Dungeons and Dragons... funny...

try this:

http://www.tadma.net/psychic/

It's a very basic recreation of what my group does, and I'm thinking about publishing some of my internal articles on the subjects to give them a headstart on things...

It's a very misunderstood subject. It's kind of like the force but then kind of like magic. I could explain it but I prefer not to go into my personal beliefs. I merely threw out the theory because I don't believe it due to the fact that I haven't even had a moment to think about it.

And once again, for the record: I don't believe in the force.
I do believe in magic.

Interesting site, Gargoyle. Food for roleplay I believe. I do not see someone engulfed in an electric field anywhere on this planet, at least, not a self-created one...

Darkstorm: That site is most useful. Must useful indeed... *smiles*

Yes and no. It would use the same part of the brain. Psychics and Users of magic will both be familiar with many of the basic fundamentals of psionics. Psionics, essentially, weaves physics/magic/psychic-abilities into one subject, and attempts to explain it all in relation to each other. I've had very little failure with expiriments and theories are endless... It's the holy grail of the supernatural in my little world. But keep in mind, I have a very little world so many people might not like it.

I understand magick and quite enjoy it, I've read about psychic ability, but have never really heard anything serious about psionics...this is rather interesting and I enjoy discussion much more than reading

How can you NOT believe in the force?! *gapes in horror, then clears throat*

Ah plants. I'm no plant expert, but I would like to say that plants themselves are hard to decipher simply because we have no "empathy" or "understanding" of them. They are entities of which our whole existence depends on, and yet lead an existence so different and so complex that it could definitely be beyond our imagination and comprehension.

Do the plants depend on us? Hell fucking no. They can create energy through respiration and photosynthesis, which means they're dependent on nothing except the sun, the ground, rain, etc. As for people, we just respirate. To respirate, we need the plants that give us oxygen. How is it, if the plants could feel, would they appreciate being used and exploited, when they could so easily be rid of us, and so easily not need us?

Another stupid, psychotic thought: Is it possible to splice a plant and human gene, somehow mixing the two to create a human being that can produce energy through both ways, thus not being dependent on plants so we no longer feel guilty of what hell we lose upon the environment?

*shrugs*

Plant Man could be the most powerful mutant in the world... oh wait, Poison Ivy from Batman, right? I think she misrepresents the vegetation generations...


Dufresne: "I'm a pacifist."
Caboose: "You're a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "No dude, that's a pedophile."

*finally I can reply to you rather than be awed

plants are nature, and as i previously posted I believe all nature has a spirit, if you are able to tune into nature, then you can tune into it's "spirit" and that includes plants to bring their positive influence into your life...and I like poison ivy, she is one of my favorite heroines and then there is swamp thing, he's a good plant man too

Poison Ivy puts plants over any other life form that cant do anything to aid her and is a villian not a heroine.Animal man or Swap Thing are better eco-comics.Profanity: Superman breaths and uses photosynthesis too.

Spirit or no spirit they taste crappy.....Anyone wonder if universaly the higher the average (former) intelligence of the food will play a factor in its taste?


Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so.

Not really as I was basing it on species.

It's a matter of how you view her...to plants she is a heroine, and to others, an idol :p

And finally, if I could chemically produce (efficiently) all of the nutrients my body must possess to live sufficiently healthily, I would. I would be responsible for no death, animals or plants.
That was not the basis of my argument you fruit...... I was suggesting that perhaps if it was not meant to be eaten than it would have created a defense against us..... mere hypothesis.... to live we must kill..... get used to it....

some plants do have defenses. like thorns.. and stuff.. but
like grains like wheat or veggies like cabbages would naturally fall off and be wasted.. so people actually help them my growing them...
