For all your Dungeons the Dragoning needs! edition.
Someone commented in the last thread that this is a general that doesn't happen often enough, so I'm making it happen more often.
What are people doing in the way of games and/or characters right now?
>>43689105
PDF pls ?
>>43689217
Book 1 and 2 here
http://lawfulnice.blogspot.de/
Attached PDF is the latest version of the homebrew made by the following forum:
http://s4.zetaboards.com/LawfulNice/forum/3608390/
Imagine a Jesus who flies off the handle and goes Old Testament a lot more often. As a Red Flame Mantle Sage that uses the Raging Locomotive style.
>>43689105
My last game is long done and was rather short, so the ending wasn't really statisfying.
Our Party consisted of a mercenary crew with the following members:
>a Kenku Wraith Magitek Gunwoman that startet to dabble into the Heavy track to use that Dakkagun her late Orky Mentor left her with instead of her trusty Sniper Rifle. She was using her unexpected revival to a) get revenge for beeing murdered in the first place b) rebuild the merc-company her father was once leading. Wasn't big into Gods, but did the one or other Slaaneshi thing.
>Tiefling Demonhost Fight Guy that did what he wanted and doesn't afraid of anything. Wielding two Orichalchum Greatswords, one with his hands, one in his pants. Fucked about anything female aboard our ship except for said Kenku, the Eldarin and that underage rich girl we were transporting. Slaaneshi as fuck, but any khornate berserker would stare in awe and start fapping when he starts killing stuff. Once bit a hole into the Helmet of Power Armor with his bare teeth.
>Eldarin Atlantean Mage Lady that prefered to handle the talking because the remaining party was either incompetent, drunk, or both. Remained in the background and just kept casting support stuff.
>Tiefling Demonhost Assasin Lady that didn't do much as the player was absent after two sessions. Slaaneshi, sexed the guy above and that's about all the defining traits.
>Elf Paragon Berserker/Mech Pilot
Nice girl that wouldn't hurt anybody, but her parents were part of a Khornate Cult that pittet their children in deadly duels against each other to create the perfect warrior. She never even once got wounded and escaped as soon as she found a way out. Mentally scared for life and thus mute and antisocial as fightinh is all she can and knows, and she prefers to resolve things without violence. But once you tick her of she starts to RIP AND TEAR more than even the Fight Guy. Also has a Gundam to do this to enemy vehicles or spelljammers in neccessary.
>>43689732
I can't help but imagine him learning the art of combat from the Wrasslord Joseph, current heavyweight wheel champ.
out of curiosity, does anyone from these /tg/ threads post to the forum?
I've posted maybe 4 times for suggestions, but what about you guys?
>tfw nobody from here posts to the forum.
>>43690852
the forum and the board are loathesome enemies of one another
blood will be paid
>>43690852
I did a little bit when LN was working on the system, then thought it died, then saw book 3 and went back to the forum and now mostly just lurk in case anyone posts to my existing threads so I can field questions or catch feedback. I've had little drive to actually develop any existing things though, and the environment on the forum does not feel conducive to real progress.
>>43690852
I made the Goblin and the feats for it, but I sort of fell off afterwards due to family BS.
>>43689935
Sounds like a fun game, shame it didn't last
>>43691296
why would they be enemies?
surely a compromise is in order...the board and the forum may be of use to each other...
I'm interested in the system but I wanted to know, could I use it without having to use the setting? And how lethal is the system using regular monsters and rules?
>>43693073
The few enemies presented in the rulebook are rather deadly given sufficient numbers and lucky rolls. I had a bunch of 6 Orks with shootas almost dissasseble 4 freshly created exalts because they didn't understand the concepts of retreating or taking cover.
They all survived, but one was at 0 HP and another one lost his leg.
In a one on one fight though the boyz wouldn't stand a chance. Characters are rather fragile in the beginning but ramp up really fast, either in killing stuff befor it can act or just becoming walking tanks. As soon as someone reaches the end of a combat-oriented classtrack they are only threatened by equally strong or stronger entities, mooks mean almost nothing anymore.
Also sure, go nuts. The whole game is made to go ahead and include whatever you want. The damn setting is made to include whatever you want. Insert your world in a sphere that isn't in contact to the rest of the wheel and there you have your own setting working with everything else.
>>43693073
>could I use it without having to use the setting?
that's half the fun, but yeah. there was work on adapting the system for the towards stars setting (aka Outlaw Star)
>>43693292
>>43693321
Alright. Thanks everyone. I was looking into moving away from the sci-fi elements of the setting.
>>43693523
Sure is helpful that there are a load of primitive weapon stats then, isn't it?
What did you have in mind anyways, friendo?
>>43693780
I'm still working on the setting, but probably just a generic noblebright high adventure fantasy setting. Don't know much besides that. I'm still deciding what should be my major inspiration.
>>43693816
Oh, neat. Gonna keep the gods in it?
>>43694183
I'll probably reskin them. This is my first actual setting and not "Here's a vague depiction of a world. What do you wanna do?"
>>43693073
I've been running a 'more-or-less' straight 40k game for 2 years. In short, its 40k with DtD's exalts explaining away the superbadass characters in the setting. Works really well.
>>43695435
40k seemed to be one of the two big inspirations for the setting. Though, I have never played Magic the Gathering.
>>43693321
And at least one thing from that made it to Book 3.
And it wasn't my purpose-built genetically engineered dinofolk of the human empire.
>>43696513
Oh, there are way more than a mere handful of shoutouts in DtD
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/ShoutOut/DungeonsTheDragoning
How would you stat a Blood Bowl player as a DtD PC? Possibly a retired or banned one. Or just on the off season.
>>43690852
>tfw nobody from here posts to the forum.
Speak for yourself. I've been busy recently, but I'll start posting more homebrew for Book 3 later. I've wanted to do Ducks for a while, so I might just do that.
>>43697757
Raging Locomotive is a must. It's why I made the Sword School.
There's also the Juggernaut Class Track. Look it up on the forum.
>>43689457
So are there actual rules for making new npcs and enemies or were these numbers pulled out of the air? Cause I really want to write up some monsters.
>>43699118
There's monster making rules on the forum, along with a bunch of new monsters and enemies to face.
is there a sword school specifically utilizing the tactical motion of combatants??
things like tossing the dwarf(behind the enemy for a twin-fronted attack)
or a close change where the practitioner sprints into battle and uses their own momentum to hurl an individual from the combat back towards the players starting position?
or a greater bull rush for shoving an enemy or three into the effect radius of a spell
or just beating a motherfucker with another motherfucker...
>>43701056
Try Raging Locomotive.
One of the people helping Doc with the third book here, new edition is being worked on. No ETA though, so don't hold your breath.
>>43690852
I post there, you're not alone.
>>43697757
My latest character is a Blood Bowl player. Raging Locomotive, Punk, some grit are good starting places.
>>43701257
What's going to be in the new version? Anything cool pop out as "Oh shit, I need to try this out"?
>>43701334
The table of contents is getting updated, I'm excited for that.
>>43701289
I keep hearing about Raging Locomotive. Is it really just the new catch-all sword school or something?
>>43702815
It's one of the flashiest Sword Schools around, with lot's of movement and displacement. Amazing for some insane charging-stunts. Maybe that's the reason for being so popular.
Bump with a thing.
New exaltation, although it needs a better name. Otherwise, everything else is done.
>>43703229
Elaborate pls
>>43703442
Based upon Frankenstein's Monsters and other artificial chimeras.
A bunch of stuff which is basically "fuck you, I'm immune to certain stuff because no soul and artificially made". Also, some stuff based upon having weird bits in there, such as parts of Exalts and other races.
>>43703645
Can I do Necronica Dolls with it?
>>43703666
Yeah, you could probably manage that.
Should I just post the thing?
>>43703724
Post it on the forum, and on here if people are not going to read it on the forum.
>>43699177
the monster making rules are long-form and pretty crunchy without being streamlined. the guy responsible for them hasn't done much to improve them for a while even though he's said he should in response to feedback on the forums.I am that guy, sorry
>>43689105
Oh yes, I'm glad someone made another thread after the one I made the other day
I have a question, I do not really understand how buying shit like weapons works, can anyone explain it to me simplified?
>>43703645
Alternative prometean: Chimera (biological promethean instead of mechanical one)
>>43703645
Theres an alt promethean that does something like that on the forum. You might want to compare notes.
>>43704683
If I remember right, you roll your Wealth vs the item's Availibility.
>>43704722
so, wealth two I roll two dices to buy the item's difficulty I suppose
>>43704694
That, or some form of Mary Shelley reference.Frankenstein, if you don't get it.
>>43704772
I know, not good with names, but definitely an alternative promethean
>>43704694
Yeah, the current thing has a modal power that lays down how it interacts with certain spells and otherwise basically goes "are you a Frankenstein's Monster (technological origin) or a DnD Flesh golem (magical origin)" and then gives you a bunch of bonuses and penalties based upon which one you pick.
>>43704772
...I literally said it was a Frankenstein's Monster based Exaltation.
>>43704978
sounds cool. have you given any thoughs to the feats?
>>43704999
Yes.
I may have made one of the assets a little too strong, as it allows you to get to resilience 9 and AP either 2 or 4 all over at level 1. Okay, you have to take a very specific set of things, but I'm still thinking I might tone it down.
>>43705049
Actually, just to make it absolutely clear:
I have a Tell, 4 basic powers, all the Integration (the power stat) powers, and all the assets. All that's missing is a bit of fluff and a decent name for the Exaltation.
>>43705049
>>43705109
For fluff I can think of "prometheans, but made by biologist engineers" and a cool name...
It just struck me how hilarious is that the title of the novel of Frankesntain is also "The moderm Promethean". Bioconstruct maybe?
>>43705109
Did you see this yet?
http://s4.zetaboards.com/LawfulNice/topic/10368547/1/
>>43705177
Yes. I deliberately didn't refluff Prometheans, though, I borrowed a bit from Paul Magyrs book Never the Bride (the main character being the Bride of Frankenstein, and a major plot point being that she has no soul).
>>43705226...bother.Do spoilers not work any more or something?
>>43705109
Amalgrams?
Rebuilt?
I'd say Carpenters, but most wouldn't connect that to John Carpenter's The Thing.
Enkidu? (Babylonian myth, not Greek, but...)
Ausar? (Alt name for Osiris, who was famous in Egyptian Mythology for getting torn up and put back together again.)
>>43705747
I decided to just go with Flesh Golem at least for the time being.
>>43697757
Paragon seems like a good Exaltiation for this.
>>43697757
Goliath Paragon Juggernaut with lots of Raging Locomotive. When the chips are down, you can expect him to run into danger instead of away from i
Here's a challenge: Stat your waifu out in Dungeons the Dragoning.
>>43705769
>>43705747
They can call themselves anything they want, to everyone else they'll be Stitchers.
>>43705769
You may want to make it clear that Flesh Golems can take more than one exalt asset at character creation. It's implied by "Mad Meat", but not formally established.
>>43710369
Human Atlantean Hacker/Magic-User
Well? Am I even close?
>>43705769
Homunculus. Its such an obvious fucking name too.
>>43711231
Isn't she a Promethean?
>>43716402
Put some minute bit of effort into it, for fuck's sake.
Like, for your Holdings dots, would you rather have a Spelljammer or a Munchausen grappler?
>>43717109
Good question. Between the two, I think I'd prefer a Spelljammer. However, I'd rather buy a personal vehicle (like an armored land vehicle) with my Holdings and let someone else purchase the team ship.
>>43717109
Munchausen grappler, no contest.
Alright
How do I make a touhou in this thing
Necessary traits include
Ability to befriend anyone, including villains
Copious danmaku
Flying
One randomass freeform-tier ability that serves only to make people argue over what you can actually do with that power. May or may not actually relate to any of the character's danmaku
Go
>>43717746
>Ability to befriend anyone, including villains
One of the many Exalts themed around superheroes/magical girls.
>Copious danmaku
Danmaku Duelist class.
>Flying
Fairies can fly. You can also get a jetpack with Artifact dots.
>One randomass freeform-tier ability that serves only to make people argue over what you can actually do with that power. May or may not actually relate to any of the character's danmaku
I can't help you there.
Does that help?
>>43717746
Daemonhost and Tiefling to be a yokai, provides flying too.
Courtier class, Danmaku Duelist class from the forums for bullet hell, and a daemonjost asset for the random ability.

>>43717888
There's also some Touhou inspired Gun-Kata on the forum you might want to check out. Immortal Smoke and Lunatic Princess, if I recall the names correctly.
>>43711231
She's not really a robot though, more in personality. I'll try to figure out a better exalt for her, that was thought up in just a few moments...
>>43718016
And a sword school. Killer Doll.
I know, I was one of the people who invented it.
>>43718081
Oh, right. My bad. Killer Doll is one of my favorites.
>>43710369
(Reskinned) Ork Werewolf Rassler.
>>43718280
Isn't there an Outlaw Star spin off of DtD with Ctarl-Ctarl and their own, race specific Exalt?
>>43719952
Yes. It's on 1d4chan. That's where the Munchausen Drive comes from.
>>43720050
Are the Munchausens a reference to Baron Munchausen?
So I'm going to be working on making more vehicle weapons soon, is there anything you good nerds would like to see specifically in that regard?
>>43721575
I'm not 100% aware of what is around there, i guess the 40k section is mostly covered, maybe a Riptide or Ghostkeel Suit as walker as i have to admit to be one of those Taufags, though one that doesn't like GW's current idea of codex design at all, but that doesn't belong here.
Is there any chance of anyone taking on the weapon creation rules?
>>43721895
I'd rather stab myself with a spork.
Anyone knows if there is a samurai class around?
>>43720630
The munchausen drive is what let ships enter sub-aether mode, i.e. the setting's FTL excuse in Outlaw Star. you'll have to consult some kind of ols wiki or something to find the origin of that

I said vehicle WEAPONS, damnit.
>>43725775
oh...don't know whats in the book so far but here's my spitball...
grappler melee weapons. like axes and swords and shit...
anti-material LASERS
an assortment of interesting kinds of Missiles
1.)electronic warfare missiles that actively hack every tech entity in range and flood it with decimal placement errors
2.)flechette submunitions
3.)a missile that shoots missiles that shoot tiny missiles for a staggered maximum shotgun effect.
4.)
glue/foam bombs to entrap or hinder vehicles
vehicle scale net/chain-shot
"silver bullets" (Armour piercing discarding sabot) that pierce physical armor
Spell Breaker cannons that specifically breach arcane defenses
"big dick" boarding tubes for when you want to rape the enemy ship BEFORE the crew.
grapple cannons
mines
tow along missile pods(yes I admit enjoying Honor Harrington books)
>>43726016
I read a book once called "watch on the Rhine" it featured big german tanks (fighting aliens) firing these munitions. described as spheres that would be fired at a low angle and at a programmed range break apart into a few thousand 1.5cm ball bearings traveling at speeds that would carry them individually through several bodies effectively giving a tank the ability to operate a shotgun at range.
same author different series featured what were essentially railguns with some nasty anti-personnel rounds; a cluster of heavy beads in a launching canister, each one connected to adjacent ones in a large diameter "net" of monomolecular wire that would be traveling at deployment at 2 to 3 kilometers per second...
the ever-popular PLASMA CANNON
I want to have a nanolathing cannon, but that might be a system-warping weapons system. (go play total annihilation it's the thing commanders build with...)
camera rounds that are fired over or through an area at relatively low speeds that send pictures or recon data back to a receiver in the vehicle
range detonating white phosphorous rounds
"screamer" rockets that generate enough all-spectrum noise that just about every weapons guidance system chases them.
FAE bombs; fuel-air explosives have 2 detonations, first a low flame or no flame to disperse the fuel(coffee creamer for example) and a second high-flame detonation to set off the fuel...the second detonation is usually of such a frightening magnitude that people can be reluctant to deploy these weapons.
>>43726457
>described as spheres that would be fired at a low angle and at a programmed range break apart into a few thousand 1.5cm ball bearings traveling at speeds that would carry them individually through several bodies effectively giving a tank the ability to operate a shotgun at range.
...that's called "grapeshot".
>>43726596
grapeshot is the oldschool version it broke up right at firing, limiting the peak effective range of the munitions.
>>43726617
Future grapeshot. The basic idea is the same, just with something like a laser designator or a timed fuse telling the shot when to break up. Sounds like a natural evolution.
Tell me, would you play a war game set in this setting or one very much like it?
>>43726858
they had a special name for it in the book though...didn't want to call it grapeshot because that used often enough to be boring...
>>43726877
needs more factions and distinctive vehicles/weapons per faction to be a proper wargame.
but that's like, my opinion, man...
>>43726457
>>43726016
There's some workable ideas in here, thanks for that. But more than half don't work with the rules, and there's a lot suggested here that already exists.
Read the fucking books, man.
>>43726917
Nowadays we'd call that concept "airburst flachette shells" or something like that.
>>43726968
I'd read them if I had more than a 0.003% chance of ever playing the game...I lost the game...I just come here to these threads and the forum to look at the things like a sad homeless child looking at the latest things in the shop window of a cold Christmas evening.
>>43726977
but a flechette is something else entirely.
from the French "little dart"
>>43726877
I don't play war games, but I'm sure somebody would appreciate a game where any and all models are accepted.
What would be the sources/inspiration for the rules?
>>43727277
The idea is that base shape would matter, dictate the manner of formations available, but also utilize the warjack/beast rules and the breaking rules from kings of war
>>43727452
Oh, I remember this thread. Have you made progress on this, or is it just ideas so far?
>>43725260
It started as just what they were called, then became an impolite term when some ponce made a seven-syllable ponderous term and popularized it, and about a century after that became "their word" and currently occupies a significant portion of their subculture's vernacular and song lyrics while remaining taboo for anyone else to use.
They put on this linguistic flea circus because of a vulnerability involving True Names, as Stitcher is the first word of the True Name of each and every one of them.
>>43727654
Compiling lore, I decided to make it it's own similar setting just to be safe, the main Hyman faction is the "Imperial Spheres Alliance" I borrow mostly from war game and vudya fluff, as for the system I need to research more war games
>>43727718
...they don't have souls. How can they have true names?
>>43728298

Call me a newfag all you want, but what is this Dungeons the Dragoning about?
I've played D&D, I'm new to DH2e and like what I see so far...
Is DtD some sort of amalgamation of D&D and the 40k universe? Is it an RPG or a wargame?
>>43734785
>Call me a newfag all you want,
Newfag.
Okay, with that out of the way...
>but what is this Dungeons the Dragoning about?
It's an unholy mashup of D&D, Warhammer 40k, World of Darkness, Exalted, 7th Sea, and just about every other game ever. It's also the best game ever, taking the best from all of those games to make something cooler than the sum of its parts.
Download the first book and start reading. Since nobody else has posted it, here is the link to my Google Drive folder for the game.
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B8z4Cy1zaGU1bnJMaDE4WDZZUlk&usp=sharing
After that, go to the forum and check out progress on the third book and all of the cuhrayzee homebrew for it.
>>43734978
Hmm... I am curious about this... How does it actually play though? As an RPG I'd guess given the two RPGs I have actually played, and one I've heard of. But does it have wargame tendencies as well? And what's the default setting like?
>>43735275
It's d10 based, roll & keep. The system contains some elements you should be familiar with (D&D's races and classes, 40k RPG class tracks and weapons), along with many things you might not be.
Setting is a bit hard to explain, but borrows from 40k & Mass Effect, among many other things.
Seriously, read the book.
>>43735346
So setting is sort of a cyberpunk/sci-fi lean? I can dig it I suppose, not really my usual but hell, I like Shadowrun's setting well enough. I haven't actually played any legit 40k, just Dark Heresy 2e and I'm new to that, so the class tracks are completely unfamiliar to me. Though some weapons might ring a bell.
As for reading the book, I certainly intend to, likely tonight. I'm just in the middle of a few things and would rather not be /completely/ distracted. Because if it hooks me enough, there's a damn good chance I'll drop everything and forget what the hell I was doing lol. That shit happened to me bigtime when I first got into nWoD.
>>43735346
>>43735387
Basically, while I'll play and enjoy other settings, my absolute and forever favorite is probably the Forgotten Realms and similar "standard" sword and sorcery/medieval high fantasy settings. I was raised in the Realms, and even though I utterly despise most D&D/PF players, I keep wanting to play them.
>>43735387
>So setting is sort of a cyberpunk/sci-fi lean?
Kinda. It isn't really that much like Shadowrun, but it has a little bit of Shadowrun's trappings. The Great Wheel is absolutely massive, so while most of the places you go to will be industrialized, others could be medieval tech but high in sorcery.
>>43735404
>my absolute and forever favorite is probably the Forgotten Realms and similar "standard" sword and sorcery/medieval high fantasy settings.
It also takes bits and bobs from Forgotten Realms, so you'll definitely enjoy that.

>>43717746
Fairy race, a hat, and Danmaku Duelist. The rest lets you decide what kind of 2hu.
>>43735387
As >>43735470 said, but there's no reason you can't have a crystal sphere that is basically Shadowrun but with everything you like kept in and everything you don't like taken out.
>>43735387
>cyberpunk/sci-fi lean?
Not exactly. It has that stuff, but it also has worlds that are all magic and tech. It's a planescape situation, where your ships travel through void to crystal spheres, not through space to plants, and the spheres can contain solar systems, but they can also contain other shit, like a giant mountain or caves or Discworld or even more spheres. If you play with everything (space ships and traveling across many worlds) then there's a certain Rogue Trader aspect to that, but you can stay on one world, or travel from one world to another by navigating the umbral trods (that is, taking a short cut through the shadow realm) and never touch a spelljammer.
If what you actually want is Shadowrun though, you should consider Sigil. It has the factions from Planescape's sigil, the guilds of Ravnica, and the megacorps of Shadowrun all in the same enormous toroidal megacity. As it's visible from the warp, it functions as the center of the universe and every important faction has a presence.

Not >>43735823, but to build on his point: in terms of tech level, everyone and everything from the lowest of fantasy to the highest of cyberpunk and 40k/Halo/Mass Effect tech is interacting with each other. You can play characters that walk around in chainmaille who carry bolters or shotguns or laser rifles because they found it at some shop that also sold magic swords and bows that loose arrows that track their targets a few miles away because MAGIC.
A Shadowrunner in Sigil would find themselves in the craziest situations every day, because it is the greatest amalgamation of pretty much any tech level--realistic or not--that you can think of. All you need to do is look.

For the record, I've never played an actual Shadowrun game, nor read up on much of the lore. As I said, I'm a child of the Realms. I did play that horrible Shadowrun xbox game a bit though, and looked into the setting a little (kind of a tourist's glance at it) and liked what I saw. If I hadn't dived into w40k because my live group started playing DH2e I'd have probably gone to Shadowrun for my first tabletop sci-fi setting. Well, legit setting, I've played BESMd20 as sci-fi a bit, wasn't exactly a good experience though due to certain circumstances.
Current actual gaming experience is a ton of D&D3.x, a heaping serving of PF, a side of Werewolf the Forsaken/general nWoD, a side of BESMd20, an appatizer of DH2e, and a garnish of some small homebrew games. For desert, lots of Munchkin and some Arkham Horror, and the drink is an old wine reminiscent of various TCGs that I haven't touched in years and don't really intend to return to.
And in case anyone's wondering, yeah, I'm eating right now. Sorry if I made anyone hungry lol

You might be interested in the new Shadowrun games (Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong) which are actually good, roleplaying and tactics. It's a great way to enjoy the setting.
There's a new Sword School on the forums, based on wrestling and grappling.

I don't want any of that fan created bullshit.
>>43737079
The second book has fan content from the forums.
So, I have a rules question that I'm not entirely certain about.
Is there any way that a werewolf exalt can use the frenzy feat while in warform, or vice versa? In the description under both passages, it says that the only actions you can take while in warform/frenzy are making attacks or moving towards an enemy, and that activating either is a full round action.
Min-maxing aside, it would seem weird that you couldn't reach another state of rage when you're already super pissed off. I've always enjoyed the idea/image of a character entering a purely-out-of-fucking-control rage and wrecking absolutely everything around them.
>>43737229
nope, you can't stack rage with warform, the entire point of warform is an enhanced free frenzy. The advantage of frenzy is not having to reveal your tell
>>43737079
Pretty much every book except the first is "fan created bullshit."
>>43689105
I wanted to ask about classes. How exactly do they work? You meet the prerequisites, and then are those the things you can buy using XP? Please help!
>>43738755
You enter a class you meet the prerequisites for. Then, you buy fears from your feat list using XP. When you buy all of the mandatory featsfor your class, the class is completed and you move on to another class.
>>43738813
Thanks, really cleared that up for me!
>>43738813
once you have all mandatory feats you can also opt not to join a new class yet and be in "free study" which lets you get optional feats and pump things like sword schools unrelated to your class.
>>43689105
Favorite exalt? Mine would be Paragon.
>>43739814
I love the fluff on Vampires, especially the dark stations. Would love to have more lore pieces expanding more on them and there dark kingdoms.
so we've had a lot of people say how badass this game gets...
to the players out there, whats the funniest thing you've seen or played?
>>43739814
I like Atlanteans the most mechanically because fuck I love magic. The GM hooks are enjoyable too.
In terms of fluff, I like the daemonhosts the most because there is absolutely nothing similar from one to the other.
The Book 3 not!Evangelion angel exalt i the most intruiging one in terms of mech/fluff that I haven't played.
>>43740858
An ork and a cross-dressing gnome had to slow dance to win a social combat. It was exactly as awkwardly hilarious as it sounds
Who here likes Prometheans?
I love the idea of turning into a war strider at Generation 5! Just wish there was a Promethean feat to add more slots to integration…
>>43737079
Literally everything is fan-created.
>>43741635
Prometheans are fun, though I've never played them myself. Its always amusing to hear the guy who used to be in our group and played them go "I'LL TAKE THE HIT FOR YOU!" because he ran a cheesy wraithbone promethean healtank build. Shitty as fuck but it was always funny because he'd YELL IT AT THE TOP OF HIS LUNGS that he was going to take the hit for us.
>>43741635
I just wish they could be repaired faster.

The feud began many moons ago young one. When the men from the forum kidnapped the board chief's most prized daughter.
Since that day only blood has passed between us.
>>43742939
I don't regret stealing her. 10/10 waifu.
>>43742939
Well, seems like the appropriate time to introduce a larger threat that endangers both factions and forces them to make an uneasy alliance full of flawed teamwork so that we can forgive past mistakes in our darkest hour and rise from the ashes greater than we ever were before.

But everything's already on fire. How can we make it more dramatic?Before you ask, the ninja all carry fire extinguishers... that are, naturally, on fire.
>>43747143
The fire extinguishers are filled with FOOF.
>>43747143
It's simple, we set the flames ablaze so the fire is on fire!
>>43748007
thats what the FOOF is for
>>43689457
Why the fury has so many weapon related feats but not any weaponry skill?
>>43749892
You know, that's a pretty good question. You might want to bring it up on the forum.
What's the most insane combination of Race, Exalt, and Class you can think of?
I'll start us off.

In the end, I think the real insanity comes from things like stunts, but I'll give this a go.

Shouldn't it be "Desirest thou"?
>>43758607
its an old sub of an older game
Ok, I have a question. If I made a human wraith who managed to find an adamantine blade, would wielding the blade cause a critical existence failure due to it causing supernatural stuff to go out of whack?
>>43759192
It shouldn't in strict adherence to the rules but I suppose that's something you should bring up with your GM first.
Out of curiosity, has anyone tried to break this game before? Like what is the most broken character you can make in this game about overpowered characters?
Noy wanting to try it personally, but I like hearing about the extreme lengths people go to break a system.
>>43760857
A Vampire Unicorn with Raging Locomotive can go pretty damn fast. Hard Landing recently got a nerf so that you couldn't build a speed demon that instakilled everyone by pushing them.
>>43753010
That sounds like a normal character....

Agreed
I kind of want for there to be wandering bands of exalts on motorcycles fighting for JUSTICE. they fall down in a drop pod on a planet and do the JUSTICE thing for a few months before returning to the ship to go someplace else and bike around doing the JUSTICE thing...
or a merc company that does it FOR THE HOOKERS AND BLOW...
You must now incorporate the last book you read, the last game you played, or the last show you watched into your next DtD campaign.
