The Gaming Den

I'm done. I tried abiding by Zak S's rules, in not assuming anything, not attacking or insulting him "Your rule makes everyone a whore"? even though he began by attacking me, You said that--why woudn't I attack you? I even allowed for a ridiculously easy standard to be met (two neutral pa...

If you say you'll acknowledge it, then I will take the time to find it. Otherwise it's just running a pointless errand. To be clear - are you finding evidence that you "addressed" it (as in, you spoke to the subject), or you "addressed" it (as in, you spoke to the subject and &q...

The truth is, I have *no clue* how my act will give me a return value. Do you know how a totally random gift to a totally random person you did no research on will be received in real life? Are you like "I'm gonna give the guy getting out of that car a free World of Warcraft account! I don't k...

It is worth mentioning that at this point either everyone else is wrong, lieing to spite you, or just want you to be sad or you are wrong. Which sounds more likely? Again: if you want to vote on who is right, then there's a lot of people not on the gaming den who we can ask, many of whom have aread...

Zak S's challenge: The first claim that your rule fails against DM fiat, in the broadest sense of the accusation is: [Your rule] requires a good amount of adjudication even when it works Every post made by Zak S in this thread summed up Nuh-uh! I'm being a little unfair, but this is the first time ...

You, on the other hand, are much worse than him in this case: you made a false accusation--the disgusting accusation that I dodged a question about the mechanic. You're making an aggressive claim, you need to prove it. How exactly am I to prove a negative? Find the first time the question you say I...

My fellow party members have been seen all around the city with me and I instruct them to tell the hobos that they are asking questions on my behalf - do they gain my bonus to Gather Information checks when talking with the hobos? The hobos persuading people they are who they say they are (or aren'...

Or, maybe, just maybe, 3. You didn't actually address it. Did you comb through and check? If I do comb through and cut and paste will you acknowledge that I found it and admit you were wrong or will you dodge? If you say you'll acknowledge it, then I will take the time to find it. Otherwise it's ju...

Current activity (the wall is up) Possible activity (the wall is down in one of many directions) Impossible Without Magic activity (the wall is in mid air) Rewritten this is "activity the DM will allow, activity they won't, and pointless for this discussion". Your system- Johnny does odd ...

There is no possible explanation of you claiming, in a public thread, that I didnt' address a topic that I did other than: 1. You are lying. 2. You are making an insulting claim in public without first combing through the thread to check if it's true. Or, maybe, just maybe, 3. You didn't actually a...

Phonelobster specifically requested that the currency be transferable. The rule given did not include any methods of transferring it. No matter how "social currency" is interpreted in general, the rule given failed to meet the request. If the target NPC believes the herald represents the ...

Also please take note that Zak refuses to explain why his rules isn't just DM fiat with needless numbers time and again. You are a liar or unethical and negligent for making an attack without checking your facts. Because this isn't the first time I said this… I am sick of you insulting me. Try to h...

Justify that bullshit.

Zak, nobody asked for a social combat system. What PL asked for was a social currency system. As a really fucking vague outline, here's how a social currency system could work. PCs do things (win a war, for example) to gain social currency (fear points, for example). The social currency can be exch...

When an anonymous D&D troll with an angry anime girl avatar who calls himself "Lord Mistborn" and who has this as a lifetime goal gets more respect than you do, you should seriously rethink your life choices Fixed I love that your imaginary respect contest takes place entirely inside ...

Really? Breaking someones spirit over the internet has been a lifetime goal of mine for a while, I'm glad I could be a part of this. When an anonymous D&D troll with an angry anime girl avatar who calls himself "Lord Mistborn" and who has this as a lifetime goal doesn't like you--then...

What will you give me if your prediction is wrong?

Lord Mistborn This is the Den, here insults are fine, I'm sure listing everything douchey you ever done is "fine" on the board too--it doesn't mean that you get to expect me to be nice to you after you do it. deaddmwalking f it helps, we've already talked about your 'left-handed scissors' ...

Holy Shit, I think just figured out what the problem is here: Because PL is an idiot and communicated the request incorrectly, he never got this across, and the words "Social Currency System" were too vague to do it-- I think you guys don't just want a Social Currency System--you want som...

The charisma check bonus isn't the currency, shit for brains, the good or service that resulted in that Bonus is the currency. There are social things in it and currency (in the form of bonuses in it). So, what do you mean ? The first or the second ? The first. I don't know where the second is from...

SOME THINGS PEOPLE HAVE ASSERTED WERE REQUIREMENTS AND SO IF HE WANTED THEM HE HID IT: 1. According to Frank this is not a "social currency system" (so I guess Social currency System has some jargon meaning other than a system about social interaction featuring currency you can use to aid...

Suffice it to say, it is most certainly not in bad faith that when you say "I can write any rule perfect just ask me I dare you!" Quote. Me. Saying. That. Hell, as it stood I very charitably soft balled several aspects of the request. The "No Apple Stacking" wasn't just a challe...

How would PL know if my group is experiencing the results he asked for? But the challenge wasn't for your group, but for PL's since he is the one gave the request. Then. He. Should. Have. Included, That. (Crazy). Requirement. In. His. Request. I thought he was done with his request. There was no cl...

He hid them for some reason. There was nothing hidden. It was a trao that was the whole point though, to demonstrate that poorly thought out on the spot rulings are prone to falling inadvertently into traps. There you go: it was a Trao. It was both misspelled and in bad faith. And yet somehow I cam...
