What is he holding?
Is it a banshee's hair or something?

Abbadon's topknot. He got krumped by a Grot.

Clearly, that is a root for some plant he uprooted.

He saw that this whole place is pretty dusty, so he got his best feather duster to clean up.
Got a question /tg/.
I just moved to Turkey from Europe and I'm looking for a group to play board games with. Stuff like Castles of Mad King Ludwig, or Ticket to Ride. Not D&D.
How do you go about finding groups to play these with? In Europe I just searched on Google and found group sites then went along one day. But so far I've not been able to find anything online for groups in Turkey.

Bump
Hey /tg/ I've been toying with a character idea in my head and I was wondering if you could help me develop it.
Basically I want to play as a prince that's done something wrong, forcing him not so much into exile but into some sort of voluntary adventure of penitence to redeem himself. I just can't figure out what sort of deed would warrant such action.
He would be stripped of all titles and the majority of his wealth but not be on entirely bad terms with his family (I guess he has a forgiving family). Upon completing his adventure he'd be welcomed...

Cowardice
>>142242041
Everything you said reminds me of this.
>>47263586
He literally rebelled against his father, causing a teeny weeny civil war. His motivations were purely self-centred but after he lost his father had mercy upon him. So he lost his titles and was banished, and now has to redeem himself and become a more responsible, well rounded man, a man worthy of the throne.
Have you ever played a master of disguise type character? Either using "traditional" props in a real-world game, super science or magic? It's an interesting archetype that doesn't see much play and I can totally see a Mission Impossible style fantasy campaign.
Yeah, I played a changeling. The pale gaunt shapeshifter race kind, not the stolen at birth kinds. One of the main focuses of the character was being able to turn a corner down an alleyway and change appearance in moments.

Is this that redeemed succubus meme again?

Anon.... help me! All I can think about is that awful movie when reading your post.

Have you ever tried to use Discord to run online tabletop?
I wanna give it a shot because
>Private servers
>Separate Text and Voice channels that can be browsed at the same time
>Multiple channels that could be used for in-game and OOC
>Channel nicknames that can be changed into character names
>Roles and role management for various uses like straight up GM-PLAYER or classes per role
>The ability to bring, create or customize diceroller bots with various functions for specific games
The only thing it's really lacking is videochat and/or screen sharing for maps and other shit, but it honestly sounds pretty good
Alternatively, what do you use for online games other than roll20?
>>47262967
Currently running Talislanta 4e vua Discord because roll20 decided to go ahead and be a little bitch when thr firs session was scheduled. It's pretty gud. It holds character sheets, allows for sorting the party into channles however you like, all that. It has two failings, namely no screen sharing and shitty dice, but both are workable. Though I think we may be switching to ye olde maptoolse soon.

I tend to lurk here and got a couple really neat games going.
Prefer it over IRC for text and Skype for voice, most bots are kind of shit at rolls and there is no VTT.
>>47263195
Maptools is pretty alright. There is a BR toll called Firecast that is better thouhg.
>>47262967
We use discord for voice chat and roll20 to do the rolls. It just works.
So since BFG is having a revival and Armada recently got new ships, let's have a Firestorm Universe general.
>>47260573
First for ded games. Taskforce saw no new releases, in fact, no new stats, since February when the starters were released. Good planning.

Spartan Games ADHD is real.
>It's halo time now, fuck you.- Spartan
>>47263702
It's not even that. It's Halo: Ground Combat time now.
You can actually spot the exact point where they stopped giving a fuck about the space game around the time they released the Valiant.
Plus they had a weird-war 2 3mm game involving Rattes, Maus Companies and other shit AS WELL on display at Salute, so THAT'S a thing also.
At this point, I beleive that Spartan have more active games than they have actual employees, and seem clinically unable to understand why that's...

How do I make my combat more dangerous? Regardless of system.
Add more mechanical nuances to combat that players have to look out for and roll on
aka artificial difficulty
>>47259993
Why do you want it to be more dangerous?
>>47259993
Have rocks floating above your players' heads at all times, with random rolls determining whether they fall or not.
What would be contained in your ideal generic system? What do you think the hallmarks of a good generic system are? What is your favorite generic system and why? What "lethality level" do you think is ideal? How tough should characters be? What attributes should be used? Other opinions? Please don't make this a shitstorm.
inb4 they suck, yes some genres you might as well use the game tailored for that genre (D&D, or Call of Cthulu, or Apocalypse World depending) but it's nice to have a go-to system to run a new idea.
>>47259794
Savage Worlds does pretty much everything I want. Easy system, fast combat, reroll mechanics, etc. It's simple to work with and you can run just about anything with minimal effort.
Im putting together a game od Ops and Tactics right now. I mean its generally a system for modern combat but it has some great melee rules too. I could see using it for everything from medieval to future combat.
My game is a bit like shadowrun with less crunch and none of shadowruns fluff ( i hate shadowruns left leaning nature). There is magic and cybernetics with rules in the splat book for it, as well as being friendly for new players and dms.
>>47259932
Quick question, though.
Do they expect people to use 3.5 monsters?
>>47259074
>dat old Marine art
I remember when that sort of excessive artstyle was everywhere. When did we become so reserved? It's weird that in an era where individuality is easily achievable, people start liking conformist uniform aesthetics.
>>47259074
>stormtrooper above clone trooper.
>>47263345
Since when were either of those forces "Marines" anyway? And for that matter, where are the Colonial Marines?
Let's say you were replacing "HP" in a system with "Armor Points", with the idea that once a character is out of AP, they start taking wounds and get death spirally.
How do you:
Make AP scale with level
do things equivalent to "health potions", repair oil? Mending balm?
>>47258816
Could have a "natural armor" or have it effectively function as armor but call it Endurance points or something. I like the concept, makes it more realistic.
Making HP scale with level is pretty simple. Just go with you're better at taking the hits with the armor. While early on you might just tense your body when struck causing your armor to baldly dent with more experience you might relax a limb slightly or turn your body, turning a hard hit into a glancing scratch.
As for equivalent to health potions, you can't do too much unless you want to magic away damage. You could scavenge armor from foes you defeated without breaking every piece. Stabbed through the heart? Maybe the helmet is still mostly intact. Decapitation?...

>>47258816
So, say this was implimented in 5e D&D, your AC is instead how many Armor points you have, then hit die are converted to a simpler Wounds. At level one, a wizard has like 1-2 wounds where as a fighter at the same level has maybe 4-5. Once a creature takes a wound, they gain disadvantage till healed. Rolling to hit is based entirely on saves. Damage from weapons is converted to a more appropriate measurement for breaking armor and then damaging wounds. Certain weapins are better at damaging armor such as maces,...

Welcome to the grand opening of guildhall!.
I trust you've all got your keycards in order
Now after the banquet you get a couple minutes to discuss your new weapon. bathrooms are on your left, inorganic disposal is for the grey garbage can, organic in the red garbage can.
hmmm it looks kinda ugly, what is that thing you brought?
Oh, this. This was suppose to be a shrinking ray. All i got was a ray that turned organic beings into tiny blobs of meat.

Don't happen to have some brothers do you?
Is an invasion of energy beings from another dimension still science fiction or already fantasy?
Depends on whether you call it magic or use a technobabble term.
>>47257036
It's science fantasy.

Fuck this shit.

I did a female voice once. Half the players at the table were gawking at me, one of the others was laughing and the last one had a very prominent blush on his face.
This is why I don't do voices any more.
>>47256208
That's when you do your Scarlett Johansson impression.
Pictured, tough female mercenary.
I joined a game without realizing that we were doing IC in voice chat (I'm used to OOC voice chat and IC text chat), where I had a signed up as an old witch.
I just said fuck it and did my best, and people had a good time. No one expects you to be a professional voice actor.

Blogpost on /tg/, it always works
Beyond that, I guess just keep an eye out for games, dude, maybe go to the LFG threads.
Oh shit, this is me all the time. I can never really be a player for stupid reasons too
Hate it when that shiit happens
