It's a cold autumn day, the air has a deathly chill to it, the sky is an uncaring and dull grey. And like usual on days like this, everyone is either working, sick, or hiding indoors. This is no different in the school yard of the lucky coin.
Even in a place so strange as this, people have things to do, and many don't do...

>A diamond-thief from Switzerland decides to rob your local game store
How baby-easy would it be right?
It's a wonder these things don't happen more often.
The store owner would chop him to death with the big sword next to the register.

its happened at our lgs a couple times. each time the robber smashes in and steals the empty register, leaving all the valuable pieces of cardboard

The White Wolf's immense size and bulk slam into you, even as you pull yourself out of the way of its teeth and out-stretched claws! The impact lifts you off your feet and the harsh, grating crack of ribs pushed too far has Elia calling out your name in panic, from his safe haven up in the tree! The breath is driven from you as you crash to the ground, your spear...

You hear the sound of feet hitting the ground as Elia swings down from his tree and sprints over to you. Together, you heave the weighty carcass off your midsection, allowing you to breathe again and instantly give a croaking cry of pain.
"Your ribs are bad, brother," Elia says, helping you sit up.
"That's obvious," you groan bitterly. "Where's the rest of the pack?"
"They scattered when the white one ate fire and died. I've never seen anyone fight like that...

I have waited for this day
Someone slipped a letter under my door inviting me to a "meta-role-playing experience".
Time and place are listed, but I don't recognize the location.
Should I go?
>>43564718
No.
Sounds like an orgy. Bring lube and leave your underwear at home.
>>43564718
You should scout out the location beforehand. If it's in a shady neighborhood you might want to skip it. If not at least you'll know how to get out of there if it gets weird.
Keep us posted!
I just realized hit points were actually damage reduction all along, just represented in a way that's more convenient for players to use.
Like I get they're an abstraction, but they're not even an *objective* abstraction. Depending on your level, 10 damage could be an instant KO, or it could barely draw blood. Higher-level characters don't get used to getting hurt more, they literally get hurt less by the same amount of damage. Otherwise they'd look like chunky pasta sauce by the time they get to triple-digit damage and still not die, which I've...

Took you long enough?
>>43564656
Yep, that's pretty much how it goes, and it's why simple HP systems are so popular.
>>43564656
>ITT: We try to make HP systems sound smart.
You can tell yourself that until it actually starts making sense to you, and it will still all come crashing down as soon as you run into fall damage or poison or any number of things that don't fit your HP apologist drivel.
The only relevant observation you can make on HP systems is generally:
>Well, yes it's retarded, but it bugs me less than having to think more would.
I am casual as fuck playing D&D 5 sometime next week, I have been asked to play as a healer, I hate clerics and Palas, but gotta heal. I initially thought of some apothecary arcanist or something but realised D&D doesnt have that.
I am defenitely not going Palas, so defaulted to cleric, what is the best way to be a human centric cleric out to push his temple's agenda and heal but turn on his companions when need be?
What abilities and advantages should I choose?
First thing you need to know about Clerics. They're not just healers. You're a holy warrior of your church, sent out to bring the light into the dark places of the earth, to fight evil wherever it may lurk. You're almost like a Paladin, but with a bit less focus on fighting and more focus on divine magic. And that magic is absolutely not limited to healing. There's buffs, utility spells, and even some useful damaging spells in there too. Not to mention that Turn Undead makes you the go to guy for dealing with a major enemy group. And in any other fight you...

I have been playing my groups cleric for about 4 years now and i wouldnt have it any other way
Have you ever heard of Nuwa, the creator goddess of Chinese mythology?
See Pic. She is not a lamia or naga, but a primordial serpent goddess.
>After Pangu's body became the world there were plants and animals but no humans. Nuwa felt lonely, she saw her own reflection in water and decided to create more beings like herself, so she fashioned humans from clay but instead of the lower body of a snake she gave humans legs instead.
>The first human were very intelligent since they were crafted individually....

It's interesting because at least from what you've said, unlike many other creator gods there doesn't seem to be some kind of debt of gratitude or demand of worship.
Most other creator gods require or demand some form of worship or sacrifice, and impose dire consequences should the sacrifice or worship not be delivered satisfactorily.
>>43565372
Worship and sacrifice are rather antural evolutions from more primitive forms of appeasing the elements and maybe even having them work for you a little. Religion getting more organized just tends to institutionalize those things.

So, did anyone of you ever managed to have an enjoyable campaign of Only War oris it the most boring system ever?
>>43563601
Waiting for this Anon to post their Christmas Deathwatch story. Now I've started to come up with a Dark Heresy story to run that's along the lines of The Grinch. Like a Nergal demon stealing all of the food from the Hive Houses or something.
How does one into human(ish) melee psyker assuming the GM isn't physically present to choke me for my bullshit?
What's your preferred starting level - or equivalent - for a campaign, and why?
Pic unrelated
Campaign of what? D&D? Necromunda? Mutants and Masterminds?
Solidly competent but with room for growth.
I find the hurr durr gritty starting as shitty mudfarmers thing untenably dull. I know some people enjoy it, but personally even in low power games, I like to play characters of significance and competence, otherwise it's just a comedy of errors as we roll from failure after failure, desperately trying to accomplish, well, anything.
Crazy event that brings *insert number of party members* unlikely people together. Am I glad my orc got that awful crit fail sense motive check roll, it involved some craziness in the bar and made the meeting of the characters more interesting than the usual meeting in the bar.
