Café de Nuit

elliott feels that by continue to speak about himself in 3rd person, he might be able to inflat his social value enough to make it seem like HMB is just having sour grapes.

*monocles*

The Grind design has often been employed by game designers who often feel that more time at play = greater enjoyment, and thus increase the leveling requirements just to make gameplay last longer. (Yeah, imagine what brilliant bean counter came up with THAT idea)

it should never be a problem when it comes to your own players, me thinks. The problem with homebrew is pretty much an online one, in my opinion.

if you're not too opposed to just using somebody else's interpretation of excalibur, here's what I think of it: Excalibur This +5 Vorpal Holy Avenger can only be wielded by someone of the royal bloodline and is of LG alignment. If wielded by someone who does not meet the requirements, the sword best...

homebrew does not get much love because of 1. homebrew material, more often than not, is just not very well thought out. (Especially when it's from someone on the internet who does not really explain or justify the material or the choices made) 2. homebrew material usually does not have a lot of sup...

I think a note is in order, looking at that picture a second time. HMB and Elliott20 are not gay lovers. Neither of them is gay, and in any case, even if one of them were, hypothetically speaking, the least that could be said is that he would have better taste than to date Elliott20. elliott20 is u...

one of the things we need to do before this is to figure out what the old religion was like. Maybe at least pick out the deity and the deity portfolio

I just like the online tools. though, to be honest, I would never actually replace f2f games for online ones.

a lot of the balance issues comes from our perception as to what is considered "balanced" and what is considered "playable". hell, I'm pretty sure when we see the word balance, we all have different definitions in mind which probably results in different implementation. With D&am...

well, when I say mini-golem, really what is being suggested is just robotics in a smaller scale. This way, instead of having to construct a 100,000 GP iron golem to flip a damn switch, you might get away with just constructing a 400 GP iron arm that does the same thing, but takes up less space. Also...

oh yeah, what about a level that specializes in baleful polymorphing creatures that walk into it? it's not that it's that effective or anything. It's just that, the idea of azalin accidentally turning himself into a rat during construction (and therefore making him into a lich rat) is too funny to p...

I wonder if there are such things as "mini-golems" where it's basically just a small robot.

oh wait, I wasn't aware there was a difference between Atropal Scion and an Atropal. Nevermind then. a CR 21 atropal scion is quite the stiff challenge, but perhaps not unmanageable I guess. (though, it could still, with a couple bad rolls, bring about a TPK) Anyhoo, your final decision makes sense ...

the only motivation I have right now for switching is not really for the new mechanics but for the fringes that come with it. apparently, they are also talking about marketing an online member subscription sort of deal that allows you play these games online via an engine they've developed using VOI...

new edition = new books and more moolah for WotC.

3.5E, I CHOOSE YOU!!! *Hurls 3.5E books at people*
