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
also make em up talky time and drink the booze
>>44294882
>Pieces on squares instead of intersections
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.

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.

> 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.
>>44285717
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:
http://talislanta.com/?page_id=5
So, is there anything worse in the world than an army of Vasps?
>>44282270
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?
>no elves in this setting

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.

Orc invasion edition
Hello everyone and welcome to ShitterNormie's Machine Civ part 7!
>What's happening in the civ Shitter?
Excellent question anon! We are the head AI of a group of drones and multi-purpose machines. Remember anon...if the main AI is destroyed the civ is lost!
>Where are we Shitter?
We are located in the side of a volcano. Our base (which can be given a new name) was built by our old masters: The gnomes. They're dead now because of orcs. But here we are! We are a large super computer that is position in the center of the main room of the volcano-side base. However, we have recently developed a battle suit that we can travel around in. So far the current rooms we have are 1 door leading to the outside world, 1 drone building facility, 1 machine building facility, 1 steel mine, 1 generator room, 1 Machine of Burden building facility, 1 Copybot building facility and 1 locked room. We only have one current ally at the moment: the gnolls who have been graced with our gift of being transformed into a superior mechanical version.
>Did anything happen last time Shitter?
We got a lot of troops last time anon. We managed to turn all of the gnolls into Gnollbots via roboticks, in preparation for our attack against the orcs we have invented a new type of drone: The laser drone, a mommy battlesuit was built so that we could fuck shit up ourselves and give some inspirational speeches, and #6 fucked up our generator and we had to fix it. We found out that the orcs are obsessed with the size of their teeth, how heavy and big their armor is, and how big their axe is.
>How do I get started!?!?!?
Just suggest two actions at the end of the IMMEDIATE CHECKUP. All choices' success will be determined by a 1d20 roll that I will do on my desk and tell you guys. (Rolled 15,2)
Pic related is S.A.L.L.Y 2.0
IMMEDIATE CHECKUP ENGAGED
>Power supply: decent
>Drones:20 advanced grabber drones, 16 gunner drones, 3 maintenance drones, 1 eye drone, 1 #6, 14 inferno drones, 1 #11, 10 laser drones
>Machines of Burden: 2 Trade Caravan Machines of Burden
> Humanoid Machines: 4 multi-purpose machines (these can be changed with upgrades and research)

>Turrets: 1 Heavy Machine Gun Turret
>S.A.L.L.Y. 2.0: current body: Mobile attack mother
>S.A.L.L.Y 2.0 weapons/upgrades: assault rifle, inferno flamethrower, 6 mini-missiles, 2 laser eyes

>Special characters: (>>) Drone #6, (>) Inferno drone #11, (_) S.A.L.L.Y's mobile form,(>>>) Laser drone #1, (<) Spotbot
>Moral: All look up to you and follow you loyally (#6 is still heavy)
>Allies: Gnolls (The Gnolls are honorary machines)
>Building facilities: 1 steel mine, 1 machine builder, 1 drone builder, 1 generator room (decent), 1 machine of burden builder, 1 copybot builder (mass production unlocked)
>Memory files: Ever so slightly above average (this can be fixed with dedicated research which will unlock lore and blueprints)
>Locations unlocked: Home base (wellhidden), Outside world, Gnoll village (under our control), Troll lair (cleared), Trading outpost
>Locations that we have heard about: The elves to the eastern forest, The Orcs to the northern plains, The Crabmen to the south that apparently live in some fortified, seaside fortress
>Inventory: 3 spears, 2 shields, 60 steel, 50 copper, 20 platinum, troll organs, 1 Santa troll
What would you like to accomplish now (2 actions)?
Updated map
Hello ShitterNormie! Reporting in.
You are an average elf, young, just beginning to be considered an adult, but beyond that there's nothing terribly special about you. You are also a dragon, still young, still fairly average for your age. Your people have for millennium maintained an almost humanoid form in order to evade the cross-hairs of humanity, who ruthlessly hunt you when you are found, due the monstrous actions of your less discreet ancestors, and even still some of your more violent cousins. They however have never managed to make the connection between the mysterious, rare, and long lived elves and dragons. Today, you and your parents are seated in your true forms, beneath the nexus of The Gate, a dangerous but important act... with you about to say farewell for a years time at the very least, and perhaps decades yet.
To paint a fuller picture, I must learn more of who you are young dragon, this scene is repeated every time one of your kind comes of age... but you are an individual, and your tale will not be the usual.
Let us begin with the basics, what do people call you?
>______
Pointy Ears. Our ears are incredibly pointy even for an elf
Black Teeth, we have a taste for rotting meat and our breath is foul.
As an elf, people typically refer to you by your distinguishable ears, when seen as a dragon, humanity gave you a vicious name (It was ONE time!) You do not know your True Name, and your parents didn't feel like giving you one at birth only for it to be cast aside as you underwent your journey, where one of the requirements for returning home is to discover for yourself, so you are typically referred to by descriptions.
What color are your scales little lizard?
