LAST TIME
Our big war to take over a simple base from zombies backfired explosively (literally).
And so we decided the only solution to attracting zombies with an explosion. . .was an even bigger explosion.
And somehow in the madness of it all, it worked? The zombies are no longer headed for us, but there are a lot more of them and boy are they angry at everything, but not at us only thankfully.
New thread since last thread is about to 404
Rolled 90 (1d100)

I wonder how many more explosions sufficient to drop off chunks of the platform we're on this platform has left before it all drops down. Let's see what the dice say.
>>48069756
apparently not many!
go figure.

Welcome everyone, new and old players alike! This is Tundra civ, a civ thread series in which we've gone from stone age farmers in the tundra to space explorers!
You play as the rulers of the White Republic, one of the human nations from the planet Terra Nova.

Today is your lucky day.
After receiving your orders from Aizen himself you teamed up with fellow Espada Wang Lan in order to find new recruits for the army.
And even though this was your first expedition to the surface you already hit the jackpot.
Tier Harribel, a Vasto Lorde who was hiding in a small cave, has agreed to at least take a look at Vanaheim after sufficient persuasion.
She seems to be a very stoic person who deeply cares about her subordinates, judging by the way she treated her followers, on top of being quite powerful.
In short, if she...

Despite that you keep walking like nothing happened, instead you turn your head to look at Harribel.
"Is it usually like this?"
Appachi gets offended at that.
"What did you just say?!"
Harribel however doesn't seem to care all that much.
"You get used to it."
This woman must have the patience of a saint.
"By the way, how long do we have to keep going?
We've done nothing but walk for the last hour and a half."
After doing a bit of calculating you reply to her.
"Probably four days...

When the small army gets within eyesight you can see how angry they look.
"It's them!
They have the white clothes!"
Some of them shout to the others.
"KILL THEM ALL!
FOR HIS MAJESTY!"
They waste no time with pleasantries and instead rush you, thinking that they can overwhelm you with sheer numbers.
Wang Lan steps forward and grabs her two bundled up weapons.
"I'll do it.
This is beneath the Segunda."
It seems she'd like to take the initiative.
What do you do?

Also "this thing about tabletop gaming sucks" thread.
>>48089430
There's no such thing as a "genuinely new and unique race" because nothing is ever completely original. However, your problem is very easy to fix : make up your own settings and lore. Even if you think you're bad at it, you'll at least create something that fits your taste.
>>48089465
The issue with that is I'd have to DM. Annoyingly, being the DM stresses me the fuck out for no good reason. I just wanna play in a world that's fresh and exciting, you know?
>>48089490
You could play a more collaborative system and work with your GM to build the setting. I'm the GM for two Fate campaigns, and while I handle most of the worldbuilding because I'm autistic and obsessed with it, I have my players contribute lots of lore too. In one campaign they each wrote basic lore for their country of origin while I handled the specifics and connecting all of it, for example.
How do the people you play with feel about the issue ? Would they be up to work on an original setting ?
Why is it that whenever I decide to play a Paladin, everyone at the table gets pissy?
This has been a constant in every group I've played with in the past two years, even when it's my first time with that group.
Is the "Lawful Good is the worst alignment" myth still being referenced by many?
I personally love Paladins, too much potential for trope subversion, good roleplay, and interesting story. My favorite character I ever played was a rather unique Paladin, actually.
Or does /tg/ hate Paladins, too?
>>48087737
People don't like being constrained by rules, even if they were going to follow them in the first place.
You are literally playing the walking rulebook.
>>48087737
Because the unrightious don't like to be kept in check.
>>48087761
>>48087770
it's starting to sound to me like alot of people don't know how to play Paladins well
did blizzard invent this type of weapon and why
I know a character in soul caliber had a circle style weapon, so maybe not? Most of my dnd groups would call them a glaive.
Yes, maybe? iirc was based on some ancient Chinese weapon. Blizz saw it, then said "yeah lets make it bigger, shinier and yet a bit darker at the same time. And let's add sharp things on it",then again maybe not
>>48086722
That's just another variation on the theme of chackram.
I guess they look exotic and 'cool', and they needed something unique for a race that had to look as alien from a typical western-styled human civilization as possible.
Gooooood evening and welcome everyone to /tg/, the board where everything's made up and the experience points don't matter. That's right, they're sort of like my calorie count, you can have as many as you want but it really doesn't mean anything.
Today we're playing a game called Scenes from a Hat.

Would using the Goliath stats for a Firbolg be reasonable?
>>48086125
yeah thats perfect
Thinking of an upcoming plot point where the party finds a ring of controlling a golem, then they go to not-Egypt to uncover the golem and be able to use it in future sessions.
Any suggestions on ways to personalize the golem or tweak it for different combat options?
What was the most mundane thing that your most evil character ever did, /tg/?

You know, dunking plain shortbread cookies into orange juice actually sounds pretty good.
Went to a restaurant and ordered lunch. I dunno, you wanted something mundane.

Sorin did nothing wrong.
Nigga did some things wrong tho.

Everything bad happening can be directly tied back to him being too much of a condescending ass to Nahiri. He could have just told her that he was tired from making an angel and a giant ass chunk of silver made to imprison demons. Or he could have sucked it up and left for 10 minutes to check the hedrons.
But no, he had to act like a douche which provoked Nahiri to fight so he sealed her away, meaning she wasn't there to stop Elf Hitler from awakening the Eye of Ugin meaning the Eldrazi got free, meaning...

Sorin did something wrong, and should be punished
Nahiri also did something wrong, and should be punished

magiccards.info hasn't updated in forever. What's up?
Building Alesha, any spicy stuff Edh rec doesn't know about?
Any thoughts on how fun it is to play it?
Should I build Arcum Dagsson artifact toolbox, or Daretti stax? I can only build one. I will be playing primarily multiplayer.
Why hasn't 3d printing bankrupted Games Workshop yet?
Because you touch yourself.
>>48076216
Because a 3d printer that makes minis of equal quality to GW's costs several thousand dollars.
Plus, it's not like you can just print assets from Dawn of War and expect them to turn out as tabletop-quality minis. Video game models don't have nearly the poly count needed for that.
Because the machines which are good enough to produce miniatures to GW's standards are extremely expensive, so there's no saving to be made.
Also GW have the convenience of an actual retail arm and produce a lot of stuff in plastic which many people like significantly better than the stuff 3D printers work in.
...and there are probably some people who feel bad about pirating a company's IP. Film studios still make big profits even though stealing their product is much easier.

I'd swap out strength for wisdom since its the Druid stat along with perception and survival shit.

Fit what? Night elves? Those specific characters? A specific person? Need more info...
>>48072896
Give them wisdom and endurance boosts for charisma drop as well.
What does /tg/ think of Biopunk? Is it just a hollow aesthetic like steampunk or can it be more?
Just aestheticsm amnd nothing more.
>>48072161
its really great in underwater, alien or otherwise mythical. disney's Atlantis movie was great in that regard.
