The Gaming Den

Well to give the 5e team credit for instituting a bad idea to its full extent creatures that dont deal full damage at their CR tend to have spellcasting levels, or some special ability.

How useful said ability or spellcasting is varies, but you gotta give their bad idea credit.

I guess my party has been having bad luck. The GM just tries to follow CR guidelines and it can always one shot a PC.

Also every monster for the apropriate CR is desighned to do enough damage to knockout a single avarage player PC per round.

I like playing giant Stompy Monsters.

Man I just don't have good luck on this forum. Every time I open my gob I sound like im 13 years old. Maybe its best I don't post these at 3 AM Originally Posted by WithScience View Post Everything spoiled in the insider was already spoiled in the leak, and Soles said he wasn't going to spoil anythi...

Holy crap, things are heating up. Jason soles needed to issue and APOLOGY for being a shit asshole. Also something else: Quote Originally Posted by Asdrubael View Post @WithScience - I agree with your feelings towards the vibe of that thread and the weird, tepid responses.

Well a simple thing is making them act slower (In initiative). You can explain it away that just because a robot thinks fast doesn't mean it can act fast.

Robots that act fast are highly specialized and with limited mobility.

That could be a start.

To be fair drones are robots. Its akin to hiring a guy with a gun. I mean of course you get extra combat actions. Because they are an extra floating gun.

Im not sure how thats unfair. How do you balance the ability to just buy an extra robot?

Well most of the game was leaked in what looks like at least some of the finalized draft (Because it leaked accurate data before the official information came out). Any yeah. PP fixed the game perfect. There are no flaws. Its so perfect that it hovers and glows in midair. In all seriousness it seems...

You know as cancerous as the PP fanbase on the PP forums is, its a whole new dimension on 4Chan. But I don't know what I should have expected.

Well in effect, this would require balancing out spells and shit for Warmachine AND Hordes but a simple pimple satisfying solution is two separate pools of focus for Warjacks and Spells/ Defense. Maybe double the focus score, and split it in half (And again rebalance casters). Warjacks spend focus d...

You know, the super frustrating aspect of PP design, is how slapdash it is. There is always abstract handwaving, but never any specific thought into any of their design. I can almost see the designing shrugging and putting their hands in the air saying "I dunno.....Immovable maybe?" When d...

I'd love updates. I have a bunch of friends who are deep in the Warmachine scene and I'd like ammunition to needle them without developing another forum addiction. OOOOOH. Well in that case, Il do it so you don't have too: A: More crutch mechanics. You get even more free points to get warjacks with...

Because Im a crazy person with nothing better to do, I have been keeping up with the changes that PP has been doing. Its fascinating for PP to slowly descend into the same company practices that GW was doing, and how people defend them for it despite the action being impossible evil a month ago. Boi...

Sorry, I once again apologize for my bizarre title. I was rushing and I should have but more effort into the post. I mean in this forum "Play like you got a pair" is universally reviled, so my joke was that the new design philosophy will be based off the female Angler fish which has multip...

I was just joking. Didn't know this was the game to not be spoken of.

Not enough PAIRS for you to play with? Your dice too small? Well prepare, for the most perfect and balanced game in the multiverse-To get perfect again! Warmachine MKIII: If you didn't see this coming your a moron! http://privateerpress.com/community/privateer-insider/letting-the-jack-out-of-the-bag...

Damn. Didn't know it worked that way in this forum. Well all the magic's gone.

The thread about AI going Rampant is the thread that breaks. Coincidence I think not. I think we already know what AI escaped the Microsoft control. And as a humanist I don't think AI would hate humans (Being a humanitarian is unpopular nowadays I know). If it was complex enough to understand varied...

People do all kinds of stories where AI killbots get corrupted by humanist ideals Id HOPE and AI would get corrupted by Humanist ideals. Thats how it will not kill us. I think it would be more interesting not as just a big boogety AI ( "Look at me, I kill suff"), but as some kind of geniu...

In case you didn't know Microsoft developed a sort of Joke AI that would learn from Tweets and such. Within 24 hours in was turned into a white racial supremacist by a bunch of shitposters. Not only would it constantly Tweet racial supremacy things and found Hitler "Master Swag" but also r...

It was the execution I realize as I calm down. After defeating the Final boss in a totally awesome showdown, there is this nice speech about how "The corporations just want us to believe we can't make a difference because we can!" only for Lofwyr to just swoop in and say "LOLZ everyth...

Well its not missing it. Just don't have shit suddenly take credit for what you did. Thats obnoxious and so unmotivating. See some evil plot brewing? Whatever, a Dragon has a handle on that, and probably a rival Dragon as well. Either have the Dragon hire you from the beginning or have them be blind...

That sound great. I purchased all of them in a steam sale, so happy to see where this goes.
