The Gaming Den

Why not just give them a handful of hit points? By mid level, most players will have attacks that deal 5 points of damage fairly reliably. Give 'minions' 4 hit points, so that most every attack will work, but not so low that players can do some "deal 1 point to everything" silliness, not t...

The adventures. The only thing that's even remotely tempting about Pathfinder to me is the adventures. All rulesets are quirky and require effort to make work dependent upon the players involved, having adventures for the ruleset gives me one less thing to worry about.

All Suicides combined: 11.1 per 100,000 residents. Suicides performed with a gun: 53% Suicide attempts per suicide: 11 Overall Suicide success rate: 9% Gun Suicide success rate: 90% ... This brings up an interesting question: Are suicide rates in countries/regions/cities/zones without guns LOWER th...

Dang, it's a shame you're so far away, I'd love to plunk that down on my table during an encounter.

If I don't look at the names, I can't even tell which one is which.

Crud, it all sounded completely unworkably insane until that last line, which sounds all too credible.

I'm certainly not ruling out the possibilities of blatant rehash or slapdash assembly.

4e's dropping sales require action. I predict Summer 2012 at the latest, with books available at Gencon 2012.

There will absolutely be something to buy in 5e by GenCon 2012. At least, that's what my crystal ball says.

Heck if I know, but every hobby shop I've been to has a stack of 4e hardcovers, and sooner or later the prices are going to come down...buyer beware, and all that.

Well, anyone who's even remotely considering buying a 4e hardcover book cares.

I think we're done here, folks.

Nah, it's like real life...nobody thinks much of their own life, since they expect it to end at some point.

And then only if the player is OK with that.

Hey, those are phat lewts...a friend of gets (buys) the scrap near a US artillery range for resale, suprisingly amount of money there.

Ah, a classic strip, definitely seems to fit with K's worldview.

Somewhere I have a religious tract that lists the character classes as fighter, wizard, and rapist.

Try going for a long walk after working out, go to Wal-Mart and walk up and down every grocery aisle if the weather won't let you outside (bonus: you get to learn the layout of Wal-Mart in detail). It won't help much with the arms, but it'll at least keep you from getting too sore to walk. I trust y...

I coulda swore those space orcs (Gomorrans) used glaives....or at least held them threateningly before being smacked down.

I'm sorry Frank, but no: If we let A be Alice observing a positive spin and B be Bob observing the spin at all, then we apply Bayes Theorem, that P(A|B)=P(A)*P(B|A)/P(B). Since we know that Alice's actions a light year away aren't going to make Bob any more or less likely to follow the schedule and...

You left out zombies.

Grats, Robby, that's a big huge deal.

In theory, sure; there's even a 'solar sail' type engine that might do it...granted, it'll take a long time to get to that speed. Trouble is, 'near c' is still basically useless for any particular human being wanting to travel the galaxy, even if it's not a problem for machine that don't, like need ...

4E treats the powers like magic cards and erratas them all the time to get closer to author intent and or to make sure that seriously broken shit doesn't become an ingrained part of the game. Bitching about errata is stupid because the alternative is to leave shit broken . Which is obviously worse....

"...semicolon; for the good of the colony."

A seem to remember a few lines from Blue Crush:

Girl: "You are an asshole."

Guy: "I do what I do best, honey."

At least now I know why Dead Rising 2 has such odd names for the multiple endings (S, A, etc).
