The Gaming Den

So never winter nights: diamond is a thing on steam, and has been for most of the year. And I only just learned this. I'm gonna grab me that and infinidungeon and never ever do anything productive again forever.

Possession spirits as demons also don't explosively break the masquerade.

So.... I was looking to be a Skald, because *of course*, but then I saw the sleep skill. Why does this exist as a skill? Just assume I wrote, "that's dumb." after you respond. Nothing against you, but I can in no way envision a universe where whatever is said to justify sleep as a skill as...

People aren't islands, and unlike them they needn't shoulder mountains alone.

whelp, foxwarrior and I found a dumb one for shadowrun 4e magicians. Mana Static makes a background count that reduces the force of any Spirits in it. Summon a spirit normally, but before you bind it cast Mana Static and get 1 less effect than the summoned spirit's force. use a service to get the sp...

It depends on how you handle levels. You can just flat out *make* the character generation start at level 3, and say NPCs have one or two levels. Or level whatever.

The Lego Group response on Lego Porn wrote:“Thanks for reaching out to us,” a spokesperson for Lego replied. “We have nothing to contribute with in this context as it is not related to us or our focus as a company in any way.”

Yeah. I actually lol'd there.

The point of 20+ wasn't that you always suceed, but that experts *very* rarely failed. The odds of rolling the *lowest* for experts increase at a tremendous rate. +0, 1:20 +1, 1:400 +2, 1:8,000 +3, 1:160,000 +4, 1:3,200,000 +5, 1:64,000,000 +6, 1:1,280,000,000 For a skill system where the numbers ar...

There's also the 20+ resolution mechanic , which doesn't work like anything described above. As your bonus gets larger your minimm and maximum number rolled increases, and since you use the highest d20 in a pool the output skews higher and higher the more bonuses you have. But the maximum bonus the ...

i see what you did there.

Honestly, I think "diceless" is a marked improvement to the *world engine; streamling the entire process by removing the deterministic and therfore unnessary roll to fail and skipping straight to failing after declaring your actions.

As someone who played a captain in the new star trek rpg... the point is to utilize your subordinates to advance the plot. They have skills I don't, and are better in in situations I'm not. When the going gets tough, Picard holds a staff meeting, listens to what his experts say, and then defers to t...

Hey, I thought the Union and C'thulhu were allies since big, mean, and green kicked a whole bunch of moon beast butt in the lunar war, or was that written out of the backstory somewhere?

No? You would not do that. 88.79% of water's mass is useless, corossive oxygen that is nothing but dead weight in a fusion reactor. And I thought this was about duterium/tritium fusion, not proton/proton fusion, which is way harder. All that oxygen would have to be electrolized out, and it would be ...

Then they may he better serviced playing 1930s sky pirates with mothership zeppelins https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/54/CrimsonSkies_coverart.jpg/220px-CrimsonSkies_coverart.jpg I mean, the Macon and Akron were totally real things that you can base a campaign on: https://encrypted-...

I mean I know I'm not a big fan of puzzle games, but having a futuristic anti-professor leyton kit with blue underlights for the items seems a bit excessive.

It is my understanding that LRMs could only be fired indirectly if you had a spotter in table top. Does the computer game have hidden infantry platoons or battlearmor? Cuz if not the spotter should always be in LOS to you; and eleminating the spotter stops the indirect LRMs.

This question spoils an encounter for my Hyrule Quest Game. If you are participating in that game this question and thread will spoil an encounter. I'll remove the spoiler after the encounter is over. Look, I know we don't use item crafting out of the 3.5 DMG. But as an excercise in crazy i'm runnin...

So for those of you who are poor or cheap (I'm both) and/or your computer is a potato whose chips are more "fried starch" than silicon, VASSAL is a free multiplayer table top board game emulator that can load up modules perfectly emulating a game; like an even more powerful version of Roll...

No, look: The narrative is destroyed by these dumb tricks in first place. If people can use cantrips to deal 6d6 damage [4d6, Hicks] at range or wear constructs as armor with hundred of HP, then the world is actually different from what the books say. I don't particularly mind DMing a Super Robot c...

To be absolutely fair, it just means that Tippiverses don't exist and the campaign world actually takes place on a plane of the abyss, because all the others were destroyed. The only safe space is being mind blanked inside a magnificent mansion with 9' ceilings. I mean, that's what infinity means; i...

As I have previously pointed out. The rules for Creature Sizes say 64ft or more. There are no rules that indicate that the Creature Size rules apply to item sizes, so there are no rules saying that Objects larger than 64ft are Colossal. That is irrelevant. The spell Animate Objects makes the object...

So, 3.X wizards. Evokers cry themselves to sleep every night because Save or Lose and Save or Die spells like sleep and color spray are just better than magic missile or fireball, and then there are the No Save just Win spells like solid fog and other battlefield control spells that can chop a high ...
