New Erfworld Comic Page Up.
Thoughts?

Horrible art, bad joke, but at least it isn't I'M SAAAD or WORDSWORDSWORDS, so I'll give it about 3/10
>>46999303
no one asked you to rate it stupid.
All this time between actual comic pages and what we get is a lame joke, wew. It's an okay story but it's hard to care about it when the main comic narrative is so broken up. How many pages do you think we'll get before they go back to text dumps?
At least I'm looking forward to seeing what the Tower can do. Mind melded spells seem like such hax it's strange that they don't get used very often.
good alternative to Dnd 5.E, i want to run a new campaign
>>46998381
What kind of campaign you wanting to run?
High fantasy? Low fantasy? Something completely different?
>>46998433
if you can give an example for each one, but preferible low fantasy that scales
>>46998443
Well, I'm probably not the best to askI've only actually played 3.5, PF, 5e and CP2020but I'll scroll through my harddrive and see what I can come up with.
I'll get the GURPS recommendation out of the way, although I'm sure someone else will. If you can sit down for a bit and select what rules you'll use it does anything, although I'm sure that if you get any more responses they'll say that.
Harnmaster is very low fantasy, but it does have rules for magic and...

I've never seen this kind of setting discussed. What would you want to see in fantasy 80s Miami? Think Dark Souls mixed with Hotline Miami
>>46997987
>neo-80s medieval fantasy
like Knightriders?
>>46998019
oh god, why do I learn about it now?
>>46997987
What exactly does "fantasy 80s Miami' mean? Like the aesthetic of Hotline Miami/Miami Vice type shit mixed with a medieval setting? Literal 80s Miami but w/ urban fantasy supernatural elements? A fantasy setting's equivalent of Miami in the 80s?
>Monopoly even on there

>Who the shit made this?
Yes, its shit.
Not only that but this
>>Hardest rules ever
should be
would you complain if the game was complex.
The thing is no one specifically want hard rules, people want something that on their opinion is a good gameplay, but some will prefer simpler games, even if that leads to worse gameplay
>>46998727
not only that but it has the choice
"chess is too cliche?"
in theory the picture would finds pecifically what I want to me, but there, the picture is wanting me to decide if I want some specific game or not
Give me awesome game ideas please
The king wants a cake.
Make one.
>>46997125
You're playing that MAID game. Your senpai is literally Hitler.
>>46997125
The players are all working as rent-a-cops in Shadowrun (or similar setting where players are usually guns for hire.) They are in a taskforce that was formed to stop a rampaging group of mercenaries who are doing a lot of property damage, leaving behind a huge trail of bodies and generally behaving like typical murderhobo players.
The GM makes a briefing by searching a sufficiently outrageous story about an RPG session and turning it into a police report.
What's with all the scifi settings that have what are basically just D&D elves but in space?
>>46997053
People like pointy ears.
Because sci-fi is (at least to some point) just fantasy with a different paint job
>>46997053
people are unoriginal
Have you ever felt that being GM has made you more attractive, or at the very least more confident?
your funny
>>46996892
It didn't make me more attractive or confident. It made me realize I was a leader, though... sort of. I was doing it for years before a girl in the group (who is currently married to another player) pointed out how things just didn't seem to happen without my presence or approval. Like, if we were planning to see a movie, I would be the one to pick the theater and time.
We're all older adults now (the group has been playing together since we were kids in 1986) so that's not hardly the case...

More confident, yes, but not really in general, just in similar types of social situations.
You guys have any interesting D&D greentext stories?
Yes.
Depends on the setting
I think we're done here.
/thread
Given the death of the previous thread here: >>46916178
I would like to take a moment and discuss some features I've been looking at implementing into the game, and others that I am tempted to remove. Of course, the features that would be implemented would be replaced with the newly implemented features. You can see them here:http://pastebin.com/1WgGqFCB
So, thoughts on this? Any gripes or comments that players would like to voice before we resume?
>>46996010
A suggestion make a inheritcance system or something similar to floors, while flawed it makes it so that returning players have some sort of benefit come back to the game with a fresh char.
Make customization of custom items and mabye the chance for custom abilities to suit a players play-style.
>>46996121
What about a sort of destiny/lineage system, similar to the Llama bank in floors? If someone has the tripcode for the items then they can use any recovered on character death.
Also, with how the mechanics behind recipes and new item level functions, characters would be able to target the weapon traits or skills directly and just wish to add something onto it. This could be done by adding any new variable to the mix, such as a monster part that contains flammable fluid, or a piece of equipment that is innately...

While that is a good idea and i appluad you for that, honestly i do not believe that the linieage system is a good idea mabye make it like a veteran system where the more your char lasts before death they may recieve bonuses such as possible starting items or a starting skill.
Another one would be to improve ranged combat, it seems honestly very dull at the moment compared to melee mabye enhance ranged combat or simply make it more rewarding to use it rather than simply attacking from a distance.
Such as mabye...

I know this is a bait thread, but ill bite.
The apples had gone sour. Sure they could have given us a fresh batch, but it would still be apples. Ive already had too many apples, and was looking for something different.
They handed me these oranges. These oranges are not to everyone's tastes, but they were oh so delicious to me, and others.At this point I hadnt realized how sour those apples were when I tasted one just for old time's sake. Fuck the apples. I'm all about the oranges, now...

Assuming that they are clad in the same clothing/armour/whatever-suits-your-heretical-fancy, and are equipped with generic weaponry, would a Howling Banshee look and/or fight no differently from a Wych?
>>46994925
Banshee's fight to kill, so it would be as fast and efficient as possible. Wych's fight for the entertainment of a crowd, so they'd probably play with their enemy for a bit, and also throw in some unnecessary acrobatics and maybe some sexualised stretching and bending over.
In addition, the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight, while Wych's would be laughing, giggling, and mocking their enemy for whole time.
Lastly, because Banshees are used to wearing armour,...

>In addition, the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight
I imagine they'd be saying RRRRAAAAAAAAAAH or REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE a suitable amount.
>>46994997
>the Banshee's pretty much would say nothing during the entire fight
Assuming they are in their war persona - which they'd have to be to count for this scenario - they would be fully in character, emulating the Crone's banshees. And those things aren't the quiet types.
>But no Banshee mask
They lose the weaponized scream, but they'll be screaming nonetheless.
So tg, tell me about chain weapons, when then rev do the go VROOOOM or BRRBBRBRBRBRRBR or RIMNIMNIMNIMNIM. and how do the motors not get clogged with flesh?
You wrote it like a shitpost, but it's still a legit question.
>>46994895
well? what noise dose the engine make and how dose it keep running? and what the fuck powers it.
>>46994822
My group went with the idea that some are promethium based and sound like chainsaws while others have an electric motor and merely whirr like a hedge trimmer on steroids.
And the motors don't get clogged with flesh and other assorted material because the design is highly advanced. Like honestly, the design is thousands of years ahead of what we have on Earth. That's the thing with the Imperium in WH40k, they have some really advanced tech which they can produce and it's almost mundane for them...

Hey /tg/ what are some of your favorite sites to buy miniatures from? Any genre any scale, I'm also looking for any sculptors that produce anything similar to this red guy in the pic.

so say no? you said no, right?

Playing with strangers is a good way to git gud and not subject your friends to rookie DM mistakes.
Just don't let the inevitable alpha nerd push you around with his rules lawyering.
