To talk about Space ships games, rpg or fluff, and to post cool picturs too.
How powerful do you like your ships?
>>48229666
I prefer a more low level stuff, space truckers equivalents, lots of fighters and other small tonnage crafts, perhaps some corvettes and frigates or even destroyers and cruisers in the HW vein as big baddies to spice it up, and in the fringe of civilization with not many but colorful aliens.
>>48229809
Industrial looking ships and all that, low level and no anti-grav. Some space magic tough, like wormholes and all that.

If you have any more infinite space pics, please post them.
Is edgy bad?
good enough for a poke
Depends on how bland and over-the-top it is.
Granted, if you take it over the top in the right manner, it's funny as hell and becomes good again, or if you satirize it a bit.
Black Trenchcoats and Katanas, Vampire Half-Demon Samurai guy on a quest to avenge his Succubus wife who was raped and murdered infront of him by Catholic Robot Cyborgs. That kind of shit.

Is try hard bad?
Just about any action that is lacking self reflection is bad.
So yes, edgy is often bad because the people who are doing it are unaware how it makes them look like a spoiled teenager.

ITT: The most cringe inducing shit you've ever seen in game
I was the manager at an LGS and was the head DM for 5e Adventure League. Some of you may think, "aw shit, you got paid to play D&D, sweet!"
Not Sweet.
I had to accept anyone into the game as long as they hadn't committed a violation bad enough to get their DCI revoked.
Group is filled with sperg lords that can't get anyone else to play with them.
One of the kids got an internet girlfriend and brought his phone to a game with her on skype and asked if she could "roleplay...

It has its shortcomings and I prefer maptools in a lot of ways but god damn if it isn't the most convenient way to play games online. Easy to use, can upload your own images. The issues I have with it are pretty minor and it's great for established games like D&D, SR, etc. because there...

Thinking about collecting MTG cards and maybe learning how to play...
What am I in for?
If you play with freinds fun and shit talking
>>48275738
Enjoy new cards that cost 80$ a card.
Collecting Pokemon cards would be cheaper if you're really into collecting
>What am I in for?
- spending a shitload of money
- having your deck become outdated in less than six months
Don't do this to yourself, anon. There are many games with good art and mechanics that won't cost you a thousandth of the money MTG costs.
I was talking with some weeaboo friends and we started to wonder if there was some final fantasy themed tabletop RPG. My first suggestion was to play some other fantastic TRPG and fluff it as a final fantasy world, but then curiosity picked me
Apparently, there is is this Final Fantasy RPG 3rd edition. After looking at the PDF on just a first view it seems to be crunchy and has a very video-gamey feeling, which is quite appropriate, since is most likely what the fans of the series are expecting.
I was wondering if anyone has ever given it a try or if there are any other RPGs with a final fantasy theme
>>48274304
That game is garbage.
It's a very faithful adaptation of FF games to the tabletop, but that is exactly what makes it entirely useless as a tabletop RPG.
Super Console was inspired by early RPG titles and features a rather ingenious solution to the ridiculous number bloat you would find in the source material.
Anima (not Beyond Fantasy, the other one) was primarly inspired by VII and VIII, but eschews video game-like mechanics for a more narratively inclined system.
Anima: Beyond Fantasy might work, too. Horribly front-loaded and badly translated, but apparently there are enough people playing it.
Retro Phaze also keeps getting mentioned as taking inspiration from 8-bit RPGs, but I haven't read it yet.
>>48274304
A much, much better Final Fantasy inspired game.

as a fan of the series, that is precisely what I'm looking for in a FF RPG tho

I'm not just looking for suggestions but also pdf files. Do you happen to have a PDF of the Chirurgeon playbook?

Find a better DM, preferably one who's not mentally 16.
The spell caster that wears armor expects to be hit. If you're hiring a spell caster, and they aren't wearing protective armor, they're either confident or stupid. From a meta perspective, why wouldn't you wear protective gear? From a certain point of view, the guy wearing heavy armor and a mace expects to get hit, and wears it to protect himself. Is the spell caster expecting to get in close quarters combat? Can she hit someone with that walking stick she carries? Or should she be frying the enemies from a distance?

Basilisk dummy.

There is no point in phenotyping dragons by number of limbs, because there are so many phenotypes of dragons that you may as well call them all dragons.

Have you guys ever did an adventure roleplay with no mechanics whatsoever?
As in, no dice rolls, no stats, nothing,
just descriptions and Dm's judgement?
Is there a name for that kind of roleplay style?
pic unrelated
I did some acting in college and high school. With "Just Descriptions and GM's Judgement" it's very close to having a director and doing stage improv.
>>48273237
It's called freeforming.
Could be fun with mature players who have similar tastes, but I find that at least a little guidance from mechanics helps.
>>48273248
Yeah, it kinda works that way, Dm describes the immediate area and objects of interest,
while the character interacts with the world
now, its a sensitive system as ive experienced, as there's nothing concrete to the
extent of the character's ability and skill so, if the DM deems an action a faliure and the
player thinks it should have worked there could be an argument fast

True, the system works best with players that...

In a world, where elves, humans and dwarfs share the same evolutionary ancestor, what would be a legit reason for said ancestor to evolve into a cave/mountain dwelling midget with high intelligence and that still looks a bit like pic related?
Magical reasons like Gods fucking around with evolution are permitted, though i'd try to avoid that since i already did it to elves in my setting.
caves are short i guess?
>>48272764
Neanderthals were shorter than Homo Sapiens, yet they were said to possess significantly greater strength. People in frequently cold environments tend to be shorter on average, whereas people in hotter environments tend to be taller than average. Dwarves are usually depicted as having pale skin, which also ties in with spending little to no time in the sun, suited for being underground and in places where the sun does not appear very often.
So I guess just make them a clan of mountain dwelling Neanderthals....

Except for Neaderthals probably being less intelligent than us, basically this. If for some reason, a tool-using group was pushed into living primarily in caves, something dwarf-like seems a plausible outcome of selection for best diggers. They'd be small (reducing the amount of work needed to excavate a good cave or tunnel), strong, and have either good night vision or else some other way of 'seeing' in the dark.
I have a feeling, /tg/. Feeling of suspicion.
The amount of people calling everything "edgy", "Mary Sue" or simmilar pejorative terms passed all the bounds long ago. While those are useful terms when used sparingly in cases of characters/things that are actually lowering quality of anything they are part of because of certain traits, BUT everyone and their mother now is theowing them at anything that bears just any resemblance to those traits, even if it (at example) acually creates a cool, likeable character that fits the story?

Ahh.. Nope.

I can't decide if that counts as paranoia or having way too much free time to overthink something someone said on fucking 4chan of all places.
Probably the latter: paranoia is about shit that actually matters.

Shut up Taufag, you know you want this sweet guitar. You're just sucking the emperor's cock because the iron lung is effectively the ultimate powersuit. Gundam fighting go force team!
Nice Imperium you got there.
It's be a real shame if something happened to it.
If this fucker was smothered in the cradle, would the Horusy be averted entirely?
You'd be excused for thinking him to be the true villain of the series

The Emperor, when reuniting with some of his children, purposely fucked them over because he was an impatient bastard. There would have been upheaval eventually, but it happened at exactly the wrong time as Magnus tripped over his own feet and fucked everything up beyond repair completely by accident.
