Bumping thread and also asking for advice.
So I've been thinking about how ACKs is conceptually organized, and I've been thinking of emulating something similar but on a bit smaller of a scale and more focused towards adventuring.
So for instance, the new table goes;
>Missions (Doing dirty work for people for pay)
>Wilderness (exploring wild places, hexcrawls)
>Dungeons (Dangerous, but high treasures)
>Politics (You're still fighters and wizards, but dealing with larger scale political threats or challenges; like raiding a palace of an enemy king or working as elite forces in an army or something)
>Expeditions (Go off to unexplored lands off the continent, here there be monsters)
I've never liked the assumptions that when the PCs get super high level they would become Kings, why not just become even more crazy powerful adventurers?
Hey, what are some good books on the "thought" of old school games, besides the "Quick Primer for Old School Gaming?"
I need to get the wheels turning and get back in the groove of old school RPGs (which I haven't played in a decade and a half) so I can start designing a game that I want to run for some friends starting in a month or so.
How would magic be handled in real life? Would it even be legal to use it?
>>47037674
Depends on themagic.
>>47037687Lexomancer?
It would be treated like any other natural or scientific force because reasons, and only people with high IQs who go to magic college would know it.
Everyone else would go "Hey man I could learn magic if I wanted to" then go back to watching youtube videos of cats jumping in boxes.

I have a bunch of high-level builds that I want to play just for fun. Where do I find games where I can just do dungeon crawls without committing to a campaign?
>>47036591
AL groups do one shot expeditions. They are pretty fun all and all.
Ordered the set of books on weekend and going through the PDF versions in the mean while.
It's weird going from Player's Handbook to Dungeon Master's Guide. 3.5 had all of the books be pretty uniform in appearance, but here they dropped the "parchment styled" yellow pages when moving from one to next, and Monster Manual also has mostly regular, white pages with light texture. Not that I'm complaining, the yellow pages were kinda weird.
But what's the reason for the change? Did the styling get a bad reception?
Not even going to write anything here cause people are just gonna argue about the jund/infect match up

Sudden twist infect actually win an OP is still a faggot
>>47032577
Jund isn't gonna cast a removal spell on your combat phase unless they're in a bad spot or if they think they can overload your pump/protection spells with their removal, so have fun casting it postcombat.
Stat yourself, /tg/.

Is it worth playing? I don't like getting into TCGs and wasting money on boosters where there are a lot of other games where I don't have to chase rares.
>>47023035
The most expensive card you might want to use is getting rotated out in September. Most rares can be obtained for less than 5 dollars, and the rulers range from 3-15 typically but you only need one. In general packs are nice 3 bucks nets you 1 or 2 rares and the commons are playable. The game is cheap if you don't foil it out, and even then the most expensive card is a $1000 gold plated tournament prize. There are currently 8 sets in standard 5 of those will be rotated out in September, the Aria and Pricia trial...

You are a young human doctor, abducted by the K'tulu, and recently released by demand of the Galactic Senate. Earlier in the day you were ambushed by an unidentified enemy while heading into the ruins of Velik Leis, and are now standing over Abi as you try to evaluate her condition.

Staccato bursts of gunfire and scattered explosions echo into the conference room from the battlefield as you hover over Abigail's writhing form, lips set in a thin line as she struggles to suck in rasping breaths, frothy bubbles building up over the gunshot wound in her chest with every ragged breath. "How long has she been like this?" You ask urgently, eyeing the redhead's deviating trachea while you push one hand underneath her to sweep her back, your fingers quickly finding a shoddily applied...

Abi nods weakly, frightened tears welling up in the corners of her eyes before escaping and running down the sides of her deathly pale face as she tries to blink them away. It's clear that your friend's symptoms are indicating tension pneumothorax, and, as you spare the redhead one last look before digging into your medkit, it takes everything you have to maintain the clinical attitude you know you're going to need in order to do your job properly.
It also seems that, while Angelicia did...

God DAMN this shit pisses me off. My response to that is always "if you don't want players 'ruining' your precious story, go write a fucking novel."
When I GM, I fully expect the PCs to ruin everything I thought I had planned because that's part of the fun. I want the players to turn the mentioned-in-passing set piece into a major thing, mess with important NPCs in creatively fucked up ways, and...

Looks like CA finally got a brain and decided to make Chaos free. Here's the catch though, it's only free if you buy the game within the first week of release. Thoughts on this?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3EIkvHD7MU8
>>46983239
That's fantastic. The further they move away from preorder exclusivity, the better.
>>46983239
Personally I'm still wary. I tend to wait until at least a week to buy a game to see reviews about it and how many bugs were found.

So how the fuck does monarchical succession work? Just noticed I don't know shit about this and it's going to become the main focus of my campaign soon.
>>47042483
It varies a little kingdom to kingsom, but the basic succession pattern is the king's first legitimate son, then the next son until you run out of those then it becomes the king's brother. Sometimes the king could declare one of his sons as the legitimate heir. If you want it to be lead by a queen, replace king for queen, son for daughter, and brother for sister for all of the above
>>47042483
It doesn't. That's where all of the drama is. Do whatever you want.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNgP6d9HraI
>>47042536
doesn't it then fall to like the eldest brother's first son, second son etc. so you get petty nobles claiming to be 37th in line to the crown because they're someone's second cousin twice removed?
So... I'm not sure how much longer is that barricade going to keep all those chaos space marines out of this mannor. How did this all even happen?!?!A bit busy with work today, mostly won't be there the first thread hours, and when I am there it will be sporadical until later on.

When it comes to eroticism in your games do you prefer a more freeform route or do you like to crack out books on the subject?
Do you just give it a passing glance or do you go all out with it, introducing magics that impact sex and all?
And at what point do you feel that a game goes from adventures where sex comes up to full on ERP?
For my group I tend to freeform it all, though I do write up the occasional magical good if it fits the situation or circumstance.

>Though after having had to kick out a problem player
Well, looks like it's story time.
>>47040153
I typically just freeform it, if I need to bust out a magical item or anything like that, I just make something up that would logically fit in to the situation, or something that could be used later. My players are pretty good about things like that though so I don't worry about it much. Only two really weird sexual things that happened are this one time they killed a troll with its own penis and another time when a character didn't make a save on resurrection and came back to life as a sexual deviant....

Why do you persist with these threads?
It's the same dumb shit every time, and you can hold these conversations in /d/ where you don't embarass yourself.
Is it true that you can get banned simply for someone telling the organizers that you "make them feel uncomfortable" on a MTG tournament, /tg/? I heard on a podcast that this is becoming a tactic - when your opponent is clearly better than you, you can say that and they get banned and you win. (depending on the gender of course)
Have there actually been cases like this or am I being rused?
This sounds like a strawman argument. "I only got banned because of the PC SJW conspiracy" etc.
The judge is allowed some measure of discretion here. It does happen, but not every time.
>>47039571
If I pull that off, will you get banned?

Tell me about your dudes /tg/. What's their background? What have they done? Do they have anything special about their model to make them unique, and if so what?
Second for fortifying this thread
Most of the Tau Commander builds on the tg wiki seem to completely disregard that it has Bs5. are there any solid builds that I can make use of it's shooty shootyness?
