The Gaming Den

1st: Mongoose Traveller (1e)
2nd: DnD (3e)
3ed: Hero System (5e)

An honorable mention goes to After Sundown. It and Hero are contenders for the 3ed spot for me. Shadowrun (4e) would be 5th.

I listen to The Ensign's Log, a podcast about the crazy stuff happening to the junior officers aboard the Origional Enterprise, and puts a fun new spin on The Origional Series.

An actual meme off i had on discord:

#Don'tJokeAboutSexy9YearOldAnimatedChildren

Information wants to be free.

Some 1e spells and wands are specifically firearms and alien ray guns.

Melf's minute meteors literally has you loading flintlocks
And IIRC expidition to the barrier peaks goes to an alien ship where their space rays are wands.

I think you're overthinking it. You could answer with any single adjective describing the perpetrator that follows the article "a". A male. A dwarf. A thief . Old beardless male dwarf thief. Or whatever. The point of these kind of divination Spells is to move the players toward the plot. U...

Angel, I'm not engaging with you defending a racist design choice because I do not engage with racist arguments defending racism, whether the offense was intentional or accidental. I do not care what you intended or what your inspiration was and nobody else should care; what matters are the real act...

Yeah, I have no idea what Hicks is smoking. This is Dominions, a game where Hinnom uses actual Jewish religious titles and imagery applied to baby eating horned monsters . You have to accept that presenting demonic/monstrous creatures dressed in the trappings of the culture that imagined them is no...

Wasnt that the one where the dude hit a woman in a tour bus and immidieatly cuts to a reaction shot of the dude? I know it isn't a documentary, but a bunch of (terrible) things that are revealed by the movie are actually sanitized to make the band look less like a bunch of misogynistic abusers.

Honestly, brized's method works to keep players engaged with the adventure, and kaelik's method works for verisimilitude regarding each faction's capabilities within the scope of the game and gives them a mechanical framework to engage with the central conflict question that needs the PC's answer. I...

Honestly, I think if you're going to have a separate "divine caster class" be it's own separate thing, the 2e model for priestly spheres combined with a roleplaying hook per sphere or per diety would be ideal. Each diety would have a list of virtues and vices that conform to the tennats of...

I'm still tripping off of Meat-Onions. Is it an onion stuffed with meat and garlic? Peeling an onion and replacing every other layer with a thin slice of meat infused with garlic, reassembled into a sphere and baked into a sphere? Dude. That second one sounds *delicious*.

Practical Explanation ( For Example ) :- `1st of all can you tell me every single seconds detail from that time when you born ?? ( i need every seconds detail ?? that what- what you have thought and done on every single second ) can you tell me every single detail of your `1 cheapest Minute Or your...

Oh awesome! I didn't know time cube was updating again!

That is a deeply unsatisfactory defense of, "Oops, I did a racism." You read a few myths. That's it. Then you appropriated those myths to make a Native American inspired nation where all the leaders are stupid dehumanized cannibals, and every human that follows them is too young or dumb to...

Mechanically I see nothing wrong with the units. Because what jumps out and smacks my eyeballs is your Theaming: Thematically, why did you make a Native American nation where all 7 native units are literally called out as stupid half-animals in the description who are sometimes cannibals? That is a ...

I'm sorry for the loss of your loved one. I, uh, don't really have anything I could say that wouldn't be preachy, and I don't think y'all are into that. Spoiled below is some preachy stuff, tho it isn't faith based; if you're not into that either that's ok. The world is unfair, deterministic, our po...

Ok. So let's talk about that then. I'm using your After Sundown characteristics: Strength Agility Logic Intuition Charisma Willpower Initiation Grade (think potency, limits characteristics and skills to 6 + Grade) Edge And then there are a few figured statistics like Initiative and Size I fully inte...

I am explicitly dropping literally everything from shadowrun 4e except the magic system and the characteristic + skill + modifier dicepool resolution system. Dropping everything else. Magicians only, final destination . The cool stuff is the magic system slightly altered by After Sundown: Magic skil...

Imagine a hypothetical game ripping nearly word for word shadowrun 4e's dicepool resolution and magic system. Like wholesale. And in this game everyone is a Magician. It makes sense to not charge the characters points to be a magician, because every character is a magician, you can't not make a magi...

Hrmmmm... I guess I'm balking at what I am precieving as a resource to act being limited to being a reaction to what is presented in liew of being proactive and engaging with the world. I'm hoping to make this clearer in the PDF. I hope it is more defined there too. Granted, I'm pretty sure I'm comi...

In that specific case, why is that a thing: creating water? In the game where magic does stuff to alter probability and turn unknown situations toward your ends, why is instantaniousnly filling a container of any size that you verified as empty with a physical substance on theme? I get where you're ...
