The Gaming Den

Repeating my request for Nightbane, pretty please!

ghost_whistler seems to be so engaged in his mindcaulk, he's not even aware that mindcaulk is a thing. It's both amazingly sad and amazingly hilarious to watch. Keep doin' what you do, ghost_whistler.

I'll bear with it.

I believe that bearly qualifies as a threat.

Well, yes... but although it's a delicious herb, I don't know if it's safe to inhale. I think it would be more effective to consume it via tisane. Which is also tasty, and reasonably safe. But I suspect consuming enough to have a noticeable psychological effect would also go well into a danger zone...

Wormwood's pretty toxic, which is why it's used to kill intestinal worms. Its thujone, which absinthe is famous for, isn't actually all that potent. Sage has more. There are other substances in its essential oil that are fairly poisonous, though. I wouldn't inhale vaporized fluid made with it. Inte...

Is wormwood a safe thing to vape? If so, what temperature should I use? Is there anything I should bear in mind before I try it?

I read the last part as 'or succumb to Space Marines.' Thought I'd mention that.

I believe a lot of 'metagaming' arises from the fact that most game designers eat too much paste to think through whether their rules end up encouraging the kinds of actions their setting should. But as you mention, the rules are the game world, and thus, if there's a disconnect between what the rul...

You missed a 0 on '6th' in there.

That's my actual name. In real life.

Game On,

Thanks, Mighty Barrier-Erector!

Could I have my name changed to 'koz' (without the quotes, obviously)?

Does it ever?

I would love to see a review of Nightbane. I would write it myself, but I don't consider myself competent.

Does anyone have access to a copy of this? Lokathor took all his AS stuff down, and I'd really like one.

Modern in my case means 'stuff that's not older than me'. Meaning that would have been written in the 90s and later.

This is mostly directed to AncientHistory as our resident Mythos expert, but I welcome any and all thoughts on this. What do you need, at minimum, to read and be familiar with to 'know what you're talking about' when it comes to the modern work on Lovecraftian stuff? Basically, a nice list of titles...

Slight correction there - Onmyodo is the magic type. The user is called an Onmyoji.

This question comes mostly in relation to this: does smoking weed actually help glaucoma? I mean, I'm not a doctor, but I'm not sure how that would help an eye condition.

Basically, recently, I decided I really miss wargaming, like, with miniatures. However, for many reasons, I don't want to give a dime to GW. However, I am not well-schooled on the alternatives. A couple of things I am looking for: - Fantasy or sci-fi (not historical, basically) - Decent scale (28mm ...

FF13 had one (Sazh Katsroy).

Does anyone here have any thoughts on LA C'tis? I recall that someone mentioned that Sauromancers were awesome, but them being StR kinda hurts. Also, from what I can see, LA C'tis has bad troops (low morale for everyone!), despite having pretty awesome-looking undead available. I guess I'm just not ...

That has to be the most meaningless degree in existence.

Congratulations, Surgo! I've still gotta start my PhD....

Does anyone have any advice for playing LA Ulm? More specifically, some advice on early expansion and early research would be very much appreciated.
