So, i want to get back into standard. I have a playset of all the KTK fetches, ao i dont think it would be too bad.
I've pulled 2 Jaces this month. Can i just use 4 flip cards and have those 2 Jaces? I don't think anyone would call me on it
>>44272100
Legally you need to have 1 Jace for each flip card that way Wizards of the Coast can fully ravage your asshole.
>>44272100
You can probably get away with it at the less serious events, although it is against the rules.

Disney Villains Victorious is a /tg/ homebrew project based on the glorious idea of a world, not entirely unlike our own, in which (almost) all the villains from (almost) all the Disney animated feature films were not defeated at the ends of their movies but were instead victorious, completing their goals in part or in whole.
It is a world in which Ursula rules the seas, defied only by the uncatchable Pirate Lords and the might of Atlantis. It is a world where the grasslands, the jungles and the forests are prowled not only by fearsome primal beasts like Shere Khan and...

OK, let's try that again, this time without the link to Reddit which pretty much killed the last thread. There was some interest last time. Hopefully, we can do it this time.

You know /tg/, fantasy is a HUGE word and it could mean any number of things. However most people seem to stick it directly into a medieval, iron age level plus or minus a few hundred years style of technology and society. But we can see that there is so much more.
Strange eons in the past with primal or tribal fantasy, science fiction in the future, modern fantasy that could be crazy or could be pretty normal with a sinister undercurrent. Or entirely alien worlds that are completely off the wall and invented.
What say you, /tg/? Why is so much of fantasy focused...

There's a reason people are sticklers for a generic middle age time when it comes to Fantasy and it's not that they're hacks, it's an established set of things to go together.

True, but there are SO many other eras that one could draw from. Caveman/native american style, futuristic, bronze age or roman, victorian or early industrial, modern day, etc. I'm just surprised there isn't more of it and people still like sword and board fantasy so much.

Hey /tg/ I would like to do a campaign set in the Gothic metropolis of Yarnham before societies collapse under the red moon and the nightmare ritual of Micolash. Maybe even before the scouring of Old Yarnham
What this means is I need a system that can handle basic Victorian era firearms, high lethality, and using exp directly to spend on feats/stats/advancement or whatever. I'd also like to talk about various bits of setting info, like Yarnhams Xenophobia or the fact blood was used as a recreational drink and narcotic there
Or we could just talk about lore if that's ok

Then again, who does.
Here's an idea /tg/. Make an actual fucking dungeon. Like start with an old cellar and just start digging it out, move into it for a year to make it look natural. Rent the place out to larpers, laser tag, weddings, frats, whatever.
Who wouldn't want to put on a foam viking helmet and carry and axe and get allowed to kick in doors, preferably after buying your alcohol?

what, exactly, makes a game OSR?
It's basically first edition D&D, with a pinch of smug elitism
Old school games tend to be run by "Judges" as opposed to "narrators".
Also, encounters tend to be more lethal, and quests are usually more quest driven, rather than story or "objective" driven.
There is a bit more ambiguity in the rules, and room to dispute certain things like skillchecks and the exact effects of combat or criticals.
There also happen to be more tables used during play.
OSR games aren't better. They're just different. I've enjoyed every tabletop game I've played to one degree or another, but the systems I've had the most fun with are old d20 based homebrews where characters usually have to fight for each magic item and spell they obtain.

Old school D&D rules, New Weird fantasy setting.
Hello /tg/ I haven't posted here before. Some friends and I would like to start playing D&D. None of us has really played it before, we are all beginners, how do we get into it? Where do we start, what is essential to play?
Dice books a decent attention span and some creativity. Paper and pencils, modules for the first few games.
Well with the SRD, you don't really need books, but yeah
Dice are good, you need pencils and papers too
I would recommend you stick core only while getting a hang of the game.
>>44335982
>Well with the SRD
>recommending people 3.x instead of 5e
Why do fucking grandpas still act like their version of D&D is the current one?
That shit is 15 years old now and the new, current edition is both drastically better and more popular.
>>44335851
OP you should pick up or download the D&D 5e books. The Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's guide...

So in systems with INT and WIS stats and skills that feed off of them, what do you guys usually roll when your character is trying to dredge up a memory?
In D&D, remembering shit is Int.
Knowledge, or KNO
Depends whether you are communing with the hypercosmic gods or directly trying to tap into the memory of the world-soul tbqh family.
I'm a GM with a guy in my group who doesn't seem to understand the rules. While me and other players at the table are more than happy to teach and help, it's obvious that he's depending purely on our tutoring and never bothers to read the book for himself between sessions. I've already talked to him about this on several occasions and he keeps reassuring me that he will, but sure enough when he shows up we have to re-educate him on the most basic shit.
I'm really tempted to "lay into him" now. That is: Punish him for being such a fucking idiot. I don't want to make things blatantly unfair (like a big dragon that concentrates only on him) but put him against against things that all the other players with decent knowledge of the rules will be able to handle, but will knock this particular guy flat on his ass.
Good idea or bad idea?
That sounds a bit harsh and rather passive aggressive.
Some people simply have a hard time learning games, especially when it comes to things like learning from books. If he's a good member of your group otherwise, having patience and helping him along is the nice and mature thing to do, even if it's difficult and not as immediately satisfying.
Maybe he just needs a cheat sheet? Just a page that contains the basic info he needs, like attack options during a turn or what different abilities do, to serve as a quick reminder in case he forgets. You can put...

Then they shouldn't be playing table top RPGs. Computer RPGs would be more their speed.
>>44334934
Kill him. Not the PC, the player. Let his death serve as an example to others. Once per session, defile his corpse in front of the others. Make them understand that each player is responsible for learning the rules.
Or, work with him on them. Either is fine.
