The Gaming Den

Well, despite net boosterism to the contrary, there really isn't a market for e-books. People don't actually want to pay real money for a book that they can't physically own, loan freely to friends, and flip pages back and forth on. This is not an uncommon position . -Username17 Are we talking book...

Hah, but one nice feature (?) does it have,
you can drop Wizards off your friend list.

How did it get there?

Fully subjective also...

There's a difference between stating something is shit, and using shit, fuck, and other swear words in every sentence. Ah you count the shits? At what count mark its too often? [edit] And sorry if you mistake this for passive-agressive, that was not the intent. The intent was to clearly attack such...

I find the cussing on this board refreshing. (even if I [normally] dont do it)
But if someone thinks something is shit he should say it.

Please stop this passive agressive non-cussing campaign.
That I do find annoying.

In BESM you can built a Char with PowerUps/Transform into an Uber Char.
If I remember correctly you get discounts for your Powers if they are time-limited.

On almost every level, either DnD4.0 or Dark Sun would need to be 're imagined' for there to be even a semblance of compatibility, and just as DnD4.0 doesn't resemble Dungeons and Dragons, I bet Dark Sun DnD4.0 won't resemble the Dark Sun of prior years. Like FR? :bolt: Just want to throw this out ...

TD you said you are a playtester for D&D 4ed?
Do you present your findings on wrong/bad/whatever rules to WotC like your argument here?

*hmm*

I think one of the appeals of tiers and scaling and farm production and all that crap is the idea that you could zoom in and out of the action in the game world. I can't imagine that I'm the only one that occassionally wants to play SimCity or Civilization in the context of D&D. Sometimes you w...

You dont need levels for that, look at how much XP the Civilian has and thats it.

Right. Like a thousand is used instead of hundreds. Unless, of course, something costs fifteen-hundred bucks. Oh wait, that's right, people never say anything like that. :roll: With that stupid strawman something you call an argument I could argue English native speaker (outside of the military) ar...

We are talking about businessmen representing a large company, not some retards who think 5-digit numbers > 6-digit. Seriously, what the hell kind of idiots are you live among to think like that? I live in the United States. The people here elected George W. Bush president at least once, if not twi...

Wow, you have an opinion of (your?) the American justice system/judges.

if you cant handle insults you should go home...

I can seriously build a RoW/Dungenomicon/Tome character that can drop Elminster like a sack of bricks; even if there was a 10 level character difference. That's how badly Elminster is built. You could build an WotC-Source Character who can kick his ass. (In this case, need to be a caster of some so...

The Spaghetti Western The key concepts I think need to be gotten across are: * Tiers are not analogous to levels nor even to collections of levels. Tiers are brackets wherein it is reasonable to expect people to be able to adventure together" I didn't think about this way but it now makes the ...

Honestly, you really can't do that in 3E either. There's no mass combat simulation...

Did you look at Fantasycraft?

Likewise, "precision damage" isn't defined anywhere either, and yet they toss the phrase around as if it meant something. Its backward (they say...) compatible, so if its definied anywhere in 3.5.... use that :bored: Or do they make the claim, that Pfadfinder is a stand alone product? :ba...

Since writing a new system involves making each piece whole cloth, making a DnD clone is not just foolish, but a waste of your time. IMHO you are discussing about semantic's. You both (Frank&K) agree that the fighter need nice things. Those things can be magical and non magical. The problem is ...

It's not just mind-control magic.

Obscene (Unseen) Servant.

Hmm, didnt think about this one...

That is bullshit. The thread covers the SAME fucking idea I've been wrestling with here. Fighters that can keep up via non magical means. IT'S the fucking title of the thread! Nitpick: Its similiar but not the same. Similiar as in Fighters are bad in DSA - Fighters are bad in D&D Same as in bad...

B. Get used as an excuse for the DM to give you information about the plot and are otherwise completely useless. Ex. Every RPGs Knowledge skills. Its handy if the DM has no clue/preference how much information he should give. C. Get used as some kind of extra way to be better at normal things when ...

By the argument, the char can cast invisibility he is on par with an Lvl. 3 (Wizard) or 4 (Sorcerer) Char...
That was an Lvl. 20 build, or not?

*cries tears of joy for people like FatR for getting the fucking point* Frank: You have been seconded only by Kaelik in your lack of evidence for attacking my argument. Did we read the same posts? I don't even get why you don't see how what I'm talking about would work considering a perfect example...
