I'll keep it short.
How do I stop being a rollplayer and start becoming a roleplayer?
>pic related. It's how I roleplay
Even though my characters are fully fleshed out (background, general behaviour, dreams, hopes, etc.) I somehow have a hard time getting into them.
Tbh, as long as you don't metagame, you're fine. Just try to find something simple to have your character occasionally focus on and you're good.
>>44606862
Start by making characters based on yourself, use these characters to insert yourself into whatever situation is at hand.

>What has been your experience with them?
Every time I create an immensely popular TV show, someone always comes along and writes a parody of a non-canon self-insert character who is perfect in every way and which is designed specifically to illustrate the problem of bad fanzine fiction.
Or did OP write "Mary Sue" when he meant "poorly-designed character"?
>>44605549
I think OP has no clue about what a Mary Sue actually is.

Why talk about things you enjoy when you could rage about things you don't? As always normal non salty discourse of board games/deckbuilders/etc is welcome here

I spent the last 4 hours reading and rereading the rule to Paths of Glory. I don't own the game, I don't plan to, and I have nobody to play with, but I'd absolutely be up for a game.
>>44570614
For what it's worth, I don't think I've ever once seen people play games of that sort in my area like, ever. Everyone tends to favor euro styles heavily though, that and light stuff, so I guess it's probably why. Still, I need to sit down one day and try one. I think a giant game of axis and allies sounds fun, but I guess that's not the same. Still need to play that too, lol.

fucks sake, next time can someone PLEASE make an OP image that's readable from the catalog? hard as fuck to find bgg these days. Also whatever happened to the pastebin?
So for Christmas, I got a bunch of books on Algonquian wendigo folklore, which I have devoured. I would love to share a lot of the cool material within with /tg/, for use in campaigns, but I am unsure of where to start. Also, I have to be in bed in a little under three hours if I'm going to get to work on time tomorrow.
So if /tg/ has any questions in the next three hours it would like to ask about wendigos, please feel free. If you have a question and I miss it, I'll check the archive and try to answer it in a follow-up thread tomorrow.
How do I make a wendigo pc?
On a serious note, just how dangerous is a wendigo if we have a guy who can bend the laws of nature to his will, a robot that never sleeps, and a guy who can communicate with the Deep Ones?
And how many types of wendigo are there?
>>44551706
Not OP, but talking from experience. It depends on the level of the PC's. A wendigo makes a brilliant BBEG to a reasonably low-level party, but the moment they're even on-par with it, it's a middling threat at best.
>>44551763
Skinwalker, can perfectly imitate voices, extremely fast, horrifying, expert at hiding, among other things. I'm pretty sure a wendigo can be more than just a middling threat. The older they get, the more dangerous they are, right? That's how they work, isn't it? Can you imagine what would happen if they worked in pairs, or as a group? I'm shivering at just the thought of it.
Welcome back for another Late Night Random Civ Thread special. I'm you host, OP and tonight we're going to be starting off from the last part we ended at two nights ago, the werewolf attack.

(Forgot to put part 2 in the title RIP)
Your spearman rest a bit to cook up some Ku-fee. They all decided to take a little more grind from their Ku-fee pack, just in case things get hairy. Most of the men, if not all, snort the grind, becoming twitchy but having better reactions, and also drink a cup.
They pack up their Ku-fee bags and start to march into the forest. Right before they are about to enter the men from the fisherman huts come over to your spearman, and want to join the hunting band. They are equipped with fishing spears.

Also updated map from last time with some updates on the map. I got gimp and started messing around with it a little.
One last bump until I leave this thread to die
Could some people who are more familiar with the 40k setting settle a small dispute for me? Discounting possible variations in fighting style, tactics, etc., would this be a somewhat even fight? Not completely on par, but with each side having a reasonable chance of victory. They’re fighting over a fortress/light manufacturing planet with very variable topography.

200 Astartes (including an entire 1st company)
1,250 Sororitas (basically one whole minor order)
3,000 Skitarii and other Mechanicum forces

Fluffwise Chaos would easily win that.
>>44616864
>>44617009
if they got the daemons out there's a god chance there's an entrance to the warp opens which means the imperium's going to need to mobilize a lot more forces space marines might be able to handle the chaos mariens and demons but the other chaos forces will be causing havoc all over the planet that the guard and sororitas will need to take on
>>44616864
Fluff-wise or rules-wise ?
For me it all depends on the Skitarii, since they go from "barely augmented guardsmen" to "terminator in anything but name, but with additional weaponry on mechadendrites"
