammates react to how you play, have to choose endorsements, have C&C talks with the GM.

    As I understand, some prefer it when sequels do not follow the same protagonist. I personally do not care one way or the other.
  7. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Then prove it. Yes, the MyCareer mode in that game is a Role-Playing Game. Far more of one than BioWare's recent relases.

    **** I'm sorry dude. Didn't mean to dig at anyone with autism.
  9. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I don't have to. The definition does not require it, therefore it is not a requirement. If you disagree, show me exactly which part of "Role-Playing Game" the requirement for an advancement leveling mechanic is.
  10. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Is that an English thing or a middle-age thing?
  11. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I can't give you an example because you're asking me to provide an example of something that I've never argued should exist. Really? You haven't argued that Roleplaying is the ONLY thing required for something to be called an RPG? Was it a different KaineParker, then, who said this? ^Emphasis yours. You know what Stun, you're right. I assumed that you were capable of understanding "game" as "a group of rules or challenges". My fault for assuming that you have an elementary level of reading ability, I apologize for assuming competence on your part. In language hopefully even Stun is capable of comprehending, a Role-Playing Game must have 1) Role-Playing and 2) a group of rules or challenges. I've never claimed such a thing existed, so no. Now, please prove your claim that a Role-Playing Game must 1) contain an advancement mechanic and 2) must meet "the laws of capitalism". I've already given a refutation of both with 1) nothing in the name Role-Playing Game presents a requirement for advancement mechanics and 2) Not only are those laws non-existent, but by that logic John Carpenter is not a Sci-Fi movie because it flopped. 1. You hit the nail on the head. 2. I hope so as well. The alternative is honestly frightening.

    One of us is using actual definitions and proper use of English. The only is throwing a butthurt tantrum. You are the latter princess.
  13. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I can't give you an example because you're asking me to provide an example of something that I've never argued should exist. If use of the word "game" is that over your head, I highly suggest educating yourself on the function of nouns.
  14. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I used the word game in every instance, it was clear I was talking about games specifically. If that went over your head, you should become acquainted with the function of nouns.I see. So then, you should have no problems whatsoever citing me one Game.... one Role Playing Game in the history of computer gaming, that had Role Playing and NOTHING ELSE. Oh Boy! A Likes contest!! What are you, 12? Stun, are you mentally ill? No sane person is this pedantic.

    MCA certainly has good taste in comics. I agree that Snyder's run is very good, particularly the Death of the Family arc that featured The Joker.
  16. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Yes. Your life has been a lie. I used the word game in every instance, it was clear I was talking about games specifically. If that went over your head, you should become acquainted with the function of nouns. Again, a role-playing game is a game with role-playing. There is no requirement for any specific mechanics. None of my statements contradict that in any whatsoever. Judging by the "likes" my posts received, tajero and aluminumtrioxide both got that.

    Wait, is that your wife? If so, well done Hurlie.

    It killed his father.

    Is Hurlshot dumping his 90's bikini stash on us?
  20. PK htiw klaw eriF
    Well, this federal employee thanks you! Well, if I look at it as buying you a drink (or many) it does take some of the sting out of it I wouldn't temp Enoch with a drink just yet, he has to show a measure of control till Mrs. Enoch pops out Enoch JR.
  21. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I would laugh at this, but I'm starting to think you really are this obtuse. In every instance discussing Role-Playing Games, I used the word "Game". Game is a noun, Stun. Surely I don't have to explain the concept of a noun to you? If I say "the only thing a role-playing game requires to be a role-playing game is role-playing", it is very clear to anyone with a basic understanding of English that I'm talking about a game. Not a graphic novel, television show, software program, chat room, or novel, but a game. If you aren't capable of following that, then I highly suggest taking a beginner's course in English.

    I think Watchmen's real strength is the splendid use of panels. I'll have to dig out my trade, but I remember being very impressed with how the most seemingly random elements were either foreshadowing or played a part in the story. A shame that Moore's recent work is such dreck.
  23. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I personally enjoy comics as a story-telling medium. Most are pure ****, but the few good ones manage to combine good pencils and writing in a pleasing manner.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I would pity you, but I'm a soul-less monster without a shred of decency. Enjoy having Aerie whine every fifteen minutes!

    I'd like to dig down in some hidden locations.
