The Gaming Den

I would take the last argument even further and say that God doesn't award anyone with anything.

And Britian has CCTV to be watched should a murder occur. Perhaps not the most relevant quote to pick from the topic, but this interests me. As you might know, I am Finn, who recently packed his shit and moved to Scotland. One of the most blatant differences (apart from the cars driving on the wron...

The prosperity gospel is often used by its promoters to elicit donations, on the premise that donations will be materially repaid and rewarded via divine intervention. If God wants to give people money thats nice, but he can damn well do it himself. Lazy bastard. Actually, it seems like God wants a...

http://www.fintoys.com/mo_omin_family.jpg and this girl that I used to work with way back in the Kiltie dishroom, whose temperment (and nonconventional appearance) earned her the nickname of "troll" Every Finn here would agree with the last one. There's no real troll in the series, but I'...

Then how the hell is everything in discussions about people. The fuck? Because, you ignorant misanthrope, if you can't deal with people then you can't play games with them. Maybe you're the sort of person that will accept any basement-dwelling morlock to your gaming table, but I generally require t...

Freeform is awesome. In some ways though, it is harder than than games with rules, because it often needs unspoken agreements and a deep understanding of the world. But, then again, if I can play freeform succesfully I am sure anyone can. As PbP, I do not like it too much. I've played it like that a...

Servant horde.

I like it. A lot. My favourite ability here is Tinkered bombs, although giving out 9th level spells at will can seem a bit too powerful. However, the spell choices there are quite decent though, so perhaps I am just not seeing this in proper light. Flux transistor is a neat class feature as well. Th...

The answer is simple. Even Pathfinder fixed or changed all PHB spells any smart Wizard would pick his spells from other books. Pathfinder is supposed to work with other D&D 3.5 books, so you could just take your spells from Spell Compendium, Complete Adventurer or whatever instead of using the n...

I can't tell - I'm drunk again. But were I to make an uneducated guess, I'd say it's one of shadtard's amazingly informative, poignant and intelligent discussions on using and interpreting rules. Someone made a joke, someone seized the opportunity, the rest tagged along with the concept. EDIT: Plea...

A PrC that has the spell progression of Ur-Priest's should make the player feel dirty. Beholder Mage probably should be left out of the debate entirely...

I think Beerfest could and should entail incredibly complex and difficultly pronounced rules and variants so that the closer you are to winning, the harder it gets - after, say, 25 beers, a bottle of tequila and shots of some disgusting, sugary shit - it's supposed to be only marginally possible to...

At least it's hard to complain that the class has a crappy capstone ability.

9- Not all people that claim to be roleplayers are, or know what it is. This goes especially for those who began in the 2 e. Fixed. Thank you for the addition. Don't know any of them myself, so cannot speak for them since I started in the 70's. :razz: Nice try though, but enjoy your fail. ;) Not to...

I sort of followed a buddy of mine here, though he hasn't been active for a while because of academic pursuits. I myself am not planning on being very verbal, mostly due to having little to contribute (not much of a mechanical expert and only have a moderate understanding of higher tier mathematics...

Not alcoholic either. During the last eleven days I have had only 136 beers (0,33 litres a piece). This is the style I've had for a few months.

Kozel is hardly any good though.

And alcoholism is a state of mind.

Does this sink in at all? The European Parliament is such a fucking joke and election turnout is so fucking low that a man can buy his mistress a seat on the European Parliament as a romantic gift. And this isn't hyperbole or something that might happen, that actually did happen. In my neighborhood...

There's more to Deathstroke than his mercenary stuff. The character is pretty neat in comics, at least I find his comics great.

I'll try all beers I can get my hands on. Current favourite is from Scotland, Belhaven's Twisted Thistle.

Whiskey in all forms is my second favourite from alcholic drinks.

I hate Campari and tequila (I still drink it once when I go to a club, it's a rite), but pretty much everything else goes.

Uranium sword?

Long story short: I second Mister Sinister's point of view. Roleplaying a character of extremely high charisma and superb skills of persuasion can be nigh-impossible. I can honestly say that I couldn't sway the minds of random strangers to help or, in many cases, even get discount on items. This is ...

Avoraciopoctules wrote:Ah yes, Star Wars. My perspective on the setting is a bit different than most. I genuinely liked Jar Jar Binks and the fourth (Episode I) movie. I have some fondness for the setting in general. However, there are many things about it that irritate me.

What?

You don't live anywhere near me, but good doctors are always useful. And, honestly, sharing information and opinions is neat.

The central concept revolves around a completely arbitrary across the board division we made called the "mole." The mole is your friend: Hope the people around you haven't started calling moles 'krteks' even if it is a funny character. As a tip of my own, I did relatively advanced chemist...
