Can anyone recommend me a game where the players play as the rulers of a nation and need to make decision on resource management and foreign relations?
I'm thinking something along the lines of a Sid Meier's Civilization rpg.

Potentially GoT
It's apoc setting but I'm settling down to GM a game of Mutant: Year Zero. Players play as the first generation of mutants to be born in the wasteland, barely scraping by a living trying to balance food, culture, technology and warfare advancement projects.
Check it out, a lot of fun

GoT's the most recently published thing that comes to mind.
Exalted allows for army management, but doesn't have much when concerning resource management
If your group is attached to DnD, you could always dig up Birthright from 2nd Edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons.
Otherwise if you want a sci-fi setting, you could try Star Without Number. It might be a bit sparse on resource management, but you got units and money.
I'm building my DND champion for tomorrow nights game. My DM let me roll using six D20's and the results are as follows: 1, 10, 12, 15, 16, 19.
My question is what do I do with that one???
Basically one stat has to suffer massive penalty's.

Is he still banned or should I wait for him?

Sorry , What??

Alright lads I want some truth up in this thread. Am I the asshole that needs to change, or is it everyone else?
Since its release a bunch of people started playing AoS at my club; myself included. While everyone was excited for the game (we're 40k guys so there wasn't any rage over fantasy's death) I was one of the more serious people at the time.
Having read nearly all the fantasy novels already I decided that I wanted to play Skaven and WoC once the rules came out.
Capitalizing on the chaos, I was able to buy up a metric fuck load of models for...

Pt2.
I try to be a fun and relaxed guy and I genuinely like everyone at my club, but it's starting to feel like people only play me in the hopes of winning so they can say how good they are.
I haven't lost a game of AoS in about two months now. So people are starting to bring some really cheesy lists yet they still lose. I feel like a lot of them just aren't good at the game yet and make bad tactical plays, but I dont wanna be a fuckin dick and say that, or I'll be even more ostracized.
These guys still kick my ass in 40k pretty often...

You're not a dick.
At this point: you "got gud". You are self rewarding mastery. So now, if you want to appear less the dick, you need to start losing.
Just repeat the Dwarf Fortress motto: "losing is fun". Deliberately throw a game. Yes, I am telling you to take a fall. Because the way you have fun is becoming un-fun for your fellow gamers. If you don't let them win periodically, they will stop playing against you, and then AoS will DIE in your gaming club.
It's like this:...

So there is this manchild on my local gaming store that is annoying as fuck and it's always insisting on me to play him. So according to all the store people the only way to stop this is for me to crush him on a game.
He plays fucking eldar and I play Blud Ravens.
Could anyone suggest me a good way to quickly crush him? He loves to use dire avengers and warp spiders.
>>47346952
Mhhhhhm. Pasta.
Here I present my list, I am thinking on using a skyhammer anhilation force. Worthy of stheel reen! And I will even convert a Captain Hair Gel "Aramus" to lead it!
The idea is to use the landspeeders to give more avoid conentrated targets, and dig out camped bastards. I could give multimeltas instead to go and hunt tanks in case this fucker goes that way.

When your Ministorum Priest starts belting out a War Hymn, what's he singing?
I'll start: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckNWtmkA2_g
I especially like this piece because it's possible to do with just stomping and one instrument, so you can easily picture a priest leading a regiment in song as they march.
Not a Ministorum Priest, but War Hymns are a big part of the Skitarii's shtick too.

Keifer Sutherland

Tim Curry in his role as Frankenfurter from Rocky Horror.

Probably that roman noble robot from Futurama. I think he was always my favorite.
Any advice how to hold a WWII/ cold war campaign?
I tried to bring a friend into trpg, but he said rather than medieval setting, he is more into WWII or cold war period, which I have no idea how to run.
Are there any ruleset for this? And is it really a good idea? I can't think of any plot for a single man in such a grand battle.
Dont even care came here for keith thompson art.
Also is there a cold war gone hot book in the military campaign thread OP? Check there.

I know that everyone always says, "Use gurps!" But I actually used Gurps for my "alternate history WWI & II campaign, and it worked really well.

Twilight 2000 OP.
"Oi! You that adventurer that was tasked by the boss to do that quest? I was told by the boss to accompany you to help complete the quest and to make sure ya get it done without lootin' everything you were told to get. So ya ready to head out?"
>>47346011
Oh hey, would you look at that.
A talking bag of loot.
Okay, it's off to the dangerous dungeon all alone with me and my five friends. I hope you've got high perception, because you're going through doors first, trap bait.
Alright friend I could use a companion to help complete the task. So sure, come along and we can share the riches.
I need some inspiration.
So I'm DMing a 5e game and the party ran across some monsters guarding some treasure who had clearly been there for a really long time. It has nothing to do with like the main adventure, it's just some random thing that happened along the way.
But instead of like, loot, or whatever, they just find a 1'x1'x1' black cube that weighs about 6 pounds. Doesn't seem to be any recognizable stone or other material, and it doesn't seem to have much powerful magic juju, but it seems impervious, and it's ominous...

They did this in an episode of Doctor Who. A bunch of mysterious indestructible cubes appeared all over it. They did absolutely nothing, for the first year. They were actually filled with sensor devices, and we're studying Humanity. After the first year a bunch of them opened and produced different stimuli to map out the changes in Behavior among humans exposed to said stimuli. Once the alien race that created the cubes had properly mapped human physiology, the used the cubes as repeating antennas to transmit...

The cube serves as a holy relic to a bunch of insane, murderous nomads who'll stop at nothing to get it back.
I need some help working through this, /tg/. My gaming group dumped me on the streets a couple months ago, and Im still really fucking hurt.

find a new group with blackjack and hookers
>>47343772
Fuck this guy. Make a new group for blackjack out of hookers.
If Intelligence in D&D/Pathfinder is "book smarts" while Wisdom is "street smarts," then how come the Investigation skill in 5e (discovering and understanding clues in the environment) uses Intelligence, and 3.5 and Pathfinder's factotum and investigator classes use Intelligence for all their street-smarts-themed inspiration abilities?
Even beloved Dreamscarred Press's warder initiator class for Pathfinder uses Intelligence for Reflex and initiative, which seems more like "street smarts" to me.
>>47343432
Because wisdom is for clerics and it worked better for skill focused classes.

Are there any non-divine classes outside of 4e that use Wisdom?
