The Gaming Den

I liked the first one quite a bit, more than the second one. Don't have much hope for the third.

Man I love that song, but I don't know why every remix of it focuses on the improv/gibberish part. The rest of the song is so much better.

It's from the makers of baconaise, so you know it's... the kind of thing... that it is.

Uggghh what the hell

You mean similarly without recourse or similarly through ass-rape?

I ran into this when I first got into gaming. I got into D&D when 3e was released and I didn't know anyone who played and I filled games by grabbing random people to try it with me. I was pretty excited when I finally met some experienced gamers, including one who was supposedly a good GM, so wh...

Yeah there is, but it's still loaded with dumb restrictions, such as only being able to craft armor/weapons and wondrous items (rings should have been included in that list), and not being able to craft any use items or spell trigger items. Then there's also the fact that each requirement you don't ...

I've never read the books but I plain did not understand what the hell happened in the Goblet of Fire film. I'm not sure I'm surprised it's not coherent in the book either. The attitude people have towards magic items in the setting always struck me as particularly odd. I don't understand why the so...

Pathfinder is a great edition for you then. It has more flavor than Core rules and not understanding anything about the rules means you may not even notice flaws in the rules before someone decides to change games. Er, well random reproach aside, do you actually have a suggestion as to what I can d...

The assumptions in 3.5 is that you get money and magic items from encounters, and that is all fungible towards higher level gear. But, you spend about 10% of your incoming wealth on expendables - healing potions, stays at inns, whatever. And the wealth by level guidelines explicitly tell the DM to ...

Here's a better question: Why are you bothering with Pathfinder? I figured someone would ask. Everyone I know who isn't playing 4th Edition has switched to Pathfinder, and a little bit of laziness in not wanting to have to hunt down a decent bargain on 3.5 books since I don't want to just use the S...

Funny, I just spent like all day reading crap from the Pathfinder board archives of the playtest period, and a lot of it is maddening. Man I missed so much discussion when I stopped gaming for several years, catching up is a headache. Anyway, so magic item availability in metropolises caps out at 16...

Does their playtest material usually change significantly at release?

I would, but I can't say I understood any of it. It's all very heterosexual and as usual I don't know what to do with that stuff because carving out any kind of gender based distinction in romance always seems arbitrary to me. But anyway, in the fourth book humanity gets flung all over the universe,...

Apology accepted. It's hard to phrase that sort of thing right, actually. "Herbert wanted the average reader to see the Baron's family as depraved, so he thought about every trait most people would find undesireable. This being written when it was, the list included homosexuality." I shou...

intended as Jason has gone on record admitting he was aiming for Caster Edition.

Link?

We roll because of the fumble house rule he instituted, it's pretty common to roll on things you can't fail (and I had a +15 to jump) just in case you roll a one. Edit: Although yeah, I'd actually make someone roll for that too. Or, y'know, take 10 instead, but jumping 5 feet is something that's cov...

ME2 sucked. I don't know what the hell happened with the writing in that game. Edit: ME2 also had this very annoying habit where you'd stand at the door to a room knowing mobs will spawn once you step inside. Then you step inside, mobs spawn, and you run back to the doorway so that you could have co...

My current DM is like that, rarely allows take 10, though that's probably because he has his fumble house rules and taking 10 would allow players to bypass the chance at a fumble. Which is exactly why I keep insisting to take 10. I got into an argument over it with another player at the table when I...

Hands are better anyway, you can't make out and do oral at the same time, which is a huge negative.

As an irregular mainly-lurker (and one who sympathizes with Koumei's problems), I really wanted to jump in and second this... I don't. I don't disagree with what you're saying (exposure lessens the anxiety, though that's also contingent on successful interaction) but there are other barriers to int...

Er? What are we implying here?

That's awesome, heh.

I thought I was the only autistic lesbianz on teh internets. Anyway she's undoubtedly got a zillion drooling fans already sending her creepy messages, so chances are you're going to get lost in the pile even if you do get over the low bar of seeming sane in comparison. Your chances are probably rath...

Having lost 40 pounds in the past few months, I can at least attest that it works in the other direction. The hot water handle on my bath gets turned up higher than it used to.

How compatible is this with the rest of 4e ?
