The Gaming Den

Even K's example is pretty anime. Look at the club the ogre/giant thing is holding, it's really only a handle and the rest of it's lying in pieces on the ground. Which means swordswoman just cut through what's basically a tree with a few sword strokes.

Did someone write up a WOF rule set while I was not looking, or have we been reduced to having furious ad hominem laced arguments about games that don't even fucking exist? Going back to the op, I think if you wanted to adapt WOF to urban fantasy, or at least Shadowrun, you would want to make the wh...

The Annotated Sherlock Holmes, the Baring-Gould version, to my daughter. Game On, fbmf That's odd. I just started listening to the original Sherlock Holmes books. I needed something to do while sweating off some pounds at the gym, and I found some free audiobooks. I heartily recommend them as they ...

What exactly are your alpha dog tendencies that she dislikes about you? That can be a wide range of things. Do you think she is interested in you? Try to be upfront with her if you have any signals. I have rarely seen anyone succeed with the "I will pretend to be friends but really I want somet...

I liked morrowind, but it had shit for tactical combat. Seriously, chain buffing yourself with potions made you that much better than else tactics were meaningless. When you are so badass that the system can't even display your stats by the time you hit the second town, what you do in combat just do...

Core only caster druids have it pretty bad really. Looking at save spells, Level 1 has the best level 1 save or lose in the game, entangle. Level 2 has got nothing for non animals. Level 3 has got dominate animal and contagion, which both blow. Level 4 has...uh...command plants and repel vermin. Lev...

Congratulations on the house. You are really hitting the market at the right time. My mom has been trying to sell hers for some time now. Speaking of Monster, is there anyway to signal that you are no longer looking for work? I found a job by some miracle, but its still sending me emails about job o...

I am curious as to why Frank hates the Conceptual Balance mod so much, since it seems to be fairly well accepted in the Dominions community.

I am also hoping he responds to this in the form of a funny and scathing rant.

Vnonymous I have no idea what that thing even is.

I liked it, although it is really unfinished.

Of those choices the only one I have played is Rifts. And all I can say is don't choose Rifts. Seriously, I like Rifts but all the mechanics are shockingly bad. I think I played for more than a year and I still don't really understand everything. It's one of those books where you pretty much have to...

Possible Core options: Item Shrinker Shrink down vats of acid or alchemeist's fire, hurl them at enemies, unshrink them, laugh at the hilarious consequences. Heck, you might not even have to worry about having volatile chemicals and just use the weight of your objects. I think Frank posted a wizard ...

Oddly enough, Allstate is fairly well known for their evil, at least in the legal world.

Just listening does a pretty good job of locating an opponent, since they have to win a skill check at minus 20 disadvantage, although that still gives a miss chance.

I think there is a bow mod at crystal keep that negates concealment.

I took incompetent: Shuttle piloting or something else equally unlikely to be needed and space related. My GM got me back by making every person we interacted with identify me as that moron that crashed a space shuttle into a petting zoo.

PR, I have learned so much from you showing us that a supermodel is more pleasing to look at than some weird guy with no eyebrows. What other wisdom can you impart?

Diablo is the huge sticking point for a summoner necro. He just deals out way too fucking much area effect damage. If you have decrepify and a clay golem, that can help a lot. Your level is really important when fighting him. The first time I did it I got smashed again and again. the second time I p...

The 3.5 archer is actually pretty doable. It's rough in the beginning and you probably just want to carry a halberd or something and chop fools up. But once you can get a decent composite bow you can generally put out enough damage to drop a level appropriate foe. You can generally get a decent bow ...

I never played 3.0, but I did do some 3.5 archery. Here are some suggestions. Horse archery is really powerful. Having a horse and a bow will even kill traditional stumping monsters like that giant fucking crab. Even just having a regular horse will pump your speed up to uncatchable, but 3.0 also ha...

what about Monsters Do It Differently? Monsters take 10 on attack / defense rolls. Players rolls it out. Your player is rolling something any time he attacks or IS attacked, but you don't have to worry about monster rolls except when it's a BBEG. In addition to what souran said, this causes some pr...

I would generally use silent image to drop a fake stinking cloud or cloud kill on top of my own party. They would know it was fake a soon as they tired to breathe and get to see through it. Then everyone starts shooting outwards until someone figures it out. Combine with real cloud spells for best r...

Has this been posted here before, because it is a pretty good illustration of this whole problem.

If you want to be a patent lawyer there are special requirements. I don't know what those are because I did not pursue it, but even if you don't go into patent law it is supposed to be something nice on your resume if you have the option. That being said, I highly recommend you stay out of the legal...

Same here, although I am just refreshing and it seems to work.

While the original Mechs might have come from those universes, they were smart enough not to saddle them with the lame assed storylines those universes had. I honestly can't even watch that crap, because the sight of Mecha doing acrobatics and flying and other stupid shit makes me throw up in my mo...
