The Gaming Den

Hyzmarca means nothing in Ukrainian, no more so than it does in Russian.

Smoke-cloud pistol rogue sounds awesome, actually, but does it stack up against vivi alchemist or ninja? (In that can I enjoy the concept and contribute, or sit around staring wistfully at my concept as I feel the crushing guilt of not making an actually effective character?)

My mid to high range character should honestly be able to take on fucking armies. That is, to me, a pretty core part of the DnD experience, starting with 'Lolidietocat' to 'I will personally slaughter everyone who stands between me and Arrix, the Goblin King.'

I approve of this. Keep working.

Obviously, the protecting the state's monopoly of force is faaaaar more important than the state misusing that force against its citizens.

Awesome news:

A Cthulhu Mythos Japan book and no one has mentioned Deus Ex Demonbane?!

I am disappoint.

Oh man, DnDChat was what got me into DnD! That was back in the days of fucking dial-up, when poor Vagrant was just a fat, nerdy kid going through the NYC public school system. Fucking hell, I didn't even realise anyone even knew about it.

Does bypassing an encounter give you XP? I thought only killing it did.

Last place I lived, Barnes and Nobles had 2! shelves dedicated to RPG books. There were 2 local gaming stores, both of which had relegated RPG books to a single bookshelf in a corner in the back with an eclectic mix of shit. (Indie and not.) The only games that regularly ran was PF and oWoD, of cour...

Fuck yeah. I mean we'll get Hillary anyway, so I can safely vote my conscience and not my party for once and still manage some sort of borderline acceptable result.

Well, Richmond is a shitty town, but if you're in VA and you're looking for pretty awesome nerds to be uber-nerdy with, you could do worse than look up VCU's Skiffy club and the crowd at Don't Look Back.

Also I call Vulpix.

The whole 'has a spellbook, cannot cast spells from it' is bullshit and needs to be changed. Nix it. It's bullshit that it can learn spells but then not cast them. You just don't have enough shit to do, to be honest. Sneaky casting is also underwhelming - you're throwing around illusions, you could ...

EDIT: Nevermind, I derped.

Colour me interested, at least.

To be fair, 'Doing a better job than Catalyst' is not that high a bar.

Not all of Germany. Just Berlin - anarchist Berlin is a fun place. But the rest of Germany is Lowfyr's personal backyard. (Saeder-Krupp is a mighty German company run with efficiency and productivity, after all. And you're eaten if you don't make your quarterly numbers, which surely helps morale.)

Let's do it Prak. PM and I can help you get Vassal set up and everything ^_^

DanMachi anyone? Turn your brain off and its fun, otherwise, its your bog-standard harem fantasy/clueless Martin Stu protag.

Europe does have greater leverage, though, than Greece - they control the single currency. (Which, despite my otherwise support for European federalism, is now obviously a broken and monsterous piece of shit that needs to be eliminated.)

Haha, yeah. It isn't near done. Not by a long shot.

I've had alpha access since pre-Chronicles, and boy, did they ever fuck up. First they promised us an MMO/X-com style squad game, using 4th ed rules. I was excited. Many people were excited. Then as development went on and SR:R came out, it became clear that we were getting none of the sort, but rea...

I read 2XS on a PSP on a bus from New York to Boston back when I was in my teens. And I still have crystal clear memories of that book and that ride, despite the intervening years of drug use. Basically, it's a great novel.

So...anyone wanna play over Vassal or something?

Isn't that basically just AIDS?
