The Gaming Den

How's the combat feel in saltsanc, you fought any other players? I'm not sure if you can fight other players or not, though I know there is an item to PvP with your Local Co-op teammate. Either way if it is possible, it's not something I've tried or would be interested in. The Combat plays out in s...

Last Week came out a game on PS4 (get a PC release later) called Salt & Sanctuary . Think 2D Dark Souls, which stylistically, and to some degree mechanically it does resemble a Souls game. I'd definitely recommend it to Maxus to check out, since I know he likes Souls-games quite a bit. It's by S...

Could actually serve to bring other titles back to prominence, and if profits were there, maybe even revive a game line temporarily. Course that's just me being hopeful, but I hope they give us obscure RPG's bundled up to consider. I was sad I missed the Shadowrun 4th edition bundle, and maybe the O...

They don't count as magical, but they do have AP 1/2, which drops down the hardened armor by 1/2 as well, which makes it much easier to hurt the spirit. I thought they hit spirits because its Electric damage, and not physical? Though the Armor Piercing also makes it viable that they'll be hurt by i...

It's a pity these threads which people spewed such spittle likely long since deleted at this point. Least in regards to the Pathfinder-playtests of yore, I would've liked to see the hate toward him, likely based in ignorance.

I figured he was talking about playing this game to get laid in meatspace (much like why people played Vampire LARPS). Thusly, was wanting to find out he can make the experience tolerable, coast on that knowledge while boning. So I am disappointed it involved nothing to do with fondling at all.

If this were so easy, wouldn't Frank and K have finished the Tomes? Quite, they've even gone on record as saying it would take writing 500-900 pages (no exaggeration) just to balance 3rd edition. Hence why you need to start anew in lot of places. For one thing, do you want Rocket-tag to be the norm...

Name them. I'll bet you I can point to a poster who enjoys whatever game you point at. 4e D&D (Yes, I know its not a real RPG, Skill-Challenges never worked, It's "Kill Orcs" for 30 levels, Padded Sumo, and Item Wishlists are required BS. If can past that and the railroad mentality, I...

It's not that the Den HATES ALL GAMES, HATES ALL RPGS. It's moreso we don't look back (nor forward) at games we do care about with rose-tinted beer goggles like so many do. We understand there are problems with the games that we like, and therefore we discuss those, and how can improve them for futu...

As I recall from Frank's experience, if ye don't take control of a Zombie Chimera for everyone to surprise-attack flying-archer people, ya'll gonna die.

To any consolation, PoliteNewb did a quasi-review about the product, and has access to houserules he made for the game. I plan to get it someday, even if just to check out the Noble House rules which are supposed to be pretty good in their details. Otherwise, I do want to roleplay in that setting sp...

Steam Sales, Shoes, cups, and Shadow of the Demon Lord physical books for me.

For Steam Sales I got: Hotline Miami 2, Hand of Fate, and Crypt of the Necrodancer

Making this thread more useful, how does one avoid getting bored or "eyes glossed" when trying to read a given RPG book? I've had this issue when I go to a hobby shop and just read/skim whatever they have on shelf. I think part of it is lack of fancy art (much as I don't feel it should be ...

I knew that name sounded familiar somewhere, I actually do own Hostage of Zir (or least one of those books in that series).

simply started to laugh and mock at them for "walking softly at their feets tips like little girls". So...they were being mocked for not trying to be stealthy? The very thing that Vikings actually do? The notion that vikings just charged you head on is pretty silly, any warrior in that ag...

So I guess they're all borderline useless without the close eyes of a Druid watching over them. Even then...it just seems like you guys are really BAD. Though maybe I haven't played in true low level game in a long time. I think you guys maybe should get double WBL, to mitigate the incompetence. Ot...

It isn't interesting, and it makes encounters very hard to design for them. I get from a design perspective this is a bad thing, and its difficult to achieve parity (albeit you'd think it would just be a math problem away from a fix, since they have avg HP values of monsters). However, the current ...

They are actually convinced that they have no other choice but to do that and that "they're only playing their character". Seriously, to hell with these fans, these guys need a rude awakening into the 2000's of player empowerment. That was awesome, PC's should get to be like Brabak at som...

Some of that already shows here, but there's also things that make you wonder where it all went downhill. I hope that it was an enjoyable read nevertheless, that the people familiar with DSA got the rant we're all looking for and that the people unfamiliar with DSA got an entertaining and comprehen...

Well, you've just sold me on DSA setting. I only need to learn German now, and find a group. Same here, though I've been a bit into it when I played an action game that seemingly using some of the Tabletop RPG's mechanics (if so, makes sense that granular junk adapts well to something a computer ha...

Not really, or depends what you mean by "New" I suppose. Koumei seems to have it right, even as 2-ish years ago, there were companies like Square Enix calling their Tomb Raider et-al, flops.

Stop being this guy Aryxbez. I mean, you are doing a slightly different version, but you are basically this guy. Some people want to make certain characters, especially in a game in a universe they have played multiple characters before. The inability to make those characters is a perfectly valid c...

Entirely baseless? that's incorrect. While having 12 more points for stats is in fact "more options", the 21 (or 28 including 1 minimum) has been shown to be enough to make a character who specializes. Complaining the game isn't doing the 40 points (I.E what's been done before, hence "...

Since Hadanelith never at any point complained about it and has 65 total posts on the den, it was certainly reasonable to assume that you were referring to the two people actually complaining about it, IE, Cham and I. While yes I said "you guys" therefore could be construed to include you...

You are an idiot. I literally explained the reason for the change in my post, it just also doesn't do much of anything, and I'm not going to grind 42 levels just to up my stats, which is what I would be going from level 50-82 anyway. I was referring to the people quoted (I.E. Chamomile & Hadane...
