Joooooiiiiin uuuuuuus.
Current games I'm in:
Tomb of Horrors (Pathfinder) -Party (all 9th level except Arbiter): --Duergar Psychic warrior (me) --Human Ranger --Arbiter Rogue --Elan psionic casterbater (not sure of the class; this character also may or may not be a nazi) --Human monk - This has been easy so far, since we have a rogue thats ridiculously good at finding and disarming traps and a tank that can take pretty much anything the dungeon can throw at us; the only hiccup we've had is a run in with a mutant gargoyle that nearly killed the monk. However, we're not very far into the dungeon, and there's plenty of time for us to die horribly.
Carrion Crown (Pathfinder) -Party (all 1st level) --High Goblin Hexcrafter bladebound magus (me) --High Goblin Undead Lord Cleric --High Goblin Bard -- ? Inquisitor --Half-Giant Soulknife This game hasn't started yet, but having 60% of the party be Paizo goblins (which are all crazy and cute in a raving psychopath kind of way) which are all related to each other (which the DM doesn't know about yet) shows lots of promise.
Aladoren (Hero System) This game won't start for a couple months, and is still in planning phases, but it should be fun. Especially since I can make a character without help as a player new to the system. Which is an achievement unto itself.

Thats not representative of the average game of any TTRPG. There aren't enough Monty Python quotes.

I was terribly offended by that stereotypical remark, Omega. Now, I'm going to count to three, and it had better be gone by the time I do. 1, 2, 5.

RPGs <3 love 'em. Got Cross edge, disgaea 3, eternal sonata, fallout3/nv, and oblivion for the ps3. Few other games here and there on my psp, ds respectively, also play some D&D 4.0 with the dice, paper, capes, chains, whips, er... <_< >_> You guys read nothing.

I'm a bigger fan of JRPGs than WRPGs, but only just so. Frankly, I've had more fun out of Fallout than Final Fantasy lately. Hoping that'll change with FF Vs XIII...and that Skyrim then gives it a run for it's money.
@Omega: Earthdawn & Shadowrun. I have experience with D&D (3rd edition, I think), Aberrant (terribly broken game, but can be fun), Paladium, and a little bit of Conan. Of all these I only own the books for Earthdawn and Aberrant.

Thats all?
Currently playing Pathfinder (D&D 3.75+), but I'm also preping for a game of Hero. I've played D&D 4e, D&D 3.5, Deathwatch, and Savage Worlds. Good times.
On the screen, Kingdom Hearts and Golden Sun have been my favorite series from Japan, though Fallout and Oblivion have triumphed over their far east counterparts as of late.

Fallout is a WRPG, Western Role Playing Game. (As in from the Western Hemisphere, not as in with cowboys. ) MK is a fighting game.

Ah, Shadowrun. Tough to say whether or not I like this or Earthdawn more.

So how dnagerous is it to fumble a grenade in Shadowrun?

Depends on the grenade, the stats of the fumbler, and the location. Some grenades are actually programmed not to detonate unless they've gone a certain distance.
Assuming the fumbled grenade isn't one of those... If a Troll drops a grenade at his feet in an open field, he'll probably live. Be pretty injured, but live. If an elf drops one at his feet in a small room, he's probably toast. Depending on his armor.
Why?

'Cause I've heard that fumbled grenades in Shadowrun end campaigns.

Probably depends a lot of which set of rules you're using. Vanilla was a lot more unforgiving.

In the game that starts tommorrow, I plan on playing a goblin magus. Unfortunatley, the village that we start in may or may not kill my character on sight. So, community, I impart upon thee the task of making me a first level, 25 point buy pathfinder character!!!

Hmm I made a character sheet in Microsoft excel a few months ago and thats all ive been using lately. I just bring my laptop and I can make the neccesary changes on the screen, without having to constantly erase your health/healing surges etc. Im not sure how to put that kind of file up on here so if anyone wants to take a look, lemme know and I can email it to you or something.

I shall get on this tonight when I return.
Question though. What are the racial stat modifiers for a goblin? They're not on the chart.
