>Create a generic evil God as Big Bad.
>My players find it quite original
Is that good or bad now?
>>44171733
Well, how did you present the guy? They might find him original because of the way you acted him out of wrote him, even if the basis of his design is really generic.
I mean, do they enjoy it? Then it's a really really good thing. Hold onto those friends, anon.

shit like this always has 1 male elf.
fucking 1, how am I to build my army of only male elfs?
it's madness I tell you

Nah, more like Friends tier.
What's pretty cool are all the bricks in new flashy colours.
You could build a purple forest from the leaf pieces, and all sorts of cool shit. I wish I still cared about LEGO...
Hello /tg/ I've been a longtime lurker of the community, and recently due to an infatuation with early Russian history, I've wanted to start by seeing whether or not anyone would be interested, in a quest about it. This primarily covers the Early Muscovite period, in the middle to late Mongol Yoke. This period in time is where most of the Russian Asiatic culture gets its roots. Here's to hopefully a slightly informative, and hopefully fun alt-history adventure.

You are the son/daughter of Russian immigrants, who emigrated from the Soviet Union after its collapse in 1991. After arriving in the states, your parents would establish their careers before they had you, after half a decade adjusting to life in the United States. Your parents always encouraged you to adapt to American culture, and since you were born they talked to you about being glad you lived in the United States. Your parents are reasonably well off, and your life was spent in a relatively sheltered environment. However your parents encouraged you to go out and expand...

Yeah maybe running right now wasn't such as good idea.
What's some good mood-music for Necromunda?
Also, what's your favorite house/faction for a gang?
> using mood music in an RPG
How does it feel to be a shitty DM?
Seriously, I have seen mood music used seven times over my years of playing RPGs, and it has only been effective ONCE by someone who was a good DM anyway.
Either you play music that your players don't like and it pisses them off, or you time it shittily, or it's playing out of your shitty laptop speakers that you use at the table as an excuse to not be away from technology for more than five goddamn seconds to play a roleplaying game.
Music in RPGs is just terrible. That's why 90% of groups don't use it.
>>44171781
Necromunda is an oldschool tabletop skirmish game (though it does have a few RPG elements), and I was thinking of just having it play at low volume in the background. The standard heroic/glorious-charge type stuff doesn't seem to really be all that in-tone for Necromunda since your gangs are essentially scum bickering over scraps.
((On a completerly unrelated note, I've had background music work pretty well a few times in games I've run (I got positive comments on it from players afterwards), but it generally has to be used in moderation and you have to have set up the playlist to provide enough of the right tempo/theming for each scene/encounter you are using it during.))

mind, having to think about what to play while playing punk gang war the game doesn't speak well on OP
The continuing adventures of an anon and...and someone called Phanty. (Short for phantasm? A phantom? What sort of phantom?)
Things are going to get a little weirdddd for awhile as we struggle to form something out of ourselves.
The chaos will pass. A paradigm and set of habits will form.
We just need to be careful to form the right ones.

At first there was a rush of emotions. Anger, confusion. It came raw and fast and large. Your consciousness rode its wake into awareness,
And then it was like a dream. You looked and observed and moved. You felt a deep calm, a calm so deep you didn't even know to all it calm--until you had something to compare it to.
Such as anxiety.
"Do you want us to bring you something?" The red ghosts asks already nodding his head in advance or whatever you say.
You barely pay attention to him. Something is wrong...something doesn't feel right....something...

(Wow. I guess Monday just isn't a good day for quests! I even forgot to put my name up!)
>>44171443
To be specific, is something wrong with our BODY or is something wrong with our MIND?
That forces the storyline on a bit by having Imperium, Tau, Elder, Offshoots of Nercrons all working together for once.
It could be against Ork, Nids or Chaos or something else
Just why not?
>>44170580
they have
its the new MOBA-lite top down shooter
you have SoB working with Khorne Berserkers and Tau Ethereals!
>>44170580
Because not doing so earns them more dosh
Because cooperation is gay, and fuck you. It's a setting, not a plot.
I need to figure out what to get my SO, and was wondering if I could ask for help on here.
He uses the Pathfinder system, if that helps (but doesn't really enjoy using it; he only utilizes it for convenience). If I recall correctly, he's big on Mutants and Masterminds though.
Are there any M&M rulebooks that are nice looking? I already got him dice on a previous anniversary, and he also already has plenty of miniatures/dice holders. My options are thinning out.
Thanks in advance!
>>44170533
The hell is an SO?

Significant Other. I could have said boyfriend but I feel that's kinda shallow, haha

Have you considered Queens Blade figures? A surprising amount of /tg/ are QB fans.
HE'S ALIVE
No surprise there. Cool how he plays on the reader's expectations.
He looks really fucked up though, kind of a bad shape to enter combat in.
And Belkar continues to be best member of the Order.
Thog when?

Good morning Touhoufag.
>>44169698
>Gunslinger
Not fancy, just a duster/leather armor (yes I know it's unrealistic).
>Brawler
Sorta fancy, but more "wrestler's iconic outfit" than "suit and tie."
>Inquisitor
Dressed sharply, but the suit itself isn't overdesigned or anything.
In an uncharacteristic stroke of open-mindedness, my DM is letting me play a Warder, but since I'm brand new to PoW I have a couple of questions.
As a zweihander sentinel, is the only way I can pick up Silver Crane maneuvers through taking the Advanced Study feat? And if I want to switch out readied maneuvers, does it take the same amount of time as it does to initially prepare them?
Don't you hate it when DMs pull this shit?
"Oh, this is an early medieval tech level. Except when I want to throw some 'steampunk' in. O-oh, the guns? Well, uh. They're magic guns. And uh."
>>44169687
why wouldn't there be magic guns? people cast magic. they can enchant things to make them do magic when they aren't around to do magic themselves. it can do all the functional things of an exploding shell with none of the chemistry. do you actually have any real arguments against a fantasy setting having an earlier development of guns relative to a real world time line?
Guns in fantasy are great, except when introduced like this.
I mean, it was probably meant as the "big shocking reveal", but if you're going to do that, have someone show up to a siege with a cannon brigade. Late medieval cannons were scary as hell.
This comic is weird, because it's like the entire goal is to make you dislike every person in it, and they're succeeding triumphantly.
So Here are the New Updated Rules:
1. Game Change: Switching each turn to a season, I think this is going to make things a lot better.
2. I will launch each season with a random event based on tables I have.
3. For you to take a valid turn you must link the new season random event and use the following format.
"Research"
"I want to research this type of technology"
(include a 1d20 roll if you wish to research)
"Build"
"I WIsh to build this random thing"
(No role required but you must have appropriate material)
"Trade"
"These are the trades I agreed upon last season"
(You can make as many as you want but they do not take effect untill you list them in your action the following turn"
"Citizen/people"
"I want to explore this/attack tha/ Build ships"
(This is how you use your population, Note exploring territory does not make it yours untill you sieve it with troops.)
First turn to follow, I will not be able to reply to your turns till 11:30 am EST
DO NOT BLOW UP THIS THREAD WITH TRADE, UNTILL I RETURN USE THE GENERAL
If I come back to over 100 replies over trade deals I will not be able to catch up and run the game Properly.
Rolled 12 (1d20)
Summer is here, I will tell you the results of the random event when I return, sorry for the innconvenience I'm so fucking pissed I went from having an hour prep to being 30 minutes late

Its cool dude, dont worry about it. You got a life to lead, we understand. After all, minis and shit dont come for free.
Is this the post we need to link to or is it a different one?

You just cannot catch a break with regards research
What's the strongest pure melee class in 3.5? (Besides muscle wizards.)
Cleric or Druid
Warblade/some tome of battle class is probably the est you can do if you want no spellcasting.
>>44169288
Cleric, followed by druid
mtg roleplayer here.
I've rolled a depressed character, one that thinks "I'm a failure, maybe ending myself would be a good idea". What kind of mana would she wield?
>>44169129
Personally I think that it's either white, green or red. Blue much less likely and absolutely not black.
>>44169129
blue because all blue mages should kill themselves.
>>44169129
I think blue/black is the crazy schizophrenic colors. might also be a suicidal person too.
I hate when people say that dragons smaller than large size are a problem.
>Saint George the level 7 paladin and the juvenile black dragon
>implying /tg/ games even get to level 7
>>44168854
>>44168870
That's depressing. Level 7 is right in the middle of 3.pf's sweet spot. Beyond like level 12 you're in the wizard justice league
John Blanche, Adrian Smith, Karl Kopinski. Choose one.
>>44168668
Adrian Smith for consistency, but if I had to pick one piece it would be a Blanche
