Yeah, that was to inform Captain Bleach, since I'm guessing he's never heard of it.

1190874484[/unixtime]]Teeners is amazingly simple. [br][br]In case it wasn't abundantly clear, TfOS is a comedy system. If you want a serious game, it's not what you want. Of course, if you want a serious game, your basic premise needs to change.[br][br]On the other hand, dueling to the bonk is pre...

1190861905[/unixtime]][br]To the Underlined: A semi-supernatural high school drama Modern RPG, ala Sailor Moon, Great Teacher Onizuka, Harry Potter, where the PCs are mid-high school students with wacky adventures, from the pitfalls of peer pressure to the odd "Evil Genius/Demon/Overlord."...

1190861437[/unixtime]]The newest retardation is composed of complaints that I made the Warlock a Warlock instead of a generic guy who gets magic planar powers. [br][br]I just love the claims that the original Warlock had "flavor options" to be fey or whatever. Which it didn't. It was a &q...

When you feel like you are ready to post something serious, come back here.

I'm pretty sure that you have neither the authority, nor the degree of respect necessary to tell other people to shut up here.

1190750087[/unixtime]][br]It when then claimed that C&C was wrong because it had different experience tables. It was then claimed that only a true uniform system could ever be balanced. It was my goal to prove both these assertions wrong. [br][br]Well, you've done a really bad job thus far. Mos...

1190574614[/unixtime]][br]No. Because a smart fighter wouldn't waste a cohort slot on a mount. He'd bring along a pocket spellcaster and magic item creator. If he has a druid, for example, it could buff, make items in down time and cast Phantom Stag, Summon Natures Ally #, or whatever, whenever the...

1190566465[/unixtime]][br]Also, wow. Ceilingcat, they really are still crying about your Warlock. Having finally decided "fuck it, I don't care if I'm banned", I trolled just the smallest amount. I do like your retort on WotC balance though. [br][br]Wow. That had an incredible amount of s...

From what I recall, Rifts (well, the Palladium system in general, I guess) suffered from a couple pretty huge problems. First, your character class determined your power level, and the various character classes weren't even close in many cases. In DnD terms of vulnerability and offensive power level...

1190267551[/unixtime]][br]look, there seem to be a number of shots being taken at me, [br][br]I would like you to know that not only are we not taking shots at you, we are restraining ourselves to a degree that strikes me as shocking in order to be polite to you. Your basic premise is just plain st...

1190226958[/unixtime]][br]Well... they're weaker than some monsters of their CR. Some monsters are just rated wrong . Some are just bad match ups for a particular party (and/or players). And, of course, it depends on how a player builds his character. A rogue with no UMD capacity is going to suck d...

1190222328[/unixtime]]But if you didn't have the 'Win the Game' classes, the other classes would (largely) be fine. Well, apart from the inherent problems of the CR system, but thats a different bag o' crap. [br][br]Unfortunately, you cannot really divorce the two problems: The weaker classes are a...

The question is pretty stupid on its face. [br][br]Of course we can still enjoy a flawed game. We (or me at least) just enjoy it less. In many cases, a whole lot less.[br][br]In DnD the main BALANCE issue is the character level to CR discrepancies. Some classes are more powerful than the average mon...

1189840636[/unixtime]][br]first, we like FMA, second, we like WW, third, the system works perfectly fine for our purposes, which strangely, don't include raping the system in inane ways just because we can... despite the fact that I keep trying to justify human alchemy... [br][br]The (both) WW syst...

1189833371[/unixtime]][br][br]I stop playing the game right after Apocalypse, after I heard that they were changing the setting of the game. I been keeping the occasionally tab on the MTG scene. Yeah I am glad I left. [br][br]I'm not. I entered a 22 person draft a month and a half ago, randomly, an...

Well... good-bye, good luck and call me if you are ever back.



Nick.

1189716502[/unixtime]][br][br]I'm a big fan of Musou-usage in Dynasty warriors, even if the single most broken character (Ling Tong) is best off only using it as an auto-succeed counter to break out of enemy combo attacks. His C4 is so much better. [br][br]Ling is probably the most fun character to...

MrWaeseL at [unixtime wrote:1189462372[/unixtime]] Dicefreaks is fucking awful and they don't understand how the game works.

This distinguishes them from...nearly every other board, how?

Well, I sort of like the Psychic Warrior. I like the "selfish-buffer" archetype. That and the "stand around and make everyone super" are my favorite ways to play.[br][br]Does the system sort of suck? Yeah, but it's not like any part of D&D does much better. And I'm good enoug...

1188794864[/unixtime]][br]Well, my ex and I have commited many illegal acts during sexual congress. That has less to do with perversion and more to do with the fact that Virginia's practically a dictatorship. [br][br]Most of those laws are unconstitutional, due to Lawrence v. Texas, so I wouldn't w...

Let's see. I'm currently in law school, which I think was common knowledge here. I have a BA in Philosophy. Before finishing college, I worked in a tortilla factory. Before that I worked as a programmer in Malaysia.

I've been wondering. Do your students know about your weekend job?

2. The stupid "Strict Game, Loose Game, Power Game, Your Mum's Game" bullshit. I think that one speaks for itself.

Has this spread beyond the one idiot?

1188569134[/unixtime]]I always heard that having high strength plus specializing in darts was a good way to deal some damage.
