The Gaming Den

Even though I brought it up and even though it's pretty likely, I think its a bit unfair to act 100% like this guy is Jerry/Captain Bleach we don't absolutely KNOW. It could be a, remarkable, coincidence. Unless someone does an IP match or something. I am not Bleach or Jerry, or whoever the fuck th...

In other political news anti abortion movement hates contraception and uses imaginary science against the advice of its own medical experts to conflate it with abortion and deny access. Like over here What? They just plain want sex and women in particular to be punished? Who knew? God, that is terr...

Does anyone else believe my call on Jerry now? Anyway. 4e is the big news in D&D, indeed D&D now IS 4e. This site is primarily about D&D. 4e is a bit sucky by our high standards. Therefore there will be lots of 4e talk and a lot won't be positive. It's like complaining that an Olympics ...

To be fair, I think there should be a mechanic where chainmail bikinis magically have the protection of full plate. :D Dungeons and Dragons should not serve as an outlet for your erotic fantasies. Awkward stares at the gaming table aren't worth it. I'll keep your opinion in mind while I contemplate...

Meh, I got bored with the 4E posts/threads myself. Too much conversation about things that I have neither read nor plan to read. It's being hashed over by other people that have and want to hash it over. I'm sure that the benefits will be apparent in TNE. I'm fine playing a Tome game, I even ran on...

I think they actually had their hate-on for small people.

I always thought that they hated the "Savage, Evil Races" and have them gimped stats so that nobody would play them.

For realistic Hide in Plain Sight, look at the camouflage rules from Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater.

Yes. I had no problem with Hide in Plain Sight, but one of my players did. Then are you aware of how astoundingly broke-dick the hide skill got in 3.5E? Seriously, after Complete Adventurer came out to 'clarify' things, Hide in Plain Sight did literally nothing at all. It was like 3.0E Eagle Claw A...

If it's a pseudo celtish fan wank that has good rules, that's fine with me.

And most D&D books consist of Cleric/Druid/Wizard fanwankery.

You do understand the difference between suspending your belief because the game is supposed to run on magic and being gypped out of an ability because it doesn't work as advertised, right?

Yes. I had no problem with Hide in Plain Sight, but one of my players did.

Every archetype in the Tome Series can be represented to a lesser or greater extent. But other than Wizards, I have yet to see a "Mad Scientist" archetype. Skill Feats credited to Iameki. Tome Material Frank and K. Why make this class? Because I can. This is intended for a low-level horror...

Nope.

Pessimists aren't known for their sense of humor.

And your sense of humor is most likely different than mine.

You know what, I'll stop complaining about people who complain. I'll take Leress' suggestions to heart and just not read certain posts. Thank you Leress for your level-headedness.

I hope that I did not piss everyone off, and I apologize if I did.

I've changed the post. Happy now?

Game On,

Sorry, I didn't mean to come off that only fan-boys play Tome Games. I was using emphasis to make my point.

If it bothers you, I'll edit my post.

Ow. If you do need to print stuff like this out you should probably put two pages to a side and use both sides of the paper. that at least saves paper. if you have to worry about ink. just get the important stuff rather than all the fluff. it might take a little extra work but that's a fvckin huge ...

Please re-read what this was responding to. If you would also notice you don't really see me on most of those threads about 4e. Okay, I apologize for misinterpreting your posts. But the Tomes and 4th Edition have the same idea at heart: make a D&D game. If you are more than capable of picking u...

There was no real need to make a new thread about this. This could have been said in another thread. What thread would you recommend, then? A certain amount of complaining is a good thing, because it does highlight the bad aspects of the game, which can be used to identify it in other games; especi...

There aren't new thread about it mostly it just on going threads Alright, I apologize. I change the word "threads" to "posts." It still seems like a lot. I'm not a fanboy. I do play a Tome game. What does that have to do with 4e not being good It's a D&D variant that a lot o...

Ah, you noticed it too? Of course, just wait for someone to pull the "you are complaining about complaining" card out. Of course I'm complaining about complaining! The horse is dead, and the nail has been driven into the coffin. And if someone does use it as an excuse, it doesn't rational...

Ad nauseum, I see people posting here about how much 4th Edition sucks. Now, I can understand your anger, but to keep having posts about it, basically repeating the same thing over and over? If you bought the books and don't like them, use your receipt to get your money back. Or, if you lost said re...

I don't know about you, but I've never seen Stealth/Hide that wasn't handwaved in 3e. I remember this time when a player argued that Hide in Plain Sight made no sense , as he said that you still need cover/concealment. By his logic, the entire point of the class feature was rendered useless. To sho...

I can already predict what happens;

"What a clever tactic!"

or

"But the rules say that you can't!"

or

"It's not a problem because the DM can fix it lolololol!"

I have the Tome PDF. I printed it out.

Do you know how much ink that cost?

And why haven't these rules been made into a third party book? That would save a lot of money on printer ink.

How general/specific are Craft skills?
