Effectronica posted:Well, since this is apparently the thread for stupid poo poo, I decided on a lark to take a look at the number of possible 1st-level human fighters in 2nd edition Dungeons and Dragons (chosen because it was somewhat closer than my 4e book). Overall, it works out to 125 trillion possible ones using non-weapon proficiencies, but only in-class ones, and ignoring things that have zero game-mechanical effect. Reducing this to fighters that get bonus XP from having high STR only drops us to 120 trillion. Much of this comes from extraordinary STR and from weapon proficiencies. Reducing extraordinary STR to the five meaningful categories drops us down by half to 60 trillion, 58 counting only ones that get bonus XP. Cutting out NWPs, we have 8.5 billion characters, 7.8 billion of which get bonus XP. Cutting out weapon proficiencies drops us down to 15,200/14,080. Yeah, totally.

Queen Fiona posted:What, you don't like my SHODAN references? Solid choice of source material, iffy execution. Took too long to get to the point. Ningyou posted:"don't like" "SHODAN" I could easily understand being iffy on her, she only shows up for real just before the level quality in SS2 starts to tilt downward so it's hard for me not to associate her with that and she's not quite as memorable in SS1. Fantastic reveal though.

NachtSieger posted:I have so many things I want to run (I don't write them down, but I definitely know what I want to run, either in really specific ideas, or just the desire to run a system), but I'm really bad at starting games, and getting PCs together 90% of my games end in the first or second session (or even before it begins). I have vague/less vague clues of what I'm doing wrong, but failing is so discouraging and it builds up in this below the surface resentment and fear and strikes like a snake and then I never get around to doing it or just quitting. 90% of games end in a single digit number of sessions regardless of GM. There's a lot of logistics things that can go wrong that have little to nothing to do with your GM style. Don't take it too personally, just keep at it.

Fungah! posted:i;ve seen people do it on sa before and i've read short essays from people who defend robert howard's racism because it's just fantasy, chill out. i'll admit though, don't have any of it in front of me and i didn't see it in here. mostly wanted to bring up the cross burning thing becauise not many people know about that letter It's a worthwhile ability to be able to recognize good things in a work, and to simultaneously acknowledge bad things, without the former excusing the latter or vice versa.

Yeah, I'm definitely not going to be excusing that.

Nuns with Guns posted:thanks for reminding me to buy Scholar of the First Sin (DS2). i was holding out for daily deals but i realized i haven't actually been checking for those at all Looks like they dropped the upgrade price by ten bucks too, before it was a total rip. If it doesn't go daily/flash I'll grab it on the last day.
