The Gaming Den

I'm going to disagree really hard with your prognosis in a couple places. I'm not sure he requires excessive admiration. You could make an argument that people who do the blogging thing are in it for exactly that, but it's become something of a ubiquitous thing, so it's really not that abnormal. I'l...

Some people are just fucking insane.

It's level 10. But like how does there being no resource even work in a game where fucking wall of iron and shit exists?

That sounds as good a way as any, but don't forget becoming sickened, and dazed the day after.

That helps me very little.

I was invited to join a Dark Sun game run with 3.tome rules. I do not have any background with Dark Sun. I know it's basically Conan meets that one episode of Doctor Who where they go to the end of time. But that's more or less it. So, what do I need to know, what stuff will cause the setting to col...

... nope. You're trolling, that is the only explanation fro what you just said.

Have you been fucking listening at all? The underdark in this system eats everything. When it's done there won't be surface, there won't be anything because it's all been eaten. So no, your argument that it's doing some kind of service by making more livable space is bullshit because that is not wha...

Except that you're wrong because the underdark in this set up is specifically eating everything, all things and exists only for that purpose. Bears it fish to survive, the sun's running out of fuel is simply a side effect of it having fuel. The underdark consumes everything that is because that is t...

But it's the only story you can tell with the underdark under this paradigm. Not explaining what the underdark is and how it works is actually far better from a story telling standpoint because that doesn't lock out any possible stories that can be told while your explanation does, in fact, lock out...

I can't get behind the underdark as a malevolent entity that is eating the world. Because if that's the case then the underdark is evil, it has to be evil it can't be anything else because any being that exists only to consume and destroy can only be classified as evil. Basically you can't include G...

Now there are people who truly lack the ability to feel for other people and often will hurt others because they enjoy it. But those people are ill. They're sick and and we put them in hospitals instead of prisons because they need treatment. A political metaphor that the ignorant and the easily-ma...

Okay, first of all, that article literally spends its first sentence attributing the term vandalism to the Romans, next to a picture of graffiti completely oblivious to the fact that graffiti was an accepted political tool in Rome. Secondly please point me to the line in that clearly well thought ou...

I have always been under the impression that original sin, in christian religions worked like this. Sex is a sin, humans are created through sex ergo humans are born of sin and therefore inherently sinful. I believe the understanding is that before Adam and Eve's sin humans didn't need to have sex t...

That, but it's also important to remember that without American support Brittan would have been able to do somewhere between jack and shit about Germany. Brittan was pretty much on the ropes by the time Germany attacked Russia they were having trouble replenishing their military resources so America...

Welp, Since I’m human we’re doing humans next, don’t worry I do my best to do somewhat unexpected things with all these races and I like to think I do a pretty good job so humans aren’t the “baseline” average race. The sound track for this entry is the Radiata Stories OST espeically Hopping Sun. Bec...

The world is formed of the body of the titan gae, everyone knows that.

Shatner: I try to stay away from the Rule of Cool because I find it very player disempowering. If you don't know how things work or why then you're always utterly at the mercy of the GM to tell you what's allowed and what isn't. A well thought out internally consistent world is much more interestin...

No, you can't have a Barbarian class because Berzerker is a much better fit for the conceptual space. Bonus points for Berzerkers being an actual, super bad ass, thing. Seriously, depending on the source they either dressed up in animal skins or painted themselves black and ran into battle naked as ...

Such magical quick fixes are not readily available on Sarindor, but while dwarves can't change the hardness of rock what they can do is compress lose material into stone of varying hardness which they use in their freight elevators, either making more of them or making the existing ones bigger.

Oh, so rocks and stuff, they use it to make the freight systems they use to transport heavy loads upwards. To get to the freight systems they use carts and goats.

- What is the average size of a dwarf city? What is the average age? Do they form immense clustered kingdoms or chains of scattered settlements? When the mines are exhausted, do they move on or remain there? That's kind of a sticky question, the dwarves of Sarindor basically inhabit only the mounta...

Stay classy shitmuffin.

What? Pics or it didn't happen.
