It would be full of firewalking lesbians offering up pain killers to their mistress. And it would be glorious.

Was there someone who posted here who didn't think we're assholes? Why is it a surprise that someone else does?

Too much?

Yes.

You will need the starter set to play the game prior to the November release of the monster manual. The starter set will give you enough monsters that you can play low level games but the starter set will probably be messing essential rules of some sort. Oh, I think it's going to be missing a lot m...

So. Metro Last Light. You had me at "sequel to post-apocalyptic supernatural sci-fi Russian awesome game I totally loved." Why did you then fuck up the gfx optimization to the point that my average FPS count is 18, when Crysis 3 was running at a buttery 60? Now I have to put you into the ...

Counterattacking is a thing. I've never fenced but I boxed for a while and Hitting someone while they are trying to hit you is a thing that you do. You step in when you box (move and attack). You dodge and punch at the same time. You can choose to just dodge or choose to just parry but doing both a...

The bard progression is really only suitable for casters who use their spells for utility rather than offense. It's a secondary thing, like all of the low level slots of the full casters are, and should be treated as such. And those casters need something else to spend most of the time doing. Even i...

I'll join the chorus here - no, auto hitting someone who is standing there is not conceptually problematic in most circumstances. Any edge cases that I can construct where it might be (like trying to hit a guy while standing on jello or in an oil slick or in zero gravity or whatever) seem like issue...

I don't necessarily advocate this but it would be totally possible to make a system where you compared your skill level to the task and got a roll. So all tasks are now Simple, Easy, Moderate, Hard, Masterful, or Extreme. And in any given skill characters are either Amateurs, Professionals, Masters...

So, I guess no one remembers that they released 3.0 on the same month between schedule? The 3.0 PHB dropped in August 2000 (with some sample monsters and xp awards and magic item bits in the back), the DMG in September 2000, and the MM1 in October 2000. Dropping books without support may be dumb, b...

4d6-4 will output numbers from 0 to 20. There's 21 discrete steps. Not that this really changes the rest of your post.

2. I already do most of this except for the attribute thing. What do you mean fight against other numbers? In the 3.x case where bigger things gain str and lose dex, you get weird non-relative cases. Giants have an easier time hitting other giants than humans have of hitting other humans, even afte...

Big Pharma's general response to the drug cost thing goes something like... "The drug market is such that when a competitor came out with something that works you can mass-spec and reverse engineer it with a fraction of the work that they put in to develop it. If you eliminate monopoly protecti...

1 - Use relative size modifiers. Big things sneak past big things, little things sneak past big things easily, and big things sneak past little things with difficulty. Go with environments instead of targets if you like, so that it's easier to sneak around the giant's castle or a redwood forest tha...

What even happened with that Quest for Infamy demo Avor?

Are stories able to be read publically? They're marked public or private, but you can't see them from the outside at all. I also can't search for them. I think you're supposed to be able to read them publicly though, just not sure if it's a member restricted thing or a not enabled thing. I might gr...

A friend backed this and invited me to a game, which means I have access to all of their rules and settings and stuff. If anyone has any questions about it I can see about digging up an answer.

Here let me quote myself: It's not that I believe that people here 'can't work together it's that I believe that they most likely 'won't'. In your analogy you don't give money to every hobo on the street and if we're all hobos wanting to push a project then you don't need to rely on people being 'u...

I think you're confusing 'easier' with 'easy'. You made the claim that it would be much easier to complete if you had those things, and I'm telling you it's not. I think you're confusing "easier" with "differently hard". If your problem is that you don't want to write stuff or y...

@Tarkis: Are you... Are you suggesting that it is just as hard to have a project with prewritten material, a clear(ish) direction, and a leader (don't care how you spin it) as it is to have a project that has to start from the ground up with not so much as a word written and not even a hint as to s...

Yeah, small drive to start should be fine even if you need a bigger one later. You could just replace the drive in the PS3 if you feel like swapping them out later, unless they removed that feature in later hardware and I missed it. Or you might be able to save / run content from an external usb dri...

I think it would be much easier to do so if there is a clear direction and perhaps a bunch of written material. Also a clear leader. As the " supreme overlord project manager" for the Tome Ref Doc, I think myself qualified to speak on this point. So let's start with... http://www.operator...
