The Gaming Den

Plenty of players ignore that the only reason why Record of the Lodoss War was any good was because that campaign was only 10 percent game and 90 percent narrative experiment, and because everyone at the table were writers themselves. All that means is that you have in-house staff whose primary job...

Then don't look at my Pixiv favorites... The bee people one for Pixiv fantasia, right? Can you send me a link? I saved it long ago on a now defunct computer. No, i was talking about monster rape, 'cause a large number of people don't seem to like them. Well, i can't blame them, took to me a good ti...

Even though I'm guilty of this hypocrisy as anyone else, can we take the cultural stuff to another thread? I want to discuss Japanese TTRPGs. Sorry, I had already opened up the reply box and started ranting by the time you posted! In any case, one of the really interesting things (to me) about RPGs...

So let's discuss! I've found this: https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities ... 0724285675

Did you really think japanese men are sadistic rapers who follow and kidnap schoolgirls just for fun? Crazy... I never said that thankyouverymuch. Just a joke to break the ice. Also, at least up until 15 years ago, prostitution was as common among teenage girls wanting expensive clothes as summer j...

Did you really think japanese men are sadistic rapers who follow and kidnap schoolgirls just for fun? Crazy... Well, American men are sadistic rapers who slut-shame and shove probes up schoolgirls just for fun in the name of Jesus, so, I don't exactly see what makes them so special. http://www.unof...

My (native) Japanese teacher had some really crapsack stories about her homeland back when I took those classes.

Double Cross, i want to know what is in there (even if i already know).

I believe the image I spoilered in my previous post was made before Madoka, because that was another perfect series to show on the "adult" side. That didn't caused the same impact than a /spoiler/ magical girl getting killed horribly, right in front of your eyes /spoiler/ . seeing how i a...

I think that when people here get confused about Japan open mindedness, it's mostly because the whole "kawaii" phenomenon (translation note: kawaii means cute) . While in the western world there seems to be an implicit agreement that horrible things don't happen to cute critters (thus all...

2) Porn is just as available because porn is free for everyone with an internet connection who isn't in some shitty country with a countrywide firewall. But porn produced in Japan literally cannot show genitals. That is why tentacle porn exists/is so popular, because they are technically not dicks,...

Maid. Its fixation with tables is what mostly springs to my mind but I can't be bothered into reading it again to give you the full details, sorry. I'd also mention Tenra Bansho Zero or Bird Studio's DB-Z' one (the only system actually worse than Palladiun), but those two are already old, so accusi...

Examples?

I have a hard time believing that a Japanese TTRPG can even begin to approach the fucked-upedness of, say, certain Exalted sourcebooks. Let alone the Shit King All-Stars of the hobby like FATAL or Racial Holy War. Warning: Grossness in the spoiler. Just glance, don't read it too hard. http://www.so...

Most of them can be ignored until they come up though. Honestly dropping Pathfinder monsters into 3.5 is easier than actually learning to play Pathfinder because you only worry about the differences as they come up. Why PF is so full of mazes and unnecessary things to "make your character uniq...

Well, Maid can get sexual, but it have its comic relief part too. When playing D&D, you can stop to talk and chat with NPCs, too. A bunch of teenagers playing anything, being RPG or videogames, looks very wierd to the Society.

They're built to very different guidelines. Your cyclops is the same CR and type as a fire giant, but superior in almost every respect. I pulled a couple completely random examples and got weird results, but lets look at your example, eh? The mighty cyclops is a regular monster (cyclops) with a tem...

Because we all know that Tormenta is SHIT.

You know, there are several places on the net right now where you can sign up for a game of D&D 3.5. I'm not even sure it is less common than Pathfinder. Really it doesn't matter how hard he tries, Mearls can't kill D&D, because there's no expiration on it. No one is obligated to play 5e. H...

Well, off to other "new" and focused systems.

AAaaaand, Fantasy Kaleidoscope 2-1!

Well, finally i can say we choose some games. Me: i'll wait for OVA Revised, it's only 7 days away, hope that scenario gets funded, too. Player1: Savage Worlds. He liked the "feel of adventure of 80's", or something like that. Player2: He said that would paly M&M, but didn't even read ...

You can use Sneak Attack with half of your pool, that's right?
