The Gaming Den

Couple questions about the Visualization skill: what is the range on activating the wand remotely? Doing the TN 4 option of the skill lets you cause wand effects to emanate from somewhere other than the wand; what kinds of restrictions are there on this? Can you cause beams to shoot out of the enemy...

Does the damage received from the Unshielded modification round up, round down, or have a minimum of 1?

With character creation, most saliently at Step 1, can you add all of your numbers from the two chosen backgrounds before selecting any certs granted by those same backgrounds (particularly matters for prereqs)?

It's on like page three, here's a relink

What are the kinds of robots in the Federation?

Kinda awkward to ask, but is it alright if I compile and do layout of Space Madness into a physical book? The intent is purely for personal use with myself and my friends. Related note: what are your opinions of other people (who don't have any awareness of the Den) seeing your work, even if it's ju...

The Duelist equipment package gives an external power supply for 3 CLP and a second Mark IV for 4. The equipment cost lists the external as 4, and I'm not 100% certain how a Sweet Ermengerde can be that cheap?

The biggest issue with en media res advancement is gaming culture. Character concepts are usually made from the start, and rarely organically change in response to events of the campaign. There's a real a present demographic of people making their level 1 character a "veteran adventurer", ...

I feel like the DMG could be made worth something by having adventure design material in it. Basically detail out structural guidelines for the various types of adventures - sandbox, one-shot, story arc, etc.

Power Points only have advantages over slots if they provide some additional functionality. If they are limited over the same period and you spend them on the same things, power points are just a math problem to figure out how many slots you have. To the extent that they are different at all, it's ...

I kinda feel bad. I never intended this to be so spirit breaking for you when I made the reviews of your year-blog. If there were anything I could do/offer to help/repay, I'd be willing to try.

Responsive: As a swift action, you gain an additional immediate action until the start of your next round.

I know this is old, but I was curious as to whether notes or other rough guidelines were mentioned for how this would work?

But because this is a table-top roleplaying game, GENERALLY, you want to support player choices. Assume a game with five players, each from one of the five clans you've decided on. Assume that in designing the world, you remove one clan completely from each of the five cities you create on your fir...

Why do you have to have everything represented in every particular region?

So I got rear-ended on the highway last week in a hit-and-run. They totaled my car, and I only have 4 months left to pay off the car. Haven't fully looked yet, but I'm suspecting I'm just going to try to get another Prius. The fact that a car would need to be like $5k cheaper at minimum to offset th...

From what I can tell, Tombs are where the dead rest, and rising from the grave is the opposite of restful. The ones that were already up get to stay, and 'naturally formed' Tombs are generated by extent undead who functionally have squatter's rights.

Huh, I was not expecting Pathfinder to double the power of dread wraiths. Perhaps have the curse turn them into regular wraiths, or even simple dread wraiths (CR 7)? As for the variable HP thing, I kinda figured it would work like a less effective version of spawning, and there's no expectation that...

I'm intending this to be a CR 10, but I don't know if I got the numbers right for that. In addition, I'm not sold on the name, but I'm having difficulty coming up with a good one.

What would plague metaphor vampires in the modern context be repulsed by?

I've got a spellcasting BBEG planned (level 14 vs level 12 party), who has access to planar binding spells. Technically, the BBEG can get a genie fairly easily and do stuff like trap the soul in preparation for the players' arrival, which is a spell higher than he himself can cast. I don't feel comf...

Man, I would love to make $72k. My wife & I jointly make about $40k (after taxes). Hell, if my engineering position started my pay at $50k instead of $35k, I would've been completely debt-free a year ago (instead of just as much in debt as when I started)...

Another point against vampires killing people - unless they go at the same person repeatedly over several nights, it would be impressive to see a vampire chug a two-litre soda bottle of blood in order to kill a single human. if your vampire’s killing folks, it’s because they left a couple of great b...
