We return once more to the game of fate! Without a doubt more questions have been raised than answered, but we have only tackled three cards in the deck of your memories!
Who is the Lord of Autumn? How could a lowly lumberjack become involved with such grandiose figures? Why were there naked goblins eating strange mushrooms in sewers?

Holy shit guys, there is a new creation table on 1d4chan! Who is up for rolling a titan legion?!
First question:
What is the Mainstay Engine of the Titan Legio?

Awesome. Can't wait for them to make a Skitarii legion table at some point.
>>44270589
Warhound Pattern
First and Lead Engine of the Legio

>come on 90-100
>tfw you're the only person that thanks the ST/GM after each session
Feels weird man. Is this a cultural thing?
Do you thank your GMs or do you consider showing up enough of a thanks?
>>44269732
My players from all over the world thank me after sessions. It's an online game.
One from germany, couple from the US, one in Canada.
>>44269732
I don't make a big deal of it but I say thanks after ever session, yeah.
Generally friends don't thank each other for hanging out with each other.
Who /multiclass/ master race here? Doing 3.5 with a Fighter/Rogue
>tfw went for 16 STR and WIS
>lvl fighter to 4, get zen archery and bow strength
>then keep lvling rogue to rack up them sneak attacks and wis skills
That's nice, but it's nowhere near masterful where 3.5 is concerned. Have fun, I guess?
>Zen Archery with a fighter with equal strength and wisdom
That's not exactly a good example of 3.5 multiclassing.
Hello /tg/,
I was working on a personal project of mine, then I had this strange lightbulb idea of using standard playing cards (The kind used in Poker, Solitaire, and Blackjack) in an RPG game system.
I was wondering if anybody knew of perfect examples of a game system that uses this?
The All Flesh Must Be Eaten guidebook contains instructions for using playing cards as an alternative to dice.
>>44269376
>The All Flesh Must Be Eaten
I don't even need to look it up to know it's a zombie game. XD Thank you.
>>44269404
It's actually an indie title about the vegan cause.

Why did we go from a badass death machine to knight 2: the electric boogaloo?
>>44268433
Best B8o my m8o, have a reply!
Remember anons: sage goes in the option field!
>>44268433
Cheaper to reuse existing moulds than to make new ones, probably.
>>44268433
Definitely Bait, but I'll bite anyway.
'Badass Death machine'-Warlord is the Lucius Pattern Warlord, which is more boxy and intimidating than the regular patterns, similar to the Lucius Warhound.
The other is the Mars-Alpha Pattern Warlord, which is based off of the original titan models in the first editions of Epic. The Lucius pattern actually came later than the Mars in terms of fluff as well.
Can we have an Eberron thread /tg/?
This is one of my favorite D&D settings, next to Dark Sun. I love the blend of pulp, steampunk, noir & fantasy elements. Such a versatile setting, you could be a daring archaeologist/spelunker exploring the forgotten Cambodian-esque ruins of Xen'drik in a pulp-like adventure, or you could be an effete socialite plotting within the spires of Sharn, orchestrating a conspiracy of saboteurs to consolidate power.
It's freaking awesome.
>>44268067
You don't have to sell it me man I love Eberron. Damn shame nothing's happened with it lately. Necromantic elves with skull makeup give me instant nerd boner everytime.

You could also play magical girls/boys in Sharn who attend school by day and battle all sorts of clandestine monsters prowling the towers at night, from rakshasas of the Lords of Dust, to aberrant agents of the Dragon Below, to dream-warping quori...

Stop.
Has anyone tried casting spells from traditional games in real life?
>>44267625
I tried using the Force when I was a kidand yesterdaydoes that count?
No, because were not in middle school and desperate to find a way to terrify our Christian parents.
>>44267700
dont you want to use magic anon?
Why is DnD so obsessed with alignment anyways? It serves no purpose besides interacting with a few abilities and spells here and there.
It's just a big sham that serves to filter out That Guys before you start playing.
>>44267537
My take on it is that DnD is in it's very nature a game about classic fantasy tropes and clichees.
Alignments are simply a way to shoehorn a characters personality into a clichee for simple reference. How much you care for it is you thing, as you said most of the rules don't care for it at all, except you are one of those masochist that wants to play a 3.PF Paladin and the associated minigame of your GM getting you to fall. Which in and off itself is just another clichee.
>>44267651
This. It may have served more of a purpose in earlier editions but now it's simply an RP aid for those who might need it. If you're not sure how your character is supposed to act morally just go off of their alignment.
Hello spellcasters of /tg/.
My child is very sick with the crimson plague, and although I'd love to bring her someone who can heal her, I've heard that spells can cause autism.
Can anyone educate me on this?
>>44267533
Common misconception. Most mages are autists, now the people they cast spells on.
>>44267533
Spell reagents contain mercury, grave dust, wolfsbane and up to 50 other POISONS.
Ban cure disease spells now!
>>44267551
unless mages cast spells on themselves, or each other

You whistle as you work on clearing the snow in front of your New York apartment home. It wasn’t too cold today, so you weren’t wearing anything except for a simple black sweater and some pants. But as you were piling up the snow onto the curb, apparently your elderly neighbor in the next building over disagreed. “Christine!”...

[2/3]
“Hey, Christine!” Rana smiles happily as she carries a couple of bags. Walking next to her is Anneliese, who is busy taking in all the sights and sounds of a New York coming into hibernation. Baseball season is over, people are becoming insular, the only people out in the streets are kids who like to play in the snow and the unfortunate adults who have to work during the holidays. “Guess what I got you~!” she says as she waves a bag about in your face.
“It’s not a gun, is it?” you ask.
She stares at you, her smile fixed in place as she lowers the bag. “… maybe.” You grunt, going back to shoveling the snow. “But Anneliese got you something from the Woolsworth!”
“Ja, ja,” she says. Her English was getting better, much better. “It is a surprise though for Christmas morning!” She smiles happily, keeping her bag shut. Doesn’t seem too big. It’d certainly make you feel guilty though if Anneliese spent her money or something extravagant for you. One thing Dad always taught you is that vanity attracts only fairweather friends.
“Great, great,” you say.
“So did you get us anything?” You smile, nodding. Rana squeals a little, patting Anneliese’s arm. “You hear that, Christine got us something, Annie! Aaahhh!” She continues drumming her hands on Anneliese’s arm, making her slightly uncomfortable. “Okay, okay, don’t tell us, let me guess! Is it a car?”
“Yeah. I disassembled a Phantom Corsair and fit it right underneath our Christmas tree for you, Rana,” you say. Her eyes shine brightly. “I… that’s a joke, Rana.”
“Oh.” She frowns a little, disappointed.
“Tell you what, Christmas morning, you’ll love what I got you,” you say. She smiles again, happy. “Same with you, Anneliese. As an American welcome, I think you’ll really like what you’re going to get.” Anneliese smiles cautiously, looking at Rana. Rana nods happily, then looks back at you. “By the way, have you two seen Sumire anywhere?”
>>44267178
[3/3]
“Nope.” Rana whistles out in an alleyway. “Kirby!” Kirby appears on Rana’s shoulder. “Have you seen, Sumire?”
“I have,” he says. “She’s currently walking around New York. She apparently hasn’t done any Christmas shopping at all.”
“Aw, now, Kirby, no one likes a tattle-tale,” says Rana.
“Wait, what?” You tap Kirby, and he looks over at you. “What do you mean, hasn’t done any Christmas shopping at all? It’s Christmas Eve! It’s…” You check...

Question, is Rabanastre effectively like Sharn in terms of its stratified neighborhoods, theme, guilds & everyday living?
Is Balfonheim a nice place to live, despite being home to pirates?
>>44267142
I think it could be as long as you lay your head down low. The biggest problem I'd see is if you were raising a family on a limited income and your child was pressured into joining due to lack of opportunity.
>>44267142
Well, even dumb animal wouldn't shit where it sleeps.
Pirate wouldn't plunder where he lives.
Your people find themselves stranded in an unfamiliar environment- a prehistoric world, untouched by time. They have only a slight recollection of who they once were as a society, and no idea of what they may become. That is all up to you, the player. Your tiny nation can become anything, from peaceful traders to bloodthirsty conquerors. This is a world where anything is possible; brutal and savage orcs may rise up to become an advanced, civilized society, and high-tech, sophisticated robots may dwell in caves, bashing things with rocks, if you so choose.

Name: The Broodnest
Race: The Brood. Spider-like Humanoids that share a hivemind with their Broodmother. Each has four arms and a light chitinous armor on their body. Certain variants of the species that assist in caring for the queen have four clear wings not unlike those of dragonflies to assist in maneuverability. Other, "workers," have the ability to create a sort of silk which is used in expanding the hive. Their mouths are lined with eighty thin, sharp teeth.
Fluff: The Broodnest is a colloquial term used to describe the large "hive" or "nest"...
