    the fuck’s wrong with you?

    she doesn’t care about the Bible but people forcing religion and their religious rules on everyone else is why she’s out there with that sign; she’s fighting for her freedom from religion and her personal rights.







  • I really don’t like killing players, and when I am a player, I really don’t like having my pc killed. That being said, I like the idea of player killing, because then it ups the stakes (theoretically. I’ve never played in a permadeath campaign). Parties would have to think twice about taking on a more powerful foe, or consider running away as a very real option to avoid death, or reconsider doing absolutely stupid shit that will get them arrested and executed. It (again, theoretically) makes the game more realistic in a sense?

    But then you’re playing it, and your character you wrote a 3 page backstory for dies because of bad rolls or shitty combat balancing, and now you’re pissed because you really liked playing that character, but the dm isn’t going to rewind time and the party has no way to resurrect the character or at least preserve the body until they do have the means. Or you’re on the other side of this as a DM, and watching a good player get pissed off and quit the table because of it.










  • I’m confused where this question comes from and why you asked it, but will provide my own opinion on it.

    In the OP’s case, the book he had already purchased is a physical copy; by giving it to the kids, he transferred complete ownership and now has to purchase another book in order to have the same product for himself, providing the company with more money. With PDFs, you can just email the file and then both you and the person you gave it to have copies of the book, effectively getting 2 books for books for the price of 1.

    Legally, this is piracy/theft. Morally, both are totally acceptable in my opinion. Of course, if you like something, you should support the creators whenever possible.
