The Gaming Den

I think you're wrong there. Anybody likely to swayed against Trump by him saying ridiculous nonsense has likely already jumped ship. In fact, just by getting more media exposure he seems to gain slightly by being a nutjob. The polls have been a history of him creeping up until Hillary has a big medi...

I'm pretty sure that the various other worlds are places you don't go because the action is supposed to take place mostly on Earth. Terrible monsters leak into an area sparking off a horror movie plot, and you have to smack them down or work together with them or whatever. The various factions make ...

You... really have not thought this through very thoroughly. Or tested it. Your algorithm (as written) will literally just fill the entire array with alternating 0's and 2's. f(n)=m means that n should divide m!, not the other way around. Off the top of my head, I can't think of a good sieve-related...

Yeah, you can attack from the factoral side with something like this: public int calculate&#40;int n&#41; &#123; long fact = 1; for &#40;int m = 2; m < n; m++&#41; &#123; fact = &#40;fact * m&#41; % n; if &#40;fact == 0&#41; return m; &#125; return n; &...

Also, some of the predefined triumph effects are totally bonkers. I personally like Coercion: With (triumph), the character may completely break the subject's willpower. The target's allegiance shifts to that of a subjugated ally of the acting character rather than an opponent. The newfound follower...

If we had access to more granular sales figures, we could look for relative bumps around PAX (Acquisitions Inc) or attention-grabbing events in Critical Role. We don't though or people wouldn't be arguing about the sales of 3e vs 3.5e vs 4e vs 5e, or about the rate at which 5e is currently selling. ...

Majere. And while it's true that I know him considerably better than any other D&D wizard, that's because I read everything Weis and Hickman wrote up to the end of the War of Souls. I think it's going to be mostly all-or-nothing for knowing Raistlin, while a lot of people will have heard of Bigb...

Hell, the khornate space elves regularly summon a greater daemon of khorne to help in their very honourable battles against their foes . . Which itself is but a shard of the Elvish Khornate Aspect of War, left over after one of their other chaos gods broke him into thousands of little pieces. So ma...

Even if you cumulatively combine the "extremes" into collective amorphous masses the 5% cut off is only something like 27-43. On 10d6, 25-45 is just shy of 95% and 22-48 is just shy of 99%. 18-52 is 99.9%, so if you really need 53+ on a particular roll you're going to need your lucky snea...

That's one of the possibilities: SRD[/url]] Neutral, "Undecided" A neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. She doesn’t feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a...

Here's the short version: it didn't fix any of the major problems with 3.5e and in some cases made them worse. Pathfinder isn't a bad system. It tightened up the skill list, removed the stupidity around class skills vs cross-class skills, and added character backstory incentives (traits, at least in...

I'm sure the low-CR incorporeals are on the overpowered list. Looking at you, Allip and Shadow.

It's fine to have a gimmick or two, but you have way too many special snowflake rules in there. Having a few dramatic features is better than having a billion fiddly little ones. To answer the underlying question, even weird mantis-people shouldn't be that different from orc or humans, at least mech...

I think that's just a subset of a more general problem: obstacles that arbitrarily have only the one solution. I.e. that thing that the DM wants you to solve one way and all other solutions are Wrong and Terrible . My problem with mazes is that they either end up being so abstract that they become a...

If you have irredeemable villains and unreasoning beasts as antagonists, then kill on sight is the only option. For example, trying to talk with Horrors is a bad idea in Earthdawn. They are incarnations of suffering, evil, and destruction; their existence is antithetical to Namegivers'. Anything the...

If it takes days to move at sublight within a system but you can use FTL to jump out and back in to a different point, people will just do that. That would shorten any intra-system movement to minutes.

Any part of the Pathfinder downtime rules that relate to running a business are broken in interesting and sometimes hilarious ways, but the rest of it (retraining, making items, changing animal companions, training animals, "scheming" to get some tokens that can be redemmed for +2 skill bo...

That's Discordian Pope to you, thankyouverymuch!

Ok, please tell me I'm not misremembering and Heighten Spell affects dice caps. They can't really have written that shitty of a metamagic feat that it only increases your DC and "you must be this tall to pass" effects, right? It does not affect dice caps. The amazing thing is that somebod...

THe THrawn stuff is supposedly really good. Appearantly, he is actually a competent military leader. The books are old enough to drink, but just in case here's your spoiler warning: I finally got around to reading the Thrawn trilogy last year, and I would never call him a competent military leader....

Utah and Idaho have relatively restrictive liquor laws, yes. I'll leave whether or not they are a result of high Mormon populations and Mormon representation in local government up to you. I actually didn't realize before now that Utah restricts individuals from carrying alcohol into the state. I d...

The problem arises when you're literally five minutes away from the apocalypse and that little delay causes the extinction of the human race, which would have been the case if they needed approval to go into Sokovia. If they really believe that the world is in immediate danger, then they just have ...

Yes, but just about any form + function can be justified if you take even a tiny effort. This ring gives you the strength of ten men. These shiny gold slippers grant you an equally golden tongue. You have a swarm of ioun stones that actively attempt to deflect attacks. Saying that a specific magical...

The reason Char Op people liked it was that it was very dippable. You could pick up a soulmeld with a feat; they were such a grab bag of abilities that you could usually find something useful.
