Hello, I was wondering if anyone could give me some recommendations on getting into table top role playing games, good places to start, tips for getting started as a first time player, what to expect, what I'll need to learn,finding a group, etiquette, etc. any advice at all is greatly appreciated.
I've been interested in tabletop rpg's for a while. I used to have an old friend on the internet (before he disappeared off the internet) who would always relate his latest tabletop gaming sessions to me and all the most amusing things that happened, and made it sound like a lot of fun. I've always found the lore and world building in many tabletop games interesting too. But actually getting into them always seemed daunting.
I've been getting into a lot of things lately that always seemed daunting for me before, so I think now would be a good time to take the dive. I've actually been lurking here for a while, and thought this would be the best place to ask for advice on how to properly break into this medium.
This is my first time posting on 4chan, also. So sorry if I've said or done anything stupid here.

Hey! What kind of tabletops are you interested in getting into? Do you have any friends in real life who currently play? How old are you?
>>47161084
I'm 23.And no, sadly, I don't know anyone irl who's into games.
For games, I'm not sure. I'm not familiar at all with the mechanical elements of tabletop rpg's. So I was wondering if there were any games that would make "good starting points" forgetting into the medium.
From what I've heard of it, Exalted always caught my eye. Sounds like Bayonetta as an rpg.

Game Finder thread. Pathfinder and Shadowrun are pretty good starting points because they have character builders (PCGen and Chummer, respectively) that takes most of the guesswork out of it.
You'd want a GM/Group who're okay with new people (Which is about 90% of people desu).
Hey /tg/. So ive been a fan of warhammer 40k and to a lesser extent warhammer fantasy for quite a while now, and im interested in getting into tabletop.
As a complete noob and someone who has never played any tabletop game (other than chess, heh) what should i know, focus on, avoid, etc?
Thanks.

>what should i know
1. Games are easy.
2. People are difficult.
Your decisions should be based on who you plan to play with/ against. If you just want to collect, nvm. Buy what you like. If it's to play with friends, talk to them. If it's to play in tournaments, avoid all models not in the two current top-tier lists and do whatever it takes to win at all costs.
Good luck.
dont be that guy who only cares about winning
Ok, I don't know how else to explain this other than one of my players is possibly the most passive aggressive and spineless person I've ever met. Unfortunately, this especially comes through in character. If you so much as hint that he should do something, he will act like it's 15 new commandments coming straight from yahweh's asshole. His character is pretty much controlled by the other party members, and what little independent thought he does have is the most stupidest shit I've ever seen. The thing that makes it the worst, is that after every session he comes to me and tells me that "That his characters never have a time to shine" or "Why doesn't the group listen me ?"
>Why don't you just talk to him OP ?
Well I did politely tell him that maybe he should stick up for himself more, and you know what he did ? He told me:
>"You think I'm just a coward don't you ?"
>"Well go fuck yourself ! "
And that's the first time anyone has ever seen him stand up against anything. Ever.
I'm honestly thinking about just kicking him from the group. I have no idea what to do with him.
Pic completely unrelated.
>>47158079
Wow, what a defensive answer from him.
>>47158140
I know right ? I was just giving him friendly advice and then he decided for once in life to be the biggest Dick possible.
>>47158079
>one of my players is possibly the most passive aggressive and spineless person I've ever met
Does he run crying to strangers on the internet whenever he has a problem with other people?
Because if not, I think I know someone even worse.
Hey Fa/tg/guys,
I'm looking to build a Waifu Tribal EDH. I also want to give it some sort of competitive edge. Recommend me some good cards that feature cute/beautiful females, or even just ones you like to use.
phage. sheoldred.
My original waifu deck was Elvish Ranger female art from Alliances set by Terese Nielson and Kjeldoran Royal Guard from Ice Age.
Purraj of Urborg is muh girl.
What is a system with fast and deadly combat?
>>47156873
It's called "Don't Roll a 1"
During combat every turn both sides roll a d6.
If you roll a 1 you die.
Savage Worlds
>>47156873
Shadowrun, honestly. Low health with high damaging weapons.
Please post all the vampire images you have, or anything vampire related.
I need some inspo badly, so basically /vampire/ thread.

Tell sleepy Tooth a story from your run, /tg/
>>47156244
Once I burned down a village of drow that were living on the outskirts of the underdark.
There were no survivors.
And much rejoicing.
>The smell of burning flesh and wood in the morning
>>47158158
Good story.
>>47156244
Well, in last night'sshadowrun, Our mage had to use a spirit's 'move' power on our getaway car, since the rigger was too cheep to buy gas.

>>47155295

>Goes great with almost all Aggro

After driving off pesky adventurers, striking a bargain with an elven archer, and having a nice lunch, a day has since passed. And you're ready to start anew, awakened and refreshed.
How will you start this day?
>Taking care of business. That archer is coming over today and you'll be damned if you don't think your heir needs to be whipped into shape.
>A balanced and nutritious breakfast. Even the most evil of beings need to start the day right.
>Rest and Relax. You need time to yourself after all, let the world pass on by and read a book or something.
>Other/Write In.Trying to start earlier see if that changes things.

Need character art of grizzled old fighters/warriors
>>47154717
Common courtesy is to post a few images to get the momentum going.
Not OP, but I would be interested in grizzled female warriors too, my folder is sorely lacking.
Will post what little I have
What does /tg/ think of Guild ball?
>>47154564
Probably the best small-scale game I've played, but fuck if I can find anyone to play it with.
>Mfw my night has 6 full pitches regularly

*Guild ball night
>A Lovers' quarrel is happening in your party
>Only you can solve it
How do you do it? Me is pic related.
>>47154363
Move on to another party.

Kill the guy I like the least.

Clone spells exist for a reason
Have you guys ever been to an airplane museum? One with aircraft from the first era of flight, where a plane was a rattling engine and some hollow canvas wings. I want to build a setting that captures that feeling of scooting across an vast, boundless sky with the wind in your face and only a propeller keeping you from falling an untold distance.
Anyway here is the rough outline.
> It starts with a low fantasy world
> 'Proper' wizards and non-humans exist, but you're unlikely to see them in your local pub
> suddenly, the 'Great Mistake' occurs
> the world is flooded by a colossal fog-bank, breathing the fog causes hallucinations followed closely by madness and death
> furthermore it is inhabited by an ecosystem hostile to all life, at the top of it's food chain lie colossal air Kraken, none of which has ever been killed by man
> the people of earth flee to the highlands, which remain untouched
> for a long, long while only those very few with Wyverns, Great Eagles and other such beasts can travel between settlements
> eventually colonies stabilize, and brilliant minds start devising their own means of flight
> those that emerge vary greatly by culture and people
> They range from almost weightless gliders, to colossal military airships, to strange contraptions kept aloft by tricks of science
> maybe one day these machines will become commonplace and reliable...
> but now is an age of Exploration and Discovery!
> New industries Rise and Fade
> Heroes emerge, only to Vanish into the Fog
> Locations unseen for Untold ages Await
> Men that will one day be Legends walk the Earth!
> But one must always beware the Horrors Bellow...
To Do
- Writing Settings/Lore
- Ideas for Systems/Homebrew
- Just drop ideas, don't be shy
- Suggest a better title
Try to capture the 'Magic of Flight'!OP likes planesThis is sorta a repost, Consider this the Actually Coherent Edition
>>47154104
Sounds fucking awesome to me, - If you want attention dump art for the setting.

Aforementioned Airship
He did literally nothing wrong.

He literally did nothing to begin with.

The Iron Cage was pretty much the definition of a fuck up.
