The Gaming Den

I vote Birds.

Frogs. We're only working for Team Evil, we don't have any philosophical beef with Good wizards like the Mistress of Birds.

We've not had access to the Evil list before; let's see what Wither can do.

Under the Wish Economy description it says souls of CR <9 are not normally worth anything, however that only makes sense if you stick to the 15000gp Wish limit instead of the "Lesser magic item" one. Just off the top of my head, a 4th level Scroll is a Medium item costing a minimum of 400g...

Fix your quote tags jagadul.

You're handwaving away wightpocalypse, shadows destroying the world, dragons destroying homesteads from the sky, but not what crops happen to have evolved in that particular climate? That's where you draw the line?

CURSE, because I feel like draining Puppykicker's stamina it's one of the last things not displayed, and explicitly has a plot variable effect.

Shiv the Master of Wolves.

Then go murder the Mistress of Birds for being cross-aligned to Grimslade.

tussock - Do you have an actual reason why people who know everything and have 2 HP are so bad for the game that they must not be includable or supported?

"Grimslade appears to serve the forces of evil, though a simple man like myself cannot be sure about such things." I can only assume Gronar is very big on innocent until proven guilty, given he's seen Grimslade's tower and how everyone reacts. In any case, tell Grimslade we aren't afraid,...

Because I already said that it was a bug? My problem with vancian casting isn't that you can prepare bad spells. Okay, let us try this again. You just said that how well the spells the Sorcerer choose fit the situation determining how good the Sorcerer is is a feature. If that is a feature when the...

West, actually - if we've stumbled upon the last unexplored bit, we may as well.

Get back home. Leave a last bit of exploration for the evil run.

Say we have a climbing and suddenly harpies attack scenario. Take 10 means that suddenly the cleric has a chance of failing the easy climb check he was making for an hour when the fighter gets attacked. Right. And now it's interesting because it's happening in the middle of a fight scene, and fight...

So basically you -roll dice- to see if or how much XP you gain?? No. You gain XP when you roll a good attribute check. This. The problem comes when you have multiple ways to make rolls that shouldn't be that attribute check in fact be that attribute check. Granted, that was partly because Monster o...

Remain on the lookout for mutual enemies!

What I'm not fine with is the idea that whether you shine depends on your performance in the spell selection minigame. And so you think the Sorceror is fine and dandy...? More or less. Despite the fact that a Sorceror's performance depends on its performance in the spell selection minigame, not &qu...

Is it worth citing Charmed, here? They have spontaneous casting from a very small list for all the witches and most of the assorted supernaturals, but the bit where they frequently need to custom-bake a vanquishing potion for a given target seemed approximately Vancian to me.

Things that speak are not automatically mutual enemies. Ask.

I think there was another thread about this, but I can't be bothered to dig it out. I had the chance to try Monster of the Week, which IIRC is also based on the Apocalypse World engine. It was barely a system, really - the RNG was capable of generating results of "you succeed, no problems"...

Not sure I buy the bit about flavor being mutable completely, because people will still say "oh, so it's a cleric" because that's just what people fucking do. Anyway the mechanics are also not there since clerics also get all of the everything ever and Ashley very specifically doesn't, an...

You know who I really think of when I hear the word fighter? Ashley Riot from Vagrant story. Yeah, he uses some magic, but he gets all of that from books he reads so that's just magic items giving him some utility abilities and you seriously use your utility spells, almost all of the magic you get,...

The Master of Frogs is not an enemy, so this is not a mutual enemy. Try to reason with him.

Pop Friendship, we're close enough to Whateverthefuckistan that if another one's likely to be necessary we can buy one.

You're defining a magic system - you can just say that only one node can be converted into a mana stream at a time because technobabble and something. You could also say that different nodes of mana reserve don't stack, such that it's not a useful thing to do - unless you want there to be a synergy ...
