One fine day, you might decide that you need to leave Narutoforums. So you go into the lounge, the Blender, the Bath-House, or Spy Smasher's Sexy Shack, to say your goodbyes.
After being mocked viciously you slink away from the forums in shame, never to be heard from again. Eventually...
Dear various people, Cafe-goers, Members of Naruto Fan, and assorted wonks. Every so often you might after a particularly vigorous argument around the Cafe or elsewhere and
get a PM titled something like "You have received an infraction at Narutofan forums.
Although you might find such...
The much debated and cataloged Dragon Ball Z power level is a source of constant consternation and fan-wank. When Vegeta is shown blowing up planets at 18,000, it gives the rest of the series an absurd feel.
Technically many DBZ characters, if the power level scale is linear, ought to cause...

So I'm sure if you look at my blog you'll notice lots and lots of D&D characters. But today I'm going to only talk about three of them and how I came up with the ideas for them.
Sebastian Jacobs -- Cleric/Radiant Servant.
Sebastian gets around as a D&D character. Currently he's in two game...

Possessed is an Acquired Template that can be applied to any humanoid creature.
Becoming a Possessed One. Becoming a Possessed One requires that the creature be the target of a ritual, and fail a will save. Or they could just fail a special will save

So I gave some thought to the idea that bards suck. Let's make one that doesn't suck. In fact lets make one that rocks. Meet Rebecca. You will listen to her song. And you will like it.

Being good doesn't mean you do the right thing all the time. Rather, being good means that your conscience refuses to shut up about all the stupid shit you've done and the people you've hurt.
When that voice inside of you stops screaming, and you stop listening, then I would say you're an...
Everyone thinks that fighters in 3.5 suck. I for one think otherwise. Fighters, with their wide array of feats, are quite possibly the most useful 3.5 class ever unless you're running a rogue-ish campaign. If you're running a battle campaign, a fighter is of paramount importance.
Here's an...

I cannot draw, I cannot dance, and I can carry a tune with neither instrument nor voice. In speaking I am bashful and I find myself unduly prone to dishonesty and overthinking. Therefore whatever talents I am gifted with, whatever arts I may develop, whatever insane mishmash of ideas I...
The Republican base needs to come to grips with the idea of being a good loser.
You win some elections, you lose some elections. That's how Democratic Republics work. But the most important thing of all is that people keep playing even if they don't win.
After losing Bush vs. Gore, the...
Anyone who is more than slightly familiar with the Republican party knows that there are several 'wings' to the party. No party is monolithic--rather the whole is the sum of its parts. These wings form the base of the party and could roughly be defined by what strengths of Republican policy...
