>Yesterday, I had met an individual that inspired me to make this thread.
Do you have any stories of the strange people that you've come to meet sense you got into tabletop gaming?
>Every once in a while, I drive two hours up the road to visit my friend and play boardgames with his buddies.
>But while I'm there, I always have to visit this one used bookstore that has a great section on old role playing game books.
>So we go, and immediately make a bee line to that section and start rummaging around for anything interesting.
>While looking around, I'm suddenly startled by someone shouting right behind me. He practically yelled directly in my ear.
>"SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS PLAY?"
>We turn to see a fat, little man, standing no larger than 5 feet staring intensely at us.
>I won't exaggerate for the sake of telling a story. He didn't stink, and he didn't seem unfriendly at first, he was just very loud, and very odd looking.
>I explained, "Well, mostly we play older versions of D&D, and Warhammer Fantasy. A little bit of everything, I guess."
>This is apparently where I made the mistake...
>I ask "what sort of stuff are you in to?" while I go back to looking through the books.
>"I AM GLAD YOU ASKED, ACTUALLY! MY GROUP IS CURRENTLY PLAYING AN RPG OF MY OWN DESIGN. YOU SEE, THE WORLD IS MADE OF FIVE INTERCONNECTED PLANAR NATIONS THAT ARE DIVIDED BY PORTALS. IN THIS WORLD, CHILDREN ARE BORN WITH SUPERPOWERS LIKE THOSE OF THE XMEN OR DC HEROES, BUT IT'S IN MEDIEVAL TIMES. TECHNOLOGY HAS ADVANCED TO BE LIKE THAT OF THE LATE 1800'S THOUGH, SO YOU CAN CARRY GUNS. WE'RE ACTUALLY LOOKING TO GET MORE PEOPLE INTO OUR GROUP."
>I explain that we're not actually from around here, but to be nice, I start to ask him questions about his setting.
>Every question is met with, "NO! I MUST HAVE NOT EXPLAINED THAT PART. LET ME RETELL YOU." But he had a really rude tone.
>He then proceeds to follow us for a little bit, explaining the lore and characters of his magical realm...

Soooooo... not medieval times, then?
>>44160664
Seems to be a contradiction in terms there.

>continuing the conversation with Long Island Anon from the last thread
Are you looking to play, or just to meet up?
I could do any of those days, but it would have to be after work. Say, 6pm or later.
They seem to get a small croud for miniatures on Monday nights. Usually Infinity or Warmachine, but the owner and I have been trying to get Flames of War or Team Yankee up and running there as well.
To be honest, Team Yankee is probably the thing that will get the most traction there. I have one other player signed up already, and there might be a few of the Monday Night Miniatures people looking to start Team Yankee as well.
my dreams of winning with Hero Tankovy are coming closer!
well, or at least, making the attempt
>>44111171
Got six T-72s sprayed up already. Pretty hype for the weekend release!
Let's do a writing/thought excercise in world-building and restraint, /tg/
I need you to make a setting that has the culmination of all your major fetishes, except it has to be safe for work. It can be suggestive in some regards, but it cannot contain sexual content in any means.
You'll want to try to water down and hide your fetishes as much as possible, as well as being a decent enough setting that others may want to actually play it, such that other anons will have to guess what your fetishes are.
For instance, I'll start:
>>44092763
It's an early Greecian themed setting taking place in a Cretian/Minoan based civilization, The upper crust of society closely resembles the Boros faction of Ravnica with Divine Powered Minotaur Paladins serving as the Human nobles' enforcers. You have Neanderthal/Gigantopithecus/Vanara/Inbred Humans/Early Hominid Cavemen races serving as the lower class to which they're more treated closer to slaves than citizens, because of how abject the power of the noble class is. To make matters worse, much of the populous beleives the noble's places in society are rightful because of the lower classes lack of intelectual capacity and the divine power and religious propaganda displayed by nobles and their enforcers.
Additionally there's vagely Celtic/Irish themes tossed into the mix, Such as Celtic Knot Labyrinths, and a rouge faction of Huldra and the like that persuade and lure men and women away to use for guerrilla warfare (sometimes literally gorilla warfare) against the nobles and this primative society as a whole. It'll play a lot like Dark Sun in gameplay theme, short of the lack of defiling, being replaced with prevalent Ur-Priestdom and the extreme presence of divine power in the corrupt churches and ravaged wilderness. Like Dark Sun, Psionics are just as common in that even the dull and dim witted primates of the lower class can display wild talents and powers, however it is largely restrained by the Churches as heretical and a manifestation of want and sin, unless ordaned by officials of the church themselves to tasks such as reinforcing the web of propaganda they have spun. Various City-States are headed by supposed Demi-Gods and ruled by differing churches and ideologies that almost always seem to be gearing to war with one another, but that's just a ploy by the various forces that be to try to force industry and productivity.
So /tg/ what do you have?
Can you spot the fetishes?
Can we stop with the "magical realm" shit already? It was funny at first, but now it's just fucking sad.
>>44092770
Sounds like you have a serious inflation kink.
>>44092804
Alternatively, stop replying in threads you dislike, and only reply in threads you enjoy.
Can we have a thread of awesome conversations and great paintjobs?
Looking for steampunk/dungeonpunk/Victorian-with-magic/whatever you want to call it characters. Any gender, any race, any class, anything.

Round two, senpai?
I'm not sure what this counts as but I'm posting it for like the third time because its great
Hey anons
Post awesome character art, if you will.
I need it for reasons
I'll post what I got
Looking for anything specific?
Describe your experience with tabletop roleplaying with one image.

Pretty much.

>Dear Anonymous,
>You are cordially invited to participate in the Grand Summit, a gathering of royalty and nobility located from every realm of fantasy. Begin your day with our elegant breakfast and enjoy a morning of leisure. The dining hall will remain until late afternoon and feature many a la carte snacks as well as proper meals for all your breakfast, tea, and luncheon needs. There will be an open meeting in the courtyard beginning shortly after noon for the various leaders to discuss any important topics on fully neutral terms, and a formal dinner and ball beginning at sundown. Throughout the day feel free to notify our staff if there is anything you require or desire and we will do our best to provide.
>Due to the nature of this gathering, a certain level of protections are in place. There are wards and security staff all over the premises. Despite these measures I encourage you to bring your own defenses as we cannot fully guarantee anyone's safety. The house will attempt to expel those who cause problems, but we are not responsible for any accidents or conflicts that take place during the meeting.
>You are allowed to bring as many guests as you wish, but anyone that disturbs the peace or does not comply with the expected formalities of this gathering will be removed from the premises.
>Among our expected guests include nobles from every race and way of life, including but not limited to Drow clans, Vampire covens, Elven and Human nations, and even the Faerie Court. Please be aware of the many customs around you and the fact that not everyone here will follow yours.
>We hope to see you soon.
Character art thread, looking for non medieval fantasy characters
Hey /tg/, let's have an image thread of some treasures, items and the like that might be useful for campaigns.
Be it conventional loot, artwork, enchanted objects or accessories, let's see what we've got.
I wonder what might be up with this creepy little bastard. When I stumbled across it, I thought it would make for a great cursed item... But I'm not sure what to have it do.
Gold Legos.
I don't really think there has to be more to it than that. Sounds like a toy for royalty... or a baby dragon.
Image limit reached, initiate new thread protocols.
character art thread: bowman edition
post your requests for anything, though
>>44103906
Image limit reached boys, new thread
character art thread
Items, weapons and gadgets
the last thread went well, so lets go again
this time its not limited to fantasy
>>44082709
I really like these police guns.
Post your favorite armor sets here. Any system, any setting.
Chitin.
Alternatively, hide. I don't care if its functional or smelly or whatever - fur = luxury, warmth and bulk.
Keep trying to find images of rhino hide armor, so far haven't.
