If it was me? I'd sit him down and say, "Dude, what you did was cold. We've been friends for a long time and you flat out denied me because you wanted to save face. I didn't deserve that, and I still don't. So now, I want you to tell me why I should believe that it won't happen again?"

yup. i'll second that speach

am i the only person in shock and awe with how much Dnd stuff is out there. O_O

you could spend another decade just updating all that stuff back up to 3 1/2

you could pawn off old campagns/dungeons again and noone would notice.

or somone would *squint* then there'd be trouble!

well. i <i>am</i> cool. ^______^
and i love dnd. *ahh that feels so good to say that*

I had to tell my girlfreind that I played Dnd when she came round to my place for the second time.
she lol'd but got over it pretty quick. as far as i know, all the girls in highschool are crappy. all the things that make a girl interesting happen in maybe the second last year, usually not. more often after HS.
yeah sure they have all the curves and other lovely things (which are fun to ... 'play with') but the things that truly delight you about a woman girl come later. tell him that unless he can handle him having a geek freinds then he really shouldn't be hanging out with you.
i did some idiotic things for girls in high school.
i gave up a girl for a really good freind, (he really liked her) and in turn when the situation came round again i f#$~ed that really good freind over for another girl.
the clincher is that she ended up cheating on me with him.
and then later told a few people that he raped her.
him and i both came from the romatic school of IF YOU EVER HURT A GIRL YOU'LL GET STRUCK BY TEN TONS OF TERRIFIC LIGHTING. he can't even hit his dog.
so, really..
him and i were expatriots living in hongkong (newzealand and australian/american respectivly) and right after the whole escapde we both went off to finish our high school in Zealand and Aus. and we didnt speak for .. prolly 2 three years.
last year he moves to my city and we got to talking again.
we forgave eachother wordlessly.

let the guy back in.
but for goodness sake give him another fantasy/scifi novel other than drizzt.
and drizzt stopped being emo at the end didn't he? eh whatever.
try "book of the new sun" trilogy. similar dark hero theme, but a more interesting slant.
wow,,.. i havent read any good fantasy for a while now.

a freind of mine is an aspiring author so most of my reading energy is splitt between art journols, DND mags and his constant stream of novelas. O_O
neuromancer is good. ther may be a few ideas in there. bit dated now (lol 4 megs of stolen RAM)

anyways... uh.. yeah
let him back in.
ramble.

if you can hunt down the dark dun editions of dungeon and dragon, they have 'upped'stats for all the stardard player races. i really liked that, i think it poped then to +2. i can't remember. but i do remember liking elfs.

in terms of whether 'elves would rule'? hmmm,..

well, i'm sure they would do fine.

but if the elves are lets say, near imortal, high magic-y kinda of poeple. (and low birthrate)
you may think that they have a pretty good handle on somthing akin to enlightenment. they cirtainly are suposed to be aloof et al. in such a case, WORLD DOMINATION may not be top on their list. things more like, conservation of nature, and balance of existance, self suficiency over expantionist behaviour.
your thinking of how you'd be an elf, like a human.

I've been creating a world inspired by the "shadow/darkness editions of D&D mag" I had elves as a race obsessed with the idea of efficiency. of everything. the world was cosmicaly post apocaliptic (big magic went boom, demons and angels throwing chunks of plains, hundreds of world sundered sort of thing) and the elves wanted to live with as few numbers as would be most efficient and long lasting.
magic that suported the idea(they didnt make wands and wastefull charge items.
language that suported the idea (there were lots of elves taking the vow of silence)
reproductive behaviours that suported the idea, (eugenics program breeding the elves to longer and longer lifespans with lower and lower birthrates.)
fighting styles that supported the idea (bows and arrows? nope. fighters, monks, rouges, etc that plan attacks down to the round, strike first and hard. force their foes to make mistakes rather than expending the extra effort to defeat a sound defence and if caught for longer than expected, retreat.)

i guess this post is really a combo of why i don't think elves should (or even in their current form: could) be the most powerfull race. AND what i am and would change about elves.

halflings. they kinda bore me.
but not as much as gnomes do, so there is still hope.

i'd want there to be a Real reason to play anything but a halfling rouge or bard (at best)

okay so wizard right? maybe,, but.. when you think wizard, you see some powerfull somthing somthing. i guess maybe a sage halfling., but that's more npc. at best loremaster.

i know that all the races don't necicarily fit all classes and arn't really suposed to (half orc wiz? plz! fail.)
i'd say up the advantages of their small size~ a fighter halfling should be getting all up in your face.. a little guy can be kinda frightening, maybe make the barbarian halfling better... between 20ft speed and little tiny weapons halfings make me cry. i so want to, <i>WANT</i> to play this race.
