The Gaming Den

Sounds like a limited Weapon Focus to me!

I liked some of the Sword & Sorcery stuff by White Wolf (big fan of the Tome of Horrors series and Grimtooth!), so I bet that I'll like this.

However, is ENworld a viable and credible source for game reviews?

SphereOfFeetMan wrote:Ok. Thanks for the quick reply.

And thanks for your concern, Sphere.

What reviews? The one on that site that gives it 2 stars and calls it the most appalling proofreading he's ever seen? Its hideously expensive, thats all I can tell from here. Even the pdf is almost $50, which is absurd. I meant reviews in general. But I want to hear from other people on the book an...

I think that the real question is "what politician isn't deceptive in order to gain more votes?"

You can run around them and just pelt them with ranged attacks until they die. Also known as "hawking".

Okay, I'll give them bows or guns.

But many people would call Stalin "evil" and Czar Nikolai "neutral" or even "good." As a utilitarianist, I don't accept the logic. I can see where they are coming from, but it strikes me as horrible and short sighted. -Username17 Being jaded, I don't see politicians in...

The high-level NPCs are "bosses."

But what does "kiteable" mean?

I assume that spamming is when someone repeatedly posts the same thread over and over, or threads that have nothing to do with the forum (off-topic, soliciting, etc.). If what I'm doing is spam by Fbmf's standards, I'll stop. However, I don't consider posting very frequently "spam," as lon...

I'm noy talking about you when I say "everybody."

It is a little impatient to expect responses with even the first week of posting new ideas here but it doesn't warrant that kind of precision nerdrage.

Koumei explained it best: we all pretend to be angry, vindictive people (or we're not pretending).

SphereOfFeetMan wrote: Your posts are time-stamped.

Explain to me how less than one day is "like two days ago."

I don't have a good sense of time.

But are you going to answer my question on what you think of my NPCs?

Yeah, I like 3rd edition the most out of all the editions so far.

Don't worry, I'm not having a nerd-rage or anything.

Just wanted to know if anybody was going to respond, as said post was made like two days ago, and some posters here are very active.

If your character did that to people all the time for fun, then it would be evil, but doing to to someone who killed someone he cares about is just a sadistic form of justice. I wanted to pull a Mad Max, a guy who does not strike me as Evil. I think that its fine to treat enemies like shit if they ...

Gee, this is really expensive!

But what do you guys think? The reviews are pretty good, but you guys seem to be the harshest critics for table-top RPGs, and I'd like to hear about any bad things from this product, first.

Er... According to the Tome of Fiends, Efreeti, like all others from the lower planes, cannot be summoned while on the Prime, and apparently, they're usually content to just sit in a lamp of some sort-or somewhere else that's safe-and wait for you to ask for their assistance. Makes the Prime a prim...

Yep, it's been pretty clear that all WotC wants third-party publishers for is adventures and campaign settings. Except that your campaign settings are going to end up either extremely generic (because you can't change the flavor text for elves or dwarves) or really out there (because you make up yo...

Is nobody gonna respond?

You know, as an in-game rule to wipe out "I play Chaotic Neutral!" characters quickly and legally when they decide to pull a double-cross. [Warning! In a bad case of hypocrisy, I make a long post; now, long posts don't annoy me; unwarned long posts do] I hated how in the pathfinder/paizo ...

I love the Tome series; it's a shame that there will be no more additions any time soon.

But when Frank and K could have focused on the three other editions, why did he stick with 3rd edition to write about instead of the others? What did he find appealing?

In Ravenloft the biggest enemies are between 9th and 15th level. If you defeat them, you either become a Dark Lord yourself (and stop playing D&D and start playing SimCity: Evil Edition), or you get to free the area and transplant the entire barony that you were adventuring in to another settin...

FR has plenty of people to oppose anyone else gaining power, Greyhawk has the Circle of Eight and some other big names that would notice up-and-comers and explain the realities of existence to them (keep your head down or go planeswalking) and Dark Sun has game-breaking dragon sorcerers and their p...

From what I've heard so far, I assume that it is far more restrictive.

P.S. Why the change in avatar, Leress? I thought that your Lynx avatar was pretty cool.

Are you kidding me? What about all those mineral deposits in the Plane of Earth? Or how about endless planes full of valuable materials? Well I'm talking plot hooks beyond just a lot of loot. And really I'd hope that 14th level characters have more to be interested in than harvesting mineral deposi...
