If a game other than D&D could dominate the market for RPGs, which one would you want it to be? For whatever reasons.
Anything besides Warhammer 40k.
But let's be honest, it would be Warhammer 40k.
I'd still pick D&D
There's is something wrong with just how butthurt people are about D&D.
Is it the best brand? That's actually not too bold of a statement, and it's certainly not a bad group of games by any measure.
Just because your favorite game isn't by far the most popular doesn't mean that you need to whine about all the little problems you have with it that are mostly a matter of preference.
(Don't take any of this bullshit seriously, this is just for keks)
Hello there, pull up a shotgun and prepare yourself for a cringy one-shot adventure.
You Anons represent the inner thoughts/subconscious of Janon, a poor newbie who has fallen into the spiders web. I am The Whizzard, and I will be your pseudo-GM tonight. You will be subjugated to the many cruel fetishes that this GM has prepared.
The only way you can save Janon from perishing in this terrible game is to give him commands, and hopefully he'll be able to hear you.
Janon is playing a stereotypical fighter, and he has no other allies at this table.
Without further ado, let us descend into madness.
The GM adjusts his glasses and gives Janon a friendly look.
"Alright J, your character sheet is all set and all the players are gathered."
Janon seemed slightly surprised, after all, he was the only other player there. However, he had little knowledge of DnD, so for all he knew, this was normal.
"You are located directly outside of a tavern. Inside is where your quest can begin. Are you ready?"
>wat do?
>>44066961
No. Run in the opposite direction
So, what can I do? I can do whatever I want right?
So I can go into the Tavern and order food?
What are we trying to do anyways? What is the quest?
I gotta wake up early tomorrowtodayand I can't sleep, so lets do this until I can't anymore.
I'm a fairly slow "writer" so be warned.
After a truly dreadful journey you finally arrived at the Bainsmarket train station. You where suspicious, but now the reason of the exaggerated for the undisclosed security job started making sense to you. If the Farrows are only half as aggressive on your next train ride as the one you just had, then probably only because they'll fear that Bogrin or other nasties might have the same target.

After 10+ years, new version of Nethack is out! What class are you playing, /tg/?

After a 10+ year hiatus, the NetHack DevTeam is happy to announce the release of NetHack 3.6, a combination of the old and the new.
Unlike previous releases, which focused on the general game fixes, this release consists of a series of foundational changes in the team, underlying infrastructure and changes to the approach to game development.
Those of you expecting a huge raft of new features will probably be disappointed. Although we have included a number...

Welcome to Nip Quest, or Japanese Quest, no matter how you want to say it, we're starting this quest! You're assuming the role of a lowly merchant thief, who takes what isn't barred down then attempts to sell it back for outrageous prices. As you might expect, living on the lamb is hard, and when someone approaches you, you claim that it's for your wife and kids, despite you being an unmarried man. Most people know you as scum, a bottomfeeder, and a lowlife....

Do you think that fantasy realms have to deal with racism, and if so, what hilarious slurs would certain races be called?
>Wood elves = Tree fuckers
>Humans = Apes
>>44066109
There's a joke here about mermaids being sex-toys for gangs of ravenous sailors, but I'm not clever enough to make it

>>44066109
I think you are being too blunt with these insults.
If you think about it most racial slurs come from appearance.
"Nigger" = Black, "Chink" -> Eyes are narrower, like actual "chinks" in stone or metal.
When you try to make up fantasy slurs make the slur a simple one or two syllable word that describes an aspect of physical appearance that wouldn't normally be considered particularly insulting outside of context.
The hatred and aggression in slurs comes...

But our decade was nearly up. We had stopped marking calendars or scratching walls to tell the time awhile but we were always aware of time's passage. Mairwen's internal clock ticked away across our shared consciousness.
So after one more visit to Whiterun we made our way south, telling our trade partners we were returning to the deserts of home and thanked them for their business. We pulsed the Dragonborn once more with the item we hadn't used in years but they did...

First for Clan Mercer Ravannion.
What's the worst variant of your favorite mech?
>>44065063
Making an AC/2 "viable" is a tough one. Honestly, it should likely be somewhere around 2 or 2.5 tons. It's a half-damage SRM-2 with triple the range and can use special ammo types. Half damage (2 vs 4) and double-range cancel one another out in my head. The third range band (which is also fixed) adds 1 ton. Ammo load is effectively equal (45 vs 50), so nothing needs done there. The question is whether the ability to load special ammo types should matter. In this case, I...

"Don't shoot her!" The girl wrestles against your grip.
She tugs and pulls at the revolver in your hand. Fortunately for her you've got a hold of the hammer, because her tugging probably would have discharged the firearm.
"Why!?" You push her off of you with ease.
She maintains her grip on your revolver, a tear runs down her cheek.
"That's my sister!"
Outside of the small cage; a massive dragon slams the weight of its skull against the bars. Its claws uselessly scrape and pull at th metallic confinement.

What was your first successful campaign as a GM and why?
Hosting Rogue Trader, it worked because I took the party out of the grimderp into a reasonable space opera scenario and the focus was on actual politics and not war.
>>44064668
A pretty solidly generic 3.5 campaign that went on for about 3 years and had its share of great moments. It was great because the party managed to balance itself in a way where everybody had the ability to do things that were unique and important.
Basically, it wasn't great because of the campaign or myself, but because I had great players.
