“What do we have, what do we have!?” The five of you quickly crowd into the bunker, big enough for you all to comfortably mount your Strikers and peer out at the incoming horde of Neuroi. However this little splinter branch got through the frontline, they’re really mean and they’re about to swamp you in their sheer numbers. “I need ammo and weapons count!”
“Well, we have our personal weapons…” Aurelia starts pulling the tarp off of the weapons mounted...

“We can’t.” You put your hands on your hips, looking to everyone. “At least not without a fight.”
“That many Neuroi will surround us,” mutters Rascal. “They’d have to airlift us out, if that’s even an option.”
“As much as I want a fight with these dastardly black devils, I have to agree. We must pick our fights carefully, and I say we should run while we still can.” Greta, not you too. Come on! You take another look at everyone. You’ve never been more disappointed,...

When we last left our heroes, Elite Cadet Anon and Sibella Dracula had fought and hacked their way through the vine-choked Grimwood Finishing School in search of the other ghoul girl students and Headmistress Grimwood. After a run-in with fellow cadet Jamal Williams possessed (?) by a haunted Egyptian mask and transformed into an 80's Slasher, Anon has recovered the majority of the school's occupants...

From the end of the last thread:
The assembled gang marches as one into the school's main lobby and around through the maze of vines towards what was once the gymnasium. Everyone follows your lead, both out of fear of being left behind in the office where they would be left to fend for themselves, and out of excitement to see Ms. Grimwood banish the evil demonic force that has nearly demolished their school.
You hold a nozzle attached to the tank of herbicide that Iggy is carrying a few feet behind you, while Sibella is carrying Elsa's brain for the moment. Elsa is the one to give the order;
"Iggy, THROW ZE SWITCH!"
He does so, and the hose in your hands coughs fitful spurts of the noxious chemical at the bark-encrusted gateway to the gym. It goes to work immediately, chewing into the chemical bonds that make up the Grim Creeper's defense, then splattering onto the wooden floor and eating that, too.
"Elsa, that's not herbicide is it?" asks Sibella.
"Echhh, it vas simpler to just make molecular acid."
"It's not stopping!" Sibella protests, leaning over to look at the hole the fluid is making in the school's floor and clear through into her basement apartment. "ELSA, IT'S EATING MY COUCH!"
"Ahhhhh!" Elsa's brain screams as Sibella gives the canister a firm shake.
"THAT CAME FROM ROMANIA YOU TWIT!"
Meanwhile, the bark seal breaks down and drops off the door in large wet chunks. The door opens...
Inside the gymnasium the normally wide open floor is covered in writing vines, many of which end in eye-stalks that perk up to peer at you as you kick the door in. All the vines trail back towards a pedestal of living vegetable matter atop which perches the "weird potato" that Iggy described earlier. It's single baleful eye glares at you, and the many mouths growing from it's extremities rise up and screech in collective warning.
It's the GRIM CREEPER!
Haha I loved this movie when I was a kid.

Good to see you back
/tg/, I require a statistical breakdown of my combat capabilities, in your opinion.

Not going to lke, I find these two pretty fucking dope.
Chaplain is tad weird with his two different halves of armor, one being plates, the other like muscles, astorath-ish, but the rest is really good looking.

Who has actually used this game for anything? What have you played on it?
>>43756939
Oldschool D&D
Love Letter
Splendor
Used it on my own to playtest a board game I made
>>43756939
It's extraordinarily good for playing board games, especially board games with many cards and expansions, like Arkham Horror or Munchkin.
I use Roll20 for DND but all the utilities are on TS if you want to use them - and they're in 3D.
Also fun to dick around with games like Life or Pictionary.
I use it. IMO, Tabletop Sim works best for simpler board games. It's fantastic for things like Red Dragon Inn, King of Tokyo, Duels of the Battle Wizards, basically anything that doesn't involve a lot of components and precise positioning.
As you start adding more components, it gets more and more fiddly. Still possible, but less ideal. You can play Battlestar Galactica on it, but it involves a decent amount of work, for example.
I wouldn't use it for RPGs or card only games, those are both better served by specific clients like Roll20 or OCTGN....

>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?

It's not really that important. I'm not sure anyone really tracks ranges inside of a melee. That stuff's for ranged engagements.
Yo, anyone got that Behemoth that was posted here a while back?
It's not in the homebrew folder.
Also, is it actually a challenge for a circle?
/tg/ I DM'ed myself into a corner because I was doing it freestyle with no notes or plan.
While exploring the necromancer's lair, the PC's came across a room with a coffin, pierced by six spears and surrounded by a ring of salt.
It is not the necromancer, but something he has contained.
What is it? What would the BBEG need to keep so contained?
The PCs want to go back and open it at some point, they couldn't agree on when, though. What are some clues to the contents I can insert to try to sway them one way or another?
What is in the coffin?
>>43756718
Inside the coffin is a child.
She is a vampire.
Since she has not had any contact with the outside world, She will be surprised when the party objects to her feeding on them.
She is useless in a fight but quite the homebody.
She also has a disease that makes your dick fall off if you bring it near her.
Give us a few details on your setting to go off of. I'm thinking failed experiment may be a good idea, but perhaps a rival.
>>43756718
The PCs find the living embodiment of the apocalypse in the coffin. She is a cute little girl and completely oblivious to her role as the sign of the end times.To avert the apocalypse she needs to grow up happy. Game is now a parenting sitcom.
Taking as a given that the creation of Pathfinder was akin to the Protestant Reformation, when can we expect Pathfinder to tear itself apart and become dozens of fractious games with pretensions of purity?

Once you go 3pp, you rarely want to go back to Paizo shite.

Sauron did ___________ wrong.
>>43756641
Sauron did ________.
Aging and/or picking husbandos
intelligence gathering
His ring got destroyed because he could not understand that there existed a race of diminutive mortals who just did not give a single fuck
Stress testing that shit with some dinky rings of power could've saved him a lot of hassle down the road
How would you justify potions being made from forcibly taken "life essence"? The more unwilling, the stronger the potion.Hard Mode #1: The younger the boy for his race, the more powerful the potion too.
Hard Mode #2: "Life essence" from monsterboys only.
Only if you make it so each healing potion is distilled from his scrotum after whatever horrible tortures you are planning.
As in, castration. He only makes one batch of potions, then he becomes a fuckboi. If you're gonna magical realm, do it all the way.

Become The Vampire Quest 5
You get into the passenger seat of Blake's car and get comfortable. Heated seats, nice. You idly wonder how much he spends maintaining this thing, and as he gets into the driver's seat you give the sound system a once over. The console looks like something out of a science fiction film, all chrome and covered in buttons. Blake smirks at you and turns the engine on, closing his door right as the music starts to play.
Ow.
You cover your ears and see Blake laughing out of the corner of your eye. He adjusts a dial, and the heavy metal that had savaged your ears drops to a reasonable volume. It's not that you don't like metal, and the bass is still throbbing, but Blake's eardrums are apparently made of steel or something. You glance back at Sammy and spot her covering her own ears and whimpering. Blake puts the car in drive and the engine roars to life as he speeds away from the school.
"So Oliver, tell me about the man who saved my cousin. What do you do?"
You consider the question for a moment before smirking.
"Petty theft, free running and I recently took up staking vampires."
Blake laughs.
"You're hilarious, man. A guy like you, jumping off a roof and picking a pocket? Now I've heard everything."
He shifts into a higher gear and you find yourself almost glued to your seat. He's barely adjusting the wheel at all, but you can tell you're taking the turns pretty sharply. There's definitely magic involved, you just hope there's enough of it to compensate for his reckless and casual driving.
>Write-in
The Rules:
Same system as Become The Dragon Quest. If you don't know what that is, it's best of three d20 rolls. I name a stat that sums up what you're trying to do, and if I don't name a relevant skill, you try to fill in the blank based on what you're trying to accomplish. “Break open the door” might be Strength based, but if you've been playing baseball after school and there's a lead pipe nearby, you could apply your Baseball skill to the roll. A 20 on the die is a crit threat, and if either of the other two rolls is 20 or higher...

To be honest all three were for survival and self defense. I also got lucky.
When it comes to a setting without horses what special considerations should be implemented for insect mounts?

Greetings bes/tg/irls and boys, I need ship art. Lots of it. Rigging, hull, deck, sail, I don't care! Any of it will help me out.
Also, ship-like ocean-going constructs are cool too.
Thanks!

About to DM soon and i haven't really prepared many quests in advance mind throwing a few quick ideas at me?
>>43756005
Without knowing your setting this will be difficult to make
Local baker has prepared what he calls the world's largest cake. Players go on a fairly easy retrieval mission and give the large amounts of flour, sugar, and lard to the baker. 3 days later they have to fight this mysterious 20 feet tall cake golem.
Rolled 81 (1d100)

I have no idea what kind of game you're running, so the best I can contribute is this.
