The Gaming Den

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.

What is the most high-powered gamebook you've seen?

So THAT explains the japanese commercial from years ago where the raccoon shakes his giant nuts at a little red riding hood...I had just put it in the "weird shit japanese a/v does" category... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oEhxd16f0A Raccoons are infamous for their gigantic nutsacks i...

Just focus on RP, that touches the shitty system as little as possible.

A friend of mine dragged me into an Ex3 game and I'm humoring him. However, I have not even looked at the Ex3 book before this. How breakable is the system for combat?

So if I wanted to make the ultimate owod DMF, would I make a wereshark, weredinosaur (drachid?) or a werewolf?

How badass are elder Rokea anyway?

IIRC, Cyberlimbs are ok in the one specific instance where you play a face that dumps the hell out of combat stats to fire a pistol with a cyberhand.

Sans-Nom (Nameless) was a character called the Meta Baron in the Incal series, a sidekick to John DiFool, the MC. He was much less overpowered than in the Metabarons series, though he was still the fighting-type guy.

Actually, it is canon how cavemen killed a methuselah in the times of the second city (it's written in the book of nod I think), and given how a vampire's activity is commonly inversely proportional to their power, it is safe to assume that, if a methuselah can be brought down with sticks and stone...

I totally want to be a vampire on chinese alchemy rules. Sucking cock to prolong my eternal life sounds amazing. Well, the basic tenet of Taoist sexual alchemy is to approach orgasm without reaching it, and that it's fine for the female to cum but not the male. Ideally the male makes the female hav...

On the subject of blood in the vampire body, I tend to prefer to think of the transformation into vampire rearranging the organs in the torso to basically wire up the stomach to the heart to act as reservoir and pump, while everything else becomes meaningless. Admittedly, this doesn't do anything f...

Are they as awesome as they sound (Vamp disciplines + Werewolf shapeshifting + gifts)?

Taichi combat forms are massively speeded up over the exercise forms.

I always thought Miracleman did Aberrant better than Aberrant.

Thanks for the input. I'm leaning toward Wired Reflexes + Reaction Enhancers now. Will I miss the quickness buff of Wired Reflexes?

Alternatively, you can raise it to an A+ because SUDDENLY BEARS.

Apocalypse World Style, I like. Does it also have random pedophilic encounters and taking damage/breaking your wrists/ankles with every hit you make?

I wish to make a guy that kills people before they can kill me. What is the best way to do this? I was thinking of dualwielding SMGs and running around with MBW. 2nd Edition? Life in 2nd edition is actually incredibly cheap. The basic heavy pistol does brutal amounts of damage, armor only lowers Ta...

I like the look of the Riptide.

I kept thinking "Taliban" through all of that.

Hah, that's something I wrote years ago, there's a picture that goes with it: Other observations in that light are... Wave Serpents: "dem flyin' wagons got a force field ...made of DAKKA!!" Spirit Stones: "some Eldar after dey get krump'd go "oi I ain't done fightin' yet ya gitz...

She's probably expecting us to draw a sword, so if we don't, we might be able to convince her to stop. I once encountered a situation like this in the War of the Wizards book for Grey Star; you were in disguise as an enemy soldier on the battlefield, and your Conan-like friend was killing people by ...

Hmm, normally I'd say we should spy, but in this case I'd say we should just knock on the front door.

Obviously we should be fighting him rather than his dogs. *cue mortal kombat music*

We've already died once, fuck death (i.e. confront them)!
