>It's the demogorgon!
How mad are you right now?
Also, general GM bullshit thread.
>>48331618
At first, I hated Demogorgon.
Then, I felt bad about that, because Orcus seemed okay, and those two have been around the longest.
Then, I realized that Orcus is the goddamned Sam Haight of DnD, so it's actually okay to hate Demogorgon too.
>>48331618
I'm not mad at all, because I cast motherfucking fireball.
>>48331618
Not just "demogorgon", he's THE Demogorgon.
Hey /tg/ I'm planning on running a campaign with just 2 people. Does anyone know any good systems that work with just a GM and one player?
>>48331063
Just toss the game aside and fuck. It's much more fun and much easier logistically.

Failing that, shitty wizard thread
To date, I have never been able to run an evil campaign without it degenerating into everyone acting like That Guy. Everything turns into a "murder and rape everybody just because you can" game. The one and only time I've been able to run an "evil" game that didn't turn into that was an organized crime mafia-style campaign where, in spite of everyone being a criminal, they were STRICTLY held to a set of rules.
So how can a successful evil campaign ever be run? Does it start with finding the right players first?
>To this day I never....
>Except when I did.
Lol
But in my experience all my evil campaigns boil down to nobody being really sure how to play evil and being chaotic neutral instead.
>To date, I have never been able to run a That Guy campaign without it degenerating into everyone acting like That Guy.
Why would you expect any different?
>>48330849
Playing an Evil campaign = mindset of "We Have To Try To Be Evil!" = That Guy derpfest because they only understand Evil alignment in terms of silly cliches.
Honestly it's better to frame it in terms of background details.

What are the most /tg/ books out there?
Like rec-reading for the whole /tg/ ethos. I don't mean like "The Hobbit" I mean "/tg/ will stick his dick in anything" type of adventures.
I refuse to accept your interpretation of /tg/.
Don't judge us by the worst of us.
For grimdark, Junger's "Storm of Steel" or Sajer's "Forgotten Soldier" are right up there

I let my friend borrow my phone and I left vore pictures open on it.
End my fucking life...

I was half drunk and looking at funny pictures during my 5e game (my guy was unconscious and everyone was looting the balor horde and left me there smoldering slightly). They asked me what was so funny so I linked them the /k/ thread about tge guy who got a Remington shotgun barrel stuck in his ass.
I can't hide my incredibly different sense of humor anymore.

regarding 'favorite 5e monster' I think I might need to wait until Volo's Guide to Monsters comes out.Also I might need to read the MM.
Mimics will always be my favorite monster to use. I can't really use them as chests anymore since players will just see it coming a mile away now
This is How I GM

So I've been fucking around with Mekton Zeta since falling down the plastic hellhole that is gunpla building and I'm wondering what you guys think is a good CP range for a Military style of gaming?
Also mecha-games thread I guess.
I'm also gonna just post Zakus for a bit so maybe someone will see this thread.
A pathfinder character has just imbided a potion that causes them to be possesed by a bunch of demons whose job it is to drive him insane. Give me things those demons say.

>A splinter, also known as a sliver in some parts of Canada, is a fragment of a larger object (especially wood), or a foreign body that penetrates or is purposely injected into a body.
Cursed splinters? Magical splinters? Critical failure splinters? Wooden armor splinters?

>Cursed splinters?
sure, why not
you could have a splinter from the wood of a cursed house or temple and a little bit of the curse goes with you until you get it out
freak your players out, be like "roll to remove the splinter" and if they fail it stays with them

Only one 5e class will have an archetype that enables them to wield an over-sized weapon.
Which class should it be?
>>48328744
Wizard, obviously.
>>48328744
>>48328772
The Dwarf-only Arcane Battle-Smasher archetype. They wield an over-sized waraxe or -hammer primarily, but they can use just about any simple or dwarven weapon of an overly sized proportion.
They specialize in medium armor and can trade spellslots for "counterspell", which is a concentration check with an attackroll that does force damage equivalent to Smite except with d4s

Do any other anons just worldbuild for the sake of it? I'm not interesting in gaming or even really writing fiction for that matter. I'm guess I'm just interested in how the community here differs.

I used to, many years ago. But over time it got more and more depressing to see these places lying idle and unused, never to be explored by real people. I got so sick of seeing my ideas folders and being reminded of that that I hid them in cupboard. Then every time I got something from that cupboard I'd remember the folders and feels bad. In the end I burned them all in my back garden.
>>48328626
Yes.
We have all types here.
There is a world building general thread up usually.

I gave up on worldbuilding years ago, much like I gave up on life.

I haven't played any edition of D&D since 2E. Although 3E was available to me when it was first released, I snubbed it upon learning that characters could freely take levels in any number of classes they wanted with virtually no restrictions.
I had long since aged out of the gaming scene by the time 4E was released, so I really know nothing about its system. Likewise for 5E. Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the differences in these editions? I briefly researched them, but the only articles I came across didn't get into any specifics beyond "characters...

In 4e, there are four basic roles: Leader, Defender, Striker, and Controller. Each class falls under one of these roles, though the specifics of how they do so are unique. Leaders heal and improve allies' capabilities (and tend to be the party face), Defenders draw fire and tangle up enemy forces (and are more durable, so they can survive traps and falls and such better), Strikers deal the most damage and have the best mobility (and typically have exploration-based skillsets), Controllers apply disabling effects...

holy shit
>>48328596
D&D 5e is the latest edition, and don't worry, it doesn't use THAC0. It uses the same basic "roll a d20, add relevant modifiers, compare to target number" mechanic that 3e and 4e used, and the six basic stats are all still there. There are a few big changes that are worth noting, since you've been away for so long.
To elaborate on how multiclassing works in 3e and 5e (I can't speak for 4e since I haven't played it), instead of having parallel classes with their own experience...

Yeah, or games like Chapter Master or Dominions, things like that.
So I've been following an odd quest over at the new (and half-vacant) /qst/ board and the setting, based on the god-awful Left Behind series of all things, is absolutely fascinating.
Basically, God is a really unimaginative That GM intent on making everything go exactly as planned in his notes starting with His victory over the Antichrist and New World Order. The Earths landmasses have been flattened into an endless fertile plain so that the sole mountain in Israel may rise above all nations, eternal sunlight has beamed down on the earth from a shell of water encircling...
