If I want to get into tabletop RPG's over the internet (mostly interested in Dark Heresy but open to anything), how should I get started?
I've been lurking /tg/ for the better part of a decade now, but never actually got into proper tabletop hobbies because money/space/uninterested friends.
Find people to play with.
Hope they are ready to commit to a game.
Hope they aren't assholes.
Arrange a time to play.
Play.

That's another problem.
I'm going overseas in a few months, to a country where I don't think there's nearly the same kind of interest in these things, and where there will be a sizable language barrier for at least a few months, probably longer.
As for finding people online, I don't know where to go. I have a friend or two that would be interested, but none of us have GM experience.
I'd ask if anyone here was planning on running a game, but I did that years ago,...

the kind of people who post on /tg/ looking for games to play are not going to be ones with a lot of experience or a lot of friends they can already play with, if you catch my drift. Sure, there's gamefinder threads, but pretty much everyone I've spoken to has been dissatisfied with the players found that way.
See if you can find a game on roll20 or something.

Hey Guys,not the anon from last thread, but does anyone have any info about Chronicles of the Gatekeeper adventure for F&D? I am looking for something to start my F&D campaign with and I am curious if it would be good for my Newbies.
Just started X-Wing last week, fucking awesome game, I'm having so much fun with it.
Holy shit it's impossible to find a modern-ish day looking woman with notable face scars, that isn't drawn so that they're creepy looking.
Trying to find a reference pic for a major NPC in my traveller campaign that's been in a war zone and old enough to have 2 kids. But it seems I'm stuck with creepy looking art, or they're all super kawaii with a eye patch.
Creepy scars, or super kawaii. Where do you guys find your reference pics?
So one of my player's PC just had sex for the first time and it was rough. Should I give them any physical penalties to deal with the pain? Maybe a limp or stinging sensation?
>>43587330
What, did they fuck a giant?
No.
>>43587330
Was it anal?
What the fuck kind of game are you even playing? Why is this even a thing you're discussing?
Hey, look at that, the 4chan header even gave me the proper reaction image for the thread
>His setting has gnome/halflings
>They have their own realm
How do you justify this, /tg/? I know that every fantasy setting is a Tolkien rip-off by this point, but offer a serious justification for this. Elves have their homeland because depending on the setting they're adapt at magic, masterful bowmen and/or a superhuman master race more than able to defend their lands against outsiders. Dwarves are short, but stocky and sturdy more than able to drive an axe or pick into things many times larger than...

>The go-to mode of every race in his setting are genocidal conquerors
LaughingElves.jpg
>>43587270
Of course not everyone is a genocidal conqueror, but peace is maintained by a certain balance of power: the belief that there is more to be gained through peace than war. A situation where war is favorable over peace is difficult to imagine when your potential enemy/trade partner/ally literally cannot defend themselves. You'd lose what, two or three guys at best when marching into a gnome village? Extremely favorable odds as far as war is concerned.
Halflings live in placid villages in remote places far from the sight of man since the genocides.
Those who travel too close to a Halfling shire are always turned back, scared off or mysteriously disappear, often before they even know how close they were to finding the village. A human who actually manages to stumble across a halfling shire finds a oldly calculated show of quaint, merry little hill folk, friendly and welcoming. They will be very offended if you refuse their hospitality and seem exceedingly polite and gracious until you finally choke to death on their...

Is it just me or is looking cool while you are fighting as important, if not more important, than actual fighting ability?
If history has taught me anything; it is Landsknecht.
And if Landsknecht has taught me anything; it is that you are completely correct.
>>43586973
Of course, that's why Genos gets the fanclubs and Saitama gets called Caped Baldy.
There's a reason Anima: Beyond Fantasy has a "Style" skill just for you to look good doing things.
Is this a concept that's been explored before? I've taken an interest in the idea of different music genres setting the mood for a cyberpunk setting and got interested in the idea after desiring to create my own version of the ghetto blaster out of an old Raspberry Pi I got me into the mood to look into old school hip hop and what not.
Punk, metal, and goth and all sorts of other rock as well as techno are all fairly indicative of the genre but what about country and cyberpunk? Jazz?
>>43586959
Country could be interesting in a cyberpunk cowboy kind of way. Wouldn't surprise me if it's been done before. The old school hip hop/rap thing could also be pretty cool aesthetically, would probably have pretty heavy themes in classism and shit like that, though that's pretty standard for cyberpunk as a whole.
It would have more of an affect on the fashion and the aesthetics of the world then anything else, unless you were looking for something less dystopian though I'm not sure you could...

I suppose. After a point it's all aethetics from there. I don't actually think you could really innovate on the theme of cyberpunk without branching out and making it not cyberpunk. Going into the the hip-hop theme would be retreading old grounds of classism and maybe a bit more racism I guess if you decide to use some kind of expy for blacks in the hood or something although I am amused by the idea of crips and bloods Shadowrun style with mages, riggers, and hackers and standard issue.

Last thread we were talking about Geist, so let's do that. How would you adjust their powers to make them fit their setting?
Of the upcoming 2e books, what rules or setting aspects do you hope get changed? What do you hope gets more focus?

naw it wouldn't horribly unbalance things, but it's not really needed. the warlock is designed and intended to have a limited selection of spells. its part of their flavor. dont change it.
what's a good alignment system for my homebrew, /tg/? also alignments general
Instead of shoehorning everything into 9 predefined categories why not have characters act according to their ideals/motivations?
>>43586758
Try to play anything else besides dnd first.
>>43586773
its designed to make young people question authority
Alright /gents/, I know how a lot of you feel about Powergamers, but I have a question about Powergaming.
Now, one aspect of Powergamers is that they oftenbut don't alwayslike the spotlight.
How would you, as a DM, feel about a player who powergames/munchkins a character for AbsoluteDefence?
Say for example a Supers game:
>The Thing
>Professor X
>Quiksilver
>The Wall
The first three being fairly standard archetypes, but then there's The Wall.
The Wall has an actual 0 in all attacking stats, but is completely indestructable and can quickly move to defend allies.
Would you allow it?
Would you be happy about it, sad, or indifferent?
>TL; DR
>Powergamer makes a munchkiney team player
>Allowed: Yes/No
Any fun stories about Powergaming are alsoas always of coursewelcome.
There's a player in my group that tries to basically do this every chance he can. It's not too annoying, but I can't help but ask why the fuck he even bothers playing if all he wants to do is ignore damage and barely participate in anything else
>>43586648
He might feel like the Party needs a Tank, or maybe he likes laughing at the pathetic weaklings who try and break through his armour.
Could he be making it by accident?
Has he done anything interesting with it/had any interesting interactions with the rest of the group?Here's half of what gave the idea for this by the by https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oXp8Th41rBsSeems like a fun way to screw around on a Downtime part of the session
>>43586615
>Would you be happy about it, sad, or indifferent?
It would be an interesting challenge to design enemies for, and a test of my creative abilities.
>Powergamer makes a munchkiney team player
>Allowed: Yes/No
Yes. The only aspects of a powergamer that are actually *bad* are a tendency to steal the spotlight and a tendency to make other players irrelevant. If they aren't present, go nuts. If anything, this sort...
