Test your code before commiting or you may make a big mistake



Anyways, hiya!

Shin Sekai Yori. Few shows have been able to make me think as much, from the implications of PK to the level your typical shonen shows in actual society, to the kind of measures you'd need to go down to actually maintain a society with a semblance of stability, to actually rooting for the fucking ev...

In the Dark Spire DS dungeon crawler, Thief+Priest makes you a ranger. That makes a lot of sense, actually. While Ranger was originally a Fighter subclass in D&D, rangers are definitely more Thief-ish thematically, with their light armor, stealth capabilities, focus on studying creature weaknes...

I guess there is a lot of truth to that old proverb - be careful what you wish for. Personally, I actually like "muh J.R.R. Tolkien based fantasy", so my main problem with AoS is that while the sculpts are of very high quality, they just don't do it for me. I was hoping they'd get back to ...

This is a lovely misspelling, as it takes the translation of my username from "Hell Buddha" to (very loosely) "In Hell, The Revolution Will Not Be Affordable"

Errrrr... I guess I'm sorry? That sounds hilarious, so I don't really feel sorry...

So, GW killed Warhammer fo' real a few years ago. The biggest clustefuck ever happened when a bunch of neckbeards saw the game they used to play scrapped and replaced by MTP-the wargame. Some years have gone by and a few people still play fantasy wargames. As far as I know the most popular are: -The...

In the end, everything goes back to the idea of a win condition not based on crushing the other side. But I still feel that to a degree, if there is a some level of direct interaction between players, it can be reduced to "build board state, wreck opponent's board state, last board standing win...

Use of heartbreaker is kinda vexing terminology in this context since you want something people have found and played but usually for me heartbreaker means something that didn’t get published either due to being a failure to complete or failure to be worth publishing. TBH, in this case I was actual...

The old Middle-earth CCG had traces of this. Each player played as one of the wizards, and most of the interaction between players was through throwing hazards to others while you tried to reach mount doom first to destroy the ring. You could win either through wining first or by being the last man ...

A few things that I like about 5e in general: -I like the action model and usage better than the one in 3.5. The Full Attack action in particular always felt wrong in all kinds of ways, and the way the swift action was used in 3.5 is all kinds of inconsistent, with some classes not using it at all a...

What have you been GMing that "fantasy heartbreaker" qualifies as something different than usual? I'm asking for a change of system, not theme. The one I'm gm'ing right now is a planescape ripoff, but I decided to throw a game for a friend of mine who hasn't played in a long time and is h...

Hey there, new user here (I've been actually lurking here for way longer, but never had the guts to actually come and say something), so it's new user's inane topic time. I'm in the mood to GM something different than usual, so I'm looking for inspiration. The last weird thing I played was Dungeons:...
