Why do people who argue caster supremacy not realize that every class casts spells now? There is no war left to fight, there are no martials left.

So I want to try running a game focused on exploration and survival. Have a big map for the players to explore, chart out, and encounter enemies.

How feasible is this to do in 5e?
>>
>>47741500
Just because there are caster archetypes doesn't mean everyone is picking one, or even that they're the best pick
>>
>>47741701
Super Easy. Hordes of the Underdark is basically this.

Okay /tg/, in all manner of settings you've encountered and know what are the fantasy races YOU, YOU as a person most identify with.
You look at them and think "Hey, if I were there, I'd probably be one of those too, i'm all about THAT."

Maybe it's culture, maybe it's appearance, or just general comfort.

What fantasy race would YOU be?

My friend just bought this game. Is it good or should I laugh at him for wasting his money? From what I can tell it's just advanced RPS

You should just be honest when you want to make threads about games you like.

It's very good, fantastic even. It's rock paper scissors in the same way Chess is rock paper scissors.

They're both non-random, and unlike RPS you have information that narrows down your opponents possible moves.

Well I've only played 2 games with him. I guess we only played with novice level characters so far so it just seems kinda whatever. Hopefully the more intermediate characters have more depth.
>>
>>47736215
It's not about the characters, it's about you.

You have to think about the several dozeb different moves available, what's not available, balance out the probability of that person using that move, then choose to be unpredictable or to play the most optimal move.

That's without the shitton of optional rules like force gauge.

What steps should one take when worldbuilding?

>>47735710

Step one: Google worldbuilding
>>
>>47735710

Do as little as possible. Your players will generally either ignore it or outright WRECK IT, and you'll feel pretty bad about all that hard work going down the toilet.
Worse, too much worldbuilding means you can't roll with the punches and insert stuff on the fly, because there's no room to cram it in.

Generally if you have to stop the game all the time and look shit up in your documents because you can't keep all that stuff you made up straight, that's the point at which you've probably built too much. Looking things up once in a while is fine, but start doing it regularly and you're slowing the game down to lecture your players about the intricate details of your setting and they're gonna start yawning.

Start with a broad outline of important history, then fill in the smaller details from there until you've got a rough outline of a world that pushes the buttons you want, and then run with it.

Depends on what those methods are, how you use them, and when.

But you're still probably a pretty big douche.

Not if the villain's methods are candy, cute kittens and long strolls in the moonlight.

It's been literally a year. Check the archives. LITERALLY A YEAR. I am so sorry.

- - - -

You watch the diminutive Wiesel armoured weapons carrier crest the lip of the crater, kicking up a wave of dust that makes your Geiger counter click agitatedly. Your Leopard 1 follows after it, climbing the dusty, glassed wall of earth. You find yourself once again above ground in the Brandenburg Wastelands.

Your name is Robert Bradley, and you are a Tank Hunter, a Bounty Hunter-cum-Mercenary roaming the nuclear wastelands of Europe. You're on a job right now, a rescue mission of two kidnapped, diminutive Wiesel drivers by the name of Bernie and Nancy, taken by bandits to Magdeburg, deep in the wastelands. You, and your crew, along with a convoy of another tank and a pair of supply vehicles, have embarked from Fulda, and you are now traversing the ruins of Leipzig. You just drove across ground zero, the Kursdorf crater, an airport which took a direct from a 100MT bomb over a century ago.

You finally clear yourself of the Leipzig city limits, and back in the open wasteland. The scorched remains of the old highway stretch out before you. It's now a straight line over the open wastes to Magdeburg, but a clear area for you to be ambushed, especially by the bandit outpost in Halle. You'll need to proceed carefully.

By making them an honest rebel against the government.
Think Mad Stan from Batman Beyond, in a game that's about destroying the corrupt government and reducing corporate control over people, he's a CN done right. He just wants freedom for himself and everyone, even if that means anarchy and blowing up a few buildings.

He came off as a raving lunatic, but most people who are really passionate about their cause do.

The amount of time you have to invest is unsuitable or undesirable for modern society
>>
>>47739136
This. RPGs inherently require long-term investment from at least one participant (And ideally all of them). You have to plan out weeks ahead for times to get together and have to plan at least some amount of game content as well.
Whereas board games, card games and similar rarely carry over from session to session.

I had an idea for a character backstory.

A village of monster girls (harpies and lamias mainly) find a ship wrecked on the coast of their island, and recover a single survivor, a young girl. The girl gets adopted by a family and brought up as a daughter but as she gets older she starts to feel like she doesn't fit in, so eventually when she comes of age she sets off on a quest to become a monster girl, even though her family love her enough as-is.

What sort of methods are there to become a monster girl, though? If it's easy she would have done it already.

>>47720942
Well, if it's the Monstergirl Encyclopedia universe, she just needs to make out with a monstergirl to get infected with her Mamono mana so that she becomes a Demi-Succubus, and then have sex with a human man, completing her transformation.

Doing so would most likely cause her to regard the man who deflowered her as her husband, which is an unbreakable bond between man and monstergirl, so she needs to pick her man wisely!
>>
If it's a D&D universe, go and find a wizard, preferably of sufficient power to make the polymorph happen and be good and permanent.

And if you plan on doing this shit with other players, keep your magical realm in your pants, K?
>>
>>47720942
Just don't, for the sake of everyone involved.
Monster girls are always part of a fetish. This is accepted wisdom.
If it weren't fetishy, it would be monster people.
If you were perfectly aware of this, and there's no reason you shouldn't, you should be honest enough to ask "How do I be That Guy?" in the OP.

Why isn't Eldrazi Tron a more popular Modern deck? You have insane searching potential with Ancient Stirrings, Sylvan Scrying and Expedition Map, literally a guaranteed Tron turn 3 everytime. I don't know what's meta right now but an early Ulamog/Ugin/Karn should wreck most decks.
