What would a dragon that took levels in Bard be like?
Like Sean Connery singing to that lady in the movie dragonheart.
Still getting all the bitches

What if they exist in a vat of water and use two of their appendages to propel the vat on wheels?

Oh fuck off already.
I want to run a game set during the Three Kingdoms period but i am not sure what system to use. I have been told Exalted would be the best but would that mean all the players would have to be solar?
I was also thinking about Legends of The Wu Lin but i am not sure it how it handles mass combat, any suggestions would really help me out.

>>44502091
Exalted is a bit of a bad choice at the moment, since the new edition is the first to be not complete trash, but at present the choices for characters are Solars and dirty peasant mortals.
LotW handles mass combat in a weird way: a group of people is statted out as a single character, and given a rank similar to the rank used for PCs. Of the two, I'd suggest LotW.
GURPS might work, but it puts a lot on the GM to look through splats for the rules they want to use, so it might not be best if you're...

Didn't see one up, so let's get one going.
What's /tg/ been working on? What's your new favorite, your biggest headache, your idea that you want to flesh out but no one wants to hear it?
Just a general thread for share ideas, and asking for help.
How does one justify old worn science fantasy without it turning into another post-apoc wasteland setting?
Low space opera, I can't make a map because space is 3D and mostly everything takes place in Earth's orbit, clusters of space stations etc. The scale and positioning would be impossible on a 2D image.

being completely new to the whole board game scene, I kept hearing the term "ameritrash" when describing a game. I always thought it meant it was a board game made in the US thats pretty shitty. Thats what it sounds like it implies but its nothing like that at all.
seems like a shit way to describe a game
>>44497253
Pretty apt to me. It's a game you may well throw in the trash because of how bad it is and it originated from (and is widely promoted by) America, the land of the stupid.
Could anyone with Mountains of Madness post a picture of the Giant Penguin monster token? I need it for reasons.

It's actually both, anon. But it seems to be more widely accepted as the latter, rather than the former.
A homebrew as a game would be the equivalent of an indie videogame, any set of rules with a setting not published by a big company in the field, but the same term can be applied to any set of modified rules/mechanics of an already completed and fleshed out system.

Also: for a separate system, how do you all feel about a compared stat system? Like "compare these stats, for every one of yours that is higher, get a +1, for ever lower a -1, roll for unmoving target number based on action"
Does it take too long for each combat/not generally worth it? Is it better to just do Your Stats -Their stats +dice to achieve...

Information: Daikon and his fellow Saiyans finally confronted the tyrannical Frieza on the galactic Emperor's home turf. The battle was fierce, and, despite the Super Saiyan powers of both Daikon and Soko, Frieza proved more than a match for them. When Sabi was injured, Daikon tapped into further power, but it still wasn't enough. After nearly being killed, Daikon was healed, and confronted Frieza again, managing to defeat him. Victory came at a cost, however, as Rugula was killed. The Saiyans now return to their homeworld to...

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...

The flight to Planet Vegeta has been one of mixed emotions.
On the one hand, everyone is thrilled to have finally defeated Frieza, and succeeded on the mission you set out to complete years ago. On the other, many feel saddened by the loss of not only Rugula, but the others that perished during your time roaming the cosmos.

OK /tg/ I really need your help with somethin:
Last night, our DM decided it was a good idea to be a stupid piece of shit and kill my character off just because I Had to take care of some family stuff and I didnt really get much of a chance or forewarning that stuff was gonna happen.

Fighting That Guy with That Guy just creates two That Guys. Just find a better group.

yeah but I want to make sure That Guy gets justice. I cant let him win, and I need to win for the sake of the other players at the table. They shouldnt need to be subjected to his bullshit anymore.
>>44550008
Seriously, the best thing you can do is leave. Take the rest of the group with you. Abandon your shit GM at the curb.

You sound like the dumb faggot for thinking he's having fun wrong because you don't like his idea, which seems to be RP related instead of another min-maxer.

I am really not in the mood to be doing this. I cross my arms, scowling as I stare at the glowing red sign reading "In session". I've had a terrible week and I really can't stand sitting around waiting here, the only thing that makes it worse is that I keep losing my anger and end up falling into other emotions. Which just makes me even angrier when I eventually get mad again. First, of course, it's still been cold, really, really fucking cold, so I haven't been able to really outside for too long and slime 101 has been on hold since then, so I've had to spend most of my time in other classes or locked up inside. At least they turned up the heat so people like Kandence are comfortable and not freezing their asses off as they turn to monsticles.So yeah that alone is annoying, since I can't go outside for long at all without getting trapped in my own body like a block of ice.
Now that alone would be enough to annoy me, maybe even piss me off if I had a bad enough day or...you know, fell into it. But no, Dad hasn't been coming to school for most of the week for me to vent, since it turns out, Kara is starting to get fevers like I did before I turned, which...simply infuriates me, mostly because the first thought that got in my head was "Oh I can see and play with her again" and that makes it worse, because I don't want her to have to go through what I went and still am going through depending on the day. I know one reason I got used to being a slime so fast was having good friends, but mostly it was because Baba showed me why it happened and what I used to be...and because its hard to worry about that kind of stuff when you default to being at least some kind of happy, before moodswings have their say about how I'll feel.
It's just...I both want and don't want her to end up here with me. I sigh, frowning and sniffling as I wrap my arms back and lay back

MTG noob here. How do you make a deck? How do you organize the cards when picking out the desired ones? What kind of things should I keep in mind when adding in basic and special lands?
Kitchen casual general I guess .
>How do you make a deck?
Take sixty cards and put them together.
>How do you organize the cards when picking out the desired ones?
A binder with card-holding pages.
>What kind of things should I keep in mind when adding in basic and special lands?
You usually want the same colours as your spells.
I'm helpful.
>>44548708
>How do you organize the cards when picking out the desired ones?
Since I just made my first deck to play against friends I don't think I know much. But what I did was organize all the cards I had into 6 rows. Each row was one of the color sections in the game (Blue, Black, Green, White, Red, Colorless) and then put each of these into columns of the same type of card. So I have all the colors in rows and then have all the creatures in one column, instants in the next one, enchantments...

Uh. Most casual games sorta ignore this and are in the 65-80 range. Heck, once saw a dude with 150 in his deck because he was just shooting shit for fun.
The roof of the building you're perched on creaks as you shift your weight to keep a better eye on Nytora. Her new power is scary. You can't believe you got fire breath and the ability to chase bird sin their own element, and she still somehow got something cooler out of her evolution. Sighing, you suppress the bad feelings. You don't want to turn into a green lizard.
The ground groans a bit as you land on it. The woman Nytora saved, who was slowly crawling away, flinches and backs up faster when you land in front of her in the dark alley. Nytora inspects...
