Re: D&D Movie

It is a fuckin low bar, but I did honestly enjoy the movie and have a lot of fun in the watching. I think I've watched it once again at home and still enjoyed it. I don't get out to the movie theatre too much anymore. I think other 2023 movies I saw were Equalizer 3 (this was a piece of garbage movi...

With the "Whoosh"?

It's missing the point (I dunno if that is actually an eye and not a chakram or something). Wherein the point, I think, was that Path of War was an attempt to correct some martial/caster disparity.

Re: [5e] Rules for damaging (magic) items

Resistance is half damage. And current rules I think make no distinction between attended and unattended items so no distinction between whether an AoE hits items. Area attacks in 5e by RAW just destroy everything worn and carried so fights go naked very fast at higher levels. Therefore this change ...

We have many longtime members. Could some of us be given moderator status to ban the bots n delete their threads? I don’t post often anymore but I don’t want to see the place overrun by spambots.

Re: Move Based Deterministic Narrative Fighting Game

Ah, so several misconceptions leaves my analysis void. The Schroedinger's token assignment was intentional tho since I was intending to see if there was a line of attack where one or the other could guarantee victory even against perfect hard-counters. With defense it actually becomes more nebulous ...

I was plotting out optimal outcomes for a duel of an old master and young prodigy... YP opens with an Attack 4 x2 (with the intent that opponent either runs away with Defense 3, or wastes 4 tokens to tie or 5 to win, or they lose 1 HP with 0 tokens spent, they cannot afford to lose 1st round since Y...

Re: [Tome] Rogue

An update. Or Tome Shadow Rogue 2.0 if you will... Rogue 2.0 I've been playing rogues and such and their damage per round with TWF is just stupidly high. And in the last years I grew disillusioned with combat feats, deciding they weren't the way. So this version of rogue focuses more on being able t...

Re: D&D Movie

I look forward to seeing the movie again. My dad took my kids to see it a few days ahead of me, so that meant I got to watch it with several of my gaming buddies instead. Great movie, lots of fun.

Re: Discord Server for discussing D&D 3.5 and Stuff that's compatible with it like Tome and Pathfinder

Rad speaks true. Using his downloaded den he was able to quickly find stuff that I had been unable to pull up using google site search. Makes me wonder if the lazy google overlords didn't bother to index the entire message board.

If you have autologin then the password is saved in your browser. Should be able to check it from Preferences and then probably a sub-menu like Security.

To follow up... It's not nonsense, it is just an unsupported conclusion That's two different things then is it. Yes. Like the difference between a logical fallacy and a mistaken premise. One is an error in process, the other is an error in data. I took nonsense to be an implied error in process as i...

Re: So the OGL drama hey

It's not nonsense, it is just an unsupported conclusion because it is inconclusive without knowing what the total numbers of pdfs/books sold was. So yes, if 3.x has massively more book sales than then 5e's pdf sales then they can make comparatively more profit than pdf sales despite worse margins. L...

Re: So the OGL drama hey

I am definitely assuming 5e has sold a bunch of their core books. Still, I concur that it is probable that 3.x had more revenue… but profit is presumably what the overlords care about. Selling PDFs with about 100% margins beats the piss out of books with 40% margins. Do they give PDFs free with the ...
