The Gaming Den

I knew the storms where brewing for the most epic clash of rpg nerds ever. I mean, look. There are the AD&D fans. And they are hardcore. Like, Old Testament hardcore. I mean, their game hates them, AND THEY LOVE IT! You can't go more hardcore than that. Then there are the 3E fans. They are the W...

An open, Paizo-like playtest, where the fans of all the editions are invited? I should grab some popcorns, this seems like it should be fun.

Someone should light the Shad-signal and Roy-signal and the 2012. will be an entertaining year indeed.

Shadzar pwns you all with the power of LOGIC!

...Or something similar.

Between a lot and not at all.

First of all, I found it funny that you thought I was still butthurt about a thing me and that DM had already settled peacefully earlier. Honestly, I think you are butthurt since you came here, didn't get an immediate response you wanted, and immediately went like "you're all stupid" and ...

First, there's no collective hive mind here that determines some Unified RPG policy of the Den. Now... You can act like a little hurt pussy princess all you want, but the fact remains that GM is also one of the players playing the game, and is also a member of a group of people that sits down to pla...

Maybe they just think your stuff is lame and shit?

Sounds more than a thousand to me!

Personally, until I get a clarification of "year zero exists" comment, this thread shall not fulfill its purpose. As for the rest, I find it difficult to pinpoint "when did it all go wrong". Mainly because 2e was the first RPG I played as a kid, so I look at it through nostalgia-...

I made it work. I am far more surperior to you.

Then we moved off gold, but the entire world stuck to the standard of the United States Dollar, because it was stable and powerful and we were the only ones who could guarantee our dollar was worth shit from year to year Facts disagree What the fuck? The Bancor never happened. Almaz is talking abou...

Facts disagree

"net acquaintance of mine, who I assume is a girl because she refuses to be wrong about anything" By this logic, this board is nothing but women, and in fact the legendary rules of the internet should read "There are no boys on the internet." I always did feel you all were a bun...

Fuel prices going up cause all prices to go up since everything is put on a truck or boat to be shipped. Enemy action to shatter power supplies and roads can lead to food riots as foodstuffs rot in the warehouses, further driving up prices. Oh, sure, that's a given, but food needs to get a special ...

Concerning the economy: 1. You should definately go with the energy crisis. Sudden economic expansion brought by new technologies caused expenditure of fossil fuels; renewable energy sources are limited and usage of biofuel to sustain economic growth caused food prices to go up. 2. The first sign of...

I go along the lines of: Law: You believe that rules of the society should be more important than the will of the individual. Chaos: The opposite. Good & Evil: represent mindset, rather than actions. Its perfectly normal to be Evil without acting upon such ideas. Being Evil is not an admission o...

I admire the man who managed to scam RPG fans for money.

Actually, I just read Asshole Leper Hero: Volume 9 a couple weeks ago. It's pretty awesome. Of course it is. It has Haruchai logic, it has Asshole Leper Hero show up and start solving problems one by one, hell, it even has him saying "there are more important things than saving the world"...

Well then, time to read it, and see what fantasy really should be about!

The point of Thomas Covenant, apparently

Strung Nether wrote: Exactly my point. They NEED magic...probably past level 5. How do we fix this? give everyone magic? just give them feats like "you can now jump 60 feet in any direction as a move action(acts as teleport)", or what?

You make magic shitty and weak, the way its supposed to be.

Personally, Zing, my gut instinct tells me you're mistaken. - I don't recall the timeline exactly, but I think computer RPGs did not damage the tabletop RPG industry - if nothing, they strengthened it. I think it went a long period of nothing (time of TSRs AD&D), then came Diablo, then Baldur's ...

For some time already I've been thinking that the problem with RPGs in general is that they are just too huge. Scratch that, I know that's the problem. Ever since I've bought some funny Victorian RPG few months ago and still haven't read it. Heck, I'm GMing nWoD Mage right now, and I still think the...
