Stone-to-flesh has to be able to produce complex organic structures, because when used on a petrified person they are restored rather than just turned into a blob of meat. So would someone be able to use it to take a gem carved into an eyeball and turn it into a functioning eye. If so would it grant any special abilities? have a unique color? Or just replace the normal eye that was lost?
Nope, only if it was originally a person. Otherwise you just have meat
>>47951685
You'd have to carve and shape the inside of the stone, too.
Or maybe have an even better version of the Stone to Flesh spell than just the basic one for reverting Flesh to Stone victims.
>>47951685
i had a wizard cast stone to flesh on a beholder and it succeeded. he then removed the eyes and crafted them into rods to use at a future time. I allowed it since he rolled a nat twenty on spellcraft check on top of having the appropriate feats.
Once we hit epic levels, the used the group's resources to start a beholder farm in a trap filled obdurium room with stone to flesh spells layed off everywhere with permanency affects. it was a matter of time before they all went off, then he cast whatever spells...

Why does this game's oarent company INSIST on keeping the most important cards too expensive for the majority of it's player base? Don't they want more players and thereforeore revenue? Every video game in existance is trying mass appeal and still getting tons of money yet table top games seem to refuse to let their best experiences and best tools drop below 15-30 bucks a card, if youre lucky.
>>47951484
The game company doesn't.
The second hand market does. We're the ones who value these cardboard cards at obscene prices.
How exactly did you forget that every business in this market makes the majority of their profit off of the "whales"?
Games Workshop constantly increasing the required size of your army, cost of miniatures, etc.
The Endless D&D splat books.
MtG keeping the required special land base around
Pic semi-related, the most recent Mechwarrior vidja that grew out of the Battletech board game. Posts like this are not as uncommon as you might think.
>>47951484
They can't just print a lot more cards because the collector market is what props the game up in large part. There's an episode of NPR or something about MTG and Beanie Babies that you should look up.
How many of you friends play it? What are the alternatives? This game looks pretty neat both ww1 and 2, I just know nothing about dogfight tg's except for X-Wing
this game is what Xwing payed to use the rules for. its good theres a WW1 one that's better thou the ww2 one was sorta a halfway step that failed and that's why they sold the rules to starwars. Wings of glory is literally the perfect dogfighting game and it has the best cards and minis and huge bombers and stuff. you can actually use cards from any of the "wings" serires together just mix them up and pretend its cards against humanity.
I own all of these and have for years and larph at people who say xwing is the new best game. this rulesets been...

>this game is what Xwing payed to use the rules for
You don't need to pay to use rules. Rules are not capable of being copyrighted. Did they just pay the company to take care of adapting the rules to X-Wing and that's what you meant?
>>47951178
The WW2 version is pap. Which is a shame as I'd love a decent WW2 Dogfighting Game... well, that isn't X-Wing.
The WW1 one is great silly fun though, and within minutes of playing I guarantee that everyone WILL have adopted silly accents. 10/10 would exhort that there's a fokker on my tail again.
Hello /tg/, I've recently gotten into tabletop games, but I missed my chance to join the most recent D&D game some friends started. So I wanna try something online.
Thing is, I only roleplay girls, because I like to draw them, and because they're fun to draw. And this site, Roll20, typically does voice chat in roleplays.
So I figure this would be a good place to ask, is there a free voice-changing software that's decent enough and can make me sound like a girl? Does anyone use any in particular that they would recommend? Google turns up some sketchy as fuck results, and the ones I've tried have been too buggy to do anything with. And if there's something that's not free but works really well, I could take a look at that as well.
Senpai just find a group that does text only.My group prefers it even though we VC each other if we play video-games or board-games and the like.
A friend of mine swears by the one they use and they managed to talk to people on a daily basis over Skype etc for years before anyone even caught on. I can't remember the exact name, think it had diamond in it, so I suppose that's a hint for you.

Harpoon 3Good Luck
>>47950864
I was running the Victor III in that game. We ended it 2 turns after I popped my 2 ASROC's, judging by the picture I they would have tracked (1nmi. search radius from impact location, picture looks to be from 1 or 2 turns before the launch).
Of course we both had fish in the water after that, as he had a solid hit on my location at time of launch, and I had a bearing based on his evasion of incoming missiles and the passive lock I achived with a really lucky roll early on.
>>47951411
That was a really fun game, intense but fun!
I would play harpoon again any time.
This is the latest screenshot I have of that game...

Do you place 'The Settlers of Catan' under the Ts, the Ss, or the Cs?
There is only one correct answer.
Not sure if thinly-veiled "do you Catan?" thread
>>47949824
It was the first thing that came to mind.
Only C is correct.

Is the 'the' implicit?
I mean, it should be 'The Lord of the Rings' right?
'Sup /tg/. You're working on something. You've got an idea that you might want to put in front of a group, or you've always wanted to but haven't found the right table for it.
You've got a world in your head, and it needs some fleshing out. You've got a thing you want to try, but have never been able to.
Share it, here. What makes it unique? What problems are you having, putting it together? What questions do you have?
I've never been able to completely focus on one thing. One idea is made to the point where I think it's not good enough, and I scrap it, or several ideas that aren't developed
>>47949797
That's pretty much the same problem I have. I get a neat tagline or concept for a setting or an aspect of one, but I can't extrapolate from it to make a full world, or fill in enough gaps that I can run a game with it.

What ideas has it been most recently for you guys?
For me, it's a...
- Space Fantasy based on every HFY trope and story that isn't shit (surprisingly few) and a couple of good space superstition threads.
- Heroic Fantasy based on American history and folklore, as opposed to European.
- Superhero game - something street level, like Daredevil/Jessica Jones, where they finally build up to the big bad, for him to...

Has anyone ever played an RPG campaign as a necromancer?
I really want to play a game as a novice necromancer and slowly build power and influence, establish a cult, raise undead, craft dread magic items, take over the world, and become a lich. Maybe something like the events of the initial stages of the Warcraft III campaign but as an RPG.
Anyone ever played in a game like this, or run a game like this?
Look up Hollowfaust: City of Nevromancers.
Best take on neutral, and good necromancers ever.

>>47949268
I played a not-evil necromancer once. But since you seem to be looking at probable wanting to go the evil necromancer lich route, I don't know if my story-time would be relevant or not.
>>47949406
Go for it. I'm not settled on being evil. I'm mostly curious about people's experiences playing necromancers, if they ever did any sort of empire-building, and how they accomplished it.
Who was in the wrong here?

The one who was a bad dad.

Why do so many Kings and Queens have undead advisers?
>>47947556
I mean they were probably alive at some point. And if their smart enough to cheat death they gotta be pretty solid advisors.
>>47947556
Because unlike that young guy who thinks he's as clever as it gets, those undead-types have been around long enough to know better and seen nearly everything

Why did the artist choose to have the skeleton looking at the baby dick?
Not that we really need another thread for Warhammer but it doesn't seem like WHFB gen or AoS gen want to talk about WH: Quest. I suppose that this could be dungeon crawling gen also! Let's share some fun stories! Or Homebrew!

Obligatory extra post so if there's any interested anons wondering if the thread is still alive
I've never played, but here's hoping someone has some good stories.
old WQ or new WQ?
I just picked up the new WQ. Going to try to paint everything before playing... If I achieve that, it will be a first for me.

You are Ophelia, twisted mentat and captain of the Spacing Guild Heighliner Exuberance, on a mission to explore wild space, surveying uncharted worlds to expand the bounds of the known universe. Last thread, you folded space to 1195 Tloni, an orange star orbited by an uncharted habitable planet. Your most junior navigator thinks there’s something hidden on the ice planet at the farthest reaches of the solar system, but you made the executive decision to focus first on the earth-like planet, which you can reach without folding space or expending weeks of precious time.
Currently you’re en route to a parking orbit around the planet, which you have yet to name. One of the inconveniences of folding to uncharted systems is that navigators often can’t get you within spitting distance of your target (whatever it might be) sight unseen. You have almost a week to eat up before you arrive, and there are several ways you might spend it.
What would you like to start with?

A mentat requires data. Firsthand observation of your ship and its crew will give you information that your subordinates and their reports might miss. Which deck of the Heighliner will you inspect?
