The Gaming Den

I wouldn't play any of those systems for good reason. If I had to I'd use Mutants and Masterminds 3e.

Ia feeds on Cornrows as we travel for two points of blood. Then bites his wrist, drawing blood and feeds her a point back. After the damage she's been through she should be hungry for it. As Verge is preparing his explosives Ia will tell him as he works, "Your bravery is admirable but you don't...

I don't see the point of morality granted bonuses for being a PC. I thought that was what experience is for.

Never having released Cornrows from his control he approaches her on the ground. "Miss, please come with us." He will attempt to puppet her into one of Stan's SUVs as if she were walking under her own power.

As the police move in and the fight winds down Ia finally gets a chance to check his phone which has been buzzing insistently. "Let us speak with her before possibly annihilating our largest source of vitae in a fiery inferno. The Camarilla wants her alive and I doubt the reason is what they to...

What about giving martials some means of attacking saves? Like Stunning Fist but actually good?

Max is in the alley too. I was waiting for him to use that butterfly knife.

Looks like our goons are handling that gaggle of ghouled girls.

Ahem.

Holy shit. You've made me mildly interested in a purely theoretical Drizzt movie. Goddamn you.

The problem is DnD is a system not a story and doesn't have anything to offer a filmmaker beyond branding. It doesn't have a truly iconic story or even setting. Drizzt is probably the only one that even comes close. It's a fantasy kitchen sink and that sink is mostly filled with Tolkien which we alr...

So starting out in Edge of the Empire, you're not master criminals, you're more like Pineapple Express. In Age of Rebellion, you're not that close to Luke and Wedge, you're more like Porkins. being low-power scroungers feel much more in-line with the classic saga than the Super-Padawans of the late...

Berate a storm trooper for missing you. He dies of shame.

Yeah, while most abilities are a boring "+1 die to basketweaving rolls made at moonless midnight on Yavin" garbage, some are actually fun and useful. I fondly remember my Politico's ability to rant at people and give them sanity damage and knock them out (or kill them, since mooks don't h...

Seth will mentally text Vincent, "The burglar is in here, and will probably leave soon. I need you to tail her if, er... when she escapes. She's fast so I'd advise you to get somewhere high and keep an eye out for when she leaves the building. Transform and roll out. Sorry... couldn't resist.&...

I really hate their fucking dice and I'm not even referring to their bullshit probabilities.

Kel will send Vincent to the Sealaska to keep an eye on Seth's back, Vincent has a smoke outside the closed museum, and strikes up a conversation with a passing prostitute, keeping everything professional. Am I to understand Kel sent Vincent to Sealaska forgetting Seth was actually at Northrim bank...

Archer Cleric is still plenty strong if that appeals to you. Just because you won't get any persistent spell DMM cheese the DM would probably not allow anyways... just how optimized do you need to be for this? A human cleric of Erastil (Point Blank and Precise Shot level 1) with animal domain for th...

When Stan is attacked Ia's mind is instantly focused on the battle. His blood burns inside. (A blood point is spent) and his Wits 5 are added to his initiative rating. Ia doesn't move at all though he does take action as his blood continues to boil inside him. (Second blood point spent) First priori...

That's a manly story of manly men doing manly things in ways that are manly. Or it's a story of a group of people spontaneously deciding to help someone that didn't even ask for it. Or it's a story of a group of guys showing an asshole bully what it feels like to be bullied by assholes. Or a textbo...

It seems HBS will be bringing BATTLETECH to Kickstarter this fall. Im not really familiar with Battletech but it seems to be popular with a couple people on the board so I thought I'd mention. I am an HBS fan. I thought SR Returns was ok and Dragonfall was pretty good and Director's Cut was even bet...

Which is why I say to lock them up. If we bring them to the Dairy to meet Eris, that's 10 extra blood-boosted mooks we'll have to fight. Even with Presence, there's no way in hell they're going to sit around if their Domitor tells them to kill us. Individually, they aren't a threat. But 10 blood-bo...

Yes it is real but if youre going to get it that'll depend on the severity/importance of the fight, your partner and you. Generally in my experience if I screw up make up sex isn't happening. But if she screwed up then I can make it happen. Or if the fight was dumb and we know it was dumb. Breaking ...

Tatiana Maslany is very talented.

So three year old should be ok AND jackass was arrested? These are the best possible updates. Do please elaborate on the arrest if possible.

I'm sorry for your suffering but you've managed to bearly entertain me so some good has come of it. I will keep reading to see bear this goes.

Ironically, I think the PCs liked the "challenges" they could talk their way out of better than any of the actual combat; whether this is a credit to my ability to write dialogue (ha) or a failure on their part to min-max (hey, they're honest), or maybe just a deficiency in the AD&D r...
