Is there a way to justify a wizard wearing full plate armor?
Such as spells without components to get messed up by armor, or metamagics to help my muscle wizard get by?
What are some of your favorite tracks to use during a session? Ambiance, combat, doesn't matter to me.This is GOAT theme for any visit to a city

Why does /tg/ like the OSR but not Dungeon World? Dungeon World is like the OSR with better mechanics.

Have you tried not playing games that suck?
There is more to roleplaying than pseudo-medieval mindless murdering.
Combat should always be a last resort and it should be extremely inconvenient and/or deadly.

You were doing so well up to this point.

what about its mechanics are better than what osr?gotobedcraig
What serious taboos have your characters broken over the years?

I'm glad season 2 ended how it did. It showed Bojack he needs to grow up, and he finally is.
Murder
Theft
Heresy, probably

Had a necromancer character who stole God's brain once.
In his defense he didn't know it was God at the time.
Spears are often said to be the most popular weapon in the medieval period so why are they so weaksuace in fantasy? 1d6 rly 5e?
>>45366718
Your system is bad
>>45366718
So what am I saying? Spears require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for spears:
(One-Handed Exotic Weapon)
1d12 Damage
19-20 x4 Crit
+2 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork
(Two-Handed Exotic Weapon)
2d10 Damage
17-20 x4 Crit
+5 to hit and damage
Counts as Masterwork
>>45366718
Spears are basically the most popular and widely used weapon in human history, not just the medieval period.
This was just leaked but something seems off

You are Charlie Dennet. Magician, student and assuming you choose to follow through with this assignment, partner of one of your classmates.
Today was your first day of classes since you came to Elliot University. As luck would have it, the day was mostly spent on review, since the class had more than a few former Metropolis U students. Apparently, you have a test, next week on Janurary the 24th, which, honestly, you don't feel quite prepared for. The nightmares and fearing for your life has kind of gotten in the way of studying.
However, Barry Allen, that...

Why do i still play this shit?
Did you consider talking to your DM or the player about the issues you're having with them?
>>45365954
A fault confessed is half redressed.
The "why" is irrelevant.
Now get out there and find a good RPG to play.
A. on average you get worse stats by rolling than picking arrays
B. picking arrays is for pussies
i have never met a dm who doesn't allow players to pick between rolling and choosing arrays. that is weirdly controlling. you should dm yourself if you want to tell players what they can and can't do.
don't expect people to be happy with you.
Have you ever made a character that was literally yourself? How did it go?
No I haven't
It was kind of depressing, since not only was I trying to play as myself, but it was in a vaguely fantasy version of where I live in the real world. So sometimes it just got a bit too real.
I also had to live with my stats being shitty, which didn't really make it fun to roleplay myself. Every action I did was supposed to be what 'I' would do - I couldn't do things just for the mechanical advantage because that would be unrealistic or make me look like a dick when I hid instead of helping, and me being me meant that I couldn't just do things for...

Played in a horrible WhiteWolf game years ago where all the PCs were just the players. Concept was cool. It took us maybe 3 sessions to realize that the ST didn't know the system, and playing yourself in a game set in WoD doesn't really work when you are supposed to have woken up one day to a different reality and one of the players has dissociative identity disorder.

Most characters end up sliding down in their Morality due to the ease of doing bad. It's always quicker and cheaper to fuck someone over than it is to be considerate and moral, especially when other people are shooting at you. But what about Good characters? How many of you have slid down the Slippery Slope of Insanity and come back up on top? Who's played a character who deals with the trials and tribulations of the World of Darkness...

Chronicles of Fagness
Since I managed to post RIGHT AS THE THREAD ARCHIVED last time... Here's another attempt at my possibly-ill-advised Homebrew VtR Mystery!
I took people's advice and went back to the drawing board with it, narrowing its focus and adjusting its power level (and making it a bit more obviously "we stole half of this shit from Sin-Eaters").
Thoughts/Comments/Critiques? I'm still having trouble judging what can be considered "balanced" for Coils, given that we only have a few official ones to compare to (and two of those aren't...

Some notes:
-I'd like to add an Auspex-style mechanic to the first Coil that allows the Dragon to ask a question about a Ghost/Anchor/Etc once per session/chapter - good idea? How often should they be able to use it?
-Yes, the 4th Coil is just a Sin-eater's Boneyard Manifestation. The temporary Influence mechanic is supposed to somewhat replicate (some of) the different Keys; if someone has any suggestions of how better to handle that (or even just better terms for the Influences to give) I'd...

“Are you still in contact with Ayla?” Cardus asks. “I’ve been meaning to find her so that I can rejoin the Writ Keepers.”

I actually played a hand in clearing and securing it. It was supposedly dreamed up by the first artificer.

I want to see what happens before we go, I think I could learn something.
Eyegores watch across multiple systems as the Osjiic and Ahkam react to your decoy attacks.
Salvage and repair operations are well underway on the crippled Ahkam battlecruiser drifting ever closer to the upper atmosphere of the ice planet. It threatens to plummet to the frozen world below but ships of various size swarm the valuable ship attempting to prevent such a catastrophic occurrence. The communications in the system are a frenzy of rumor and guesswork. Your modest strike force evolving into a full enemy fleet in a matter of hours.

You wake up to a steady swaying. You look around and find yourself in a small room, sunlight creeping in from the window. There are three small beds, including the one you're in. Sasuke and Shikamaru are asleep in the others. You glance out the window to find the sun peeking out over the horizon, the ocean as far as you can see.
That's right. You're on a ship. The four of you ran at top speed with almost no breaks for nearly two days and nights to the coast, where you caught a ship to the Water Country. You were all so tired, you went straight to your rooms...

Previously, you got mired in bad haggling, Zigzag learned just enough of manners to know how to offend people and Hiss hijacked your inn.

You wake up with a start and a muffled gasp, brief images of a half-forgotten dream flashing before your eyes. You can’t remember it but you can recall flashes. Black basalt stone, the silhouette of an Ishmin soldier in the doorway lit from behind by a flash of lightning, warm sticky blood puddling on the floor. Hiss is there and her hands are red. She’s holding her lower belly and the red of her tunic is stained with a deeper shade.
You don’t remember what happened next.

Start reading Moldruns notes or a book. We've got a lot of reading to do.
Is there any point to getting into 40K? I like the setting and there's a GW store nearby, but you guys are always going on about how GW is Satan and they deserve no money, and how Warhammer has progressively been getting worse, and how it might end up being End Times'd soon, which kinda makes me feel like it would be a bad idea to get involved. On the other hand, you're also still here talking about it every day so surely it can't be that bad, right?
Just get a small ~750 point force to play friendly games with. Spend ~7 hours painting each model, then not only will you impress the shoes off everyone, you'll get your moneys worth of GW prices.
Never get into tournaments, it'll just make you want to spend $2000 every few months making sure you've got the latest version of Taudar.
