The Gaming Den

Maybe we can't call this a KS for a game, only a elaborated joke to attract people and... call it a day?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1503538195/aspects-of-fantasy-a-d20-fate-fantasy-roleplaying FATE + d20. I'm trying to think in a smart, fun and obvious pun about this "merge", but it is already at "fail zone"; both on KS as on design ideas. Or i am wrong? [Other people can c...

It's probable that they could do like Final Fantasy and Bravely Default: recreate the basics on a new system, only the name changed. And a Lying Airy on the title.

I disagree. There is actually kind of a lot of D&D source material where beggars successfully get people to hand over all their armor, weapons, and magical doodads. From Xena to the Arabian Nights, it's kind of a genre staple. Real beggars blessed with luck on their rolls or some master of true...

Question: Conjuration spells as "Orb of Whatever" could be cast from outside the Antimagic Field, enter and squash the puny guy at it center? Yes. Ray Deflection counters those though. The brazillian Devir version changed "ranged touch attack" to "ranged attack", so th...

What "I can tell" from this thread is that a lot of people around here have a problem with rules-light games. This wouldnt be a problem by itself, if not by the fact that such people go further and try to justify their tastes by actually arguing rules-light system are somehow broken beyon...

Its the exact opposite of a railroad.

You answered your own question.

And with this, I end my participation in this thread.

You could jumped out before being smashed against the ground *again*, did you know?

MTP = game withou rules, or a certain session of a game whose rules don't mater.

RPG = actual roleplaying game where you use rules to achieve something.

So your opinion on the matter is informed by another guy opinion on the matter ? Have you actually read the book or a review ? Do you at least have a slight suspect about how the game actually works ? Of course i have, let me read the book herZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ But then its a factor of the players play...

I never said i didn't know how to play, as World games play as "roll and say something that the GM might consider depending on his mood", and FATE... that i really don't care how they run. So you dont really know these games, as I suspected. This is the best explanation i can give you abo...

When the answer to a rules question is "whenever the DM feels like", you need to burn a lot of page space to reach the level of a reusable rule and not make it seem like your character has no power at all. How broad of a scope can an aspect cover? How often can a player use it? How good c...

Atmo, I understand you dont know the games we are talking about here enough (Fate and AW), so lemme give you an actual example: Imagine this situation: your character is surprised by a group of goblins while trekking through a forrest. a. In a task resolution game (like Gurps) your only method for ...

No, Atmo. I disagreed with K. Almost there, tsc! K 's position: "Games like Fate are conductive to railroads". Silva 's position: "Games like Fate are conductive to sandboxes/player-driven gameplay". Those two positions look very biased on personal experiences. I'm talking from ...

The real problem with games like AW or FATE is that they railroad individual actions. When the DM can declared by fiat that an action has literally any consequence, the freedom of the player is nil. On the contrary. Games like Fate or AW share the fiction authorship around the group, allowing playe...

Silva, don't complain about my use of vague terms until you've defined "railroading" more precisely. General questions force general answers. Sorry, you have a point. Assume "railroading" in this thread as the style of gaming popularized with Vampire and Dragonlance era where th...

Any game, only IF you can use your brain to create paths for everyone. And, of course, improvise like... an improviser.

1) What systems (if any) do you use? Wayfarer/Microlite20, 3D&T, OVA. 2) What were your experiences with freeform and/or rules lite games like? Microlite20 needs some experience with D&D, OVA is very newbie friendly and 3D&T can get very crunchy. 3) What steps should I take to increase t...

Can cosmology be used to munchkin something? No? So why bother?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/diamondsutra/ryuutama-natural-fantasy-role-playing-game Ryuutama is a nice and light TTRPG, were players are "normal" people (think on those RPG NPCs) who started adventuring for some reason and the GM is the Dragon, someone writting their lives, adventu...

I was expecting something from Kill la Kill, then i got that... shit.

I didn't expected that my account on some japanese browser game was deleted 2 hours after my subscription.

And i tought that L5R would give me some nice japanese experience, but... BUT!

My english is awful, but this article can help you to understand me.

I would post here the Swashbuckler of Tormenta RPG, but it's in PT-HUE and i don't have much confidence in my translations skills.

One of the things they have is "put Charisma bonus on AC" at the first level.

What you guys think of Monogatari Series?
