The Gaming Den

Small thought I had while reading all the ideas (I would pay money for a polished version of this, btw) Same here, I'd happily give TheFlatline money for polishing this idea. So here's a problem. They have a 4. Which is a zombie die. But they don't have a 3, which is the active zombie. So you can't...

I'll humor you Neurosis , and say "OWDYHI", and even consider using it should I ask about a game in the future. In case I forget, if reminded, I'll go back and put it into the title or something. As Avoraciopoctules and others are saying, really sounds like there's no reason to use the mat...

I will say my naivete does fill me with the notion that reading, and participating in discussions in design will seek to give me an early start. As I really want to avoid repeating history of same mistakes many others have made already, so I spend less time being an idiot, and more actually improvin...

I like Kaelik. Something is wrong with you. Priapism. Kaelik's Online mannerism do fill me with the notion he has a Raging Boner at all times that he doesn't know what to do with, so he posts here to take it out on all of us for being its alleged cause. So yeah, I think Kaelik is cool, I enjoy seei...

I thought I remembered Frank, in a recent thread but not this one, saying that Tome-style feats were a mistake and feats should only do minor stuff for flavor, not be a major part of the character's abilities. Edit: Found it, here . Although it doesn't say specifically how important the feats would...

Starfinder? STARFINDER

I like the idea of "Giant Floating Cubes" race, and having exotic races in general. Although the rest seems kinda like a step back, like continuing to have a Fighter Class in a game of space-goers.

If other sites had plenty of good homebrew stuff the Den wouldn't need to exist. We don't come here because we like each other. I come here because I like you guys, since we've fallen off on homebrew. Similar, I actually do like the Denners here, it's a fun place to read things, and I feel smarter ...

I know Frank has said that D&D esque games can have feats like D&D does it, but reward additional ones at the end of every session. Do you think that would improve this game at all, especially the feat selections? Also The Grease lizard Taming sounds really interesting. That would be a cool ...

Two Notable things by the same Author I can think of were on Alignment and Redoing the Deities pantheon respectively:

I think someone needs to tell this artist if that's the case (upper left).

It also really seems like the sentient Rat-swarm will be Anti-roleplaying to the one-shot experience. As in, just be some silent protagonist syndrome, till someone more outgoing involves them into the plot.

I do think its cool these players have out there character concepts however.

If your audience is not going to notice then the game is balanced enough. Disparity between casters and martials is in general overstated as a problem, particularly compared to the problem of excessive complexity and fiddliness in PF, which kicks in earlier and cannot be mitigated. Not Quite, it's ...

Sure, but if it delivers a different enough experience, or least just fixes the problems you're talking about, then it earns a place in being different enough.

With the fourth slot going to elf (Spellsword or Jester or Elementalist) or halfling (Swashbuckler or Rogue or Bard). So for the fourth character, I'm okay with letting you guys debate and vote. Far as 4th character goes, I'm not entirely sure what a "Jester" would do, while the Halfling'...

I would find it strange if they're willing to muck through the sea of Pathfinder wiki options, opposed to your "Tome Book" which is likely shorter in comparison. Though I guess the PF-wiki does have the advantage of being more organized most likely. Lady of Pain sounds like something that ...

If you go back to game design fundamentals, there's no particular reason that having a bunch of gun drones has to amount to anything more than a moderate dicepool bonus to your attacks for the turn. An interesting idea that intrigued me upon first read of this. How doable would this be, in applying...

Since we're crossing over, figure I'll do the same from this post . I mean, in their own game, you are playing as a legion of 1000 Prinnies who are all identical, and slaves to Etna, and the fact that there are a thousand of them should probably tell you something about their individual value and li...

To be fair drones are robots. Its akin to hiring a guy with a gun. I mean of course you get extra combat actions. Because they are an extra floating gun. Im not sure how thats unfair. How do you balance the ability to just buy an extra robot? For the Rigger/Hacker themselves, I imagine you put a ma...

In general to any Disgaeagame, I'd want to play a Prinny Period, that'd be somewhat of a dealbreaker otherwise. Though as I recall, I think you gave a playable entry for people to play Prinny PC's. After all, they were playable in the games (got their own game even), got some of their own Swag-based...

sitrep: played SR5, found it to be as bad as expected, told the rest of the group to not bother calling me for the next game. You should tell us all the juicy details of your agonizing experience. Though I agree its really hard to look at SR5 at all, the Priority system alone is so bad I can't brin...

I have by now aquired the SR5 Books in english and started reading them . . I kind of want to scrape out my brain through my eye-sockets by now x.x I am sorry for your loss, but as our gain, tells us the woes of SR 5th edition in the Shadowun Situation Thread! It's best compared to SR4A's attempt t...

I'm a DC 15 myself, so it's not too hard, sometimes it might require Frank -fixed Skill Challenge however. 1) I am saying this yes but a bit more than that. I've been saying that there are skills that only exist to lock out content (Search/Knowledge/etc) and that they are not important enough to des...

So...I'm getting confused by these conversations, and hoping this might get the conversation on track to something bit more useful. So, I guess the notions are: 1.) It's bad to have a Binary-roll lock you out of content, as it then wasted time the DM Spend preparing, and doesn't seem to improve the ...

However, the issue is she blasts you for not saying what she wants Goddamn, what adventure was this? Most importantly, is she buttstabbable in this adventure, as this conversation was implying she joins the party? As I would totally make a Martial Master Fighter-idea to just go up to, and Red-Mist ...

What's a good way to disincentive looting the dead in D&D and Shadowrun in a non ham fisted manner. I figure a large part of it is the "we are very poor murderhobos" mentality where getting any scrap of coin means one more dagger you can afford for throwing and so on. For Shadowrun, I...
