I saw some weird ass furry booth last year. Freaked me the hell out.
I'm hoping to go, but I got to see how my funds are looking.
If I do go in hoping to get the McCabe nightmare crew for Malifaux and Shadowrun Anarchy.
I also want to do some events since last time I only did a The Spoils starter deck mini tournament.
>>48279433
It seems like every year I try and do more events, then bow out right beforehand.
I try to keep my event list to one per day, then spend the rest of the day roaming the dealer hall and just doing things downtown.
So which tabletop game is your favorite /tg/?

Why can't you both comprise and try to have fun in a way that isn't boring or Oppressive to the other? I'm sure you can both find SOMETHING. Right?
How to make this work?
>>48275215
The way they worded that is fucking retarded
it should probably say "whenever you lose life, gain that much life instead" and it'd be a lot less confusing.
You'll probably want a way to bounce it so you don't lose when you hit 20 so you can go back down to almost 0. You could also donate it to a lifegain deck and win instantly.
Are they any good Age of Sail RPGs for someone in a Master & Commander/Aubery & Maturin or Sid Meier's Pirates! kind of mood?
I know 7th Sea exists, but I've heard it features remarkably little seafaring. What other games are out there, if any?

I'm not gonna say Sci-Fi kills the Age of Sail vibe, but it certainly stifles it.
Anyone else in /tg/ see Zero Charisma? What did you think of it?
If you haven't seen it, it's an indie movie about a stereotypical geek GM named Scott (metalhead, paints miniatures, etc.) and what happens when he loses a player for his campaign, and a hipster geek joins and starts to take over the game.
Personally I thought it was a mixed bag. It's a dark comedy that had some funny moments but eventually it got a bit too dark. Towards the end of the movie the plot went off the rails a bit, I felt it could have been handled better although I'm...

I thought it was boring and painted gamers as stereotypical slacker/losers. I've been gaming for 25 years now. I have certainly met sad sacks but all of my gaming buddies are normal dudes with educations, jobs, wives and kids. If anything I'd argue your average rpger is more inclined toward STEM career paths which pay well.
>>48265100
Yeah it was pretty bad about stereotyping, though like you said there are some people out there that fit them. The movie was clearly created by gamers but it didn't seem to have much interest in portraying normal gamers.
I thought this was one of the better scenes:

One bump to see if anyone else has seen this
What have been your most memorable cursed, intelligent, and/or magic items?
For example, In my current campaign we have a Witch hunter themed Inquisitor who has an intelligent cursed longsword that has an extreme hatred towards arcane casters but imposes negative levels and silence to any arcane caster that wields it.
How about you guys, /tg/? Anything flavorful, interesting, or just plain dumb?
>>48264830
We once had an intelligent Helmet of Blindsense, who would tell you where to go, often into walls or other objets. We later found out it was originally a poorly-sighted wizard who accidentally misread his spell and sealed his soul into the helmet. It was a blast to use...
The wizard's name was Fred, and he talked like the character of the same name from Courage, the Cowardly Dog. I was the character who wore fullplate and wore Fred on my head. It looked like a Full-Faced Gladiator's Helm with no eye holes.
>/tg/ uses anything that's not already spoon fed to them in the books
I'm a big fan of putting sapient, malevolent demons in swords. Aware of their surroundings, and actively shit-talking whoever is wielding their prison.
We all know the Alignment system is absolute shit.
But would removing the (wholly subjective) Good/Evil axis, leaving behind only Law/Chaos, be better?
>>48284474
Yes. That is how it originally was and how it should be.
If you're going to use alignment at all, that is.
>>48284474
No. The only concept /tg/ is more autistic about than Good/Evil is Law/Chaos.
More problems come from trying to reinvent or "improve" alignments than are ever solved. The best solution is accepting them as they stand and if you can't do that choosing a system which doesn't use them as mechanics.
Alignments should never have been added to the game.
The entire reason they exist is so that there is an in-universe explanation for why good can counter evil and why law can counter chaos.
