The Gaming Den

We love that guy. He's like a giant breath of fresh air in the system-waffle culture of White Wolf. There are a lot of people who rally around him, now, because frankly Exalted is mechanically complex enough to attract people who think like Denners. Jon Chung is basically the less funny and evocati...

Dunno about FatR, but for me Mass Combat produces situations where a Solar, who is normally immune to extras, can suddenly be threatened by those very same extras when they stand closer to each other. This is a feature, not a bug. First off, you're not *threatened* by them as long as you have your ...

Buff composure, use CM with a .50 cal?

How does Tearing work with weapons that deal multiple dice of danage? Like say, an Assault cannon is 3d10+foo and has the Tearing and Unreliable keywords.

Do you roll 3d10 twice or 3d10 + 1d10 or something?

One thing... I think you have Appearance wrong, or you are thinking 1e? 2e your social defenses are just modified by whatever your highest of the three is, so the other two are dumbs. Sort of. Your Mental Parry DV is generally your highest social stat + highest social skill. Your Mental Dodge DV is...

FatR, can you go into much detail as you can about everything in this paragraph? Daddy Lago needs his hate medicine. Basically, 1e Lunars had UTTER SHIT RULES like Charms that were WORSE than not using a Charm. This was because of Deadly Beastman Transformation, which was a "vertical" sta...

Berserk's trolls amuse me.

Hmm, did I come off as a moralfag? Sorry.

IMO Sidereals is when Exalted started going to shit. Storywise: HURRRR WE ARE SEKRIT MASTERS OF ZA WARUDO AND EVERYONE ELSE IS TROUBLEMAKING BITCH Crunchwise: I use Creation-Slaying Oblivion Kick and kill the entire visible population of Creation in one action. 1E Sidereals marked a metaplot shift i...

*raises eyebrow* Now I'm not saying anything, but... Okay, now I'm curious. Which page was that? 282. Enjoy your loli. :bored: Wat. I think I must have glossed over that page in all my previous readthroughs because there is virtually nothing sexual about that loli at all. Except being naked, and na...

Everyone immediately flipped to the page which had the naked underaged furry on it. Uh-oh.

Exalted is also the game of epic setting-mechanic disconnect. The combat system is shit to begin with and only gets shittier as you progress in Essence/levels/what have you.

It mainly suffers from Vampire's Invincible Elders problem. Plus the fanbase is full of twelve year olds.

Chrissy has been, and still is, a very good friend. Besides, my father taught me to never hit a woman, no matter how much she deserved it :uptosomething:. Glad to know you're still on good terms, at least. :p Some White Wolf stuff makes me rage, usually the essays written by the Fukken Freelancers ...

I do not know how you did not slap her so hard every pimp in the city would be lining up to take notes.

So I'm going to be playing in a Delta Green campaign as an entomologist of sorts. I want to make a competent character, but I have next to no experience with the system. Can someone tell me what are the pitfalls I should be looking out for? Critiques / reviews of the system (especially scathingly hi...

If you're just looking for 1E stuff, I can't help you there. Nah, it's cool. I'm looking for all sorts of rage. Mainly because I want to see what's the big deal. I did a fair bit of raging at 2nd edition. Just look for 'Anatomy of Failed Design: 2nd edition' or something to that effect. I also know...

Never played SoA, but it sounds awesome from the description.

I know Hicks froths incoherently whenever 1E D&D and its GM's guide comes up, but I'm sure that's not all the rageworthy stuff there is out there. So tell me, what stuff makes you rage> And if possible, where can I find it? I'm looking for the 1E D&D stuff in particular, since it's pretty mu...

Man, the whole Inhabitation thing (Flesh Form / Hybrid Form / True Form) reminds me of the Dragon King Olchilike in Exalted, where the Dragon Kings (normally weaker than most Solars) fused with a fairly potent combat deity via the Ride Charm and the two of them proceeded to rape face with impunity. ...

Hm hmm. Yeah, there's the whole reliability thing (die roll) and the Object Resistance (hopefully low, probably higher since you want to yoink a cybered-up sam) for having a spirit possess someone are potential stumbling blocks, and as a starting character, I can't pretend that I have infinite dice ...

So I'm making a mage-type character and I've seen the advice going that Possession-type traditions are weaker than Materialization-type traditions. My question is: why? I mean, while you can just Materialize a spirit and have it start kicking ass right there and then, a Possession spirit can be orde...
