Boy was the last thread a fucking Roller coaster of insanity.
When we last left out hero, Gabriel, you had just laid with your Elven friend, Holly, through a series of nat 20s.
Besides that, you have discovered where the secrets of your past might lay. On the Line, where the Imperium and the Telvish have been fighting for over 200 years. Some where in that war torn hell hole lies the Golem Forge.
Hollys parents have obtained a large fortune from a distant relative who passed away, and through some pursious on your part, have approved of their Daughters lust for adventure, and will be financing for expedition. While they are busy sorting that out, and while you await for the Master Smith to finish building your new armor and mods, you spend some more time at the Library, searching for more answers.
First you search for books on Golemancy, and find nothing of relative interest.
Next you search for any records of sightings of Underkin after their flight fallowing The Big One. Records in the Palace Library reveal that several times in the past 25 years, unknown ships have been sighted off the Southern coast of the Imperium, but these sightings are few and far between, and the strange ships vanish far into uncharted waters before they can be investigated.
>>44191261
The name 'SilverCog' comes up once, in a document recovered from a Under Kingdom Ruin. It states that she volunteered for the Mark Two Golem Program, and was a 'Successful Transfer'. What ever that means.
Further investigation into the Mark Two program bares little fruit. All you can find is that the Program started one year before the Big One.
All of this research makes your head hurt. Which is something you didn't even know was possible. You decide to take a break.
As you begin to get up from the specially constructed chair, your grip your head in pain. This is an alien feeling to you.
You pass out.
When you awaken you are no longer in the Library. You are in someones house. It doesn't take you long to realize this is a memory.
Your body is not the rough pipe construct it was before. You have a strange body of metal and wood. You wear the laughter of children in the other room.
What do you do?
>>44191999
Investigate sounds.
>>44192078
Walking in this body feels... right? You think thats the right word. You lumber into the next room and find 5 children all playing a game together. Your memory tells you that these children age 12, 10, two 6 year olds (twins) and 3 year old. One of the twins looks up at you.
"Hey look!" She yells. "One is awake!" all of them abandon their game and run to you.
"Mom said he'd be asleep all day!" The oldest says, he is a short little boy, with black hair and the typical leathery Dwarven skin. "Wanna play with us One? You can be the Butler!"
The names of these children are lost to you, but you remember that they are CilverCogs kids. All of them. One of the twins crawls onto you back. "His new body is so cool!" She says.

Jumpers when was the last time you fucked up a plan and the results were better then expected?
A np that's A++ to EX costs 800 sp right ? And can I take drawbacks from the fate/ jump and the servant supplement

That time a random pokemon I keep around accidentally fell into one of my F.E.V pits he did not turn into an abomination against nature
What's the best way to keep players interested at the start of a campaign? I keep resorting to shit like "bandit attacks" and even if there is a deeper reason behind it, its usually to early to let them know about it. What are some more creative early level encounters? Pic unrelated.
>>44190431
The start of a campaign is the best time for them to be reactionary, swept up in events. It's the time that their characters are the least defined, they're the least comfortable in their characters, and the characters have the most room for growth.
It's also when your plot is the least established and the details are most fluid.
It's the best time to just have the plot snatch the players up and get things going, why would anyone start the story with filler content?
>>44190923
A* post, this is where you can test your players, maybe kill off or retire a character if they want to make a last minute swap.
>>44190431
That cat has a sexy face.
Would people on /tg/ be interested in a Kult-quest or is it to plot heavy/slow? And is there even room for another Quest?
>is there room for another quest
Since when has that ever stopped anyone
>>44190340
Well, I for one would be interested.
I've been trying to get a hold of physical copies of the Kult books, but they are damn near impossible to find.
>>44191873
So I have at least one ''player''!
I got lucky with the kult stuff. Just need a copy of Fallen Angels to complete my collection.

I have the power (sword)!
It's a big Galaxy. Just call it an isolated feudal world with a chaos/mutant problem.
>Except He-Man
I disagree. He-Man is mash up of scifi and fantasy with little logic to make a glorified toy commercial.
Basic Gist of it, tell me about the most awesome/badass/inspiring character you either played or had the chance to witness in action. Be it WH40K, DND, Pathfinder, or any role playing board game (Even a custom one).
Reminder that Ollanius Pius was retconned into being a perpetual as well, basically eliminating his entire reason to exist in the first place
>>44189979
Most badass character I ever witnessed was a level 1 fighter, rather generic build, mail bastard sword and a shields,( over the course of the session that shield broke no less than 7 different weapons) , during climax with cult leader proceeds to rip the leader in two using his shield as a anvil on 1st turn
>>44190243
This.
Modern Ollanius Pius a shit.
Hey guys, I'm back. Sorry that it took so long for a new thread, but life happened.
If your're new and want to know what this is all about, you can read through the archive and such at: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=awoken+overlord+quest
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Your name is Alice and you've been the Overlord for a few weeks now. Or you might be dreaming, you're not really certain yet. In this time, you started with a little group of goblins and a ruined castle. Now you're mostly at a slightly larger group of goblins and a bit less ruined castle. Still, there is much work to do if you want to return to the former glory of your precedessors.
Yesterday, you took your goblins to the forest and managed to capture a boar which you hope will be the start of a lifestock which will one day feed all of your subordinates without being dependent of occasional scavenging. Its morning now and your goblins assemble around you and wait for orders.
>What should we do, Alice?
Kislax asks.
Todays orders are...
>Search for food/something helpful with food production (specify)
>Search for building/crafting materials (same here)
>Scout the forest for anything special (possible recruits, special places, a feeling of adventure...)
>Find something/someone to fight for yourself/your army
>Start taming the boar (you? a goblin? two? all?)
>Other (write in)
Today, we recommend a slight side of bump with the thread. Also, another glass of wait?
>>44189651
>Start taming the boar (you? a goblin? two? all?)
You and three goblins. Start by beating it senseless until it learns to fear.
Any other opinions? Usually I go by two (if many people are here, three) votes for one thing.
I started reading Exalted and synopsis of setting is really interesting.
During my reading I started imagining Exalted as warriors, generals, and leaders of men. Combination of Alexander the Great's mind and charisma; with Hercules strength to back it up.
To mind also comes how China retells their history in “greater than life” fashion. China's Warring States or Three Kingdoms period. Mighty Generals fighting in duels on the battlefields.
So far so good. Now where my mind hits hard on the breaks is when I started reading on the Caste chapter. When reading on descriptions I felt they were just reskined D&D classes.
Dawn – warrior
Zenith – holy warrior, paladin, warrior-priest
Twilight – wizards
Night – rogue, assassins
Now because I see them as a standard dnd party I don’t know what to do with them.
The way they are described Dawn and Zenith cast are not the problem (and in some regard Night) They all pretty much go well with the way I envisioned Exalted. What I have problems with are Twilight and Eclipse. I don't know what to do with diplomats, scholars and sorcerers. I just don’t see them as ass-kickers. I don't know what role they should fulfill.
So here are the questions:
1. What roles should I give to scolars, wizards and diplomats so they don’t feel like dnd party?
2. what kind of stories do you run in Exalted?
>>44189129
Not sure why you made another thread when the general is there, but here goes.
The Eclipse, and to a lesser extent the Twilight, are there because Exalted features things you can't just punch to death. Look at the Eclipse anima powers; you can walk into a Fae/Demon stronghold and be certain that you won't be harmed. If you're in a game where you could just punch your way into the stronghold anyway, then the ability to negotiate with the various bastards of Creation is basically worthless. If that's the game you're playing, then no one should have to play an Eclipse.
Similarly, the Twilight is good at things that aren't straight up punching. They're broad enough to accommodate whatever "expert" concept you had in mind. If your game is just all punching all the time, then you don't need it to contain Twilights.
Both of these Castes can kick ass. I played an Eclipse and kicked more ass than the rest of the party combined, partly because I actually paid attention to character creation and partly because my best weapons could be used in public without calling down the Hunt. But they're focused on situations that can't be solved by hitting it really hard. If the GM doesn't use those situations, the players don't have to use those Castes.
>>44189129
The archetypical twilight is king Solomon. The archetypical eclipse is literally any "a stranger came and united the feuding tribes into one people."
Eclipse Caste are the figures who forge alliances, build kingdoms, and run organizations that change the world. Not just with humans, but supernatural factions like spirits and the elements as well.
Twilight Caste are the genius artificers, artists, scavengers, engineers, healers, detectives, and sorcerers. They build and protect wonders and other stores of great knowledge.

Character sheet: http://pastebin.com/4keHKgX4

This all started when you escaped Kagutsuchi's trap, bending the blazing demon's will to your own purposes in the process. Then, after proving that you were of noble blood – or, at least, that one member of your group claimed membership of a prestigious heritage – you stepped through the portal to the Intoxicating One's fortress. Walking down marble streets flanked by golden palaces, you passed a river of dark wine and countless inhuman slaves, creatures born out of the snow and mud of this world. Descending into the waterways beneath the city, you fought the high priest of a debauched faith, drowning him in his own rich wine.
Your name is Mia Vespucci, and you can't rule out the possibility that this is all a dream.
But perhaps that is what the divine fragments can do, allowing a demon to force their fevered dreams upon the blank canvass of reality. Amelia said as much, but seeing a place like this for yourself is a whole other matter. This world, a vision of golden indulgence, must be a kind of window into the Intoxicating One's mind.
Enough to tell you, it would seem, that he has no taste or moderation – and that he likes mazes far too much.
>>44188629
Without ever deciding on a destination, your little group finds itself wandering through these subterranean tunnels, following the sluggishly flowing river of wine. It flows, consistently, in one direction – although the destination itself remains a mystery – and you've got nothing else to go on. At least there are none of those gaudily painted servitors blocking your path, allowing you free reign of this dismal world.
Eventually, the wine's unhurried flow leads you to – of course – another precarious abyss, this one equipped with a spiralling staircase leading towards the bottom. With collective sighs, you begin the long march down, nobody daring to raise the issue of getting back up. This trip has been a wearisome one, and that trend does not appear to be changing. As you descend, you can't help but notice how pale and drawn Petra looks, her injury at Katugsuchi's hands dogging her, even with Nadja's best magic aiding her.
At the bottom of that grand spiral staircase, you are greeted by a welcome sight – a short corridor, with no branches or diversions. At the end, slumped within a great, gilded cage – you are reminded, absurdly, of a birdcage – is the man you're here to find. Not that you realised it straight away, though – Leon has been crudely daubed with a riot of colours until he takes after the false humans you passed on your way here. A heavy iron collar is clamped around his neck, with a thick chain leading down into some hidden recess. Slowly, with a caution you can't quite explain, you approach.
As you draw close, you see another pleasant sight – the keys, dangling just far enough away as to be unreachable from within the cage. The heavy ring of keys rattles as you lift it up, and Leon's head raises with them.
>>44188633
“You,” he groans, his voice thick with fatigue and a long period of either shouting or disuse. You picture both options – Leon howling curses and profanity, or sitting in a sullen silence – and decide on the former. “You came,” Leon adds a second later, dragging you back to reality, “You really fuckin' came.”
Well, you say with that same creeping uncertainty, of course you did.
“Aye, right,” the chain around his neck draws taut as Leon tries to rise, keeping him locked in that slump, “So are you gonna get me outta here, or what?”
Taking the first key in hand – gold, of course, like the cage you presume it unlocks – you step close to the door and reach out to open it. From then, the iron key would likely open that cruel and brutal collar, granting Leon total freedom.
You hesitate.
He came here willingly, that was what Kagutsuchi had said. Can you really trust someone who came here to talk with the Intoxicating One, to bargain with the king of slavers? What right-minded soul would ever decide to come here alone, even with treachery planned?
“Come on!” Leon urges you, in a raspy whisper, “Get the fuckin' lock!”
>Right, I'll free you immediately
>Why did you come here?
>I can't risk letting you out. You're compromised
>Other
>>44188639
>>Why did you come here?
Don't tell him what we know. Let him explain things in his own words
Check your equipment and get it ready for transit men, we've received new orders and it we'll get to go somewhere hopefully pleasant this time.
If we're really that lucky.
I don't know, Alice...
Do you think the inquisition will let anyone out in orbit while Amelia is running free out there?
DA! I am of sober and totally not infested with anything!
Where are we goings? I should know, am a major nowadays? Somehow...
>Holds up banner, saying "Fair Monay's for da Kills!"
>23K holds up another banner "Shoot to Deal!"
How do you make a spooky player character without making them undead?
Make them a fully dead ghost.
Let's turn this up a notch.
How do you make a spooky, non-edgy PC, in a way that most DMs (not most GOOD DMs, most DMs) will allow?
Be "cursed" but never give the details. Never sleep with the party.
Wear a mask with a very happy face on it at all times.
Take a tuft of hair, a tooth, or an eye from everything you kill. Don't tell anyone what you're saving them for.
Wander off into the woods and return hours later with some unidentifiable meat. Don't offer any to the other PCs.
Use thieves cant to speak nonsense to random people and have them respond to you in kind without ever explaining what was said.
Carry a book with you. Whenever you kill a humanoid flip through the book and cross something out before quickly closing it.
In the middle of social conversations focus intensely on something else like a cat sitting in the corner, the floor boards beneath your feet, or the ticking of a clock. Never respond the first time you're addressed.
Spend every long rest whispering to and pondering the contents of a puzzle box (DC 22 Int Check to open) with a look of wonder on your face. Whatever is inside gives off an eerie glow. Quickly close it and hide it if anyone notices.
What does /tg/ think of Overlord? The series itself was inspired by a campaign of D&D that the author played with his friends, including the author of Log Horizon and Maoyuu I believe.
It has a lot of neat D&D stuff, like artifacts, caster levels and classes all of them pretty similar to D&D's barring a few modifications. Hell, at some point when the main character fights seriously, he starts using contingency spells and metamagic feats like it was nobody's business. You can't get more D&D than that.
>>44188224
This sounds good. I might start watching it.
Dub or sub?
>>44188224
Its okay. Not great but okay. I'm honestly waiting for the parts where the dragons get off their asses and actually do shit to shove Nazarick's face in.
>>44188231
Subbed, I don't think there's a dub out yet.
Hello, /tg/.
I have a passion for miniatures and tabletop games. I'm also a pretty decent drawfag with a penchant for monsters and fantasy/sci-fi characters. I tend to write lots of homebrew games - skirmish wargames, tabletop dungeon crawlers and similar -, since it relaxes me and every now and then I manage to produce something quite good and playable too. And lately I've been experimenting with 3d sculpting. This all leads to the conclusion that I would really, really love to be able to design and print my own miniatures for my games.
With that in mind, is there any 3D printer capable of printing decent quality 35mm miniatures, with a price range below the four digits? I've been looking around but I don't have much technical knowledge on the matter yet, so for example I don't know what's the printing resolution range I should be looking for, and so on.From what I saw so far I've almost lost hope ... almost.
>>44188068
You might want to take a look at the Maplin website, or to just ram "3D Printer" into Google. It's gonna be pricey no matter what, but depending on your budgetI'm assuming you're a 'Murkan, so everything's in dolleridoosyou should be able to get a decent printer.
>>44188342Actually European, but euro and USD are pretty much the same, with the exception of the latter being stronger and on the rise on exchange valueAlso I was somewhat led to believe dollaridoos meant 'straya dollars, for some weird reason, but anyway
Thank you for the suggestion, but I'm mostly looking for advice on the technical features I should be looking for.
For example, I can see a printer has a 50 micron layer resolution, but I don't know wheter this means it will print my detailed rifleman model decently or just give me a hairy potato.
>>44188441
50 microns is 0.05mm, so that seems like a pretty decent quality for detailed riflemen, even at 28mm. Hell, you could probably print some 40k models at that quality and not get a second glance in a GW shop. What really matters is the printer style, which is what'll cost you the big bucks. Unfortunately, I don't know enough about 3D printer styles to tell you the difference between styles, so it'd be down to you to do your research.
We had a good thread two days ago, let's discuss again. I want to run a game that feels like the Souls series (counting bloodborne in), in a different setting from the existing one but still coherent with the lore. I need the system to be lethal but fair and I want death to be a part of the learning process (in the beginning at least)
Here are a few idea to begin:
How could we use covenants?
Does RuneQuest give enough mechanics to play like a souls game?
If not, what mechanics from what system could we borrow? Or what system could we use instead?
Any idea for the setting?
>>44187740
>death to be part of the learning process
Well the question there is how do you make it so that death isn't something trivial? It needs to still "sting" to be a learning experience. In the Souls games dying lowers max HP; in Bloodborne that doesn't happen but you're still at risk of losing all your accrued blood-souls-currency. How could you translate that to tabletop?
I would suggest a "party pool" of the aforementioned currency to draw on, to reinforce the idea of group play instead of FromSoft singleplayer emphasis. If the healer dying is just as bad as the tank dying, both know they need to fucking do their jobs to keep each other alive. (And yes, I've been in games where herp derp I'm not going to carry out my combat role in combat happened so sometimes it is necessary to encourage proper combat behaviour)
Covenants.. honestly, they don't do that much in-game beyond giving you access to special items so I don't know how much you'd want them to do in this.
>>44187857
In the Souls' series the main currency is Souls, which is used to power oneself up. Someone in the last thread brought out that death could mean going back to Step 1 as all the souls leave your dead body.
Also, covenants could be mainly for RP
>OP mentions my Thread
>INEXPLICABLE JOY
I feel like Bloodborne could be run with a very modified Ravenloft/that pf conversion it has, i think I have ir around somewhere.
I'd suggest for either setting a "Sanity/Hollowing" mechanic, upon wich you suffer minor stat drain/max hp los/decreased saves(frenzy saving throws?) until you consume a rare ítem (Humanity, in ds! Stone of Ephemeral eyes if DeS and maybe visiting the Hunters Dream for BB)
I think we can just modify/homebrew some stuff and run it mostly on a more exploration-fighting system. I only used PF DnD and Legend of the Five Rings before so idk.
