Falcon katanas are so lame
I often browse through the old art in the hopes of one day understanding who ever thought it was a good idea.

I'm gonna play the Stalker card. The battle dildo would look great with reverse-joint legs. The humanoid ones just make it look derpy.
Welcome to the /tg/ OC thread.

Tell us about your original characters, new and old. Let's hear some stories of valor and glory and build some legends in here.

It's like the Storythread, but centered on characters that we all know and help make. Your Original Character can be any character you've played, are playing, or want to play!

Joshua Troy, Shadow Name is Ajax. He's a socialite, and a witch. A fatespinner. He's searching for answers as to what has drawn his compatriots and he together; why the threads of fate have had this pattern. He's overly protective, and that ties in with his pride. He's charismatic, and the closest his group has to a party face. He gets egocentric at times, and manipulates his friends, too. He blames it on the symbols he sees since Awakening, but he was always a bit manipulative. He also does not know when to shut up, which has gotten in trouble more than...

Honorable seppuku edition. Have you ever failed so hard in a game that your lord had to order your death?

>Have you ever failed so hard in a game that your lord had to order your death?
I had a PC try for the spear
Not only did he fail, lost his right arm, and ended up releasing Kinjiru, but he was so tainted by the experience that his only out was seppuku.

Seems like that would be the usual result of such efforts.
The town guard spots your Paladin, and politely but firmly states "People in this city consider Detect Whatever to be an act of hostility, Sir Knight. Please refrain from doing so without permission from the watch or the person in question. We don't need a repeat of the last tavern brawl started by a slanderous inquisition."

And you should stop getting drunk while on duty.
Put down the fucking mug lady.
>>48088370
Very well, good sir.Detect Evil
>>48088370
Even Detect Magic?
I call bullshit.
Well, what about it now?
Is it the best game or not? Thoughts on chess variants? Anyone want to play?
>>48088061
Just because something is popular, doesn't automatically mean it is good.
Chess is the best game at a being chess.
Is she pondering the game before first move was even made? I mean, I might have had some measly 2000 ELO, but I would not sit down to the board without some opening in mind.
Boring wargame without randomness factor but easy to pick up and learn
Which system is the best when it comes to running superhero games (this could mean both generic systems and systems designed especially for the purpose, of course)?
>>48087917
GURPS' good for low-powered small time heroes. (Like, say, some of the X-Men with only one power)
Absolutely sucks for Superman tier.
>>48087917
PTA.
>>48087917
Mutants and Masterminds is a vaguely d20 inspired (EXTREMELT vaguely at this point, there's next to no resemblance between 3e and D&D beyond using that one kind of dice) generic system built around high flexibility when it comes to characters and powers.
Fair warning though; it requires players who understand that trying to make the most powerful superhero character ever is not the same thing as actually making an interesting superhero to play with or even hear them talk about at all.
The sheer...

Have you ever played a character who wore a full-body environment/stealth suit type armor (pic related)? Would you? If yes, what would that character be?
No magical realm answers please.
Depends on the game.
I did, once, in a supers game. It was a biological android and purposefully hid it's identity at all costs to avoid being 'dismantled' and pretended it was a robot. It was a sensory psychic that worked with the players as intel gathering and psychic sniping with nonlethal mind bolts during combat.
>>48087643
Nice concept dude.
>No magical realm answers please.
Nigger the whole concept of "full body armour" is a magical realm. Nobody would wear this except as a spacesuit because it's constricting, uncomfortable and limits your senses to the point of being crippled. Now fuck off.
Why are bears' ears round?
They're the only forest critters the elves haven't fucked yet

Oh thank god, it's not a neckbearded weeb.
I need Paladins /tg/. Give me every holy warrior you have.Bonus points if they are in the act of smiting the wicked.
Holy knights are the most stylin' of warriors.
If constraints on mtg deck construction were lifted, what single card would you fill your deck with besides the necessary lands? You may answer for any format. No card is banned.
>>48086336
Make a deck with 30 mox pearls, 30 shahrazad

14 Strip Mines, 14 Mishra's Workshops, 16 Trinispheres, 6 Crucible of Worlds, 5 Smokestacks and 5 Lodestone Golems

Strength: 10/10 shakes
Endurance: 8/8 hour arms workout
Animal Handling: Dog specialty
Do you blindly do what the dice say, or do you cheat to get what you want?
I enjoy the spirit of the game like a (relatively) well-adjusted human being, and accept that chance may or may not go in my favor.
>>48085479
You're supposed to follow what the dice roll on. If you choose to ignore it, you might as well be reading your players a book.
>>48085479
For RPGs, dice can and eventually will be fudged for the sake of the story going smoothly and making sure everybody is having fun. That's something I think every player needs to accept.
>The bbeg is a evil dictator.
>He's actually being a total bro/this guy to his citizens. Enforcing through positive reinforcement with a kinder gentler hand but is still doing evil shit.
How do you do this kind of bbeg correctly?
>>48085091
Avatar's firenation is a good example. Propaganda doesn't have to be bad. Expansionism can bring prosperity. Nationalism can be used to inspire people.
Make it Brave New World. He keeps the people so happy and docile they are practically sheep, and act as his personal slave army. He does nothing "wrong," but on a deeper fundamental level it just isn't right.
Is he actually evil at this point?
