The answer to this conundrum is clear.
Jettison the explosive-laden life support onto the archipelago, simultaneously killing the natives and forcing the ship to land and make base.

We are dead. He blew the ship up. Game is over.

You forgot to jettison that guy with it
Well hey there /tg/
You should all be getting back from your weekly games today, huh? A lot of you, at least?
Didn't have one today? Maybe yesterday?
How did your weekly game go, huh?
You HAVE a weekly game, don't you?
>>43554260
Don't mock my pain, OP
No, I didn't have a weekly game. It wasdaily.
>>43554762
Damn, son. I'm lucky if I can play every month
Hi /tg/, post creatures that you feel don't get enough love in this thread. Here's mine:
Kinnaree
>Thai birdtaurs
>known to be excellent dancers and mischievous tricksters
>bird half allows them to fly to the mystical world
I feel like they could be a nice alternative to fey elves, or a centaur race that doesn't get fucked over by stairs.and I'm sure some monster girl degenerate wants some of that chicken cloaca
Selkie
>Gaelic seal-mermen/maids skin walkers
>very good-looking in human form
>often seduce married people unsatisfied on their current relationships.
>if you steal the skin of one they'll be forced to marry you, but if they get their skin back they'll run back to the ocean
A good way to work around people that want to play mermaids but still need to adventure on land, could have interesting relationship dynamics to roleplay.
>>43554355
These are probably my favorite mythic creature
Ziz
> equivilant to the Behemoth of the land, and the Laviathan of the sea.
>>43554979
>Ziz
With its size he is probably lives in space most of the time.
How would /tg/ build a Darkest Dungeon PnP?
>>43554018
D&D B/X or Chaosiums BRP (same system as RuneQuest 6 and MagicWorld) layered with rules for psycological disorders and morale. Setting the dark Fantasy tone is more up to the material.
>>43554018
It's just a highly lethal dungeon crawl.
Any Dungeon Crawl style system would work.
>>43554018
Warhammer Fantasy 2E
Any Retroclone
Is there a problem with having abilities that always produce the same result, but consume a randomized amount of resource, as opposed to having abilities that consume a fixed amount of resource and have varying effectiveness?
>>43553985
Yes. No. Depends.
>>43553985
In theory no, but it depends on a lot of surrounding info we don't have to make it "balanced".
>>43554149
Well the reason I have in mind for doing this is the resources in question exist in quite limited amounts, so instead of having things that consume less resource, you would have things that have a lower chance to consume resource.
How exactly would one create the equivalent of a spec ops force in a high fantasy world?
>>43553968
Basically you take Vernon Roache from the Witcher series, add in more invisibility spells and fireballs.
That's about it.
>>43553999
Nah, that shit can surely be traced by clever magic-hunters
You take vernon roche and just leave it like that
>>43553968
You start with a snazzy uniform and a cool name, everything else should be thought up either on the spot or during a bathroom break

ABRIDGED (BUT NEARLY COMPREHENSIVE) RULES

blocking is an ability, not all creatures can do it
mana zone, battlefield, and discard start empty

if you went first in turn order you skip your first draw
you lose if you *ever* try to draw from an empty deck

I think it's better to learn to rules from one of the video games that lets you play against the AI.
http://duelmasters.wikia.com/wiki/Duel_Masters_Video_Games
The deck editor would be a bit better with a visualization of the deck showing the arts not just names and numbers on the corner of the screen.
Ok I tried alone, I'm pretty sure I fucked up. Monociv because I don't know yet how to balance multiple civs on a deck.

How do I stop being a goblin?
>>43552666
What, no ranks in disguise?
>>43552666
Have a Druid cast Reincarnation on you.
You have a big feast or become a turkey. The gobblin' counteracts your goblin so you cease to be a goblin and become a human again.
Earth 4000 AD, and it is a time of prosperity. War is a thing of the past, and the countries of the world have united under one government. Faster-than-light travel is widely available, and contact with intelligent extraterrestrial life is common.
Time travel has been discovered, and thus a new department, the Timeline Integrity Monitoring Executive (TIME) Police, has been set up to prevent misuse and tampering with the timelines. All time travel technology and information is kept secret from the public eye and managed by the Executive.
You are one of its agents, fresh...

Not for this one I'm afraid.
One thing I miss about the pre-internet age is that slang terms were less standardized. Slang terms were often different from one subculture or social circle to another, or meant different things.
For example, what /tg/ refers to as "That Guy" I have always known as:
Gary. n. A Gary is a gamer who ruins the experience for everyone else. A Gary is often overweight or extremely underweight, has odious grooming habits or is very unappealing to look at. A true Gary combines these traits with a massively inflated sense of self-worth, a sore loser temperament or a tendency to insert bizarre or uncomfortable sexual elements into games.
So named because every single, ugly, egotistical pervert we ever gamed with just so happened to be named "Gary" for some reason. This included a fatass who once showed up to our CCG group wearing a children's Yu-Gi-Oh costume and demanding to be called "Seto Kaiba." We just called him "Fatso Cholesterol."
"OH MY GOD. This build should never die to a CR 4!! THis DM SUCKS and needs to learn to balance encounters!"
"Don't be such a Gary, dude."
>inb4 someone starts a Gary thread
>>43552474
>Fatso Cholesterol
>>43552474
My group had the term "flash" for flaky players, specifically girls who tried the game once, and then never played again.
"What happened to Jenny?"
"She was flash, man."
I wish either we had had more narrative games back then, or that I hadn't been so worried about appearances. (I deliberately avoided showing girls the World of Darkness games I owned, because I felt like it'd be sexist or something, having read about all the late nineties goth girl players.)...

No QuiteAnon was just a pretentious jerk. Pretending there was more to his cyoa then there was and just agreeing with almost anyone's guesses. Also that cyoa is poorly thought out in that all the sources you'd need to watch to get a vague idea of what he was spewing about aren't listed. He didn't think out every word or any other bullshit like that. Pretentious crap is all it was.

New as of last thread. An interesting idea as it is a spinoff of the order vs chaos cyoa.
I just made this. Is it good?
