How about a hand for everyone's favorite giant, tentacled, abyss-dwelling monstrosities. Anybody else on the Pumpkin Witch incarnation train?

So what would I need to do to build around something like Magic's Indestructible mechanic, if at all possible?
Alternatively, should I go Wind, Water, or a combination of both to create a Hydra style deck with lots of ramp?
>>44449711
Nothing with Indestructible printed yet I don't think. What is a Hydra deck?
>>44449711
Wind/Light RefRef Arthur ramp might be up your alley.

What's the worst sin out of the following two options:
>Including a technologically inferior weapon as a viable option in a higher tech setting. For example, having viable swords in a sci-fi setting.
>Including a technologically superior weapon as a viable option in a lower tech setting.For example, having sophisticated firearms in a medieval setting.
>>44451614
The first one
Swords aren't even used now, under what perceivable circumstance would they be used in a setting where technology has advanced tens or hundreds of times what we have available currently?
>>44451614
The latter. I feel like it's easier to make low tech weapons fit into a high tech setting comfortably than the reverse.

"You know, he's probably thinking about destroying the world, right now!"
Your group rides along the road to Gallete. Slowly the castle starts to shrink in the distance as you feel great sincerity that you're finally leaving that hellhole.
"And, you know, he's probably thinking of ways right now to destroy everything. Like maybe a plague, or locusts, or-"
"Girl, Do you want to go back to Gallete?"
"No."
"Then, please. One problem at a time."

Hey /tg/, I'd love any tips on how to roleplay as a Warrior-Poet kind of character. Thanks.
Be a rapper.
>>44451423
Read a lot of poetry.
Spout it at apporiate moments.
>>44451423
Write down events that happen in a journal. You're going to be making a saga about this if all goes well, you want to remember how it went.
Quote the Edda or saga of your choice when appropriate. Or when it's not.
I'm interested in running a supers game (with a near-future and mildly alt-history setting, if it matters) at some point, probably when the one I'm in right now ends. What are some available systems for that?
I've heard of pic related, but not much about its content except for that it borrows a lot from D&D 3.5. GURPS is another option, especially with the flexibility of designing your own powers, but apparently that type of GURPS game is a way-too-difficult bundle of chaos if you haven't GM'd before.

M&M.
>>44441018
This.
If you don't mind playing something rules light, you could also go the FATE route.
>>44441018
>>44441045
Well then. Looking at the M&M quickstart, this is promising, and currently my first choice! Just wanted /tg/'s opinion on if there's anything else to try.
Hey /tg/, I have a problem I'm hoping you could help with.
I'm making a rules-light Star Wars RPG (in this case, meaning just using a couple of d6 and a basic few stats/skills per character) for my friends and I to just fuck around with on the weekends, and I have just about everything set that I wanted to, except for one hang-up.
Force Sensitivity and Force Powers.
I want the GM to have a system that allows him/her to secretly determine randomly whether or not a character is Force Sensitive, and how closely attuned to the Force he/she is.
Secondly,...

For starters, perhaps it could involve a roll for 'Force Potential', if you will. And a character's Force Potential determines how difficult or easy it is for them to learn the ways of the Force.
Example w/ something like a D6 system: Han Solo has a Force Potential of 16 on the d66. Rolling under that to use or learn a Force power is grossly inefficient, and means he's better of as a smuggler. Rey has a Force Potential of 66, the highest value. As a result, she has absurd strength in the Force.
>>44451260
As for Force powers, they ought to be broad to allow for a wide variety of creative uses. For example, instead of having Push, Pull, and Thrust, you could have the broader 'Move'. And as you level it up, it grows from having a saber fly to your hand to lifting an X-wing out of a swamp.

This sounds very close along the lines I was thinking.
What if I used a d100, and we have certain known characters mapped out on the d100 chart.
Example being Anakin being in the high 90s, Luke in the 70s, etc.?

I drink it. What happens.
why /tg/? I got the look I've given "That guy" from my group when I pitched this game. Every thing about it is great but putting that much spotlight on player to player sex is just uncomfortable. it's not like we've shyed away from the topic before. We generally play games with R rated material like Shadowrun or Delta Green but this just feels like some one put the Book of Erotic Fantasy in the core mechanics. No one was "offended" it just made me look like I was trying to create a magical realm. I feel it's prudish to dismiss the mechanic but that leaves one female player and four dudes and unless two play gay that's a pretty awkward environment.
>>44449303
Its mechanics for emotionally entangled circumstances in a game made for interplayer drama. You don't have to use them if people are more interested in shooting things though.
Were there specific complaints or just talking about sex getting awkward?
>>44449303
Firstly, nothing dictates your players MUST play the same gender that they hold. One or more of your dudes could have female characters.
Second, nothing dictates that your players must play the same orientation as they are, so two of them could just "play gay".
Thirdly, the sex moves do not, by default, require that the sex be with a PLAYER character. Many have no effect against NPCs, but you could change that with some basic homebrew. The moves care if you have sex with a CHARACTER.
Fourthly, and getting to the actual meat of your question: Because it's a chosen theme by the game designer to explore in this world. Apocalypse World is a post-apocalyptic wasteland, where everyone is fighting to survive. Where there are plenty of scarred, hardened, guarded characters. Sex indicates a waste of time and potentially resources, and exposure of one's self to another. It's showing a level of intimacy and trust with another character, and therefore there are notable repercussions to the act.
Personally, I think it's more thematically appropriate in Monsterhearts, where the idea is that, as hormonal CW teenage monsters, sex is an important milestone in their development, and has a power in the culture.
If you want to change it, make it purely a matter of intimacy/emotional connection, above and beyond the physical. If the Gunlugger confesses to the Angel that they used to be afraid of guns, because (CHILDHOOD TRAUMA), and so that's why they use them now, and the Angel reciprocates, explaining that they're secretly happy that the world's fucked up, because they feel special when they help people, and now everyone needs their help, Boom, both trigger their move.
>Were there specific complaints or just talking about sex getting awkward?
at first the battle babe rose some eyelids not because sexism (James Bond is technically a battle babe depending on the movie) but because of the tonal whiplash how are you supposed to get a Walking Dead or The Road vibe when you have naked amazon chick with a sledge hammer. this was just exacerbated by the sex moves.
but like I said interpersonal drama isn't something we're new to we've had sessions that had maybe like 30 min of combat and the...

hi fairly new to MtG here
>have actual shit tier cards
would buying a booster box be worth it?
i know the leaks have shown some cards to be amazing, like Eye of Ugin and Crumbling Vestige
so any help would be appreciated
buying booster boxes is a shitty way to expand your collection.
instead you should draft so that you get better at the game at the same time and you have some amount of control over what cards you get.
>>44451096
Is this the new meme?
Seriously everyone says just buy singles.
Have you ever opened a box? It's fucking fun. If someone wants to drop 100 bucks and get a playsets of ever common, almost every uncommon, most rares and some mythics and foils. Let them.
If they want to tear the packs open, cool. If they wanna draft it or play sealed. Great.
Nobody gives a fuck about just buying singles like a boring spike faggot net decker.
Press button, get 4 Gideons for 100 bucks in the mail in a week....

If you wanna buy a box, go for it anon.
It's even better if you have a friend or someone to do it with it play/trade with while doing it.
Don't just buy some overcosted crap from scg. It's boring as fuck.
>hyper-fertile necromancer
Somehow I don't think this is what the SJWs had in mind when they began demanding that every trope be subverted.
Can you guys think of other fantasy tropes that might furl their scrolls if inverted?

any anyone would listen to this human garbage because?..
get out and take your shitty thread with you, faggot

Bro wizard fraternities? I dunno man, this doesn't seem like a topic with a great deal concepts new and unique enough to talk about.

Take any character, make them female but don't make them a hideous lesbian.
How does this Open Game License thing work? What exactly is the license offering? I know Pathfinder is mechanically identical to 3.5 but I thought that you couldn't copyright game mechanics?
I mean what's to stop me from making a d20 game called labyrinths & leprechauns based on based on fifth eddition Dungeons & Dragons? As long as I don't copy anything outright word for word I should be all right to have classes, levels experiences and feats right?
The d20 license meanse you can copy and paste everything, including (and this is the key) exact wordings, provided you include in the book the copy of the license.
Mechanics are not copyrightable, but the wording is.
>>44449900
Right, thought so. So how come the how come retro clones didn't really become a thing until the open gaming license? Was it simply there was no niche to fill that ADN D hadn't covered already
>>44450189
Might be that having Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, etc. together was some kind of copyright violation? Or maybe specific terms like "attack roll" and "armor class" were trademarked?
I think it was a gray area but the OGL made it definitely OK all of a sudden.

Abaddon is more competent than Imperium and that's saying something why would you want to play muhreens or Imperial Meatshield?

Without the Imperial Creed, Mankind would've fallen to Chaos a long, long time ago, too many people forget this fact. Logic and reasoning doesn't get you anywhere as a Human in the Long War for the Materium, because in the end your goals are emotion-based, Chaos is pulling at your very moral core, it is the makeup of everything you strive for.
The Imperium seems horrifically incompetent at first glance, and it does make genuine mistakes a lot, but most of what it does at its core was designed with...

So I've been playing Chaos for a little while now, and I have a tournament coming up on Saturday. Problem is, I'm either a horrible player or a horrible list builder. I use both Marines and Daemons. Any advice for a competitive list? I'll post a list of everything I have
Chaos space marines got fucked over and need a new codex
Daemons are using an outdated codex and also need a new one
If you're playing chaos you're going to get fucked but anything that isn't orks or sisters
