The Gaming Den

This "iconic barbarian" looked lame before and she looks lame now. She looks like some lame ass bitch off the cover of a cheap fantasy YA novel. No one is going to look at her and get PUMPED UP to make a character and ROLL SOME FUCKIN DICE. If I google "female fantasy barbarian" ...

The Other Path This is as good a time as any to point out that no matter how old this dungeon is, it's running off of magic and some auto-resetting traps. It is virgin. No adventurers have come her before you, unless Acererak has the biggest magical reset button ever. So you don't even have any cor...

A while ago, I started drafting a short story about a mage order venturing into that kind of dungeon in the seemingly only appropriate way: with fifteen or twenty experts applying a CSI-like, tedious protocol, one meter at a time, with colored ropes to show the range of detection spell which were c...

LEGENDARY! A stupid unfair adventure module that is actually a lot of fun. It can be used in many ways. When you read it it seems impossible. But a clever party can complete the adventure even by playing it rather conventionally (i.e. not bringing in 100 hirelings to "find" the traps"...

I thought this might have something to do with chainmail bikinis and now I am much less interested.

Just play a Civ game on a randomly generated map and watch how history unfolds. After a few thousand years, pick a moment in the game and draw your world and nations like that. Then just replace the Civs with your fantasy nations as you see fit (Iroquois become Wood Elf Coalition, Irish become the O...

"Vaguely animal-like people" is an eye-witness description of you and your friends when observed last weekend dry humping each other in the bushes. The Dragon Ball animal people are actual animal people. Learn the difference.

Look "Prak" just admit you are a furry and this is another half-baked idea of yours that will never go anywhere and really all you want to do is be a furry and lure people to your house under the pretense of playing a "cool new rpg game" then the trap is sprung and you force men ...

Fuckin' furries.

In MOBAs there's a well defined "Tank" role as the dude that goes in and does something to make the enemy team's life miserable. These dudes usually have some kind of damage mitigation mechanic, or just lots of AC and HP. Almost all tanks have a "gap closer" movement skill that ...

D&D hasn't hot any hot babes with big tits in like 15 years. It's pathetic.

> The monster are super lame.

> The math is really bad.

> Power levels are out of whack (mobs of chaff are too powerful).

> Maybe i'm just old and jaded, but reading the books is boring and fails to give my imagination a boner.

Scandinavia isn't "socialist" or "communist" though. It's "democratic socialism" or "social democracy" like Canada or Germany or even the US. Despite the hype, in many ways Scandinavian countries are more, shall we say, "market oriented" than the US....

Democracy and communism are pretty much the same thing.

Pathfucker 2E looks pretty retarded so far. I don't think I've seen a good idea yet. And that Paladin oath stuff is just beyond retarded. I am generally fine with the 3x3 alignment thing if you keep it extremely abstract and don't think about it too much, but the "legitimate authority" thi...

Here's the thing. The actual fun is twofold - planning ahead to get to that 100% success rate and not having challenges which depend on one fucking singular die roll . I dunno about that second thing. Very often the most EXCITING and hence the most FUN moments in RPG gaming occur when important suc...

Lovecraftian horror is not very effective for an RPG game IMO. While some people might think it's cool to discover their grandpa was a fishman, that might be really upsetting to some people. But how is that useful for a RPG game with a group of people? Cosmic horror and unfathomable oblivion might b...

ooooh baby.

Hawkeye is like level 1 Fighter with Weapon Focus LONG BOW. He's basically a low-level minion of the real superheroes. Level 6 characters should be hacking down SQUADS of Hawkeyes. Fuck Hawkeye.

Last night I was invited to join a group for some 5E D&D. I said NO THANKS.

Interesting argument, souran.

I guess that spell does 2d6 damage regardless of level. I guess the Epic Wizard and 3rd Level Wizard will be able to kill a handful of commoners reliably.

But a true EPIC Stone Call should do 1000d6 damage and should cover a radius at least a few miles across...

That Riftwar Milamber Ultimate Moon Attack sounds awesome.
I didn't read that far into the series.

What's your point? It's a goddamn Disney marvel comic fantasy adventure movie. Lighten up man!

I don't know how many low level casters are throwing moons at people, but if they are out there I want to play in those games. I was just being ironic. The name "Pug" always irked me but I can appreciate how he becomes hardcore and gets a cooler name later. It's been 20+ years since I rea...
