The Gaming Den

AD&D 2nd edition, phb and dmg only.

How come noone talks about the flip side of the issue. What if you DO want the child, and the mother doesn't. Or what if you want to be involved in the child's life. And the mother refuses to let that happen. Or gives the child away for adoption without letting you know she was even pregnant. And I'...

You do realize that the first bomb was dropped because the Allied High Command (mostly the US) did the math right? The battle of Okinawa was incredibly bloody. Forced Mass Suicides of civilians by the Japanese Military. Of some 100,000 Japanese soldiers, only about 7000 surrendered. The Battle of Sa...

That someone is frightened by something (s)he shouldn't be is wrong. This applies both the cashier frightened by black guys and the girls frightened by a friendly male. But even if it's wrong, it doesn't make it right to not react to that fear. No matter if the person's fear is justified, what's ri...

Dragon Child, I don't normally say this: but if I met you in real life I would punch you in the dick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NsZMbs5PC64 Lol. Are you 14, Frank? If you can't argue without making physical threats then you don't have a point. Pathetic. EDIT: But yeah. You, Matticus, and Kaeli...

That's not exactly creep material.

So, you're saying that all men should always consider, "is she going to think I'm a rapist if I say hello to her." That's bullshit in everyway. Also, it's possible he didn't attend ANY of her talks. There are always multiple tracks going at the same time. We don't even know if he was in th...

Because, every girl loves it when a guy shouts across a crowded room, "Hey want to go back to my room and look at my stamp collection?"

That's just so much better.

EricZhan,
your first example is pants on head retarded.
your second example is missing step 2.5 where you holster your weapon.
Which changes to step 3 of, My initiative+firearm suffers no penalty.

At one point we were down to just Noah, his wife, and his sons.

All men are rapists in waiting is in fact, incredibly sexist thing to say. That's exactly like saying all women are just gagging for it, but need a little encouragement. What if you host a party once a month, but your neighbor hosts one every other day. He never cleans up after himself, plays loud m...

Well, They actually found an Eve fossil that shares mydocondrial DNA with pretty much every woman on earth. They can group mydocondrial DNA back to something like 7 different disparate women. That seems like a pretty big bottle neck. If we actually had a way of tracing male DNA backwards as effectiv...

I think it's perfectly acceptable to be personally against abortion for yourself, and yet still be completely pro choice and think that having it be legal is important. It's an agonizing decision I will never have to make. I dodged it for my life time. But I would never judge someone who did make th...

Technically it's something more like "Western Privelege" as I'm pretty sure most of western civilization has bread and peanut butter. Honestly, the whole privilege thing gets pretty fucking stupid. I have white and male privilege, but I'm also transgender, so do I not have male privilege ...

As usual, everything that Shad complains about 3.X about, is the parts of 3.X that were actually cool, and made the game fun to play. The skill system defnitely had out of range issues and some of the classes got borked for skills for no good reason. But that being said, it was so much better than N...

Okay, Choose your own adventure.
I thought that was Cover your own ass. ANd I was trying to figure what kind of python hack would do that.

No, it's the case that Euros can be spent in any country. If you have euros you got from a German bank, and oyu take them to Italy. They're still euros and you can spend them no questions asked. It's a lot more like the american quarters, that have a state emblem for every state on the 'head' side. ...

And for the most part Koumei makes stuff for herself, which she then posts for other people to use, or not.. what ever it's chill. Frank can't help himself. He's like the Barney of Roleplaying. If you make a comment about needing X system to do Y, he just says, "Challenge Accepted" and wil...

The Technocratic Elite of Europe care for what they've always cared about since the days of So Crates.

"Whores and Cognac*"

Cognac, Schnapps, Grapa, Vodka, Sherry, Brandy, Armagnac.

This totally doesn't work for Mirrored Sunglasses play where you're plotting out what to bring, and what not to bring. Lets say you want some ex-ex rounds, and some stun rounds, and then regular rounds for when you fucked up and there's nothing left but to pour ammo at the other guys and get out. Th...

When AH dumped all of his Shadowrun work onto the public domain (after he left) one of the great boons was the PACKS stuff he had in there. It was still a bit fiddly and occasionally hard to read. But it made building goons, and tricking out your character in equipment you wanted to have but didn't ...

Yeah, and those people are grognard assholes who need to shut the fuck up.
People who bring real world physics into a high fantasy rpg need to be told repeatedly to sit down and shut up. It's a Fantasy paradigm, it's all magic. It's not SPELLS. But it's all magic.

Pointing at Anime Kung Fu characters who do incredible things and saying, "they're not using magic" is just.. being stubborn and dumb.

In chinese culture, Chi sorcerors shoot fireballs with their Chi :). Yes, it's not Moshu, but you're drawing a strange fucked up line in the sand. And Jesus did not ressurect himself. God ressurected him, using Divine Intervention. So that's just a dumb ass argument. (If Jesus was real, which he aint)

Are we really going to do this AGAIN? Well let's get this out of the way. Yes mundane fighters suck. But this guy can jump like the goddamned hulk and his super power is "knows muay thai" in high fantasy martial arts should=super powers. End of story. There is no reason not to. You do rea...
