THIS IS NOT A CIV THREAD
Cms feel free to drop a post in when you run
1st question for the thread, what makes for a good enemy civ?
Hard mode: for a civ like orcs/gnolls/other evil race
>>44081110
that's a hell of a question, and I don't know where to start.
>>44081110
For an evil race? A "good" race that must purge your evil race from the land.
>>44082401
Do you like automatically opposed civilations or ones that have an option to diplo but eventually become an enemy? Idk feel free to ask any questions you have
People talk about Succubi a lot, but has an incubus ever showed up in your games, /tg/? If both exist in your setting, do they have any innate connection? Are they mostly distant, only being interested in other races, to the point where wanting to actually fuck a succubi is considered a deviant fetish amongst incubi, and vice versa?
The general idea I use is that incubi and succubi are just one "breed" of demons who get their sustenance from sexual desire (others get sustenance from different kinds of intense emotion). They have only a passing interest in each...

I don't use either. I prefer my demons nastier than fuckdolls with horns.
>>44064654
I generally like it when their cute human form is just a disguise and their true form is actually much more nasty and horrifying.

Hi, I've never played dungeons and dragons, but I really want to get into it. I found a website called roll20, and i've found a few games that look like they could be fun, I just don't know how to go about building a character and stuff. Any tips or pointers?
>>44131332
weeeelllll,
roll20 is a crapshoot. Unless you're really lucky, you'll have a couple bad experiences. Don't be afraid to bail on a game that is a clusterfuck, though it is polite to let the person running it that you are leaving so they don't expect you back.
You got any friends? If it's your first time, I'd suggest playing in person.
is there another way to play online? I don't know of any groups in my town.
So I was flicking through some old fanzines I dug up today and rather enjoying a few features, when I thought "Hey! There must be at least 3 people on /tg/ who like Glorantha, and most people have never seen this sort of stuff"
I'm going to post a piece from Ye Booke Of Tentacles No.1, which was produced in 1998 as fund raising for the German convention "Tentacle Over Bacharach". It's a transcript from a panel recorded at RuneQuest-Con 1996 and is a few of the guys chatting about the nature of their campaign.
It will be followed by...

And here we go, "Adventuring With The Lismelder"
I actually OCR'd the entire thing, but it would have taken me about 30 posts to get through.

Delecti's one of my favourite background characters, always in the middle of trouble but he survives everything.
In real life, if you ask a priest about holy water, he'll say it doesn't exactly have divine energy in it like a battery has electricity, it's a symbol that works via belief.
Once he stops treating it as holy, it's not, and it goes down the drain like any other water.
Knowing this, can a vampire be harmed by ordinary water he believes is holy, as a placebo effect?

Only if a vampire that doesn't believe in holy water can't be harmed by it at all.
But mostly >>44129413
>>44129362
The person being attacked's faith is what harms the vampire. Holy water is no more holy than a crucifix, both harm/keep it at bay, as they work as a focus for the person' faith. It is worth noting that vampires are hurt by regular water in some traditions as long as it is in movement.

You pull your mind away from such musings, a problem for the future, right now you need to decide what to do. You consider postponing your mission, but for how long? The full nine months? Longer? no. You recall hearing somewhere that in the early stages chemicals and poisons are a concern, but much less so physical exertion. Well, with your sheer toughness and control over your own biology your babies are not at any great risk. You can do what you need to do, for now at least.
What happens after, well, you can work something out, your realm should be safe enough, and...

There has been some interesting discussion on Askfm.

and

Also some emails from the anon in question, which I'll not repost – though they are free to post them – and my replies if they wish.
I would like to hear players views on how Aspects (and Gifts) should be handled in future. Not just picking new ones but increasing them, using them and how side-effects are handled.

What do you guys think about players being able to play all humanoid races mixed in a party or should the be limited to "evil" or "good" humanoid races from the setting?
How many humanoid races do you guys think should exist in a setting so that it doesn't become to many or a race is only defined by a special trait?
Great number is 7. Example: Humans, Elves, Nagas (full reptile but distinctly humanoid), Naghaji, orcs, dwarves, and gnomes. Also add in a few half-breed races if you're wanting more exotic options. Each one has their own special place in society and it doesn't feel like there's too many races running around.
>>44127752
m*(4 + (a/50000) + u) rounded to the nearest whole number
where a is area of the setting in square miles, u is a binary identifier if underground is inhabitable or not and m is coeficient for magic scale - from 1 "mostly realistic" to 6 "high as a kite magic"
>>44127752
I think it's better to put more emphasis on different countries and societies, rather than races - when every race in the setting is a monoculture it reeks of laziness. As for number of races, 5-7 is the best number for high fantasy. Split them into different societies and you have just enough variety.
I can't be the only one who sucks on their paintbrushes?
Like, sometimes to just wet the paint, or just keep the brush handy. Or clean it.
>>44126799
I don't suck on it, per say. I do roll the bristles along my tongue to keep a point. AFAIK a lot of folk at my local GW do it, too.
>>44126834
Yea, I forgot to mention I do that aswell.
>>44126799
I lick mine a lot of times when I forget to refill the rinse water.
I recommend not using a coffee mug for rinse water if you also drink coffee though, cause yeah, I've done that.
Gentlemen.
How do we solve the Fate/Tabletop problem?
What's the Fate tabletop problem?
Get Nasu to make an official one for big buck$$$
>>44126752
Look, man. Fate/Stay Night is not a good setting to run an RPG campaign in. Why?
Because the format doesn't work. You have seven Masters and seven Servants: Unless all the PCs constitute one 'Master' team and/or one Servant, they already have a hilarious advantage. Unless it's a PvP game, and then you have the problem of everyone being at the table when they kill each other.
More, have you seen the anime? People don't fight like PCs. PCs go after an enemy until he dies. They don't let him go: "Haha, next time I will use my truest power!" Instead, they'd go: "Saber, nuke him. What's that? You'll destroy a whole apartment block? I don't care, do it anyway."
Imagine if Tokimi had gone "Hey, I'm not sure Kariya is dead. I better follow him down into the alley and fry his corpse." Or if someone like Gilgamesh had been taking things seriously - "All right, I'm just going to hit you with Level 99 weapons until you die. I can do this for weeks on end."
Seriously, HOW are you going to run a campaign like that? It's fucking impossible. What makes for an interesting narrative does not a good RPG make. Every fight would end with "I'll finish you next ti - You know what, Berseker? Butcher both of them and bring me their heads. It's cool, I got enough mana."
Hey /tg/, Im doing some generic tokens and ran out of ideas for symbols. I'm doing them like a coin, where the front has a drawing, while the back is blank, therefore can be used for groups of enies, like a pack if gnolls. You guys got any tips, symbols or recomendations to add for the medium, large and huge (and maybe gargantuan) tokens?
Any tips would be really welcome.
Sorry for the PIC quality.
Symbols thread too, I guess?
>>44126240
>Demon symbol fromOotA
nice.
You need something that yells peasant.
A fist weapon or nunchuk.
Maybe a demon hand orjust the shadow of an angel.
>>44126240
They suck, OP.
With all due respect, but they are all terrible.
You think this is some kids board?
We like quality here, you dont go off showing some shitty IRL painting of your WH40K shit here, unless you want to be humiliated.
Guess everyone has to start somewhere, but its far too early for you to post your shit online like that, trust me, you will only regret it later.
>>44126240
Draw dicks. Different colored dicks. The black one being bigger.
Im sure that will drive everyones sides into orbit.
