The Gaming Den

I don't even know how this happened, but I'm participating in a DnD 4e game. My DM says he's found a way to embed warforged components in normal living races (practically creating implants) and challenged me to find it as well. I'm not very fluent in DnD 4 (like at all), so I need help (asking for h...

Edit: Also, you talk about how bad the people are who now control the game, and didn't mention the run to kill Jewish ghosts and steal the scalpel the Nazis used to cut up Jewish people during the holocaust? I mean, I would be surprised if you could name anything that is too terrible for at least o...

Pre-alpha rule set here, if anyone wants:

Did some digging. How much I have missed!
And... wow, some people do have boring lifes if they need all this drama to keep them going

Who is shitmuffin again?

As far as I can tell we are not getting a new edition for the tabletop. The promise of a new metaplot and the promise of a new tabletop edition seem to be complete vaporware. All we have so far is some videos promising that they are the true Edgelords and also that people who play D&D are a bun...

So, pretty much standard WW business.
At least we're getting a new edition for the tabletop, right?

Thanks for the links, going full on read mode

When Deathwatch RPG first came out, I was rather hyped about a squad-based tactics rpg game. Sadly DW turned out to be... not as good as one could have hoped. But are there any such games that are worth playing?

Fiasco is only as good as the players playing it, which doesn't say a lot about the quality of the game.
But the image is fun!

Of course we base our imagination on something, usually something that surrounds us. but it's no excuse for having a game set in not-too-sistant future be 'our everyday life with cosmetic changes'. We have a lot of guidelines, some set even in the setting itself, that help guide us in the right dire...

If you want, I can send you a point-by-point blow by blow by PM a week from now of what really happened behind the scenes in that chapter and why. Would love to read it! The tl;dr of Lightning in Denver is: Harlequin and Puck invent analogues to Occupy and Anonymous in Shadowrun and then use them a...

How long did it take to move, roll attack/defense, remove casualties for that green tide? I've only played in 1500ish at most A full turn takes about an hour of real time. Apocalypse timinf the turns is a real thing - you have to be fast about your actions. Usually other players help you move minis...

That really sucks... Don't know hat to add

It's like Chronicles of Amber. Some amberites believe that their ability to travel shadows creates worlds. Others believe that there is an infinite number of worlds and they can travel to any they can imagine. All agree that it ultimately doesn't matter. But they agree that the worlds exists in a w...

But the bottom line is that Spirits behave in all measurable ways like the spirits of place that shamanistic worldviews predict, but the game refuses to say unequivocally that this is in fact what is actually happening. -Username17 So, can I summon a spirit to be vitness in court? Can i summon it t...

While we are at magic, what are spirits in shadowrun exactly? Maybe i was reading rulebooks with my ass ( a possibility), but i couldn't quite get it. Are spirits sentient? Do they have personalities (besides free spirits)? Do they have true free will (free spirits or not)? Can I summon the same spi...

"Lightning In Denver" Oh, that's an interresting part. Can you tell how this chapter came out to be what it was and what actually happened there (in setting)? Because when I read it, it seemed like a big mess of everyone doing something and end up doing nothing. Unfortunately, can't remem...

Rolling big piles of d6s isn't the slow part of fucking Warhammer 40k . And that's a game where you seriously roll 40 d6s at a time. It's just not that hard. It's nowhere near as time consuming as like rolling on charts or measuring base to base distances and shit. You can shave time off resolution...

Sooo that's pretty much like video game development worked here ten years ago. Then this whole fund yourself thing happened. Why the same didn't happen with rpgs? Everyone can write a game. You did it, i did it, my friend does it for a living right now (well, mostly translating other games, but still)

Then we all turn in drafts, except some people turn theirs in super late or not at all and someone has to write a chapter in a crazy hurry or whatever the fuck. Then we all have the ability to look at the drafts for proofreading and/or suggestions. Some people do, other people don't give no fucks a...

Don't do that. But probably a significant amount. During the period when I was getting fed insider information from a number of angry freelancers and company investors, Hardy and co spent a good deal of effort trying to find the traitors. I don't recall much effort to allow people who had been accu...

Soooooo they fire people for expressing personal opinions, on a board not associated with their brand, under a pseudonym that has been, until now, unconnected to their professional life within that company? Not surprised at all, considering AH got banned off the freelancer boards for expressing an ...

I think the whole Eye of Terror campaign pretty much didn't happen by now. The outcome was ignored and swept under the rug. Guess that's what you get when SM don't have their day

Very much depends on the game. Probably Stjepan Sejic. Or Giger if I go full crazy
