The Gaming Den

Leress's thread makes me cry.

I wonder if Mages could work if all effects that created something out of mana didn't work, and all effects that had a duration had to be maintained by concentration.

lol. I wonder if Mages could work if all effects that created something out of mana didn't work, and all effects that had a duration had to be maintained by concentration.

Nah, to many Save or sucks still in the system then,

I'm okay with a forum mod doing it. Heck, I'd send you a PM saying I'd edited it out, leave it out in future k thx as well. For pretty much the reasons in Maxomes last paragraph

I have to say I thought GURPs was a painful system to play with, but that was because it seemed to have lots of gotchas that if you didn't study it in depth your character was terrible.[br][br]Also - suggesting running 'paranoia' for the merits in its rules are misguided at best. I'm pretty sure the...

That and C.o.D.zilla is really super catchy. I was lolling very hard at the bit in that enworlds thread when you say "and spell like abilities don't cost any exps" and then he says " summoned creatures cannot do anything that costs xps"

Game set and hilarious.

Give in to the dark side, free form it up a bit, manipulate the rules so your players still have fun and bang your golden? Just give the fighter the artefact sword or whatever and go for it

The first feat doesn't really help, I think the fighter should have all good saves to start with, it doesn't. What I'd suggest is a feat that allows someone to use their fort save in place of one of their other saves either all the time or some number of times per day based on the number of feats th...

Lol, when I tried to play a class other than some sort of druid/cleric or wizard "Hey wait, these guys are shit and do exactly nothing fun (Read: Cool stuff that clerics/druids/wizards do), what the hell is the point of these guys again"

1186373735[/unixtime]][The Great Fence Builder Speaks][br]After a review of the relevant literature from Bbboy, "fuck" is hereby removed from the language filter.[br][/TGFBS] [br][br]I have to say this saddens me greatly, I felt fvck added lots of character ;)[br][br]That aside, fbmf is c...

And the writing is badness 10000

To be honest, you can probably keep the same feel while using RoW classes. If I was you, I'd consider doing that, because wading your way through a huge horde of ogres is way more fun than killing a bunch of orcs.

If you go back to Races of war I think, frank neatly divides monsters up into 4 types: [br][br] [br][br]# Characters: This is the “as a character” philosophy, which makes monsters at a certain CR where they are perfectly suited to fight parties of characters at that level, but might overpower a weak...

hehe, could be, I don't really have an indepth grip on the fluff of the setting yet, hence the questions ^_^

MIT&T is referenced though, but it certainly could have been brought out and commercialized.

If engineers and researchers and stuff are trained internally, what are MIT&T and similar educational bodies actually doing?

1185770724[/unixtime]]Truly skilled labor is generally trained from within. For almost any other type of work, skillwires are cheaper than training and robots are sometimes cheaper than that. [br][br]Mhmm, so where are scientists and researchers? Or even engineers? It seems even a engineering bache...

It would seem to me that in the shadowrun setting, skilled labor - especially mages, but even just people with tertiary educations - is going to be in short supply.

Why isn't there lots of labor mobility and great conditions for these people if the corps really need to recruit them?

I liked red hand of doom if you are looking for a non shitty one.

I think it's just his conversational style. Be interested to know though

1185402887[/unixtime]]LCDs have two mods, active and passive. Active mode LCDs don't blur, but in fact change faster than we can see the change. Passive only change when the change has happened long enough to fill the buffer.[br] [br][br]Then why is motion blur a problem with LCD monitors and scree...

I appear to have posted and then had the post monsters eat my post.

Anyway what I was saying is that the eye is much closer to an LCD screen, in that it's a moving average of what you see -> hence those stupid spinning disc tricks and blur and stuff.

The original Choasium system seems to be a bit, you know, ginger beer from my experience.

The problem with scrapping AA is that once you control for other factors behind "blacks do badly at school" one of the underpinning reasons they do worse at school is because they are black.[br][br]People have done studies controlling for income and school in Chicago, and while blacks do a...

I read raising the bar of the over players as 'skilling up' the other players OOCly to the requisite level - which might be explaining more effective character design or whatever.

I don't really give a rats ass in a way. I recognize the 'unique' business direction of WoTC has some limitations, but I don't really have the ability to actually care.

I think Frank & K's rules are cool though, hence the intrest.
