The Gaming Den

No, the Mialee picture is poorly drawn. The tiefling picture is well drawn.

That doesn't excuse the fact that it doesn't clearly depict its subject, though. Like ... It just looks like a purple lady. If I saw it without the heading, I wouldn't know it's supposed to be a tiefling.

If he gamed with a bunch of black people who were totally fine with him calling them "my slaves" or "my [EDITED]" I would still be repulsed (even more so, no offense women,) regardless of how they felt about it. Um, "girls" doesn't have anywhere near that sort of ethic...

Don't agree. Better analogy would be someone who doesn't care about the line-up and pre-match banter. Hmm... I think the draft might be an even better comparison. It has nothing to do with the actual game itself, not really. But people can get as into the draft as they do the game itself, because t...

They thought they were downgrading the Incantatrix, actually, since their primary goal was fixing the spell dancer shenanigans.

One word of caution about Deus Ex HR: I don't know how the director's cut changed things, but in the original version playing a stealth-oriented character basically boned you for the boss fights.

Specifically, I found the apparent active hostility towards the types of people who enjoyed 3e and 4e to be interesting. You mean inasmuch as it is precisely the active hostility towards the types of people who enjoyed 3e that was deployed at the onset of the 4e marketing push? The fact that people...

To be a little less silly, if two of them get in a fight (regardless of what magical knowledge they had beforehand, now a mad Illusionist and a mad Conjurer become the same Nothic), it takes 14 rounds for one of them to beat the other one down. But they will nearly always figure each other's secret...

That's probably due to load orders being overwritten by the skyrim launcher. Most people playing the game end up avoiding the launcher in most circumstances, since it tends to mess with all sorts of settings we'd prefer to have direct control over. Lesson: don't use the skyrim launcher. Instead, use...

SkyUI is pretty much a necessity, though. So whatchagonnado.

Someone was even kind enough to do a conversion of my mod so that it's compatible with Skyrim Redone.

I don't particularly care for SkyRe, but whatevs.

If you use the nexus mod manager, you don't have to muck with files...

My steam favorites list is incomplete, since most of the things you really, really want are only available on the nexus. You should also get Quality World Map, Ultimate Follower Overhaul, Unread Books Glow, any one of the ENBs, Achieve That, SkyTEST, Lanterns of Skyrim, Coverwomen, Warzones, and Liv...

*cough* invested magic *cough*

Also skyui. While it has its own redo of the favorites menu, I find Categorized Favorites Menu much better.

Also the Paarthurnax Fix.

Also 3d NPCs.

I'll copy paste my mods list when I get home.

This was supposed to be the everything to everybody edition. 4E players basically had 2 desires. 1) Don't make a game where somebody has to play a cleric. and 2) Don't make a game where only casters are interesting and everything else sucks. 5E does neither of these so 4E players are rightly pissed...

So. Metro Last Light. You had me at "sequel to post-apocalyptic supernatural sci-fi Russian awesome game I totally loved." Why did you then fuck up the gfx optimization to the point that my average FPS count is 18, when Crysis 3 was running at a buttery 60? Now I have to put you into the d...

I actually don't know what the roll and keep probabilities are supposed to represent in-world. Every extra die you keep increases maximum and minimum and average and variance. Every extra die you roll increases average, decreases variance, and has no effect on minimum or maximum. That's... really f...

It did answer the question. I'm posting in a pathfinder thread not a 3.5 one. Pathfinder completely changed how ability bonuses, penalties, damage etc. works. And that Pathfinder FAQ changed it again. Yes, temporary bonuses are treated the same as permanent bonuses, but that just pushes the questio...

Huh?!? I though it the temp. bonus rule was here for two reasons : avoid bugs with Cha/day abilities like lay on hand (and most classes have such ability) and avoid rayon-of-enfeeblement-paralysis. So now I have no idea how this interact with Cha/day abilities like lay on hand. That isn't even a ch...

Hands are good for climbing, moving things, etc. They aren't just for tool use. Now, giving them humanlike hands is[ kinda silly.

That'd be because almost every single disad is described with "whenever" or "every time". Given the context, one is entitled to read that as meaning "any situation in which this happens counts toward getting the Destiny from a disadvantage, which you can get once per session...

And yet if it was in the XP chart in the MC chapter, it wouldn't be a huge deal. Showing up: 1xp Accomplishing at least one minor goal: 1xp Accomplishing a major (multi-session) goal: 3xp Exceptional teamwork: 1xp Being hindered by a disadvantage: 1xp That's on page 341. But because the book was la...

The number of disads a character can have is limited. Starting characters can have two . Gaining disads is not something you can do under your own power unless you have some serious Daoist chops. (Or through some otherwise uninteresting loresheets, requiring the expenditure of Destiny.) But if you h...

The disads you can take include: Cowardly (gain points for not letting the party fight), Narcolepsy (force the party to deal with you being unconscious), Temperamental (you fly into a rage on a failed check, may attack your friends), Unwholesome (make NPCs instantly dislike you and therefore the pa...

The creation of a custom move is an addition to the system, and thus implicitly accepts as true the critique Nope, the creation of custom moves are the default method for differentiating threats. By the default rules, the GM must assign at least 1 custom move for each threat. But the optional moves...
