Galen(iyel) – angsty half-elf Mystic Archer

Bygamingballistic

We’re gearing up for another Dungeon Fantasy-style campaign, this one more hex-crawl-like. Lots of wilderness, some dungeons. +Syndaryl calls it Chaos Scar, a properly evocative name. Last game, run by +Nathan Joy, I played Cadmus, a Warrior Saint. Fun character, but limited in some ways. This time, I wanted to go back to my roots, and try my…

Where do all those extra bullets go?

Bygamingballistic

In my comments on Rapid Fire and Shotguns in GURPS Fourth Edition, Roger Bay-West’s GURPS 101 post, I noted that he didn’t touch on hit location. This is a bit of an oddity in the GURPS rules if you think about it too much. If I fire a birdshot load with (say) #6 steel shot…

Bygamingballistic

We started out remembering that we had some magic items to divvy out, since last time we forgot to distribute the freakin’ Ring of Zombie protection. There were lots of dead undead (?!), and a human figure with a wooden stake driven through the visor of his helmet. The mail is decent quality; this guy…

Sample 5e Characters – Rogue (Assassin)

Bygamingballistic

Here’s the next mundane character in the line, this time the Rogue. The rogue’s signature ability in combat, available to all rogues, is the sneak attack. Balanced against that is that the rogue will only get one attack in combat, ever (without multiclassing). The rogue is fundamentally a skills expert, however. With many allowed skills…

Why the five games chosen for Violent Resolution?

Bygamingballistic

Over on the GURPS Forums, someone wondered why I’d chosen the games I chose. Why those in particular? Well . . . If you’re doing gaming you HAVE to do D&D. Whether it’s D&D5 or Pathfinder is your call, but that was the first big popular system and more or less remains so. D&D is…

  2. Yes, they look like Dragon Dice to me too. Among their problems was that you could only buy random packs, and while people fell for this with Magic: The RPG Killer they didn't seem to be prepared to put up with it for something as bulky as dice, especially when you pretty much needed a themed force to get anywhere.
