The Gaming Den

Somebody sure has strong opinions on not posting here for a guy who still posts here. Not even just in this thread, but in the actual game design bits of the forum. You're either too cool to post here, or you're not. Either stop shitting, or get back in the pot. As I said, it was a peeve of mine, a...

How someone REACTS to an attack is mega important, so you'd need to break away from D&D's system of static standing until it's your turn. Yes in real combat, but actually forcing players to make decisions about that in every combat round introduces a whole bunch of complications. For instance -...

Look at him, bragging about his upvotes like anybody gives a fuck. No wonder he hates this place, his ego doesn't get stroked enough. Ah yes, so that's why I largely gave up on social media recently. I am totally addicted to upvotes to the point that I deleted those accounts. And then I decided to ...

Stop using the past tense to describe something that has yet to happen. Or better yet, make that an actual true thing that happened, and leave. You're super welcome to do so. Except I did. I barely posted for a long, long time. And that's when I discovered it wasn't the rest of the Internet was ful...

Eh, it's not tiny, but adjacent squares doesn't give you much breathing room . Yep, but compare it with the actual fight scenes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=40HhaIJ0QVw The Obi Wan vs Anakin duel is basically the two of them being in adjacent 5x5 squares for most of the battle, with Obi Wan gen...

Again, this is for newbies and lurkers still holding out hope that the Den can be salvaged... Don't be fooled. This is the Den's old boys club trying to nurse each other's fragile egos. Its really sad when three grown men feel the need to repeat and reinforce each other's points because of how impot...

I think you have amply demonstrated that no one on earth is more stuck here than you, and I'm really sorry that someone keeps forcing you to post here, mostly because of how it makes other people who aren't you suffer. Still trying to hide you didn't call out AA here eh? And Kaelik, I have not been...

I'll leave you to whatever you want to believe about kaelik but I'm not sure what you think you're going to get with this 'enabling assholes' line. I don't need to defend kaelik. What I'm pointing at is a bad argument. I've had it out with kaelik numerous times over the years but whether or not I l...

Yes, I replied to his usage of it in the thread where he used it and Shrapnel asked him to stop and he said he would keep doing it because he's an asshole and likes being an asshole and won't respect asking him to no be ableist. Right, that's why you totally called AA out here too. Oh wait you didn...

I'm pretty sure lurkers and newbies will be quick to observe that kaelik is not in charge of AdvAlm and will find it strange that in response to what kaelik said about his own behavior Zine is pointing to kaelik and saying "What about this other poster?!" Actually lurkers and newbies will...

I specifically called out AA for his ableism in the same place that Shrapnel did because I agree with Shrapnel. Ah yes that's why you never replied to AA's post here at all. Facts are meaningless as long as you can lie with a straight face. I haven't said that I haven't insulted anyone since 2014. ...

I mean, I did change how I talk to you, for starters I haven't called anyone the word since 2014. Let me spell it out for the lurkers and newbies, because Kaelik really has no shame. Count was not the only member that Shrapnel called out for "ableist" insults. He actually also called out ...

You can literally find a post from half the people in this thread explicitly saying they used to do these things but stopped and a brief explanation of why they stopped and that they regret their past use on tgd in various places. And yet have you changed how you treat and talk to me one bit? Nope....

This stupid thread is still ongoing? Really? I'll just point out for any lurker or newcomer that pretty much every single person here now decrying the use of "ableist" language used to call me and many other people "retards" and other ableist terms. All the bloody time. So don't ...

Sorry, promised not to post anymore but saw this thread and I just can't help how people missed a very important little fact: The 5 feet by 5 feet square is NOT small at all. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fencing_rules The standard fencing play area is about 45 feet by 5 feet long, or 1 x 9 squares....

where should we migrate to? There's frankly an enormous amount of RPG design related resources outside of the Den. Not to mention a much larger growth of game design discussion in general - particularly video and board game design. If design is really your primary draw, just Google them up and pick...

The explanation for that is in the games premise: that there are adventurers . The premise that there are adventurers is the historically anachronistic assumption that there are individual people so badass you hire them instead of 100 dudes with spears. Take it from the opposite perspective: If adv...

Again, the point here is that in fact, Lol, no. That's the point you want everyone to focus on so they don't realize you're just a Sheldon Cooper with no redeeming qualities. The point is no one who isn't one of your sycophants believes your bullshit anymore. I never believed it. The vast majority ...

I'm fairly sure kaelik and others did advocate for murder of political figures some time ago but the argument being made now isn't that. It's 'just' about whether or not Grek knows what kaelik's ideal plan is. I really find this to be so pathetic it's not even funny anymore. I'm the one who origina...

Zinegata is Frank Trollman! Learn what words mean before you go off on future tangents, you fucking retard. How can you post what you do and not feel embarrassed later? Seriously, go google the word 'stan' (which I fucking hate). I'll wait. Ah yes because I wasn't the first person to point out that...

I don't really see what an encumbrance system bring to a game. (Unless your players love micromanagement) Treasure haul games are like that. You're laden with gold artifacts, there's a rickety bridge to cross. You might scheme a way to cross without dropping loot, risk the bridge breaking, fall int...

Zinegata is Frank Trollman! "That's why most inevitably resort to accusing newcomers of being an alt-account of silva or whomever. They think it proves their chops of "defending" the Den against stupidity. In reality, it shows that they are garbage people who waste their lives attack...

When I see articles like this, it gives me the impression that MtG has remained a pretty well-designed and well-thought-out game. But then I look at things like your other thread (http://tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=57646), and you flat-out say that most of the Kamigawa set was pretty boring. Design a...

Not so! I am totally capable of articulating Kaelik's 'plan'. It's just that doing so is against the forum rules regarding advocating for the death of real world people. Which should tell people a lot about the level of political discourse on this forum and how much of it is people actually agitati...

lots of whining, not much of substance You aren't listening, and you're not as smart as you think you are. Blocking for the sake of my sanity. Lol, that's your feeble retort? From the guy who was saying Frank can leave if he can't take the heat? What you call your "sanity" is in fact just...
