Quote from: DeeLOh man... are you ever in the wrong thread.  Feel free to start a 'bucket o' daisies' thread, if you like.

I was just joking.

DO NOT WANT to be taken seriously when I'm just kidding.

DO NOT WANT to see any more 'rebel" Drow.  Considering how many of them there must be, you'd think they'd be the majority by now.
DO NOT WANT to ever hear the word Katana again.  Seriously.
DO NOT WANT all of my Dwarves to have Scottish accents.

DO NOT WANT drow that should have died out within two-hundred years of their society beginning. Seriously, I doubt they have any time for breeding what with all the time they spend killing one another, and they have the charateristic slow breeding rate of elves...

DO NOT WANT to have to see another explanation of PUN_PUN...
DO NOT WANT grimlocks. At all.
DO NOT WANT to have to bitch about anything. They should be able to read my mind...

Do Not Want the goblinoid races to be portrayed as stupider than the others.  They're AS SMART AND WISE AS WE ARE, the hobgoblin is as charismatic as we are, and the bugbear is hella stronger, fitter and faster than us.

WHAT!?

No, seriously, they're crap.

 

Sorry, but yeah, they are. Freaky grey blind things whose portraits look like my great-aunt? Hmm...

In my campaign, the grimlocks are distantly related to the githic races.  Would it change your mind if they were skinny and yellow?

I'm talking the core grimlocks. I mean... they can only "see" 60 feet around them. They couldn't survive. There is no way. They'd die out from lack of mating oppotunities...

DO NOT WANT writers block...at all
DO NOT WANT to have thought of something then forget it before being able to write it down
DO NOT WANT kobolds to be treated as stupid natives, they have to be smart if they are masters of trap building
DO NOT WANT all first meeting to start in a tavern
DO NOT WANT to hear that psionics is broken

MAn, i hate when that happens.

DO NOT WANT hack and slash (all the time).
DO NOT WANT my chem midterm.
DO NOT WANT big flashy magic (it should be subtle).
DO NOT WANT higher level characters to be indistructible (i don't care how good a fighter you are. if you're hit by a crossbow, you're probably dead).

This post may be CYNICAL.  You are supposed to be offended.  Screw you, I really could care less.  Actually... you know what?  I don't care at all.  (Actually, don't be offended... this is what I feel about stuff.  I felt I needed to say it, because otherwise, I would never do so.)

DO NOT WANT a thread on Dice Pools.  You can do elementary probability.  Good for you.  Go away.

DO NOT WANT dice pools at all.  How is taking away probablity adding interest to a game?  Seriously... I like rolling a d20, 7d6 is pushing it just a little.  *Sigh* I was going to be sarcastic, but no... 7d6 is just ridiculous.  Dice pools are dumb.  Probablity adds an uncontrollable factor which, when coupled with roleplaying, makes RPGs fun, system be damned.

DO NOT WANT a CBG system that has no identifiable purpose given anywhere.  Why I am I supposed to use this?  How is it going to be fun?  I guess its a secret or something...

DO NOT WANT to be told that my information based off of research is incorrect, and someone else's information based off of speculation is.  5 hours of research on Japanese weapons.  Shurikens should have a higher critical multiplier.  If you increase the threat range, it says it's easier to crit with.  It isn't.  It simiply is devastating when done right.  That's a higher crit multiplier.  Screw balance.

DO NOT WANT mechanics, new or otherwise, to ever be a basis for a setting.  So you've got a new magic system.  Oh, and you built a campaign setting around it?  I see.  Don't mind me while I don't care.

DO NOT WANT new magic systems, unless they really bring something new to the table.  "But limetom, mine's a mana system that has elemental and technological aspects.  Plus, each time you cast a spell, you make it up on the fly.  Fun, right?"  No.  I could care less about magic to begin with.  Make something actually unique.

DO NOT WANT everyone to announce that they're leaving or whatever.  I moved to Hawaii from Maryland and no one said anything.

[pun] I won't care if you don't. [/pun]

DO NOT WANT pointless things.  Seriously... I'm leaving this one vauge.

...

Oh!

We were supposed to be talking about stuff in D&D?

Hmm...

DO NOT WANT the current incarnations of top level outsiders, including deities.  When a fully advanced Balor could trounce Demogorgon, something is very wrong.  There is only one Demogorgon.  There is at least one fully advanced Balor, probably many more.  

Good thing Dicefreaks and Eternity Publishing fixed that little... er... major problem....

DO NOT WANT things that aren't broken to be "fixed".  Astral constructs are... broken?  Riiiiight...  Polymorph?  Maybe...

DO NOT WANT to hear that something sucks or is the best thing ever.  Especially before it comes out.  If you don't like it, why care?

[dark humor] Apathy never hurt anyone, right? [/dark humor]

______________


I doubt anyone here has ever really noticed it, but I switch from being (or at least trying to be) a compassionate and polite person to a horribly cynical and apathetic person.  I blame it on psychological conditioning carried over from depression.

This post, for example, contains things which I usually just brush off, even though they annoy the carp out of me.  Occasionally, I'll do this as a catharsis, and also just to be an ass.  I like being an ass sometimes.

Make of this what you will.

DO NOT WANT people to make excuses for their actions based on claims of anything psychological.  There is such a thing as culpability, brain damage be damned.  I'm a dick, you're a dick, we're all dicks, just be a dick and be done with it, so we can point the finger at you and CALL you a dick.

DO NOT WANT to respond to honest and merited criticism through offhanded, crude assertions of disinterest.  I should take everything in stride, instead of acting like the little shit I know I'm not.

Having said that, I DO NOT WANT to ever hear "constructive" criticism.  Give me nothing but PRAISE!

DO NOT WANT to keep churning out the nuggets of a setting idea and advertising it as a full setting in progress.  I KNOW it'll never get made.  I KNOW I only have and ever will have one dedicated setting, and I should stick to that because it's the shiz.

DO NOT WANT epic level progressions.  Not on any ideological grounds, they just make no freakin' sense!  AT ALL!  How does thirty-five levels of "experience" make you resistant to 150 critical daggerstrikes to the face, Mr. Barbarian!?!

It therefore follows that I DO NOT WANT there to exist any dragon more powerful than the red.  The whole POINT of a dragon is that it waits around on a pile of gold to get HACKED REPEATEDLY IN THE FACE BY TORDEK (That's right, Tordek), and you CERTAINLY don't need anything badder than CR 26 to accomplish that (there's a reason why it's the most powerful critter in the manual - and no, I don't count the two uber "good dragons", because they DO NOT EXIST).

DO NOT WANT to think racist or sexist thoughts.

DO NOT WANT to hear people say they never do.  You SO do, so stop acting like a pretentious prat with a command-word-activated staff of the magi up your ass!  I'm sure there are truly unprejudiced people in the world, but you ain't one of them.  Really, you're not.

DO NOT WANT people to take personal offense to what goes on in my head.  I'm sure if I had a look in your head I'd have cause to be just as offended.  But I won't, because I'm not an idiot.

On a simiar principle, I DO NOT WANT to ever hear "alchohol reveals who you truly are".  What a load of nalfeshnee piss.  If any one of you got sloshed off your nut, I guarantee you'd say something as incriminating as Mel Gibson - if not, you'd probably have the potential for it (see above point).  If we truly are what we appear to be when we're drunk, then what are we the other 99% of the time when we're stone sober?  Fakes?  The whole point of our minds keeping things in our subconscious is that they aren't necessarily our opinions!  What if I think "dammit, I lost out to a chick", but then say to myself "hey, man, that's inappropriate, derogatory and below you".  Am I to be judged on a single chauvinist, alchohol induced utterance even if I otherwise make every effort to be noble and moderate?

If that's the case, you can all go to hell.  And tell Fierna I sent you.

DO NOT WANT to see anyone of any generation or ethnicity, lauding the ghetto sound or lifestyle.  Good job idiots; way to set our people back three hundred years.

DO NOT WANT faith healers, televangelists, Mormons and Jehova's Witnesses to ever go out of style.  You guys are too much fun!

[note=I am SKYNET!][/note]DO NOT WANT "morality" to ever inhibit our progression towards true Artificial Intelligence and the subsequent technological singularity.  'Cos remember kids, there's no such thing as a crime against humanity when you have no capacity for moral thought.

DO NOT WANT anyone to confuse desire (or lack thereof) with an assumption of correctness.  Just because I'd rather see/not see something doesn't mean I'm right.  There is nothing objective in these statements, and I know it.  If you think otherwise, come closer so I can set fire to your gonads.

DO NOT WANT this to ever become a normal forum.  It's not.  It's the best thing about the internet next to THIS.


Oh yeah, and limetom sucks.  And dice pools are the best thing ever.

EVER.

Oh yeah, and I DO WANT you to take this seriously.  Seriously.

[spoiler=SERIOUSLY?]No.  You're so gullible.[/spoiler]

Got Spite?
