Oh God. I had the motorcycle gang idea so deep in my mind it was actually distorting the picture. I seriously somehow saw the middle guy as bracing himself on a bike until you said that.

i hazily remember there having been a thread either here or on dumpshock where somebody actually went and posted a completely RAW step by step hacking attempt . . not sure if it was still SR4 or SR5 rules, but i think it was the latter . . and it was a long posting with many steps. probably here, p...

FFTA and Marche. Hero or villain? Hero. The games got a pretty obvious message about how it is important to live in the real world, not some elaborate fantasy. It could have been done a lot better, maybe drawing some parallels between the one guy's dad (Mewt?) drinking rather than facing his proble...

I am pretty sure the flying monsters are never going to make sense. You can't put proportionally sized birdwings on a human sized creature to make them capable of flying. Flying dragons aren't possible at all because birds just don't scale up like that. Same thing with giant bugs...and giant humans ...

I love the illusion school a lot, especially at low levels. Silent and Major Image has won me more encounters than any other spell, including crazy town face-rockers like Stinking Cloud and Confusion. However, I'd like to do a little poll here: How many of you have experienced games where the Illus...

So, on a slightly related note to previous questions on Origins, what is the best way to warrior for quick efficient playthough without being a mage PC, dual-wielding, two-handed greatsword, or sword and board? Edit: Or, alternatively to warrioring, how about a primarily nuker mage? Dual wielding. ...

I'm am playing through DA:O again too and am finding a warrior build surprisingly effective. While my mage was based around utterly destroying fools with tactics and CC, my warrior just runs forward with the x button held down and wins anyway.

I have the enhanced edition for both games. They also include the expansions. Not sure if there is a convenient list of the changes they made anywhere. Haven't made it to BG2 yet, but the plan is to import my fighter/illusionist. I am planning to make Imoen a permanent party member because I always ...

Didn't Baldur's Gate have a bug where if you dual-classed from ranger to cleric you permanently got all of the druid spells with your cleric spell slots? Yup, that still there. Necromancy has horror at second level, which is an AOE save or lose that does not have any friendly fire problems. It's pr...

I did a lot of stealth soloing before, but I always lost interest. I am hoping the party system ill keep me interested. I am currently in the Cloakwood mines with Illusionist/fighter, Kivan, Coran, Minsc, Jahiera, and Imoen. Kivan's been the anchor of the group so far with the majority of the kills ...

I was thinking of running one character thorough the whole series. Kensai to mage is what I hear is the real end game powerhouse, but I don't feel good enough to actually survive BG 1 with no armor unless I am casting way in the back. Unless I can add the Kensai kit exporting to BG 2. Cleric/mage ha...

So I finally bought the enhanced edition of Baldur's gate 1 and 2 and I am replaying them again. Or maybe replaying isn't the right word, because I don't think I ever finished either of them. My usual MO was to do the beginning quests, get bored and do something else for a while, and decide to roll ...

I saw this on impulse over the weekend and I was also really impressed.

I actually preordered Diablo 3, so I got to live through the "what? all you guys actually want to play the game now?" server crash clusterfuck. I picked it up again recently, but I am thinking about putting it back down because the end game is lame as all get out.

I'd do it as well.

• Being thorough instead of half-assed
• Undiluted rage/vitriol

So I say go for it. Spare nothing. Fling shit at every single word that needs it.

I vote for this as well.

You can never take our glorious victory over the Grenadians away from from us.

Am I supposed to know who shitmuffin and RPGpundit are? Are these internet handles or are they denisms I am not aware of?

Chocobo.

Fair warning, that game eventually turns into a war crime. The first four chapters are great though.

For what it's worth, I liked it.

Sounds like Thailand just had a coup. Does anyone know about this or know a good source to read up on it?

I assume they kept the "chunky sala" explosion reflection garbage, right? So really its more like taking 100 dice unless you are flying in the air away from any walls for some reason.

Why stop there? I think players would enjoy the roleplaying opportunities inherent in the personality table. Shadowrun does not have the players randomly killing each other as soon as soon as they met in a bar like NWoD, but it could.
