The Gaming Den

While they've now officially stated that the stats in the Monster Manual I are basically wrong, they are still the correct kind of numbers to play in an Essentials game. They don't do nearly enough damage and they have too many hit points and no one likes them. Can I get a quote on this? Look at th...

...just in time for the release of Essentials

On the bright side, if you build up a sizable non-English speaking fanbase in another country, it will help to curb piracy in the long run. Gaming is a group project and you can't really do it if only two or three of the people out of a group can read the ENG books. The problem is that the whole 'c...

The fun part about essentials is that it's still more compatible to 4e than pathfinder to 3.5. I don't buy that. Yeah, from how it looks like Pathfinder is going to be seeing some major problems once someone brings a Spell Compendium to table, but it's not like the game implodes in on itself. If yo...

But seriously, this is like an untapped goldmine here. The 90's WoD and D&D are pretty much the only 'names' in RPGs that have (had) the money for regular decent foreign translations. I know that there are native-language RPGs out there and also that some of them like DSA and Alshard are going ...

Try advocating a liberal point of view on a conservative board that shares the Den's moderating policy. I've been harassed on a major roleplaying game website for daring to believe in the big bang and quantum mechanics. Not just "mocked", but openly, repeatedly harassed, every time I went...

So you are intolerant towards intolerance. And it's justified. Don't you see the problem here? I was wondering if you'd actually hit upon the paradox. Good one. You're not a moron then :P. So it was a social experiment? If you had also read my whole original post as opposed to merely nitpicking &qu...

You say intolerance is justifiable. Therefore, Hitler's intolerance is justifiable. So you're actually the one who's saying it's totally cool for Hitler to hate Jews :P. Of course. It is(was) his decision whom to hate or not. However, since I'm ok with intolerance, I can be very intolerant towards ...

So your intolerance towards genocide is justifiable? You're not only a moron, you're a troll. Best of both worlds. Still, you didn't answer the question. I do not agree with your original statement. Intolerance is justifiable. There are limits to tolerance as any reasonably intelligent human should...

Intolerance isn't justifiable. Hitler had his own justifications for being intolerant to Jews, but it doesn't make them right. So genocide is something that should be tolerated? Eh? That's the exact opposite of what I said. Again: No, in an ideal world intolerance is never justifiable. Not just sex...

RobbyPants: You are right about the UMD-abuse potential. However, I think such a problem is with the skill and not with the skill system itself. And I have no problem if a melee char wants to buff himself with UMD, and if they really want to spend all their loot on wands, that's their choice... Uber...

After some lurking, I thought I'd present my idea for a skill system to the critical eyes of the den. Please form an orderly line, everyone will get his turn for the savage beating to follow. So: The goal of the system is to allow all players to participate in any skill checks, and have a reasonably...
