Can we have a cosmology thread? Fantasy or even ones real-world religions have come up with.
Do you play games that originated before the Renaissance occurred?
Chess, draughts, go, xiangqi, shogi.
chess, checkers, go, shogi, mancala, and poker

You done fucked up
>>44294882
Chess, go, tarot.
Which one do you choose? What's your strategy for taking over the world with your power?
Super science of course. Just for fun.
In terms of taking over the world I'd just create rampant A.I and release it on the internet (bound to my whims). I'm sure it wouldn't be very hard after that point
>>44289305
How would this take out the other users?
>>44289193
Easy, Super Science.
It's the only one that improves the rest of humanity along side you and all of those ideas are still yours. Even if your name doesn't read President of Earth as the guy who developed interstellar travel, immortality and AI you might as well be.
Reminder this is for competitive modern talk.
What cards in the format are:
Overrated?
Underrated?
And is Siege Rhino a meme card?
First for Stoneforge Mystic.

This is a thread created for the discussion of Quest threads, as well as sharing of advice and guidance for aspiring or current QM's. Posters looking for advice on tabletop games should look elsewhere.
Useful links: http://pastebin.com/x6BqaJ7r
This link contains numerous writing guides, general advice, and various quest tools and communities.
https://twitter.com/Eisenstern/lists/quest-runner-directory
This is a directory containing the tweets of most current QM's. While a twitter is by no means mandatory, it is a useful tool for both you and your players. If you are a QM, simply post your Twitter here to have it added to the directory. Spamming your quest twitter with non-quest related tweets may result in its removal from the directory.
IRC Channels:

> QM question
What are you doing to help out new QMs?
> Player question
How often do you post in quests to do more than just vote?
>>44285896
>QM
Not much, I offer advice sometimes I guess.
>Player
Rarely, I used to be really active but these days I mostly just lurk.
>>44285896
>QM Question
Absolutely nothing. I don't believe in hand-holding, even to a minor extent.
>Player Question
I occasionally talk to other players and ask the QM the occasional question, so fairly often.
>>44285896
> QM question
Not shitposting in their quests.
Maybe even checking them out to see if they are in line with my interests.
> Player question
When there's interesting plot discussion and planning going on.
Except in Aspiring Emperor Quest, that shit is inscrutable with all the initialisms and old references the long-time players make, even after going through the archive.
What kind of trophies do your characters take from their defeated foes?
Skin. He then makes a cloak out of the best bits. The cloak has been growing quite nicely over the years.
Souls.
Women.
Character ideas that you'll probably never get to use thread.

Long-lived alien pseudo-shapeshifter raised as a son in seclusion by an eccentric lord in medieval eastern Europe who's recently been uncovered after having been imprisoned in a tower, where it went into hibernation for centuries. Not too hard to fit into a bunch of settings, but I don't really see many opportunities for me to roleplay in the near future.

A blue mage ala Final Fantasy with a passionate fascination towards his hobby of arms dealing.
It'll never work because no system has blue mages. So I'm making one and writing a fantasy-comedy novel to get some noise for the setting. Wish me luck anons, I'll report back in next December with progress.
Talislanta thread. We had a pretty good one last week, let's have another.
Some news: Talislanta is getting a new book in 2016, called The Savage Land, based on the post-apocalyptic period just after the Great Disaster when the world was a huge mess.
There was a recently successful kickstarter for a Tal comic book: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1861515217/tales-of-the-savage-land-a-post-apocalyptic-fantas
All the Talislanta game books are available for download, free and legal, here:

So, can someone give a word-limit pitch of Talislanta?
I have the 4th edition book just sitting on my hard drive, should I have gotten 5th edition? Is it something that I could just find players for or would hey all need to read 300+ pages of setting to be able to play a character in that world?

General. Keep Diplomacy and trade here.
>>44263958
First for no one contacted me;-;
Looking to trade and make alliances. I have lots of desirable meats and soon Honey.
Officially I know of Zargoz and Dorven but haven't made actual contact.

No one contacted me, and the guys I know are on the other side of the ocean. I even have the only trade post.

Can I hold you butte?
Posting my last build, a 3025 Era sniper with the speed to stay at range and armor enough to take a few hits while doing damage. Anything fast enough to get under the PPCs minimum range can be trouble, but they have to close the gap first.
Lyran/FWL anon here again.
With the small BT community we've got locally, there's been some talk about running some kind of simple campaign.
Are there any specific rulesets/systems that would work well for that?
Keep in mind that many of us aren't that experienced in BT yet and massive amounts of bookkeeping would probably scare several of our players off.

Dreadhold is cool edition
No new model until january; fyreslayer will fight for ur-gold. What is ur-gold then? I think that ur-gold exist in 40k too; is that something important, not just a precious metal, like the shard of their god?
>>44242957
>What is ur-gold then?
probably something more retarded than you would have thought of in your wildest dreams
that's AoS in a nutshell
>>44242957
Ur-gold is the opposite of mye-gold.
Hurr hurr hurr.
>>44243489
>>44242957
It's probably special gold that can't be transmuted.
Because normal gold is worthless given Chamon being a place.
Didn't see one in the catalog, so homebrew general.
Post whatever you're working on, be it a card game, a board game, or a RPG system. Let /tg/ see it and lend a hand.
Or just post vague ideas that you've had and plan on doing nothing with, that's cool too.
