The Gaming Den

Yeah, that's not RPGsite, that's you. Hie thee to a repair shop.

I think people mostly baw'd about Idris Elba being cast Heimdall because Heimdall is literally supposed to be white like ocean foam (as opposed to white like a caucasoid). Given the other liberties Marvel's taken with the gods over the years, and then the further liberties the movie took with the c...

I use UniChars.

Not a single one of them. 2013 was one of the worst years I've ever had gaming and every game I attempted to run last year died an ignoble sputtering death.

So, you would also oppose any story with black protagonists that shows racism? That's pretty messed up. If it's a traditional black story about black people, and you modified it to insert a white character who was then subject to black racism? You betcha. That's what you're missing here. It isn't t...

So people will choose a race like "Lamia" before picking their class, because that is a race that defines you as a caster warrior tauroid seductress. That's pretty damn specific. But they won't choose a race like Drow or Orc or Kobold before their class, because those races could be taken...

But, as ridiculous as it is, oftentimes a man's acceptance of paternity is going to be conditional on the results of a paternity test-- or...

At its most basic, you need to have fewer numerical bonuses/penalties with smaller total values.

This is going pretty far back, but I wish Spelljammer: Pirates of Realmspace had been a real D&D game, like the Gold Box games before it or the Dark Sun games after it. I wish you had the ability to generate an entire party. I wish the combat system didn't combine up to 5 characters into a singl...

I like the Advantage system, but it works better with smaller bonuses, and like Frank says... can't replace all of the niggling little bonuses D&D tends to throw out.

It's a good step toward making D&D mathematically simpler, though.

I know we aren't really in disagreement but it should be noted that every member of the "Men should have reproductive rights" crowd including myself has stated that those legal changes do not take priority over the currently more important fight of putting women in greater control over th...
