Anyone play D&D Attack Wing?
>>44200235
How is the balance? Not sure I can trust Wizkids after how STAW came out after the Borg introduction.
>>44200292
I haven't gotten to play much, but some of the higher-end dragons seem rediculous to me, having things like 10 health and 4 armor. The smaller units and dragons are much more fun to play with and against each other.
>>44200235
I have a doubt. do I need to buy copies of the figs for, I don't know, do anything special? I mean I was planning on get just one of each "unique" unit. is that enough?
>>44200292
>>44200626
and how it looks Wizkids doesn't have a good reputation at handling the games they own...
How would you feel about a game where you play as the personification of various countries and other nation states

Only if you can play as Ireland

I'm here!
Working on the 1st post, do you guys want Sprucke and M'tik to run the other Villages? Do we want to spread some of our villagers to those villages? I can give that as a free action
>>44227439
Mix all villagers between each other. Shuffle them. And yes, they can run those villages.
I have no friends and don't know what to do the new year's eve,
can we make a /tg/ online game for poor fuckers that share my condition?
A campaign or even just a tabletop game like betrayal at the house on the hill.
>>44227276
Just leave us alone and play solo, creep.

B-but where's the fun?
What do you think of this?
>>44226003
Tell me what "this" is that I'm looking at.
I see a generic fanart of a generic young adult fantasy book based off some splatbook.
>>44226585
The third D&D movie.
>>44226585
There were two D&D movies that were made after the massive flop. They were made on a much lower budget, but ended up being quite a bit better. Not amazingly good, but passable, and you could actually tell that the setting was D&D rather than just generic fantasy with that one beholder thrown in for kicks.

Pretty normal, roll20 is the first online stop for beginner roleplayers these days. And most of them think a scattershot approach to character applications is their best bet to get into a game or two.
Any good Cyberpunk 2020 games on there? I can never seem to find anything.

That's kind of depressing... but explains why I seem to be taken first for like 100% of the games I apply to despite being fairly shit with a low amount of hours.
Also, where'd I go for modern interior maps? Even the commercial packs they offer are fairly underwhelming in terms of quantity.

Cartographer's Guild has some free stuff, otherwise look here for a Maps thread. I've got a trove at home but can't access it now.
The story so far:
You are Anon. Until yesterday you were a kissless virgin NEET, living with his mum and dad and contributing nothing to society. Today you are a regular virgin NEET, still living with his mum and dad, and still contributing nothing to society.
BUT yesterday your life took a surprising turn: your parents set up a blind date for you, with none other than ‘This Morning’ presenter and certified semen demon Holly Willoughby.
After some initial spaghetti-spilling and a small argument with Holly’s co-presenter, Supreme Orbiter Schofield, the dinner went well. Filled with liquid courage, you successfully charmed Holly enough that she agreed to prolong the date in the pub. Unbeknownst to you, Phillip Schofield, dejected that the love of his life was seeing another man, had gone to that very same drinking establishment to drown his sorrows.
When you saw Phil in this state, Holly laughed at him, loudly enough he awoke from his drunken stupor and was sent into a rage. He charged at you in an attempt to glass you, and after you failed to trip him, he succeeded in doing so. Despite being wounded, you managed to trip him on the second attempt, then reduced him to tears by telling him how much of a beta he was. Lots of people documented the drunken, weeping tv presenter and it inevitably ended up on social media. You left for Holly’s so she could look at your wounded back, while the barman was trying to evict Schofield.
Holly nursed your back to good health and the two of you even shared a kiss, but nothing more happened before you went to sleep. When you woke up, she had gone to work, but had left a note saying how much she enjoyed the first date and was keen for another.
Meanwhile Schofield awoke in an alley behind the pub…
>>44224576
You’re in Holly’s house still from the night before, you’re a NEET so you don’t have any job to go to today; you should probably get out of Holly’s house before lunchtime though.
You go downstairs, make yourself some toast and coffee, switch on ITV, and there she is: Holly, as lovely as ever. “Once again, we apologise that Phil can’t be with us on this program; he’s had an unexpected personal tragedy so will be taking some time off.” Huh. You think you know what that means. You finish up breakfast and decide you should get going about your day.
You have the day ahead of you, do you want to:
>Go and get your back properly seen to by a nurse.
>Go home and doss about.
>Go back inside Holly’s house to [you tell me].
>Try and get into a bit better shape.
>Your own suggestion.
>>44224581
I think we need to go to a nurse, otherwise we might get infected and die just before we knob Holly.

tl;dr
>"Barbarians are just dumb muscle. If you want points in thieving or diplomacy, create a new character."
Somebody would like a word with you.
>>44224442
Like how Gandalf wasn't a d&d wizard, Conan is not a d&d barbarian.
>>44224470
What if gandalf was a really low level wizard with a epic bluff score to begin with? Then he just leveled up on a faster EXP scale than the rest of the party.
>>44224442
Pretty sure you can pull off thieving and diplomacy Barbarian RAW. That said Conan's thieving usually involved someone getting shanked, so I don't know if that makes him good or bad at it.
Hey /tg/, i was wondering if i could get some help and maybe some suggestions from you guys.
In my current campaign my PC's need to get from The South to the North in a limited time frame, roughly 4 months during winter. And I'm honestly not sure how to make the day to day travel interesting, or ways to go about just making it more than "You travel for a few days... BANDITS, you travel for a few more... DYSENTERY, and a few more... VILLAGE etc etc"
So does anyone got any thoughts.
>>44223977
Have reoccuring characters or themes as the PCs travel.
at first there are crows, then crows feeding on dead animals, then a couple days later the crows are feeding on an entire dead villiage, then over the next hill you see...A MEGA CROW
A young man keeps following the PCs, he constantly nags them to help him hunt, or to help him make weapons, or to train him, or let him sleep in the camp. He seems obsessed with hunting or evadingSOME CREATURE
After weeks of this, the boy suddenly disappears one night and doesn't show up. the PCs are all painfully aware of the lack of this young man, and his camping gear is still set up a short distance from the PCs camp.
Later that night aSOME CREATUREattacks the PCs.
Also random encounters can be pretty varied. take the Traveller rural encounter table for example. you roll 2d6. One is the 10s, one is the 1s. So a roll of a 4 and a 6 would be 46.
>>44223977
Old lady and her grand daughter. They receive and shelter the player for one night without charge but...they are actually werewolf ambushing travelers during winter. And the pc's are the new hunt.
>>44224054
>they are actually werewolf ambushing travelersSo they're travelers that ambush werewolves? so that would make the party.... Werewolves!? MAJOR PLOT TWIST
A-anyone got an online group I could join? A-any system?
>doesn't care what system
So you're pretty much guaranteed to not care that much.
>>44223927
I do care, I mean that in a way that open to learn other systems. I can't just side with dnd 5e forever.
i would but...

I'll second that vote
Found this neat little program and browsing through it mindlessly gave me an idea. I started clicking on random citizens/animals and looking into their thoughts and memories, then thought of the scenarios those citizens are in. It's an interesting practice in characterization/worldbuilding, and I'd like to see your takes on the thoughts and memories of random people.
James Richardson, for example, is watching his life flash before his eyes after being cut down in a shrimp-related incident.
>>44222995

>>44222995
>I'd like to see your takes on the thoughts and memories of random people.
It's more interesting to go people-watching somewhere and create wild scenarios for people you see when you're at a cafe or something.
It's a neat little time-waster but I don't think I'd use it for any serious world-building.
So tell me /tg/, how do you like/imagine magic looking?
Is it bright and colorful or invisible unless otherwise needed?
For instance, if a Wizard fired an energy beam would it be visible or invisible? If a creature is summoned would it appear in a great circle of glowing runes and wooshing or just appearing there?
I really dislike video gamey imagery of wizards firing lasers and lighting the place up in mystical glowing symbols every time they cast any spell. Just waving their hand and making things happen feels much more mysterious and miraculous to me.
It depends on the setting, character, and spells themselves, for me.
Grandiose arcane swirls and tempests of rainbow fit with high fantasy for me, while more subtle manipulations or invisible rituals carry over into something more Robert E Howard.
I admired the Lord of the Rings movies for keeping magic as (mostly) a strange practise. Most of Gandalf's spells in particular.
>>44222803
I have different fluff opinions on a case by case basis, NPC mages are typically bolts and incantations, but some of my characters include a Fae changeling who manipulates shadows, a pyromaniac revenant who is all fire all the time, and a senile old man whose magic manifests as a cloud of fairies he forgot he conjured doing things for him.
Somehow, my PCs managed to arrange a meeting with lvl 20 wizard living on an island realm within his own floating tower.
Now this guy is exceptionally powerful (archmage caste) and an epicure of the world. He collects the best of everything and everyone. Expensive and meta-expensive items and peple/creatures he can get for his collection. Not exactly evil, but will go to exceptional lenghts to get what he wants.
What should his home be like? I want stuff that will blow my players' minds.
Pic unrelated but intriguing
>>44222784
It looks like a complete mess, because it is a complete mess. The only person that knows where everything is is the Wizard.
Everywhere the players look they find trinkets and enchanted swords, Voodoo dolls, golden statues dedicated to the god of fertility, skulls from gigantic beasts, weird pets where in your plane of existence would be a KoS, Mummies, artifacts or items that have gone missing decades ago and no one has ever found the culprit, gilded armor and crowns from civilizations long extinct
The Wizard should have things from his travels of the world. Tattoos, Piercings, a hairstyle that doesn't quite fit his race
Scrying pools set up on major cities or political figures in the setting. Possibly portals to those locations in the same room.
Caged demons/dragons/feral vampires/other extremely dangerous magical creatures being kept somewhere like it's a petting zoo.
Within this "zoo" area, have the environments in each cage change. With some being hot arid deserts, and others being frigid artic snow. Don't explain how these effects are sustained or limited to such a small area.
Flying machines (assuming things like airships don't exist yet).
The tower itself is surrounded by flying creatures that have been enslaved or trained for security... or possibly even constructs.
Lighting within the tower is all magical. Also pathways of force or "lifts" that operate off magic.
Anything from Harry Potter (living paintings, levitating candles, shifting stairwells, ect).
On the island below the tower, there is a giant crater. Don't explain why. Perhaps multiple craters if there are multiple islands and the tower kinda floats from island to island.
Alchemical lab with items of unusual properties. Literal "liquid gold" at room temperature, metal that reforms itself if dented or grows like a plant, stone or obsidian that burns as if it were made of oil, ect.
If you've ever played Elder Scrolls/Skyrim, you could rip off a few Daedric artifacts equivalents and have those around.
Slightly related to the above, the Wizzard has female clones of himself as "companions"... or servants.
The tower is larger inside than it appears from outside.
I'm just ripping off games and anime now. Point is, copy stuff from media. The Zelda games have cool dungeons. Batman and Superman have cool lairs, ect.
>>44222784
Tear a page out of the books of the Telvanni from Morrowind.
You have to be able to fly just to effectively navigate his home - where any other building would have a grand spiral staircase, his just has an open, sheer-walled atrium so he can levitate between floors.
I need something cyberpunk that isn't as rule heavy as Shadowrun. Halp.
>>44222263
You could always tryGURPS
>>44222263
How rule heavy is Cyberpunk 2020?
I never played it.
Traveller?
plenty of cyber and punk. nice easy 2D6 system
