Not much. I mean, its not like most D&D settings did a good job of factoring the existence of the ability to detect alignments or resurrect the dead before.
How can outsiders have an impulse to do something when they don't know what it is and have no inherent sense of it? What if some diplomancer convinced all the demons that the color they thought was evil was actually good and the color they thought was good was actually evil?
>>46981386
The impulse is literally something like, for a trumpet archon, "I must do law and good."
If the trumpet archon makes a sincere effort to try to "do law and good," then the itch is scratched. However, they have no way of knowing whether their action was truly lawful and/or good.
An outsider's first days (or even weeks, months, or years) are awkward, to say the least, but they spend most of that time in the Outer Planes amongst other outsiders of their kind.
Hey /tg/ got any advice for a new dm? I'm thinking of running a 5ed or Pathfinder game but honestly too afraid I'll make the game unbearable for the players. Any asvice would be appreciated
>>46980904
Go with 5e and start with the starter set rules and adventure. There's plenty of DM advice in there and your players won't be overwhelmed.
>>46980904
Don't use Pathfinder. It's got a number of baked-in rules problems that 5e doesn't have.
Cool! Thank you guys so much :)
Any you fa/tg/uys played diaspora? Enjoy yourself? End up hating it?
>>46977412
No, but I've always wanted to play it.
>>46977412
Yes I have but only for 3 sessions as the guy running found the amount of knack/fate/fudge descriptor things that give you bonuses overwhelming.
I enjoyed what he ran, I particularly love the collaborative building of the sector of space at the start, I thought that was probably one of the most wonderful things I've ever seen in terms of the whole group creating the game world, A+.
I personally enjoy the Fate/Fudge mechanics but nobody else in my group does so I never get to play it or any other...

Some people get along with Fate, others don't.
Beyond that, Diaspora has THE best space ship combat you'll find.
The setting is pretty cool. Hardish SF.
Didn't see one, made one
Looking for the new Traveller book, $30 is ridiculous.

I'm looking for the PDF of a system called Legend of the Elements. It's in a weird state where the author is getting it published, and he took down the PDF's from his site. Also, the Kickstarter is over so I can't just fund it and get the PDF. Help is appreciated!
If anyone happens to have the Atlas of Rokugan, that'd be fantastic.
It was sold in physical form and then the company sold the entire Legend of the Five Rings IP to FFG, so there's never going to be a legit PDF of it.
Is anybody excited for Savage Worlds Rifts?
What game-breaking thing would you fix in Rifts if YOU were in charge?
What books would YOU publish for Rifts?
I'm gonna be doing a 5e game where all the PCs are animals. Think Disney's Robin Hood or mouse-guard. Any thoughts? Have you run or played in a game like this? Pictures of animals are cool.
I was gonna give each race advantage on one skill : Monkeys - Climbing, Panthers - Sneak, Lions - Intimidate., ext.
Let's say you have a girlfriend that doesn't typically like /tg/stuff, but after messing around with your old cards for long enough she's now gotten into MtG, into the fluff, into the art, into deckbuilding, to the point where she now wants to try out the latest expansions.
Would you start taking her to the store, to FNMs, to drafts; or would you prefer magic to remain a thing that you two do during rainy days and lazy sundays?

>>46972616
Keep it just our thing. That way, we don't get too competitive with each other and stay in a sort of cozy childlike way with it
>>46972616
Keep it kitchen table. Unless your flgs is environment is exceptional (which you should know by now) you should just buy for personal use and drafts and invite close, not as shoe friends to play.

I'm painting up my Coletter crew.
Cassandra - red skirt and GREEN corset or red skirt and deep PURPLE courset?
I'm limiting my palette, because I don't like how random-selection many of the showgirl crews I've seen online look, but I'm just not sure which way to go on this one.
I think maybe a dark green might look better, but I'm also working with a pretty shit selection of colours, with GW Goblin Green as my only base green.
The purple would probably be roughly the...

red and purple famously don't look good together. but red and green are complementary colors. That's just super basic color theory, and there's exceptions to every rule, but if you're working with a limited pallet, it's generally best to go with what works
part way through painting Chompy, I might actually get my dreamer crew finished before I go to a tournament in july

Why must they do this to me.

Because you let them. You have the right to set constraints to what they can do if there are things uncomfortable for you.
I think you just want to suck your friend's dick, OP

old thread: >>47090628
I'm trying to convert a docx file from Word 2010 to PDF using the homebrew shit from the trove.
The thing is, when I convert it all the formatting gets messed up; page breaks get in weird places, etc.
I read a thing that said to set margins to 0" and change paper size to A4 across the whole document, then let it fix margins. But that didn't help at all, the formatting still looks completely different in the PDF than the original file.
Any of you homebrewfags in this thread willing to lend a hand?
You can choose to deal non lethal damage against any creature that is already at zero hitpoints. This common misunderstanding of the rules is why people don't think vampires are good.
Besides money, how would you buy the loyalty of a master assassin?

Hostess fruit pies.
Demons are the tribe that got left behind in MTG.
they usually have awful mechanics for a high casting cost, and little-to-no support.
thoughts?
I think it's wrong to think of them as a tribe, they are like black dragons,same as how sphinxes are for blue , or angels for white.
>>47089827
Or beasts for green.
Or elementals for green.
Or wurms for green.
Or hydras for green.I know every color gets elementals, but green's are normally bigger, and I wanted another creature type.
>>47089827
what I meant by tribe was race, sorry I got confuzzled.
the point I was trying to make was that it's hard to use a demon theme in a scrubby kitchen-table tier deck, much less outside that unless you can pop 5 black mana on turn three consistently. even if you can get the ridiculous mana it'd need, they're abilities are often lackluster for the cost.
I love the cards and I collect them for the dank art. especially innistrad and theros demons.
