The Gaming Den

Boy, a lot of people are suddenly going to become educated about the anti-protest bills that got passed during the Dakota Access Pipeline fiasco. What, you thought those apply to white people? That's the funniest shit I heard all morning. It gives the pigs and excuse, and cover for when the murder ...

Pelosi says they can't do Congress through Zoom because it's a Chinese entity.\ Now, 1) Obviously don't do Congress through Zoom because it's a PRIVATE entity, duh. 2) You don't actually need to do it through a fucking face app, you could fucking call in or email or whatever the fuck. But you could...

I'd let downtime be a way to rack up social bonuses. So the guy who goes back go his castle and manages his lands gets bonuses with nobles, and the guy who smiths in a community get bonuses with the commoners. I'd agree with something like this. Adventuring gets you weapons and bonuses to adventuri...

Card Hunter I think? It's been a while... If it's not expensive to walk around someone there's really no point. That one does. I remember surrounding someone and taking turns hitting them so they couldn't block. Although unless someone has a block card, facing doesn't actually matter, it does still...

How do you get "first time offender status" when you committed thousands of counts of the same crime?

I was more disappointed by the unfulfilled promise of "high 5e."

Thanks, I'll let him know.

Hopefully he'll have better luck with them than I did.

Remember when back in February UK companies outright banned their workers from wearing masks? Meanwhile in the USA people who still get to go to work but wear a mask are getting straight-out fired. So hmmm, yeah, good luck containing it like that. I am being required to wear one (reasonable), and a...

thanks all. I think being a language nerd with French, Spanish and Japanese classes in the background (even with no actual fluency in them) was my hinderance here. These are a lot better. Also, related to the origin of your question, are your players familiar with ray cats? They're a theoretical ca...

Because reading is haaaaaard , and finding TTRPGs which really do organic growth is hard too. Speaking of which, do you know of any? I've been fantasizing about how I'd write one recently, but haven't bumped into much that already exists, at least not with organic growth that actually makes charact...

Ok, so here's a weird one. Is anyone here particularly good at creating nonsense english? I'm working on a one shot that involves the far future descendants of humanity having to fight radioactive zombies, and having to travel to a long term nuclear waste storage site. The characters should not kno...

Shadowrun 4 Movement rules: With normal people it's simple: When walking you use the speed on the left of the slash, when running you use the speed on the right of the slash, sprinting increases the right number. But how does it work with Vehicles? They got an Acceleration of X/Y and a Speed of Z. ...

That really stretches the meaning of the word "mainly". "I ate mainly fatty foods with no nutritional value, if you ignore all of the vitamins, protien shakes, vegetables, milk..."

Is it fair reasonable to classify Christianity as a death cult? I mean, the last books of their holy text are all about the end of the world and how that's a good thing . Some of their advocates are just crazy people talking about end times, and that's the extent of what they do - maybe they encour...

Yes, I probably have at least 20 years of healthy living ahead of me, so my life is worth more than £500,000, but I’ll be the exception. It sounds like he's challenging people, or at least nature, to take him out yet this week. "Voters" include the brainless goo-people hoarding lavatory p...

Yeah, they didn't quite manage 10x what they were going for within 24 hours.

Apparently Frosthaven won't be just an expansion to Gloomhaven, but all characters will be compatible with both versions.

I'm not even up on Shadowrun, how are they far right? There's probably a thread about it, but aside from the way current-day racial stereotypes are handled (not always great, and worse more recently), there were some comments about politics from a lot of people on the team. Most obvious was the def...

For an example, in case some folks don't have access... Another reader wrote of being penalized by her DM because she was a Cleric and had the misfortune (as it turned out) to become pregnant. The DM said that Lawful Good Clerics didn’t do that sort of thing, he forced the character to undergo a ch...

That's hilarious, Prak, but it's even worse in the Mormon church (and yes. I'm fucking calling them Mormons even though their dipshit prophet said not to). Their prophet was also a pedophile married to a 12-year-old, so... I've been a mental mess lately given that the one year anniversary of Ess dy...

Asking ONE PERCENT of that price for this broken piece of garbage would be still unreasonable expectations on the side of the seller . .

On the other hand, raising the price like that does prevent people from buying it, which is a good thing.

OgreBattle wrote:So is China lying about their numbers now

I don't think I'm aware of a country who isn't lying about their numbers, hiding them by doing no regular testing, or just has no idea what the numbers are. So, probably?

A more general "What's going on with TTRPGs these days?" Whitewolf made some kind of comeback, Shadowrun has had 2 absolute shit editions after their best 2 editions, D&D has had 2 shit editions in a row after a promising edition, and everyone (especially the 3 I already listed) is run...

I just started playing Circadian Dice , a dice builder (like a deck builder, but more streamlined) rpg. Each die has 6 sides, which are different based on your class. Generally your first 2 dice are just 1 attack, 1 defense, 1 money, 1 gem (used to activate special powers), and probably another 1 at...
