The Gaming Den

Wouldn't trust all but one, my second DM knew his shit very well and was quite creative. The only problem was he staunchly believed that the Core was completely balanced among itself. I'm talking like the PHBII Knight was too much high power for him. This was probably for the best, as we all were do...

I saw a neat solution for tumble. Instead of a DC of 15, make it an opposed roll using the enemies attack bonus vs. a tumble check. My DM did this too. There's also the 4e combine and consolidate method for skills. On the very far end of the spectrum, a set of tags or aspects like "is good at ...

What is the status on classes that have been posted already in My Own Invention? Are we going to decide on one, cannibalize them, or just start from scratch?

And I really hope someone plays a Sohei with a scythe, and shouts "GURAIVE DIGGAH!" when using Tension attacks.

What about a duo of Soheis, one with a Flaming Burst sword and one with a Thundering Shocking Burst Rapier, and both with a lot of unresolved sexual tension.

To state the obvious: how about granting a Persistent effect for the divination spells for the 9th level ability virgileso?

Silly Koumei, sage does nothing. And the correct term is "newfag" JE.

On topic, should I bother to flesh this concept out or just make 4chan jokes and misleading topics?

Sounds a whole lot like Feng Shui to me. The game comes with templates for most of your party members already. gunslinger= Ex-Special Forces/Maverick Cop grappler = big bruiser professional = killer fencer = martial artist with sig weapon sword it's not quite so clean on the tech side, due to feng ...

But aren't we finishing the unmade Tomes Tavish? Why would we change the nomenclature?

It's the highest rated sup/tg/ thread ever I think. I agree with some of the Anons who said they should novelize that story.

Were we going to combine spell lists for the divine and arcane spellcasters somewhere down the line? I'm not sure what you could mean by this. There isn't an "Arcane Caster Spell List" or "Divine Caster Spell List" - there's a "Wizard/Sorceror List" and a "Cleric ...

Law and Chaos only work as goals for beings made purely of those alignments, the absolutes of that sphere. It's just not going to work for rational beings of any stripe. It is perfectly within the nature of a pure being of Chaos to Giant Frog, because it's very existence is Giant Frog, and anything ...

Sexy Violence [/size] I've been trying to get into Exalted and have always had a thing for good clean crazy stylish action. Exalted is well, Exalted and there's got to be a better style for the John Woo meets Stephen Chow meets Robert Rodriguez game style. Name The PCs [/size] I'm thinking "Th...

What MartinHarper said.

Were we going to combine spell lists for the divine and arcane spellcasters somewhere down the line? I can try working on making Evocation less suck, because I like cool abilities with my blastan games.

I've always tried to be the best I can for the party. I slip into whatever role needs filling and try to do it well. Since I can come up with fluff and character motivation at the drop of a hat, I try to find the mechanically strongest setup to shore up my concept. If the session has a memorable bit...

I'm new to the whole homebrew scene but I would love to help.

Wasn't Book of Gears the closest thing to being done?

I actually DM'ed a game of FATAL. It was a joke one-shot for /tg/, and I was kinda drunk. I normally have little trouble grokking complex game systems but my brain just kept shutting down every time I got more than three pages in. We ended up hacking it into a d20 system and going nuts. I distinctly...

Please define Lawful and Chaotic in such a manner as a Lawful person would be compelled to stab a Chaotic person in the face over the distinction and also that neither Lawful nor Chaotic meant "ineffective." Lawful = Conservative and Chaotic = Liberal. Which makes Neutral... I don't know,...

I like the roll and keep idea in Weapons of the Gods, as well as the Shades/Plus and Minus system that the FATE system uses.

We could do the LiveJournal summations in a sort of "Real World: 4e" sort of way, where the players out of character talk about what's going on in the world and how much they hate it

Also, PM sent.

RPoL's where they're running the Dungeon Crusade game right? That would be cool for me.

Then you run into the problem that the necromancer ends up a) shite without the skeleton because that makes him level-appropriate or
b) The necromancer has better things to do with his actions and rarely if ever uses the thing.

I like this idea for the charge up time facet, but not as much for the cinematization of combats. Instead of having the die determine what attack you get via WoF, why not have the effect be determined by the roll? Your attack patterns are open from the get-go, but the overall success/failure is dete...

I'd be down for some satire, and the masochist in me wants to play 4E so sign me up.

The subverting a person who likes 4E's game seems like the better idea, but that could end badly.

Hey, here's something to make you laugh and/or cry: Michael Jackson died today

He's the third one this week, Farrah Fawcet and Ed McMahon preceded him.
