The Gaming Den

You forgot your initial table tag

Well, I said I'd do another one, so here I am. Helping or something. I guess. I flipped through the MAXIMAL MONOGRAM until I found something that caught my eye, and found....

Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser RPG?

Hm, I type "fuck" a lot when extremely tired. Oh well, I'll do another MEGALITHIC MISSIVE entry tonight.

I think it's worth getting rid of. I've encountered many confused looks when explaining to new players that a weapon has to be masterwork before it can be magical. It adds complexity to the game for almost no benefit. If it did something else, like giving a +2 bonus to confirming critical hits or so...

I feel like people should join in, or else we may all be dead before this great work is finished. I was literally doing the head nod fall asleep momentarily and wake up for a bit cycle, checking the Den before calling it quits until I read this. It just so happens I also have a MAYHEM MEGABOOK (2nd...

I enjoyed this review of the MENAGERIE MANUSCRIPT more when it involved monsters other than dinosaurs.

I still enjoy it, just not as much. Moderate love?

just use another url that goes the same place, I've taken the liberty of creating http://tinyurl.com/cu8qpku for you.

I stumbled upon a delightful free game called Red Rogue It bills itself as a "side scrolling roguelike", and I was expecting something akin to Spelunky (which is also worth checking out, being free on PC). My first impression was slightly negative. It seemed like it was too simple. There's...

You have to be, what, level 4 to become a vampire? But otherwise yeah.

I don't play Shadow Run, but the effort you've put into it is pretty impressive, I like the result.

No problem, if I find the time (stop being lazy) I may do something with these akin to the tome pdf.

Yessssss

As an aside, are you keeping these in some sort of single document? And, if so, would you consider putting it up when you're finished with your monster PRC run?

They also weigh 100lbs, which means it's hilarious when the wizard tries to wear one.

Chokers are actually totally awesome monsters to give straight up PC classes, I totally aprove of a PRC for chokers.

Also, cloakers. You should be able to wear them.

Oh, if for "Classed Monster" you meant building a monster as a "Lurker 3/Brute 4" I would say you could take it or leave it depending on how flexible you want your system to be. In my fantasy heartbreaker I've divided all creatures into Person or Beast. Both of them can gain leve...

Yeah, I forgot to say it, but you should definitely tag the powers with some value too. A point value or a level or something, however the system you end up using works.

I do think having every ability be on a "power list" of some sort is beneficial for modularity. It doesn't really matter if you don't have every ability possible to use to create any conceivable monster, only that when you introduce a new monster with a new ability you tag that new power s...

I think it's reasonable to have NPCs, Monsters, and Classed Monsters within one system, though it's not strictly speaking necessary for every system. It really depends on what sort of game you're going for. If, for example, you're designing Spelunkers of Sarthassos, which is about Indiana Jones styl...

Just a comment about the elemental planet-planes being sucky in D&DGate, you could have each of the elements be more like an interstallar wind (originating from somewhere outside the galaxy) that flows, winds, and branches throughout the universe. Sometimes they'd envelop planets for short perio...

Damnit Prak, you're reminding me of when a friend playing a Druid asked what would happen if said Druid awakened his bear animal companion, wildshaped into a bear and mated with it. Since then there's a recurring joke amongst my group that said friend has a bear fetish. How do you think you get Urs...

Using the regional model for a fame/infamy system, it seems like it would only be manageable with a well defined and limited setting, and would require you to build the whole rpg including the setting (instead of just the mechanics to accommodate that.

Being inside a dog would, in fact, provide you with concealment. Probably total concealment unless its an incorporeal dog.
