Off Topic Fun / Re: Anime & Manga 4: Brotherhood
« on: December 06, 2012, 04:13:48 AM »
Hey guys!

Sorry to interrupt but you are the only ones that may help me with this.

Im looking for an anime/animated movie That I saw a long time ago and scared me sh**less when I was a kid.

I remember it being about some guy with glasses and a police woman, who was hunting down a medusa-like girl.
The woman explained that some time ago, there were this pop star sisters with lot of fans that turned into monsters (I dont know  if it was because of a disease or something) with the ability to turn people into stone.
Thinking about the similarities with the medusa's myth, she blindfolds herself and (armed with a katana) enters a shady dark building with the guy.
A swat-like strike team enters the building and attacks the monsters, but gets petrified.
While the policewoman fights a monster, the guy stumbles upon one of the sisters and realises that he can see her without getting petrified, and that is her song which will kill him.
In the end, they both end up turned to stone. And that's all I remember.


Of course, thanks for your help guys! And i hope someone can tell me what did i watched :P

Thanks,
C.

Komachi is awesome, either way :P

I guess i might have a different version of the story, i'll investigate a little.

also, even if mokou overreacted, what kind of reason do you think Kaguya had when she sent the girls to Mokou? (apart from bothering her, and giving ZUN a reason to make an extra stage  ;) )

I'll point it out once I can confirm it, i'll just way 'till the playtest (my friends are a bunch of minmaxers so overpowered is not a problem), if I can keep up with them, then we have a problem :P

And you can't forget that (due to the legend it's based from), Kaguya's requests drove men insane while they tried to fullfil them, essentially driving them to death.
I'm sure Mokou should have been pretty pissed off when she found out  that her father had died while trying to marry Kaguya.

Also, in my opinion both of them are flawed characters, Mokou with her revenge and Kaguya with her overall bi****ness. Don't forget that she didn't actually reject man, she  made them think they had a chance,  that's not good at all!

And yes, Mokou is lazy to find shelter or such because she doesn't need to, in the hypothetical case that such behavior were evil or nasty in any way, Komachi and Meiling would also be, but they aren't.

And I wouldn't think of a reason why a frienldy, and loving character as Keine would befriend a her if she acted like a monster.

Finally, Kaguya (for me at least) was more of a pain that Mokou in IN (no, really, it took me half the practice to master the extra stage than kaguya's boss battle).

You really like Kaguya, Don't you?  :p

I like it, but I feel it's kind of pointless. Don't get me wrong, you did a great job, but you are essentially killing your character a little bit every time you use this discipline ,  and for people who try to keep their characters alive (like me) it's not worth the risk. I get that it's the whole point of a "forbidden" discipline, but I think it would fit more for clearly evil or flawed characters (like Flandre, Tenshi, or Yuuka) rather than for Mokou.

Well, maybe it's just that I can't bring myself to think like that about Mokou, it's a matter of opinion.

Tip: some maneuvers are not as overpowered as you think (given the cost),  they are not as different as what any minmaxer could achieve.

I think it would need some playtest to see how it works, I'll try to test it in the next few weeks and see how it turns out..

Is there any template based on Kuro for DND?

I bet you could take out the original tomb of horrors single-handedly, and unscatched  :lmao

Oh, and it's been a while since you last punched someone! The public wants more action :P

Gaming Advice / Re: Making PCs Really Hate a Reoccurring Villain
« on: January 05, 2012, 04:54:09 PM »
To be a real villain is not just to hurt their loved ones, it's to be a troll in general. Hurt the characters in the worst way possible, and only attack what's really important to them. Look at their character backgrounds and act in consequence. Don't kill their loved ones, torture them and give the character a slight chance to rescue them, then make it so they fail and are humiliated. If they care about some possession or thing, break it. And when they finally confront it, even if he's defeated, Make it such as he really Doesn't care. torture them psicologically and make them hate him in and out of character.

Lol :P

Well hi! I haven't published anything yet, although I've already contacted some publishers and sent them some of my work.  All I know is that my material has "potential" and i'm ready to publish something, but i'm waiting until i finish at least half of my carreer. What do you write about? And where do you live? i can send you a pm with my email if you want, so we can get in touch. Do you have any problems with publishers so far?

About fencing, i've been training in 2 clubs at the same time, I left the first one because they didn't teach anymore, and I'm still with a private club I've been since I'm 7 years old. Fencing is a magnificent sport. Explaining the basics will take some time, but there are 3 levels, and a fencer gets selected in the one in which he has more benefits. Each level has a different weapon and different rules, and Fencers are selected because of age and physical complexion.

Well, the genres I enjoy the most are adventure and horror, although sometimes I read sci-fi and action oriented. I also like bizarre- weird things oriented, comical novels and movies. I saw some chapters of naruto and one piece a long time ago, and they caught some of my attention.

D&D 3.5 and Pathfinder / The perfect villain?
« on: January 05, 2012, 12:31:19 AM »
Hey guys!! I was wondering how was your approach to villains in dnd, feel free to share concepts, fluff or abilites so we can achieve the most terrifying villain, or the most brutal, or something like that.

Board Business / Re: Old Boards
« on: January 04, 2012, 04:33:54 PM »
 Maybe, if money issues are really a problem, why not give permissions to some users, so they start copying the threads and important information of some specific board, and then start migrating it here? That would reduce the overall time of the migration, and thus the total costs of it. Also, it would work in case of data loss or some big problem like that, because in that case you'll have mini- databases scattered around the Internet, and data would be saved.

Just my 2 cents. Feel free to critique :)

Introduce Yourself / Heeeeey guys! I'm back!
« on: January 04, 2012, 04:16:58 PM »
Hmmmm.... Introductory thread.... What shall I say?

Hey guys! I'm Caiphon, and I'm just back from the hospital, due to a car accident. I was on the brilliantgameologists forums, and I'm quite a bit surprised for the change.

Well... About myself: I'm a writer, and my favorite game is Dnd in it's 3.5 version, but I've also played other systems, like GURPS, Coc, World of Darkness and Shadowrun, as well as some indie games.

I live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, And I have this weird love-hate relationship with the city.

Outside gaming, I'm a specialized fencer, and a lover of music, especially rock, jazz and blues.

I am a new poster to the Giantitp.com forums, and pretty much every Caiphon you see out there In the Internet.

Oh, my facebook or twitter? Sorry, that's Classified :P but of course you can send me an email and we'll get in contact.

Looking forward for this new forums!!!!

C.
