The Gaming Den

-Wanda and Jillian BDSM sessions were there from the start. -Wanda fucking Stanley to manipulate him (kinda retconned since later Stanley just goes "spend as little time near the crazy necro as possible") -Hippiemancies will use sex as a weapon and probably drug/poison you while they're at...

It doesn't help that one of the subplots of the webcomic was that Hamster is a big dude in a world populated mostly by smaller people with childlike proportions that explicitly fuck and can't get pregnant and there was even a point when one of the characters asks why Hamster hasn't fucked anybody in...

Some deeper search suggests it was a pretty messed up situation.

Basically Rob and Linda Balder had a 24 year old son that died recently after getting in jail for raping a 13 year old.

I think Erfworld has broke some new record on being dead. The author nuked the whole site down, forums, fanfiction, wiki, everything (except the store). And then went around asking the owners of other webcomics to shut down any erfworld discussions and had the comic removed from gitp too. Twitter de...

With a big league of legends tournament coming up, Riot outright warning their players to avoid political topics.

Update, seems like people in the Blizz forums talking about this getting banned.

So seems like Blizzard doubling down on their stance.

Considering the ongoing "it's Chinese sypware" accusations leveled at the Epic Store, I suspect that Tim Sweeney has to be very vocal about how he totally isn't a Chinese puppet regardless of how far Ma Huateng's hand is jammed up his ass. Actually they've recently announced that they won...

Damned Blizzard, I'm gonna stop giving them my money! ... Oh wait, I already started doing that years ago. It's important to remember though that American corporations do not love liberal democracy and are happy to sell out any number of people or groups to the Chinese Communist Party. The corporati...

Or if the player gets dropped to critical health, tha last bit of health will actually last more or even carry a few moments of invulnerabilitiy. You know that trope where a character has powers they don't understand that kick into full gear when they're in the most dire circumstances? Probably a y...

if you wanted the GM – sorry, I mean Seneschal Oh cool we're renaming the GM/DM right off the bat. That's not gonna stick. It never does. Why do games do that, by the by? For the same reason many mecha shows create new fancy names for their giant robots. They're not trying to make it stick for ever...

Adding to the above, I just saw an interesting video talking about "stealth" dynamic difficulty. Basically when the game's challenge depending on the game performance. Like if the player dies in a section, the local enemies become easier with less numbers or abilities. Or if the player get...

And secondly, you might actually want to do the story where the guards show up and arrest the protagonists and make them go fight the monster without asking why the same guards don't go arrest the monster. If the player characters are intermediate in level to the guards and the dragon, and the numb...

Thinking about it, in MMORPGS they don't (or most probably can't ) support controllers. There's status effects, but bosses are plain immune to most of those, fuck you. So that leaves only 3 roles in most MMORPGS: -Tank that specializes in attracting enemy attacks and surviving said attacks. -Damage ...

Probably something made in Japan.

Maybe everyone should have X amount of flaws (where X can be zero), assuming each flaw is more-or-less balanced? Not all flaws are equally disruptive to other players. If I'm playing a master planner type like Batman and one of my party members has a flaw of 'blabbermouth', my cheerios are thorough...

The failed design behind Defenders and Leaders has been discussed, but have we talked about the failed design behind Controllers? The Controller role is defined by screwing up the DM's plans. Because 4E D&D revolves around its combat engine, this means action denial. Because 4E D&D has a si...

The reason why RAW and RAI are there is because writing rules is an artistic endeavour And just like with art or music what you produce may not be what you wanted to produce So sometimes you want your rules to do XYZ. But either due to small errors, incompetence or lack of perspective you instead p...

How to declare a tech attack is another question A player delays their turn to be on the same initiative as the partner then they use the attack? This seems best for the “channel flames into sword” “he stabs and I channel lightning into the blade” Or somehow organically fit it into the combat syste...

Also for all we know Youmu can fly by swording just like she can do sword danmaku. While we can stay here discussing Touhou all week, it's not the thread theme and the quoted bit is the key: By the end of the day Youmu behaves as a magic user, just as any character in the series*. But like a youxia...

-Can even cut conceptual stuff like slicing somebody's fear to make them braver. So even "swording" can do a lot of stuff if you push it enough. Being a wizard is just "saying words and thinking about things" that's been pushed really, really far. Saying words, thinking about th...

If you make a fighty dude able to participate reasonably in level appropriate adventures no one gives a shit about anything else. Really that's the whole ball game. The real issue is that 'fight' has a lot less conceptual space and therefore problem solving applicability than 'uses magic'. We've ha...

I figure it's only a matter of time Bandai feels like entering the 28mm wargames market I actually saw an article where they were trying to do Gundam build Divers closer to reality, aka online matches where your unit stats are based on a scan of your gunplas. Still the gundam universe has plenty of...

Sphech merines turned out stupidly popular. Like half the playerbase are sphech merines players. So of course GW does a zillion sphech merines spin-offs because they will sell. Just look at Horus Heresy. No xenos. No Even fewer girls that aren't even allowed to talk. Just sphech merines. And popular...

Anyway, the larger issue there is that in World War 2 the pastoralists were the bad guys and the industrialists were the good guys. Wait, whot? Both Germany and Japan were as heavy in the industry as the other sides back then. The japanese ran out of skilled pilots and just started putting rookie p...
