What would you want out of the inevitable Return to Theros?
More doom blade.

Almost a copy of Theros except for three changes
>All rares cost 1 less
>All mythics cost 2 less
>No returning planeswalkers
We'll call it... "We fixed Theros"

Thank you fellow Captain!
A thread dedicated to discussion and feedback of games and homebrews made by /tg/ regarding anything from minor elements to entire systems, as well as inviting people to playtest your games online. While the thread's main focus is mechanics, you're always welcome to share tidbits about your setting.
Try to keep discussion as civilized as possible, avoid non-constructive criticism, and try not to drop your entire PDF unless you're asking for specifics, it's near completion or you're asked to.

This threads have just not been doing well lately.
>>48235152
Personally, I don't read or post much anymore because /gdg/ doesn't seem to talk about singular mechanics much. I'd like to have smaller themes than slinging whole pdfs around.
I think the general is more of a brainstorming box, I just remake it because i really enjoy the different ideas not related to anything in particular.
My current goal is to design a hex based modern combat skirmish type game, and was wondering what type of targeting anons use for a hex based map,as in scale LoS etc.
Its the evolution of my current square grid skirmish game that has yet to be completed but is at least playable. The hex version introduces more actions, weapons as well as environment interactions/buffs.
So? Why can't normal imperial guard use theses.
>>48313363
A better question is why can't i use theses? as 40k guard.
>>48313387
I'm more of a fan of rapiers, they fit my style of fighting as mass inf.

I beat you wish you had stood in bed?
After the new controversy what Pokemon started, after the release of Pokemon Go, I asked myself again, has Warhammer (both, Fantasy and 40K) ever been in the crossfire of a christian group like B.A.D.D.?
I (surprisingly) haven't found there anything so far...
(Picture more or less unrelated)
>>48310894
D&D featured pagan religions prominently, 40k on the other hand showcases a protagonist religion which is a space age version of Christianity. Would you really be worried if you got home and your son was painting up some black templars? Of course not.
>but what about chaos
I remeber when my pastor found out about 40k, and he was going to warn parents about the chaos factions. I showed him the 3.5ed chaos book and he was so furious at how underpowered it was he decided it was fine.
Googling "moral panic" with Warhammer gives surprisingly little relevant results, nearly everything's related to the big D&D scare. I did see one anecdote of someone being allowed to keep their Chaos books, because it wasn't D&D, which was wat everyone was worried about.
I do wonder what a Warhammer 40K moral outrage would look like. There would be a sense of irony to it, given the Imperium's emphasis on religious fanaticism, blind faith and willful ignorance

Truly inhuman savages.
GAMES WORKSHOP HAS STOPPED SELLING HARDCOVERS.
Why?
A thread died for this.
>>48310621
Back when I played wh40k (1990s), everything was in softcover. I like it better, it takes up less space.
>>48310621
It costs them less money and people will still buy their crap anyways

Can a Cure Disease spell fix autism?
If it can, there is hope for OP and this board.
>>48309568
No, autism is a spectrum so you need to cast color spray and hope one of the status effects counters it.
>>48309568
Is it a disease or is it evolution?
Checkmate, clerics.
Daily reminder that all Constructed formats are by definition pay-to-win.
I have to buy at least 60 cards so I can play a legal deck? Oh my, what monsters of WotC not letting me play my 0 card deck and just insta winning every tournament. Fuck off.
>>48309032
Is it weird that I kind of like the concept of deck building games that play like CCGs but just sell whole sets? Never played one though.
I fucking hate how whenever I play magic I literally need to stick to kitchen table just because I know I'm running jank that will get dumpstered at any sort of public forum but hate having to do aftermarket shit or buy a shitload of boosters every set.
I think the last straw was some guy who ran that 1/1 for W that becomes a 6/6 flying lifelinker if you have more than 30 life then rushed to remove everyone he didn't know personally from the game. Very aggravating.
>>48309531
Isn't that what LCGs are?
Tell me /tg/, what is the craziest thing you've eaten in a game?
>>48308611
The DM's poor excuse of a plot.
A skeleton with 500 arms. The skeleton was normal sized, as were the arms.
Is flipping pogs considered a traditional game?
>>48308518
Yes
>>48308518
Yes, but there's not much to talk about beyond hoping they make a comeback.

I think you mean "Milk Bottle Caps"...?

(an adventure for level 1 players)
I'm imagiing a small black dog that constantly foils the PC's
steals babies and runs off with them
breaks into houses and bites the noses off old women
extremely racist
an evil genius
sets up traps
lures you into bad situations
leads you into dens of criminals
hides in the bog and lures you in to drown
sometimes spasms and attacks own tail
steals burning torches and sets...

pushes old men under water wheels
thows dead cats in between the windmills grinding-wheels, ruining the corn
when the mill-wheels are taken out for washing, it removes the chocks and sents one rolling through town, smashing through walls
it uses this to break into the bank (it wants the money, which it will throw in the river)
people think an old man is master of the dog but he is terrified of it
you get sucked into its all-encompassing plan
it rules crime in this town, the thieves guild are all terrified of it
attacks pregnant...

I'd probably just skip town.
Evil dogs are too hardcore for me.
>All rodents are now helpful little cleaners
How does this affect your setting, /tg/?
>>48307587
The rodents either lose this new behavior, or die out in favor of other competing creatures that do not engage in such wasteful behavior.
Our party gets chased out of town for clearing the tavern cellar of rats.

It's cleaner.
So, we all know that half-somethings and part-whatevers have been a thing in Dungeons & Dragons pretty much since it stopped being Chainmail Fantasy Wargame. The half-elf and half-orc are considered racial staples, to the point that one of the biggest riots of 4e was that half-orcs weren't in the first PHB.
But, I'm curious... does anyone actually ever make note of the fact that, to get your mixed-breed races, you've got to have interspecies couples in the first place?
Have you ever used it in plot-points - say, safeguard the human prince and...

Generally I just say races aren't fertile with eachother unless a half-race is specifically mentioned as part of the setting (see Half-Elves and such).
Interspecies romances still exist of course, but an elf and a dwarf aren't having any children unless adoption is involved.
DM tends to stick to what's in the books. Only time I can recall it being an important part of the plot, was when a kobold character I had was married to a human.
All the time, OP.
In my current campaign, I'm waiting for the player characters to explore the nearby forest enough that they run into a couple that lives in the woods, an orcess herbalist who one day rescued and healed a human surgeon after he'd become lost in the woods; they fell in love while he was convalescing and married and now they're the local wound-healing power-couple. (The surgeon is also an obsessive reader of elvish history and knows about some elvish ruins in the woods that he would love to explore and loot, if only some tough adventurer...

Did you ever wanted to make a card game?
No, but I have wanted to use correct grammar in my OP
>>48307513
Fuck, so I just let the thread die and make another one?
Not seriously, but I have been thinking of ways to improve on the nearly-perfect systemDuel Mastersuses.

Hey everyone,
Some friends of mine from high school ended up making a card game and it actually looks pretty nice. It seems to be a play on Love Letter except the points matter and affect the game?
Thought I would share because it looks kind of nifty.
If interested I can try and get the Print N Play version off of him for you guys?

>except the points matter
But card values already matter in Love Letter.
>>48307144
i mean like the points cause different endings and narrative things to happen
>>48307164
...what the hell are you talking about?
Why would you need anything more than "Player 1/2/3/4 wins" for a 2-minute card game?
