The Gaming Den

Bah, sniped!

Attending the memorial service seems like a good opportunity to schmooze. We might find an ally, or at least learn something about local politics.

Spellcraft seems like it might get us out of a sticky situation.

It's possible he's misguided. It's possible he's being manipulated. He definitely used us as a dagger to assassinate his rival. I feel like we just don't have enough information to start handing out death sentences. I also don't think we have any leverage over him to win an argument. Play along for ...

We clearly bought into this at one point, but all that spiel about righteous war? That's fishy as hell.

My favorite was a fan theory from the Dwarf Fortress community. Their dorfs had a long, intricate courtship ritual, the primary purpose to tactfully determine your prospective spouse's gender. Because dorfs reproduce via spores, so simply getting handsy was taboo.

Lost memory

If we're voting between karma and rage, I'm voting for karma. Stabbing things doesn't seem to be how we solve problems. Despite that, I'm voting for strength over dexterity, because ending what combat we DO get stuck with in the first roll seems like the best plan for survival. The best defense is a...

Agreed

We've already impressed him, and then got cutscene stomped. We're not going to beat him for realsies.

My first thought was whoever wrote that bit just misread the spell so hard, they thought it had a five minute duration instead of limit.

That guy's wearing plate. We're unarmored, armed with a "knife", and haven't eaten in two days.

Stand down.

Don't waste your brainpower, Omegon. PL will never accept any answer to any TTRPG question that isn't "punt the whole idea and play Mouse Trap instead."

the list of modern action films that are essentially variations on Die Hard is functionally limitless I kinda miss the flurry of obvious knock offs in the 90s. Then some hack had to go and pitch his shitty script as "Die Hard in an office building" and make everybody all self-conscious ab...

Yeah, you need a pretty solid base in arithmetic before the basics of algebra even mean anything, let alone make sense.

Firefly They said the thing. Now we must go absolutely batshit insane over the thing. Dune miniseries There've been a few of those. The one I saw was really good. Dune lends itself well to the format, I suppose. You want just enough time to do some world building and let the characters become peopl...

That's pretty much how CYOA books always end. They've got a dozen endings to write, so even the "You Win" ending is a single page. That said, I am curious how many opportunities we had to Refuse the Call and doom the planet. I'm always impressed when a CYOA actually lets you say "fuck...

I've always said go big or go home, and today is no exception. One vote for Tower of Will.

Go bash the bots.

These dupes are just gonna march through all that underbrush? They won't even reach the tree before we slaughter the smart ones. Go find the second column.

Again there are settings where fighting dudes, warriors, straight up have superpowers and no one gives a shit about whether it breaks the setting. It is not at all realistic for Batman to go on most of the adventures superman goes on but people don't really care because traditionally it's been like...

In Battletech, long range attacks have two powerful counters: - They're much heavier, you can load anywhere from three to eight short range weapons in the same tonnage. - Trying to be a mongol horse archer is suicide. Turning costs movement, moving backwards costs double, and using jump jets gives a...

You can't fight fate, and we saw ourselves riding the dragon into battle. It's dragoon time!

Hooray!

It's a great cause, and I'll definitely be chipping in, but it's all download passes? I'm desperately short on disk space and can't afford to pick up a spare drive right now. Does anybody know how long the download pass lasts? I can chuck the ones I want on a dozen Google Drive accounts or something...

Snooping on their plans might reveal a good way to attack. Go for it.
