The Gaming Den

I could resort to some explanation about the Weapon of Insertgodhere, but it's not important enough. I refuse to develop emotional attachments to stuff I made up on the spur of the moment.[br][br]Really, though, I have no problem with part of campaign being something like "Pass the tests, claim...

I'd say the various gods let it be known that the Weapon of Insertgodhere is out there, and it'd be worth a lot of afterlife cred if some mortal manages to pick it up, and then let the mortals do the finding, risking of lives, and claiming on their own. If you're a god, you know there will always be...

I've always thought the testing ground serves as, well, a test of the abilities of the participant, where the participant is agreed to have the abilities if they do pass. [br][br]It's more or less saying, "Well, you figured out the rotating bridge puzzle, deduced the correct mixture of solution...

The Riddler in charge of security? Ye gods, that does explain a lot...[br][br][br]Okay, here's a question for Frank:[br][br]How many of these sections are you currently sitting on? As befits a smart (I hope) newbie, I've been using the Search button to look through the forum to see if any questions ...

Actually, there's no telling why Racoon City was made as it was. I haven't even played any Resident Evil all the way through, but some of the stuff just makes me go, "...Why would people have actual puzzles in their city design?"[br][br]Really. Who actually sits down and decides they're go...

After re-reading and against marveling at the Dungeonomicon, I've been thinking about some stuff.[br]First, Gygaxian traps get on my nerves. Frank and K are right. People are not going to put something like THIS (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0036.html) in their living room, even if they are re...

BBeGs are always sorta tricky to handle, in my experience. They have to have some serious badassery (if you'll forgive the term), but you've got to find excuses for them not to just rush in and score a TPK in two or three rounds. So walking that line is something, but then there's the burden of crea...

The formatting needs to be cleaned up, but I can express admiration for the old-time story flavor, along with the parenthetical comments and death threats.[br]Which I'm attracted to, because after making several futile efforts to try to have games with a group of triple-gestalt powergamers whose res...

Speaking of the slaad, Planewalker.com (nice website), has this little gem about them...
