Sup /tg/.
I'm at work, bored, and a lazy sack of shit. So here's a screencap thread.

>>34115050
>>34115148
>>34115050
Shit.
Well, the thread was nice while it lasted. Better get out now before the Butthurt Brigade arrives. This thing summons them like rhythm attracts fuckin' shai-hulud.
>>34115187
>>34115204
>>34115232
Eh fuck it. I'm just gonna keep dumping until I run out of pics.
Do people actually get pissy about that one?
>>34115265
>>34115265
You missed last two screencap & /tg/ stories threads if you ask.
>>34115265
I haven't read it past the first few lines cause I'm a lazy fuck as well but I've seen some people in threads go apeshit about it.
>>34115265
I think it might be because it got hyped too much too fast, but for some reason, yes, some people really do seem to hate this.
It provokes some irrational reaction of "oh it's not real" or "no john you are the that guys".
I kinda like it myself.
>>34115287
>>34115307
Honestly I've been ignoring the "discussion" (shit-flinging) in the thread threads for the last few of them, and just grabbed images I liked.
Why are people so butthurt about it, though? It's no dumber than most of the other things posted.
>>34115368
>>34115372
Same, honestly. I figure it's probably not true, but I really hope it is.

>>34115628
What's worse is I'm pretty sure I know the exact book that comes from. Arcane Nymphology. Also had a table for randomly generating the names of porn magazines.

Eh, I don't think it's that bad. The books have their uses, even in non-magical-realm games.
Like when we needed a basis for whether or not our paladin had just accidentally become father of what was functionally the antichrist.

>>34122370
Love the sequel as well.
It's in the archive, named " the most dangerous LARP "
This was a good thread
>>34114978
Here's one I have, but I've never seen it in one of these threads before...
>>34115843
No, pretty sure it was the Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge. Arcane Nymphology was a little more juvenile and stupid--had Big Gay Allosaurus as one of its new monsters.
the BoUCK was sorta-kinda more professional...except for the bit about porn mags.
>>34120565
Reading this story when it was brand new was my first real exposure to LARP. I'd heard of it sure, but I thought they were the lowest tier of nerds and had nothing to do with them. After reading it I showed it to a friend, and he showed it to his friends. Me and yet another friend even LARPed for the first time, in a cowboy-themed one (only one available) at a convention we were at. The first friend I showed it to has said that when I get married, for my bachelor party he's taking us LARPing
>>34126083
I found the PDF of Book of Unlawful Carnal Knowledge through http://www.freegamemanuals.com/pdfrpg/
>>34126083
http://www.freegamemanuals.com/pdfrpg/TSRDungeons&Dragons3.5BookOfUnlawfulCarnalKnowledge.pdf
Page 56 of the pdf.
Enjoy.
>>34128582
That one was terrible. It was so over-the-top and fake as to be ridiculous. The second LARP thread is to the first one as Curse of the Black Pearl is to At World's End
>>34129452
Don't you mean the other way around? Because the second seemed way more over-the-top than the first.
[Spoiler/]Still, both were fun though.[/Spoiler]
Pic related is a doozy. So worth the read. Might actually get DEUS VULT tattooed on my chest, still thinking about it.
>>34129497
yeah, I meant other way around, sorry. It's 3 am here.
>>34115014
What exactly is the elf/human mage dilemma?
>>34129545
Elven wizards have to spend centuries before learning cantrips
Human wizards do it in about a year and a half.
>>34129545
Elves take years to practice their magics, writing, thinking, pondering, drawing their finger across the top of the lake...
Humans set off a depth charge in the lake and let the water collect in buckets.
Elves initiate minute transactions between magic and themselves, immersing their being with the magical reserve...
Humans crash a jeep into the bank, hold up the boundary at gunpoint, tell it to put the knowledge in the bag, then blow a hole in the side of the safe and load up money from there while the boundary is busy.
>>34129923
This is the best comparison ever.
>>34129923
Oh god someone please cap this

Im starting to wonder if i hallucinated this
Anyone have the elf vs human hfy caps? We need more fantasy hfy
>>34134441
We need less HFY, because HFY is an excessively artificial and poorly constructed concept that not even the people who propagate it can reach a consensus about what it means, and people just use it as a three letter banner to post and repost some of the worst writing ever to stain /tg/.
It's shitty wank where anything and everything is justified by "HUMANS ARE SO AWESOME," when that's only a point of pride for people who've got nothing else.
So, in short, fuck you, Shithead, and fuck your shitty threads that only fuckheads like your shitty self think need to be made every three days, and fuck your shitty reposts of reposts of reposts of the same fucked and shitty fuckshit stories that were never even good to begin with.
>>34134795
I do agree that when the point of the story is "The humans are walking demigods..." they tend to suck, mary-sue-ism isn't gonna get you friends here on /tg/. However, some hfy simply plays off the versatility in humanity, ala D&D, and those dodge a great deal of the mary sue pitfalls. All in all, you've gotta use Sturgeons law here, that means that if there are 100 hfy stories, 10 of them have the potential to not be utter shit (although it could be closer to 1 in 10,000).
>>34134795
>So, in short, fuck you, Shithead, and fuck your shitty threads that only fuckheads like your shitty self think need to be made every three days, and fuck your shitty reposts of reposts of reposts of the same fucked and shitty fuckshit stories that were never even good to begin with.
Take it easy.
>>34134441
Also, What's HFY?
>>34135561
"Humanity Fuck Yeah"
I believe the original intent was to avert the standard fantasy version where every alternate race is superior to humanity in some way, but typically instead turned into masturbatory fanfic about how humans were so ossum and better than every other race.
Does anyone have the cap explaining coinpurses?
Ends with a post like, "Dammit grandpa, this is why you get in trouble." or something.
>>34135648
>>34135676
Thanks, friend.
This is my favorite one.
>>34135629
Yeah, first couple threads were: Humanity is different/better/fills this scifi niche normally given to aliens in this way because reasons. Aliens still have the leg up in other areas, usually the ones where humans are normally the best.
A favorite was that no one else in the galaxy breathes oxygen, forcing humans to live in pressure suits when around other species. As a side effect we got really good at engineering and making space suits.

At the end of my previous semester at university, my exam ended up being an analysis of a story called "Vandmollen" ("The Watermill") from around 1900 by a famous Danish author, which follows an old grumpy miller and his slightly plump red-headed daughter.
The archetype seems quite old.
>>34134795
some HFY is good, some not so good.
I'm not really sure how to explain this to a child, but after you reach a certain point in your development you stop having this insecure need for everything you read to be as sophisticated as (you think) you are and just learn to enjoy things on whatever level they're presented to you on.

Here's the over-the-top unofficial sequel.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/11513921/
And here's the direct sequel.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/13752895/
Personally, the direct is better, but the unofficial one's got its own charm in an off-the-wall kind of way.

Can I generate a magazine called The Lusty Dragonborn Maid?
>>34140035
Nope. He goes onto a parody of Madoka, then writes a bunch of travelogues about china and australia before going home to make brief cameos in Unseen Academicals
Personally, The last continent was the high point in Rincewind's career, but then again, i loved monstrous regiment, so i'm a faggot.
While meant to be humorous, I find this is actually a very valuable tip
>>34136362
This reminds of the thread from a few weeks ago where OP asked /tg/ if a pregnant enraged barbarian considered her fetus as a secondary target.
Within 3 posts /tg/ had not only called OP a fag; but had stated that male barbarians would see their sperm as targets and every male enraged barbarian would start punching themselves in the junk uncontrollably.
In 5 posts they had created a d&d bestiary entry for sperm. complete with hp damage types and CR
In 8 posts they were discussing how to animate cum golems.
I love this board.
>>34140323
>Parody of Madoka
I'm racking my brains trying to remember that one, but I don't seem to recall that book.
>>34138966

Eric. Rincewind becomes a wish granting demon (sort of) when he gets summoned out of the Dungeon Dimensions by a young daemonologist.
>>34146350
I thought that was more of a parody of Faust more than anything else. After all, the cover is Faust crossed out and rewritten as Eric. Then again, Madoka was heavily inspired by Faust, and I suppose that Eric was parodying Madoka's source material as opposed to the anime itself.

Whenever anyone posts this screencap, I get all existential. I mean, I remember that thread. Hell, I was in that thread.
And I always think to myself, "Maybe I shouldn't be spending so much time on /tg/."
But then I just end up coming back here because I'm a piece of shit.
>>34148406
You are shit, but guess what shit is?
Fertilizer.
Spread your shit far and wide, so flowers may grow.
Shitty, smelly, but beautiful flowers.
Was the DM right to do this?
>>34151916
I say the GM's wrong, because the players were interested in other things than the GM's plotline. It comes across to me as the GM being petty and saying "skeletons fall, everyone dies" for the crew not following the railroad.
>>34151916
DM was right, insomuch as the players decided to go fuck around while completely aware of impending doom.
>>34151963
This. This is why getting player buy-in is so important, and if the players aren't engaged with the story you wanted you have to find some other interesting thing (for both you and them) to throw at them.
>>34151916
I think so.
The Lich and his Skeletons shouldn't just disappear because the players are more interested in creating a democratic pro-gay-rights nation.
I'm not in the habit of retconning stuff i've said because people are uninterested in it. Of course, I would have given them some more hints about the impending doom of the Lich.
>>34152148
So there are literally no other adventurers capable of stopping him?
Have a giant festival and parade thrown to celebrate the guys what actually got shit done and who now can live on found treasure for the rest of their natural lives, and who coincidentally now have enough social sway to change gay marriage laws with a snap of their fingers.
THAT's the proper way to do it.
>>34147162
Isn't this basically what Grey Guards are for?
>>34152148
Exactly. It's not petty revenge for refusing the follow the plot the DM made. They were warned the lich would end life as they knew it and they ignored the warning so they could do their own thing. This wasn't "rocks fall, everyone dies" because that implies something completely out of the blue. This was entirely predictable.
Granted, I'm not saying the DM doesn't share some of the blame. The campaign sounds boring and cliche, and I don't blame the players for rebelling. If you, as a GM, want to avoid this kind of situation, give the players a campaign they'll actually want to play.
>>34152214
And then make them ultraconservative?

I think level is more about telling you about the power of a level 20 fighter compared to a level 15 fighter, not cross-class.
If fighters are weaker but you still want to run it balanced, give the fighter faster leveling

>>34153997
No fuck you. Level 20 Wizard is like Batman with a Green Lantern ring. Level 20 Fighter is (supposed to) be Superman.
Level 20 wizard gets shit done through his adaptability, creativity, utility, knowledge, training, and willpower.
Level 20 fighter SHOULD be tunnelling through rock with his bare hands, no tools necessary, leaping over mountains, blowing away armies by breathing on them, and throwing gods into the sun.
Because he should be equally as powerful as the fucking wizard, just in completely different ways.

I'm going to be running this in about two weeks. I have the gas masks and the customized plot mostly done. So excited.
QUESTION FOR ALL IN THIS THREAD:
Which screencap format do you like best? If you could pick one screencap from this thread and say that it is arranged the best, clearest, funniest way possible (if it's meant to be funny), which would you pick?
I ask because I'm working on screencapping the old /tg/ rap battle thread, and I want to know how to arrange it.
Does anyone else remember the Walmart Apocalypse setting? That was fun.
>>34160654
Double column, like this one:
>>34159932
>>34160654
Just straight blocks of text down the page if at all possible. Having things that are not neatly arranged is terrible unless it's reactions to a single main post.
If you need to do columns to fit it all in, try and fit is so that at a readable zoom there is one column per screen-width.
>>34142657
What where the stats?
>>34160691
>>34160692
Thoughts on screencaps like pic related or >>34136488?
>>34160869
That one is pretty good because there's only a main story that everyone else references. 8/10 for style.
>>34136488 is a mess. There's the main post about wheel skeletons, than some anon posting his own side-story connected by little lines, intermixed with reactions to the original post and some to various other posts in the thread. 4/10.

This is lazy storytelling at is worst.
The elemental plane of 'whatever I need in infinite amount'. I saw references in other /tg/ to the elemental plane of Salt, the elemental plane of Jelly, the elemental plane of beer and the elemental plane of Jizz.
Just...don't.

Yes, because
>He tried to explain homosexuality being tolerable
>They still decided gays were the most important thing
and
>Liches don't normally stop attacking just because MUH GAYS got legalized
Unless the lich is only attacking in an attempt to finally get gay marriage legalized in the kingdom where he used to live with his (secret) boyfriend, and decided to attack and install his own government accepting of gays.
