The Gaming Den

Thanks. Have passed on to friends who may be interested.

Re: Divination - a few times in one campaign, we used one of those yes/no divinations iteratively on a map to determine where the thing we were looking for was - I guess we decided that wasn't fun, since it didn't happen any more after that.

So the net cost to you of the taxiing you did was so high, you could offset 3/4 of your taxes??

Getting sued for unpaid medical bills. Again. I'm assuming by someone else because I've been making the agreed upon payments on my last judgment. Not that any of you fuckers care but strongly considering suicide at this point, because that's the only thing that's going to stop this shit from happen...

This may be relevant/helpful (or possibly not, since I don't know quantum, so I can't tell how close SMBC is)

We haven't done an experiment with many parallel earths where we see how often genocidal sea peoples show up different places and murder the natives with whatever degree of success, I dunno about slavery (there probably was a whole bunch of it), but we totally have evidence of Murderous Sea Peoples...

Relevant? : It's mildly annoying that Firefox won't auto-fill my login details because it's too busy whining about lack of security.

Zeppelin cities in the upper atmosphere is an idea for colonising Venus.

Females of some species of deer have antlers. [edit] Further googling tells me that it's mostly reindeer/caribou where the females typically have antlers - but sometimes a female of other species will grow them, too

And then some douch cleric turns undead because your cart is EVIL Doesn't that need line-of-sight/effect or something? (May vary by which edition's rules you're using) [edit] Since the gearbox has total cover, being inside the carriage, it is protected from turn undead by clerics who've not had the...

I think what makes a man turn neutral is a lust for cuckoo clocks and fondue.

Apparently, the US Electoral College is embedded in difficult-to-change laws (Constitution, or something, also state laws...?)

Here is a workaround that is being attempted: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_ ... te_Compact

Doesn't zombification cost something like 50gp per HD, depending on setting? I think you're better off just hiring some peasants for peasant wages to process your livestock into preserved meat products.

Looking at the scatter of bullet-holes on that truck, I think the gendarmes (who I presume to be the ones with the guns) need more training. I hope they didn't hit anyone other than the driver. Of course, I may just be expecting better accuracy than is reasonable from people trained to shoot.

Are we talking "...technically telling the truth, the best kind of telling the truth..." ?

Smallpox was a fluke/miracle. A one time event that was never replicated despite the same base conditions being replicated multiple times since then. Again, plenty of other nasty diseases that can be cured and could be eradicated right now if, say, the USA decided to buy one less high-tech flying k...

In what ways do you judge DDO to be horribly unbalanced?

As I like to read stuff, I am in favour of people writing good collections of words. Congratulations!

What things in Pathfinder interact with the (harmless) tag?

It's one edit - the last one. I pondered reverting it for being gibberish, but didn't.

Re:ASoIaF

I've played the second one, the GM banned me from taking both 'good at using a shield' and 'good at dodging' because it made my character harder to kill.

As a group, we agreed the system seemed somewhat crappy.

I can't guarantee you won't hate it, but I quite like Hello Internet - http://www.hellointernet.fm/podcast?format=rss - if you do like it, then there are 51 episodes so far, which should be over 100 hours of Two Guys Talking about stuff... I just download it from that page and listen to it on my com...

Are there any ways to be a robot person in D&D3.5 other than the Warforged race? Awaken Construct spell, cast on something suitably robot-like? Also, Green Star Adept makes you a construct - if the (re)fluff is robot-like enough, and you're starting high enough, that might work? [edit]ed to rem...
