The Gaming Den

Im on a viking fever lately and stumbled upon this, which weirdly Ive never seen or heard before. The art is awesome. Im curious about the system and how it plays out.

So, has someone played or read this ?

Wau! Nice rig, Jigoku. :thumb: Prak: theres no picture yet. I went with the description given by the author on the KS page.. -- LIMITED EDITION HARDCOVER BOOKS -- The highest level of support/backing rewards you with a limited edition version of both the core Shinobigami book and the supplement book...

Me ? I just pledged the Shinobigami rpg kickstarter at limited edition level (faux leather black & red hardcover in the shape of a mystic ninja scroll YEAAAAHHH ), plus Urban Shadows and Saga of the Icelanders from Noble Knight.

How about you ? Whats Santa bringin to you ?

Brainstorming time! My Shadowrun group wants to take a break and play covert-ops pawns in middle-east chess boardgame. (looose) Premises: - Group has common mission objectives, but hidden nation agendas to accomplish; - Each character from a nation (USA, Russia, France, Israel, Turkey) - Each nation...

Is it possible to convey thought provoking themes through tabletop role playing ? I've been playing two PC games lately, Soma and Pathologic, which happen to be pretty good vehicles for reflection upon certain human-related conditions and themes. Can the same be made with table RPGs ? If so, how, an...

In Pathologic, what are the consequences if I dont save the bunch of arrested people in 5th day ? Ill be totally cash-broken if I do that, damn it. The water chip in Fallout 1 is maybe half of the main plot, at best. IIRC, you can find it in fairly short order if you're determined to do so. I vaguel...

A little update explaining the "wheel of hate" between clans. Funny how this is looking more and more like a Vampire the Masquerade's wild hyperactive younger brother. :mrgreen: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diamondsutra/shinobigami-modern-ninja-battle-tabletop-rpg-from/posts/141355...

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-krxrR0DJ5PI/VkNuw3P-dwI/AAAAAAAAckA/sPjE1vemJtU/s1600/RQ2-dustjacket-v3.jpg From Chaosium official forums: It is not an exact reprint of RQ2. If we did that it would not have the errata incorporated into the text, nor would we have corrected some typos. :-) and there would...

The whole plot from Fallout 1 comprises a broken water purifier and how hard it is to find the chip to get it back to work. Now they make it a banal affair. Are they that ignorant of FO canon ?

About combat: its best than ever. While everything else is worst.

This is Bethesda's Call of Duty.

Reading some Fallout 4 reviews and first-impressions and it touches the exact points we are talking here: a commercial game designed by committee to appeal to the masses and grant a 20 million revenue. Game is too easy, too shallow (there are not even skills this time), combat-focused with coolz eff...

Im at day 5 in Pathologic and the inevitable comparison already popped in my head: how does it fare against Planescape Torment, the other dialogue-driven mesmerizing macabre unconventional game I love ? My impression so far is that Pathologic is clearly the better game , because differently from PS ...

Thanks for the info, people. GreatGreyShrike' post actually sold me on the game. I'll try to find it on Steam.

By the way, is it possible to replicate on the tabletop environment the kind of experience videogames like these provide ? Hmmm...

I´ve heard The Void is also pretty good. Its from the same devs of Pathologic. Anyone played it ?

Watched Boruto, the Naturo son movie, this weekend. Its pretty good, easily the best Naruto movie of all (which is not a difficult thing, as the others were inconsistent at best). I wonder if its gonna turn into new series or something.

So what if its rape ? its a piece of fiction , not reality. What´s next ? Lets prohibite murders, face slaps and bad words in fiction too ? Oh, and before someone brings up the "but rape is worst than murder!" again, I must remember it is so only for your shitty christian/abrahamic values,...

Did... did people forget that silva is a liar and a troll, and no matter how many argument points you score against him, you already lost as soon as you took his bear-bait? Hehe. Sorry to disappoint you bro. :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: [The Great Fence Builder Speaks] silva: Are you admitting to trolling ...

Man, I know you declare victory over any li'l thing, but that one's a reach even for you given that he explicitly mentioned in-game conversation. Nope, he actually asserted that what caused the zone was a nuclear disaster. Which is the farthest as possible from the truth. In other words: I won. :ro...

Kaelik, my bro, the Zone in Stalker has nothing to do whatsoever with nuclear radiation. Insisting it does only proves you know nothing of the game. Indeed, how foolish of me to believe the pre release lore explanations, the things every character says in the game, and the current, long post game w...

Hehe. Sorry to disappoint you bro.

Kaelik, my bro, the Zone in Stalker has nothing to do whatsoever with nuclear radiation. Insisting it does only proves you know nothing of the game. And really, if for you Mad Max as a work deals with the exact same themes and issues as The Road or Tarkovski Stalker, then the one needing to google t...

So you mean that both people are scavengers Nope. One is trying to save his people (Fallout), the other is in it just for the money (Stalker). in a post nuclear event Nope. Stalker's Zone has nothing to do with nuclear whatsoever. and incidentally end up saving everyone by their actions Nope. Stalk...

Kaelik is confusing theme for genre. Sometimes genre tags indeed indicate commonly shared themes and issues, but other times don't. So, while Mad Mad and, say, Tank Girl are pretty similar themes-wise, those are wildly different from The Road or Tarkovsk Stalker. Even of all of them use to have the ...

If by sharing the tag "post-apocalyptic", you think both games deal with the same themes and issues, I disagree. Fallout is your typical american world-saving "chosen one" heroism. Stalker has no such thing as heroism, nor world-saving.

Kickstarter is up.

One thing that would help the rpg industry imensely, I think, is making games quicker to assemble and run. In your average rpg you spend 4 hours reading a 300 pages book, then create a character in 1 hour and a half, and then play a story arc in 2 or 3 sessions of 4 hours each. Nowadays your average...
