what is chivalry to you in your gaming
dead & buriedthen exhumed, desecrated and buried again
It's dead, and I think Game of Thrones is what killed it.

Chivalry is dead. I should know, I killed it.

What are some TTRPG settings based on conspiracy theories?

Unknown Armies

You mean to tell me that there are TTRPGs that aren't?
>>48029462
Unknown Armies, Delta Green, Paranoia certainly encourages conspiracy.
As you guys got older, having to hold down a full time job, did your tolerance level for incompetent/inefficient parties and/or GMs went down?
I just can't handle bad GMs or parties anymore, so I'm now incredibly picky on who to play with. If I need to waste 20-30 minutes messaging my GM on how I want to enter a room, I'm dropping out faster than terminal velocity.
Now that I'm working a real job and attending grad school I've found that my patience for online games has dropped off almost entirely.
There's so many issues that crop up in those games that don't crop up when you're playing face-to-face with real people that I've stopped even trying to play anything that isn't my Sunday game with my irl friends
>>48029128
Honestly, growing up has decreased my level of patience in general. When you have only 3-4 hours a day for yourself (after commuting and all the miscellaneous BS of adulthood), every moment matters. I don't have time for people being shitty.
I have a lot less tolerance for players and DMs acting stupid. I speak up a lot more than I used to, though I typically have the courtesy to mention it outside the session.
>>48029128
Mine actually went up, but that's mostly because it's a home group of graveyard shifters.
Bored all night, roleplay all day, sleep never!

Can someone please remind me why I wanted to collect all the AD&D books?
That ain't even counting the actually expensive ones like the spell volumes and some of the really obscure modules
but man, does any game even compare to the amount of fluff AD&D had?
Also can someone help me out here
AD&D is second edition right? Like there's not really a First Edition AD&D? that was just Dungeons and Dargons right? The evolution of chainmail?
I can confirm, AD&D is basically D&D v2.0
>>48032296
well that's not very helpful...
>>48028778
>AD&D is second edition right? Like there's not really a First Edition AD&D? that was just Dungeons and Dargons right? The evolution of chainmail?
no
first there was "dungeons & dragons", which most people now call OD&D (original dungeons & dragons).
after that, they created two different product lines - D&D (also known as basic D&D) and advanced D&D. what most people call 1st edition was the 1st edition of AD&D,...

Top kek.
Do baby wizards use pictures and pop-ups?
You became an owner of a stone watchtower somewhere on the fringe of an ancient empire, beyond it there are mostly untamed forests inhabitated by green elves (mostly peaceful as long as you don't harras them and open to trade).
In the basement you found loot worth ten years salary of a craftsman that you can spend on refurbishing the tower. The tower is structurally sound but otherwise almost empty, with leftover furniture crumbling to dust.
What do you do with it?
No love for watchtowers?
>>48027726
We need more context
As it stands, yay, there's a watchtower with money to spend on it.
What's the setting?
What's the context?
We're missing essential scope here yo.
Good art tho
>>48027726
I suppose hire elven craftsmen, and servants to help clean this tower up in exchange for loot, and love out a life of quiet isolation until it finally drives me to kill myself. :|
What are some good, noticeboard-style sidequests to send my players on? I need some interesting filler for next session while I prepare my next plot important adventure.

Sooner than that, and it won't be limited to the wealthy.

Let's make a Superdungeon lads
Only rule is D&D 3.5
I'd almost want to say to rip Undermountain wholesale, because it's one of my favorite megadungeons, but for the sake of not stepping on it's toes, I'd say the rule is to be as Un-undermountain as possible.
So, instead of a Mad Wizard, a sad witch? Instead of a mountain, a forest? Sea? Mangrove forest?
What ever we choose, we need the essentials:
1× mimic
1x gelatinous cube
I'd like to see a small band of adventuring goblins traversing the dungeon as well, no more than 4 of them.

It's a city built on a mountain, with the base being ez-mode and the pinnacle being where the 6-winged angels kick your shit in
Is it That Guy to have a You Fail You Lose spell as your main answer to combat? Whether it's sleep, mind control, an incredible urge to flee or an instant death spell?
And no, it's not just DnD that has this kinda thing. The Dominate discipline in WoD for example.
It really depends on the tone of the game. Recent D&D editions have actually moved away from you-fail-you-lose because they're somewhat anticlimatic, but they're essential to 2e because high-level mage combat would often end up as a series of erecting and dismissing magical defenses just so you could actually get that YFYL spell through.
It being the first and main answer does make things get dull, but if you have to fight tooth-and-claw just to actually cast that spell, it can be quite exciting.
I personally don't like them, but there's...

If you want an answer to your question, OP, read this.
Read this and note that it only talks about one mage vs. his enemy, another mage. Nobody else in the party is worth mentioning.
I was DMing a game, and as I was wrapping it off, I really pissed off one one of my players.
Near the beginning of the campaign, I established that good people went to Elysium when they died, which was like a heavenly, idyllic plain where people were young forever and crops never failed, and animals were all tame and peaceful, etc. At the heart of Elysium is the castle of the king of the gods, who allows only the finest warriors to live in his halls, where they drink and feast and spar eternally, training for the final battle between good and evil. However, each person...

So obviously there was no right or wrong answer, and the God just wanted to know that each of his warriors had gained some wisdom during his life, and had a bold enough heart to state his convictions.
But the player who wasn't let in, kept complaining that he was singled out, even though I told him that he didn't succeed because his answer wasn't original.
It really put a damper on the closing mood, and I feel pretty bad about it.
Did I do wrong?
>>48025079
Maybe you should've said to the player "you're really just gonna say what the other player said?" To give him a hint?
>>48025079
>Did I do wrong?
Yeah. It's really stupid and immersion breaking to have the god judge based on originality when people have been dying and coming to be judged there 5ever. And since the players weren't together in character, it's not like his character actually got the answer from the former. Seems like you were playing the god as you for a moment there instead of the in inverse deity.
Strangest hiding spot your character has used?
Inside the guts of a dead mammoth. He was hiding from a dragon. Turns out that dragons like to eat mammoth more than they do humans anyway.
>>48024294
One had the party hide against a wall and used magic to make a false wall right in front of us.
>>48024294
Right behind the guard, like a comedy sketch.

After passing three separate tests the DM was forced to just accept the guard had absolutely no clue where I was and move on.
