What are you looking forward to in 2016, /tg/?
Graduating college, getting a decent job, moving to Washington, and smoking a lot of weed.
And being part of several groups each week the whole while.
Nothing, I have all I always dreamed about and everything is meaningless. I'm completely dead inside by now.

Another year of life.
The alternative is no alternative.
Does anyone else here prefer playing agents of the authorities instead of ragtag misfits and rebels?
I just really enjoy trained specialists, soldiers of armies or task forces, members of large organizations, servants of empires, government/corporate agents etc. The usual underdog heroes bore me to tears.

My dream campaign is merciless Technocracy game of Mage.
Fuck reality deviants, fuck superstition, fuck special snowflakes.

You're right. We live in a world where authority and power are in control. it is only right that ALL forms of entertainment support this mindset. otherwise the rabble might begin to have untoward ideals and purging is expensive.
>>44466561
I like both, but I prefer engineering it to be underdoggish either way. Your villains, be they the Man or a bunch of dirty terrorists need to have you by the balls to create tension. Even when playing as the law, I like to feel like there's a struggle and a challenge.
You are a GM. Your players want you to design a Final Fantasy-like world, with all the correct tropes and cliches. What do you include?
>>44464214
everything is belts
>>44464214
Depends, which Final Fantasy? Each one is an entirely different world and setting. Crystal based magic seems to play into it in part, but it's not necessary and takes many different forms, from tiny magic beads made out of the world's soul to giant crystals that stop the poisonous air from killing everyone you love and forcing you to recharge them via giant crystal trees that only grow where there's shitloads of monsters.

I just run Anima, that is fairly literally what it's for. Even already has a JRPG style setting I can pull apart for ideas.
Ever rage quit or made a player rage quit? Any game is fine.
I was running a game and every time I introduced an NPC of some evil importance, one of my players would always say "I shoot him while he's talking" or something to that effect. It didn't always work out but he was always smugly pleased with himself afterwards. So the last time he tried this, I said that when he attacked the NPC he was only attacking an illusion. I don't know why this was such a big deal, but he exploded at the whole group saying I was a railroader and stormed out of the room.
Wasn't me, but a friend who plays skaven was challenged to a 5000pts warhammer fantasy game by a local that guy, who plays orcs. After near and hour and half of deployment, my friend spent his entire turn firing his entire army at 20 black orcs and grimgor, finally finishing them with the dreaded thirteenth spell, removing then unit.
The orc player than packed up the rest of his 4500pt army and left, whilst swearing loudly and throwing accusing glares at my friend.
Pretty sure one of the Weeaboo players at my store rage quit some anime card game.
Dude was drinking the entire time (back room, its pretty common knowledge that you can drink back there) and was full on NoFunAllowed.jpg mode. He was constantly badgering his opponent and goading him to play faster. Eventually he shouts to his opponent "Just play your fucking cards, you know you won!!" and the other guy was pretty uneasy through the rest of his turn.
I never saw that guy again, since we only play back there when the front of the store is full. I'd...

I would do it in RPGs back in my early twenties. I had a lot of emotional issues. Still do, but I'm aware of it now and take proper medication. I enjoy gaming much more having (belatedly) developed some maturity and taken measures to improve my mental health.

Do you join in New Year festivities where you are, Jumper? (Assuming the world you're in has them). If so, anything special you like to do?
>>44481894
To add to what I already said here:
>>44482205
Quest for Glory is very much not about balanced parties; it's about the fact that there are multiple ways to fulfill your goals, depending on whether you are a Mage OR Thief OR Fighter.
So, besides what I already said, having the Mage prefer to go with the Mage is actually very in-genre for the setting. There aren't really adventuring parties...

“Essex, put those torpedoes to your stern!” you command.
“Y-YOU CHAUVINIST-”
“Turn away from them and run from them,” you clarify quickly.
“What!?” Essex breathes as her impressive secondary and teitary batteries saturate the sky and sea with high-explosives. A 5-inch shell lands just short of an zigzagging boat and detonates under the keel, lifting the bow out of the waves and dropping it again with awful force. The shiny black carapace is fractured and crumpled, but it turns away and makes decent speed in retreat; saved by its flexible...

“Behold the [ENGINE SCREAM] of the BANSHEE!” Essex declares grandly. Kaga's palm claps to her face with an audible impact as the sword hurtles off the bow, the violent vibration of the thin braided steel bowstring visible even on the shaky Global Hawk feed. The sword dissolves in a streak of flame that parts in twain, the dark shapes of wickedly forward-swept wings resolving into tangible aircraft at the head of each flaming dart. The F-2 Banshees bank hard, wide wings digging into the air as pull hard to put their noses on the incoming PT boats. Another two have already...

“Yes! I'm fine, though!”
“No,” you mutter. “No you're not.” The weapon probably blew clean through her bow from left to right - a luckily weak hit, structurally - but now water's pouring straight into her at thirty-plus knots from both sides. The abyssals are already splitting up into two groups, angling to each side to execute a proper hammer-and-anvil attack. They have to chase Essex down to deliver it, but she's already slackening speed lest the incoming water batter down her internal bulkheads - there's no hope of waiting for the...
