Why do people say that Advanced Dungeons & Dragons first edition is the Satanic Bible, and that Gary Gygax was the anti-christ?
And furthermore, why is oldschool D&D more dangerous than drugs, heavy metal, and premarital sex?
Only a few people said D&D was satanic, and nobody called Gary the Antichrist. Oldschool D&D is not more dangerous than drugs, heavy metal, or premarital sex.
OP is a faggot, however. We'll need a study to determine if that's related to oldschool D&D.
It came out during a time in which these things weren't understood yet (because there weren't many) and people were more conservative and concerned about Christian values and shit.
Parents and other people who couldn't understand what D&D was supposed to be saw these books and how their kids were convening to do this strange ritual where they player around with these serious, scary (to them) concepts. They had demons, magic spells ("Swords... poison... spells... battles... maiming... killing!" ) and all kinds of things, combined with this...

You know, you’d honestly thought life could not get much worse than it was sitting on that dock with a knife to your throat, a void of emotion filling you from your love leaving you.

Next followed a vision of death, of thousands of bodies piled beneath a child, sitting on top playing with a corpse as if it were a toy baby. If you could feel sick you would’ve.
Finally, two identical shadows danced around you, one smiling in glee, the other crying with tears of sadness, you could feel the absolute despair from the crying shadow, the happiness from the other? Endless.
And then… light?
Your eyes cracked open, and snapped shut quickly. The room was so bright. Your nose...

I'm going to be honest, I am pulling for the Blade route
Zerg don't have access to anything that doesn't work in RL with two exceptions.
1) Queens and Overlords have human - level intelligence, wide - range telepathy, and very minor telekinesis - much less powerful then a gun. As a result, Overlords can't fly.
2) Zerg hyperadaptivity is still working, but without Vespen gase it takes not seconds, but weeks or several days in a cocoon.
Everything else is just... Not working. Growing a hatchery takes several weeks, Hydralisk have firepower of an LMG, Zerglings are vulnerable to AP rounds or concentrated fire...

Zerg are honestly the shittiest bioweapon horde of any scifi setting.
At the most, they've held maybe a dozen planets.
Pretty pathetic.
>>44472016
Considering StarCraft setting, that's not too bad. They were more or less just natives of the Sector who got bigger because humans came into the picture. If it weren't for the Xel'naga crap they'd be just that.
Buggy aliens.

Zerg running on basic instinct are at best a very adaptable and very dangerous alien creature that can certainly out compete and push out more mundane forms of wildlife, but against military grade weaponry they're nothing too special to write home about.
Feral left-over zerg populations were common enough that Terrans in the starcraft universe would have hunting competitions and would accidentally hit and kill zerglings with their cars every once in a while.
The other thing you need to remember though is that Zerg are only as dangerous as their environment: Zerg left in a fairly safe environment would themselves become weaker and less dangerous as time passes and would instead turn to making adaptation better suited for their environment and less so for killing.
Wild and Feral Zerg on numerous planets during the starcraft 2 campaign were demonstrated to be weaker, but expressed numerous and varied adaptations to ice, desert, jungle and lava worlds to better live in these conditions at the expense of perhaps deadlier attributes.
So, few weeks ago while underway my friend and I were playing a game of 40k. 2000 pts eldar vs Skitaari if I recall correctly, with him having an imperial knight allied in. Anyways, I've got a jetbike squad I'm bouncing in and out of LOS with the turbo boost rule, the problem is that the digital copy of the rules he had on his tablet and hard copy I had have differing rules for turbo boosting. I was wondering which was right, anyone know?
bump with /tg/ related pics
>>44471903
What were the differences?
>>44471903
Generally speaking, the version in the core rulebook overrides what's written in older codexes. Check the errata for specific details.
You sit down to start a new campaign and the DM goes :
>hey guys, it's a sandbox campaign. You start in a tavern. What do you do?
Someone askes : Why are we there?
>i don't know, why are you there?
Someone else askes : What's the world like?
>i don't know, what do you think the world is like?
What do you do?
>>44499562
by the way just in case it wasn't clear, this is about a campaign in a traditional game system. the kind that is related to /tg/.
Ask the DM if they actually put together a setting or if they're just winging this shit.

Are you posting about Dungeon World, OP?

what would you think about someone playing a character who wields a katana but isn't a trenchcoat wearing edgelord but just an amicable guy all around?
Ted, we're playing a bronze-age campaign in Shang Dynasty China.
The katana hasn't been invented yet.
fuck off

Why would you want to combine a trenchcoat with a katana? If anything he should wear traditional Japanese clothing

Considering that you were shot last night – or, perhaps, in the early hours of this morning – you're feeling pretty good. True, one of your arms is bound so tightly with bandages that you're not sure if you could use it, even if you were forced to, but you're alive.

It's a bright morning – or, considering how long you slept, early afternoon – and the world is starting to show signs of new life. It's warmer here than it has ever been, with the snow clinging on for dear life and the sky growing lighter. Still the dead of Winter compared with the perpetual warmth found within the fairy kingdom, of course, but perhaps that is to be expected. The cold, either way, does not seem to bother Cernunnos in the slightest – even taking his continued defiance of pants...

Which one ?

Presumably you mean Dr. Clef's proposal?
It's your average D&D god so it just has the divine ability of Supreme Initiative and an attack radius as wide as the plane it's on. Any other stats are irrelevant.

Dragon and/or Unicorn. Monkey if we're talking Minor Clans.

All three for probably the same reasons; they just don't give a fuck.
Dragon are more traditional, but Mirumoto are pretty straightforward and without some of the hangups other Bushi families have
Unicorn because Shinjo is probably the second-nicest family in the Empire.
The Monkey because Fortune Favors the Mortal Man, and...

I hope Gaddock Teeg doesn't keep his price, I want two more for my G/W Hatebears sideboard
He was in the SB of the Hatebears deck that top 4'd GP Pittsburgh as a one-of. Bogles has been putting up a lot of results but ffs, it's not like he sees play in Legacy thanks to Maverick being dead
Also, how does /tg/ determine sideboard slots? In decks with draw and manipulation one and two-ofs are fine, but in G/W Hatebears, main and side, everything is a 3 or 4 of because I have no draw power....

Nah.

Everyone except goblins use gold. Goblins use "lings", which are strips of fabric taken from fancy undergarments. As silk and lace and soft materials are rare and precious to them, the goblins have been going into human, elven, and dwarven kingdoms on wild panty raids to obtain as much of the stuff as possible. Since these fabrics deteriorate over time, they have to embark on more panty raids every so often so their economy doesn't deflate or inflate too much. Adventurers beware in goblin territory...
