The Gaming Den

Does a direct link work? https://www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=1 For me, if I click on 'view my posts' I can find any one that is in the IMHO forum (like D&D movie) and then from that post click on the 'In My Humble Opinion Forum' and it works. But if I go to the board index I don't see a...

I'm torn on this. Sticking your hands into random holes is generally not sensible. But it just seems too weird a question - like something must have been lost in it. In the Audrey Hepburn/Gregory Peck movie Roman Holiday "They tour the Colosseum. Joe then takes Ann to the Mouth of Truth and tel...

It's strange to start with what seems like so much money relatively speaking. Yes, pay her.

I see no reason not to see a soothsayer. Maybe we can get a luck bonus.

So treasure can be a multiple of 2 or 3, but not both unless it is at least 6. So far all the treasure we've seen has been a multiple of 2. That means that Gibbly won't get full pieces of gold, which means he wasn't planning to get paid. Increasing my vote to a full vote for Higgly.

Someone who is fearless and untrustworthy might take our gold and split. So I think hiring someone trustworthy is probably worth it, but we only have Higgly's word that he can be trusted. Well, traveling with a fiery red-head sounds more cinematic so let's call it a half-vote for Higgly (the more ex...

But you don't see it when you're, for example, on this thread.

Nothing succeeds like success. I think we should accept the challenge.

Do you see a 'not secure' warning in the address bar?
With this address?

From the little I've seen Fire is important. It seems that the 15gp fire sword would be the better choice. I may have doomed our last character with my name choice. If anyone else has suggestions I'll defer to them; I'll make a suggestion tomorrow if nobody else suggests one. Looking forward to it!

This was a subject of discussion this week on the Discord Server. With some ongoing website issues some people can't navigate to threads that don't have a recent post and some people may not know about the discord. Two birds, one post.

Thanks for running it.

Where would we have found beeswax? Dealing with the Slime and Swine Guttery?

I'm reminded of This Comic

Hopefully our misadventure will make the next successful one all the sweeter!

"Oh you poor, poor man! I'm a hero - I'll save you!"

Yes, let's approach him. I'm sure we'll live at least long enough to regret our noble gesture.

I believe I am outvoted but I say follow the footsteps. Just so I can say 'I told you so'.

This one is hard. But I'm feeling that left is right and right is wrong. So let's go left.

In context, saying that every class in your game can be used to play a soul knife, and then saying that the classes in your game are tightly controlled, is pretty funny. PL is arguing that if you have a class system you need to have a small number of classes that rigidly adhere to a specific and un...

There may be false leads and dead-ends, but I like exploring. Since we're here, I feel like we should follow the footsteps.

Infinite or even more than a tiny number of gradations of hybrid themes are things classless systems can generate fairly well. They are NOT something class systems handle well. Class systems do not do that well and so should not do that and should focus instead on reinforcing their actual strengths...

You contend that any good class system must have fewer than 20 classes. A good class system could have fewer than 20 (ours has 6) but it also could have more than 300. Rigidly defining a unique role (as you advocate) is an option, but many people (myself inclided) like the idea of playing various de...

Left again. Then first right.

I probably shouldn't post from my phone - it does lead me to make minor errors when throwing out example numbers but pointing out a calculation error isn't a refutation of the argument. I am not arguing that a Soul Knife is a 20-level class as conceived. I am arguing that people like the idea of som...

I vote to follow the half-ogre's instructions. Left.

1 gold per kill. Could be very profitable. Enter the mine.

A class based system with 20 classes is only better than a class based system with 100 classes if it provides the options expected in the play space. Soulknife (as printed in the Psionic Handbook) is a bad class, but it's an interesting concept. It's one that people want to play, and in some setting...

Kaelik, I don't know what sets of actions you are trying to compare and contrast that seem the same to you. The way I play nobody gets bonus damage on every attack because the conditional requirements are different. Even in a world where theoretically everyone does get their bonus damage on every at...
