The Gaming Den

Some people like character building, other people want to emphasize strategy, other people want to emphasize tactics. Some people just want to focus on NPC interaction.

You mean actual Roleplaying with that last one?

No offense to Prak's idea here, but if the Fighter's Foil Action works like the way he had suggested on the previous page, that Fighter would also be something of a Reality Warper...it might be less derp if the DM does it, but a Player Character always causing sudden calamities to foes just by being...

The DM is not ONLY the game world, but he is also a player. It seems that one problem is that one or the other is often overlooked.

You have some social problems that need to be worked out in your group. You had bad DMs, but want to blame the game because of them, rather than accept blame yourself, because you couldn't stand up to the schmuck and say, "you fucking suck as a DM so you arent going to DM anymore." Did yo...

I wish I had some of the Wednesdays free of work. I seriously feel bad after I was forced to leave last time. Also, sexy demons sound interesting. (I was reminded by a friend of an inside joke involving Kuniko and a whip...) Also, silly edit. I can imagine someone eventually asking "are you rea...

Let's just say that with all the changes that PF has made to the system (especially in the feat and caster class department), there is no real compatibility. You're better off digging up the basic 3.5 books along with the compiled tomes. Besides, Pathfinder sucks quite a lot more in some departments...

Sounds like a clever idea, except that you could go into more detail and wait for the smarter people to give their thoughts on this as well
(I'm not up for giving an analysis here since I'm running on four hours of sleep right now...)

This is a shame. One of the REASONS I have a Deviant Art account is a guy who does stuff for Anima. He is awesome. Ah, well. This made my day. I have an account there because I stalk people and do something nobody else does on that site: Upload written works instead of drawings (though I do have so...

Well, I stayed at the session for as long as I could. And next session is when? :biggrin: Edit. The wording of "Impress Flames" confuses me. My Charisma modifier is a -2, while my Fire Mage level is 1... "Every time a Fire Mage inflicts Fire damage on any target, whether with his clas...

One problem...fun is subjective, and a manner of those things some find annoying, others find enjoyable. And while I agree on the part about Traps usually being made of ass, I've also found that some players prefer Intimidate and ass-kicking over EVER using Diplomacy. But yeah, I think the problem w...

Grabbed an online roller (Used the Stat Roll option, which for some reason did NOT save my results unlike the Full Roll) and got... 17 14 10 15 15 12 So...which level do the newcomers start in? I still feel like some details that I need are missing that I would wanna ask here already (though I bet I...

Okay, the character is going to be a Samurai / Fire Mage after all, and she would probably join the crew just for pillaging people and gathering wealth so she can build a new shrine for herself some day (and she probably wanted to make friends too, but she wouldn't admit that unless she was drunk or...

I would say the longer Jian, since it fits the best. And I actually should have read more about swords and their lengths after all.

I still need to set up all these IRC things and such... (I sound so pathetic when I phrase it like that) ...and the game is wednesday, right? I'll just go with the shrine maiden (since she has chances for character development compared to the other two). And I would have made her a Sohei instead of ...

Weeeell, are there any alternative lightly-armored katana (actually wields some chinese sword)-wielders than the Samurai? Since that character isn't really a Samurai, but more of a wandering youkai hunter / shrine maiden in her original story (which does not apply here, since Disgaea is about demons...

Judging from that post, the succubus seems to have caught your attention. (Even though that damned shrine maiden tempts me.) Well, since you asked...here's a picture http://devilshaart.deviantart.com/art/Stop-192029485 (Yes, I am in that site, and no, I did not draw that, it was a request. And that ...

For some reason my group usually doesn't go through the procedure of looking through the entire rooms for traps despite me throwing traps at them because they didn't bother searching for them. I guess they are aware of the fact that always looking is just as bad as never looking.

Alright, so...I've brewed up some ideas on which classes to pick and such for the most part, but now I ended up having three different character ideas to go with (which are based off characters I have actually made in the past outside D&D games), one male and two females. I don't wanna make any ...

Oh, okay.

"If you're in Europe, it's reeeeeally early Wednesday mornings." - Really early? As in 05:00 AM or 04:00 AM ??

If so, then I guess losing a few hours of sleep (thus making the rings below my eyes look even darker) would be worth it.

EDIT!! ...wait, no more edits.

Hello, and sorry for just suddenly dropping by, but this game has caught my curiosity (since I'm such a hopeless Disgaea fan and all...) but there have been things stopping me from actually asking if I can join. 1. What are all the things I need to install so I can actually join in? ICQ and...? 2. A...

I support the Omnislash idea, because it is awesome.

But it really is the same thing. Sometimes an action is just an action. They don't need to scale and they don't need to be considered. Walking across a room, climbing a wall. It's an action, not per se a challenge of your skill. So when you were playing AD&D, and a heavily armored fighter or a ...

I've noticed the high chance to suddenly die with level 1 characters, both in my current campaign and in the one where I wasn't the MC. Now what exactly are we getting at here?

I am not looking forward to ANYTHING Paizo announces anymore. That's how jaded I've become.

I'll try and go with Josh's advice before simply going "Well I wanna try this shit and if you guys were willing to put up with the shit 4e was, I see no reason to leave this aside as well." But hey, thanks for all the advice, from everyone.
