The Gaming Den

Thanks at all. Looks like I'm going to be a cleric of one of the propose variants

So, after a long hiatus, I have the chance for tabletop again - but it's 5e. I've looked into this thread from time to time, but not really intensively, since I didn't intend to actually play this edition. Now that I will, any tips on character creation? I think I remember that casters are still awe...

I recently was linked to http://www.selfmaderenegade.net/, the webpage of a college dropout who made a business out of coaching people with liberal arts degrees to get out of sucky jobs. The price tag for coaching is hefty for unemployed (~250$/month), but as far as I can tell, the free advice he po...

Thanks for all the valuable tips. Got off my ass, redid my OKCupid profile, registered for a speed-dating event on the 4th of January, wrote down a few things about my flatmate that I don't like, and masturbated furiously

@Orion uh, thanks, I guess? I do most of that stuff already, except furiously masturbating and saving seals, so I guess I'll pick those two up :biggrin: @Maj I'll try that, this sounds like advice that might actually work. @Red Rob I'm feeling like in a RomCom, so that advice is perfect for me :tong...

I feel kind of stupid right now, since the following was kind of predictable: I moved into a shared flat 3 months ago, with a couple and a girl I'm friends with since about one year. I liked the girl before, but didn't feel anymore than friendship - and didn't try anything, since I knew she is in re...

*Sigh* So... Germany and it's free colleges. I know not one bit of the language*. I'm still tempted to go to Germany for a Master's in Journalism (English language programs are findable). I'm also tempted to learn German** to get a Bachelor's in Library Science. Of course, that entails leaving my f...

ly deciding to honor the opinion of the Scottish people? The current conservative UK government is pretty goddamn unpopular in general, and on top of that Scotland leans to the left of Britain on most issues. David Cameron extended the offer a year or two back likely as a sign of goodwill to garner...

Interesting fact, but is the same true for the Ukrainian parliament, which held this vote?

Are there many such converts?

@Kaelik
While it's a very interesting and important topic, I indeed don't want to spend another 3-5 years on university

@Lago
I started reading the glossary, and it contains many terms I wasn't familiar with, thank you.

@Nachtigallerator
I'll add this to my newsfeed, thank you.

Well, I changed my mind, thank you for providing this information. I seem to have fallen prey to confirmation/selection bias - as a German myself, I didn't like how my country is the bad guy here. The narrative that it stepped in as a savior felt a lot better :blush: @Kaelik, Frank, DS: Did you acqu...

@Frank So why finance the spending via deficit and not via more sensible taxation (higher capital gains tax, for example)? @DS Please cut down the vitriol a bit. While I usually don't object to that board culture, I noticed right now that it makes it harder for me to change my mind despite you makin...

@DS I wasn't trying to modest proposal you, I actually happen to think that reducing deficit, in general, is not a bad idea. How and when it is done is another question, but I think it might be a good idea before potential lenders doubt your ability to pay them back. And the measurements, while also...

If a country wants to be able to influence its own economic policy and remain a member of the Euro, austerity seems rational: only by cutting the current, overblown deficits is it possible to gain enough free room to later on take on new credit if needed - while the Euro is a net advantage for most ...

What does QotFU stand for? I checked both urbandictionary and acronyms, and didn't find it.

Thanks for all the input! I can't continue with psionic stuff, since the DM disliked my last stunt enough to politely ask me not to use third party material he doesn't know well and thus has a hard time appropriately reacting to. So Tactician is out. I think I will go with oracle, cleric or pally, s...

Hi! I recently joined a PF game because a good friend GMs it. Do you have any advice on what to play, given the following constraints/goals: - Do not overshadow other players too visibly (Bararian, Rogue, Blaster Wizard), all of them noobs - Do not annoy GM with build that has to much potential (fir...

I played in a GURPS group that lasted for about 10 months (8 or 9 sessions). We only had access to the basic rulebook. I was the only one who cared to learn most rules, we had changing DMs and they mostly just used ability checks for everything. So basically, we used it as rules light to allow for ...

It's more like shit Jesus did. Although it should be mentioned that there is no reason to think Jesus/Jesua existed at all. There are no extrabiblical accounts talking about a super-rabbi whipping up a religious revolution in the area. The factual accounts of Jesus' life from the Bible are also fil...

@Frank Could you point me to some publication supporting your statements, please? I'm from Germany, and like to think that our media is rather free (see Press Freedom Index ), yet I have never heard much about our own involvement in this crisis except the official stuff (Steinmeier trying to negotia...

Thank you

I haven't really followed the playtest, and admit to laziness - this thread has grown quite long and I don't want to trudge through it to find the relevant information. So, what is the current status of the edition? I mean, the playtest has been going on for quite some time, when do they plan to rel...

The pre-written ones were awful, but the book also included an option menu that allowed you to build your own WoL. If you did that, you could get pretty decent weaponry out of the deal. Especially if your DM allowed you to use a sacrifice table that wasn't too bad for you. The book recommends using ...
