The Gaming Den

Wait, what "issues" did they address? How about social convention in which they're repeatedly treated as the wrong gender? Or how about about issues regarding transgender sexuality? But if you're already royalty, it doesn't fucking matter, because you're in a social group of one anyway. I...

That's kinda offensive. You're dismissing any attempt by the exalted writing team to address LGBT themes or issues that transgendered people face as a marketing gimmick. For some people whatever Exalted actually is or was has long stopped mattering. What's important is hating it, whatever it is. Wh...

1) Nothing about that suggests transgendered. The clothing is pretty gender neutral and beyond big-ass boots and sword, it tells me exactly nothing. That could be a person of either gender dressed as either gender- there simply aren't enough culture cues to say one way or another. They've explicitl...

One of the signature characters is transgendered, which is certainly braver than WotC's position that they don't exist.

Prince Diamond:

I've heard that they've made fighters even more useless and irrelevant than before. edit: The fighter is in good shape. We're likely going to give the fighter a special parry mechanic that doesn't use expertise dice but works much the same way. If anything, the fighter might be a little too good. Th...

Yeah, but backers of the kickstarter do not actually get one. Backers at less than the $110 mark don't get one, and backers outside the United States don't get one either because they won't ship overseas (or even to Canada, unless they are very confused about geography). Yes we do. For a very reaso...

Am I missing something or is the first reward level that actually includes the hardcover book 110 dollars? I'd totally throw 40-50 bucks at it for a nice looking hardcover, but the 40-50 dollar reward levels seem to be a crapload of PDFs that I don't care about. It's a deluxe version. A normal hard...

I'd just let you know that the Exalted 3rd Edition Kickstarter is up.

I'm such a fanboi I subscribed without reading the text.

edit: funded in 18 minutes.

The 4e products were put up on DriveThru RPG and then taken down after the PHB2 came out in a misguided attempt by the 4e staff to keep their jobs by claiming that online piracy had kept sales low. So if they show up on DriveThru again, they will be listed as having first been put up in 2008. -User...

theye1: Everyone knows Moore is batshit crazy. I mean, you just have to read his shit, look at his face, or read about his shit or read about his face. On the overhyped angle: I think any writer who puts down a ton of text is going to have some good and usually more bad. While I agree, people talk ...

Did they include an essay on how batshit crazy Alan Moore is or how he's incredibly overhyped? Despite being admittedly brilliant writer, he's also produced a lot of shit.

I've read that Planescape was an attempt to copy White Wolf's style of gameplay.

I want another game in the Planescape Torment universe.

What I don't get is why WoTC decided too stop Digital Distribution, it's not stopping the spread of piracy and they lose potential costumer like myself (it takes one and a half months for me too get packages because of where I live).

What? Temperance is the rejection of non-needed things No, it's not. Temperance is the rejection of excess, it's more about emotion then actual things. It's about about denying those emotion or urges when it becomes harmful to themselves or others, I spent some time as a counselor, and it's harder ...

The fuck are you talking about? Faith, Hope, and Charity are the three Christian theological virtues. Fortitude, Justice, Temperance, and Prudence are the four Cardinal virtues. It's not every list of seven Christian virtues, but it's sure as fuck one of them. The World of Darkness list is just the...

The seven Virtues and Vices detailed below are ostensibly drawn from Western, Judeo-Christian beliefs (e.g., the Seven Heavenly Virtues and Seven Deadly Sins), but it’s important to note that nearly all cultures value these ethics and revile these sins. pg. 100-101, World of Darkness corebook. If t...

You are literally required to frame your character's moral virtues and failings in terms of Christian concepts. Literally. Christianity is metaphysically and epistemologically true in that game, even if you personally are an Ancient Roman or a Chinese Buddhist. If that's all you got, then you're gr...

The stuff that came out in the 21st century has by and large been without message. If nWoD has any message at all, it is that Christianity is "true" and you literally have no choice but to accept that. I don't think that true, I've read almost all the books, and I have not picked up that ...

Still better then White Wolf, does anybody remember the Gypsy book?

Do you have any proof of this statement at all? Saudi Arabia Qatar My bad, Turkey is merely a safe haven for the FSA. Do you think the NATO is going to create a functioning democracy in Syria? I think the Syrians will create a functioning democracy in Syria. It's the self-determination of the Syria...

Who the fuck are they? What book? Fuck, man. For a guy out of nowhere who claims to spread learning, you sure sound like a reactionary moron. Any book, really. The International Relations of the Persian Gulf by F. Gregory Gause for a start. Duh, there are real divisions in Syria, you can't start sh...

They aren't keen, they were weary of actually supporting the FSA, but they were trapped by their own rhetoric. Nobody initially wanted Assad too fall, Syria's too important Geo-politicly and they were a bee's dick close too signing a peace agreement with Israel, but when the west came out for the A...

Your whole grasp of the Syrian situation is stupid, there I said it. You're a paranoid moron if you believe what you type. I'm not usually so impolite, but I can't stand how proud of your ignorance you are. Gods, stop listening to Alex Jones and and David Ickle, and read a fucking book. OK, so wikil...
