Over the past three gaming sessions I have went melee heavy paladin with 'For Justice!' 'Smite the unclean!' and other such battlecries being my main mode of play.
It has been such a fucking blast. Greatweapon mastery and Greatweapon fighting has me doing stupid amounts of damage early on.
The DM lays some spooky atmosphere and a mold mound animates? Justice fears no mound! >Great hammer it to oblivion

I am running a sci-fi tabletop and I needed a name for a merchant/broker style of ship. One name I thought of was Honor of Traders but I am not so sure of that. I want a name in the same style but I am trying to go for a gallows humor type of name. The name generators I've found don't really have what I am looking for. Pic is supposed to be what the ship sort of looks like.
Your name is Victory. Well, not your real name, but the codename assigned to you by the Bureau of Special Research and Actions. The primary governing body for American ‘magical girl’ operations. They’ve dropped you off in Italy, Bureau agents leaving you at a cafe in Rome to await additional mission details from a spy returning from deep within Nazi territory.
Said mission was relatively simple. A defector of critical importance was looking to escape the clutches of the regime, and you were to provide them with the means to do so. The Bureau has remained extraordinarily tight lipped regarding the exact nature of the defector. All you know is that they’re valuable to the Allied war effort. Failure here would be a very, very bad thing, that much is certain.
You take another sip of your fancy coffee and enjoy the cool night air as you wait for this contact to show his face. Maybe he won’t. Maybe he’s getting tortured by the Hexenkraft or the SS as you sit here. You shake those thoughts from your mind. It was never a good idea to start a mission pessimistically.
Soon after you drain your cup of it’s contents, a blonde haired man sits at your table wordlessly. His eyes quickly dart behind him, before settling back onto you. His leather jacket is bulging, obviously hiding something. If this man is supposed to a spy then he definitely doesn’t look the part. He clears his throat nosily,
“Excuse me fraulein, you are Victoria Jones, correct? I believe I have something for you, a book from a family friend”
>>48265034 The blonde haired man has somewhat of an accent, maybe he picked it up after spending so much time around the Krauts? He glances over his shoulder again, scanning the surroundings for something, or someone. After he’s seemingly satisfied he turns to you, giving you an uneasy smile.

"You're unpracticed at this. Stop looking around so anxiously I and other agents already scoped the area out, you're only drawing attention to yourself."
I ran it for some random people I vaguely knew on the internet a few years ago and now we have a pretty stable couple of DnD games going. MAID created the bond that persists today, ever since beating Godzilla at yu-gi-oh.
>>48264091 >Is MAID rpg fun? Yes, if your players are ready to perform shenanigans. It's a rules-light slapstick comedy game, you have to be able to run that kind of game and the players have to be able to run with it too. >How do games normally go with it?

>>48264127 >>48264234 Sounds good. Probably going to pick it up then. I was a bit worried that it would be too weird for some of my group. We all watch anime and whatnot, but the power levels range from one guy who only watches berserk/jojo/etc to the guy who collects figurines and tried to learn Japanese.
Four figures silently walk away from the embassy. Behind them, a very angry-looking catgirl crosses her arms with a frown.
No one pays any mind to the slowly retreating group. Everyone is more interested in the catgirl as she angrily shouts orders. Most of them to her knights, and her guard.
The mood among that group is more somber, than anything else. Maybe it's because one of them is very clearly teeming with anger.
"Lass." One of them mumbles, "Are ye gonna calm down or are ye gonna go off and murder somethin'?" "We'll... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

I know that sorcerers get their power from themselves, and that most other get their magic from a patron that can be a god, demon or nature itself. Also not sure where wizards get their powers from.
They are not characters. The players do not talk with them. They do not explain things. They do not consider mortal viewpoints. They do not sit down and have a chat.
They are forces of nature. They do, and the world shapes itself around them. It cannot but. They operate on a level completely divorced from what the players operate on.
My group are clamouring for a vanilla high fantasy game, I've played nWoD with them and Rogue Trader and while they enjoyed it, they've unanimously said "Something more heroic and magical". Now we all play quite a lot of Video Games as well, and when I said, "Something maybe WoW like?" they jumped at it.
I've never played a d20 game be it DnD, PF or anything else. I know DnD4 gets stick for 'wow like' design but I'm not sure what that entails. What system should I pick to best emulate a World of Warcraft style of gameplay... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.

It's generally by people that didn't really play 4e and are parroting some shit they heard on /tg/. This post will probably start some sort of edition war but 4e is a fine place to start if you want to get into some real crunch and heroic gameplay. If you're looking for something easier to pick up and play I would recommend any number of retro clones (games that recreate... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>48261802 >avoid d&d >except the one I like lel In all seriousness 4e is alright for what you want. Everyone has powers they use and the at will / encounter / daily makes them a bit easier to manage than long and short rests which can be somewhat arbitrary.
>>48261802 It wasn't my goal to start an edition war about anything, I'd just like to hear the merits and shortcomings of the generic high fantasy systems and decide from there. I've played quite a few other RPGs so I'm not particularly afraid of being glued to a new system at the expense of others.
I'm not exactly looking to jump into the deep end when it comes to Crunch. While I get that almost ever RPG has some barrier into getting into it, I'd prefer the barrier just be at the start rather than a constant obstacle. Basic Fantasy RPG looks pretty decent but it seems (I've not got a pdf of it just yet), but it seems like it only has a few classes? I was hoping for something akin to prestige classes or feats or something, to represent the Specialisations that players can adopt in WoW to further distinguish their class.
I was under the impression that Shadow of the Demon Lord was more akin to WFRP2, rather low key Fantasy? I'll have a look into it. I've seen 13th Age and Fantasycraft get kicked around a bit too, are either of those suitable?

To be honest any continent has enough interesting about it to warrant a setting. What area specifically would you set your campaign? Would you allow actual magic? What's the history of this world?
So, my group has been watching a lot of heist movies like Heat, Oceans Eleven, stuff like that. They wanted to run something along those lines, but our GM hasn't really run anything other than D&D or Rogue Trader. I was wondering if there was any systems that could work for this idea? Alternatively, ideas for cool heist ideas would also be cool. Just trying to help my friend out.
You remember how the backstory for the A-Team was that they robbed a bank in Hanoi, but their CO died before he could confirm their orders when they got back? The team could be a SF team doing daring behind the lines shit that mostly involves stealing enemy shit / munitions / secret prototypes / NAZI GOLD or whatever.
>>48261725 I thought shadowrun was cyberpunk fantasy or something, I'm not very familiar with it. The other two I'll look into
>>48262031 I like that premise. I'm realizing probably straight up criminals might be a little harder to do. Maybe special forces running crime ops or something would work better
