Is bombarding your enemies with gif related the most irresponsible use of illusion powers or dream manipulation?

Dude. Just make some Zentradi Sororitas. That's a damn near chocolate and peanut butter perfect combination.
Also, I imagine that some decent sci-knowledge would allow you to recreate the growth and micronization tech so that any of your current companions could be upgraded post jump. That sound about right to you, Red?Waffles are not sandwiches, captcha. But now I'm kinda wanting...

So, should I do one jump at a time and figure out what I do in each one or string a bunch together and plan them ahead?
This is Boruto Quest, a quest set in the universe of Naruto. It is during the generation of Naruto's son, shortly after everyone has graduated from their Genin exam. I haven't kept up with the series beyond the end of the original one, so this one is intended to recapture the feel of that time of Naruto. I will not be incorporating the main show or the Boruto movie's plot into the quest, although some recognizable characters will be present. You play as a 12 year old Genin graduate named Takeshi. You have been assigned a Jounin squad leader named Hanto, and your...

Hey, everyone. We're going to speed through these last few choices and get the tournament fights started tonight! I'll probably only run for a few hours, but things are going to move fast.

It's the next morning, once you're done with your Sealing Jutsu training with Shikamaru. You mentally look back on how you had been before the month started as you slowly awaken, and a sense of shock overwhelms you. The difference between the things you could do and how you are at this...

Three years have passed since our world first came under attack from invaders from another world. These invaders, Neighbours, entered into our world through gates in Mikado City. Conventional weapons had no effect on these enemies; however when all hope seemed lost, the Border Defense Agency (Border) fought back the invasion using mysterious weapons utilising the weapons known as "triggers", allowing the use of trion to battle. Today, life in Mikado City goes on as normal, Border serving as our world's protection from the inhabitants of the Neighbourhood.
You...

Excited flamer drones addition
Hello everyone and welcome to ShitterNormie's Machine Civ part 2!
>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!...

I missed thread 2, sadly, but I'm glad to see this civ still going.

Look in to researching the memory files and start developing defences
I'm going to try and play a character who has a mutation, although the GM said I'll auto-fail every diplomacy and charisma roll if I do. How do I get around this?
>>44214926
What's the mutation? You didn't give a whole lot of information.
Also, its the GM's game, he can do whatever he wants and you probably won't be able to do anything about but talk to him.
>>44214926
By not playing in that GM's game.
Or explaining why you will auto-fail. That might help.
by not playing in a WWII Germany Gurps setting, seriously not everybody is THAT ablest

Comfy DM thread?
>>44214460
>Comfy DM thread?
What's supposed to actually go in this thread? Stories of GMs doing nice shit for their players? That would require players to be appreciative, which is seems unlikely.
>Your character fall into a pit-trap and dies
>The DM gives you a hug
Is this ok?
>>44214460
I own a cafe as part of a garden center.
My brothers group meet there every week. The tables are spacious. The chairs are comfy. There is hot chocolate, tea, coffee, bacon sandwiches and all manner of snacks and treats.
I tried to make it all good.
Then they took the piss and started bringing in their own food.
I feel pissed off and betrayed. Is this a normal feeling?
Also if they are going to be taking up half the cafe and not buying anything should I charge them for table space?
Can we have a thread dedicated to Fate? I got to play it fairly recently, and as a former nay-sayer, I'm pretty impressed with it. It's a well built little game.
>>44214329
Sure.
I was really excited to play FATE. Then I played it. Over a handful of sessions my DM never invoked an aspect of mine. I could only really punch things because I put that at the top of my pyramid since no one else took anything close to combat. We did not get our max fate points each session, sometimes it was 2-3 sessions before we would get points.
Game was still fun, and I had fun with the guys. But I was not impressed by FATE.
>>44216040
Maybe I'm missing something, but it seems like your problem has nothing to do with the system and everything to do with the DM.
>>44216066
It honestly might. But it's the only experience I have to go on. I'm not saying I wouldn't give the system another shot, but it really didn't wow me.
But I do think the pyramid thing was limiting my ability to do much non-combat. But maybe that was just me mis-remembering.
So I got this.
>>44214221
It's fine Anon, we all have our regrets...
>>44214221
I'm so sorry.

How would you play the roleplay side of a mech based campaign?Not Evangelion please.
I dunno, whatever I think would be interesting I guess?
Both Mekton Zeta and MechWarrior have advice on that.
Ran a Battletech campaign for a bit before schedulign issues tore it apart. ANd I just ran everyone as part of a military unit. They were stationed at a specific base, mapped out the surrounding area, had plenty of NPCs both Military and Civilian to interact with. Sent them on training runs, had them fight pirates and "pirates that oddly speak the language and use the mechs of our hostile neighbors". Had some of the hijinks that ensue on a backwater base, gambling rings, black marketeers, surprise inspections. It was a little bit Generation Kill+Robotech+Sgt Bilko.
One of my players thinks cyclops are cool and has asked me to include some in my campaign. I think they're stupid, but I like it when players do things by their own initiative, so I'm gonna do it, somehow.
I figure someone on /tg/ has to have opinions or mythological savvy when it comes to these things. Tell me, /tg/, what makes a cyclops anything but a sillier version of a giant?
The Wikipedia article will tell you everything you need to know. Cyclops have several distinct characteristics that distinguish them from giants. They are children of the gods. They were the helpers of Hephaestus at his forge. They created the thunderbolts of Zeus, Poseidon's trident, Hades' helmet and the bows of Artemis and Apollo. In the Odyssey, Polyphemus the cyclops was a shepherd who lived in a cave. He was a man-eater, and he could call upon the aid of Poseidon when attacked by Odysseus.
>>44214356
And keep in mind, a cyclops COULD be intelligent, they're just gullible. So if you want to make him someone cultured who's just gullible as fuck, go ahead.
>>44214356
That's pretty good. The players expect one-eyed, brutish fatsacks, but they run into towering monsters in flawless steel armour, hurling spears forged out of lightning while being gleefully evil and cannibalistic. Maybe I'll have them be related to Talos or something. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
pls explain
no one knows?
Rumor mongering? just wait another 24 hours and don't spoil like a douche.

English speakers are getting real tired of your babytalk, SW universe.
Hai /tg/, let's make a setting based on Sleep's Dopesmoker cover.

I'm pretty sure Talislanta already has this covered (including windship in top left).
Dune.
Hammerfell?
I’m trying to calculate some stuff in AnyDice. I’m designing a dice mechanic based around throwing a number of dice and keeping the highest, which is fairly easy to output, BUT I'd want to add a parameter where if two dice show the same result (i.e a pair) then you count both of them as a single die in terms of what you keep. Would someone know if this can be coded, and if so how?
>>44212909
Sadly, I have no idea. I tend to do the tricky stuff like that in Excel, which, granted, can be a bit time consuming.
Not sure about anydice, but I use R to deal with all of my rolling + weird mechanic edits.
>>44213178

I'm trying to google that but I can't find keywords that yield any logical results
So, I have to ask, has anyone been punished, or outright kicked from their groups for getting too into character?
I ask this, because I was kicked out of my online DnD group(long story short, a few of them seem to have it out for me, but most of them seem to have no problem with me at all or not care one way or the other) over a one-shot campaign where we were doing a John Carpenter's the Thing based game.
I was playing an asshole chemist, I made no short knowledge that my character did not have much of a moral compass. So when a small group of us donned bio-suits...

That's kind of ironic, considering the conflict in The Thing is 98% about the research team turning on each other and suspecting one another of being the monster.
Without context, it's hard to say whether they were fair or not. Online interaction in particular is harder because there's fewer tells (that is, it's pretty easy to have a misunderstanding go too far).
I used to make "Evil" aligned characters.I used to play in systems with alignments.
Then I learned that roleplaying wasn't a videogame and stopped being a faggot.

>Then I learned that roleplaying wasn't a videogame
Please explain what you mean with that.
