So /tg/, I've been messing around with Inkarnate, making shitty maps for potential campaigns. And I was wondering, how do you guys decide to fill in maps? What sort of landmarks go where. Do you just wing it as you go, or do you plan along some guidelines?
I'll post some copypasta locations I've seen on /tg/ before, OP. These are just short summaries.
God Drums - a series of large circles of barren ground amidst the eastern steppes, which produce loud echoing sound if one marches over them.
The Bloody Willow, at the center of Eis Forest. From a distance, it appears to be normal, apart from the scarlet collar of its leaves. It regularly compels people from nearby areas to come and sleep under its branches, where they die and have all of their blood drained.
Ancient civilization dies, nomadic tribe...

Take a gander at THESE map-making skills

Also if you want to make good maps drop inkarnate and learn Photoshop.
How would you make a Minotaur society work?
How would you no magic realm?
How would you full magic realm?

What does this "minotaur" society even entail? The minotaur is a unique creature in myth, so you'd first have to define the race you just invented.
>How would you no magic realm?
I wouldn't
>How would you full magic realm?
Minotaur's always sire and/or birth more minotaurs, they have no society behind roaming tribes of raiders.

What've you done with kobolds lately, /5eg/?
>>44349534
>When you use the Attack action and attack with a onehanded weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded hand crossbow you are holding.
Nothing stopping you from using a Rapier, or any other non-twohanded weapon. The two weapon fighting rules for using light weapons aren't related in this case.
>>44349662
I introduced the way of four elements monk style into my pre-5E campaign setting with a kobold monk who has become the master of the style who teaches others his philosophy. He gives out shades instead of belts.
People often min-max into optimal efficiency, so here's a thought:
How would you max-min to make the least efficient character possible?

y-you too
Pretty nice wooden flask and cardboard crown guys!
The hollow falls under your massive blade. The cold December air bites into your lungs as you hungrily swallow breath after breath in an attempt to get the mild pain inside of you from incapacitating you. It isn’t enough. Ever since Nobuhiko revealed himself to be the traitor in the Shinigami ranks with his compatriots, and snuck off with the secret fruit of the soul that—
A crippling pain shoots through your mind. You stumble to the ground and Kouta looks at you. “Hey, Ryouichi, you okay? You’re pushing yourself pretty hard, and you sort of look like crap.”
You...

Your name is Ryouichi Sato, and you are very, very confused. You look over to Kota, your eyes wide. “Do you hear that?” You ask.
“Huh? What?” Kota asks, his quincy blade flashing.
You consider telling him about the voice you are hearing in your head, but you wonder if telling him that you are hearing a voice in your head is—“I’m hearing a voice in my head!” You shout. Huh, usually that works. I am starting to remember why we killed you.
And lo, while looking upon Kota, your boyhood did swell!
“Wait, I’m not gay,” Ryouichi did yell.
And...

No! Look, just stab your time sword into the space and—oh, I don’t think you have those powers. Right, Risa never existed so you don’t have that power. Look, I need you to get creative and go to Hueco Mundo. Nobuhiko, that fat bastard, has something I need. You need. Also there are hot Hollow Women there and Caede maybe? Oh dear, I hope she isn’t… well, it doesn’t much matter. Go to Hueco now. “Look… voice.” Monologue. “Monologue. I would love to go to Hueco Mundo and show that traitor what for, but no one can go there except hollows.”
And Berserkers who have been there before. And Angels. Oh! I wonder if Azzy is around? She could probably get us there. Yeah, pick up Ryoko, find Azzy, then nip off to Hueco. “Ryoko? That girl in our class? What does she have to do with anything?”
Kota shifts uncomfortably. Like he doesn’t know, the muggy cunt. Look, either you try one of the ideas I have, or else. “Or else what?” You ask. Or else…
A massive pain presses on your brain. You stumble to your knees, and start screaming as the pressure behind your eyeballs swells. Flesh bulges, and capillaries tear, creating a hot stream of bloody tears from your eyes and nose. Pain fills you as something in your brain pushes all the ‘Fuck you, the human body shouldn’t work anyway’ buttons, making you rather uncomfortable. “Okay! Okay!” You scream, blood oozing from your nails. Good! You peed yourself, but it all worked out, didn’t it? “I did not!” Little bit.
“Ryouichi! Hey!” Kota shouts.
“We… we need to…” You cough.
What do you need to do?
[] Get Ryoko and go find Azzy. She has to exist here.
[] Get Akira and go to Ryoko. Akira exists, right? Maybe Ryoko and open a door
[] Other, please specify

Just to make sure I get you correctly here, is everyone in the party Ridden?
>or ideas about it ?
First order of business: Look at Wraith.
Secondly, hash out a primary motivation for the human character. If I read it correctly, Spirits are often attracted to places that mirror things or emotions they embody.
Therefore I suggest playing it in a way that has the Ridden at first be simply more enthusiastic about whatever their passion it, but...

Why is Jaghatai so fucking based?

>low-hanging fruit of an insult makes somebody "based"
Because 40k writers are hacks.
As funny as it is, I never quite got why The Khan said that to Fulgrim. I didn't take Fulgrim's remark as an insult, more of an honest inquiry.

Depends on what you mean. There's the nootropic network or something within the mechanicus, they have sort sort of functioning vox relays for one planet usually, but between different planets it becomes more complicated. I tend to rule that there's some sort of long-distance range between planets of a system, but in between systems you need astropaths.

Pls no NA fags.

I rolled up a tech level 5 tribe. How would you have them not steamroll any oposing cults?
What are some other good story-driven games I can play? /v/ is dogshit and won't give proper answers.
>>44300136
Is this limited to (a)rpgs? If so:
Bloodlines
Arcanum
possibly the upcoming Torment game
If not:
many p'n'c adventures, from teh modern ones I would recommend Memoria and Primordia, to a lesser degree the Blackwell series, STASIS and Technobabylon.

Grim Fandango. Not much game in it, though.
The air was dry that day. Drier than normal. As you take a step outside of your tent into the harsh desert sun the light assaults your eyes. Beads of sweat roll down your forehead and run down to your collar, moistening the neck of your shirt, a welcome phenomena in this blistering heat.
You scan the horizon. All you can see is a large bluff in the distance, the same as the last time you looked. But it's not like you actually expected it to be any different. You just needed to see it again. That towering rock way out there on the horizon fills you with determination...

So I've been wanting to try playing dnd for about 2 weeks now. I've never played before but I'm familiar with a decent amount of the mechanics. My problem however is I can't find any sort of game anywhere. I tried the card shops nearby but every time I barely miss the players or they are playing on another night. Then I try roll20.net but then i can't seem to find just a basic game and even then I can't seem to find one that works with my schedule. Idk what else to do, any advice, places to go or look or hell if anyone wants to take me under their...

First, realize that there are some 8+ different versions of D&D with their own mechanics and playstyles, so saying you are "familiar" with the mechanics means nothing.
First, actually try when it comes to the local shops. If they have a bulletin board, put your name on it. If the shop owner isn't willing to help you out, then the shop itself is silly. When it comes to days, you need to make yourself available.
Roll20... eh, I have had no great success on it unless half the group is people...

That sucks.
I live in a small town. An hour to the nearest city of any size. I tried r20, and it wasn't great. At least it was a game, but it wasn't much of one.
I'be got an odd schedule, so game stores are pretty much out.
I feel ya anon.

I think we should discuss how I AM THE NIGHT RIDER! The rocker, the roller, the out of controller, I'm a fuel injected suicide machine!
