I have a player. He's a good friend. Not a bad role player either.
He has a consistent issue across his characters where he flees headlong away from adventure.
As an acolyte in dark heresy he refuses to do the mission and lies to a commissar with the expected results.
In pathfinder he was given a "ticket" to access a fabled city of legend in a very self aware adventure. He tries to sell it to the surrounding nobles and had to be dragged bodily
It's like he makes every attempt to run away from the plot. Even after I've...

>Okay. You sell thicker and live a normal life. If you want to participate in the adventure please use one of my premade characters since I know you would do something like this.
>I have plenty more if you run in the opposite direction of the plot as usual.

This is why Fate has compels and Trail of Cthulhu has Drives. Play better systems.

>OK. You sell the ticket and life a normal life. You are now playing the noble. Here's your character sheet.
Is there a good rules-lite system for running a Silent Hill game? I'm just crazy and depressed enough to run a good Silent Hill game. If any of you guys remember me from a long time ago, I ran Suicide Quest.

Pros and cons of this?

GURPS.
How do I intentionally lose a game of Magic the Gathering while looking like I am trying to play seriously? It seems that I either play badly, but not badly enough to lose to this person or play in a way that is far too obvious to the person. Assume that the decks are evenly matched.Trying to build another players confidence so they don't feel like they lose every single game.

Build a cheap janky shitty yet challenging threat of a deck.
I recommend haunting misery, it can win turn one but anyone with skill can actually beat it and it's a good trainer for a vintage-legacy speed decks.
Don't cast all your spells.
Really, that's it. Your opponent can't see what's in your hand, and all you have to do is play while holding onto some reserves. New players are pretty bad at counting cards in hand, and even if you end up with a big hand, there's a number of excuses you can use, like too high CMC, your cards are too situational, you're holding onto reserves, or you're missing a vital color.
>>48049959
Find some bulk rares/uncommons with synergy and build a durdly synergism deck. for example I built a deck with Secrets of the Dead/Burning Vengeance that looped Mystic Retrieval and Runic Repetition, took advantage of Gravecrawler and Infernal Plunge as a mana generating engine, and used Zombie Infestation to get the engine started with only one Gravecrawler and doubled as a wincon with more than one Secrets out and even let me cast my Mystic's at a discount with flashback. It's a sweet deck that's...

What's your most memorable campaign/character, /tg/?
Mine is simple, but it the campaign was one of the most fun I had.
World: Human only (fantasy monsters exist), magic potential is only for those who were born with it (Sorcerers) or if they make pacts with Outsiders (Warlocks). Clerics were house-ruled to be renamed Warlocks (but could access normal Cleric spells), so no armour, no maces, they were more like priests (only cloth and staff). Mages suffer a lot of discrimination and are either forced to hide their powers, so a lot never learn to properly control...

The knight was a standard Fighter, by the way.
>First session, we all meet in a road-side inn, and clear a kobold cave who worship some dragon god and are raiding nearly lands
>They have gathered tribute for when he returns, but we slaughter them, take the valuables and return to get out rewards
After this, we pretty much kept traveling to everywhere trouble seemed to be brewing.

Well, turns out it wasn't dead, and it wanted revenge.
As we made our way up to the mountain, slaughtering countless kobolds and other cultists, we eventually found entrances to the mountain's hollow insides, however, it was overflowing with the molten rock, thus impossible to enter.
We then tried to climb outside the mountain.
Didn't work, so we had started bickering over what to do.
While we were busy conversing, the dragon suddenly roared.
Like a mountain-shaking roar.
After me and the Cleric casted Haste on the party, we ran as fast...

Why is the emporer so powerful if he is made up of only a few hundred shaman souls?
Thousands of Psychers are sacrificed everyday to the Golden throne alone.
Also why is he so retarded? Read the last church and he actualy thinks like a child.
Bad writing or intentional?
>Bad writing
In 40k? Surely, that can't be the case.
>>48049479
Shaman were super powerful and also super stable psykers. The only thing they worried about was their souls getting nommed by daemons.
>>48049479
>Bad writing or intentional?
Both.
If I were to write a relatively fleshed out campaign setting, could I potentially sell it? Would anyone buy it? What all would it need to have for anyone to give a shit?
Or is it one of those "if you build it, they will come" type of things?
>>48049476
Write the base setting out and set it as "Pay What You Like"
Then charge for expanded content. But don't make it unreasonable or no one will buy anything.
Think of it like DLC.
What systemare you writing for anyway?
It's hard to make a buck as a fantasy writer aye?
I think coming alongside with a robust ruleset is always the best way to sell a setting; and/or having a lot of prepackaged resources already figured out, like town/dungeon layouts and stats for important persons and quest hooks.
Getting some hype for the setting through something like a series of fantasy novels or webcomics set in the universe is a good start.
Can your current character pull off high heels?
>>48048617
He was an Estalian diestro, boots with pronounced heels were fashionable.

His legs are beautiful

/Lit/ are pretentious fags than hate fun, so /tg/ best books for getting ideas for your games?
I will post some of the ones than I liked.
Conan the Barbarian, cool setting, one of the origian fantasy murderhobos and very fun to read about.
Farfhard and the Grey mouser: Barbarian and thief/swordsmen duo of bad asses, another must for anyone than likes fantasy old school.
Dying earth and anything Jack Vance: You know vancian magic? This is the first time it appears. Awesome settings too, lots of crazy shit and full of Adventure.

NPCs by Drew Hayes: When a group of Player Characters die in a Tavern, a group of NPCs have to take their place in an attempt to keep their insane King from finding out about their deaths and bringing doom to their village.
I didn't have high expectations for the book going in, but I actually fell in love with it for some reason.
>the Way of kings is awesome in a shonen way.
So, bad?
>reading fiction
How do you make it work?
Me, I'd play neo-Aztecs and sacrifice cut out people's hearts to the sun god
This is a book /k/ is making fun of. Here are some of the highlights.
>William S. Lind (born July 9, 1947) is an American monarchist, paleoconservative, columnist, Christian, and a light rail enthusiast.
Preface
>The state upheld its unpleasant responsibility of setting torch to faggots, was what marked this as an act of Recovery
Chapter 1
>We lost a lot of guys on Iwo, and they were men, not women. Of course, these were the years of “political correctness.”...

>But his Secretary of Defense wanted to say something. She had represented Harlem in Congress, and after her defeat by a Black Muslim candidate the administration had given her the defense job to maintain her visibility; she was one of its biggest supporters in the black community. The 42nd Division was her baby – in fact, she had carried several of its babies, until the abortionist had restored her shapely figure – and she wanted it to have its chance to shine.
>“Mr. President,” said the Honorable Kateesha Mowukuu, “I am the only black woman at this table. We have heard what these white men have to say. I would remind you that in this war, white men are our enemy. Now you will hear what a black woman has to say, and I expect all of you to listen with respect.”
>“Black people have been the only warriors in history. White men can’t fight. It’s because their noses are too small. Courage comes from the nose, not the heart, as the African spiritual healers you call witch doctors have long understood. That’s why black people eat their snot. What do you white folk do with your snot? You wrap it up in a little white surrender flag and put it in your pocket. So you don’t have no courage.”
>“All the great warriors in history have been black. Caesar was a black man, and so was his enemy, Hannibal. The Spartans were black. They just dyed their hair blond, to fool their enemies into thinking they were weak white people. Charlemagne was a black man. In French, ʻcharlemagneʼ means ‘kinky hair.’ The Vikings came from Africa, which is where they got those helmets with horns on them. Gunpowder was invented by ancient Zimbabwean scientists, who made it from elephant shit. You ever hear an elephant fart? Black scientists knew there had to be some juju behind that.”
this man's prose is atrocious
might be fun to play as ridiculous multi-culti boogeymen trying to destroy his weird idea of what proper americans are
inb4 /pol/ defends this dumbass' ideas
How come greater heshe daemon mindfuckery doesn't affect marines as much as regular cannon fodder?
Are there any accounts of mooks taking down Greater Daemons of Slaanesh / the other three?
Also does their mindfuckery interact with rival greater daemons?
Like, if an unclean one and a secret keeper team up to fuck up some outpost, does the keeper get super aids and the unclean one fall under the keeper's sexmachine aura?
Could they fuck and make superdeamons?
>>48048068
The selection process for marines means that only some of the most strong-willed humans are selected, who gain even stronger wills through mundane training and hypno-indoctrination.
>>48048261
Daemons do not have a gender. They are not conceived by biological reproduction but are instead formed in the warp by emotions.
>>48048193
Generally, daemons will protect themselves from such influences.

Last time we finished hybridization. We ended up completing some research and training. We salvaged a bunch of delicious tech but sadly we have encountered some problems regarding trade.
We discovered some possible new friends but even more enemies.

Well we need resources.

Sarah ( Eyes ) + Roy (Muscle) + Little P (Driver) + Alias ( Safe cracker ) + Joy (Wild Card )
You four with be the team main with Alias making some opening for your raids.

See if we can't find some people to raid the shit out of.
My group is thinking about playing a campaign in the Unnoficial Elder Scrolls RPG, has anyone here played it and can you say if it's any good or not?
>>48047392
Well, it's based on Runequest, so it depends on whether or not you think Runequest is good.
>>48047392
I've mostly only heard good things about it, but then again I've mostly talked to people involved in the development of it.
Not played it myself yet.
I do know that it's playable and is in use by at least a few ongoing groups, which seem to have a good time.
How do you feel about Runequest?
>>48048829
Never played, not an MMO person.
Does /tg/ have a patron saint? If not, who would it be?
Gary Gygax?
Phillip Pullman?
Terry Pratchett?
Rick Priestly?
The Emprah?
Who do we love and adore the most? Whose ideals most embody our own? My vote goes for Terry. This mofo is my love, my life and my soul
>>48047300
Sir Terry Pratchett would get my vote too.
Spoony, because we're all mentally-unstable, maladjusted, and think we know what we're talking about.
Gilgamesh, the original murderhobo.
