The Gaming Den

Muv Luv's Alternative is basically this scenario, aliens known as the BETA have invaded earth and they field laser-shooting air defence units that can intercept artillery bombardments, missiles and aircraft. They prioritize air targets so they can be neutralized by ground forces but since BETA tend ...

Hmm. I remember this bit of text pretty well. But then people remember Sinbad being in a genie movie, so that proves nothing. Weren't Hantei's siblings trapped in Rokugan by world jealousy? No? IIRC world jealousy was a thing; the Kami lost their divinity because they landed on Ningen-do, and Fu-Le...

Just being a troll with maxed strengh gets you 11dv. +4 from mucle augmentation and drugs. +3 from bone density. +2 from striking calluses. +1 from critical strike. EDIT: if you mean SR4, then be a troll with max strength, and buy up Critical Strike and all martial arts that give +1DV. I think boxi...

SR4 and SR5 devs had a severe overestimation of how good melee actually is. In both SR4 and SR5 melee attack is a simple action, which means fewer attacks in SR4 and shitty action economy in SR5. For example in SR5 you can't move and do a called shot punch to the groin. You don't have enough action...

I have a question: Heart of Violent?

I used to hang around RPGNet for PBPs until I realised that they wee pretty much tyrannical SJWs.

Now I get my jollies on RPOL and lurk here.

In Asia specifically I wonder if Capcom's Magic User in Tower of Doom and Shadow Over Mystara would be better known than the novel characters. http://images.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/frpgames/fb422dbb33f56a8d92a289addac22447.jpg?v=249264 I actually encountered the D&D SoM magic users be...

I'm kind of locked into a human Red Sonja clone, but I'll keep your suggestion in mind. Orcs in general have big bonuses for hulking out.

I just finished Doom 2016, and I'm wondering what's the best way for a DMF to heal himself after killing an opponent. I've found a couple of ways, like: - Greater Daemon Totem (5 hp when you kill an intelligent opponent with at least half your HD) - Feast of Blood (need to rip out your opponent's gu...

So basically the route to Real Ultimate Power in Birthright is to fuck your twin sister and take turns murdering the offspring with an elf weapon until you have super godlike ultra bloodline. Right?

Greater Mighty Wallop + Superior Unarmed Strike approaches Garou levels of fisting. Just make sure you have a backup band blasting POWAA GET ZA POWAAAAA when you wind up to fist people.

I wanted to respond intelligently to all of this, but the only answer I can give is lolwut.

Am I lucky or unlucky that I just built for power and sidestepped all this metaphysical crap? Who knows?

Are Guardian spirits supposed to be like Servants from the Fate universe? You know, you could have a Animu tradition that summons Saiba and Acha and whatnot. I always wanted to play Rin summoning a Servant. To be fair all you need is some kind of Great Form high Force Guardian spirit and it'll rape...

Are Guardian spirits supposed to be like Servants from the Fate universe? They're human-looking combat powerhouses who are shadows of ancient heroes which can go ethereal and protect their squishy little magus buddies from other pokeheroes and their masters.

In any case, what a Houngan does is summon a spirit 12 hours before the mission and then goes to sleep to work off drain. Then when the mission starts they turn into the Hulk. -Username17 Which, you have to admit, sounds all kinds of awesome right there . . Voudoun is one of those edge cases where ...

Is there anything which lets you bash with tower shields at all? TWFing with shields is pretty fun, except for the part where you have to be a fightard.

Okay, that was pretty funny.

I was going to say "Fight for Righteousness", personally.

Be heroic, help against the ronin. Also, no Book 7 (Redeemer!)?

I was mainly interested in the "punch mountains out of the earth" part, but the fox part seems really fucking random.

I think straight up Eastern European folkloric vampires are often plenty stupidly powerful. While I admit that a lot of them are basically "kinda strong dudes" that can be defeated by just being "pretty good with a sword" or some shit, there are a lot of those guys who can only ...

I have this and wanted to run it when angel said his books were in storage, but then my scanner got 'borrowed'.
(I also have the whole redone Way of the Tiger collection, signed first printing, but I haven't read it either.)

Including book 7?

anybody have an interesting and fun character concept that can break the world a bit instead of the rules system?

Mystic Adept, show them the meaning of MAXIMUM FUCK.

...I did not know they'd done a book 7. I'd heard they'd done a Book 0, but 7? I'ma have to check that out ASAP. http://www.megara-entertainment.com/ Book 0 is Ninja! Book 7 is Redeemer!

There's a series of books called the Virtual Reality Adventures; they don't use dice, they just check to see if you have certain abilities and codewords and the adventure proceeds from there. I've run one of those here: http://www.tgdmb.com/viewtopic.php?t=55626 I probably will run another in the f...
