The Gaming Den

One of the things that has to be considered is that Superman can kill the world elite fairly easily. If someone orders the new country of Supermanland torched to ash, they are going to be hunted down very soon. I just got done reading Death Note which has a theme somewhat similar to this. In that st...

Did that series ever get finished? I read up to the one where Richard suddenly manifests advanced sculpting ability and makes such a kick ass statue that it single handedly defeats Communism. Also, he did it in his spare time after working two jobs. If the series did not end with Richard beating the...

My favorite pokeman from the first game was Snorlax. Finally a game that realizes that fat and lazy people can be powerhouses. My people have never been represented so kindly before.

The golden target I think is one in which people who engage in melee naturally want to wear heavy armor and people who carry bows don't. Off the top of my head that could be achieved by giving melee attacks massive to-hit bonuses or higher rates of fire. In short, nearly the complete opposite of th...

If this giant dildo functions as a spear and that giant dildo functions as a crossbow the game just loses all verisimilitude. This is hilarious. I love the fact that you're against the idea of penis based weaponry based on the fact that it can be used to hide the true abilities of the weapon.

Does anyone know where I can get a newbie guide for dominions? It kinda sounds interesting but it seems like every discussion I read about it is so filled with obscure gameplay mechanics and strange acronyms that I have no idea what is going on. Maybe I will try out the demo later. I also am reinsta...

http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=79924 The question: The group I DM for has a powergamer in it and he refuses to stay on the railroad tracks. How can I kill him without giving him the chance to roll? A proposed solution: You could just send a never ending stream of kobolds at him. At...

Who wants to bet these numbers are cited in the middle of some serious nerd fighting?

Saves are a lot easier to fudge if you are DM. If you roll behind the screen, you can just announce whatever result you want. It is harder to do that if a player wizard casts finger of death on the BBEG and rolls a natural 20 in front of everybody. edit: looks like Frank said it before I did. One of...

I'm comfortable with Beowulf wrestling Grendel in a fight to the death and ripping his arm off. I think 4e can manage that. I'm not as comfortable with Beowulf raping Grendel's mom to death with his energy penis. I think my new favorite example creature for where fighters should be is the colossal ...

My immediate thought was inventor/gadgeteer, but frank beat me to it. I also think DnD wants an alchemist class. I know lots of classes can make magic potions, but I think people want a real class based around mixing up potions and winning combat by throwing them or drinking them. Think of how many ...

Being a law student, and thus basically a hobo until I get a job, I spend most of my free time (what little exists) looking for free stuff. Recently, I have been wasting my time recently with a freeware game called the Art of Theft. It is a stealth game made with adventure game studio. The basic sto...

So Frank, are we going to get more stories of the bizarre world that is the Czech Republic or have you acclimated yourself yet?

One of my DMs taught me to fear any race that was small. Especially if it had darkvision. Trying to fight something with total concealment while blind is a ruinous day.[br][br]Remember kids, if your DM says it is a 2 and a half foot wide hallway do not go in.[br][br]Re Epic: I am not sure that havin...

Good god, the first two lines reminded me of the Manchurain Canidate. Andy Collins is the kindest, bravest, warmest, most wonderful human being I've ever known in my life

1201329955[/unixtime]]It is immune to its own fire and poison (but only barely). It dishes out a d6 + 11 on a hit, and it hits itself on a 15+ (remember the -2 penalty for being in its aura). It seriously will take 15 hits to take itself down - which works out to about fifty combat rounds .[br] [br...

I am not sure if you are really sure what you want. So far, I have thought of three similar, though different, games that can come from your ideas.[br][br]Scenario 1: The Road Warrior[br][br]Life sucks. It is after the bomb/plague/whatever and most of the earth is a wasteland. The population is low ...

You know, this reminds me a lot of Fist of the North Star.

BRIEF SILENT IMAGE GUIDE[br][br]Silent image is probably my favorite spell in the game. It is the reason why I play wizards and beguilers.

1200326749[/unixtime]][br]What makes it a win spell is the maneuverability. If you dropped it to average, you eliminate hover, you prevent reverse directions, you have to make 45 degree turns and you can't move than 90° in a given turn. You can fall down but you can only go up in a 60° angle at hal...

I don't recall Gawain defeating the Green Knight's regeneration ability by slaughtering him every five seconds in that either.

I read his review for Fatal a while back. I did not know he had written anything else. Good stuff.[br][br][br] The problem is that only games which are unplayably bad are reviewed on that site.
