Chapter 1 - The Boy Chosen by the Stars
-------------------------------------------------------------
"Together, we'll save the world." That's what the voice from the light said, before it pulsed into your chest, filling your being.
You're Caleb Connors, now thirteen years old, on your way to visit your friend. You live in the city of Skyline, California. You live with your father, and your mother has been gone for as long as you can remember.
And now, there is a voice in your mind, calling itself "Delta", and telling you...

>>43827525
"Well, you aren't technically a Magical Boy yet." The voice says. "You see, my race doesn't have a physical form to interact with the world. Rather, we exist purely as souls. However, when we merge with a human's soul, they can wield our power to do things far beyond the ordinary."
"So, let me get this straight. I have super powers?"
"Well, I'm still 'settling in', to use Earth colloquialism, 'senpai'." You cringe at...

Couldn't have made this a general tg collection thread so you had something to show? Honestly, one set of dice as an OP does enough to start a dice thread.
After reading PF, 5e, and 3.5e I gotta ask this. Is there any point in rolled saving throws? I thought this was one of the single things 4e did right. Even people I met who hated 4e thought it was also better.
For the same reason you roll for attacks. Also having a 5% chance to fail any save is kind of nice, since you can never fully ignore even weak attacks.
Saves as static defense values is yet another of the great ideas 4e had that 3.PF fans shat all over because it was new and different.
It's legacy reasons only. Sacred cows.
>>43826841
You still have the 5% in 4e - it's the attacker's chance to crit.
So I'm creating a World for D&D 5e.
General idea is this:
Players start in a city with no connection to the outside world a mysterious barrier surrounds the city in a circular shape and continues vertically leading to the great blot in the sky. The barrier supplies constant light for the inhabitants.
The city's main knowledge base is what remains of a vast library. Book burnings and other things have occred. Mysteriously these books constantly talk about Wizards and Sorcerors, Clerics and the magic they can all cast. But no one has ever seen...

>Now the party yearns to answer these questions and find out if they are the only civilization in the world.
This is where you made a critical error.
Don't ever assume the party is interested in something. They will only betray your expectations and find interest in something incredibly pointless and asinine.
>>43826549
As you can probably guess the City was in a bottle. The general idea is the players while questing and exploring may find the bottled cities while adventuring and can uncork the bottle to release the city trapped within.
Essentially the players can do what they want with the cities but the bottles are indestructible and the center of gravity for the bottles are always made so that turning it upside down won't kill everyone inside
The reason the cities were sealed in the bottle is that there...

I like it.
You are Shee Hyul, rebel leader, psychic and Reunited. Your world is ruled by inhuman creatures and this has gone on far too long, it’s time to fight back.

You and the Rainyas form a group yourselves, and you politely rebuff requests by others to join.
“And” says the coordinator, grinning “to make this more exciting, we'll use ultimate crossover rules – the base you pick will be from a fictional genre and your weapons, armour and base defences will match it.”
“Wow” says Rainya, looking over the arena: a massive warehouse-sized area featuring mash-up of ancient ruins, spacecraft, colony-level tech and monster-movie scenes.
Pick your base?

"Easy there, you're okay. I know this is a lot to take in but the Crises is only getting worse. Doomsday is rampaging through the streets, Metropolis is being bottled by Brainiac, and Apokolips' forces are in full assault. And if we don't stop them and their Blackhole generator, it doesn't just mean the end of our world, but the end of life in this galaxy or beyond.
I can't do this alone, if we are going to save this world we are both going to have to pull together, as friends, as allies.
Are you with me?"

Huh. With this collection of powers I feel like I'd probably cause more harm than good if I tried to assist directly. How about I just buff you guys and then stay out of the way?

Corporate
In cyberpunk settings, I'm always a little skeptical about how the megacorporations are portrayed so negatively. There's more than a little Commie bias floating around. I figure in reality, they're probably not as bad as all that. Plus, the corporate lifestyle really would be the safest, most comfortable, and most stylish way to go.
Corporate types always get cooler stuff anyway.
I'm going to admit it, /tg/: My feelings are hurt because of a player. And I need you to tell me that either I did nothing wrong and the other guy is an asshole, I did everything wrong and need to improve to avoid this happening again, or I need to man up and quit being a bitch.
So I'm proud to DM a Pathfinder campaign going steadily on for over two years now. We started out with five players, but now we only have three. We've been looking for more in our local area over the course of MONTHS.
Well we thought we finally found one, we invited him over...

>if I couldn't figure out a way to get him actively involved in the game in 8 hours, then I failed him as a DM and he doubted another 8 hours gaming with me would be any better
Having read the thread, I'm sticking with my initial reaction.
I agree. While it may of been hard to get him in the party that made full sence it wasn't impossible. They got in a fight? Leap out of a bush and help. Lost in the forest he stumbles on the party's camp.
And while these seem to be bland ideas they are still things that can be done.
Nothing is worse then a player left out for stupid reasons.
Are they half way across the country on a time sensitive mission? That's a good reason.
Are they tieing up the horses 5 minutes away? You can wait to start the combat.
But op. It's on you and...

>rolling to confirm critical hits
There is literally no good reason for this
Trying to make it harder to crit on a harder-to-hit monster than a monster you can hit 80+% of the time.
>>43825297
Why not?
>>43825424
This.
It just would be weird if there was a monster that was so tough you could only hit it 5% of the time, but each and every time you did manage to hit it, you dealt double damage.
I personally don't care for the AC mechanic in the first place.
(PAST THREAD - http://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/43814368/ )
You are Tylus Adriaanse. A force sensitive human from the Outer-Rim planet of Drascent – A militaristic Hutt planet that gains its fortunes from the scavenging of deserted planets: Making you quite valuable to Doja Bogga Grella, reigning patriarch, as your nascent recognition of the force allows you to recognize force-imbued relics, often some of the most valuable treasures.
In exchange for relative freedom from the usual slavery the huts place upon your kind, you’ve been conscripted into the Treasury Expedition Force, composed of 20 soldiers of various races with you at the commanding helm.
And as of the last thread, you have entered the tomb of the hooded man and have sent soldiers down a fork in the road to examine the different paths after finding evidence of someone currently living within the tomb. All soldiers reported back with the exception of your soldiers sent down the central corridor where echoes were heard.
---
The damp atmosphere of the tomb once again has condensation forming on the inside of your mask, making it uncomfortable to breath. The same reaction seems to happen throughout the company, stressed men and women of several races stripping of their helms to cool their flushed faces.
"Commander, what next?" The voice of one of your compatriots rings over the comms network.
Grasping your blaster firmly, you decide the next course of action.
A.) Follow the missing group of soldiers with the remaining 16 and yourself.
B.) Focus on clearing the blocked passageway
C.) Stealthily, with 3 or less soldiers, attempt to scout the passageway yourself.
D.) Other (Write-In)Sorry about the thread ending early last night, been on medication that's made me sleepy as hell lately and sorta passed out.

So this seems pretty unprecedented, GW is actually throwing a sale tomorrow. Details are still unknown but still how long has it been since GW has done a sale for anything? 10+ years?
Are they finally figuring out good business practices?
They just want to get rid of the Warhammer Fantasy stuff
>>43824701
I was thinking that as well. I wonder if the deals are going to be heavily fantasy-sided.
>>43824701
>>43824838
Theyre not. There's a lot of fantasy stuff too, but it's still mostly 40k.
And it's nothing to get excited about. The 'deals' are all huge combos adding up to about $300+ each, saving you about $30. They're not doing half off any individual kits or anything like that.
This is GW we're talking about, cmon.

Shame about the DLC bullshit. Still might preorder though for the smug value.
>>43824240
Hype!
Grimgor is the savior the old world needs! remember, remember the butthurt of the ender.
Don't particularly care. This "greenskins unite to show they aren't a joke faction" thing isn't my cup of tea. I like when they're all about dicking around and having a good time smacking others and each other up, whether they're a real threat to the existence of other factions is irrelevant.
