Hey /tg/, is there any way to make money from dming? Is there a way to make a decent living? I ask because I've been told by every party I've ever had that I'm a really good dm, and I really love doing it... I was just wondering if such a thing was even possible.
Pic unrelated.
Haha, no.
And never DM again.

You could, but then you'd get a whole party of those guys.

Her nipples are in a very odd location.
My players want to run a GATE themed game. I thought the show was fun to watch, but no way realistic. How does /tg/ think things would go down if a fantasy world invaded Japan like in the animu? Or should I change were the portal is? Any thoughts tg?
>>44070684
Japan is fine, if you dont mind weeabo stuff.
A lot depends on which fantasy setting you are gateing to. As far as what would happen if gate...I think its pretty acurate. The Gate world does not have rampant magic the way say, Greyhawk or Golarion or Toril would. And the result is pretty much what you would expect when modern army goes against roman legion.
You open a portal to Golarion though, and you have things like ancient, intelligent dragons, centuries old litch lords, and other monsters that...

Jolene still the best, even if she/he is still allergic to mexican food
So umm... Why does Edward Raggi get such a strong Hatdom? I mean sure you don't have to like his games but I don't get all the personal snuff.
Lamentations of the Flame Princess General as well I guess.

I don't get it either. I guess maybe some neckbeards are miserable angry dickheads who need someone to project their anger on?
I haven't read a lot from him, but I wouldn't describe what I have read as "smug" or "insufferable." That seems like people reading in stuff that's not there.
Then there's all the internet urban legends, like "he had a bad breakup and then made the Flame Princess to look like his ex so he could commission art of her being killed...

I'm not someone who really cares about him either way, but something I heard about was that when people complained about the over the top gore in the artstyle and story he intentionally went out and made another adventure with an effort to be as gory as possible.
Keep in mind that that's just something I heard in a Flame Princess thread I read ages ago, but the guy does seem to be a bit up himself to respond to criticism like that.
Other than that it's probably something blown way out of proportion.
I was just watching the Disney Shorts film on Netflix, and the first short was a musical adaptation of the story of John Henry. Now, I know there are steampunk stories set in the United States during and after the Civil War, but most of them mix fantasy things like dragons or zombies into what would otherwise be a type of sci-fi, and they often don't use steampunk for anything other than introducing modern technology into a fantasy setting. More importantly, stories like John Henry portray the industrialization brought about by steam as an evil thing, crushing the human...

While not quite steampunk Bioshock Infinite is pretty cool and seems really nice and positivetill it turns out the whole thing is run by fanatical racists 5 min in

Well that's more just Hollywood doing its best to be as reactionary as possible.
I guess technically Valkyria Chronicles fits? Though it's more like magitek than dieselpunk.
The four powers of Chaos:
To live is to die.
To fight is to live.
To live is to struggle.
To live is to feel.
Where does Undivided fall within this pantheon of motivations? Is it to be subjugated by ones own emotions, or is it the aspiration to rise above them? Taking this further, with a more specific example: Countless thralls flock to Nurgle to save them, only to die by the pestilent gifts they so ignorantly asked for, but isn't the alternative and endless, slavish servitude as a daemon?
Does it just boil down to how much you value your own life...

Like pretty much all things about Chaos, what Undivided means depends on the context of who is using it.
The Word Bearers believe that Chaos is a singular entity spread into four distinct fragments, and believe that by furthering the various causes of Chaos that they will bring about the Primordial Truth and learn the secrets of the universe. A Word Bearer must study and understand the concept and basic intricacies of each God, and practice certain rituals to each one all the time in order to continue their...

Very interesting point matey,
But degenration into nutters isvery much a threat to even those who follow undivided. I guess its the whole nature thing with chaos with whatever does not kill you makes you stronger.
Your non-halfling character's shoes have worn out, your walking speed has been reduced by 25% and your running speed has been reduced 50%. Every 50 meters you run now incurs you one hit point in damage. This will persist until a new pair of shoes is obtained.
Can I get myself some high heels then?
>>44069657
If you'd like and you can find them.
