Madara is an awful villain for two reasons, one that's not the fault of his characterization, one that is. The first problem is that his gimmick is overexposed to the point of causing the manga to derail. The Uchiha clan has already had a stranglehold on the plot; making Madara the villain complete...

Birds that could be useful to stat include Doves/Pigeons, Crows, Ravens (if stat different from Crows), Peregrine Falcon, Turkey-necked Vultures, an Owl, and a Macaw parrot. Oh, and stats for a swarm of pigeons. Those are all the birds I can think of that someone would be likely to see that might be...

I think an important point on the decision tree here is that 4e powers... don't interact meaningfully with other powers in your decision tree. because there aren't enough powers or resources to interact with or outshine or anything. In this respect, 4e is immensely inferior to WoW. Yes, there are &q...

Yes, 4e design basically uses All Stat Replacement, All The Time. Which is kind of something I abhor. I don't really mind that you can kill a fool with any of the stats on your character sheet, including underwater basketweaving ranks, however, to me, having Mind Control be under Int, Wis, or Cha, a...

Claws of the Beast are good for agg only if you can't smuggle a shotgun with dragonsbreath rounds in somewhere. If you do need to smuggle agg damage everywhere you walk, then you will like Claws of the Beast. However, as Frank pointed out, tonguelashing someone to death is equally good and also requ...

Stat replacement... ruins the game?
I've been mulling over a game-rule-thing recently, yeah, I know, we all have our personal game design. Well, one of the questions that came up in my mind was "Should I allow some kind of stat replacement?" For reference, the intended system has strictly delineated stats that do not overlap...

My point wasn't that those concerns weren't, well, concerning, but I am far more disturbed, frankly, that Japanese has a culture wherein the language uses what are often identical words for Master and husband, than by there being virtual prostitution, or a setting where cute girls are used to sell t...

I came here more-or-less after hunting down the origin of the Tome of Necromancy. Liked the random game projects so I decided to hang around and now-and-then contribute since. I haven't had much to say recently though since a lot of the subjects cropping up have been rehashed or my creative focus is...
