The Gaming Den

I'm glad someone is getting a kick out of it.

Were you referring specifically to the sorcerers, or something else?

Class Spotlight: Sorcerer[br][br]This fluff goes with potentially out of date crunch, but I'll fix that later. [br][br]Sorcerers don't make sense. Verbal componenets don't make sense. Where did he learn these words? How are they the same as the ones a wizard uses. Same goes for somatic components. A...

Culture Spotlight: Humans (part one)[br][br] Upon my body... the ghouls may feast. But if you love Mi-kha-il, recover my knife. [br][br]Human originated on a group of sandy desert islands just on the edge of the Skylord's tears. They wear a lot of white and are required by their religion to carry da...

World Spotlight: Religion[br][br]The existence of any god or gods is not empirically verifiable. Many inhabitants of the region known as Skylord's Tears believe that the multiverse, or at least the part they live in, was created by a god named the Jisora, the Skylord. [br][br]The Raptorans claim to ...

On Feats: [br][br]Here are some of the feats I'm planning to create --[br][br]Skill feats. This is the most important one. I like a lot of the ones already posted, but want to try to make some feats which affect two skills. Not sure exactly how to make this work[br][br]New Outsider feats and spheres...

From "Unsorted Material"[br][br][br]"A constant item must be worn/used and working properly for it to count against the Eight Item limit, and activation items can only be used one at a time. For example, Tommy of the Twelve Magic Daggers can wear a constant effect magic armor, a const...

Culture Spotlight: Raptorans [br][br]Raptorans are the bird-men from Races of the Wild. There aren't many of them left. They're a dying breed. They just don't breed very quickly and they don't build towns, so their culture is more or less disqualified from ever mattering.[br][br]But they used to be ...

Creature Spotlight: Dragons[br][br]Dragons basically fulfill many of the roles of gods. They've been around for a really long time, and they played a major part of creating the world. Specifically, the planar cores. As a result of this, they can do all kinds fo world-altering enchantments. [br][br]F...

Creature Spotlight: Outsiders[br][br] "Returne from whence ye came, foul beast!" [br]"... Actually, I live just over there." [br][br]Outsiders play a huge part in this campaign, always meddling with something or other. The lack of gods and easier accessibility of other planes hel...

World Spotlight: Alignment[br][br]Alignment comes from the planar cores. Individual planes may have alignment traits, but every region contains trace levels of all four alignment particles. [br][br]These particles are attracted to certain types of people and actions. If you consistently murder, chea...

Class Spotlight: Clerics[br][br] Gabriel is a pretty groovy dude. He taught me how to light you on fire with my mind. [br][br]D&D polytheism is dumb. Plus, not many players can do religion convincingly. Clerics are still integral to D&D.[br][br]So here's the deal. Divine magic is learned ski...

World Spotlight: Planes[br][br] This plane flies from limbo to hell, stopping over in heaven, hades, and the city of brass [br][br]This cosmology has a handful of othe rplanes that work like D&D planes. The Ethereal is one. There may be others, but that's a subject for another time. However, the...

I don't have access to a 3.x crystal dragon write-up, nor a compelling motivation to introduce them.

Item Spotlight: Weapons[br][br]This section is currently incomplete, but I do have a question: Why do magic weapons take up one of our 8 item slots? Considering that fighting characters need a weapon and casters have no use for one, it seems like blatant favoritism to wizard,s not to mention screwin...

Class Spotlight: Wizards[br][br] The robes are bitchin'. If only they didn't scream "eat me first!" [br][br]Arcane magic started with one race. And it wasn't elves. It was dragons, who naturally possess the ability to shape the world as they fit. Most races who observed thought either &quo...

Culture Spotlight: Halflings[br][br] You have displeased the Legion [br][br]Halflings. They're small. This means one island can sustain a lot of them. They have great teamwork. They work hard and never say die. [br][br]Halflings are the dominant power of this setting. A long time ago, they were more...

Culture Spotlight: Elves[br][br] The old kingdom was really, really groovy [br][br]The internets ate my last post on elves, so here's the summary.[br][br]Elves aren't arcanists stereotypically, they're druids. They invented druidism. The next most popular class is rogue [br][br]They used to rule an ...

On Classes:[br][br]This is a tome game. I am definitely using the PHB casters, rogues, the Races of War characters, the outsider classes, and assassins and summoners.[br][br]For the other classes it remains to be seen. Some, like Jester, are awesome in concept, but may not quite fit thematically. I'...

This thread is the thread where I throw all my ideas related to a PnP Tome game I'm running in January. The players have mostly played D&D before but are unfamiliar with the Tomes. [br][br]Some basic notes:[br][br]The earth is overrun by hordes of the undead. Nobody civilized lives there except ...

In that case, becoming "more like someone women are attracted to" is impossible, since women are apparently incapable of feeling attraction

They're talking about having anal sex with a girl with a penis.

Doesn't seem all that shocking to me...

1196088935[/unixtime]][br]I've had several female friends tell me that women don't want sex in and of itself. [br] [br][br]This is simply *not true* [br][br]Why do women go to bars and participate in one-night-stands?[br][br]Why do they ogle attractive movie stars? [br][br]Why do they write slashfi...

Why on earth would I take dating advice from a writer who seems convinced that women don't enjoy sex?

Consider what life experiences would lead someone to that conclusion, and tell me if his is an example you want to follow.

1195781190[/unixtime]] 1195780575[/unixtime]]Confidence is key. [br][br]Do something that improves you as a person, work out, read something edifying, study a field of knowledge, hone a talent. [br][br]That's too much work to impress someone else.[br][br]Yes, I am going to college and whatnot, but ...

I've used counterspelling pretty frequently, actually. Admittedly, it was in a big group where trading off one PC's action to protect somebody was no big deal. [br][br]Yes, one COULD use a direct damage spell to disrupt, but in a higer-level game that's not very reliable. [br][br]We fought a lot of ...
