My good friend told me about the time she went to a fortune teller in Long Island. She went in sat down and then the psychic told her that she will not tell her what she sees, she wouldn't tell her own daughter what she saw, and then told her to leave and not to go to a psychic again. So 4chan.....what creepy stuff have you been told? bonus points if it has happened already
Only ever got dragged along to one and they refused me and told me not to touch them or any of their stuff on the way out, said I was marked.
I was cursed by gypsies, which was part of the reason for being dragged along, so it kind of fits.

AVE SENATORES! I bring exciting news.
Firstly, I have been granted permission by the Administratum to begin using the e-herald named "Twitter". I can be found here: https://twitter.com/SenatusSimia.
Secondly, and of vastly greater import to this august body. By the grace of the Emperor and under his leadership and yours, I have the food fortune to inform you, the Senate of the People of Earth, that we have located our first Jump Point, a mere few weeks after the launch of our survey vessels.
My report follows:
21st October 1757 IVC: Acting...

However, this was hugely overshadowed by the report from our Astroharuspection Division, who have been monitoring the gravimentric readings being sent by the Decius class survey vessels. By combining these readings, they were able to pinpoint a region of space that further broad-spectrum gravitational sensor readings have confirmed contains a natural "near-wormhole", a subspatial artefact of the gravitational connection between Sol and another star. This point is close to the current orbit of Saturn and is shown on the system map that accompanies this report.
This presents an intriguing possibilty. Based upon our previous studies into Jump Point Theory, we already have the necessary technology to build a particle projection system capable of projecting enough energy into this point to open a stable wormhole to another solar system. Not only that, but due to the nature of these jump points, it is extremely likely that this other solar system possessed at least one exoplanet. And there is more - we predict that ALL star systems should contain similar "jump points".
In short, my Senators: we have potentially discovered the gate to the stars. All of space lies before us. In the name of the Emperor and of Humanity - we need only open the gate.
Your humble spreadsheet monkey awaits your instructions.

hi /tg/,
my group wants to get into shadowrun 5e. I'm usually the DM, because I pick up new systems quite easily, and I used to play SR 3e like 10 years ago, so I know a little bit about the setting.
however, one of my player wants to run a decker, one concept I never really wrapped my head around.
can someone explain how decking works like I'm 5?
I understand 5e embraced the idea that now everything is wireless, but it still talks about jacking in and stuff. Also, apparently there are VR glasses now, so you don't actually have to waste...

Ok here's the deal chummer.
First of all, every aspect of the job can in theory be done over the Matrix. There's exceptions, but for 90% of jobs, your decker can stay at home, in the party van, or in a café across the street drinking a latte.
Those expections come in when corp internal security decided security for a facility trumps work flow. There's stages here, but if they decide no other facility needs access to some or all of a facilities features, then they can either disable wireless for [b]every device[/b] that is part of that network, and have...

What Deckers will want to use 99% of the time is called Hot Sim. That's a specifically modified SimSense module. It disables the feedback filters and all the post processing your SimSense does for you to avoid any accidents from frying the brains of consumers.
HotSim with custom coded neural layers is how you make BTLs by the way.
HotSim and Cold Sim both have an addiction rating, but it's pretty low.
Any questions?

Shadowrun Hong Kong uses 3rd edition rules. Hacking works differently in 5th. There's no exit points from VR for example. You just switch to AR mode and you're no longer in VR. If you straight switch from VR to no-input, you get dumpshock.
That happens mostly if you get link-locked.
Hey TG, i was hoping you guys could help me out. i am in desperate need of enemies to pit my players against.
the enemies they fight that are normal just get destroyed, i need enemies that can only be defeated certain ways or they have special abilities about them.
so far I've tried enemies with only certain weak spots, an enemy who they had to destroy its power source, and I've tried some cloaked enemies but they've just been such un-interesting fights as well.
i was hoping you guys could please lend some of the creatures you have enjoyed...

There's nothing wrong with the enemies your fighting, the problem is you need to put life and meaning into to the combat.
"You hit the wolf for 9 damage" vs. "Your spear carves a bloody gash down the wolfs side as it narrowly avoids being completely impaled."
Your players need to get into this as well, describe how there trying to hit the enemy instead of just saying they attack the monster. Hell, reward creative attacks with a bonus to encourage this if you need too.
Also,...

An enemy invincible during night time that's following the PCs while they try to stall for time until dawn
Two enemies that completely regenerate when killed, unless they are killed on the exact same turn
An enemy that gives better loot if you wait longer before killing it, which requires surviving longer its attacks
>>43906608
try it with enemies which can resurrect themselves unless killed in a certain way (using exorcism/ healing magic does damage/ burn the corpses)
or ones which try to psychologicly manipulate them (use intelligence/willpower checks) , or curses/deseases to affect the players after the battle
try special resistances/weaknesses against different types of physical/magical attacks (zombies only take 1/4 damage from stabbing but burn easily)
or creatures which flee from combat but weaken the group with...

Why are bodyguard quest so boring? What should be done to make it bearable?
>>43906547
>NPC is likeable and undisruptive.
>Journey is open enough not to be a railroad.
The PCs need to be having a bodyguard adventure, not be a part of the NPC's adventure.
You're guarding the NPCs purity/chastity.
The would-be enemies seek to defile them sexually.

Rolled 9 (1d14)
Welcome to this thread, Fantasy Craft is one of many games that is based on the same framework as D&D 3.5- but in this case torn down and rebuilt entirely.
The entire game (with many, many toolbox-style options for characters and campaign types) can be found in the core book, and so far there is only one other book (the Adventure Companion, basically a compilation of example settings), as well as a smattering of extra classes (the Call To Arms series) and a preview for the upcoming Spellbound- a book all about niche-style caster instead...

Rolling Specialty. Were you inspired by me trying this in the last general?

Looks like we have a Pech Acrobat, which seems like a good fit; I was indeed inspired by the character rolling in the last thread. Sadly I may have started this one too late into the night for me to follow through until the end.
So, I had a interesting idea for a Warhammer AU. Basically, Magnus the Red doesn't fall. Maybe he gets a vision of the future, maybe the Emperor gives him a talk or whatever at Nikaea, whatever.
End result, one of the major players for chaos never flip, and the Imperium keeps its psychic legion.
I figure as a result, psykers and whatnot would probably be more well recieved since a entire legion of spess mehrines with psychic powers would be running around, stomping the enemies of man. Also figure that less damage would occur as a result of the heresy, and,...

The Emps can die, then return as Magnus holds the Astronomican. Great crusade goes on in the webway and the legions split into chapters due to the HH and the increasing number of threats.
Wasn't an entire legion of psychers. A lot more than most, and well integrated into combat doctrine and command. So they're going to be powerful as fuck.
Probably just means tzeentch gets the raven guard, playing on their mutations/secretive stuff (double just as planned via alpha legion), or the white scars because they have sorceress and are wild and inconsistent like the winds.
>>43905462
White Scars maybe(Though I lean no), Raven Guard naaaah, Corax too much a bro to go chill with Chaos frat douches.
Hey /tg/, my group wants me to run the Green Ronin ASOIAF for them. I was wondering if any fa/tg/uys could provide some tips on running it.
They're a Northern house and I was planning on just using the Peril in King's Landing adventure that's in the back of the book.
>>43905353
Try to avoid the regular GM mindset of knowing 2 sessions in advance what's going to happen.
Don't write a complete adventure, instead figure out how they come into conflict with someone, and what that persons goal is and what their resources are. Local gang of thugs trying to get revenge at the party? Shady merchant? Minor noble with an axe to grind? Someone influential? Rich? Lots of support among commoners or criminals? And then just take it from there. Let the players feel like there's someone out there who wants them harm instead of feeling that they're in a stage in some adventure that will progress to the next stage all by itself.
One of the hallmarks of ASoIaF is that things don't go according to plan. The antagonists more or less derail the plot multiple times and takes it in completely new directions. It's basically like they're in conflict with the author and every time he goes "Oh, this would tie things together nicely" or "This is nice, things are going well for the protagonists" the villains go NO! Fuck that! I'm flipping this table! Have fun! Also think strongly about character motivation. The npcs are not there just to advance the plot you created or conveniently point the players in the "right" direction, they have their own goals to fulfill, be it revenge, looking out for themselves, getting rich or advancing their position, try to keep in mind what the important npcs are up to while the players are off doing other shit.
Nothing ruins the ASoIaF flavour faster than making the players feel like they just spotted someone with an exclamation mark over their head that is going to launch them into a self-contained adventure.
>>43905710
I feel like I should just write all my Rpg's like this.
But its not just antagonists right? I mean sometimes its well meaning allies screwing things up (Caitlyn Stark, Rickard Karstark).
And I mean sometimes things get resolved (albeit mostly with someone taking a dagger to the back).
>>43905710
Thanks I'll keep that in mind.

Owl with a +5 to bearness.
>>43905308
That's a bear with +5 to owlness, plain as day.
>>43905322
By the gods, you're right.
It's the angle of the picture that had me confused. All that owlness just looked like owl, while what is obviously bear seemed less bear and more bearness.
My mistake. I apologize, oh eagle-eyed Anon.
Does anyone have any experience with this game? Is it good? And if so, anyone know where to get the PDFs?
>>43905274
No PDF's but some fella ran it for me and a few friends at a FLGS. It was alright, but he kept perving on my friend and it was hard to concentrate. It's a very broad game, more or less giving you a simple framework mechanics and a whole lot of game ideas/plot points. The company producing them is coming out with multiple books centered around different end of the world scenarios, but so far they have only released the obligatory Cthulhu game and a generic zombie game. Pretty art though. Oh and one look...

Man, how do you even define a Mythos apocalypse? There's seriously like 600,000 ways to do it, and they all have very different and weird levels of lethality. I guess you could fill a whole book with concepts revolving around it, but I'm assuming they mostly center on 'Squid wakes up, Godzillas, everyone dies'?

One of my players is planning to play a druid for my next campaign, and I'm really having problems coming up with plot hooks for a druid.
What kind of reasons do druids have for going adventuring, delving in dungeons or getting involved in court intrigue?
>>43905145
Something I learned is let the players give you hooks.
Play a few games with his character, learn his story, let him tell you why hes wandering. When he has, find something in his back story to give him a bigger hook so he fells like part of the story.
>>43905145
whalers
seal clubbers
loggers
farmers
ragtag rebels oppressed by an empire

>>43905145
All plot hooks in any story ever boil down to one of two things.
>Character wants something, circumstances give them an opportunity to obtain that thing.
>Character has something they cherish, circumstances take that thing away.
Without knowing what the character cares about, you're not going to be able to come up with good plothooks aside from the stereotypical assumptions of "LOL, DRUIDS LOVE NATURE! THEY'LL GET PISSED...
