You head into the locker room and feel your phone buzz in your pocket. You look down and open the text while you grab some fresh workout clothes and head for a locker. It's from Jennifer.
“Your roommate and I made a few bets on our games. I won. We'll be along to the gym shortly to cheer you on.”
You open up a locker and stuff your bag into it before starting to get changed. You're dreading what might be involved. Meliora is probably going to kick your ass if Jennifer forced her into a cheerleader uniform or something. You pause for a moment...

You look up to find a cloud of blue-green mist forming in front of you. A face emerges from it suddenly, contorted by pain and screaming, the eyes sewn shut. You manage not to wet yourself as you fall on your backside, which is probably the only positive thing you can say about the experience. You didn't scream so much as yelp though, which is also a plus.
The face bursts into laughter as the rest of the ghost's body materializes, and she peels off the stringy strands of ectoplasm covering her eyes, grinning and discarding the fake threads. She opens her eyes...

Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball...

After reading of the discussion he had with Uriah, is the Emperor the ultimate fedora?
>>44267030
Yes.

No, but graham McNeil is for retconning him so stupidly

explain?
How and why the fuck is he a lord of war
>>44266726
He is a hyper-logical strategist who throws lightening at people.
Why not?
>>44266726
the most influential of factions' leaders are put into lord of war regardless of the actual impact of the miniature on the field.
despite representing well the one of a kind type these characters represent, I can bet my ass it was intended to make people who don't like to use the LoW slot familiarize with it more and eventually fall to the power creep of escalating super heavies and the associated big money.
>>44266726
Technically unless you are using that slot for a transcendent Ctan it is an advantage, you get an extra hq slot.
Do you want your armor crafted from corundum, or diamonds, /tg/?
>>44266698
Ruby sounds neat. Why not?

that would be shit armor either way
can I just get steel or something?

Sure, if you want to be sodomized by the magnet-wizard.
What are some of your favourite builds to run in 4e?
I'm a novice to 4e, still playing in my first game, but I'm loving playing a Bravura Warlord. We're not super worrying about optimization but I'm having a blast mostly building around theme and concept.
Being a big damn hero, taking stupid risks and only getting more dangerous when bloodied is amazingly fun to play. My Warlord is a heroic Dragonborn, surprisingly hotblooded despite her natural cold breath. In addition to fun Warlord stuff I'm putting a lot of feats into her Dragon Breath, aiming for the Draconic Blade Paragon Path because spamming...

Dragonborn Monk can be pretty fun.
>>44266602
depends on the style of game im playing.
when its a more lighthearted adventure i like to play a melee bard and play it as the charismatic swashbuckling type.
in a more serious game i dont have any favorite build, so long as i can make it work
Can you prove someone is a chaos cultist by examining their naked body?
usually gonna be some kinda marking or mutation somewhere, so its probably not a bad way to do things
Yes, if they like the examination, they're most certainly some sort of deviant.
Well there are some that you could that way through the markings and mutations, but it's not a sure thing that all cultists have them. In fact I think that only a very small number could be identified that way.
S’up /tg/, so I have a story to share about a D&D session with the kids at my work yesterday.
I was so god damn tired by the time we were starting our session, that I let one of the more creative kids take over GM’ing for today’s session. I was really gambling with the dice giving that kid the responsibility, but he did not disappoint.
So there were three of us. GM Kid, a chaotic stupid halfling druid (I don’t even use the alignment system with the kids and this kid still rolls as chaotic neutral), and my warforged cleric who’s mute.
GM Kid...

>>44266167
Internally I went into panic mode. This was the reason why I maintained being Forever GM with the kids, because they all can easily go from zero to complete asshole in one second and I use my role as GM to guide them to make better choices, or give them consequences for their stupidity. However, since I wasn’t GM this session, I had to use my character to dissuade the druid kid from being an asshat who attacks a city of mice people. “I try stopping Druid Kid from attacking the King…”
“Don’t...

We drew out the tiny, mouse people sized court room, the defense table too small for my warforged cleric to really sit at. The chaotic stupid druid kid was stuffed in a hanging cage, sapped of his abilities through a potion. We skipped the arraignment all that other bullshit and went straight for the trial.
As GM Kid, started setting up who was who of the court. Druid Kid and I found out that the Judge was the Mouse King and the bailiff was his daughter. “Dude,” I whispered to the Druid Kid “I think we’re going to have to seek a plea bargain, since the person you attacked IS THE JUDGE.”
The Druid Kid was charged with two things:
1. Property Damage
2.Attempted assault against the crown
If found guilty of property damage (which apparently happened, because the Thunderwave Spell hit a guard tower), he would be fined for 60,000 blocks of cheese.
If found guilty of attempted assault against the crown, he would face 16 cats in prison. I thought the GM Kid meant cat lives or something, but he literally meant cats, 16 very angry cats. He started explaining to us how the cat prison system works, but he started losing me on the finer details.
After a discussion of how court proceedings worked, we brought to the stand the first witness, The Great Mouse Wizard of Fucking Yo Shit Up. The Mouse DA asked the Wizard to recount what had happened and why he felt it necessary to subdue the Druid. “He casted an offensive spell against the person of the highest standing within our society” was the witnesses key point.
I had no idea how I was going to present my defense. Do I stick with a not guilty and question the authority of the witnesses? How the fuck am I supposed to discredit the fucking wizard of fucking yo shit up? Do I switch to a plea of insanity? Is that a viable route? Wait no, I’ll make some shit up about use being sent on a quest by another king.

Here's a pic of our hastily drawn courtroom.
Previously, our young protagonist and her stalwart companion worked together to create a diversion and infiltrate the Palace of Justice, seat if the thirteen Paladins. Using the window of time afforded by a massive explosion in town, our protagonist broke Sir Roland, commander of the 13th Order, out of his false imprisonment, grounded in his refusal to join a violent uprising headed by Sir Annandale, commander of the 7th Order and pretender to the line of the Red Queen. Unfortunately, as they cleared the outer walls of the palace gardens, they came face to face with Sir Annandale...

Annandale seems even less pleased with the world than usual, and you notice him resist drawing his weapon.

A week has passed since your fight with the slavers - who now are YOUR slaves - and nothing much has happened. A number of huts now surround your lair, one made from the bones of the Jungle Behemoths that house the hunters and their gear. The Lizardfolk elder, Yaotl, drew you a crude map stretching from their former camp all the way to your hill in the jungle.
According to him they saw nothing of interest along the way, but they were tired, hungry and chased so who knows what they could have missed. The Slaver...

How do you kick a friend out of a group /tg/?
>>44265281
Well, I've had to do it a couple of times in my gaming career. The easiest way to do it is to schedule games without that individual knowing, and explain to everyone else why you don't want that individual coming. Don't be a dick about it, just say, "I feel like games would run smoother without so-and-so." If there's a reason, then your players will understand.
>>44265281
You stop being friends and go back to being a lonely fuck.
>>44265312
Go fuck yourself.
If you don't want somebody there just tell them you goddamn sperg. Lying and doing secret shit is just gonna stir drama dumbfuck.
You are Shee Hyul, rebel leader, psychic and Reunited. Your world is ruled by inhuman creatures and this has gone on far too long, it’s time to fight back.

“Just so my lady” says Lorkua gravely “they were supposed to work only with humans and much of their design was beyond even our most skilled technicians. The spell that allows them to affect the beastfolk is the closest we have come. Of those that emerge alive, one-half are insane, and the remainder are usually deformed, or damaged in some way. A tiny handful of stable Primals and Chronos have been created, and each one that we made was quickly taken by the forces of the King.”
“What is he doing with them?” you wonder aloud. Your mind is working through the description he's given you of what he's done. You think you could find a way to corrupt even the two most powerful activation chambers, maybe. Although if you fail, you'll most likely break them irreparably.
“I do not know My Lady” answers Lorkua, even though the question wasn't addressed to him.
You suppose that you'll find that out another day “who do you report to?” you ask Lorkua.
“The Lord Ialos” he responds. You look to Kaelyn, you're not an expert on the fae nobility.
“One of the generals” says Kaelyn “known to be corrupt, lazy and a coward, but a capable administrator, he'll report to a higher-ranking general, who will answer to the General Staff, who answer to the King.”
Ok, so at least its not Kae's father himself.
“What else are you are the fae here?” you ask “I mean, besides making beastmen?”
Lorkua gives a small shrug “going through the facilities records for anything of note” he says “assessing this locations viability as a military base – it still has some manufactories in good order and might even be used to build power armour suits and other weapons.”
“Any spaceships?” you ask him, thinking of what you saw in his mind.
His brow furrows “No” he says “building those is beyond this place” then his eyes go wide in understanding “ah you mean arcane ships, yes, with a little encouragement, we might be able to get the more powerful beastfolk psychics to create Arcane Ships.”
“What are Arcane Ships?” you ask him.
He gives you a rather condescending smile “something like a spaceship” he explains “but alive, made from a living thing, and so much more capable than a clumsy mess of wires and metal.”
That's when Lirael and Rainya come back, both covered...

What should be the maximum power a player character should ever have in (Insert your system here)?
>>44264694
Depends on the setting, really, and where they stand in it.
>>44264725
Okay
>What is the maximum power a player character should ever have in your setting? How does this compare with the rest of the setting?
>>44264694
Well it's a 50/-25 game, so 75 points of power, I guess...?
Probably more and more as we play.
[Message Begins]
Greetings pilot, if you are receiving this message then it means that we at Hanse have deemed you acceptable for a mission outside of regular AC works. Due to the current civil war the AC’s attention has been focused elsewhere meaning that older jobs had to be postponed until everything calms down. The mission we require your aid with was one of these jobs, however due to recent developments Hanse has caused its importance to increase and now we need it done.
If you accept the job, head for ‘The Last Drop’, a suit bar located in Scotland, once you arrive ask the owner if your mutual friend is there, he will direct you to our agent that is waiting to brief you on the mission.
Good luck and good hunting pilot, we expect your answer soon.
[Message Ends]
______________________________________
For reasons known only to yourself, you accepted the job, maybe it was for money, maybe action hell maybe just because you had nothing else to do, no matter what the reason was you now found yourself standing outside The Last Drop.
The quiet pattering of rain on your armour vanishes as you as you make your way inside, pausing to look around at the quiet establishment. The recent civil has clearly taking its toll on the normally bustling bar’s patronage if the small number of pilots sitting alone in corners is any indication. Noticing you enter the barkeeper nods as you approach the counter and leaning over the bartop you ask him about your mutual friend. He shows little indication that heheard you, instead he continues cleaning the glass he’s holding for a second before putting it down and heading to a side door, indicating for you to follow him.
As you exit the main bar you find yourself at the top of a flight of stairs, following the man down he leads you through a series of tunnels, every so often you pass an open door with glances inside revealing booze, ammo and what look like dormitories before you reach a large hanger like room.

You wait in the bay for around half an hour as a few other pilots arrive and join the slowly assembling squad, eventually you hear the sound of someone clearing their throat and turn around to investigate, instead of the usual unmarked light or mesh favoured by Hanse you find yourself staring at an unsuited man sitting behind a small desk.Once he is sure he has everyone’s attention the man pulls out a small file and begins the briefing.
“Northwest of here lies the main base of a group of unaffiliated raiders, originally they were just a small group of pilots...

There will also be a “take 10” system in effect for this mission. On non-stressful situations(if you can find them), you can automatically be 30 away from target, and roll a d20 to modify it closer to ‘target’. Taking 10 will make it easier to succeed in most cases(easy rolls will be pretty much impossible to fail even), but you cannot use it for dodging, attacking, while being attacked, or if the action would end up putting you through danger.
Basic actions (moving, communicating, observation) will all be success only, so basic actions will happen successfully...

Maureen, who also had a fondness for sitting in the dark to appear mysterious. (And also to look like you knew what the hell you were doing, but that's beside the point) Felt quite at home in the hangar bay. She'd been listening to the debriefing for what seemed like less then an hour.
Which was a nice change, considering that every Hanse Agent and their mother would talk your ear off with how discrete you had to be, or how you shouldn't do this one thing and going into details why. Completely...

The Tsukuda family owns several households in the First District of Western Rukongai. Tsukuda Shiori lives in the largest of them, alone, apart from the rest of her relatives. This large house was where you lived until you decided to join the Shinigami eight years ago. You hadn't kept track of the amount of time you spent living here. It never seemed important. But either way, you don't think it was long. Hopefully, she hadn't moved while you were gone.
You knock on the door. For a while, there's no response, so you knock again. Once again, nothing....
