>The Mushroom race is growing people
How does this affect your setting?
>>47204134
Soon someone will leave their human-field unattended for too long and the infestation will permanently upheave mushroom society. They doom themselves with their folly.
>>47204171
But they harvest the head before they can grow bodies.
>>47204134
Do they use them as drugs?

>but they look like cute young ladies
>>47203441
Well I kill them, then. I'm a monster exterminator, it's my job. And sometimes monsters don't look like monsters.
>>47203441
kill them. fuck that shit, i'm not getting turned into a pig again by magic monster girls

do you make a special distinction for each one?
Are they gender specific terms for someone who practices magic?
Does it make any sense for D&D to spread out the magic classes by titles the way physical classes have rangers, paladins, etc.
Discuss all magic classes and how you want them to be specialized such as Summoners, etc.
>>47203088
Sorcerers - Magic in the blood
Wizards - Learnt the magic
Warlock - Link with the evil/devils
Witches - Mainly female (can be male) that uses old school magic: hexes, curses etc
I want DnD to do a Summoner Class though.
>>47203147
I want D&D to be good.
>>47203209
Fair point.
What's a d20 game with a good summoner class?
Im making a heavily cringe-enducing weeaboo-ass one-shot for my players for a special podcast at an upcoming anime convention. I made checklist to converge later and need some critique or some suggestions on what to add. Any takers?

Goddamn phone flipped the image, we're running d&d 5e
Ok off the top of my head:
>More iron heart surge
>Genderswap is specific fetish stuff. Maybe not that.
>Kitsune clearly need to be shrine maidens
Aside from that, what genre are we hitting? Pure Shonen-shit? Looks like you're going mainly for naruto/bleach to me. As played out as those jokes are, they're the two most cringy I can think of. If so, drop harem.
I don't see Paranoia mentioned much on /tg/.
Opinions of the game? Stories?
Which edition is the best?
Advice on running the game?
>>47202838
>Playing Paranoia
The best way to play it is not to even tell the players. Play a normal campaign of whatever you like, but early on in the game, pass each player a secret note with conflicting objectives on it, make sure they don't say what they're doing to everyone else.
For instance, I had a PC fight happen because one player was tasked with finding out what happened to his nephew and the other player was attempting to get revenge on a serial killer. Player trying to get revenge on the killer blows him away at the first chance he gets despite agreeing to take him alive as an agent of the police. Second player goes nuts because the only lead on where his nephew is being held now has a smoking crater for a head.Third player's goal was to deflect blame for the kiddnapping of the nephew to someone else, which he did a pretty good job of setting up the serial killer to take the fall and using the first guy to prevent any line of questioning.
>>47203211
I just think the setting seems really fun to work with, even ignoring the distinctive game mechanics.
>>47203211
That's kinda shit. Since they don't know they aren't supposed to know stuff, they'd just end up murdered for "treason" the first time they mentioned the sun, etc.
Well my friends, i come to you today with a find that really made my year. i found a copy of THIEVES WORLD TABLETOP ADVENTURE. if you are unaware, Thieves World was a series written by multiple fantasy writers in the late 70's. very well done, with great world building. anyone know anything about this? im looking through it right now and i am very excited.
>>47202455
I have it too but I never played it. I also have some of the novels - it was a setting where every writer could introduce own characters that could interact with characters from other writers, if they respected some rules.

Use OOC and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC.

He looks fuck all like him. For a start he's not Mexican nor does he have a massive moustache. You're thinking of Pedro Kantor.

I recently got the Savage Worlds book, and I'm working on a setting; a somewhat realistic 16th century world starts colonizing a fantastic (witches and cryptids, not dragons and fireballs) area that has its own tribes, kingdoms, and politics. Pretty much European and Turkish colonists expand their empires to fight over a magical !notAfrica. I am really excited about the setting, but I'm stuck a crossroads.
I want to portray simplified versions of real military styles and armies for the purpose of verisimilitude (and to sate my autisms), without drowning my players in 25 pages of subtly different swords. I read a book on renaissance warfare a few years ago that I enjoyed but I'm struggling to google my way into what satisfies me as sufficiently diverse. I also have some qualms with the wording in the weapon section, using dndisms like longsword = arming sword.
So, /tg/, what would you consider the ideal short list of semi-realistic weapons and armors to cover 16th century Europe (but not england) and Turkey?
In case any Savage World experts or interested parties would like a gander, here's a book I downloaded that gives what appear to be solid rules for making up equipment. Any excuse to toss the AP 2 glorious nippon katana out and replace it with something interesting.
Savage Worlds is utter garbage.
The bennies make short sessions a fucking nightmare because the players never fail a roll. Thanks to the wild die they fail a fuckton less anyway. I usually only have time for 2 to 3 hour sessions. People also forget their bennies meaning they have to mark up their character sheets to keep track. The card initiative is pretty cool but it's another thing you have to remember.
Now, all that can be put down to me being a semi-poorfag and a lazy shit, and also having not much free time to play.
But there's more.
The range system is autistic as fuck if you aren't using miniatures. I am sick to death of converting 24 inches to feet, especially when the game says it's 2 yards instead of 5 feet. Just give the goddamn ranges in inches.
Shotguns are completely overpowered, they only miss if you roll a 1 and deal a fuckton of damage which is made worse by exploding dice. They should have been +1 to hit and 2d8 damage. I know 3d6 lets them do the 3d6/2d6/1d6 shit for long ranges but a straight damage penalty would have worked fine.
The guns in the book are also retarded with a G3 dealing less damage than an AK-47.
Armor piercing is a fucking bitch to remember and is over-used.
The katana is weeaboo wet-dream crap.
The skills are shitty and overspecific as fuck. Fighting Notice Stealth and Shooting are basically the only skills that matter.
The full auto takes goddamn forever to roll for in large battles.
Bennies make the characters unstoppable gods of death.
All non-wildcards get one wounds so even fighting larger creatures is just hit-or-miss, there's no meaty boss fights without arbitrary wild card shit.
I can go on. But OP you are really better off dropping Savage Worlds and picking up GURPS.
>>47201292
Well, that was a lot of words to explain why you're a faggot, anon, and that was very brave of you to understand yourself so well, but this isn't about exploring your personal demons, so next time, try to stay on the fucking topic, okay?
My dm doesnt understand that you cannot jump during a charge unless you have the leap attack feat. I've showed him multiple rules and rulebooks that have this info in them and refuses to believe it. Should I just quit his adventure?
>>47200682
Ignoring the rules is the best way to play 3.5.
In other wordsthe best way to play 3.5 to not play 3.5 or PF
Why can't you jump during a charge? Leap Attack only increases your power attack bonus damage.
>>47200777
Charging is a full round action, it takes up your movement and attack.
