The Gaming Den

I came to a similar conclusion a while ago. Pausing the game to search a book for one line of text about a spell's range or whatever is no fun. Neither is spending hours copying down all the minor rules your character might need. I do like the 'gamey' aspect but it wore a little thin when my group w...

The Free Universal RPG system is my preference. There's only one resolution mechanic, and it's always just a few d6. No scrounging for 8 d4's. Character creation is organic. There's no +2 on ranged attacks or +2 will save, your character simply has "Good Aim" or "Strong Will". T...

I've mentioned the Free Universal RPG System before. It has everything you described. You'll have no blank stares while explaining the rules. You'll have no slowdowns due to mechanics. You'll never have to look up anything. It inspires (even first-time) players to create content and become immersed....

I don't see how anyone can call K bad at D&D. I'd like to see your well-known homebrew.

OP, don't let the den's hate-on for rules-light systems discourage you. It sounds like a fine mechanic (I prefer FURPG ). My taste in fantasy heartbreakers has gotten progressively more rules-light. I realize now, the whole point of the game is roleplaying the cool characters/story/setting, and leng...

Do what you're already thinking. Use 2 or 3 dice so it has a nice curve.

I can see why they're saying there's no reason for the cards.

Maybe you can search for the card you want every turn OR draw 2 cards. So you can get your key spell, or get more spells, some of which would fuel your defenses.

146 people paid 100 dollars to get a lower price on the cloud service.
50 people paid 250 dollars to get it 2 months early.
17 people paid 500 dollars.. to beta test this.

All for product they've never used nor read a critical review of.
Kickstarter boggles my mind sometimes.

Jacques's war cry: "Get 'em in the eye-slits!"

I didn't know you could aim for their head in a joust.

So how do you know the DC in FURPG? You either have to look it up in a chart as well, or is it pure MTP? If it is pure MTP, well you could do MTP in "Your system" as well. Just ignore what the chart says. Having a chart of DC's is really helpful, because it allows you to think of similar ...

I really can't recommend FURPG enough. For example: Character creation: In your system a character is, Health 3 Fun 3 Artistry 2 In FURPG a character is, "Good at Sports" and "Friend to Animals" Resolution: Your system, "What is the DC to climb this tree? 3? 4? Check the cha...

I like FURPG.

You mean conjuring, spellcasting, summoning, evoking, divining? Now you're just being difficult.

It's called mundane because the actions taken are mundane. Swinging a sword. Grappling.

Sorry, I didn't mean to butthurt anybody by using a commonplace word we all know the meaning of.

Why do you all have to eat a dick a day by using the stupid term mundane, which is shitty and means the exact opposite of you mean instead of just giving them a power source of any fucking kind and shutting up about it? Kaelik, you're entire argument is the semantics of the word mundane. It's point...

GOD. DAMN. Being able to punch through steel or create earthquakes by stomping is a superpower it may be a shitty Charles Atlas superpower but it's still a superpower. Why do you conksuckers have such huge boners for shitty character concepts. What are you talking about? I want earthquake punching....

Why is there another thread about what is-and-isn't mundane?

Just use the terms Actually Mundane and Mundane Enough.

Of course causing an earthquake isn't Actually Mundane. The point is that Actually Mundane can't play in the same game as wizards above level 2.

Let me fix that typo for you. *Tome Wizard Not Mundane No Way.

Hold on, DR, Fast Healing, Immune to Death effects...? *Tome Magical Mage Magus Magician

No you dumb shit, I am saying that punching a fucking ghost with your non magic fists is not cool or interesting, it is punching a physical object, like a demon, or a golem. It is cool because not everyone can do it. You're so badass, when you swing your sword, the ethereal plane gets hit too becau...

No one cares about how you want to fap to how you are totally capable of punching ghosts without being magical in a world full of magic. If you want to play at the big boy table, have a power source. Exactly. It is a magical world full of magic. How else would beowulf fight sea monsters in the godd...

ITT we have to differentiate 'actually mundane' from mundane enough because Kaelik forgot people are usually talking about Mundane Enough.

Punching ghosts is awesome.

The Sleep Clause specifically and obviously shrinks the metagame. I don't see how you could even argue differently. I don't see how this is obvious or evident at all. How would needing to have more sleep counters expand the metagame? Now I have to replace good items with berries; replace good moves...

Again, Breloom is Speed 70, which is slightly below average. How did you manage to put the entire enemy team to sleep before they could act? And if you did that, don't you think your opponent might have deserved it, coming into a Pokemon battle with zero pokemon with an even average speed value? Wi...

On sleep: the only 100% effective sleep move is Spore, which is only available for Parasect and Shroomish. Shroomish evolves into an OU pokemon. I have 2 brelooms and have put whole teams to sleep. It's not fun for anyone. Yes, there are ways to counter sleep.. Yes, it's clunky to institute weird b...

The game is more fun being played the way it was made, the single player way. This is exactly wrong. The single player game is a chore. It's so unbelievably boring. That's why you don't like battling. The single player game is "press A six hundred thousand times with your charizard". Batt...
