The Gaming Den

Wow, it's someone telling poor people that they choose to be poor and that they could make simple, obvious changes that only someone on the internet that has never met us could point out. That never happens! Yeah, I kind of figured he was a fucktard whenever he came on like Glenn Beck spouting off ...

If she's dating you, the "alpha male" qualities can't have been THAT big of an issue! What prompted this sudden request from your girlfriend, I wonder?

Definitely reconsider the notion of 'retirement'; my father never did, at least in a real sense...and I certainly don't plan to. Why would you want to do that? Most Americans are working like dogs at jobs that they loathe for wages that haven't risen since the 1980s. The middle class is fast becomi...

The stock market is a means for rich people to take money away from poor people, nothing more. So what can the non-rich do to actually have some money saved up whenever they retire? Is throwing your money into a 401k just as good as throwing it into a hole? Or is retiring even an option in American...

Squats *did* exist. Originally they were a sub-army of the Empire I believe, then spun off into their own army, then support was dropped and GW said they were eaten by the 'nids. Their remains were annexed by the Imperium. But basically they're humans who grew up in high enough gravity environments...

Fuck Homeowners Associations. But hey, maybe this will cheer you up.

in oWoD telling if someone is a Diablerist requires someone with the right power. Unfortunately, over half the clans have said power. It's pretty trivial to tell if you're a Diablerist. This makes you punishable by death, unless you have a lot of political clout. That pretty much sums up the situat...

No, it's because you are going to be committing Diablerie maybe 5-6 times EVER. Feeding off humans means killing 5-6 people a year accidentally, and chances are good you are not going to get enough XP to counteract that. I've only been able to commit Diablerie an average of one time per oWoD campai...

Personally I'm really curious what Pathfinder 2ed will look like, because you know that it will come eventually. The flame wars that will result will be epic :biggrin: Nah. They killed off all interest in Paizo as the inheritors of DnD's legacy. The people who bought it just to give it a chance won...

What have I been watching? The Boondocks, Reno 911, MST3K, Freaked, Doraleous & Associates, and pretty much all of the videos on The Escapist.

There are also clubs full of attractive young people who totally get off on having their blood drank, hobos who no one, other than maybe ratkin and bone gnawers, gives a shit about, criminals, that are somewhat expected to get in fights or killed, whether on the streets or in prison, and entire hid...

Been watching a lot of Fox News lately, eh?

I played 4E once. And if I could take that experience, put it in a bottle, and sell it to people, insomnia would be wiped off the face of the earth, and I would be a very wealthy man indeed.

Works great with birds. Not bad at lower levels.

Call it a character's Nature? I'm still good with Investigator.

Keith Baker (the creator of Eberron) now has an bi-monthly article at The Escapist... and the first one talks about good old Draci Doupe. Best part? They are apparently releasing Draci Doupe 2 in Eastern Europe in 2011!

Stone Tell. 10 minutes to cast. But more importantly: what the hell is a stone going to tell you? What senses do they have? How intelligent are they? What language do stones and rocks speak? I mean, yes, I'm assuming Terran for the last one, but the rest of the spell's effects are firmly planted in ...

Because people are willing to defend pedophilia and bestiality so they can win an argument on the internet. The internet is serious business, after all.

Penny Arcade seems to be against dog fucking... this year.... maybe.

Ban enhancement bonuses from magic items.

None. At all. Magic items are about properties and powers.

I concur 100% with this. I am so fucking tired of Christmas Trees in D&D.

K wrote:The firearms rules are a joke. With short-ranged shots being ranged touch attacks, they make all other forms of attacking meaningless.

I totally missed that part, and I'm really looking forward to seeing people cheese out that shit.

Two quick questions about the Hero System for you veterans out there: 1) How do you build powers in Hero that allow for re-rolls (like Slippery Mind)? Are they particularly relevant, given the fact that you're using a 3D6 instead of a D20? 2) What's the best way to build divination spells like Commu...

God damn it, Den. Really?

Yes, really.

Choke on your laughter and/or bile.

Guns with no range, prone to explosion, and a bunch of stupid fucking Grit rules? What's not to like?

TOZ wrote:Can we get back to talking about how Paizo is making firearms rules worse?

Oh god. What are they doing now?
