The Gaming Den

1188524469[/unixtime]]Do you ever get the feeling that FR deities were made up by, say, three geeks with some drinks nearby scrambling for creative campaign material before their game later that day?[br]I've read female complaints about Drow and Lolth especially, and wholeheartedly agree; FR deitie...

1188517625[/unixtime]]In the Wish Economy section, there's mention of a wizard only having one 'masterpiece' magic item per level. What is that talking about? It's the tentative rule of a crafter only being able to craft one item using their best crafting abilities - sort of like "all other it...

Ilmater always struck me as a bit of a joke. He doesn't improve the life of his worshippers- he actively encourages them to make their lives *worse*. And, of course, in a high-powered setting like FR, encouraging your worshippers to be matyrs quickly means you don't have any. Because the literally ...

Seriously, Frank, are you really this... I don't know the word for it... worked up about d20 games, or do your post that way for show? What the fvck? Is it my impression, or, for you, caring about stuff's anathema? Seriously, what's not getting worked up for you? Do you see flowery, cuddly language...

One more - this time with blade magic.[br][br] FIGHTER [br] Hit Die: d10.[br] BAB: High.[br] Fortitude, Reflexes: Good.[br] Will: Poor.[br][br] Maneuvers Known: (level + 7)/2.[br] Maneuvers Readied: 2 at 1, 3 at 2, +1 per 6 levels.[br] Stances Known: 1 each at 1, 6, 11, 16.[br][br] Class Skills (4 +...

What's the problem with the "I write for losers" mindset? I don't really see it that way, I think of it more as "I write for people like myself" and "I understand society sees me as a loser." Well, if you don't think the people in question are losers, sorry for misrepr...

Continuing after the brute and the gish , one more "full BAB base class I'd like to matter".[br][br]Also, I'd like to know what are people's issues (I mean structural, not flavor, as it doesn't matter) with psionics. So far, I've seen "those guys are weak" (says nothing of the sy...

Another ridiculously large multiquote for you guys...[br]Sigma, don't break the thread! :lmao:[br][br][br] Sorry, it's just that I am a devout Christian, yet I'm constantly reminded about how much the Christian community tends to suck. This annoys me. Don't feel bad - all comunities suck because peo...

It doesn't actually matter what you write about. Your writing is a blast to read. Unfortunately, I don't think he can write "stab in the face" in a medicine paper - especially about surgery ...[br][br] never said there was, just said that that was me and that's why I want to write gaming ...

1188326639[/unixtime]] 1188272008[/unixtime]]I like your options, Prak. This is why I've joined forums for years; to view developing opinions, at times even contrasting, for the improvement of written material.[br]A group effort will always be stronger than one working alone. :thumb: [br]thanks, an...

Thanks, Leress. And that was sort of what I expected, but doesn't push anything very far from the "white males" group (white in the U.S., of course).

1188245171[/unixtime]]And a highly profitable one, considering the P/L sheet for Waste Management . Sorry, I'm far from well-versed in economics (and I don't know much about American standards of life either), so this doesn't tell me much about what this means for the average waste management worke...

1188194586[/unixtime]]In fact, if we're going to be wild and crazy...[br][br] 1155147018[/unixtime]]Let's make a wild and crazy assumption about Good: being Good means that you're making the world a nicer place. People live longer, have more fun, are less afraid, enjoy their surroundings, and their...

Who is the majority then?

Source on psi abilities, please (I do know some things about the research, but I'm curious about whether it's public info nowadays).

Have some success, fence-builder.

Yes, but how much do you want to bet Wizards is going to do away with it after fourth? Yeah, I'm not sure whether they said they'd be keeping the 3.5 SRD after the 4E SRD comes out - that last one, however, was confirmed.[br][br] Indeed, once Dead Man's Hand is up and playable, I may not write RPG ...

Who cares about the rights? Do you know there's a SRD, right? And, if you are thinking seriously about starting something:

a) I'd like to hear about that;
b) there are companies looking for freelancers ...

The statement "There were great people here before, they had powers and culture, but they became small and live underground" is a fvcking euphamism for genocide. Every single race I have written up so far is itself a euphamism for genocide. The Wakyambi, the Sidhe, the Efreet, the Alfar -...

No worries. Too few: I'm thinking about doubling it (also, you may see that currently, level 1 spells come at 2, but that's something I'm considering changing back; so, 2 per level from 1). Crappy spells: true, there's no way to deny some are too weak to be taken. What'd you think about identifying ...

Lago: I understand your position, and I did expect bad things to happen when a blanket "African = beastman" equation was given in page 1, but, at the moment ...[br][br]Are Frank's texts not making each race be worthy in its own way? Are them not making slavery be the gutwrenching thing it ...

This class walks in at level one with 46 different spells available. For reference, there are 58 level 0 and level 1 Sor/Wiz spells in the PHB.[br][br]Beguilers, by contrast, get "only" 21 spells available at first level.[br][br]I just don't see what you're trying to accomplish with this ...

That's not actually true--they have to do spell research to get any non-core spells at all.[br][br]Honestly, if you want to get rid of all the stupid and/or broken spells, it seems like it'd be better to just do that, setting the spell list for your campaign to this (with divine casters getting, wh...

So you can actually get to most of it following internal article links, it's just really hard to actually find any particular segment because the archives won't tell you where that shit is. AFAIK, until it's actually deleted, it's easy to find anything with Google - just tested some - as long as me...

Isn't his spell list now just all the good spells from levels 1-5? Why not just give it Trollman-Suliin Sorcerer style casting at that point?[br][br]Honestly, it's not like you'd break the Trollman-Suliin Sorcerer by giving it full BAB, good Fort, and some fighter feats. If by "all the good&qu...
