Does anyone else like playing dice games in the washroom? The acoustics are just right.

Wtf?
No you double nigger.
Scrub that toilet with pic OP, that orange gunk is disgusting.

I live in a fucking haunted house.
I don't mean it's literally haunted (though it probably is, the last owner killed his daughter in the basement with a steak knife) I mean that it's one of those houses that just makes noises for no fucking reason because it was built over multiple generations and parts of it contract at different rates during temperature changes. So could could be laying in bed just trying to sleep and this fucking BANG like Michael Moore falling off a pile of hypocrisy onto...

You know how the Supreme Court issued an opinion in that Citizen's United case? The one protesters were mad about because they stated that "corporations are people with protected speech"? Well the Supreme Court wasn't just blowing smoke. Corporations really are people. Some people have warped personalities. Some people with warped personalities are serial killers. There are a string of bodies buried throughout the tri-state area that would give homicide detectives one hell of a headache if they were ever found.

Unknown Armies thread, I guess.
>>44757730
So yeah, corporations are people, and the force of law makes it true. Now all corporations have a presence, a man or woman, who answers to that name. Nobody can agree where they came from, but anyone who's persistent enough can find out where they went.
All of these corporation people currently reside in a large gated community outside Vicksburg, Mississippi, but you won't be allowed to get...

How do I go about representing Angels in-game without making them seem mundane and recognizable?
I guess Angel thread.
Hey I have another angel like that. Wonder where the rest of them are.
WotC has done something interesting.

I think they did this to make up for the fact they don't have a lot of people on 5e and most of their content for that is going to be Forgotten Realms. Thus they decided to prop 5e with a place where people make content and they decide what to sell it for.
Thoughts /tg/ ?
More stuff for something other than the Forgettable Realms is a good thing.
/5eg/ (>>44755420) has been pretty optimistic about it. There are a few "ugh homebrew" shitters and a little talk about the legal bits of putting it on DMs Guild, but mostly people seem optimistic about it. The OGL SRD means that the system's simple-yet-solid systems can be used freely by other designers without worry of legal ramifications, and that people who don't want to pay for the books can still play with the SRD alone.
Legally, it's important to remember that putting...

I'm personally really interested to see what comes out of the Dungeon Master's Guild. And I'm wondering how long it will take Paizo to swipe the 5e rules for Pathfinder: Second Edition.
>>44760941
>Don't post your darling homebrew setting on there.
DM's Guild is explicitly Forgotten Realms-only. Homebrew settings are the domain of the OGL.
Any diesel punk ideas, lads?

How to make a warlike kingdom seem eerie without resorting to necromancy or demon worship? Make them forcefully turn captured people into some sort of technomagical battle servitor but with them being still fully aware and retaining their memories so they will see them killing their former comrades and burning their own towns and there's nothing they can do about it?
>>44757144
Aztecs.
>warlike kingdom
>eerie
I'm not sure that's the word you're looking for. Eerie is a special kind of creepy. Eerie is going through cities and towns where everything is perfectly intact, fires are still going in forges and everything is clear and not even dusty, but there's no living thing around, not even birds or burgs. Eerie is everyone you meet giving big toothy smiles all the time for no reason.
What you're looking for might be "creepy" or "evil".
>>44757144
Warlike and eerie are concepts that really mesh well anon.
>>44757249
This guy has it pretty spot on what eerie is, and warlike isn't that. Even being creepy I don't think is a good match up with warlike.
Bot eerie and creepy imply something hidden and sinister. Being warlike means being pretty openly aggressive.
I think your best bet, instead of trying to find something other than eerie is to find something other than warlike. Maye oppressive...

So I want to get into 40k. There's a small group near me that meets up weekly and plays. The problem is I know the lore but literally nothing about the game. Where do I start? I'm also looking to do this as cheap as possible.
You don't
Speaking as someone with probobly over 25000 points
Don't
>>44755609
>as cheap as possible
Find a small army on EBay from someone who just got married. Only way you're getting into this with any kind of financial dignity.

Why won't you free Palestine?
Could someone give me different scenarios and explain how the different D&D alignments would act in that scenario? I'm retarded and not quite getting how different alignments would act.
If context helps I'm a new DM and want to know the baseline actions of various NPC's/Monsters based on their alignments or punishing players for going outside their alignment/codes (in the case of a paladin or something).
>>44754790
Alignments are almost never agreed upon. But I'll give you how I generally interpret each of them so maybe that will help.
>Lawful Good
The character is devoted both to doing the right thing and to making sure others do the right thing. Often times, as in the case of the Paladin, the LG character has authority to impose the law onto others, as long as the Law they impose is also Good. For this reason, a paladin can execute an unarmed prisoner rather than send him...

the edition please
>>44754972
I disagree with this. A paladin would not kill an unarmed prisoner.
Lawful vs Chaotic is whether you prioritize the system or the individual. Good vs Evil is whether you prioritize yourself or others. Neutral is not having strong convictions one way or the other.
I'm trying to redownload the 4e CBloader program, after my hard drive crashed, and I can't seem to get it to work right. I followed the directions in the readme, but I'm missing a ton of options, like Healer/Battle Cleric's Lore(instead of having that option, it just goes straight from "Build" to "Deity")
Also, general 4e thread
Anyone got any good ways to make Paragon Multiclassing worth the effort?
>>44754017
Not sure what you mean by "Paragon multiclassing". Do you mean a multiclass feat, taken while in paragon, or a mutliclass based paragon path?

If the Blood Ravens are loyalist remnants of the Thousand Sons, why don't they suffer from the same gene seed instability?
>>44753761
They obtained the cure as a "gift".
>>44753761
The rubric fixed it, wouldnt surprise if either the marines turning into dust only happened in the planet of sorcerers or that the loyalist 1ksons turned into dust but still had enough marines to found the new chapter with new recruits.
Because Tzeentch is a capricious dick-hole who is supressing their mutations so that the ravens csn continue running around "aquiring" other chapters artifcts. Up until they have every thing he needs to enact some grand ritual which uses the artifacts as focuses to affect all the loyalist founding chapters at once.
I was wondering if anyone had any tips for a new player to tabletop games. im going to be piloting the freighter and i want to steer clear of any new player mistakes.
>>44753610
Chargen is a dirty rotten trick. Invest in attributes over skills. You want to be rolling at least three dice in any situation.
Have fun with Edge of the Empire. Not a hard game. Check out the d6 Star Wars system at d6holocron.

yeah i was thinking i shouldve done that. my character is a rigger with 4 in agilty and a 3 in inteligence. but hes a droid so i ignored the rest. hes a rigger and i suped the ship all the way to the skill that allows me to burn fate to keep the ship from being destroyed. i should have put more into my attributes

How do you work with wounds in your games? The idea of that Orc berserker playing noughts and crosses on the fighter's chest and the wound being fully healed after a night's sleep is ludicrous.
>>44752242
Its not ludicrous in a world of magick and sorcery
going "too real" with wound systems is boring and hurts campaign progression
>>44752277
Even so, what justification could one use for the healing magic involved if the cleric's all out of spells?
Not questioning it as a gameplay mechanic, just trying to make it slightly more immersive.
>>44752307
people/things in this world heal faster?
I mean the mechanic doesn't apply to one thing, stuff like that applies to everyone and everything in the world
maybe the winds of magic are in the very air, empowering even the common folk slightly
Master does this unit have a soul?
>>44751308
You have both soul and machine spirit intertwined, the most pure of both parts.
>>44751308
No. You will never unite with the Emperor. Get back to work.
>>44751308
Yes, that's the point. AI does not have a soul so chaos can take it over more easily- souls faithful to the God Emperor resist with His guidance.
