Today, I got an ultrasound of my child.
So let's have a thread about illithids. They're cool. Any art or interesting fluff would be appreciated.
For instance these are illithid inquisitors, basically adventuring parties. I think that would be a good campaign.
You wanted people to comment about your ultrasound, so here you go.
Don't start your thread with something off-topic and then just follow it with lip service to keep your thread from being deleted.

Rather, it put me, oddly, in mind of the central conceit behind a race that reproduces through body horror.
But okay. Maybe I should have made that clearer.

These things are fucking terrifying in gurps.
400 points or so, minimum, that just to all the fancy brain powers.
Recap Thread 2
You've settled into a sort of mechanical reactionary state-
Your enemies are, essentially, phantoms.
Suicidal and homicidal phantoms.
Or maybe not suicidal? Homicidal isn't up for discussion, they are most definitely giving their all to kill you.
But whether they're being directed to attack you in some sort of attempt to drown you in their spilt blood, or are just reliving whatever shattered remnant of history this village seems to represent isn't something you're personally privvy to.
Of course, this...

How would you run with this general concept?
>>47913357
>>A Blackguard that identifies as Paladin
Classes are an out of character concept. Your character can call themselves whatever the fuck they want.
However, don't be shocked when your lack of ability to cast spells means that no one takes you seriously as a wizard.
Indulge me /tg/. What constitutes an "edgy" character when it comes to rpgs like DnD?
Member of evil race 'struggling to find the light'.
Carries many weapons.
Commits violent acts for no real reason.
'Edgy' characters can be redeemed by having other facets to their personality. Edginess is only an issue if it's the only side a character has.
>>47903350
Badly written or no backstory at all
Shock factor elements that are typically teenage, such as being against the establishment just because it's the establishment, or other chaotic to chaotic evil characters.
Being a horrible or straight sociopathic person without any thought put into what that means for your character and how the world interacts with him. Including playing a character that the party would not associate with and has no reason to adventure together with, yet here we are.
An orphan whose parents were murdered (preferably in front of him).
The subject of a terrible curse, hinting at some sort of grand destiny.
Is of a member of a rare race that is looked down upon by most people, or that otherwise appears monstrous and will not fit in to the mostly-human/elf/dwarf civilizations of most D&D worlds.
Is often struggling against their own nature, or what the player thinks is their race's nature.
Is usually unnecessarily morbid or mopey, especially due to their own destiny. They never lighten up.
What are /tg/'s sacred cows?
>>47900561
Nothing is sacred.
>>47900561
Generally, people here get mad when you shit on Tolkien. I feel that's the one thing most people leave alone. Bring up basically anything else, and it's guaranteed you'll get some people talking about how much they hate it.

One anon posted this as the current status of the fluff. Are we all good with it?
Our current lord is Camryn Malbrand. He was studying to be a maester when his father and elder brother died at war (we haven't decided which), and he had to return to the family hall in the westlands. He soon married (first name undecided) Banefort, and sired twins, boy and girl.
While his father had no liking for the old tales of dark magic and duplicity that shrouded the family history the same is not so for Camryn. He was stepping proudly into the fringes of acceptable practice at the citadel, and is intent on reclaiming the guile of his ancestors, if not their relics and rumored powers.
We still need agreement on words, banner, and probably a shit ton of other stuff. Characters spring to mind.
Also, what have we got for our Maester? Our lord used to be one, so is this some buddy from the citadel who he brought with him after he left?
Isn't there already a canon house with that name?
>>47900482
There's house Marbrand. An anon proposed the name, and everyone liked it, ran with it, and fluffed it a bit, but then someone pointed out that it was a canon house. It was too late by that point, so we decided that since the dice said that our house went all the way back to the Age of Heroes, House Marbrand is a cadet branch of house Malbrand, who vastly outperformed them, and thrived while Malbrand declined.
At least, I think that's what we decided.

You have 10 seconds to come up with a single good reason for this card being blue.
You can't. It should be colorless.

It should be white.
"So, pick one."
Kayda stands up from the ocean, stretching her arms.
"Do you want to carry our clothes, or do you want to carry Keiko?"
You look toward your feet, in the receding surf of the ocean.
There's a girl still laying in the wake. The tide gently pulls her out to sea, and it still isn't enough to rouse her from sleep.
"..You can get Keiko, I'll carry the clothes."
You are Louise Lacerte! The beautiful princess hero of Gallete!
Today, you decided to gather your best friend and visit...

I knew /tg/ was terrible at magic but I never realized it had gotten this bad.
I know this is gonna make me sound like one of those faggots who come out of the woodworks to justify shit Wizards does, but did we really need another card on par with old Emrakul?
I mean it's already the nuclear bomb of creatures. It hits the board and you win most of the time. Did we really need another on that level?

Here's an extremely long pic-related wall of text to explain what amounts to "magic is interesting and exciting!"
Admittedly, it was for a 3.5 game that fell apart, but I'm probably going to use the same general character concept for a 5e game soon.
