The Gaming Den

Low-priced ebooks are definitely the way to go : http://news.slashdot.org/story/11/03/09/0618234/Crime-Writer-Makes-a-Killing-With-99-Cent-E-Books Basically you have a very low treshold for rentability and you price your stuff at a rate that encourages spontaneous purchases. It's a much more promisi...

Easier to sell this way, but you can find bulbs or vials of the stuff, which they would then use to soak the stamps.

I tried searching but couldn't come up with any result, and I didn't want to start a new thread just for this so I'm posting this here : I remember reading here about some guy who wrote a program to optimize unit lists for some wargaming tournament. It was all about how the lists, while valid, were ...

From what I understand the big difference between Canadian multiculturalism and most everyone else's is whom we allow to immigrate. To come to Canada you need to have marketable skills, the side effect of that is that our immigrates are probably on average better educated, and since they have skill...

Congratulations, you've just described Canada's version of multiculturalism . Yes, Canadian multiculturalism is not the same as that in Europe, with the possible exception of those annoying ones in Quebec. There are generally not cultural ghettos in Canada with populations that are totally in oppos...

While thinking about ways to improve player involvement in the game, I had the idea to try and run a game where the PCs would be modeled after the player. This looks like it could start soon, and I will report the progress here, as I think it might be interesting. Rules are based on SR4, obviously a...

Um guys... Vigilantee is the guy arguing that PL is full of shit for calling racist on everything. Hence, he probably meant it ironically. Hence why it doesn't make sense seriously, and hence why tzor's image macro is not of any value in response to Vigilantee. I may be wrong, I didn't actually rea...

Hello fine folks, My girlfriend has quite the collection of 'alternative' comic books, by which I mean not superhero comics, things like Jhonen Vasquez and Roman Dirge. She's looking to unload a few of them, but she has no idea how much they are worth, and the only thing I know about comic books is ...

That's what a racist would say.

Also, a lot of people equate using fancy words or knowing lots of useless trivia bits with intelligence.

"Multiculturalism" in the European context is the notion of a culture comming into another culture without even attempting to blend in with the society they are moving into. No. It isn't. That's just an ignorant racist lie on your part. I mean, I'd refute it more thoroughly except that yo...

Did anyone else think that Kreia's beggar-moralizing twist in KotoR2 was really, really stupid? No, I take that back. It wasn't stupid, but the fact that you couldn't do anything about it other than just stare gormlessly like she made an unassailable point and that's all that comes of it pissed me ...

On the other hand, civil disobedience is a time honored form of protest. What the fuck are you smoking ? Why would the government have to build them a mosque ? He's not saying they won't allow it, they won't pay for it. How would you feel if your government paid for an evangelical church in your ne...

And a few more non-hat, non-knife examples: Also: Orthodox Christians refusing to apply for/receive any documents (ID, birth ID, tax ID, SSN, medical insurance, registering their kids in any way at all - homeschooling and faith healing ftw), because one assigned to them can contain "666" ...

So knives are the same thing as hats, I must be better armed than I thought. Are guns the same thing as pants? I see you are legally retarded. Let me give you a few hats example, friendo : - Niqab / burqa wearing muslims refusing to show their faces for their national health insurance card's photo....

What if that silly hat covers your entire face and head so that noone can tell who you are? Is it okay? Is it okay to wear face covering ski masks all the time? Into stores? Into banks? First of all your argument and example is STUPID. Second of all no problem multiculturalism is NOT and NEVER HAS ...

When we use the SR-inspired medieval system, it's not that different... for example we once fought some kind of fallen/doomed paladin (and fled after losing), which was basically a very strong fighter with a spur of the moment special attack (don't remember what it was exactly) and regeneration. It...

I've reached the point where I now have zero tolerance for games where it feels like the GM is making shit up as he goes along. I've found that there's a high correlation between "I'm just winging the story" and "I'm just winging the rules, too". Just so we're clear, that's 100%...

As a player, how much of your freedom and choice are you willing to sacrifice for the sake of the GM's story ? Inversely, how much of the GM's story are you willing to lose in favor of the player's ability to influence the world ? Obviously, as a GM you have a story to tell, which involves some even...

*sigh* Dead@17, and by extension, Viper Comics, the publisher. What fucking theological side do they fall on? Dead@17 features a scant-clad 17 year old returned from the grave hacking up demons with abandon while displaying a stylized version of a symbol supposedly designed by Anton LaVey. Viper Co...

I didn't admit to anything, you're just reading selectively, which seems to be your defining attribute around these parts. You simply lack the ability to understand what you do not want to understand in the first place. Oh, I read selectively? How ironic, given that your sig is just a bunch of segm...

Apparently you can get away with putting words in people's mouth, I don't see why I couldn't. No I didn't. So let's stop pretending that this is anything other than you wanting to be an ass. Edit: Anyway, reported. And if it's apparently cool to use sigs this way, then sure. I'll use sigs that are ...
