The Gaming Den

Bucknard for days, chumps.

Murlynd's Beard should double the efficacy of any eaten mush produced by a Murlynd's Spoon, via "soup-straining". Ring of Elemental Polite Request: The ring's setting consists of a 1cm wide ring gate, which can be attuned to any of the Inner Planes, one at a time, as a standard action. Pos...

(I)f you're going to say that monsters get an "I won't do that" condition that makes them immune to mundane diplomacy, then everyone should and it should be codified. In M&M3 it's a 5 point Immunity. While I'd argue that skills are weighted 2-3x more heavily than they should be in tha...

It's likely worth it to shoot for nine forms total just to snag an Ennead reference. I could see one including a nod to the Ogdoad with a sexually dimorphic frog/snake race. A small-sized scarab-person with a swarmform feat would also be fun.

So that no one else has to, I made a list of all the Nightbane stuff in the Rifter up through 66, excluding short fiction. It should go without saying that the fluff is ill-considered garbage, but that may be a minority opinion. 1, 15, 20, 42, & 44 are the ones with morphus tables, and once the ...

Thank you. I find that behavior beyond irritating.

I'd be willing to wager the storyline will play out with Zemo learning of Rogers' supposed Hydra ties, and distancing himself from the organization. Zemo then (while the writers trot out a few more D-listers as potential Masters of Evil before the name is considered distasteful) collects Cube fragme...

It's an adventure and collectable miniature tie in with a related board game scheduled to be released a couple of quarters later, which I'd guess to be the actual focus.

Yeah, dude, I'm just talkin' texture.

If I were planning on making my own gummy candy, I'd first dredge the worms in a mixture of citric acid, powdered sugar, and a little additional cornstarch (so as to combat any potential weeping from the gelatin mixture), followed by rolling the candy in a granulated sugar/citric acid mix (to give t...

If the room isn't too big do it in dry erase paint and juxtapose swaths of temporary color around hung accents. Avail yourself of available natural light, whether through low-maintenance greenery or sparkly shit. Don't paint everything black.

Assuming this isn't just some neighbor's chicken that got loose when it went broody, and you intend on doing something with the chicks, then buy a small bag of chick starter feed (~1USD/lb), which is a serviceable choice for the sitting hen as well. Have a source of clean water nearby. Broody hens c...

As a rules-medium, M&M( d20herosrd.com ) might be a less than ideal fit for River City Ransom, the RPG. That said, certain aspects are in keeping with the genre, such as many fights largely reducing to a gradual chipping away of an opponent's Toughness, punctuated with occasional effects-driven ...

I like the sauce, and so would never take acetaminophen, but it is commonly part of combination painkillers such as Vicodin and Lortab due to synergistic effects. I cut out three of my own third molars. They were crowding the other teeth, didn't come in horizontally, and I had a recent x ray on an u...

Is there a decent listing available of 3.5 intelligent fliers, divided by maneuverability?

The best use of sweet ciders is as a precursor to homemade applejack. Most bottled alcopops can handle a belt of eau de vie, if one has something cheap they want to get rid of. I've been searching for a quality multi-function breaching tool, to little success. Most halligan/axe combos have inflated ...

I would be interested in reading people's personal experiences with piezoelectric ultrasonic dental scalers, specifically models intended for home use in the ~200USD range.

The Mossack Fonseca leak has sufficiently shamed Iceland's Prime Minister into stepping down. While that tickles the part of me that needs to watch the world burn, I'm more amused by the irony of the resignation of a branch President for anti-corruption group Transparency International.

I've only ever read a couple of short stories by S. King. Having seen a few adaptations, he's never struck me as an author I'd be into. I'm currently laid up from recent surgery, and painkillers are rendering me willing to give him a shot. What one-and-done book might be a good choice for this?

Gliding This sort of quibbling being outside the thread's purview, it gets spoilered. Relying on gliding to make slam attacks versus grounded opponents is problematic, insofar as the only ways for the above build to gain altitude are GM fiat and Teleport. If one were to not switch instead to Winged...

A damage effect limited by PL to +0/+3, that not only requires a character get in melee range but also provokes a DC 16 Toughness check (immunity to one's own slam damage being inefficient to purchase at PL1), makes far less sense than a ranged damage effect from outside of the range of any same PL ...

M&M3 isn't all that well suited for 1st level shenanigans, but for shits and grins here's a PL1 flying teleporter. It can fly at 16mph, has a 60' personal teleport, and with 2 move actions can make a 15' portal that can teleport a group 2 miles. It also meets all its caps, and plinks for damage ...

I had playing on a tertiary display the most recent DC animated film, Justice League vs. Teen Titans, since noise is a nominally tolerable counter to crushing ennui and that body of work is, if not good, at least consistent. At one point the TT are at a fair in plain clothes when bad guys show up. T...

In 2E FR there was the adventure How the Mighty Are Fallen, to be used with the Netheril box set. I remember liking the box when I flipped through it 20 years ago, but that's neither here nor there. Dungeon #136 had the adventure Gates of Oblivion, which involves the Shadovar, being a remnant of Net...

How does one go about making sure a point buy system is balanced? They're generally more open ended than a level based system like D&D. If one is putting together a new system that's nominally balanced, limits must be placed as to what genre the game hopes to emulate. If using another system, o...
