The Gaming Den

I don't think "gender" is the appropriate word for this kind of game, as some minorities out there could find it offensive somehow and start a shitfest because... yes.

I hate Windows 10, but I'm not brave enough to go back to 8.1. Hell.

A new mouse.

No one picked up Valkyrie Drive?

Maybe it can be useful: http://fate-srd.com/

Sounds like a real "old-school experience."

A dicepool game is especially bad about splitting hairs with character abilities. While in a curved or flat RNG against a TN it is perfectly OK to have the default of a character be zero (or +0, as it were), in a dice pool game your value sets the amount of dice rolled. So all defaults have to be p...

That's what Risus does, and it is very interesting how they take the obvious Spiral of Death.

http://www.therpgsite.com/showthread.php?t=31286 The most basic of searches would have given some data on the game. Looks like there's some degree of strucuture to it, but it's mostly a rules-lite storygame. Image links from the review above: Character Description http://www.modiphius.com/uploads/1...

Dead thread? Dead thread.

Marmot Special If you and another character have sex, you both take -1forward for shame, unless they’re also a marmot or it’s true love. If you and another character have sex, roll+current fat reserves. On a hit, you’re pregs. On a 10+, with a litter of 4–6. On a 7–9, with a litter of 1–3. If they ...

I wouldn't replace them with anything, personally. Sex moves are a huge part of the color of Apocalypse World. Everything's about disconnection and decay, right? Your holding is your holding, and it's fucking dangerous to get to another place, and maybe those people will welcome you— but more likel...

See? That's how someone uses hope. With R. Where are people getting the rape thing from? I literally don't remember a single reference to rape in the book. Well, apart from mind-rape. Not only that, but someone on the forum asked him about rape and the "sex moves" and he said that rape pro...

Yep. I'm just giving him hope. With R. Capital R.

Because he isn't a puppet of the developers: he's using the game as he wants, not like a mindless doll. Saying this is the same as playing chess and saying "I wont move my Bishop diagonally because I'm not a mindless doll". Which is bullshit. If a given game's instruction manual says its ...

What compels anyone to play as a halfling other than game mechanics? I can understand the appeal of dwarves as caricatures of squat miners and grumpy grandpas but the halfling... I'd rather have the small sneak species be kobolds or goblins. Player: "Ok, now I'm a loli!" GM: "Nice......

I'm not certain whether that counts as a quality of the product or not. If it's the only thing you showed to them, then no, quality isn't a factor here. If they did looked for other games and stick with this because "that's the only one we didn't had a quarrel over rules", then it's becau...

Someone is doing a Skies Fate Core game. I don't know if he is still with the project ongoing, only if someone check the G+ Fate community for it.

Now pick a Kender, throw him or her on WoD and let a Malkavian turn him or her into a... Malkavian Kender!

What do you do now?

For the first time, i agree with this crazy old guy. Probably i'm wrong, heh.

I wouldn't call Ice a minion. His version of crazy argument is: I just won't use any of the elements from the book and then it can be fun! While I'm pretty sure silva's whole thing is that the game is good and people are just misunderstanding it. That's only a feel , not an accusation or anything s...

I feel that this debate was, once more, derailed and destroyed by silva and his minions.

What happens when you try to sneak into an area where there are no enemies? Do you still make a roll? It depends. What has the GM prepped for the area ? Do enemies live in there ? What are the players intention for sneaking into it ? Just pass through? Search for something ? Sabotaging ? Before ask...
