WHAT LEGACY DECK DID YOU BUY ANON?
>>47620500
This.
Also the feels are only bad if you don't play it often. 'Often' is up too your definition of course.
Fantasy scenes or environments. Bonus points for forest or swamp areas.
OP if you're not going to contribute past the first image I'm done.
>party tries to capture every single fucking person, monster, animal, or zombie they fight alive so they can 'interrogate' them
What do they expect to find out, exactly?
they're grasping desperately for plot hooks
>>47617639
About their lives, their dreams, their quirks.
And most importantly:
Their name.
>>47617639
Obviously the power that's inside, anon.
is there a game like 3.5 meets old school?
>>47617297
Castles and Crusades, perhaps?
5e tried to do that, too.
>>47617446
>>47617409
5e Didn't feel that Old school to me, it could be that when we play an OSR player usually dont have story even a name, and with the 5e campaign everyone had their backstory , also i prefer the skills and feats in 3.5
What makes a swashbuckler fun in your opinion? Do you prefer them medieval or early modern?
Early modern is a lot more interesting than medieval in general.
>>47618022
Yea, I never got all the wanking over the Middle Ages
Early modern age has a distinct flavor all its own
Nice balance between romanticism and enlightenment themes
It was the last stage of history where science and magic were one
>>47617180
Being able to do a lot of stuff (being suave, tough, dextrous, and strong) and generally being a "cool" character.
And they usually have access to guns which is cool too.
What has been the best ever /tg/-related day you've ever had?

When I got to bea player
Probably when I lost my virginity to my first DM back in middleschool.

Has anyone here played it? It's supposed to be a closer simulation to the fluff.

I hadn't heard about it, but I'll check it out. The part about Ascension really caught my eye; I always loved the idea of Ascension, but the execution was poorly managed.
>>47616286
What kit is that? It looks like the land raider with a current generation tank.
What would you say are the biggest advantages of playing through the computer over playing in person?
>>47616256
The mute button, whether it's for your mic or theirs.
>>47616256
Smell doesn't travel through cyberspace.
>>47616256
Immersion.
It's easier to imagine other characters when you're on skype than in person.
Would dwarves have different ideas about intoxication than other races, because drinking is so prominent in their culture?
Dwarves cannot become intoxicated.
>>47616161
Then why would they drink?
>>47616036
Maybe it's my experience as a fraternity brother speaking, but I highly doubt they'd worry about intoxication level in terms of ability to consent. Being shitfaced would be so second nature to them that there probably isn't any sober sex happening in all the dwarven kingdoms.

I can see why it could be hard on for Khan (though I can't see potential combos with the MWL cards yet), but why would MWL effect Builder of Nations?
There's definitely a deck involving pic related.
Took an experimental version of one to a Regional today and it didn't do so well.
Going for some bullshit with Fisk and Sifting or Populist Rally after Investment Seminars. I've got Exclusive Party + Comet jank in there which can leave. The issue is early aggression and setting up before getting the soft lock.
I played it against a deck that plays Netrunner and I decided the Corp after they got to 6 points. Jinteki made me wait until I got central breaker suite to start pressure. Dunno how I feel about horizontal decks. Dunno how I feel about suite. Economy feels like it takes too long until I land a cheap Siphon. I also had to go tag me even...

My players are going up against this guy tomorrow: but I'm not sure how to handle the battle. Dragons are extremely intelligent creatures. What kind of things would a dragon do in battle that regular goblins and whatnot would not?
>>47615543
First. It can fly. Abuse breath weapon, do not engage in melee.
Second. It can plan. It won't engage in battle unless it thinks it can win. It should have a plan to win, and backup plans if the adventurers are too strong to beat.
>>47615543
Use the terrain to their advantage in complex ways.
Be able to realize when it is losing the battle, meaning it is much more likely to know when it needs to run.
Prioritize targets by their threat level rather than size or proximity.
Lay traps for the party, especially complex ones designed specifically to capture a specific party member or mitigate a certain party advantage.
Basically, think, "How would a real-life person fight this party?"
Just use your own strategic knowledge, goblins make stupid decisions about who to attack or where to move, dragons can plan 3 moves or more ahead. They can see the weak link from the look of their build and the armor they're wearing. You've played with the players before so you know their combat tendencies, a dragon would be able to accurately predict these too, he'd have an escape or back up plan if things went south
Alright. Forge World is very expensive in AUD.

What would I use to run a Sherlock Holmes inspired investigation-type of game? Or does the mystery genre not translate well to tabletop?
>>47614913
Any system with an "Investigation" skill handles it well.
When it comes to detective work in TTRPGs, it's almost entirely built around your ability to construct an interesting and challenging mystery and your players' ability to solve those mysteries without meta-gaming.
Mystery is totally possible in any RPG. You just need the right players.
The only part the system plays is helping you incorporate pertinent thematic elements into the game. For example, you probably...

Hey /tg/, I want to start a BBEG thread - in particular, to get your opinion on a BBEG I'm brewing up for a homebrew fantasy campaign.
He was a simple blacksmith, corrupted by an external power (I'm thinking an artifact which made him supernaturally brilliant at smithing and artifice, but eventually drove him to madness).
He seeks the hottest flame, and to get it he's going to rend the dimension he's in to access an infernal plane otherwise accessible and occupied only by demons and firey creatures (think of a map of the world, and then drawing...

what setting? 3.5/páthfinder? 4th edition? 5th edition?
there are some construct/golem-like monsters in the Iron Kingdoms Monster Manual 1 and 2
there is also like 3 golems in each 3.5 monster manual from 1 to 5, also check the draconomicon for dragon golems
>>47614335
alternatively you can turn anything into a construct by adding a "golem" template and you will have whatever you want as minions for your bbeg
>>47616103
Entirely homebrew. Setting's homebrew, elements unashamedly stolen from other things or thought up of own accord. System's homebrew, also a Frankenstein's monster of bits and pieces I found neat about other things.
I'll look up those books for ideas. Thanks much.
So far, I've got...

- Soldier: Clockwork humanoid, zombie parallel.
- Wolf: Primarily glorified alarm systems, but also good for harassing party in packs.
- Berserker: Steam-powered...

Xerxes' journal, at least 16 years past its being written with the hopes of immediate discovery, has put hope back in the hearts of the Imperials, Rene's group especially. Putting it in Kris' hands for safekeeping, what with her having the Witch Pendant, Rene and the rest feel a far stronger motivation to survive this upcoming battle and drive off the rebels. If they can just do that, they can begin looking into the mystery of these heirs, and who on earth could've taken the most vital pages.
Samson and his fleet have had to quickly get used to being...

Probably should've expected this coming off of a hiatus, but it was this or oxidized charger wires possibly burning down the house.
A far less pleasant experience than hearing the talking heads song, real life housefires, I'm sure.
