Smug elves: as tall or taller on average than humans
Cute elves: as tall or shorter than humans on average

I prefer taller

>>47520141
A full head shorter than humans.
Rather than elves being short, humans are just tall. Humans are supposed to be scary, so they have to be big to be intimidating

I don't know, but Numenera isn't it.

Meh I just started off with typical historic fantasy and allowed the timeline to slowly drag its ass into the space age.

The end result was actually quite amusing if taking a lot longer because of magical brain drain but it does happen eventually.

>>47504972
I try to splash some in whether the game is focused on it or not, just to remind the players that no matter how little the NPCs care about them, they can be bought.

For when Dave gets here - got any more info you can share on the London Consillium in Mage 2e

Rough populations of native / tourist Mages would be helpful too

Why have the last couple of threads been so slow?

you two must play magic the gathering

It mas surprise you, but women like tabletop too. They don't need to be invited in.

Yes. Reasonably well. I put together small army she could use, she played for a year or so. Then we broke up. Couple months later she called to buy the army off me.

>>47495153
Yes.
Poorly.
Shadowrun is for fags and that's all they wanted to play.

Wow there's no actual directives here... just that "Board and divert the course of this Spacehulk." Order.

Am I the only one who gets the feeling we're always the ones sent first for the suicidal engagements? Not that I complain, just... an observation, it's like if they wanted to get rid of us.

>>47523705
>looks up from reading a book
of course they want to get rid of us, just look at us.

>>47523726
Well I understand why they'd want to get rid of you, you're a xeno! This is the Ordo Xenos!

No one here has ever played with females

Good - good characters with well rounded backstories with a variety of motivations and reasons to stay with the party and a variety of skills that are useful to said party

Bad - characters who aren't the above.

How is this even a question OP? What kind of response where you even expecting?

I live on the edge. I never short rest. Always long rest. Even when the boss is in the next room.

Fuck bitches, get spell slots.

Hey, My group and I are playing though some 5e, and the big thing that keeps fucking up the dm is skill checks. He, and I as well, fell its very hard to assign some generic difficulty to most actions. What should the nature check should be to know the specifics on chimera attack patterns or resistance? For a generic Strength check, who much weight is stone that takes a dc 15 to move compared to a stone taking dc 25?

Anyway, I am just asking if anyone has any resources with good examples per use of a skill or ability check, or better yet some formulas, we can use for 5e.

>>47520555
DCs are as high as the story needs. If the players NEED to move the one ton stone to scape dying, the DC might be 15. If the players just want to move a random 50 pound boulder for no reason, then it might be DC25, because fuck fucking around.

DCs are just "how likely is the player to do a thing because plot" and fussing over exactitudes is just dumb. Of course, once a number has been assigned to a thing, it should stay that number on next visits, because consistency. Or maybe not.

It's an axe. You axe things. Its not necessarily as good at killing shit as. Sword, but does a pretty good job for what is essentially a tool.

I keep seeing it but I never know where to get it

But then the nerds who spent all their money on official merchandise will be butthurt about it and not let you play with them. And they're running the tournaments.

Some people wanna play with other people who have the actual things

I wanna play 40k against someone else with a nicely painted 40k model collection, rather than using various fruits and pieces of stationery to represent them because its cheaper

“Are you stupid?” Rage asked, floating over to block her way, “You can’t be an adventurer. You’ll die.”
“I’ve already been on several adventures. I already am an adventurer.”
“No, an adventurer is someone who purposely goes out looking for adventures. You accidentally have them. It’s the difference between being a fireman and a bad chef.”
“Look, it’s too late. I already bought the armor, so that’s the end of this discussion,” Ribbon said as she ducked under him. The young elf then started going through the cupboards, grabbing anything...

Ribbon had guessed that was going to be Rage’s reaction. The salamander really insisted on treating her like a child, always doubting her abilities and acting like she couldn’t do anything by herself. To hear him tell the story of her life would be for him to recount a long list of failures. Punctuated, of course, with Rage making sure you knew he was against the idea from the start. He was incredibly unsupportive for a familiar, to the point where Ribbon wondered if she had somehow botched the summoning ritual that had called him to her.

Regardless of what Rage thought,...

Having finished raiding the kitchen, she took a look at the small pile she had left on the counter. Cookies for energy, chocolate for stamina, and plenty of extra cookies as emergency rations. She had read that elves suffered from weaker constitution than the other races, and while that had never been the case in her own personal experience, she knew she had to do what she could to counter any weaknesses she might have. With her “stamina plus” rations ready on the counter, she dashed off to her room to get the remaining items she needed, her armor pinching her around the...

They're not, really. D&D only avoided a lawsuit by changing to the halfling name.

Because Halflings are boring.
Elitest Scandinavian Elves and Drunken Scottish Dwarves are cool, but no one cares about chubby midget Englishmen.

>>47506102
Because the Elves and Dwarves we talk about are based on the hundreds of fantasy works, many of which came before Tolkien or are like DnD equivalent and not based on Tolkien. They are extremely widespread due to this.

Hobbits pretty much only existed in the works of a single author.

Werewolves, weretrolls, wereboars, werebears, etc. I have them all.

Battleforms of Human Shamans who take on the Wolf Totem. Tendency to go feral if let loose for too long.

There was a big magical disaster on the realm and now is full of undead and aberrations. People of one small town had to sell their souls to the wolf demon trapped below the town to survive.
