2) Isn't D&D covered by the gaming forum?
Because that often gets associated only with magic. And since we already have a problem with people not understanding the point of forums, sci fi for sci fi, it should be a very clear name.

Damn. I was really hoping for the Android's Dungeon...

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

I understand the reasons for creating this new forum, but why not call it the Fantasy forum instead?

Mostly because then Comic's discussion would auto shunt to OSF...and pretty much a slew of poor comic topics is what put this here(along with others)

I'm a little bit annoyed to have the blanket idea of all magic vs. threads containing no science, but whatever. It's nice to have a forum just for it.

I would merely have OSF renamed Other Science Fiction and Fantasy.

But, shouldn't this forum be listed at Not Science Fiction part of the board, instead of Science Fiction?
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. If I wish, I can smash it all. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that raze the mounds of humanity. Out of chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.

Err, would it be possible to allow post editing? In case you forget something...

Of course, I could just make another post, furthering my post count :twisted:

Nah...this board still has it fair share of debating(be what it may).

So if someone double post me/Aya/random Supermod will delete it...and just use the silly preview more :P
