whats a good way to implement a mechanically sound octopus/kraken/cthulhu encounter into a game, underwater and above?

Kidnap your players
Bind them up and blindfold them

How about telling us WHAT game/system you're using you useless fuck so that people tempted to help you don't have to spend a lot of thought and effort on something that might be completely irrelevant.

How do you incorporate memes into your 5e game, /5eg/?

>How do you incorporate memes into your 5e game, /5eg/?
Anyone who does this, is what is wrong with tabletop gaming today.
I cannot even say how sick I am of the "lolrandumb" shit from new players who come into games having read /tg/ screencaps and think they should have Sir Bearington-tier chuckles 24/7, and derail the game with shitty jokes and gimmick characters that turn the entire campaign into complete, puerile crap.
Having a character that "breaks the fourth wall" is not witty or inventive, it's an incentive to blow your brains against my basement wall with a 12 gauge.
Having a character who constantly makes Steven Universe references, or rage comic references, or references to ANYTHING that is not part of the D&D world, is annoying and unnacceptable behavior.
It needs to stop. Please do not encourage it further OP.
>>44636788
I know it can be upsetting to not keep up with the times. Things you loved are being updated and changing, and getting used to games with memes can be a bit disconcerting. It's okay, anon. There are memes out there even you may love.
So I got to thinking and a mountain dwarf rouge seems like a legit idea one could roll with, so I may make one in the near future. My only question is if mountain dwarves get shield proficiency.
Also, anyone else have any strange but workable character ideas?

Waking up, early again your pack still slumbers. The forest around you is quiet save for the wind in thr treetops. You take a moment to reflect on your situation. You woke up in a cold wood, you wernt alone though, dozens of other found themselves the same way. From what you can smell and feel, they are all like you. Cursed with beasthood burning in your body, the ravaging hunger gnawing at your stomach.
But at least you are making a home here, some of your pack spent a good portion of their days digging through the frozen ground to make the beginnings of your den. While others explored to the east, finding a small lake and river teeming with fish. The scent of blood leaks from your food stores, the still half butchered bear carcass Horl brought back will probably this morning’s meal. Suddenly you remember, and your eyes flick wide open. Something was watching you, pale eyes and white skin, across the clearing.
Nothing is there but trees and sunlight.
Your pack wakes, wild and energetic; ready to take on the day. Welcome back to Were-Civ!

What could a gun in a high-fantasy setting use instead of gunpowder?
magicpowder
now fuck off
Literally anything. I had a session with giant moths as an enemy that ended up having the players postulate that their moth dust was an analogue for gunpowder.
Just... magic? Load a metal projectile in, the trigger completes runes that draw magic from the wielder. Special projectiles, special guns, and skilled wielders can give shots different properties, make them more accurate, or deal more damage with them.

Damn, who the artist is for that pic needs to revisit their human anatomy basics.
Appears not to know how to draw boobs front-viewed. Made the hips and ass somehow 7 inches lower than the bottom of the pelvis, as well as thighs that are individually thicker than the midriff.
Oh, and because of the obligatory bust of the breasts, they compensated by making the chest expand outwards, but didn't change the shoulder width, making it seem as if perhaps she doesn't have armpits. The sockets simply meld straight into rib cage.
Where did you get this stuff?!

Okay, so two of my Friends who have never met each other are into Anima, I know very little about it, and I have read the books, but between translation issues and standard rpg layout madness, I got lost during character creation.
Is there a straightforward summary of how to play / run Anima? If not, could (Would) someone scratch one up here?

As promised, reposting from previous thread.
You've asked for it, now it's here - we've started a Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/dreamscarred?ty=h
We're showing this to you guys first, before we fire it live at other locations. Partially this is a gratitude thing; /pfg/ has been very good to us. You've tested our stuff with enthusiasm, offered critical feedback, helped save Chris's ass in a time of need, and continue to be both critical and supportive. We appreciate that more than you know, especially considering that, honestly, we sorta expected to be laughed out of here ages ago.
We're /also/ using this as a chance to learn more about our customer bases. As we've branched into new forums and made our PR attempts more aggressive we've sorta lost track of the numbers of customers and readers in various non-Paizo locations. This isn't part of the pitch, I just figured I should be on the level with you guys.
Everything's laid out in the Patreon. It'll be updated as new supplements come out or coalesce into being near enough to done to announce. It should be noted that the payments are a per-supplement model, not a per-month model; we're all aware of our Layout Hell problems.
My thanks, from the bottom of my heart, to all of you for the help and support you've given us thus far, especially in making our projects better. We do this for love; it just takes money to actually publish.
We'll be fielding questions starting /now/, though I need to note that I personally will likely be gone for two days (tomorrow and Saturday) for oral surgery and recovery.

You know in Toy Story 3 when Mr Potato Head puts his face bits on a tortilla and escapes? Really bothers me.
Where is Mr Potato Head's consciousness located? Is he an assortment of bits? A swarm? Is he incorporeal? And the face bits are just the ritual objects which summon him into a host shell?
What if we pressed his face bits into a person? Does he possess them?
Given in Toy Story 2 he was able to see out of an eye that was removed miles away from him, and given that in Toy Story 3 he was able to remove an arm and have it move by itself, we can only deduce that his consciousness is located in every given piece of his original body.
EXCEPT for the fact that he seems to possess a pair of "Angry Eyes", which he was able to equip without going blind. This means either he can choose which parts his consciousness inhabits, or he inhabits every piece ever equipped to him.
Given the world of Toy Story is not ruled by an Overlord Mega Potato Head, we can only assume the former, and that he he functions much like a cybernetic organism, able to equip and de-equip body parts on a whim, transferring a fragment of his consciousness as he sees fit.
This also means that the only difference between him and "Mrs Potato Head" is the body parts currently equipped, meaning its entirely possible [even likely, given Mr Potato Head's depravity] that they switch roles as it pleases them, either for 'bedroom games', or simply to fuck with the other Toys. If they have not done so before, it is almost certain they would have eventually been driven to it by sheer boredom if they had been transferred to the attic with the Christmas decorations, as originally planned.

>Where is Mr Potato Head's consciousness located? Is he an assortment of bits? A swarm? Is he incorporeal? And the face bits are just the ritual objects which summon him into a host shell?
His consciousness is in his parts. After all, Mr. Potato Head was originally just bits you put into a potato.
This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son, shortly after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Chunin graduate named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your two squadmates are Kichiro, a young delinquent, and Ai, a strange social outcast of a girl. You are of average skill in most aspects, although your sharp intelligence, and your jack of trades skill set have brought you far. You have just recently graduated to a Chunin after winning the final tournament, and it is the day after. You have some time to relax.

HAHA, AFTER 33 threads i finally caught one before it ended
You wake up the following day, resting long and hard after being embraced by your brother in a lung-crushing hug. You've brought home a trophy filled with prize money, as well as becoming the second Chunin in your family. The two of you went out and enjoyed a large dinner before heading back and resting up.
Once you awaken, the realization that you have no current obligation to anyone in particular dawns on you. You're essentially free to do as you want for the first time in about a month in a half. After breakfast and a shower, you step outside your front door, the morning sun lighting the sky bright blue as usual. You can go anywhere in the village.

When I was GM I lifted entire story arcs straight from the comics, which was glorious because no one else in my group actually reads them so they all think I'm a great GM
I played the medic from TF2 once. Dnd. Iw was fucking great till the DM up and said "fuck you" and stopped the game.
I was stuck in a Pathfinder game that I wasn't really into, so I decided to make a character that took very little effort to play but could still contribute.
I made Tor from MKX. Basically a direct port, just with a name change.
Homebrewed Half-Ogre Brawler. He basically didn't talk, and just kinda faded into the background when combat wasn't happening / raw muscle wasn't needed. Wound up being quite helpful to the team, greatest moment may have been when he threw a spear to its maximum range increment from one island to another and absolutely fucked up his target with it.
Welcome one, and I welcome you all to the tale of a world called Thespia.
Here is the odyssey of one that clings to this world with no face of their own! In a place where magic is fundamental to all of creation, all who live wear their lives upon their face, where a fire might wish to be the cooking fire of an inn!
Previously the Faceless was tasked with pursuing the Lord of Bikel Manor by the elders of the liberated Guisi. There, he would find resolution to the errant behavior of the Danhor sworn to his duty.
Odette, a Guisi woman and archer whom recently began to renounce her Arche in favor of her original one. Hers was a tale of honor that drove her to lie to herself for years that she loved a man that she did not as a husband only to make her father happy. Now, she travels with the Faceless as a friend, and perhaps more on the journeys to come.
Mira, a Guisi girl on the cusp of womanhood and would-be hero of Guisi contracted with a Greater Beast on par with a forest lord. Though timid, her shadow shows bloodlust and anger to those that have hurt her and her people. For now at least, she accompanies The Faceless to see through the resolution the Guisi require to their tragedies.
Upon arrival at the village of Bikel, the Faceless was confronted with guardsmen that begged for their life. The kind nature of The Faceless won over and the Reaper's mask he wears rebelled. On the fringe of losing the only face he has, a familiar presence approached him and told him to use the characteristic of his true self: Understanding was the answer, and that allowed the Faceless to regain control.
Having broken into the Manor of Bikel in pursuit of Lord Grant, the Faceless now stands over the portly little lord?...

A posh velvet bedroom with a window hanging open as the frightful wind causes it to clatter against the masonry. Looking around, you would see heart shaped pillows dyed red and every stitch whispering gossip of secret affairs and lewd encounters. The woman that you'd swiftly knocked out lies upon the floor on the sad furs of a bear that begrudge its new owners for repeated defilement. And sat upon a chair is you, presiding over a fat Hylon squirming like a pig from Mira's mighty thread that's coiled around his body binding his arms and legs like a thick sausage.
Odette stands beside you, arrow knocked and bow ready to fire at a moment's notice. Mira grips her thread with deadly sharp eyes, yet she frowns and then squints her eyes, somewhat troubled by something.
“I-” The sausage squeaks and Mira's venomous needle pokes at the apple of his throat with a dangerous gleam.
“I did not permit you to speak scum.” You snipe as you debate over what to do. You'd not expected this “Lord Grant” To be so... thick and sad. It almost leaves a foul taste in your mouth, More than anything, it makes the part of you that is the reaper burn evermore with fury that a swine such as this would damn those that follow an Arche that wants nothing more than the peace of their own lands.
With a deep breath, you exhale deeply in this room stinking of lovemaking and posh perfumes. It makes you shudder, again in deep disgust.

Age: 736
Location: Unknown Planet
Information: After defeating Frieza, Daikon and his surviving allies returned to Planet Vegeta, where they usurped the King. With Daikon now ruling with Azu as his queen, he has turned his attention toward waging war with Cooler and King Cold. Having invaded Cooler's territory, Daikon now prepares to battle on a distant planet.

Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place in the years Frieza controlled Planet Vegeta, as the Saiyans grow in strength and try to find a way to free themselves.
Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.
Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is considered a crit success (unless 100 was the number you had to match).
If a 1 is rolled, it is a crit failure, regardless of whether or not the other two rolls are high enough to succeed.
If, during a battle, players want to attempt a writein action, that is allowed, but I am the one who will assign the number to it, so use caution
You're a young male Saiyan who fought in the war with the Tuffles. You've become one of the most powerful Saiyans in the universe, but there's still potential for you to grow stronger.

I swear to god 50% of the shit in my campaign I make up on the spot. I had my group fighting pirates at one point and the fucking sorcerer wanted to kidnap them back to their house. Now I have them making some kind of fighting pit/bar within the house. I have an expenses list written up. Side note other than food and staff what else should they have to pay for? I have a feeling they are going to be in this fighting pit a lot.
