  1. Picking calibers to include? (Deus Ex/Bloodline style shooter hybrid, but applicable to other RPGs)

    Doctors are probably unlikely to give an unbiased opinion on the terminal ballistics of any caliber. But yes, as stated, people have been shot in the head at point blank with a .22 and survived. On the other end of the spectrum, there has been a single confirmed polar bear kill with a .22. Very...

  2. Picking calibers to include? (Deus Ex/Bloodline style shooter hybrid, but applicable to other RPGs)

    About the only time .22 behaves the way you describe is in the rare case of an eye shot or a contact shot. Penetrating head wounds from any decent range are going to be very rare. Another consideration is the use of Suppressors. Slower projectiles (under 1100 fps at the muzzle) will be much...

  3. Games with 30 mins-1 hour runs

    Lost Labyrinth is particularly good for such short runs.

  4. Graphics whore thread - serious decline in videogame graphics since 2007

    This thread made me go look at some art on pixel joint. Found this: Not from a video game (inspired by WoW I believe) but very nice. (User Elk over at Pixeljoint)

  5. Decline Crapsack world, y u no crapsack?

    Nice to see so many medieval sociologists weigh in here. I personally couldn't agree more.

  6. Best PNP RPGs?

    I mentioned it in another thread off topic, so I'll mention it here on topic: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/114920/Blade-of-the-Iron-Throne-BW-Edition Really intended for fans of the original Riddle of Steel game. If you aren't or are but haven't played in ages the book is a little...

  7. What's the difference between the AD&D editions?

    Fair enough. After 20 years of playing various editions of D&D, I would be lying if I said I didn't have a good time with it :) Another plus for BotIT, the artwork pissed off the SJW component of rpg.net to no end.

  8. What's the difference between the AD&D editions?

    None. Grab a copy of this instead: http://rpg.drivethrustuff.com/product/125508/Blade-of-the-Iron-Throne-Color-Edition Fanmade update to The Riddle of Steel. Way better than any flavor of D&D.

  9. The Ten Most Essential RPGs

    The best game mechanics (any genre/type) are ones that strongly tie into the theme or flavor of the game. Cool downs do none of this. They are mainly a way to balance various in game powers in a manner that requires almost no thought or creativity. I put them in the same category as QTEs or...

  10. The Ten Most Essential RPGs

    Nothing with cool downs is the best "mechanic wise".

  11. Your favorite PnP RPG system?

    The Riddle of Steel with some homebrewing going on.

  12. Cult: Awakening of the Old Ones

    Looks very promising. I love dwarf fortress' concept, but I'm not enough of a bro to handle the ascii and interface.

  13. Please remove this " moderator approval " feature for new users

    Hey, I've broken rules and generally made a mockery of those around me. Can you suggest a method of obtaining a new identity that gets me free and clear of all that? You know, but is still honest?

  14. Vapourware Daggerfall Unity isnt Vaporware

    Theoretically capable of adding much more than graphics. Full mod support could be very interesting. I'm still hoping for multiplayer coop.

  15. Please remove this " moderator approval " feature for new users

    Always find it funny when new people join a forum and immediately have ideas on how to make it better.
