But then again I know it's more about the $$$ and I also have little interest in expensive addictive hobbies like trading cards and miniatures, heh.

TCGs are probably less expensive than miniatures by a wide margin. Paper cards are much cheaper than pewter/plastic minis.

I was directed to Eclipse Phase. Transhumanist horror RPG.

Haven't checked the thread, so it might have been mentioned, but eh.

You can be a goddamn knife fighting space octopus.

It makes sense from the standpoint that two players using the same race would need to differentiate somehow, right?

I think if it's something you willingly procrastinate instead of doing, it's not addictive.

So, can I ask you D&D buffs something?

Do you think a 15th level fighter that swings a greatsword that deals like three different kinds of bonus damage at +25/+17/+13 is sufficient for a good boss agains three or so 15th-level melee'ers and two non-direct damage dealers? Or is that too much?

[Arcvasti]

 That'd be 10d6 reliable combat damage per turn, since I'm assuming at least one attack won't hit per turn. Compare that to a CR ~16 monster and see how it holds up.

[Tawa]

Hm. Should work, I guess. Maybe pair him with a couple elite guards or something.

I posted about my coworker giving me two boxes of stuff in the happy thread. Well, I finally opened them up and sorted through them. The result is probably better for a thread such as this one.

Prepare yourself, awesomeness incoming.

The commenters on my Reddit post have already helped me to determine that Deities and Demigods is a first-edition - it includes the Cthulhu section and does not credit Chaosium.

Alright... I don't even know Tabletop all that much, and methinks you've hit the motherload.

how much bonus damage of each type

Never mind anymore. Bit late there.

[Bohandas]

Well how'd it work then?

Ok, DnD question:

Do I have any chance of learning how to play the game by just reading the manuel, or do I need someone to actually be there to help be through? Because I really want to learn to play, but I dont know anyone that does play, so I'm kind of stuck in limbo...

There's a bunch of games in Play with your buddies and FG&RP, and I'm not sure what you mean by manual. Like the SRD or PHB? If so, it would be advised to collect some other source-books depending on what role you want to play in a group.

Hm? Oh, I just went and compared it to the builds the players had and figured that it was perfectly fine.

Ohoho, you're looking for D&D? FG&RP has you covered. I learned to play off the SRD and by running my own and playing in games. I think that I'm the guy who started the D&D cascade down there. There were one or two before, but apparently three broke the limit and it just went downhill from there until there were roughly as many D&D games as there were FEF games.

There'll probably be another game within the month, whether it's because I stay up too late one night and think "Hey, I can manage 4 games! Yeah!" or somebody else (such as one of the people already down there) decides they can run another.
