Now that the dust settled and everyone got it out of their systems, we can have a proper discussion about Age of Sigmar.
What is /tg/'s opinion on the game and new setting? It is the success GW hoped it would be?
>>43535140
its a success
its a failure
/thread
I think it's neat, but really would have prefered it somehow exist alongside WHFB. It's not really a replacement for Fantasy in tone or in function, and while I kind of like it on both a fluff and crunch perspective, I don't like having my game of choice executed and gutted to make it happen.

He had a new character and was dicking about. Different ckey, different ip, same computer ID. I'm guessing the perma unintentionally booted him off.
Hey everyone, I figured it'd be better to ask this on here rather than on /d/ since I figure people here would have better ideas, mechanics, and simply fun-wise.
I'm make a vore-based class in 5e, and I'm looking for ideas or discussions from anyone interested in talking about it. I have some ideas of my own, but I'm always eager to hear about those of others.
I love this website.

It's got a lot of kooky characters on it, myself included, doesn't it?

Please, no. My penis is trying to retract back into my scrotum, that's how terrified I am.
So what are the pros and cons, besides caster supremacy, of 3.5, /tg/?
A few people I know want to run a campaign using it, but none of us really know what we're getting into.
Caster supremacy isn't even a problem until the higher levels, unless you're playing with hardcore min-maxers.
The biggest problem with 3.5/PF is how it's a combat system first and a roleplaying system second. It doesn't lend itself well to tackling problems in creative or non-combat ways, and making a character who is good at non-combat skills often involves sacrificing alot of combat strength and survivability.
3.5 was conceived as Ivory Tower gaming, vaguely built around a CCG model where players would buy books for new rules and experiment with various character builds the same way CCG. 3.5 is not a tactical wargame (like chainmail or 4e) or even a tactical rpg (like AD&D), it's a very difficult character building game. The decisions made and dice thrown in game play matter very little compared to the effort put into building a character.
This leads to either very strong generalist characters based around flexibly solving scenarios and circumventing threats (Conjuration...

Basically Magic users are totally useless until they level enough to wrek everything in sight, not saying it's balanced but, rather they just have classis taking turns of been totally broken. There is also 'trap options' bound.
As for its being role-play versus role-play it is a assumed you're gonna be spending most of your time combat. That doesn't mean you can't build of character for other stuff but just remember...

in pathfinder would a character that has a class ability that makes them immune to disease also be immune to addiction
>>43534612
Considering you can have gay paladins I would say no.
>>43534612
I think there was an old 3.5 splat that covered this... I think it was POISON immunity that made you immune to addiction (At least for most drugs) but it did that by having them not work on you at all
>>43534612
IIRC addiction in Pathfinder is specific to each addictive substance, but the majority of them are classed as diseases so by the rules yes.
It makes for a fun idea of paladins popping loads of drugs, but sadly by and large there are no really effective combat/social drugs in PF.

fuck it boys, let's get this started off with a /tg/ related thing: I'm tinkering with the idea of a fleet-scale (that is to say, 5-50 capital ships per side) SW wargame concept, and I'm seeking out suggestions for rules, resolution mechanics (i'm big on percentile, right now) etc

you sir are a saint.
William D. Porter was running at top speed through the streets of Yokosuka Naval Base, terrified out of her mind. Her eyes were scrunched tightly shut, tears forming at the corners, as she made a blind dash for freedom from the terrifying specter looming behind her, one from whom she could never seem to escape.
"Great job! You're as fast as I thought!" Shimakaze shouted encouragingly from her place close behind. "But you would be so much faster if you put this on!"
Gasping at how CLOSE Shimakaze sounded, Willie whipped her head around,...

"I-I-I k-keep telling, you, I don't w-wanna-"
"Uh, Willie, look out for that-"
And then Willie ran face-first into a brick wall.
"...Ouch," Shimakaze observed, screeching to a halt. "Uh, are you okay, Willie? Did you shift in time?"
Wordlessly, Willie slid down the wall, face-first, until she hit her knees. Overcome with pain and the sheer humilation of running into a STUPID wall right in front of STUPID Shimakaze, she burst into tears, unsuccessfully trying to hide her mortification behind her hands.

"Sure. Your first voyage was with a mostly green crew, who made all of the mistakes one would expect of a mostly green crew, and accidentally shot a torpedo at President Roosevelt." Willie sobbed louder. "Embarrassing, but it hardly makes you a screw-up."
"That wasn't all of it though," Willie moans.
"Eh, who cares," Shimakaze shrugged. "That was then, this is now. Clean slate and stuff, you know."
"I... huh?" Willie blinked. "What... how can you say that?"
"Look," Shimakaze said, sitting down next to Willie. Her pose showed off a lot more than the American destroyer was comfortable with. More than usual, that was. "I understand where you're coming from. Our current state of being can be very confusing. My personal theory is that we're animate gestalts of multiple soul impressions gathered around a central consciousness influenced by both external views of us and our own perceptions of ourselves."
Willie's mind went blank, both from a certain existential dread at Shimakaze's offhand words, and the fact that she had no goddamned clue what the blonde destroyer was prattling on about.
"What," she finally offered.

It starts in a forest with an elf. Not just any elf. A female dark elf.
It is extremely self-referential and everyone is aware of just how many boxes they live in.

You open your eyes, the nights rest have provided naught but dreams full of blue boxes.
You look yourself over.
You are xerxiphena, ravishing dark elf ranger.
You know that you are quick and deadly. A dark, beautiful grace filling your every movement. you are a shadow, and a shadow with quire a good bow arm at that.
you also appear to be naked in the woods.

>QM question
Mostly coming up with either a gimmick or a pun. It sounds dumb, but hear me out. I keep that idea in mind when I make the character, then flesh out how they became who they are and a logical character progression. Then I come up with what they excel at and what they lack. Finally, I consider dynamics with the rest of the cast and decide if I use them. Everything but that happens as the quest does.
Except random encounters. Those come out of my ass.
So, I've had a really disappointing thing happen recently.
I found out Archelon is still writing PGQ asides, and I was all ready to read it. I started reading it, and then noticed that almost half of it was fellating Monique over that fucking Duel.
I'm serious.
It was maybe 30 paragraphs long and over 13 of those were talking about how handsome and strong Monique is and how he totally won that duel fair and square with no rolling bullshit involved.
Which leads me to one question. Why? Why is he doing this? I just wanted a small aside...

I was in the middle of typing up a comment about VTMIV so that's what our topic is.
Masquerade 4e is going to be post Gehenna. What do you think Masquerade--or either World of Darkness as a whole--would look like post apocalypse? It's unlikely the world as a whole will have realized anything even happened, but the idea of how the various supernaturals would react in that situation is a neat idea.
Has anyone used the post apoc Mirrors suggestions?

If the setting for VtM Fourth Edition isn't close to or exactly the same as By Night Studio's version of the setting, I'll eat my hat. That's probably the only way you can do a post-Gehenna setting without the world blowing up.
>>43532253
How'd they do it? "Gehenna was a bust"?
I vaguely recall people talking about it, but saying that it was basically not all that big a deal for most of the world.
I just think that a post-apocalypse would be cool to play from the perspective of most WoD organizations and characters.

This was the last official word on it, at least outside of the VtM forums (which I don't frequent).
You are Irue Valen, blood heir to House Valen, a lineage of nobility whose grandeur dated back to before the founding of this country. Your last name was worthy of being recognized across any border, capable of granting you audiences with any number of royalty - Foreign or otherwise. Unfortunately, you couldn't quite say the same about your first name. In the past few months since the beginning of your Rite of Initiation, a lot has happened; A good intentioned betrayal by your cousin, the meeting of your Testaments, the recruitment of an entire brigandry into your personal knights, more than a few unexpected and less than profitable encounters with Mana, discovering that you'd been purposefully isolated from the world for most of your life...
It was in Carona you had discovered that last part. In this town - several months ago, before its gates were closed and vigilantly watched by guards - you had come to the disturbing realization that despite being the rightful heir to the entirety of House Valen, the owners of the very land this town resided on, not one person knew who you were. You had experienced a variety of hardships back then, ranging from petty frustrations to outright offense, and now you were back. If the outward appearance of a town dedicated to keeping people out of its walls had not been a strong enough hint, the fact you had been accosted by some ill-trained idiot was more than enough to plainly state that this town seemed to be intent on continuing its role as a thorn in your side.
"I detained someone I want questioned." You relay the events to Dullem as soon as you arrive, dismissing his hesitation as he makes his first order to actually go detain someone under your command. "Where's Rinnier?" You skip ahead, looking around for a glimpse of the red haired spitfire that you had the (mis)fortune of calling your Testament.
"Carona, as far as we can tell." Dullem admitted after an awkwardly silent moment.
What.
Your train of thought promptly screeched to a halt. "She was supposed to find out what was going on and then come back." Your voice rose a little, crimson eyes narrowing at Dullem as your Knight Captain fidgeted a little. "We don't know what happened down there, but it looked like she talked to the guard for a few minutes, then something went wrong. They took her inside by force."
...
"I judged that we couldn't get down there in enough numbers to do anything about it in time, and we'd have risked losses from...
