The Gaming Den

There's no Master List, but there is a list of the most common extraordinary abilities in the back of the Monster Manual. This is what I assume the Sarrukh designers expected people to draw from. No. The designers expected the Sarrukh to be the domain of DMs. They expected DMs to have plots involvi...

"Yes, Mr. Tarnowski, your rage against 3.0 Wizards is so justified... *gargle gargle*"

All these new posters, lately. Where did we get linked? Apparently at least one of them is a goon, but some of them are turning up to disagree with the goon, so I'm not sure it's SA. I've been lurking a LONG time but avoiding posting because TGD is a collection of the most frustrating and infuriati...

The problem with Grognards.txt is that you have a few pages of legitimately funny stuff and gaming horror stories, then you get a section where the 4E fanboys post half the contents of TGD, MinMaxBoards, and GitP and have a circle jerk over how inferior 3.5 fans are.

Yeah, this is pretty good Trollman satire right here. But semantics are extremely important to the topic at hand. If you define magic as everything supernatural you are going to have a really hard time coming up with any sort of mythic hero that doesn't use D&D-type magic to ascend to those lev...

So, I'm curious - what about the Bo9S classes? Are they all explicitly magical? Yes. Also... Anything God does is magic. Anything you do by invoking God is magic. Anything you can do because a demon and a dragon Eiffel Towered your grandmother is magic. Essentially, anything unscientific is magic. ...

Veri, Ignoring for the moment that you're here to troll for the goon squad, let's consider your proposition for a moment. You're saying that: 1. Wizards should get reality-warping powers based on being scrawny little nerds who study a lot. 2. Fighters should get equivalent reality-warping powers (li...
