The Gaming Den

I wish to play an action hero-type guy without using magic (so no full mage or adept stuff), but IIRC, magic breaks the game totally in SR4, as it does everywhere else. Is there ANYTHING a mundane can do better than a magical type, or is my only accomplishment going to be a moral victory of sorts? ...

Grinder and who ever really have nothing to do with alt.war(on dumpshock). It was pretty much all Hermit. They are the ones who set it up so that banned people couldn't read the alt.war deliberations on dumpshock. They also banned me. Do the fucking math. Just register under a new name. :roll:

Yeah. Whatever.

Given that Earthdawn is the past and everyone there is awakened to some extent, Not correct - only adepts are magically awaken. Adepts make up ~10% of any population. Not correct either. On top of the full Adepts that adventure, there are also half-adepts who do things like magically farm instead o...

I totally agree that India should have received a different write-up in SoA.

The only previous mentions are about how VITAS wiped out large parts of the population and how common ghouls where in the rural parts (both from the SR2 BBB). Seriously, this. India is a federalist state with widely different sub-units right now . The fact that it hasn't balkanised already is a min...

Yes, there is some stupid shit: like how Peter Taylor wrote up India as the undisputed #1 power on the planet - a unified, weather manipulating magocracy with 10 million mages in it - that miraculously hadn't been mentioned in any previous books despite wielding literally more military might than a...

This.

Yeah. You are a 12 year old who've never heard of any other way to get hold of a new PDF. Right. :headscratch: :wtf: Thank you for a random meaningless insult about my age, that frankly, makes no goddam sense, since I have been posting on this forum for 4 years, but I'm pretty sure that the guy who...

More than anything else, on multiple forums, I've been encouraging people to go read Attitude , or the free preview, for themselves and make up their own mind. HOLY SHIT what a vocal defense of mine, with that zany "I dunno, I like it, but you should go check it out for it yourself" vocal...

Yep. Co-mingling of money, toting the party line, sacrificing children. That kind of shit can only be done my evil villains and their evil assistants.

Arsenal covered the Trid/ SimSense production shit, right?

I love it!
The background offers countless ideas for adventures and campaigns; the classes (disciplines) are well-thought and neatly tight into the background/ setting; one gets used to the step system erly on.

Attitude PDF is up for sale:

4e makes using and making monsters easier, actually, and the entire system amounts to "hey follow these rules and you can have confidence that it will be balanced against your party" and just because you dislike a system doesn't mean it doesn't make sense. I dislike 3e but you don't see m...

or 3) hand out free skill points for flavor skills.

Link? All I've found is the screen's outside.

If you could decide how SR5 would like look: would you keep Technomancers in the setting?

Only the dumb and stupid take a writing assignment for Shadowrun Missions: Anyway, yeah. Missions pays a flat rate of $50 for writers, regardless of actual word count (So, if anyone's looking to write adventures and willing to work cheap, talk to me! :)). Beyond writing, there's also whatever Layout...

Also, in the preview, the Jackpoint login screen mentions something called 99 Bottles (tagline:"Stories from the decadent cites of Asia don’t always involve drunk tourists and sex parlors in dark alleys."). Anyone knows what that is? Sounds like a short story collection? Or a collection o...

What? Explain the underlying offensive concept of oWoD: Mage, please.
