The Gaming Den

Careful, Frank, or Doom will PM you insults that he lacks the testicular fortitude to say in e-public. Wouldn't it be more accurate to say that he will post them in e-public, then edit his post to remove them and then PM them. More accurate to say I gave him the chance to explain his lies. But he a...

Don't worry, Doom, Frank's just being a meanie. I think you look great in your cheerleading outfit. You sure as fuck aren't ever going to be useful to this discussion in any other way, so you might as well stand there and cheer. Rah, rah, he's our man, if he can't do it, just pretend he can! Gooo I...

Game On,

Go back to assraping children, you lying pedophile.

Is that sufficient, moron?

For those of you wondering what the hell that is all about, Doom is an inflation conspiracy theorist. When we engaged him and asked for him to provide data, he went directly to shadowstats. Now that probably doesn't mean anything to the gentle reader, because no sane and respectable person reads sh...

You guys are all idiots. Well said. It's so funny, you can find Frank arguing some months back that the reason there's no inflation is because the banks are holding all the money, and that's why Keynesianism works. These guys use ignorance the way how Russia uses territory...it's just too much for ...

I have a friend that I'm going to steer here for some game design discussion, but I was hoping to give him a "trial by fire", as it were. Which thread do you folks think represents the Den best in all its horrible glory? I was thinking the recent shitgoblin thread for ease of access but I...

Comedy gold!

There's more to turn based strategy than 4x games. You should check out Panzer Leader (or Panzer General if you want to go cheap). You build your own army, your troops gain experience, there's plenty of strategy...and you don't have to peruse a wiki to figure out tiny little minmax optimizations. No...

Pretty sure that would be the consensus.

WFB was the only miniatures system I took seriously (at least until WizKid's Battletech game). I never bought the minis, though, just wrote it all out on slips of paper, to move around the floor.

I've had donkey, and rattlesnake.

Both are pretty forgettable, donkey being a bit like tough beef (though not as gristly as goat), and the rattlesnake is about the same as alligator tail...or does alligator count as exotic?

That's quite a bombshell, Starmaker. Have you have any links for that assertion? The only piece I'm aware of is that Milgram never published a section raising doubts about the numbers on the grounds that some of the participants figured out that the fix was in and the "victim" wasn't real...

Uh, I didn't *have* an argument. I had a question. That's what "?" signifies in human communication, I even preceded it with "question" just to make it clear that it was a question. I know better than to use lots of words in a post here, it's all but impossible for the troll part...

Wow, the reading miscomprehension here is *epic*.

I withdraw my question.

Wow, one simple question provokes such vitriol and pants-wetting rage. You guys really made your point well for this school of thought.

Bravo!

So, not an answer to my question, then, just an acknowledgement that this point of view fails if taken to an infinite timeline, and that if it's never worked in the past, that doesn't preclude that it might in the future at some point.

Fair enough. What is the timeline?

Question: What if "increases net utility" never actually happens? If you have a personal definition of utility such that all changes are zero sum or necessarily negative, then I submit that your definition of utility is shitty and you should change it. While I'm aware that the number of d...

Question:

Yeah, it's a shame many videos are gone, but damn those are hysterical.

Weird. I actually played it; it's so awful that there are many relatively pristine copies around. I think the Video Games Museum at E3 has least 4 on display.

I never understood how Disciples managed sequels...it was terrible initially, and never improved from that low bar.

Indeed, and that was in an era when peer review wasn't such a joke.

Seriously just how many people could claim to have actual experience writing/publishing RPG books in 1978? Seeing as that's a short list, I'd put this guy a few steps ahead of the McDonald's cashiers.

Put in a sold block of iron painted and molded to look exactly like a treasure chest, locked, of course.

Prak, I'd go with Ticket to Ride for the folks...very fun, very simple game, you'll have them playing within minutes of opening the box. One game nobody's mentioned is the Mage Knight board game. It's freakish complex, but really, really, good. Doesn't have all that much to do with Mage Knight, not ...

Something Rotten was the low point of Enemy Within, by a wide, wide, margin. EVERY adventure in that book was PCs meeting uber powerful DMPC, it was pretty annoying. The players pretty much had to bend over and take it in every adventure.
