The Gaming Den

IRC transcript: A bunch of stuff about feminism and liberal arts majors. <MisterCavern> So you were each sort of following your own leads previously * Heinrich_Baade puts on his RP hat. <MisterCavern> would you like to start doing separate things (which will quickly become connected?) <MisterCavern>...

Similarly if you are a blood nation that doesn't do Blood 4 Somewhat less so, though, since blood is so much easier to boost (based on other foruming and my own SP games + theorycraft) - blood hunting is able to be scaled up if you need it, so you empower a single mage to Blood 4. I have no actual ...

I will be in-channel tomorrow as soon as I get home, which should be approximately the same time as on Friday.

I can't remember what Captain NES did , so I coudn't tell you He's the Gadgeteer hero in that list. He had a Zapper that shot things and made icy tetris blocks, and a control pad that does time and speed shenanigans. You could basically account for all his powers with Prison of Ice, Nimble Feet, Sh...

2.) This is still characters not fearing death, per se...they're just fearing the price tag you arbitrarily assigned to death. Er... isn't this pretty much vacuous, given that the arbitrarily assigned price tag (any value up to and including the entire character) is the only way to make someone &qu...

Okay, apparently Abysia has evocation 9. I really, really should have seen that coming and dispersed my undead among my commanders more. The burning spirit of the Abysian people will not be quenched by such things as "not having Evocation 9"! Just who the hell do you think we are? ... But...

@Spiderman being Icarid: Yeah, I've always modeled him as such. I just strongly associated his powers with "bug magic". Grass Rope and Water Prison would work too, though, now that I actually think about it. More than one person has requested a genuine monster . Gargoyles, Minotaurs, Xenom...

The Legend of the Queen [/size] “ Everyone wishes they were important in a previous life. We actually were. ” [...] Love & Justice ^_^ ^_^ ^_^ OK. Is there anything that people really do or do not want to see? Does that setup sound functional? Something in Song of Swarms for webslinging would b...

Summary for the apathetic: Some dude who thought he was a knight (he wasn't) and fought windmills he thought were giants.

So obviously I could throw in a chapter that goes into more detail on Diseases and Bugs and stuff, since that is relevant thing. And I'm also seriously considering splitting off a chapter about Androids, Daeva, Nezumi, Mi-Go, Fallen, and Baali from the Denizens of Hell chapter. So that's like 8 cha...

Undefined by rules. Possible houserules to resolve this include, but are not limited to: 1) You vomit up the creature during the reversion of the transformation. They are in your square. 2) The creature makes a Strength check to burst its enclosure (i.e., you). If it succeeds, you now have a gaping ...

Basically. Though it may not be wholly incurable, a Medicine test that gets enough "awesome" (which isn't actually well-defined) could cure a disease. At the worst a "Superhuman" Logic+Medicine result (6 hits) should remove a disease from someone. Bug/Feature Request: Weaponry an...

Zombies Soulless write-up says that Soulless can spread their infection. This is not true (but probably should be). No repro. Soulless are usually carriers of the Rage Virus (which turns people into Soulless), and spread it via normal viral infection methods rather than the magical infection touch ...

So, yes, as I stated, I am available for Friday night. Which is at night, on Friday, such as for example 7:00, which is 9:00 his time. Which is, by the way, at night. On Friday. When I am available.

I dont get it, if you transplant an Typo O arm on your otherwise normal body, you dont get organ rejections, why should you get one, the other way around. Because it's not symmetric. Let's use blood type as an example (I think that's the right page), since that's an actual thing that actually happe...

Note, however, that if you jam an inhabitation spirit into a full-body Type O clone you can also jam crazy amounts of cheap bioware into them without massive essence reduction. I.e., without the host body dying beforehand. If you Invoke it and light a lot of karma on fire, you could plausibly even g...

Pretty simple: Transplanting a non-Type O organ into a Type O body carries all the risks of a non-protein-matched organ transplant (i.e. tissue rejection) that Shadowrun has long passed by even for the bottommost dregs of society. Your brain is neither hypoallergenic nor a protein match for a clonal...

Doesn't Warhammer 40k recommend you actually resolve rules interpretation conflicts through overt violence or something?

It could be worse. They could be using a non-recursive bubblesort. It can always be worse , doing that is trivial. Just add more loops, more allocations, or more exponentiations. Hell, they could be using snailsort . stop trying perform complex mathematical functions when trying to stat something u...

We have a term for that in my field. It's called "why the hell are you using bubblesort, dumbass".

Yes, PM

I can reasonably expect to be available at 7:00 PDT (9:00 in Chicago), though I can arrange for sooner if necessary.


Edit: by sooner I mean maybe an hour before that tops

or get rid of critical existence failure. This, especially in a dicepool system. If you give out wound penalties and have your damage output based superlinearly on the number of net hits, it is very much in your best interests to be fighting 10 guys at (say) 25% damage output than 5 guys at 100% da...

Even if nobody else is, I'll be setting my client to log everything and can post it.
