If you have not read this, do so. The art is great, the cosmology fantastic, the potential for an eventual rpg high, and updates have been pretty fast and consistent without compromising quality. It is relatively new though.

sorry for keeping you waiting, anons.
You may want to check Encyclopedia, I sorted the entries. Looks better now.

What are people's opinions on pre-made quests for 5e dnd?
Specifically Princes of the Apocalypse but all others are welcome.
>>43821269
I used to think they were a crutch for bad GMs. Now that I have a lot less time on my hands, they're great. You just have to be careful that your game doesn't start going on rails
>>43821269
I fucking hate 5e but blizzard are fairly good at making adventures so there probably not to bad if you insist on playing a shit system anyway.
>>43821269
They can be restrictive, but are quite good for DMs without the time to make their own adventures or NPCs. Like people with jobs, families, and hobbies other than roleplaying.
PotA is pretty good as a dungeon crawl. I mean, it has zillions of dungeons and a fairly decent plot to tie them all together. Depending on how much you and your players like elemental-themed stuff (elemental monsters, elemental cultists, elemental spells, elemental magic items, etc. ad nauseum) you may or may not get tired of all the fire/water/air/earth related stuff. It does get a little predictable and boring after a while.
But the dungeon locations are great, with all kinds of cool combos, scenarios and NPCs in them. Ending's a bit weak IMO but YMMV.
Hey /tg/ have any of you ever tried making your own card game?
I'm not talking about a collectible game because I doubt it's feasible to do adequately.
Personally I've always liked battle type card games like pokemon, yugioh, magic, and elements or hearthstone online. I want to make my own game using a standard set of cards that everyone can build a deck from (maybe 100 or so). I don't want to copy mechanics from other games or make a weaker version of magic.
What do you guys think? Any advice/tips on how to make it decent or if it's...

You literally just described Android: Netrunner and similar LCGs.

not sure what you mean, i haven't described a game at all

The players play a group of deckers in an over the top 80s style-over-substance cyberpunk setting. Hacking involves running literal dungeons full of literal ICE monsters.
How do you describe the dungeons so that they sound cool and surreal? In cyberspace visuals are just metaphors so things can look however I want them to but I'm kind of stumped. Tron is kind of passe by this point.
Base your dungeons off of the corporation or institution the PCs are infiltrating.
>Japanese biotech corp
It's a giant garden shrine defended by mythological beasts.
>Heavy industry and shipping
It's a giant intelligent machine with moving parts that the PCs must manipulate to gain access to different sections.
>Arms manufacturer
It's a 1940s military bunker with code phrases and stoic virtual security troopers.
Ask them what it is they see when they jack in, work with what they give you.
Personify the sort of programs that are in the system, into 'living' entities or scenery:
Daemons that are hard to see, cleaning up things\carrying stuff around.
Warehouses full of memory, or a library, or a messy office.
Hunter-killer robots that are anti-ICE security.
A bloated mass of fat and tentacles managing all the other programs.
Trains\railguns\satelites for network communications.
Super helpful and polite UI stewards.

Are you trying to tell me a morality system with 9 categories, in a setting that has owlbears and beholders, is unrealistic? My mind is blown!
>>43820186
>Sentient
>Has no choice over it's own morality
Those two are mutually exclusive, so no, it is not possible.
>>43820186
Probably, though I personally wouldn't bother. I prefer to leave races basically neutral and have massed generic evil mooks be such because this particular mob is, say, from a dickass organization or influenced by a dickass supernatural power.

I'm looking to buy/build my first magic deck, are those intro packs any good?
>>43819970
they can be pretty good as a base but they will need some work there perfectly fine to play with out of the box at first though.
in fact I still use them as a basis for my decks sometimes
>>43819970
No.
Also don't start if you're not prepared for:
-hyper-competitive jackasses with a twisted sense of 'having a fun time';
-Spending 300+ on a competitive deck found on Internet and having to adapt it or scrap it and start another one entirely every other month to remain competitive, or otherwise, losing miserably every game;
-People of age 30+ who will gladly strip children of their best cards in exchange for some flashy shit;
And so on.
If you don't want to keep...

i was also thinking of buying the deck builders toolkit., but i think thats better to play with a balanced deck instead of builidng one from scratch.

Their ability to process dopamine is still largely intact, allowing them to enjoy themselves without having to go to greater and greater lengths to feel like they matter.

At least I get to keep Mana Leak, Elvish Mystic, Doom Blade, Ponder and a large etc :^)

Hey /tg/
I've got a campaign coming up and I want to make a wizard, but I don't want my character and their backstory to be boring and generic and cliched. But I'm also a bit uncreative. Any of you want to help me shoot some ideas?
One idea I had was actually a Sorcerer that was raised by a wizard and grew up thinking they were a wizard, and they unnecessarily prepare their spells every morning. But, I actually want to play a wizard class, so that won't work.
Personally I'm a fan of playing younger, more inexperienced casters, as opposed to old and wise wizards. My last wizard character was a student at a state-sponsored magic academy and got assigned to the rest of the party as an "adviser" on magical matters (the leader of the city owed the party a political favor). The character's main goal was to survive the shit the party got into and graduate magic school. Yeah, it was kind of a "boring" backstory, but it worked. Remember, the meat of the game should happen within the game itself, nobody wants...

Well, I was mentally batting around the idea of playing a Dwarven Wizard with an insatiable thirst for exploration/knowledge. But I don't want him to seem like a snowflake kind of thing either, but I do want him to seem like an outlier to the rest of his clan.
He's the weirdo who wants to go to the surface and trample across fields, paddle a boat across lakes, and climb mountains instead of dig into them
>>43819451
Just have them plainly state, "We had differences of opinion", leave it at that, and if anyone cares enough to ask, let them.
What's the highest power leveled campaign you've played in? Any system.
>>43818422
Psion in a level 15 D&D 3.5 campaign.
>>43818422
Mutants and Masterminds PL 10, the one I'm in now
>>43818518
How is it going so far?
You guys remember D&D 3.5, right?
Okay, so there was this book called Lords of Madness with all kinds of information on Mindflayers, and Neogi, and Beholders, and other freaks like that.
There's a magic item in the beholder section called "Mouth Pick" that allows beholders to wield melee weapons in their mouths.
Do you think it would be possible to create +1 mouth pick shurikens?
>>43818420
I don't see why not
I don't actually have lords of madness though so I don't know.
>>43818420
No.
Mouth Pick can only be applied to melee weapons.
>>43818420
Remove gazer, gazer is worst girl.
So, we always hear a lot about shitty players and shitty GMs. What are some times when a GM (or player, really) has just been awesome and really made the campaign for you?
Let's get a This Guy appreciation thread going. We've heard enough about That Guy.
>>43818236
He let me live despite failing five save rolls in a row.
>>43818236
He let me live despite completely failing combat against a giant spider. Turns out it had paralyzing poison rather than >>43818236
any other kind.
>>43818236
The GM knew I didn't want to keep playing my character, even though I hadn't said anything. Guy reads people well.
So he put us in a situation where only I could save us and only through self sacrifice. I got to go out like a champ and start a new character I was more interested in.
