Have puzzles gone too far?
>>44643135
>No
That looks awesome. Someone actually considered some creative options for a puzzle and you immediately think they've gone too far?
>>44643135
That looks like it would be fun

How large of a bullet would you need to take a tarresque down?
>>44642654
What edition?
But generally speaking, bullets won't do shit no matter how large, you need magical weapon.
>>44642654
Large enough that you can't reasonably call it a bullet anymore.
>>44642654
How big is a Terrasque? What kind of creature is it?
Height?
lbs/kg?
>A group of young noblewomen has taken to following your party, imitating the sounds of automatic crossbows as they do so
If they get killed then it's not my fault...or if a diaretic finds its way into their food.

Rape, Pillage, Execute.
Remember kids, never adventure with crazies.
One line greentext banable offence when
>Continued conflict with the Inquisition over the use of Chaotic artefacts during the 13th Black Crusade resulted in the Relictors ultimately being declared Excommunicate Traitoris by the Ordo Hereticus and the Chapter was all but destroyed by the Ordo Malleus' Grey Knights under the command of Inquisitor Cyarro.
Isn't killing other chapters the job of the Space Wolves?
>>44641897
No.
>>44641897
Player of the Relictors here, I like to imagine that they're still loyal to the imperium because they're such an interesting concept. Also last I checked there were still 200 or so of them left, the Crimson Fists rebuilt from less. Either way we're not dead until you rip the Screaming Flail from our glorious chapter master's cold hands. Also there are still sympathetic elements in various radical inquisitorial factions.
>>44642356
Wait, they use a flail that has screaming heads on it?
Cool.
Hey I am DM'ing for the first time tomorrow and was wondering if you guys could share some tips that aren't obvious and would enhance our session

Bring snacks and have fun

Don't listen to the people who shout "JUST IMPROVISE MORE!"
Prepare. Prepare. Prepare. There's a pretty good chance that the exact preparations themselves won't come up, but the process is invaluable, IF you do it right.
Don't make a long daisy chain of events, don't go
>First A happens, and then B happens, and then either C or D happens depending on which lead the players want to investigate, but both will lead them to E, the adventure boss, who has a few clues leading into the larger plot once he's been defeated.
That's bad, and vulnerable because the successive occurances are very dependent on the prior ones, creating a multiple fail situation.
Instead, you should prepare by plotting out loci of important NPCs and monsters and factions in the area that the adventure is taking place in, the geography, the culture, the politics. Have a good grasp of why people are motivated to do what they're doing, who they are and what they want. Once you have all those pieces in place, it's enormously easy to adjust things on the fly if the PCs do what you don't expect, because you've created a background and can derive new alternatives from it instead of just pulling it out of thin air.
I know some people will say that "If you're good enough at improvising, you can do that anyway without all the prep", but I personally have never seen it., and I've played for a long time. The ones who are "good at improvising" are also the same ones who put a lot of energy and effort into their games, and bring notes to the table.

How do I invent coherent (and engaging) plot goals?
Since I often feel that way myself and don't want to start a thread for just my question, this one is for everyone. Read through a few posts and help where you can, then post your own question.
If a post already has 5+ responses, it might be better to focus on other ones. And don't start arguing too much about other suggestions, people will be able to find out if the system is a good fit for their gaming group themselves.
What I am looking for:
>Generic Low Fantasy applicable for most settings
>Not class-based
>Rather deadly combat
>Maximum of three books necessary
>Able to play non-combat-oriented characters
>Bonus for elaborate crafting/enchanting rules and tables, but not necessary
>>44641801
I'm going to "fantasycraft,"even though you said "not class based." I still think you'd like it
>>44641801
Dominion Rules.
>>44641838
OP specifically said not classed based though.
