How does /tg/ do dinosaurs in their games?
I got a Druid in my D?D game and the player absolutely wants dinosaurs so he can shift into one (need to see one first)... thinking of the old lost island classic
Also curious about other ideas
I generally think dinosaurs clash with a lot of classic fantasy theme's. If I include them the campaign has a non-tranditional setting.
I typically shoot at them until they stop moving

Hey how the heck does Remarkable Athlete work, seems like its kind of... fucking pointless, as is?

>What does your party do in their downtime, and how does the DM handle it?
Depends what's around.
In a big city, a character might go barhopping, picking up hot guys, and pickpocketing
While in a smaller settlement it's usually making good with the locals to make sure you have a group to defend you from shit when trouble eventually comes knocking.
I'm trying to make pic related, are there any wizard spells that combo well or have cool interactions?
Anons, why aren't you rushing out to buy Games Workshop $300 sets that are 5% off?
As much as I love GW's models and settings (well, one of them now at least), It absolutely blows my mind how a company can be so inept in regards to their community and marketing in general.
>>43849164
The Eldar kit doesn't have any models I want, and there isn't a Sisters of Battle kit.
Also, the savings are garbage compared to the normal discounts you can find elsewhere.
>>43849164
Because the store I play at gives me 20% off and if I pay in cash, they cover the sales tax. Also, the chaos bundles arent what I'm after. Glad they are doing slightly discounted bundles though. It's a good step forward
That better not be HERESY I see on your computer, anon!

When was your character last filled with DETERMINATION?
As for me, my paladin was last like this against a dragon turtle we fought. Took a steam breath to the face and kept screaming justice.
In the game I GM, the party was riding across a desert with some gnolls. The gnoll leader had an artificer companion that went nuts and forced the gnoll leader to kill the party's previous caravan members, most notably with stabbing their kindly old gandalf-style wizard leader. Everyone was kind of sad when he died, since he would shoot the shit and do magical drugs with them. worst off was the druid, he was a minotaur that only the wizard would talk magic with and didn't judge by appearance. After the artificer fucked off to do plot things, they had no choice but...

Determination is for people whose sense of self-worth is so low that they'll jump on a sword for some strangers they met in a bar half an hour ago.
Let the meatshields boast about their heroics, I'm fine with just getting paid.

Alcohol and/or drugs at the gaming table.
Yay or nay?
I dislike smoke mostly as it disturbs those around you. A lot of alcohol can be bad, but a little is fine.
Alcohol, sure... it actually makes one of my players bitch less.
Drugs... yeah, no.
Nay.
How would you do a black friday campaign?
Do it in Savage Worlds and run it like zombie shit, you have to kill as many Black Friday shoppers as possible. The Fast Furious Fun and Toughness mechanics of Savage Worlds would make it an ideal option for slaughtering hundreds of shoppers.
Imagine blowing a gaggle of teenage girls apart with a panzerfaust, reducing them to atomized blood and burnt splinters of bone, then pulling out dual AK-47s and mowing down all the soccer dads and Nascar moms that rush out at 6am to save a precious fucking 15% off.
I think that'd be an incredibly fun campaign, and you'd...

Everyone Is John, set at a mall.

The Wal.
The inhabitants of the mega-mall have long since forgotten what Black Friday once meant, but now, it is a period of terror. Stocker bots roam the aisles, tearing asunder hasty barricades and crushing fleeing unregistered shoppers under their heavy tread. The cult of the smiling one demands sacrifice, as eternally grinning cultists kidnap virgins to ritually disembowel and scan at the checkout. And, in the midst of all of this, the massive reduction in prices means that if you can find one of the rare...

Does your characters or bosses have theme songs?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BEk6YYrCfV0
> having a theme song for your character
Possibly the most cringeworthy special snowflake shit ever, unless you wrote it yourself and its actually good.
Sick of some faggot playing an anime song on his smart phone going "this song is so me ^_^"
Reminds me why I shouldn't let these kinds of idiots into my games.

Virt! Buddy! When did you get back?

Isn't "Ride of the Valkyries" the all time theme song for every character in Only War?

Ill do Orcs; only if we can be red and our leader's name is Chum'gunk!
How's All Flesh Must Be Eaten as a system? Does it have any glaring mechanical issues?
There isn't any room for stat + skill in the d10 number range, the exploding dice mechanic is fucked up and weird, the margins of success are also vaguely retarded, and the core mechanic is in general shit.
A .38 revolver takes like 3 shots to kill a nerdy college kid. Not okay for gritty horror.
Everything has too many fucking life points.
The stats are lame and the vehicle rules are crappy.
Overall, it's reminiscent of the shitty 80s-era RIFTS rpgs from Kevin Simbieda or however you pronounce that weird Italian name.
So overall,...

Someone who isn't this guy: is this accurate?
>>43847585
Yes.
Excuse me, Brother-Captain, but how do the Ultramarines have an omega symbol? Symbols change over time. That's a simple fact. Yet theirs has remained since the time of Ancient Greece, which was some 41 thousand years ago.
The Emperor knew the Greek alphabet and assigned it to the Ultramarines before Guilliman was found.
Just when everyone thought you'd finally grown up, you're back to spamming these threads.
Because if you are fighting them, that's the last thing you'll ever see.
This is a thread to post either original or historical quotes for characters to be able to use in game and help establish their personality.
I myself am looking for quotes that would fit an old, grizzled veteran soldier (medieval).
What are you guys looking for?
Bump the 2nd.
>>43847277
"It's 'Tommy this' and 'Tommy that' and 'Tommy, how's your soul?'
But it's the thin red line of valor when the drums begin to roll."
"I've served in Britain forty years. What should I do in Rome?"
Basically, anything Kipling will do.

Always be wary of an old man in a profession where men die young.
LCG thread: Act 3
Discuss anything about your favorite LCG's, news doubts whatever is fine for you.
The same as always Doomtown and Ashes are more than welcome.
I think mage wars should be added.
>>43847170
You know that is something that intrigues me. I mean what are the limits of the term LCG? what makes them one and what not?
>>43846816
We need to add L5R into that picture, it's probably second best of the lot.
Fuck it, starting a thread for this in the hopes that you guys could help an uncreative hack like myself out. About to run a fantasy quest where the players have to decide which of two warring races to support in defeating the other and was wondering exactly what to make the two be. Was initially going to go with angels and demons, which despite barely being a step up in originality from elves and the like, definitely creates some bias when they're supposed to be morally equal and the choice comes down to personal views and preference. Thanks in advance for any ideas.
Make it one kind of fantasy not!Slavs vs another kind of fantasy not!Slavs.

You are Solomon, a Ceph independent captain of the good ship Hot Needle of Inquiry. Along with your trusty Felinid pilot Deg and new engineer Mara, you strike out in search of relics in the northern Spin Ends.
