The Gaming Den

Anime tends to break down pure melee vs. melee OR spellcaster vs. spellcaster. I mean, Afro-samurai or Claymore is straight stabby guys vs stabby guys. Inuyasha has everyone shooting high-end blasting regardless of whether they happen to be holding a sword (Inuyasha) or not (Naraku), though the NPC...

and no one ends up feeling like Krillan at the end of a game session. Krillan's a bad example for the Fighter/wizard problem since strictly speaking Krillan had more or less the same number of gimmicks and powers as Goku. The only real difference between them was pure stats and the number of dice t...

Seriously. Setting up a singularity-warp combo was ridiculously difficult, because while waiting on warp to come back my teammates would just shoot the guy to death. And even when I did, it barely hurt anybody else around. Killing people down to health is not hard. Stripping armor and defenses is h...

I mean, if Inuyasha is any indicator, the BBEG can raise the dead, shoots blasts, control demons, stab people, create wards, and dispels magic. In Inuyasha, Naraku can pretty much do whatever he wants because he's the antagonist and can do whatever is demanded by the author for a given episode. But...

Here's what Something Awful had to say about FATAL.

So what impresses me over Mass Effect 2 over Mass Effect 1 is how they enforce different playstyles for the classes I've seen so far. When I play an infiltrator and I can't cure someone's ear infection with the judicious application of a tactical cloak and a sniper round, I'm not doing it right. If...

So it turns out that getting an ISBN costs $125. That's bad. On the other hand, I can apparently put it on Amazon for sale without one. That's good. But Amazon has price minimums based on how large the file is, so the price for the pdf may be $1.99 or even $2.99. That's bad. -Username17 Do an onlin...

The Carthian Movement - The Phrygian Assembly They are from France though. Phrygia is in Turkey. -Username17 Was thinking of this when I made the suggestion. Adopted as a symbol of republican liberty during the French Revolution, it seemed like it might have a similar symbolic place amongst the sup...

I definitely vote for the term "Makhzen". I would also like to suggest the following:

The Carthian Movement - The Phrygian Assembly
The Sabbat - The Magisterium

Prometheans - Homunculi

Ok, so AT&T is buying T Mobile, or has bought. anyone happen to know if I could use this as grounds to terminate my account without havving to pay an early termination fee? No. If AT&T does buy T-Mobile with the blessing of the FTC, they will not allow you to terminate your service just bec...

Question: will you be implementing any of the combat/rule changes from alt.War into the aWoD?

This animated adaptation of hiimdaisy's comic adaptation of Atlus' Persona 4 is possibly one of the strangest and funniest things I have seen on Youtube.

Is this what's hot? Is this what's poppin' in the streets?

The Story Of Nuclear Boy - a funny and engaging video explaining the nuclear crisis in Japan to children in terms that they can understand.

HERO System, E6, aWoD, Earthdawn, maybe a mix of Pathfinder and 3.5.

All of this would be completely cleared up if we could see the final (or first draft) of the entire thing. We can hypothesize and theorize but the longer this conversation goes on the more "ifs" we're going to have to use. We can't have a final draft because we frickin' don't have a D&...

I don't care for Macs at all. They aren't capable of running the robust suite of software that Windows computers are. They aren't nearly as secure as most people think, and they are only going to face more issues with security in the future as they gain market share. The best laptops you can buy are...

You can donate to the Red Cross' Japanese relief efforts here.

I'm down with WoF. I'd be very keen on seeing a fantasy game with the class/subclass and WoF systems that have been proposed in several threads on this forum.

Looks like the Golden Turtle might be in trouble IRL.

Congratulations!

Ganbare: about the same. THe only ones that I have ever gotten decent quality from are used vhs and used tapes. But this was like 8 years ago. ALthough one of the vhs apparently had wrestlemania taped on it compared to Kenshin. WHich was aggravating but the company sent back the right tape plus hal...

I hope you left crappy feedback and demanded your money back from Amazon. Incidentally, this is why I won't buy used CDs off of Amazon. Too much of a chance they are counterfeit, and burned with MP3s instead of lossless copies. What about used DVDs on Amazon? What have your experiences with them be...

So, are you here to bemoan how bad stuff is, or were you legitimately asking what the non-rich (like yourself) can do to save for the ill-advised retirement? I actually come from an upper middle class family and I do fairly well for myself, thank you very much. However, many of my friends aren't as...
