What would happen?
Safety, justice, prosperity, meaningful freedom: all these things begin with order. That there are rules and people obey them: nobody is above them and nowhere is beyond them. The fine details about what should be prioritized afterwards is not an irrelevant issue, but is a matter to be discussed and worked out once order has been firmly established.
It is our right and duty to bring the gift order to this world. That is our purpose, that is our destiny. Those who shall accept the order we are imposing shall reap the benefits there-of, as shall the descendants of those who defy us, but those who stand in our way must be stamped out. For in their misguided clinging to independence they are not only our enemies, but the enemies of all including themselves. Regretable as it may be, they will be made to submit.

Sup guys.
I'm playing a Paladin in an upcoming D&D 5E game (first session is tomorrow), and I've never played one before. We used Standard Array and I wound up leaving Dexterity at an abyssmal 9 (-1).
Now, I wanted to find a way to wrap that into the character. Do you guys think it would be feasible to explain it to the DM as "he is a veteran of a recent war, which claimed his left leg. As a result (and thanks for valiance) a local workshop owner fashioned him a flexible prosthetic leg. He walks with a mild limp, but he can still maneuver around...

Here's the character art I'm using, by the way.
Anyone else ever played a character with a physical disability? I'm trying to keep it a secret from the party, lest they look down on me for it.

On my end all I know about mahjongg is that politicians and church hierarchy are apparently gifted with supernatural luck and personalised named combos.

Mahjong player here, both of these are true.

How was that That Guy? Keeping the eyes didn't seem too out of place. That just seems like the DM being clever and hooking in something the character did.

Keeping body parts from victims in a game where you can't use them to make potions is *always* That Guy behavior.

Or for bounties, but that is often poorly thought out and edgy too.

You are Hauptmann Lukas Weisenkranz, a company commander of the venerable Grossreich of Czeiss, servant and acquaintance of Kaiser Adam Paulus. You are currently participating in the Invasion of Delschau, a company commander of the Reich.
The Grossreich has declared war upon the illegitimate states of Strosvald and Delschau, after decades of tolerating...

You and a section of your forces had broken through the enemy lines, yet managed to avoid an enemy counterattack that is now running up against your reorganizing platoons. You ordered the platoons accompanying you, 3rd and 5th, a tank platoon and a heavy tank platoon respectively, to hold the village and the road you had just taken against further Delschau reinforcements.
You would teach the unblooded soldiers-for-the-holiday of this resort nation to fear the might of the Kaiser.
It is not long before you encounter what appears to be the enemy. They are ununiformed, only identifiable as enemy troops by their weapons and yellow armbands. Most likely militiamen, drawn up from the local territory to bolster the numbers of the defenders. They appear to lack any heavy weaponry, likely not having been trained in their use. They were filler soldiers, their only purpose being to shoot and hide.
From your position in a stunted litter of evergreens you observe a G-230 dive in. They scatter like rats as the fighter bomber’s machine guns stitch their way across their group. The strafing run does not seem to have had a great effect; the enemies were able to disperse enough in the long grass to minimize casualties.
However, the close presence of the plane appears to have masked your approach. Their backs are turned to you as you close in.

Carefully.
With strong will and understanding of the Multiverse.
Use chaos coal with regular iron. That's pretty much it.

“What the fuck is that!?” screams Thorn.
“It’s a Super Pershing!” yells Rascal. The big fat gun barrel swivels around to Rascal, immediately picking up on her noise. “… and it’s about to kill me. RUN!” A loud buzzing noise pierces the air. As you grab Thorn who’s still caught under the rubble, you see the end of the barrel glow intensely red. Rascal, Greta, and Aurelia scatter.
“Guys!” you yell. They all look back.

Only for Rascal to jump onto the turret, screaming and firing point blank into the shell. Her shots go through, but the insides regenerate faster than she can damage it. Aurelia too tries to hop on, only to hang off the hull, kicking her legs in the air as she tries to get up.
“Greta, get Thorn to safety!” She nods, pulling Thorn deeper into the bunker. Another drone tries his luck on you. But you quickly smash him into the ground and blast him with a burst. The huge crater the six of you...

So, uh, let's try this again. Hopefully this is a better starting time. Posting the last post from last night.
Information first, you decide. Ignoring his question, you instead present to him one of your own.
"So you and Laura... Laura really has no idea?"
"No," Mark responds vehemently, shaking his head. "You really think I would tell Laura if I was so worried about you finding out?"
"So you're saying that Laura's a blabbermouth," you say dryly.
Mark snorts. "No, I meant that...

Mark is getting restless and looks like he's about to say something. You realize that you should probably do something and either knock him out or try to convince him. You're reluctant to continue with the physical violence, however, as he has been your good friend so far and Laura really seems to like him. Comparing how studious and uptight Laura was in high school to the way she's opened up now, Mark's relationship with her might not be so bad.
Still, he is some kind of seduct...tress? er? You can't completely trust what he's saying.

You can thank individualism for the mentality.
Because if your magic is real, you can pull all that shit other people need crews, mechanics, researchers and lots of training for out ouf your hat.
Your income will be so much higher than theirs on account of that.

Sup /tg/.
All of us who've run games know that things go sideways easily - you have to keep things together without the players realizing that you're directing them, or how much of the session you're pulling out of your ass. For a project, myself and a bunch of other DMs are putting together a care package - a pdf for download that will have a whole bunch of game resources.
At present, we've got the following:
Adventure hooks - a few hundred, divided by genre.
NPC Generator tables - a helpful tool to quickly roll up a name, personality, and background for an npc you're generating on the fly, again broken down by genre.
Location generators - similarly, a handy tool to quickly roll up villages, cities, governments, even entire planes, if an unexpected plot direction takes you away from where you've prepared.
Links - online tools, dice rollers, ambient music, tip repositories, the kind of thing that you've relied on in running a game.
Despite the bulk of this, it still feels sparse - not enough of a resource. With that in mind, what else would you add? Anything that goes in has to be strictly text-based; as much as we'd love to, we can't include an actual dice roller in this package.
Also, general DM tip thread - things to help out first time DMs, and the best DM ass-pulls, when your players took your campaign entirely off the rails.
>>43872966
Tips for making maps, structuring scenarios/campaigns, basics of improv, that kind of thing.

>a bunch of tables aren't going to teach a DM how to improv
>basics of improv
A good point - I actually come from an improv theater background, so the problem for me had always been what to come up with. I usually tried to do the standard D&D thing of plotting out everything, statting NPCs, and figuring out every which way the plot could go.
Then my players got distracted by a carriage with an imperial seal on it that I had put in for plot direction, and I threw away the entire plot for some bullshit about a doupleganger coup that I had to cook up AS I WAS PLAYING.
It was the first, but not the last, time I had to throw away notes.
>>43873181
Plot decoration, rather.
