Looks like GW finally have a legitimate excuse to sue someone. Pic is from the new Iron Man comic.
GW only sues honest, hardworking little guys who are struggling to get by. They're no match for Marvel's legal department.

This.
GW are bullies and Disney would literally bury them in lawyers.
GW only sues people who they know can't afford to engage in a lengthy legal battle, because most of their policies are bullshit/illegal anyway so any competent lawyer will just tell them to fuck off.
Why the fuck do my players give me grief about having a DMPC if they NEVER WANT TO FUCKING DM.
Its asinine. I think I am just going to make a mary sue and shove it down their throats because i am a petty and vindictive man.

Fucking do it, faget.

Can I fuck your DMPC pregnant?
If no, fuck off.

Funny that we are almost in the exact opposite situation, OP. My players always want me to have a DMPC, because they don't want to DM either and they think that I'll have fun too that way.
DMPCs are frowned upon because there are many horror stories about them done incorrectly, but honestly, it's not hard. You just have to prevent your char from having meta knowledge, and don't fudge anything in your favor.
In practice, just never know the answer for any riddle, or who was the killer,...

Rene and her crew are able to easily dispatch the birdman bandits that came to their campsite, and they rest easily afterwards, confident that more Vautou aren't going to be particularly close.
"I... I..." Hauteclere, back at the transport group, quietly buries her head in her hands in the aftermath of Rene and co's escape.

Only real choice is actually the Guardsman, let's be real here. His hot sister and I can bond over his unfortunate and early death. There's no sex better than funeral sex.
Do Abominations/Kaiju need any established motives?
On the one hand, having 'It wants to consume/kill/dominate everything because it does' seems like a fairly shit hook for a BBEG.
On the other, the whole point of eldritch is that it is beyond morality and intentionally alien.
Are abominations doomed to be shitty plot hooks, or do they actually make compelling enemies beyond the initial mindfucking? Can they make a long-term enemy for a campaign or are they better included in a one-off final showdown?
Will post pics of spooky monsters.

How would one go about simplifying William Blake's mythology so that it could serve as a pantheon in a fantasy game?
Nothing?

You're likely overestimating the familiarity most 20 year old game nerds have with William Blake.

I'm in need of a new playmat for mtg and I need some image ideas. I'll dump a few that I was thinking of starting with this one.
Also playmat and accessories general.
Friend is making a playmat for me.
Here is what he has done soo far.
Keep in mind this is by a guy whose entire knowledge of MTG comes from watching a single game of EDH

spellcasting requires mana, but honestly i'd make this as handwaving as necessary. at worst, give characters a resource pool that increases once a turn and just say no one ever misses a land drop.

Hmm. Presumably they have to actually collect the mana from the land they're in.
Can they all channel any mana? What happens if you normally use white mana and you're somewhere there is none (like a shard of other colors)?
Does channeling mana mess with your personality?
Can new planeswalkers be stabbed to death like a normal creature?

Fuck, I have players coming this thursday for a dungeons the dragonign game and I haven't prepared anything
They are in a world where technological stuff is getting slowly destroyed worldwide due to a curse and they have just gotten an old sailing ship to load their magical car that's onto, but beyond that I have no idea what to throw them, but luckily they aren't very demanding
TL;DR: help me with bullshit excuses of adventures for my players
also requesting that pic of 100 quests that had funny shit like "bees get organized"

I have absolutely no idea how that game is played. Saw the meme. Feels like a bastard, fanmade child of D&D and WoD, but you ain't going to get help by being this vague...

What goes in the Final Dungeon, /tg/?
I've got a party of first-time players reaching the end of their first campaign, and I want to make it memorable. They've got to bust into an ancient, ruined advanced magical research facility. Get to the central ritual chamber, usurp the power of the gods, use said power to defeat the Eye Beneath the World, etc. I need ideas for traps, mad experiments, crazy rooms, etc. Help a GM out?
It's 5e D&D, party is 12th level with good teamwork. I've been having trouble seriously challenging them, and I want...

How to make a demon non edgy? Something not too serious but not a complete goofball either. Make him like kids? Have him addicted to sugar and get into actual lives threatening sperg out if he can't get it?
>>48243652
That would be comedic.
Give him a real personality with real motivations for eff's sake.
>Have him addicted to sugar and get into actual lives threatening sperg out if he can't get it?
That's goofball. You'll want to make him slightly edgy but not pointlessly so.
Instead of indiscriminately killing people, make him follow a personal code of not killing helpless people, but turning those capable of fighting into mush.
Any good ones? Does anyone have experience with them? Recommendations?
>>48243449
Dogs in the Vineyard. The default setting is pseudo-Mormon inquisitors but it's really, really easy to adapt to just about anything.
Deadlands is a hell of a lot of fun. Old system especially. You can easily drop the ghost-story stuff and play it straight if you want.

Let's say theoretically, that you entered a competition with a buddy about who can shag the prettiest broad and who can fuck her best.
Then after a week, you banged a gal over at the post office and he banged his brother in a wig, a pound of makeup and a dress.
Your buddy insists he won, as he made his brother howl in delight.
The idea is that competition in MTG involves two aspects, collecting AND play. Lots of competitive people don't see it that way, but...

Just stop you're terrible at this
The rest of your post is better, now you're just defending people who get mad about proxies?
That's fine, I understand what you're saying, if somebody personally thinks that "collecting cards is part of the competition in magic" (literally pay to win, you mean to say), then nobody can force that person to play with them, everybody is entitled to pick their playgroups and who they will associate with
I was wondering: are there any RPG systems focused on social interaction? I wanted to organize kind of a dating game, and I was curious if there was anything available dealing with those themes.
>inb4 FATAL
Thank you in advance.
>>48243309
I don't know of any systems focused on socializing from a mechanical standpoint, but WoD and GURPS are both systems that reward RP, and discourage combat in my experience. I'm tempted to say to just avoid d20 systems now, but I doubt that's correct.
Honestly the social aspect of a session is always reliant on your players, and your own, ability to RP rather than any mechanics for such. Otherwise it becomes "I roll to 'x'"
