The Gaming Den

I am still confused why doctors so far has refused to even consider just walking her into an elevator and monitoring her passing out. They deflect or pointedly ignore the suggestion, but are willing to push stuff like tilt tables or three year implants... because like all "professions" yo...

This will be done in order of the provided types giving hierarchy to them in the order they were asked about: continents, cities, regions, kingdoms. so if it ends up a kingdom, then it just didn't sound to fit for the others... continents: Malach Ualona Berlaria Chryse Nalapur (sounds almost Gullive...

I've never been in that camp. I think it's because I'm from an older DnD generation who said, "if it has stats, it can be killed." Look Eric, this has nothing to do with generations because Dave ran a different style of game than Gary and they were the SAME generation. The Dread Gazebo ca...

so Jareth was the king of the goblins, but just not a goblin. um, that is easy to see form the movie anyway.... it is obvious he is a Mind-flayer, using illusionary psionics all the time to control his goblin thralls as well as everyone else. he just only has one tentacle and keeps it.... well just ...

so a two page polymorph spell? must be a second level spell then.

English: Z when X and when Y == Logic: Z IF (X OR Y). This. Basically they should have an oxford comma there ("been more than 100 feet away from you for 24 hours , and when you die.") but some people find those pretentious. I have no idea why. re: Shedding light--um... what's wrong with u...

Your attunement to an item ends when the item has been more than 100 feet away from you for 24 hours and when you die. The way I'm reading that sentence, it seems like the "and" should be an "or". that is how i hope it reads as well. but knowing Mearls and his fucktardery the it...

Someone said (roughly) 'the flavor text on a Magic: The Gathering card is what you should aim for'. You said (roughly) 'just like the TSR collectible trading cards from yesteryear'. Someone asked about that and you've been snippy as all hell, which is really weird because it's a total non-sequitur....

I've been gaming for most of my life now (Jesus has it really been over 20 years?) and I'll be damned if I go download old esoteric D&D products to read are kids these days really fucking stupid or what? Do they not know what it means to google something? is there some magic piracy thing they h...

The point I was making is that many skills don't improve with practice and experience, or they cap out very early. Once you've learned to shoe a horse, that's it. You know that skill and it doesn't get much better. Spending another decade shoeing horses is not going to make you into a person who sh...

like the dwarves they could survive off of their building prowess. they build what only they know how and teach no one else and 100 years down the road when it needs repairing the one who built it returns to the humans to fix it for the original customers grandchildren. works great for castles of st...

So, am I misguided in thinking that the specific type of game I want to run can be imbedded into the setting information? Yes, because if the players don't read it or pay attention to it, or even use that information because they don't care, then your type of game will be ignored. being subtle in t...

-yawn-

I've had a string of players run across my table lately that seem to go out of their way to be contrarian and antagonistic. My thought is that if I can be more clear about the game's expectations, this might help curb this type of behavior. sounds more like just asshole players. nothing you can do ...

Really sick and fucking tired of old gamers using the "gotcha" line on people. More ignorant shit from a child. You post in response to a simple lsit of examples of the given idea with a xcvd comic already taking a defensive where none was needed, then when you are called on your bullshit...

That is what TSR did in the 90s with wizard spells, preist spells, psionic spells cards, decks of encounters, magic item cards and " trading " cards. I was four when that linked box set came out, so I am not surprised I am unfamiliar with that . With modern gamers, the excuse of age in re...

Short enough to be flavor text in a deck of M:tG cards for different topics. So an artifact sword can be one card, a castle another, while the various ranks and clans of goblins can be multiple cards. Damn, that is fantastic advice. That is what TSR did in the 90s with wizard spells, preist spells,...

1. the restricted classes and race of the PCs. this gives an idea of the world view. 2. how the world is set up. general political views and religious views of the person of the world so the players can interact with them in character 3. some kind of placement. where the hell are the PCs, why are th...

no game outside of a video game can doe aerial battles right. Babylon 5 game wasnt half bad, but any tabletop game will lack the 3rd dimension required for it. you cant play flying on a 2d surface.

Who the fuck thought it was a good idea to put 60+ year-old Mark Hamill and Carrie Fisher in front of the camera? the same idiot that put Harrison Ford in a Millennium Falcon that didn't work (did it ever really?) to cause him to have a broke leg and be out for at least a few months. what is next, ...
