The Gaming Den

I dunno, I kinda like the idea that ley line drift doesn't have to correspond to continental drift, with magic towers and mountians of doom wandering the countryside.

and maybe an obscure tower that gets this giant flash of power for a week once every century and is barely detectable the rest of the time.

Ah, more things for the Aboliths to know about that we don't. Which isn't always a bad thing, mind you.

Why would you feel fatigued for the first hour? You're getting more oxygen than normal. There's a reason why hard-core athletes train at higher altitude than they plan on competing at. You get used to breathing thin stuff, and when you get thicker air, you get more oxygen, which energizes you. (well...

For motorcycles being around, that actually kinda makes sense, somewhat. Poking around the internet, I see that motorcycles tend to run around 60 miles per gallon, but a small car seems peak out at around 40. If you have limited fuel supplies, and little need to transport goods, but a great need to ...

Arguably, red cars get more traffic tickets because they are more visible, or, perhaps in some cases, the cop merely wants to get a better look at your sweet ride and, well, have you ever had a cop pull you over for one thing (which turned out to be okay) and then search and search until they found ...

And what's the real difference between a friend in real life and a friend online? Your friends in real life probably have less in common with you than your friends online, except for geographic location. [br][br]If you define friends as someone that you hang out with often, then hanging out on WoW i...

I can sorta understand having good memories from a tabletop game, since those are at least social [br][br] After playing WoW for about a year, my friends and I joined up with another small guild and headed into The Core. [br][br]So, I guess playing with friends and random strangers in a small guild...

Only because it's potential blackmail material. If your other already knows about it, it's not really a security risk. Just be sure to tell the PI up front, and I doubt it would be an issue.

My favorite answer is about the weave being required for life -- "We never said it was. If we did, we were wrong."

It's weighted.

The damage output will pretty much take care of itself, if you just give the rogues the ability to sneak attack.[br][br]This can mean Glitterdust (if you are blind, everyone else is effectively invisible, and invisible rogues get sneak attack), Grease (flatfooted anybody?), or even summons (flankers...

I'm anti-Skub all the way.

Here's two (safe for work) reasons why people like batman.

I guess it boils down to how to you define a country.[br][br]Same plot of land? Then some place in africa, seems likely to be the oldest 'country' in the world.[br][br]Same ruler? Then USA gets reborn every 4 or 8 years. Monarchies like England get longer, unless you count parliament or the prime mi...

I have absolutely no idea who that person is. A google search tells me about a pakistani leader who was executed in 1979, and wikipedia only talks about a wealthy indian family that was granted lands by the british government. Call me a heathen, but who is this Bhutto?

Nymphomania+Pyromania+Agrophobia.

So you try to have lots and lots of sex outdoors after setting a grass fire? Sounds kinky and dangerous.

Ah, well, nevermind then. I misread.

Duelist CANNOT synergize with TWF.[br][br] Duelist [Combat][br]You wade into heavy melee with nothing but a rapier and some shiny pants, it's seems to work pretty well for you.[br]Benefits: Whenever you use the combat expertise option you gain a +2 Dodge Bonus to AC for every -1 you take on your att...

I'm not surprised. I've seen plenty of books turned movies where they butchered things for no apparent reasons, including doing the exact opposite of the what the book flat out said. For example, in Bicentenial Man, in the book, he explicitly stated he didn't want a wang for sex, he wanted it to be ...

I dunno, 25 damage a round, at level 9? Sounds broken to me. It's so much better than the statistical average of 31.5 damage of an unmodified fireball at level 9.[br][br]I'm not familiar with Residiual Metamagic, but does this require your standard action to activate? If so, then you're probably bet...

Or is that what the spy wants you to think?

I think he thinks cameras are worth a damn at the distances space uses. At least, those without foot-wide (or more) lenses.

Utility devices: What do you want to be able to do that's not combat?[br][br]The first one is obviously non-tactical movement. This must include faster than light travel due to the premise (radio trying to find their radio shell before they find yours). Repairs would also be vital, because you're pr...

Hmm.. I may be misreading the Q&A you posted, but let me paraphrase:[br][br]Q: What will be different at Blizzard Games?[br]A: NOTHING! We won't change our name, games, or the way we operate. We won't even change our design and managerial philosopies. We'll just be more profitable.[br][br]Did I ...

Can you take the same upgrade more than once? For example, can up take blast radius 3 times to have a blast radius of 9 hexes?[br][br]I would assume that you cannot tell a missile to detonate after it's traveled a specific distance, so that you can't have the missile just detonate in the same hex as...
