I guess we stage crimes and then solve the crimes so that way we still have a job as heroes...

What is /tg/ oppinion on nationstates?
>>47810986
Played it back in high school. Haven't touched it much since but I remember it was kind of fun. I liked the tongue-in-cheek humor it applied to otherwise serious situations. Shit like advisers going on about hunting the national animal or members of the press popping their heads out of air vents so they could weasel a zinger out of you.
Of course, it was about as accurate of actual geopolitics as your average Civ game.
I remember the community wasn't really my scene though. Mostly just...

It's not fun.

Can someone explain this to me?
>>47810326
They're about manipulating objects, which hands are better at.
Soccer is just for hipster faggots.
>>47810326
Anti-feet prejudice is the only explanation.

What can I do with the leftover imperial knight bitz I have after building an imperial knight crusader?
>>47810130
Build a second knight constructed entirely from weapons.
>>47810130
Grind up the weapons and snort them.
Post results.

you didnt magnetise the bits so you could mix and match any knight titan you wanted?
/tg/ I'm in a bit of a dilemma. Me and some buds got together to plan our 5E campaign and get our characters ready. We finished preparing our characters much earlier than expected so our DM wanted to run a practice session for the 2 people who were new to D&D. One of our players, who's familiar with 5E and tabletop in general, had a huge shit-flinging contest with the DM while we were having the practice session, and somehow it ended up the DM voting that I run it while he revises and further prepares his campaign.
I had no problem with it since I figured it was just practice, and I've never actually DM'd before. Somehow I've managed to keep them captivated for the majority of the session with a story that I was pulling out of my ass. After the session, it came to an agreement among the players, original DM included, that I should be the current DM and keep this going as intended campaign.
Should I cut this short because I have absolutely nothing prepared and the orginal DM is pretty much dumping his responsibilities onto me, or should I keep this going because everyone is having fun?
>>47809481
If they're having fun, you're doing something right. Keep going, I say. Even if you're just improvising, if your players are having a good time, then there's no reason to stop.
If the load on you is too much then definitely reconsider, but pulling things out of your ass constantly is not at all a bad GM style, at least depending on the kinda game you want.
>>47809481
Just grab a published adventure and run it. The Starter Set adventure, Lost Mine of Phandelver, is quite good, as is the newer Curse of Strahd.
>>47809664
I wouldn't mind veering this campaign towards Barovia. Is it possible to work of a module after the first session?
So, on televised depictions of RPG (i.e., D&D), and here I am thinking principally of Big Bang Theory and Community, the procedure used is the GM rolling a d20 to determine outcomes of player choices. (I think Spencer Crittenden did this on Harmontown, which may account for the Community depiction.)
I've never played that way. At our tables the players each roll most skill attempts, and always all personal combat rolls. Do others do this most, or is the GM rolling method (depicted) most common?
Did I miss a clear suggestion in the PH or DMG?
I've never heard of a real group where the GM rolls everything.
>>47809336
Depends on the system. And whether or not someone has crazy hands and always throws the dice under the table.

>televised depictions of RPG (i.e., D&D)
It's the writers being misconceived or deliberatly not caring, writing in something that would make for an easier joke.
