At one does someone role-play too much?
> inb4 larping
I mean obviously but that's like saying 'you know you've drunk too much water when you're literally drowning'

When they develop a mental disorder. I knew a kid who had to go to the local funny farm because he literally couldn't stop rolling dice to decide his real-life actions.
LARPing is just having fun with friends.
>At one does someone role-play too much?
When it starts becomming deterrent to other people's opportunities to roleplay or even just rollplay.
>>47318972
Booker has snacks. Ha.
You rp too much when it becomes detrimental to your life. Can't get a job because you are on roll20? Too far. But other than that, you're good.
Opinions, /tg/?
On mechanics, setting, system, style, whatever.

The only thing I've seen of it was the "lol, your balls fall off and your dick explodes!" spell. I don't know anything else about it, but that was enough to color my expectations somewhat.

It's supposed to be Diablo-like demonic horror with horrific magicks and whatnot, but I haven't played it.
>>47318909
Fantastic if you want to play Diablo3 without a computer.
The combat mechanics are gamey as fuck.It feels less like a roleplaying game and more like a boardgame that's full of itself.
What would be a good symbol for lost oppurtunities?
I'm writing a dream scene for a plaadin in our party and it will consist of two symbols: lost time and lost oppurtunities. Lost time will be clocktowers with clocks ripped out. What about lost oppurtunities?
thanks
Girls from their past they never pursued. Requests for help they turned down. Other professions they could have taken. e.g. flashbacks of stuff that didn't happen because they either accidentally or deliberately missed out
Perhaps images of a family they could have had with one of the farm-girls in their old town, etc.
Nice, bot too obvious. Thatswhy clocktowers with clocks ripped out = lost time. I need a symbol.
Broken bridges, locked gates, other such blocked off paths. You could emphasise them as past opportunities as opposed to future ones by having these paths close off behind the paladin as they passes or travels down them.
Personally I like my dream sequences to be fairly interactive in their imagery, so for lost time I would've gone for something like hourglasses that have run their course, but sand doesn't flow if they are flipped (or if they're still running, continue flowing from bottom to top) - if you want to keep the clock theme, stopped clocks that...

I was supposed to leave 1 unopened, 1 for re-casting, 1 for painting...
but I can't bring myself to open them.
I've bought two for less than RRP on ebay, just open them already

>I can't bring myself to open them
I can kinda sympathise. I couldn't bring myself to pay $90 for $6 worth of models - I'd feel like I was paying an $84 fine for being stupid.
Were you actually retarded enough to buy into the hype and shilling? Holy shit.
ITT: Characters and their theme songs.
I'll start:
In a dystopian future at the heart of the sprawl, Henry Thomas is one of the shit-eating proletariat. His family driven to starvation and desperation by a lack of work, Henry signs onto a Corp human experimentation program, wavering away his rights.
As it turns out, the project is a proof-of-concept data set for the development and sale of biologically altered and cybernetically enhanced Private Military Contractors; to the highest bidder, of which there are many in the South African sprawl's vicinity.
After testing and modification equivalent...

After seeing so many horrors, wars, atrocities, and after taking countless lives (to the point where he has begun enjoying it, though he realizes how wrong that is and how evil he's become), the last immortal travels far and wide for literal ages, seeking only his own death.

Holy shit, I swear this is everyone who has ever wanted to build a casting class.
>>47317858
Yes, thank you for making a thread about the parody power metal you found.
>>47317873
No problem babe, I try to keep up with the times.

>Playing a caster because you want ultimate power
>Not playing a caster because you want to be the naive inexperienced student character who secretly (or not so secretly) needs the rest of the party to keep from getting killed in terrible terrible ways by the first thing with actual experience and intent to kill.
Now, when discussing non-sapient races (centaurs, pic related, dragons, etc) one thing I haven't really seen addressed too often is nutrition and fitness. So, /tg/, how does your race stay /fit/ and what does a "good diet" consist of?
Sorry, I thought "sapient" meant bipedal for some reason.
>>47317495
Astro-oats and multi-squats.
Duh
>>47317495
Centaurs might be omnivores or herbivores.
Dragons are carnivores.
What's the best way to have a conversation happen between two npc's that is required without it being this awkward "dm turning different directions and talking in different voice essentially talking to himself" scenario?
>>47317259
I narrate it indirectly, but it sucks.
>>47317276
Yeah that quickly becomes "he says she says" for long conversations the pc'so might want to listen In on.
