The Gaming Den

I haven't whined about anything, you're just making yourself look even m ore stupid by doubling down on the behaviour already shown. If you think i haven't engaged with this forum then you obviously didn't read the post that began this thread. Out of 73 posts in this thread, 12 of them are you whin...

Honestly, focusing on the 'feels' is just going off topic. You made the statement that there was no misogyny, i explained how there was. Feels has nothing to do with it. This topic went off topic when the abuse started. You seemed to ignore that. So instead of maybe not being a passive-aggressive w...

You're not really getting it are you.

He's right in being a massive misogynistic abusive asshole? Please explain I wanted to consider carefully before I responded. It seems to me that in referring to his comment as misogynistic, you might yourself be a misogynist. Anyone, regardless of gender, can suck a cock. I don't think that a man ...

And yet you continue to post.

Claiming that L5R is racist certainly is weird. Unfounded nonsense spouted by paranoid idiots. Are you sure you're not john tarnowski?

If you're not interested in replies to the topic you started, you might consider fucking off. Or, you know, accept that you contributed to the deterioration of this thread (like with your prior post) and focus on salvaging something from it by actually responding. What replies should I be intereste...

Well, you have been sitting in my ignore list, together with shadzar and silva, so at some point here you wrote something that marked you as a terrible and uninteresting human being.

It's how it works, sorry.

fuck off then.

Your initial question is very nebulous and doesn't really help at anything let alone on game design. Then even with that clarification there is no point of reference to go from. You didn't describe anything that you want the game to achieve or what you can considered good games already or even bad ...

Kaelik is not only right, he's extremely right. Not nice, but right. Here's the thing - you can't really ask the question you've asked and hope to get anything out of it. Well, I mean, you could, but it'd be us designing a game for you to use. If you want to design a game, you want to seek feedback...

With your vast experience, solid understanding of math, self-awareness and communication skills, I'm sure it will be a smashing success. What was the point of posting that? Get a life. The points was to emphasize that you are a failure in literally ever aspect and that you suck dick, and that you a...

OK cool your jets, I didn't mention anything because i didn't see the point. As it goes i'm trying to design a system.

But if you want to design your own game, your first question shouldn't be "what are the best mechanisms out there ?" but "what are the best mechanisms for the game I want?". A mechanism that's perfect for one game might be totally absurd or counter-effective in another one. I ag...

Lately I've been playing a fair bit of Deathwatch. In this game you play a Space Marine - elite warriors in the galaxy with the best equipment. The system relies on a d100 roll under system. For example, I'm a Devestator (ranged attacker) and my ballistics skill is 72. Fully 1/4 of the time, I miss...

What about the system used in ICONS? The d6-d6 variant of Fate.

That seems a good idea. Opposed actions can be conducted relatively easily and intuitively and everything can operate on a single scale. So an attack can be made using Fight vs Defence, stats that are fairly transparent.

Roll under is a nice idea, but it fails horribly IMO at opposed actions.

OK cool your jets, I didn't mention anything because i didn't see the point. As it goes i'm trying to design a system.

Brized was pointing out that I already explained 'what was so great about that system'. Specifically, I said 'it has a reasonably robust mechanic that empowers players'. But your question seems like an invitation to a worthless time sink of a debate. While not everyone on this board is pro-3.x, the...

Do i need a massive codex covering all possibilities, with stats for everyone and everything, plus maps of everyone and everything?

I've yet to see an rpg that explains how to do this - and do it right.

Or is there a right way at all?

In general, people on this board are fairly pro-3.x. The main reason is that it has a reasonably robust resolution mechanic that empowers players. The Den, in general, is pretty intolerant of vague mechanics that allow the GM to choose any option they want, regardless of the input or success/failur...

What about the Fate system? Is that any good?

Can dice pool systems work?

I never play DnD, least of all 3rd ed. What is so great about that system?

I mean I can't be assed to search for it, but I vaguely remember.

I've no idea. If someone can link it i'll take a look.
