The Gaming Den

And I hadn't even heard that the Savage Worlds ED had become a real thing. When I was researching, it sounded like it was in the works, but I hadn't encountered any final product. And now, I even learn that there's a Pathfinder conversion?! Sheesh, edition mayhem. Both conversion suck. They had bee...

So I know there is a runner called Bull in Shadowrun, and a mod/dev/poster/etc. called Bull in the SR forums, and apparently the latter is a jerk, or something. The poster is an overweight jerk who gets off on seeing his charcater make it into canon. He's also the idiot who's responsibke for all wr...

An hp like system where your stealth rating goes down as people make passive perception attacks on you is what will work. It means you want to move by opponents quickly before their notice attacks add up. Higher level characters will have higher perceptions and will naturally do much more damage pe...

What would be an solid alternative, then? New stealth rule: the "stealth" tag. A character gains the "stealth" tag in various ways, such as using the "sneak" skill. In order to spot a "stealth" character or monster, you must make a Will save with DC = 10 + Le...

What would be an solid alternative, then?

Mat Forbeck's career really took after since 2002, at least according to his website.

Oh, tell us more.

SR megacorps do have internal conflict as well as external ones, so where's the difference?

How's L5R 4th edition core rulebook compared with this one?

Wait for Eclipse FATE then.

You don't have to.

Yes. Just play a bunch of PCs who want to establish a new colony or build a new habitat or such shit.

This?

This also creates a “buyer's remorse” thing, where any legend points you sunk into ranking talents that have gone obsolete with your new shiny higher level crap. So for example: a Swordmaster gets “Melee Weapon” at 1st Circle and “Second Weapon” at 5th Circle. Second Weapon is just better than “Mel...

Interesting posting at dumpshock: Wakshaani talking about the "design concept" of SR5. So, before we dig into a big ol' plate of Troll meat (ew), we first have to talk a bit about design philosophy. There are a couple of key phrases that are invoked in the design process that try to bring ...

I don't get your idea that PDF-only products aren't true products and therefore useless. That's all.
I don't care wether WW or OPP is trying to squeeze out a few more dollars from gamers, just am curious why you deny PDF-only products any rights to exist.

The horror! PDFs are no real books. They are useless! Don't use 'em! Don't care for OPP!

Did anyone check out "Run & Gun" yet?

Yeah, that would be pretty cool

Grek wrote:Honestly, no. There are different play styles and "tough choices made by poor people" is only one of them. Some people want to play Ocean's Eleven with Orcs instead.

Different play styles aren't supported by the current SR5 dev team any more.

Steven Ratkovich would love you.

Most. Important. Character? Are you serious?

I agree with you on James Meiers being an idiot, though.

He killed the most important Character in the Background off for . . reasons . .

Hm, whom you are talking about? Aina?

Re-introduce the Firearms skill and go for it, then?

Did you read the PDF (which isn't a proper relase in your opinion iirc) or did you just give your generic anti-OPP-rant?
