How multicultural and diverse is the nation or region that your game is currently taking place in?
Is it just a land of humans that all look and speak in the same fashion or is it a melting pot of many cultures and species? Is the diversity of the land (or the lack of it) depicted as a positive or a negative trait?
Ye average Forgotten Realms mish-mash of Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Halflings and the other 5e core-races. As vanilla as possible for me, babeh DM. Playing with randomly inserting a Mind-Flayer painter in the background of a scene that no one pays attention to just to see if my players are paying attention.
Good to see Kill Six Billion Demons updates!

How could you possibly reveal it's presence without saying "there is a Mind-Flayer painter in the background"?

Fairly diverse, and celebrated for its diversity, but not in the modern inclusive way. It's an empire, and one that whenever possible tries to incorporate the strengths of its conquered foes into its own culture. It's a very selfish diversity, concerned with whether new cultural ideas will be of use for the empire and not whether the ideas have any independent value.
What exactly are these mysterious constructs doing on Cadia in such vast numbers? What are their purposes and most importantly, who made them?

How do you find people to play with if you're an autistic with social anxiety?
>>47489709
Wouldn't be a problem if your mom would have aborted you like it's her duty to preserve the human race (which it is).
>>47489709
Find other autistic people. It works trust me.

How would your standard fantasy world function if it had magic, dragons, kingdoms, and all of that jazz, except that it follows cheap poorly-written romance novel logic?

Imagine generic hentai plot minus the hentai.
Go to fanfiction.net and do a search by tags fantasy+romance.
I was playing through Shadowrun: Dragonfall and got to the section that you start to interact with Humanis (A human supremacy group). The Game clearly tried to frame them as bad guys and an analogy for white supremacists, but truth be told some of their arguments made sense to me. For instance, the longevity of elves locking humans out of certain positions in jobs. Elves have massive lifespans. It seems that by virtue of their age they are going to eventually work their way up the corporate ladder no matter how incompetent they may be. Once there, they basically stopgap other...

Justification is pretty subjective.
Look at real life "X" Power groups; "unjustified "from an outsider's perspective, but often emerge from a situation with a lot more grey areas than most are willing to admit.
Say the local Orc gang is robbing poorer humans who have to live on the wrong side of town, and a subset of the humans mob up and start beating and lynching Orcs.
This can be "Justified" from a human perspective, because the Orcs are an intractable criminal menace but as far as the Orcs are concerned; presumably prioritizing the value of an Orc's life over the change purses of a few poncy humans, would consider it unjustifiable.
The broader society's views on such occurrences are by and large irrelevant, as they are not affected by any of the factors of the feud, but they will insist on passing their flaccid judgement either way.
>>47489023
It tries to frame them as that because they are.
Humanis is not above poisoning large sections of the population to kill off metas and justifies it by saying some of the humans might survive.
They shoot meta babies, bomb meta friendly schools and assassinate meta politicians. They brain wash troll and orc children, wage media and propaganda campaigns to divide humanity and will hire runners to take out any who might oppose them.
They are fucking terrorist in the setting, it is what they were...

Their arguments might make sense, but their methods are usually what make them into villains.
For example, Humanis and other human supremacist groups are linked to events like the Night of Rage where metas were forced into buildings that were then blocked up and burned down. Elves might be taking all muh jobs, but their approach to fixing that tends to be causing a much greater amount of harm than that.
This all of course depends on your view of society and politics in the real world, since they are very clearly meant to be comparable to racial supremacy groups in the real world.
Is there a /tg/ pastebin? I'm completely new and I don't understand a single thing.
>>47488820
Don't worry, most people who spent here years understand jack shit about traditional games as well.
1d4chan.org may clarify some things.
>>47488840
Thanks anon.

First I suggest you pick a game and find some folks to play with. Experience the hobby before you hear a bunch of people shit all over it on the internet.
And if you are trying RPG'sthere are other games than D&D, some of them might even be a better match for you. It's not a bad game, but it's far from the only game.
My friends want me to play dnd with them. I want to see how long it takes them to realize I am literally just playing as nightcrawler from the xmen.
What race/class ect do I need? He is acrobatic, can teleport, can climb on walls, is invisible in shadows, and can fence well.

Post your fakes, /tg/

What would be the cheapest way to proxy up this deck? Doesn't need to fool anyone, I just like having nice proxies over an island and a piece of paper.
>>47488365
At the rate this beautiful Chinaman improves his product, I think we are 1 year away from needing a loupe to distinguish his cards from real ones. Some fake are so close that you need to put a real one beside it to tell them apart.
>>47488365
Bought one lot once and the cards were very easy to distinguish as fakes.
Are there any good vendors out there for proxies that won't get me caught?
What's your favorte tabletop/pen-and-paper character that you ever made? The one whose concept, backstory, or adventures you enjoyed more than all the rest.
Tell us about 'em.
Oh god I can't. I've written so much post-game fan fiction about them and that group. THEY CAN NEVER KNOW.

A 6'5" Half Orc Fighter. He had a short temper and was a brutal fighter.
Every time the party would reach a new culture or city, he would search the market for, or commission a merchant to make, a trinket or keepsake that he would bring back to his wife and two children so they could see all places he had traveled.
He would also occasionally make terrible dad jokes and be furious when no one laughed.
I really want to bring him back at some point. He was so fun to play.

The exact same thing happened to Perseus. Just go kill some snake chick with a paralyzing gaze and give it to him as a wedding gift.
What would follow in a setting if magic had become commonplace, and every commoner knew at least some magic? Cantrips like Mending, Message or Mage Hand could be invaluable for day to day living, and many other spells such as Enlarge Person, or Animate Rope could be useful to other professions such as construction and sailing. This becomes even more useful if you get away from the typical D&D spells which are only designed for use for adventurers, and start thinking about spells that would be useful for everyday work.
>>47487835
Isn't that the context of eberron?
>>47490118
Never heard of it.
Basically, Iron hands have techmarine/chaplain mix called Iron father
I was wondering if the same thing could be done with Chaplains and Librarians.
>>47487410
IIRC White Scars do that. Red Scorpions probably mix chaplains with apothecaries.
>>47487433
what are they called?
>>47487505
Stormseers or Stormlords, something like that
"I see you're not a native from the Frontier, that makes two of us I guess."
"Me? Came out here hoping to score some cash walking merchants across the Golden Waste and wound up incidently playing hopscotch with an IED but since they don't have good health care just got some chrome and back on the road. What about you?"
>>47487262
"I think I'm coming down with something. Do I have some swelling on my right cheek? Does it look bad?"
>>47487547
Looks fine. Barely noticeable.
>>47487262
Let me introduce you to the concept of barrel length.
What are some interesting time-related powers a character can have without becoming effectively invincible?
The setting allows for the existence of extremely powerful mages and godlike supernatural beings, but I'd rather not have the main character be too powerful from the start.
>>47486998
Create a field of fast-time and slow-time.
>>47487023
How would that work exactly?
My original idea was to allow the character to erase small portions of time in order to avoid life-threatening events, much like king crimson from jojo - with a stamina limit, of course, and no precognition, so using that power would require educated guessing. What do you think?
I'm interested as well.
