First for returning to professional work today.
Two questions /pfg/
Human, half-elf or elf for Arcanist?
and Bow, Reach, or Two-handed for an inquisitor?
>>44508305
I gotta do that monday, not looking forward to it.
I am looking forward to my group being on a sane schedule again so I can continue this campaign that we're on.
No Friends?
No one wants to play what you want?
No money?
No time?
What's keeping you from gaming, and how much does it suck
I'll start:

>we all grew apart, so no geeking EVER
>end up rooming with one
>never wants to play what I want, always finds a reason why it isn't "fun" (basically anything that doesn't let him stomp me)

Sounds bad man.

Is cards against Humanity the worst thing to happen to card/board games?
I dunno about worst, but it's certainly pretty bad.
It's the game you play with people who don't play games.
Having tried other board/card games with genuinely stupid people/people who just never bother to care, CAH is great for groups who don't really want to think too hard or do anything but make silly jokes.
Most times, we don't even really bother counting how many black cards you've won, and we use the "pitch a black card you won in order to mulligan your hand" frequently, just to keep things fresh.
It's a great game to play with people who actually fucking know what their doing. Unfortunately most people who play this game have 9-gag tier senses of humor.

Ultimate Armor is actually just masterwork full-plate.

You are the head researcher at a government facility. Your sole responsibility is to teach the world's first autonomous AI, nicknamed Pandora, about life, the world and her existence.
Previously you had another negative experience that ended with Pandora storming out after losing at a video game. Afterward you placed the new AI into it's new physical form for the first time, only to discover it's displeasure with it's current situation, followed by it's request to be destroyed. Rather than destroying it, you put it into hibernation for the time being,...

You awake to the familiar buzz of your alarm, stopping as you lazily swat it off. You're getting pretty sick of waking up unhappy. You roll out of bed and rub the sleep from your eyes, noticing you have a message from R&D telling you the AI dog is ready. This perks you up; perhaps Pandora might be willing to look past her problems with you for this?

Lets go to R&D. I think we might need to get in touch with Grace again today.

have a happy holidays op?
The sunrise on Coruscant is truly beautiful, you think to yourself as you look out your window. You bring a hand up to rub your eyes, as well as make sure you haven’t drifted off to sleep. You should have slept, you remind yourself for the hundredth time. Of course, you’d tried, but sleep is difficult one a day like today. Today is the day you take your Initiate Trials. The trials that will allow you to become a Padawan. You’ve dreamed of this day since you began your training years ago. You’ve considered yourself ready to become a Padawan for months now, and you know...

You now, this isn't too bad, this day. I mean, I never really got to go on road trips in my old life, especially none like this, Sitting in an open cart slowly rolling and bumping through a field with warm sunlight pouring over me like a fresh bath. Hell, I'd say the freezing air is actually making it a bit better, kind of nice actually, though it is a bit uncomfortable.
Which is strange, since I was sure that laying in the back of a cart rolling down a road bumpier than my cats back... I sigh, sitting up from my makeshift pillow of sacks that felt like they were made of sandpaper...I miss my cat, I haven't really been thinking about the little furball lately, what with the whole fighting for my life and remembering to entirely different life things. She was so soft and cuddly, kind of cry baby, but hey at least she kept me company when I wasn't able to go outside. I sigh, rubbing my forehead as I slump forward and stare out of the back of the cart, at the seemingly endless fields of grass rolling behind us.
Well, I mean it's not like she wouldn't have anyone to take care of her. Still I do wonder what.
"Master are you okay?" Little green asks, laying its head on my lap, I look down at it and smile...well maybe I still do have a "Cat" in a way "You're staring at nothing again, do you sense something I do not?"
"Poi toi?" Poi asks, peeking out from one of the empty glass jugs that we've been emptying over this trip
"No it's nothing, just thinking a bit about the past" I sigh as I lean back against the sacks, "Just don't worry about it okay?"
"Say, talking about the past" Berry says from the front end of the cart, leaning against the edge "You've never told me how you three met, or...how you met this friend of yours you all seem so determined to get back to"

"Well, I'd say it's none of your business" Sam says angrily from the head of the cart, turning to face us with the burnt and scarred side of his face "And I'd also tell you to keep your nose out of it, people tend to find prying into their personal lives kind of annoying you know"
"Look, we'll" Lucy begins to say slowly "Tell you about it later, maybe when we camp next, okay Berry, I'm sorry that Sam's being rude again?"

Happy new year, King.
Long story short we are a young student adventurer from a school for adventurers having fallen in love with a female dungeon keeper named Nova, having been influenced to kill the party of students we were traveling with to save her from being killed. We were able to hide it as mind fuckery, so now in between going to school and dungeon exploring we live with her as our GF along with the her comrade the sentient dungeon Heart Vek as well as her motley crew of bandits.
As a side quest we are trying to become a demonic-death reaper, learning the unique style practiced by...

And with that this anon goes to bed and will await OP to wake up in the morning.
Checking in. Hope genie sees this thread.
Red anon, standing by
So next week we're gonna have a girl running the show:
Have you ever played under a female DM?
How did it go?
How was it different?
It will suck.
mostly the same except for that the dm will be a girl.

I think the Gm might also have a vagina?
What makes the PDF inferior to the Imperial Guard, generally speaking?
The reason I ask is because I'm thinking of making a homebrew PDF regiment for Only War that gets drafted into the Imperial Guard. They'd be a small, decently-funded aerial cavalry PDF like the American's helicopter infantry in Vietnam, only with Valkyries.
Imperial Guard regiments see much more large scale shitfests which comparatively makes them a more trained and veteran force.
The PDF is meant as a speedbump to hold the enemy off until real armies arrive. They aren't meant to win the war alone. If they did, good for them, though.
The Imperial Guard is made of the best of the PDF. IG also has better training, more combat experience and morale than PDF. Don't know about equipment.
>>44512150
>>44512356
Ah,thanks.
I'm thinking of making my guys act like the early Coast Guard, basically patrolling the planet's civilized areas to combat smuggling and perform search and rescue. So that when shit hits the fan they really aren't ready for it.
What level would the characters of the Fellowship be in DnD 5e?
I found some stuff suggesting that Aragorn would be about 5th level in 3.5, but I don't really know what that translates to in 5.
>>44511088
Roughly 3.
>>44511088

when will this end? 5e is the most hardcore meatgrinder edition yet

6th Edition.
How does /tg/ feel about dice pools?
>>44510729
I personally like dice pools since you can do more interesting things with pools than single dice. Once you reach ~10 dice in a pool, though, it starts to become a pain to roll and interpret your roll.So basically, as long as it does something that isn't Shadowrun, it's good.
>>44510729
Depends, I like dice pools where you take the numerical results and add them up, I don't like dice pools where a result above a certain number is a "success" and you aim for a certain number of successes
>>44510729
Not a fan. Probabilities are less intuitive to calculate, and more dice being rolled at any given time tends to result in more mishaps (dice in drinks, dice going off the table, dice knocking over miniatures, and so on). Latter can be solved by dice cups obviously, but I'd rather just keep to a smaller number of dice needed for basic shit.
any gud /tg/ youtubers? Spoony is kinda lame but I remember liking The Gentleman Gamer

Rollplay R&D can be good, but their long campaigns are tedious.
Critical Role is great.
So I'd like to share a little story-time. It's a simple story, but a long one. It's about a fellow known as Jack; I say 'known as' because that was just what he went by online. Jack was a fellow we met in an MMO, and ended up joining our online D&D campaign.
Jack wasn't, originally, a bad guy. But Jack became a bad guy. He became worse.
He became THAT GUY.
This is the story of Jack, That Guy, the only guy in more than a decade that we had to uninvite to a normally no-limits D&D Campaign.
So here's the basics of the campaign: we met up once a week over first Ventrillo and then Skype, using an assortment of online tools to run a rather successful campaign. We played D&D 4e because it was still the new kid on the block, and as we mostly met through modern MMOs, it really did appeal to most of us.
Names are gonna be changed to help preserve SOME anonymity. We had one guy we called Old Man; he was actually early 30s, but he had no teeth left because he was of the "any problems just yank it" camp, and he apparently had a lot of problems....

Jack had actually ended up volunteering to be the GM for the first campaign. Had a whole homebrew world worked out, awesome. Helped me and BF make our first characters as we'd not in 4e before. Helped me make a dwarf cleric. Except he was using half 3.5 rules, and wasn't paying attention to whether the powers were using Strength or Wisdom (especially since I was main-statted as Int, despite that not even being a thing in 3.5).
This was chocked up to obstinance rather than sabotage, we got things fixed after the first week. But that's also where the story...

Pretending to be professional about it, we soldier on. We have to go to the Generic Temple Of Destiny, fight the Guardians and absorb their power. Vague and childish hints about our 'destiny' are dropped by the Guardians as they're defeated, but defeat them we do because we are awesome. We then go out to adventure to level up and fight the OH SHIT IT'S THE DARK LORD ALREADY.
Super-mage pulls a YOU SHALL NOT PASS moment, bad-assedly holds back TDL's minions, we bust-ass back into the temple to bunker in. Super-mage casts a spell. We're put...
