>a campaign centered around a dungeon 20 floors tall. each floor designed for that level of characters, and monsters. each floor having a small hub town to rest and fix, towns becoming scarce as you climb. Finally only repairman is found to fix equipment and sell food. Final boss grants 1 million gold...to the one who betrays his party and joins him. Becoming the new floor 20 boss. And adds more floors..

Here is a general idea.

My friend and I spent 3 hours jokingly talking about a super bad villian who just created a giant tower outside a town and sent out flyers advertising 1 million gold reward. Then it turned into why not. And let's make it. So far I identified a few things to do.

1. Random floor bosses
2. Themed floors
3. How fast difficulty raises. Or if the door won't appear until they reach sufficient level
4>who gets to be the DM controlling final boss who has infinite power within his tower of power, who creates monsters at will and outfit them by thinking it.
5.>whether or not to make random event cards to draw randomly to spice it up a bit
6. Party leader gets a homebrew HERO class which is a mix of paladin, wizard and other fun stuff.

Floor 19 boss was gonna be a necromancer named George who collects fallen adventurers for his experiments

All the bosses are resurrected after the players leave the floor, to prepare for the next group


Any thoughts on this, or books I should take a look at, anything helps and feel free to say anything


I have mostly everything for d&d before 4th edition book wise

That sounds boring.

Let's make it a tower with at least a hundred levels, each floor roughly the size of the universe. At the top, you get granted your greatest wish, but nobody has ever made it.
>>
>>44340052

Why would a character want that much gold if they're not allowed to leave?
>>
>>44340113
Or have the tower go down into the earth.
It never ends, it simply makes less and less sense the further you travel.

Stat me for Pathfinder, /tg/!

I've actually been working on the main cast for myself, but I figured you guys might want to share in the fun. I'd be nice to see another stat thread that didn't start and end nowhere.

If it were 3.5 I'd say warblade levels, definitely.

Well right off the bat, I was thinking fighter/sorcerer/cleric.
The majority of the cast are sorcerers to some degree and he uses quite a few healing abilities.

Grippli Paladin.
You mean it wasn't obvious?
If Paladin isn't your jam, then you could always go Magus or Warpriest.

I love how painfully obvious it is that they don't care about the source material whatsoever and just wanted to use 40k as a template to put over their generic space RTS.

but they sorta nail the Gothic architecture
>>
>>44339868
Micro warp-jumps is a pretty big thing. The warp is, if you don't know, a pretty major aspect of the Warhammer universe, and in 40k making a warp-jump is a major undertaking that takes time and cannot be made near gravitational wells.

The only thing I can think of is them having equipped the entire ship with an enormous shunt pack for teleportation, which means that they're flinging their entire crew and a ship that takes up to a hundred years or so to build miles upon miles through the warp largely unprotected, using unheard-of archeotech that is suddenly commonplace.

Say theoretically that in a setting where fairly traditional currency based economics have always been the norm, one nation gains widespread use of molecular fabrication technology.

Basically anything can be made with time and feedstock, and the nation in question has more than enough electrical power to supply the machines.

How then does economics change? Can standard currencies still have value in the face of such a technology? Would a gold standard even mean anything in the face of tech that lets someone print out enough gold bricks to make a house if the whim struck them?

Feedstock is cheap as dirt because half the time that's what it is, but electricity would still have to be paid for, and even feedstock isn't completely free. Though this nation would also have the technology to make labor robots to handle mundane tasks.

Any thoughts on how a national economy might shape up in the face of such technology?

Economy crashes. Money is worthless. Gold is devalued. Gratz, a new Africa is born.
>>
>>44337960

Time becomes the currency. Time worked gives you time on the replicators. So while you can make yourself a house of gold bricks, it's going to take awhile to actually work enough to make it.
>>
>>44338135
In the game the vending machines only accepted currency in the form of chips that were combined feedstock and battery. Would such a currency still hold up? Each coin would have value because it is literally the self contained resources to make things.

Plus it would be easier on infrastructure if everyone carried the power with them in battery form rather than all that electricity being transmitted along power lines.

Because that's not really grim or dark.

40k may have once been like a ridiculous joke setting but I think it's reached the point where like a canon breech of the whole mood would cause the entire thing to come crashing down.

I mean it's not in your face about being a comedy, but the style of humor the books use is perfect for poking fun at how derpy the setting is without making fanboys reeeeee over their precious grimdark being made fun of.

Probably some sort of AI controlled jet of some type. It would outperform average jets and our AA systems would have trouble pinning it because its lack of organic pilot means it could pull maneuvers that would usually kill the occupants. Because dragons seem to run on magic we could handwave the massive stresses that shit would put on the planes body over time.

Visual attractiveness doesn't seem like the best point of judgement for the moral value of things, in general. There's plenty of examples of evil-but-pretty or ugly-but-good things out there.

Become The Vampire 20

You head for the Chinese restaurant with Jennifer. She sticks close to your side, and thinking about it for a moment, you realize that she's the one who's afraid. She's away from her pack, away from people she knows she can control, and the only person who she can rely on is you. You don't see the fear on her face, but she gently squeezes your arm from time to time when people pass by.

The sun is still far from the horizon, but you can see a few odd folks here and there. Mainly their the usual sort of people you'd expect to see in slums, except they're more like actors playing roles than genuine gutter trash. Spies, warriors in disguise and black market merchants who can't sell their goods in the Bizarre, or at least those are the images that spring to mind.

The restaurant itself is kind of run down, but as you step inside you almost find yourself in another world. The room is bigger on the inside, lit with candles and lanterns, and the wooden walls, railings and furniture are all beautifully sculpted. A man (at least, you presume it's a man) of Oriental descent (again, presumption) approaches you with a polite smile.

“Welcome to Wong's Room. I am Wong. Table for two?”

You nod and follow the man as he guides you to a table. There are a few other patrons scattered about, talking in low tones about things you probably shouldn't listen in on. You end up in a small booth with Jennifer at your side, a pair of menus laid out in front of you.

“The house special is chicken fried rice, and we have all manner of food and drink in stock to please any palate. What will you have?”

Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.

Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

Do any of you guys know of a good resource for counterfeit MtG cards? I'm not looking to play with them in tournaments or whatever, just looking to get some replicas of the older cards for fun and for casual play with some of my good friends.

Why does literally every person who asks for fakes have to follow it up with the "but I'm totally getting for casual play only!" bullshit line.

We know you're fucking lying. I just don't understand why you feel the need to lie on 4chan.

If it's just to play with your friends, print out some paper cards, cut them out and put them over basics in sleeves.
>>
>>44328278
Honestly, I've thought about getting cards just for casual play. Shit like Doubling Season is a bit absurd.

If I did, though, I'd almost certainly get them with a different card back to make it clear that they were fake, since I play with sleeves, rather than trying to pull the wool over anyone's eyes.

They're not bad. They're not my favorite because I don't like having to buy special die and the conversion chart takes about 5 times as long per roll. They're better than a lot of other systems though. Distinctly above average, but I like others better.
