Previously, our protagonist returned to Dragonfell, the city of her birth, and met with the Raven Queen and her small band of rebels against the iron rule of Sir Annandale. The Raven Queens generals turned out to be none other than old friends Esmeralda, cousin to the late heir to the throne, and Sir Roland, a once proud paladin who has taken a vow of silence to atone for his failure to stop Annandale's plans. After some discussion, our protagonist agreed to set out north, and ask for help from another skilled warrior, Russel of the wolfpack. Unfortunately, after a short...

Russel notices your tone and sighs. Without a word, he picks up the pace. With the two of you moving at a good clip, your travel time is cut impressively.
A few hours go by, and you rest occasionally, but the forest seems deathly quiet. Russel mentions that his pack was instructed not to travel far from their hiding place until he returned in person, and so the odds of running into them anytime soon are low. When you ask about the hiding place,...

You are a Daemon prince. A former champion of chaos and one of its most deadliest assets, you were cast out of the warp for unknown reasons and are going head first on a collision course to an imperial planet at war with various other forces.
However, you are not alone, as other Daemon princes have been cast out and are heading for the same planet as you are.
Your mission for now is to survive. More details will come about as the game progresses.

Also, I will NOT be allowing you to summon things from outside of the 40K lore. No exceptions.

Wait, there is nothing in the fluff that says a daemon can be destroyed if its denied by the warp. Hell I dont think thats possible.

well combat wise a really good magic item for monk would be the bracers of armor to get his AC a solid boost. Outside of combat there are a lot of utility magic items, any number of which could be nice. My personal favorite utility magic item would be the alchemist jug.
What are some good race and class variations that have improved the quality of your games?
>>44543859
Any feature is fine once per day if it's strong enough, but I think Hurl Through Hell is the only long rest 14 feature actually published.

And you are proficient with it, I hope?

I'm looking to branch out from my current games, and get more invested in tabletops. I'm not completely inept when it comes to /tg/ games, but I only have a few games of experience, and still have a lot to learn so expect inexperience. I'm down for anything, am not the type to just drop out of game, and can usually get along with anyone.

This is a thread created for the discussion of Quest threads, as well as sharing of advice and guidance for aspiring or current QM's. Posters looking for advice on tabletop games should look elsewhere. Also, don't shitpost.

This is a directory containing the tweets of most current QM's. While a twitter is by no means mandatory, it is a useful tool for both you and your players. If you are a QM, simply post your Twitter here to have it added to the directory. Spamming your quest twitter with non-quest related tweets may result in its removal from the directory.

>QM question
What genres do you think just don't work in a quest format, if any?
>Player question
In a new quest, on what do you like having control? Setting, personality/appearance of the MC?His or her name?
>>44540495
>What genres do you think just don't work in a quest format, if any?
Mystery, slice of life, strategic planning, anything without a lot of action. Also, stuff with a lot of die-rolling. For evidence I point to Joker Quest, where the final battle has stretched for MONTHS.
>>44540495
>What genres do you think just don't work in a quest format, if any?
None. Some are harder to do, but if you're determined you can make a fun quest within any genre you like.
If done right, would a Shonen quest work?
Why do people minimax?
Do you find enjoyment in it? Is it a compulsion? Do you ever even recognize when you're doing it? Above all, do you care if you do?
>>44538468
What's minimax?
>>44538468
I don't enjoy wasting time and effort on shit I don't need.
If you were interested in getting bigger biceps, triceps, shoulders, and pecs, would you go jogging and reading about history? If you needed to go to the store to make the most delicious sandwich ever, would you stop by the car dealership first?
Wasted stats are wasted potential. It's the same reason racers rip out the upholstery and seats in their cars to lower weight.
>>44538468
Why don't people min/max? Do they just not care? Are they just not trying?
Some people enter marathons for no reason or just to say they did it. That's kind of stupid compared to people who enter marathons to beat a personal record, to come in first, or to improve themselves.
We thank you for dispatching that group of bandits. In return here are ten of our finest Llamas in payment.

A few more nuggets of info from the WD:
- Fyreslayers are born from the fight between Grimnir and Vulcatrix.
- Fyreslayers believe that in Ur-Gold resides the essence of Grimnir, their shattered God.
- Ur-Gold is magical. There is a funny rule when you play a Runemaster where your opponent chooses one of his units as carrying some gold, and thanks to it said unit can reroll all 1 to wound. But better not let the Runemaster get close enough and realize you are carrying the gold or the Fyreslayers will go all chop chop on you.
- When they insert Ur-Gold runes in...

What a tease
We're now genies. Make a wish and an anon will find a way to fuck your wish up, then that anon makes a wish, and so on.

Senpai notices your internet history. He thinks you're totally unkawaii and lewd.

Terrible DM Thread:

Why do DMs do this? Why is their head so far up their ass? Did they forget that story-telling needs to be tweaked when there's other people contributing?
>>44529279
A lot of DM's are terrible at improving when players want to do something they haven't planned for.
Do you often play as archetypes that are completely different in game that what you are in reality?
For example, IRL I am fairly well built from being shit like a Mover, Lumberjack, Construction worker, etc... and I find for some reason the majority of characters I make in game tend to be lithe athletic or nimble characters, which is often pretty much the exact opposite of me most of the time.
Anyone else do this?
I play interesting characters while, IRL, I am boring
I like playing girly girls.
I'm not very girly.
>>44526027
Are you even a girl? I think you get bonus points if you're not even a girl.
Today, I bring to you a tale most vile. Most disturbing. Most uncomfortable. I bring you the tale of the self-mutilating Drow/Tiefling bard, played by the we-think-transvestite player.
Firstly, time frames: this occurred back in the semi-early days of 4e, the online builder was only just released. Same group as my last story about That Guy Jack, minus Jack of course.
The new entry in the group went by "her" online handle, Pale. I put "her" in quotes because she said she was fully female but had a little too much of the male hormones. No judgement there, but they were *utterly obsessed with drag queens*, and always "dressed up" as a "woman pretending to be a drag queen."
She also "had an issue taking roleplaying seriously", which is why she played a bard whose 'performance' was cutting off her own skin...

No "real" subject today. But we've now got a booru to share images on, since the old Gangrel Minus went down. So today's topic is bringing attention to that and getting people to upload things to it, since I can't do it by myself (especially since most of my images are from gelbooru).
http://urbfan.booru.org/
Be sure to tag things as best you can, tagging helps people searching. The idea is to have a repository of character art, but any sort of inspirational image is good, so backgrounds and monsters help as well.

I'll tell you what, I'm really digging The Chronic's Investigation rules. My players really like a mystery, but I've not been very good at making them fun to solve, stumping them because I had a very rigid idea of the mystery.
The system works much better, since it says "look you want them to find the clues, because otherwise there is no story, so give them stakes for good investigating other than "you don't find out"."
I'm gonna try and incorporate it into a Mage Chronicle I'm writing, using a stop gap rule set until...

>The Chronic
I giggled.
Isn't there already a 2e Genius update? Or did the guy not do that because he hates nWoD as is, and taking it further from oWoD kills him?
Also, surprisingly enough, Bloodlines has kind of given me ideas for running a mystery. All of the important things require a Computers or Inspection or Lockpicking Feat of like 3 or 4, while anything that's sequence breaking or requires 8 to 10.
This seems interesting. Is it basically Eldritch detectiving?
