The Gaming Den

V5 sounds like the endgame for Hunter, which would be cool if you were playing Hunters and not Vampires. The Second Inquisition seems like Kenneth Hite convinced the other writers to make him a Nights Black Agents expansion with a name brand behind it.

I've got a bunch of non-Spanish speaking internet friends who shit on WWE all the time yet the moment Meltzer claimed Rush was the most effective heel in the business they got super duper butthurt and started aggressively riding for Ciampa. Marks! They're those "we don't watch WWE, we watch NX...

It's nice that maglag has a cute anime girl avatar, so when he posts something dumb I can imagine it's not from a real person. EDIT: Unless you're playing Adventurer's League, there's still monthly power creep/learning new material. Mearls and Friends release playtest material all the time. Some of ...

The Adjective Noun who Verbs is one of the better ways to help people develop a set of Aspects in a Fate game, and having those things be a list of mechanical widgets would be good to steal. Also, the d20 hooks are nice to tie people into the world.

That's pretty much it from me.

d6+4 >= 7 is a roll over operation. Hunt and pecking for the correct dice is something you can do with roll over or roll under, so why not do it with a system that can handle greater variance in upper and lower bounds? Tussock, you should really see a doctor. I think the Alzhimers is starting to kic...

So the game is an homage to all the boring parts of VtM if you weren't LARPing, while removing the fun parts? And there's already In the Shadows/Monster of the Week for off-brand oWoD PbtA. The only thing useful here would be taking the Mother May I rules and porting that as your downtime system for...

I would be surprised if that wasn't already a thing, hyzmarca. Also, this whole thing underlines how fucking small potatoes the TTPRG industry is. A bunch of Swedes rolled up with a suitcase full of money to give people the privilege of buliding, designing, and paying for their fanfiction reboot. It...

I know that person; they do optimization work and math hammering on /tg/ while posting Touhou images.

E: She is legit on the spectrum, so her playing hyperrigid isn't to prove a point. That's just how she is.

Outside of the top right girl looking like a Slayer groupie, all of those characters look like they bum around alternative bookstores in Williamsburg more than they feed on the blood of the innocent.

There's a gentrification joke in there somewhere.

Or to CMLL Yo I just said Lucha promotions (CMLL in particular) do the thing you want. If they're put in a submission, unless it's a big match and the final fall, a luchador will immediately tap or verbally submit. With the notable exception of Scurll's finger break spot, if a submission is sold as...

No, but despite his history as the Ace of New Japan and the last remaining of the (second generation) Three Musketeers and being a very handsome man with a delightful twitter... he's still the John Cena of New Japan, which annoys me. I respect all his achievements but it's time for him to go into B...

Japanese wrestling fetish gay porn that became a meme about a decade ago now. Heavily featured in the Japanese equivalent of YouTube Poops. One of the well known guys died this year.

Well done Tanahashi, in winning the A-Block after a fantastic battle of who can sell the least. Props to Okada there for having his leg mangled then doing a bunch of high dropkicks to help shake the damage out. Now all Tanahashi has to do is survive through his tag match tomorrow before crawling in...

BUT HE'S THE GUY WHO DID THE THING ON THE TV BOX Don't be silly, that'd never... Ventura. Schwarzenegger. Trump. Okay never mind. If he hasn't raped any women or children then he's one of the better candidates Republicans have put forward lately. This isn't a good time to bring up the Katie Vick st...

Heh, Something Awful is still screaming about how 4e is the one true way after it got shitcanned. See, Mike Mearls really wanted to make 3e and not 4e so when he took over he sabotaged the bestest most selling edition ever by releasing essentials. This is what they're saying on the SA boards. The f...

Ishii vs Sabre might be my favourite match of the G1 so far. They put on some great strong style wrestling and hard hits, they struggled, they hurt each other. I want to see more of that. Also, neither one went SuperCena and just shrugged off previous injuries for the finish there. Not that I'm poi...

Need some music recs for a playlist to listen to when I work on my 50s Mad Max thing. Currently, I have a playlist with Dr. Steel's Drop the Bomb, Johnny Cash's One Piece at a Time, and some various stuff by the Cramps. So I'm looking for vaguely 50s-ish stuff, stuff about cars, stuff that's inspir...

Honestly, no. You can easily just side-step that problem by giving monks unarmed strikes that are just as good as weapons. The standard Monk does this explicitly. The Tome Monk does this by giving them a slam attack. Whatever. Making it so that monks don't have to use the shitty numbers you assign ...

This game they're making sounds like they read Fate Core, then did everything Fate had removed as fiddly waste. Looking at Cypher and the 2nd ed CoFD system (and Genesys, to a lesser extent), "Fate Core, but with all the fiddly bullshit put back in" was a life choice for several elfgames ...

If you really wanted to keep the "oh my god there's something terrible inside me" you'd probably just work with "regular" old mental illness rather than weird racist crap. This even fits Lovecraft's biography (IIRC) as his mother had a breakdown when he was young, got institutio...

Not enough people deem it weird that there was a Red Scare and never a Nazi Scare. Almost like Nazi ideology didn't actually threaten American ideology. There was German/Italian/Japanese internment during WWII, but it's easier to sweep away the undercurrent of American fascism with "WE PUNCHED...

90% of the work would be in balancing and choosing reasonable numbers. Also, you'd need to decide whether you are going to have a Magic stat (ala Shadowrun) spell specific skills (ala After Sundown) or a tradition-based approach (ala Asymmetric Threat). It would be a tradition-based approach, like ...

How much conversion work would need to be done to port an SR4 like magic system to the AS core rules? The bones of the systems are close enough, and I really like the magic system in SR4.

I mean... flip flappers came out a while ago, I watched it all back then.

Watch it again then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Lupin III Part V is a sumptuous show that manages to switch between gritty near-cyberpunk and lighthearted magical realism with incredible deftness.

Also, everyone who wasted time in that DarliFra debate should watch Flip Flappers.
