What is the motherfucking difference between Halflings and Gnomes, functionally? I kind of get that Gnomes have some innate magical abilities which Halflings don't, but are Halflings just lucky thieves and good coocks?
I'm currently working on a setting that, originally, I wanted to be a standard D&D setting with the standard races, caught in the middle of or just after a huge war. Sort of like Eberron, only racial rather than between humans, more like LoTR. But the thought of...

Is it possible for a bullroarer to be made of something other than wood? In particular, could one be made of iron?

I played my first d&d game recently and loved it, however it ended abruptly after a month or so. I'm still somewhat of a newbie but I'm eager to learn. I prefer games with more RP and not just combat.

The Mutant Epoch
Im trying to get a group together for a game of TME. Obviously the hard part is finding a GM so im willing to provide the rulebooks and help learn the system.
The exact time and dates can be discussed once the GM is on board.
If anyone wants a link to the books let me know.
Keep being excellent /tg/!
A small security camera watches an office. People in business suits rush from office to office with papers and data pads in hand as others work over videos and photos on computer terminals. View screens cover the walls, showing news coverage of hundreds of different channels and agencies across Union space, and almost instantly they cut to static. The workers stop, like drones cut off from their queen, looking at the wall of static as an emergency sign appears with a loud monotone beep apologizing for technical difficulties. The people look around, confused, as their own devices...

August 13 1961, West Berlin.
Alfons Adlersflügel arrives at his home after a particularly stressful patrol around the city.
He struggles with inserting his key into the door as his arms are still shaking.
After failing at this basic task several times and making quite a noise in the process he hears someone opening the door from the other side.
Eryka, his wife, looks at him through the open door with wide eyes.
"Oh my God...
Dear?
What's wrong?"
She asks after witnessing her husbands expression for herself.

She looks up at him and her eyes betray her despair.

I have no idea WHAT that thing was.

Meanwhile in Hueco Mundo:
You sneeze loudly as you lead Pesci and Alex to the dining area where the others have already gathered.
"You okay Boss?"
You scratch your nose as you respond to him.
"Yeah...
Someone must be talking about me."
Alex rushes ahead of you.
"Come on already!
They already started without us!"
When you get there you find out that she was right.
They are sitting in a circle around the table with a tankard in front of each of them and what appears to be a bottle in the middle.
Apacci chugs the content of her tankard and then exclaims her joy.
"Man this is the life right here!
Food, actual houses and booze!
This is great!"
Alex quickly rushes to the Tres and clings onto Apaccis neck.
"You guys changed too!"
She squeals as she is basically choking the life out of her unfortunate victim.
Mila Rose stands up and greets you.
"It's good you came, we didn't want to start without you."
You blink in surprise.
"Start what exactly?"
Yata looks at you with eyes devoid of hope.
"An asinine party game.
Remind me again, why did you bring these imbeciles here?"
Mila Rose sits next to him with a malicious grin as she puts him into a headlock.
"Come on, it'll be fun!"
>Join in.
>Just observe.
>Other? (rite-in)
>>48289473
>Join in
I mean, if Yata REALLY didn't want to join, he could leave at any time with ease. He just has to threaten to ruin the party with some kind of horrific disease.
I think he secretly enjoys it.

It was all the rage with the kids for a few years here where I grew up.
>>48279572
The way they did both resources and life points was awesome. You can't get mana screwed, but you have to make important choices about which cards you use for mana (or whatever the game had), and I really liked the idea that as you beat the shit out of someone they get cards in their hand to stop you, so that you have to win decisively.
Stage 125: The things that must be done....
You are finally home.
It's taken a while but you feel confident that your home, the penthouse of an apartment building overseen by something older and freakier than any youkai of the Age of Legends would be, is fairly safe and secure. Between your sister, an eminent fortuneteller and seer, your personal seer Er Yin-sensei, and the ancient being that owns the apartment complex, the place has been warded and purified to the point of sterility, if it weren't for the plants, artwork, and other feng shui your sister...

The other members of you close knit and rather strange little clan are equally happy to be home, reunited and safe alike with their own loved ones. While the Edict delivered in the name of the Jade Emperor must take precedence over all, at the moment you've done all you can, even to the point of sending a missive to the Mill Pond Demon, a kappa who could potentially help you to heal Er Yin's spiritual and physical damage. The edict might not forbid you from doing anything else, but at the moment your content...

Quality thread OP,
Tell me /tg/, what weapons should a Dwarf wield?
>>48264276
Axe or Hammer
I'm a fan of big, fuck-off warhammers for dwarves. Maybe a small axe for backup.
>>48264276
Whatever fucking weapon he prefers out of the ones available to him.
Players love shit they think will make them overpowered. What useless items have you given your pc's? My favorite were bracers that switched places with a command word.
>>48256869
Classic Club of Healing. Hittings someone causes 1d4 damage, but heals him for 1d6. Still hurts of course.
Also bagpipe of invisibility. Makes you invisible, but only as long as you play it as loudly as you can.
>>48256885
>Classic Club of Healing. Hittings someone causes 1d4 damage, but heals him for 1d6. Still hurts of course.
You mean club of undead slaying.

None of us is a wizard.

It doesn't. The system provides the framework by which the players and their GM resolve to accomplish it themselves.
There will literally never be a perfect system of rules, not in games, not in anything. There will always be complication, imbalance, confusion, ambiguity and dissatisfaction without the interference of active minds seeking a common goal.
>>48281076
>reflecting magic's power in their favorite stories
Which stories?
Lots of stories have plot magics, that take a dozen guys an hour (plus a few days of prep) to pull off, and that sort of thing, but all of the really flashy stuff I can think of wasn't the sort of thing you could do in a typical RPG battle.
The people in the Harry Potter universe, for example, can apparate (though iirc that needs some kind of pre-built magical network active to work), they can...

It can be done, but it's difficult if you want magic really powerful and martial characters to not be supernatural in any way, shape or form.
You watch the swamps through the keen eyes of gargoyles, the small Reconstructed perched and hidden in the dark trees that bled a white sap. The rains continued leaving everything it touched with an oily sheen and touch. A tall tripodal creature stalked through the brackish water underneath a gargoyle, spearing a wriggling organism their with harpoon like tongue that disappears into a blunt beak. It continued on its way only to run afoul of a juvenile of the same creature you faced the day before leaps out of the water snapping its beak at its legs.
The gargoyle watched...

Gargoyles sail high in the air despite the constant rain, eyes watching the distance and the floating craft. The cruiser hovers above where the wreckage of the train would be, specks of light moving from to and from the craft to the ground, possibly the engines of vehicles searching the scene.
Another rumbling blast reverberates through the air, shaking the trees once more, as the floating city comes to a stop over the glow of the earthbound town. A beam of light connects the two like an anchor. The hole in...

You and every Reconstructed and even the ship itself seems to tense as the beams pass over the frigates hull, the sputtering of their engines echoing out. Then the beams pass uneventfully. If you breathed you would've let it out in relief as you relax but the sense of safety is short lived.
The gunship sized craft, it's prow shaped like a heavily mutated human face with a weapons barrel extending from it's screaming maw, spins suddenly around with a burst of its engines. Its searchlight,...

Why does every girl I have ever played dnd with always make a half elf ranger as her first character? There are also some recurring features: red hair; a raven pet; some kind of poetic name; a huge scar on the face that however doesn't tarnish her femininity; being the product of a beautiful and chaste elf being raped by an otherwise noble man in a moment of madness; the constant need of having a romance story with another player's character while remaining absolutely pure and many more that I can't recall right now. I personally know at least five girls that...

It's the same reason why there are so many dudes who can't resist the urge to be huge faggots and play the mysterious loner who's just in this for his personal gain, and wears a large cloak.
