The Gaming Den

It's worth noting I don't think ALL WizOs are bad. WizO_Unicorn is easily one of the best moderators I've ever seen for a website, ever, and I still stay in touch with her.

...it's worth noting, of course, that they fired her.

Not to mention WOTC trolls are even worse. Once, on the WOTC chat I had someone openly discuss his sexual fantasies about torturing me, killing me, and then raping and mutilating my corpse because I was a munchkin. The admins said it wasn't actionable, because "Munchkin" was not an insulti...

I would suggest starting with one of the two most popular series. The Death series about... uh... Death. He's the grim reaper, but he's actually a really lovable guy. Honest. Lots of thoughts about death, the afterlife, and human nature. The series goes as follows: Mort -> Reaper Man -> Soul Music -...

Tome of Battle and Spell Compendium are the two books I refer to the most. Red Hand of Doom was also a surprisingly good adventure, despite Frank's scathing "review".

Is there any reason that the metamagic feats only have 4 powers, instead of the usual 5?

If it's bigger than 3x3 I want to be climbing up and down that motherfucker like it's Shadow of the Colossus to kill it, not smacking its ankles. So far that's something that D&D hasn't offered. Can I just say, thank you for that idea? As someone who's planning on running a 5-headed hydra as 5 ...

Right. And that means if one of you rewrites the spells, and one of you rewrites a class, both with different goals, you end up with something that fulfills both roles, and is flat-out overpowered. Something has to be done about it.

May I make a suggestion? It seems you have several people all working on blasting powers and related effects, with no actual collaboration before hand. It would probably be a really, really good idea to make a general "Blasting powers" thread first, list all the changes and all the new pow...

City of Heroes/Villians is kinda decent, but Champions Online is coming out soon, and that looks fantastic.

Wow, this arrived in the wrong thread and I just now realized. Edited out.

The Barbarian Multiclass is as you noted daily. In general 4e makes daily powers stronger. Obviously, daily should be stronger. But should one feat be outright better than another? Without extended Spellbook, each time you would gain a daily or utility power, you choose two, and may prepare either ...

5. Various broken abilities that demonstrate a lack of playtesting and/or willful disregard for legitimate concerns (Orbizard, Demigod epic destiny, rangers soloing Orcus, and so on). - Orbizard is a problem, as I've noted. Demigod is only really a problem at level 30, which isn't so bad as your su...

4) Sourcebooks should have a little something for everyone. I highly disagree here. In my opinion, books should be specialized and self contained. For example, Martial Power was damn near perfect, if not in power, at least in aim. Everyone in my group playing one of those classes bought it, there w...

From what I've heard, the Mouseguard game is actually pretty good. Maybe not the sort of crunch-heavy stuff we like, but I've heard it's streamlined, and made to be especially engaging to new, particularly young roleplayers. I was actually planning on buying it, until I saw the amazon price.

Or go halfling hurler and spazz out with like a gajillion acid flasks. It has Acid Resistance 10, but you're doing 33 damage per shot these days.

Or better yet, holy water.

The person who I was relying on for hosting it has taken their hosting down (without informing me, although that's no surprise due to not talking to them for a bit), and I no longer have the original files. It's basically been up on other people's hosting the entire time, and I've sorta been leechin...

As a simple example, how many people on this forum have downloaded the PHB for free, and how many actually play 4e? I play 4e, and I downloaded the book when it first came out. However - I also went out and bought it. HOWEVER, however, out of my gaming group of 8, there is one person who didn't buy...

So, for the third Leviathan type, I had a thought. What about instead of a bug-person, we had a type instead based off of the New Jersey Devil and gargoyles? Tall, brutish creatures, with wings and claws. They hide in forests well, and can camouflage themselves (possibly with a stone form), and have...

Similarly, you can't really find an easier game than Kirby Super Star To be fair, the Arena could be quite difficult. Have you played the DS remake? It adds an even TOUGHER arena that is... quite, quite difficult. My girlfriend and I spent a while trying to master it. It was hard, but every time we...

I am not sure how to to interpret the above posts. I linked these items because I don't really want to see the US devolve into the Hatfields and the McCoys where any time someone disagrees with some person's viewpoint the answer is to fucking kill them. There is no justification for these attacks. ...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31029377/ What the hell is this place coming to? This gets soooo much fucking better. Look at this quote: "We are shocked at this morning's disturbing news that Mr. Tiller was gunned down," Troy Newman, Operation Rescue's president, said in a statement. "O...

They have really, really shitty programmers. Look at E-Tools, look at their website in all its incarnation (it sucks horribly), look at the chat program they used to use. They simply didn't have the talent to it, and it's a much more complicated to set up then they were expecting (mind you, it's not...

Time to haunt your nightmares forever: Girls and Corpses is a real magazine from Romania. It's a fetish magazine for people who want to see... girls... and corpses. Am I a bad person for still finding this funny? It's not haunting at all - I mean, if I had a copy on my desk, just from the cover alo...

If they will let you bring your own paper, 250 sheets of legal sized card stock costs like 16 dollars. You probably want 110 lb stock. You could use that same pile for all the other cards too, because um... yeah. I don't know what you'd do with the remaining nearly two hundred sheets though. Make a...

Finally finished downloading this, and I went to the UPS store (the only local printer) today. Apparently, card stock with images on both sides costs over $1.20 per page. This means that this is going to be more expensive than any other boardgame I've bought. While I'm totally down with that, it's s...
