The Gaming Den

Facepalm-worthy humour from the incoherently-characterised Witch-hunter? Who'd have thunk it.

Not that I dislike Virgil. I just wish they'd use him more as a character and less as a mouthpiece. Given we've dallied this long, check the cogs and pulleys.

32+65=97 - so long as the outward arrow on 6-4 is the out-valve, that should block it.

I mean, OK, fuck Virgil, but removing enemy regen does sort of make sense . Half a vote to try and shut off air to the bellows.

Some people (and possibly later versions of the system?) do a sort of 'botch confirmation' roll, wherein having rolled a 1, you roll again, and on a 3-10 you just fail. On a 1 or 2, consult the botch table and do something catastrophically stupid. Obviously the threshold for 'truly fucking up' can b...

You'll want to not use the 'botch on a 1' rule, either, if it's still a 1d10 system. Because we played way too much CP2020, and it was an ongoing fucking farce for that very reason.

Erik, I love you. Never change.

I'll also go with every seed but Strength, and using them to plant an exposition tree, just to break the vague tie.

ETA: If the seeds can literally be used to do undisclosed things, no motion to use them immediately. I was just being punny.

Town then orange

'Hard' AP, where AP2 ignores a 2+ save, gives you situations where your weapons are notably different. AP5 vs. 4+ save is useless, meaning that you either want NO AP or HIGH AP. 'Soft' AP, where AP-1 gives -1 to the save is useful against everything, so having AP is basically always a useful thing. ...

half a vote for a window in the secret passageway, and a full vote for me learning the rules . I'll go read.

If Invisibility is just a combat effect, agreed on both counts - plot coupons are more interesting than winning fights even harder .

I think you misread that 6 there, Darth - it says 1 in your transcript, but I'm sure it's a 6 from where I'm sitting .

Or, yes, don't abandon the little meatbags. Whichever!

Catch the looters, on the logic that we should be able to return and investigate without further danger, and they might have useful intelligence.

Or be useful snake food. Y'know, whichever. Scalies gotta stick together.

Sure, doorway.

...I mean, they did say you'd need the oil. But why they'd let you actually fail the book like 10 pages in, and only tell you that for sure this late... that's pretty much a middle finger, right? Cheerful to proceed on either backtracking, rerolling, or just penetrating the plot hole gleefully. What...

Well, then, in the name of more content... team fight!

(none of the shopping list items leap out at me as worthwhile)

Tempted by the prickle pair, looks like an upgrade to me. I'd guess we have to team battle before boss battle? If so, that.

...mm.. It is more likely to lead to further exposition. And our snek didn't do much biting. Dammit. Totally torn. Not a helpful post, I know. In the interest of not getting on Darth's tits by dithering, switch to half a vote to let him live, on the assumption that we can change that with direct act...

I confess, I like that our understudy, the black taipan, did the lecture early for such an eager student. Now I want to steal that snek :D. On the choice, though - not interested in the motivations of the guy who tried to kill us. More the 'watching him choke on his own tongue' afterclass. Half a vo...

Agreed on heading onto our next appointment, to whit, delivering the 'How to properly apply snek to face' lecture with help from our teaching assistant 'that backstabbing little shite'.

What does Faith do? If it's not particularly awesome, then yes, agree with Dreamcatcher and keeping venomancer (mah snek.). Monkey Temple also sounds fun.

This section is rather well-done, I must say. And likewise, follow the orders of the one talking to us in catfolk codenames, because that's likely relevant!

Also, fuck Benin and the One God, but.. that's less important than trying to get out of the illusion.

Take other excellent murder-stick (I can't see a downside to doing so at all..), neutral on whether to poke the purple portal or avoid. Half a vote to avoid, 'cos it'll probably MDK us in the face with little warning.

These all look excellent, and I love the project :). One question/quibble (questionibble?) Does Hog Tie require a successful pin , or just a grapple check ? 'cos while I would love to render someone helpless with a single grapple check, I can't help but feel that might be an oversight. If intended, ...

I'll take North for $5, Rabbit.
