Hey, /tg/. I've recently become interested in DMing. I've run a few D&D sessions, and they went pretty well, but I'm looking for something a little more simple, preferably that works well with 1 or 2 players. I want to start with less rules and more roleplay and fun, so I can get into the swing of things. Any DM tips also welcome.
OP here. Mutants and Masterminds stood out to me. I only have 1 or 2 players, and right now I mostly just want to get more experience and have some fun. Eventually I want to run CoC or similar, but I would like to be a bit more adept at being DM before that.

For one player, it's hard to beat Scarlet Heroes.
The D6 system.
I'm working at a US postal service package distribution center as Christmas help.
Which one of you guys ordered a whole case of Chinese knockoff cards?
I live in Pawtucket but I didn't order anything.

Also, why don't we have more threads about Magic Strategy Game Magie the Gathering?
Who is Magie and what is she gathering?

Dude. Dude.
This End Up is not a suggestion. Get that box oriented correctly, you faggot.

Is there such thing as a game you can play with your eyes closed while laying in bed and/or falling asleep?
Sometimes when I have insomnia I'll play simple video games or solitaire to help me doze off, but if there were something I could just play entirely in my head, that would be even better.
>>44164858
It's called writing a story. I do it every night as I lie in bed, telling myself the tale of a ship captain in the middle of a war.
>>44164858
What this guy said >>44164872
Just start a narrative in your mind as you're going to bed and let that whisk you off to dream land
a lot of mine have turned fetishy, but that's my fault really.

Out somewhere in the wilderness, an egg rustles. A delicate creature, a Sylph is about to be born, very soon now. You will hatch into a world, strange, unknown. Sylphs are born with some good measure of intelligence, and maturate within their cocoon. That doesn’t mean you’re prepared for what may come your way. Can you survive? What goals will you set out to achieve? Friends, enemies, create a legacy of your own?
So many possibilities exist, as you lay dreaming. Quite a lot of slumbering, since the process is detailed. Making sure all the proper memories are in place to function straight from hatching. Even if there’s noise outside, one mustn’t break out early, lest rebirth defects occur.
Even if there’s a LOT of noise. Wow okay that really sounds abnormal. Did you move? Some of these noises are pretty piercing and cringe worthy. Smashing, too. But you’re not ready yet.
Time passes, everything dies down. What was that all about? … probably nothing. You’re running...

How would you run it?
Savage worlds?
Modded Legends of Wulin?
Eclipse Phase?
Something new altogether?
I would just play the actual game with friends, you can't really capture the feel of Warframe in a TTRPG.
>>44163091
Well yeah, I highly doubt you can get a One to One translation of the video game... or any non rpg in a TTRPG.
That said i think the Universe and the lore would make for a fantastic setting for a Sci fi game.
>>44163246
If we had more of it and what lore we got wasn't focused around Orokin and Tenno, I'd agree.
Wasn't crazy about Second Dream.
Do any professional tabletop RPG systems have a Digimon conversion?
Yes, I know there's a /tg/ homebrew floating around. I have it. Not impressed.
Yes, I know a lot of generic systems can handle Digimon with enough work. I'm asking if someone has already written down how to do that.
>professional
>not homebrew
>not using generic rules
Basically... you're asking if Saban/Baidai/whoever owns the rights to Digimon has published an official game? The answer is no. If they had, it would be called "Digimon: The Official RPG" (or something like that) and be really easy to at least find, like, a wikipedia article about it or something.
I don't know if tabletop RPG's are very popular in Japan but my assumption is that they are not. Although, isn't there an anime that's literally based on DnD 3.5, right down to quoting/citing game rules as part of the universe's "rules" sorta like Order of the Stick? Maybe there is potential for this.
Quick, somebody who speaks Japanese, get them to make one!
Okay I know this has been suggested before but seriously?
Monsters and other Childish things
It's literally a game about forming friendships with monsters and having them interfere with your life and loved ones. It makes a great Tamers game.
Some people recently updated the /tg/ homebrew so it isn't as shitty

I do jump settings I don't know, and have put FR fairly far back in my chain due to drawbacks and the times thread has mentioned FR has a god (or divine group) that stop tech from advancing, and since I have and consistently use extremely advanced tech, and have a habit of uplifting people, I wanted to leave it till I could try to deal with it.
Essentially I'm after either an alternate 'build your own angels' perk to the Bayonetta one, or failing that being able...

How do you enter a world jumpers? Is it a mystic portal? Is there a jumpchain that whisks you there? Do you just get REALLY lost? Or maybe you wake up?
I prefer the falling-from-the-sky approach really. Drop-in is litteral right?

Who controls the zombie ?
Does it just float on the battlefield as a mercenary ?
Why arnt vampires red, I liked those ones.
Damn inistrad was ballin.
I need more bats, rats, and wolves.

You do, you control the ability that creates it.
>>44162129
You're retarded. You always control the token if you control the effect that made it, unless it explicitly says someone else controls it.
Learn to play the fucking game.
Whats your favourite PVP character for D&D/Pathfinder?
There's a deathmatch style session on this weekend run by a friend. So far he's said everyone will be using lvl 12-ish characters. And the matches are mostly not going to be pit matches to the death, he mentioned one that will be similar to the Hunger Games.
First thought was Monk or maybe a Ranger. If Psion is allowed that would definitely be a top pick.
>>44161116
Also probably going to be using d&d 3.5, but really want to hear /tg/'s thoughts on any system
How many participants will there be in each match?
>>44161177
Not confirmed but I'm thinking between 6-10 or thereabouts. The guy running it asked me how many people I can bring so I'm thinking near around 10
I havent played D&D in my life
is that good?
>>44160793
Depends on your group. It'd either fucking awesome, or if your DM is a total autist kek it'll be really painful.

http://archive.wizards.com/Magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtgcom/daily/mc3
Serious question. Why can't Magic the Gathering be allowed to grow up with its audience?
How different would Magic the Gathering be if it had 30-year-old men as its target audience?
How is that suppose to apply to land art? Is this why zendikar is so popular?

Sounds like it aged just fine up to that point.

He's pretty much a human swashbuckler at around the 3rd level.

Become The Vampire 16
You shake your head and focus on a different scene, shifting the dream to bring the monster version of Sammy into view. It's like a bad 80s movie version of a werewolf rather than the real deal. Angie was right though. You had never considered Sammy a danger before. You let the dream play out so your subconscious can figure this mess out, moving to the edge of the room with Angie.
"I'm lucid now, so that kinda kills the point of dreaming. I mean, you literally just explained to me the point behind the monster. There's no mystery or conflicting feelings there to work through. Plus you promised me that you'd tell me about devils and screwing them over, so let's do that."
Angie walks over to the monster as it attacks the bed.
"Are you sure that's all there is to it? I'll tell you about devils, but I don't want you jumping to conclusions."
Angie walks around the bed slowly and yawns.
"Don't think literal. Think figurative. Sammy scares you. Not because of who she is, but because of what she represents. You were with Jennifer in the dream, but that could just be hormones. Or it's about contrast. Sammy scares you in a way Jennifer doesn't. There are lots of ways to look at it. It all depends on your point of view."
Angie walks back towards you and stretches.
"As for the devil... Tellarie is a lust devil, who focuses on destroying stable relationships with acts of desire. Forbidden fruit. They're the foulest and worst sort of devil, corrupting and destroying good things rather than just sowing wickedness."
Angie gives you a tired smile.
"In short, the easiest to con. You can make good things and ruin them rather than doing genuinely evil things to please them. There won't be a mark on your own soul. And Tellarie is desperate for power right now, so they're handing out free samples left and right to get powerful allies."
Angie wobbles and falls onto the bed, the Sammy-monster gnawing on her leg.
"For a con... When Tellarie appears before you, offer to corrupt something pure or break up a relationship. They'll follow up soon, so make some vague promises, keep what you know a secret... Maybe say you're mad at someone and want revenge... I'm sure that'll do as a starting point."
Angie yawns loudly.
"Mmm... nap time..."
She pats the monster and gets comfortable. You don't know why you were expecting something different, but then again there's a bed right there. The gnawing doesn't even seem to phase her.

Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher after mods, it's a critical. A crit fail is when you have two or more 1s. So far this system has worked out well enough. We'll get into combat rules as needed, but in basic terms you have wounds, not HP, and the worse the wounds, the more penalties you accrue while doing other things.
Most Important Rule:
Have fun.

>Relax and drift off
