The Gaming Den

So, Shock Trooper?

Yes, but this way Wizards makes more money. I have a sneaking suspicion Hasbro is getting tired of their shit and is telling them "either monetize DnD or fire everybody who's not working on MtG."

I refer to that resource management thread all the time: http://www.tgdmb.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=53893 As for reducing the cost of lower level abilities, that can get weird. It's more straightforward to either have abilities scale up to remain relevant, and limit the number of them available, or...

Little Timmy, the NPC the PCs are trying to protect is instant dead when an enemy has him within sight as they can 100% blow his brains out because misses aren't part of the system. Having some sort of defense action to negate some number of incoming attacks would go a long way, as would giving som...

I feel like if one were to do a deep dive into European warrior fantasy, there's plenty of anime fightan magick to be found. People wrestling bears, hulking brutes that can chop several men in half with a single sword swing, that sort of thing. Slamming the ground and hitting everyone in a cone or b...

If I were implementing this at my table, I'd switch all attacks to AC roll to make it consistent. Having AC roll for AoE attacks but To-Hit roll for single target at the same table is a recipe for frustration.

I think that that doesn't matter to them because the places most effected are deeply red anyway.

This really cinches the whole thing nicely. Much like Trump could shoot a man in broad daylight and not lose votes, the GOP can murder thousands of poor people and not lose any districts.

I kinda want to play this, only so I can annoy the MC by always pronouncing Blacksand! with gusto, even though the name of the city doesn't have the bang. Were I to run it myself, I'd probably just steal the setting and the concept that the players are somewhat self aware action movie characters and...

They could use both reproduction methods. Lonely dragon eggs hatch into fully grown adults, and once you've got two kobolds, they quickly set about having babies of their own. So our lonely dragon has a dozen able helpers and at least as many more in diapers. Also keep in mind that dragons plan on a...

Yeah, wait again.

I'd love to be able to remove my dysphoria by casting break enchantment, but thanks for reminding me why I have ISP on ignore.

I have no idea what we would be waiting for.

Kick it in.

For a moment there, I thought the GIANT FROG abilities were the actual punchline. It wouldn't be the first time around here.

If anybody is going to be a real opponent, it's the captain, but why stop showing off now? Disarm him, too.

Gotta love these completely uninformed "choices".

Pocket coin says starboard.

By now the crew have given up fighting the primal power of the storm. The sails have been hauled in , the cargo secured. Sounds like someone doesn't know how ships work. The natural action of the waves is to turn the ship sideways and then flip it. You need the sails out to keep the ship turned int...

Let's help out. Best case scenario from hiding below decks is that nothing interesting happens at all. Phooey.

There's a handful of people who made millions by making this happen, and they stand to be investigated. The question is DID they lie about any of it? If they just said "this hedge fund wants to make a bunch of money by driving Gamestop into bankruptcy, and we can stop that by buying the shit ou...

Go on, take the money and run. Bet it all on three!

This is probably gonna end badly for the kid in the box, but let's peek anyway.

A 1-6 chance to win at 6-1 payout in an illegal gambling operation? Yep, I totally believe that's a fair wheel. While you could theoretically get positive EV by betting late on the number with the fewest other bets, I doubt the book is going to let us do that. Let's just watch and see if something i...

We have fairly reasonable weapon and armor now. It's time to chew ass and kick bubblegum, and I'm all out of ass.

(2) the customer complaints were within normal bounds.... so they're not a big deal? I don't get this one A quick snippet. This sounds like they're claiming it's just the thing where you can't make everybody happy. Somebody says the elves aren't pretty enough so you make them prettier and now someb...

Tarus's warning that what we do with the power is out responsibility assuages my doubt that this was a ploy to gain control of us. Calderal was worried about our loyalty, which means we can still betray him.

I accept the power of darkness.

Always go for story mode, not masochistic gamer mode.
