The Gaming Den

How good / bad is Call of Cthulhu, and is it worth playing with a somewhat competent DM ?

...wait, who is trying to redefine racism to exclude whites?

I have had some serious issues summoning anyone or getting summoned in Dark Souls 1 for some reason. Nothing seems to be working.

Then I simply misread. Again, I would not side with such shit unless I was an asshole, which I am not.

I would link some really weird videos, but they're in Finnish so most of the jokes wouldn't work here.

I probably should clarify a few things then. 1) I didn't know Occluded Sun is that much of an asshole. Had I seen more of his posts on the topic than the few I glanced through, I probably wouldn't have sided with him on that one part. 2) Due to being the son of an immigrant (as well as being jewish)...

I'm not taking this too seriously, but I honestly found Tussock's post rather ridiculous. You can draw your conclusions from that.

Howard and Lovecraft kept an amicable correspondence, so I figure any hero manly enough to be Conan has a chance against the eldritch horrors. That may be true, but the way things work in D&D doesn't exactly reflect that. If you want something like a Shoggoth down, you're going to have to go ab...

Wouldn't the effectiveness of the Rune also depend on the skills of the one invoking it?

Holy shit Tussock, are you fucking serious? Are you really saying EVERY problem in the world is caused by heterosexual white men? And like Occluded Sun already said about that "racism" part, things aren't as simple as you're making them out to be. There are a great deal of issues on both s...

I got both Dark Souls 1 and 2 cleared out. Every achievement unlocked, nearly all builds tried out from start to end.

Probably not going to touch the games again unless a friend asks me to engage in some jolly co-operation with them every now and then.

Wait, how did this thread about racism derail into talk about Anita Sarkeesian, sexism and ridiculous poses?

I am also surprised at the lack of talk about stuff in Ferguson, the increased antisemitism in Europe and other more relevant shit.

The Defiled Forever trope is probably another thing to mention here, if Virgin Power is relevant.

http://www.d20pfsrd.com/magic-items/wondrous-items/wondrous-items/m-p/ornamental-kobold-spellbook Am I misreading things, or is this actually an economical and super-compact method of dumping a bunch of blast spells on the field, then casting Make Whole and doing it again next adventure? Maybe an e...

I actually read a book all about day to day life in Ancient Mesopotamia.

Hopefully this book will give me some ideas on how to build one part of my own setting.

Some of my friends are hyping Bloodborne, but I wonder if that game will be worth it...

Sometimes I wonder, does antisemitism count as racism?

Anyway, most people should know that Anita's full of shit by now.

Would Merlin count? He was a cambion born of an incubus and a nun, if I recall right?

Terry Pratchett died today...

Why is a PM I have tried to send last week just sitting in my Outbox, instead of going to the Sentbox?

I got sick last week, but got this done.

I'll get to this today when I can.

Poor formatting, in a clusterfuck book like this? What a shocker.

I stopped caring about Valentine's day ages ago.

I don't think the demonization of D&D ever hit folks outside of the US. Did it?
