The Gaming Den

Thanks Frank. Memphis is a no-go zone for every kind of roleplaying. This is literally a one in a million chance. Thank you.

So there is a member of the Dumpshock Forums (Hipgnosis) who is starting an SR4 game in Memphis, TN. So I'm all like "Holy Shit! This isn't possible! Memphis is the bermuda triangle of gaming, and a fucking hole to boot. I gotta get in this game!" so I read his post in the GM/Players Regis...

I have it on the highest authority that your friend is dumb and that s/he smells funny .

GODDAMNIT! Don't you just hate it when you ask to be included in the wrong thread? Lets try this again. For consideration and inclusion in the 0.7 edition.

This monster was based on the Air Elemental, and I did not think that any 9th level spell effect was fair on a CR 10 opponent (Despite what the DMG says about reseting traps. Seriously! Summon Elemental Monolith every 1d4 rounds! CR 9!?).

He's a colossal asshole if he's using the angelic wank-squad. And from that I get this: ASSHOLE An Asshole an incarnation of the universe’s desire to shit on you. Asshole, Colossal Colossal Outsider (Evil, Extraplanar) Hit Dice: 10d8+80 (128 hp) Initiative&am...

Just be careful of naming your man "Suu"; seemed to work in the song though.

Also, another question: how come when Padme died of a broken heart when Anakin turned on the jedi but not when he killed a bunch of Sand People? Padme didn't die of a broken heart because Anakin murdered children while betraying his Order and the Republic, but because he force-choked the shit out o...

I would not wish any man's name be associated with that book. I believe that if Gygax stole it from Arneson, and he did, Arneson was blessed by fate to not have his name be on that book, such is the utter FAIL of 1e.

2e is an improvement over 1e; not a vast improvement, but an improvement none the less. Whenever I Death-Punch myself in the testicles over how bad the "bad old days" of 2e sucked, every kitten currently being hugged by a little girl explodes in her loving arms.

What details? The entire 1e DMG is a nuthing but a 300 page skullfuck of epic fail and tears. Everything, and I mean everything [/u] is without merit and isn't worth the time to tear out its pages to wipe my ass . Good thing to 'cuz the utter fail that is scratched out on its pages would probably gi...

Oh... you think that's bad, read the core First Edition D+D: first the Player's Handbook, then the Dungeonmaster's Guide. I swear on a stack of Bibles, the Holy Grail, and my Savior's Cross that I damn near flew into such a righteous fury that I death-punched myself in the testicles so hard core tha...

Why is animal growth on his spell list if he has neither an animal companion nor summonable animals?

Bear Skill: Intimidate (rawr!)

Bull Skill: Ride (As in: the bull? Get it? GET IT?!)

I believe in "no spell levels", and it can work absurdly well, if the system is purpously designed with that feature.

Somebody edit this into Tic's post, it should fix the thread: [quote]Cloud of Daggers is an AoE. And noone knows how big that AoE is because it's written incorrectly and hasn't ever been errataed. But whatever.[/quote]My bad again. It's late, my head's not functioning...

I think your monitor is upside-down.

14+ on a d20 is a little less than 40% likely.

14+ on 3d6 is a little less than 20% likely.

Remember that a 1 on the graph's verticle axis means that it has a 1 out of 1 chance of happening.

Thanks to everyone for the feedback. I really appreciate it. Some notes: Counters to the Spell Breaker: 1: Long range casting is long range . Seriously, outside of medium range he can't use his reflexive counterspell. Buff and cast with impunity. Hell, just breaking line of effect allows you to buff...

I'm suprised that nobody caught the Copy/Paste error in all the Master of the ______ Veil abilities. The errors have been fixed.

Thanks for catching that Frank.

The capstone ability Trancendence seem a little Ho-Hum. Its not like anyone is gonna play a 20th level character for long. So for all the flack you're gonna get for playing a Rainbow Bright reject, all you get is crappy elemental resistances, and immunity to critical hits and stunning when energy im...

...why you would ever prefer longsword over spear or vice-versa. Spears have long reach, can be thrown, stop charging horses, and pierce chain armor, but can't hit adajacent opponents. Flails can trip and disarm better thatn any other weapon, are used by clergy, and basically ignore chain armor or ...

Having a human-centric campaign (with beasts, elementals, angles, and demons) is quite do-able. It leaves all the classic adventure avenues open Doppleganger: A cleric of trickery/illusionist wizard/rogue with "max disguise" sneakes into the homes and murders whole families, just because h...
