The Gaming Den

Some asshole burned microwave popcorn at midnight. At least it wasn't at fucking 3AM like last time. I lived in dorm in my freshman year of college that had the worst fire alarm. You see, the building was 40 years old, but the fire alarm was new and oversensitive. Among the things that could set it...

The iconic Ranger is archery focused and uses a fucking crossbow. He would be better in every way with a longbow. He wears studded leather with a max dex of +5 with 22 dex(Attained through use of a stat belt) instead of just wearing mithral chain. He wears an amulet of natural armor but still prepar...

What about a ghost? Would it just suppress their manifestation?

If you mean see ethereal, then yes.

Mind sticking that image in a spoiler?

Kicktraq trend and projections both look pretty horrific, but Sidekick actually gives that KS campaign a 98% chance of success, and IMX Sidekick has been far more accurate. If you look at Sidekick's graph, it's clear that once one person donated 200+ the algorithm moves the chance of success from ~...

Did shadzar just admit that his personal preferences are personal preferences rather than THE ONE TRUE WAY? That must be a first.

Delving & Dying?

Doom & Destruction?

Dodos & Douchbags?

Awesome artifact weapons, definitely.

(It's a little weird to see a DM attempting to favor everyone else over their significant other.)

And, to tie this back to gaming, High Tea.

Wear a Pointy Wizard Hat that's actually a Shrink Itemed 10ft high hollow metal cone. When you enter the antimagic field, it expands and breaks line of effect. Then teleport.

However, it was massively more accurate. The east/west community/individual divide is a good way of talking about Law/Chaos.

Rule Utilitarianism is Lawful good, Act Utilitarianism is Chaotic Good.

First, I suggest you toss all the 3.0 settings as they won't accomplish your goal of less work. I sort of like Eberron and it sets up a lot of adventure hooks for you, but the books have the worst organization. The Planescape factions all piss me off, but the rest of the great wheel is fine. FR has ...

The Elder Evils do a decent job of seeming like epic threats with their signs. These are effects like: The sun goes out, Every dead body animates, The seas boil and the winds burn, Diseases become all but impossible to resist. Most overwhelming signs would kill 99%+ of life on the planet within a we...

I just noticed that the Leshay is everything people hate about elves.

Why did you have to inflict this on us again?

Before that, oxen were use...

No, silva, despite how you argue, you will always be a tool.

I've seen a hulking hurler kill some pretty impressive things.

For effects with highly limited targets, 1d6 seems more reasonable. It's like Disrupt Undead.

Shad has never been all that fond of Gygax actually. I've seen this sort of thing from him before. Of course, he dislikes Gygax for quite different reasons than most Denners.

It's hard to be both hollow and full of shit, but he seems to manage it.

Full of other people's shit to be precise.

Best shadzar post for grammar, but worst shadzar post for content. There must be a saying about that. It makes me think about quantum uncertainty and how to get more accurate information about position you must have less accurate information regarding velocity. For shadzar, it seems similar in rega...

I'm just going to be smug about our recent colder weather having highs in the 60s.

Similarly, I wanted to play a psion/thrallherd who spent all his time in the form of his primary thrall's cuirass or something via metamorphosis . I thought this was the coolest thing ever, until it was pointed out to me that you can't manifest powers in the form of an object. This made me sad. You...
