The Gaming Den

You know...this reminded me of a funny scenario with the biggest dickcheese of a DM that I had ever met. He seemed fine at first (because it was my first time ever as a D&D player) despite not telling what we can and what we CANNOT be in the game. Then later on, I began to work on my homebrews a...

...okay, either I am too tired to think straight or then I just saw an insider-joke being made, because I have no idea what Almaz is talking about. Not that I mind a clarification while I think whether I play an Empusa or an Alraune when I do get to trying out a Disgaea D&D setting.

It does seem rather tasteless to hear people talking about "landscape", since I never had that kind of attitude towards my female friends at the D&D table. And no, I am not gay either before anyone descends to that level of trolling. Adding to that, I have nothing against homosexuals e...

Now I wonder why sexual minorities were even brought up, seeing that Plebian made a good point on why nobody really bothers to talk about them either (the part about it not being our business, that is). Anyway, Maj's post and the slightly clarified version of Midnight v seem like the ones that make ...

Pokevolved is more common around here. =P

I forgot about that, but I guess I could use that from now on. Thanks for the heads up.

The Fighters never seem to catch a break, huh? First they're denied of all the fun stuff, and now people want them gone for good. But really? Magitech Knights sound like they wouldn't fit into all campaign settings, and Ascendant Celestials sound like a Digivolved (yes, I actually use this retarded ...

I've never played as a Wizard either, but I doubt that really matters on the whole. This was about co-operation, not of the classic Fighter vs. Wizard debate, though it kinda links to this all in one aspect.

And that reminded me...don't area of effects work all the same even in tight spaces?

Funny how I fail to describe my GURPS experiences in words the same way I would describe my D&D ones. It's just...I have only played D&D and GURPS so far, and the latter has been so different from the former (mostly in the good way) that I cannot even say much. All I can say is that I will N...

That sounds pretty sad, even by 4e standards. With all of that said...anyone have any actual statistics to show how badly WotC are at a loss from trying to sell 4th edition stuff? Because that's what counts, if you ask me. We can whine about it all we want, but how much they sell is actually the thi...

Do you think any DM would have the patience to do ALL OF THAT?

I usually cheat only when the game is turning too easy or too hard for the players. I was dumb enough to try out Pathfail once (Kingmaker) and let the players make uber-strong items for themselves, making every encounter they faced a cakewalk. Then I decided to just amp up the damage of every troll ...

Seriously? Anti-magic field as a method to nerf casters? How often did they plan to use that in the actual game (assuming someone did actually try that in their campaign)? Because I can imagine a lot of trouble brewing from that kind of tactic if the DM isn't careful.

Read the tomes? Will do so when I got time.

But now that this is out of the way, we could stay back on topic. I looked at the stuff on the first pages...and now I am really tempted to try out some silly combinations...

Why do I feel like this whole class balance issue has been spawned from someone experiences in a party where every Wizard and Cleric (or just to make this simple, EVERY DAMN CASTER) wasted time obliterating the enemies instead of bothering to heal, buff or shield the melee classes. If you ask me, it...

*Peeks his head in from hiding* Hi, I'm new here, but that doesn't mean I haven't lurked my fair share of time in forums and such. And I have to say, as a Disgaea fan (and as someone who isn't deathly afraid of homebrews like some dickcheese DMs I know) I find this thread to be epic. Also, any info ...
