You know what, guys? If Frank or K get the money, I am willing to pay up to $1500 dollars to make sure that TNE gets good graphics. I am dead fucking serious about this. My two caveats are A) the artwork has to be as sexy as possible. That means Chainmail Bikinis, Breast Plates, and those stupid but...

The real irony of the 'shopkeep for 20 years' problem.
You know the biggest shitload of fuck about this supposed 'problem'? Is that it wouldn't even be a problem if you nudged up everyone's levels, too. It would just end up being a really boring and shitty backstory that wouldn't even be worthy of a montage. But it wouldn't break the game. I'm dead fuck...

The problem with skills in 3.5E was that you constantly had to sink points into them, or they would fall off of the RNG really quickly. I really think the rank system just requires too much attention. The skill system should be more like Shadowrun's, IMO, where missing out on one or two dice won't l...

Idea for simplifying 4E: Don't roll a d20. Like, ever. Flip a coin. Heads is the result good for you. Thoughts? It seemed to be the goal. Rolling 1-10 as tails and 11-20 as heads is identical. The whole basis of a d20 system is that the expected average and median is 10 or near there, making the wh...

And if you don't like THAT, there's always the Exalted approach. If you want something done that's out of your power level, you need to find an appropriate number of elemental spirits / demons / gods (gods aren't anywhere near as powerful in combat in this game as in other fiction) and beat the crap...

The whole idea of cosmic horrors is retarded.
So anyway. You've got this all-encompassing mass of destruction and insanity that can never be reckoned, resides at the center of the universe, and can destroy universes at a thought. Gee, this sounds a lot like giving the DBZ logic to your villains/horror story. After all, MORE SIZE AND POWER EQUAL...

I think RC is referring to filling out a spellcasting mook's list full of sweet spells. I think there could be a use for a 'mook spellcaster' table in the back of a monster manual in which you cross-referenced theme against level--therefore you could save time in later levels by QuikReferencing(tm) ...

I haven't been able to even bring myself to read 2nd edition Exalted because the giant flaming piece of bullshit creationist propaganda they have on it makes me want to set it on fire before I get to the first camel toe picture. You should've held out a little bit longer, Frank. You get to see a ho...

Honestly I found what you typed to be one of the msot retarded things I've read. You were talking about roleplaying as though it was about taking the leadership feat instead of actually playing out your character and talking to NPCs. You want rules that exist solely so that you don't have to rolepl...

Honestly I don't know why we can't have diplomancers do cool things. There are plenty of fantasy examples, like the tailor who dupes the emperor into parading around naked in the Emperor's New Clothes. Or Odysseus, who managed to screw over the cyclops by telling him that his name was No One. I und...

And yes, the Nazgul definitely deserve the titles of morons. They got fooled by a halfling hiding less than 2 feet away from them behind a tree root after falling for the old 'pillows underneath the bed trick', which is so stupid that they make fun of this hoary gag on Sesame Street. Worst. Filler V...

It's poor RPG design. If you created 12 classes, and only four of them are playable, then either you have to jack up the other 8, or nerf the 4. Around here, people jacked up the 8. And honestly, some people want to play fighters. The idea of swinging a sword and chopping things into little bits is...

Some big and scary guy on a flying lizard got killed by two dumbass muggles: a woman who never before fought in a battle and a midget. Whoo!

Crap. That sort of thing exists in warrior myths from all over the world. Is Cu Chullain's ability to throw a spear through ten men an anime stunt, too? Yes, actually. Along with being able to jump 20 feet into the air or survive a dragon landing on you. I don't have a problem with it at all. I thi...

I still call bullshit. Frodo destroying the Ring? Plot contrivance. Luke shooting down the Death Star? Plot contrivance. Superman defeating Doomsday? Plot contrivance. Hercules defeating the hydra? Plot contrivance. Frodo destroying the Ring was a plot contrivance, not because of the method of dest...
