A bit of irony at work here, since these boards are usually very inclusive. But some people gravitate towards others, so here is the place for you to declare allegiance to an imaginative clique on these boards.

I HEREBY DECLARE MY ALLEGIANCE TO "THE TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL!"

Other possible cliques include:

- Grognards
- WoW Players
- Bellasarians
- some wierd combination of all the above...

Some potential real "cliques":

- Canadians
- Service (active or not, could be some sub-sliques here, like NCOs)
- Expatriates
- some wierd combination of all the above...

Please, keep it light-hearted, even if the clique is real!


Grognards forever!

(We live in the Temple of Elemental Evil, by the way. Where else except maybe the Tomb of Horrors?)

There is definitely some crossover. Feel free to declare multiple allegiances.

My full allegiance would be:

Canadian Grognard Teacher DMs of the Temple of Elemental Evil

Sovereign Court Contributor

I am a Canadian ex-expatriate.

Scarab Sages

I guess I'd be part Grognard, part Rules Lawyer, part Character Optimizer.

I think there are secret tunnels connecting them. Nobody's found them yet because the Search DC is 872. Those are some damn secret tunnels!

Do you also claim the Grognard Table & DM's Screen?

You know perfectly well that I side with you in all such debates.

I hereby add Simulationist to my allegiance, but only because it is realistic and suits my character.

I don't know if I've been playing long enough to claim the Grognard appellate...but I'd sure like to. :D

I'm 29. Can I be a grognard now?

Grognard has an arbitrary requirement when it comes to D&D.

Have you been playing since 2nd edition or older? Grognard.

But considering how 4e represents a major change in the game's evolution, within a few years, anyone who played before 4e will likely earn the title of grognard.

I've been playing Frogger since the early 80's, thus, I am a frognard.

I played second ed and hated it, but I will still wear the title of grognard proudly.

But did you play it when it was the latest edition? If so, you're automatic, baby. Otherwise, you'll officially become a grognard in 2 weeks and thirteen hours. Don't know why. Just cuz.

Wow, there are enough Ottawa-residing Canadian grognards to form a separate clique.

We will poorly administrate the general Canadian Paizo clique in two languages and make them resent us for it!

EDIT: Those languages will be Common and Thassilonian.

Good, because otherwise someone would make a comment about "hot women" and that is not a path that we should go down.

But I fit a whole bunch of 'em. Gives me half membership, if I ever get tired of being the Zoe fan clique. Which I never would.

P.S. Orlane, like the skin cream? That's a bit girly...

Back in the day we didn't even have dice. I had to chew off my finger and file the bones down for our first set of dice -- and we were "grateful".

Yep -- Grognard.
