The Gaming Den

Oi! Don't disrespect Kojima's school of dialogue! "Metal Gear?!", "The Patriots?!" and so on are classic lines of classicism! Except its just inane questions that are so obvious, they have no place in a game that's allegedly targeted for a 17+ audience. It really showed an examp...

-The Dark Eye, not a peep about this from the publisher Ulisses since august and although the finished product is a clear improvement* on the Beta, it still is a very standard fantasy rpg. Worse it is still DSA and it is very bloated. The basic book is a massive 414 pages and covers less territory ...

Er, what? (Kaelik more or less summed up my feelings on New Vegas already, so I won't go there.) It seems completely reasonable to compare Fallout 4 to Fallout 3 and Skyrim instead of New Vegas. Skyrim is the most recently released Bethesda RPG and Fallout 3 was their most recent Fallout game. New ...

Uggg. Apparently the Fallout 4 release is going to be one of those dumb staggered ones where it unlocks at 12:00AM in your region, so 19 hours earlier for New Zealand than for the US, for some reason. Why can't people figure out that this shit is stupid? Ok? Why does that matter, it's only a few da...

Now I know I will be making a characters 3/8/3/3/3/7/1, I basically had a character planned looking at the proposed perks, seeing the full perk tree it will mostly stay the same. My SPECIAL is going to be 8,1,4,5,3,5,2 respectively. I might lower Luck for more Endurance now we know Swimming will be...

I feel like the Den should get together and redo the Demon Lords so they are credible threats. As been already stated, there has been one by ThunderGodCid kinda, I also made a thread about it a few years ago. I personally quite like the Demons, from what I could tell, they made the demons credible ...

At least one that I am watching is a random black person who constantly calls every character a bitch and plays the game really badly while running in straight lines towards a new objective. In summation, I doubt it. Pete Hines seems genuinely upset by the leaks... for some reason. Oh god that guy,...

Some leaked Fallout 4 information got out, so immediately a bunch of people started criticizing everyone who watches the videos as ruining the game because apparently the game would somehow be better if I didn't know what the higher level perks did. Yeah Bethesda, sure, my ignorance of basic game m...

he major comics publishers have apparently decided to stop focusing on entertaining and instead focusing on propagandizing. Go actually read comics books, and not Tumblir? New 52 has provided entertaining stories, Like Forever Evil, hell they're kinda like a party of D&D PC's (Even Frank indica...

I'm glad this wasn't a thread of being told why we should give up on the RPG industry or such. So if there's hope, I'd say Paradox has shown some promise with buying White Wolf, and Fantasy Flight with Rokugan. One of the major things that needs to get revamped is the pay per wordcount thing. RPG's ...

Shadowrun4 hilarity aside, I've some essence-based queries. 1.) Via like Frank's Houserules, would it hurt much if allowed PC's to increase their essence via 10BP, possible max 12? It wouldn't matter for Magicians as I understand, cyber-awakened mix would suffer the same, Adepts could hyper focus a ...

I'd honestly suggest Shadow of the Demon Lord , that Dark Fantasy RPG made by Robert J Schwalb. Right now not really physical copies that are going to be available yet, so if that's a dealbreaker I can understand that. Merits to that is it can be kinda done with miniatures like D&D, the classes ...

I've just realized given this news, could this revive the IP? Causing White Wolf to regain relevance again like it did back in the ages of AD&D or such where it was KING? That is, is it even likely Paradox will cause this brand to become more successful than D&D's current repute? (considerin...

Didn't the game just come out today? So it has all the levels right?

I checked out the demo to that game. The game is definitely very beautiful, the controls seem to be mostly tight (R1 to do a special may seem off, or its just the tense moment of enemies having a turn during the boss fight). The boss fight was definitely a bit difficult, were it not for hints (like ...

I've been looking at the accelerated version to run a zombie apocalypse game. I wanted something light enough to not get in the way and focus more on personality conflicts with the living. FAE seems to work pretty well for that. I'm interested in hearing how that game ends up fairing. On "End ...

I feel...summoned..I literally checked out Battletech, then checked out this thread. Before that, I had already backed the African fantasy game "Aurion" posted above by Leress . If nobody else supported Aurion, I can give some thoughts about it when the time comes. So thanks, I'll be suppo...

Your Party sounds pretty awful, maybe you guys "do" need double WBL so there's not so much casualties for basic encounters. Though I'm likely too heavily underestimating the suckiness of low levels, since now you guys have hit the point where you're "actual" adventurers at least ...

Unfortunately economics design is something that goes above my head in critiquing, can only probably see if its execution reads clearly for the game in question. There are solid examples of games that successfully discourage focus fire dating back to the late 1970s. It's a game design problem that w...

First, I want to apologize to everyone here expecting an update, getting misinformed through me. Secondly, what happened next, I really do hope the game continued. This thing is prime raging material, and I despise how terrabad this adventure seems to be so far. Albeit the traditional pirate lore se...

Even the barebones version of Kobold Fortress won't be ready for a while. But are prospective players of Kobold Fortress interested in the conquer/clear out the dungeon in PC mode/transition to Dungeonbuilder mode with a half-formed ruleset that they discover as they go through the paces? Sorta rem...

I'm in if they can get the "Expanded Mercenary Campaign", stuff like 3D portraits or Voice acting don't feel that important to me. So I have it on 48hr notice if nothing else. Otherwise Stahlseele , I'd totally tell you to support it, apparently you LOVE this sort of thing, so may as well ...

so at low levels you want to send kobolds out with flyers to surrounding towns advertising the new dungeon to attract low-level adventurers, but a couple years down the road you're really affecting trade in the region and the locally-elected Doge of the Republic starts putting together a mercenary ...

that SR4 is the better rule-set according to the den It's less "in accordance with the Den" and more, "after having taken a deeper look at this game, able to conclude it is an inferior product to what came before". This is something any other forum that's not eating paste could'...

because anybody who goes to any social gathering and stares at their fucking phone instead of socializing just shouldn't be there to begin with. A-fraggin-men to that, when ye said "passive" figured you meant shy-folk, but I've great disdain for that kind of technology at the time. If you...
