So other than posting witch ass, is there a purpose to this thread?
I'm curious about this, what's your stance on this or what is your opinion? Are all your elves blond, delicate and white? Or are all your dwarfs ambiguously dark-skinned, bearded shortstacks? Are your orcs green-skinned not-natives or not-blacks?
I feel like diversity in human ethnicities is expected, but I rarely if ever see anyone approaching that topic. We could use the same basic idea for human variations on other races, right? For example, elves who live in arid deserts, have evolved to have darker skin, Dwarfs could be extremely light skinned for arctic...

Shadowrun can have multiethnic I suppose.
>>46968258
I meant more specifically for your typical fantasy setting, but I'm sure that Shadowrun allows for such things too. Not to familiar with the setting, but they're basically mutated humans, right?
>>46968225
It's good.
I guess the typical one is wood elf, high elf, dark elf but more standard D&D style settings will have at least some variation between different kinds of dwarf, halflings, gnome, and sometimes others.
Hey guys this is the continuation of our Building thread from last night.
The story so far : Thr'ull leads a tribe of bullywugs in the swamp. During their scavenging efforts they encountered a juvenile troll, while the beast was felled it claimed the life of a skilled hunter. As the scouts explored the outer reaches of the swamp they came back with reports of monstrous giants, the encounters left one about crippled. Thr'ull and the elder female were able to join in the covenants of both Tode, God of armaments, siege, and the forge; as well as Malu, Goddess of...

Hey, Anon. I think it would be best if you use a bullywug pic like this for OP. Makes it easier for other players to see it.
Thr'ull decided it would be wise to take only his most skilled warriors, moreover he could only arm so many of his tribe at once. He instructed three of the hunters to gather their spears and follow him, leaving two tribesmen to go and gather materials. He left the crippled sentry in charge of the females and set off to the south, his band of hunters hopping close behind. After a short while they happened upon the area that Thr'ull had discovered the tracks and lowered their pace as they crept forward. Soon the voices could be heard through the misty air accompanied...

Good point, although im not sure how to change the OP pic, if i even can, but i will remember to do so for next time.
>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

A dude on the OPP forum wrote a bunch of DB Charms for 3E, and is apparently planning to write a whole Charmset. Being interested in playing Dragon-Blooded but not comfortable enough with the 3E mechanics to completely trust my own judgement on whether these Charms are balanced or not, I'd be interested in hearing /exg/'s opinions.

I'm basically going to ask one of my favourite questions again, because since I originally asked it, there's been a bit more support for it officially:
Have you ever played/ran or wanted to run a non-standard WoD setting?
Dark Eras has dropped (check the Pastebin) opening up a whole host of historical settings with rules for archaic weapons and information about different time periods, and the Demon Storyteller's Guide provided hacks for different playstyles as well as three alternate settings, including ancient roleplay set in Biblical times and an...

I just dont like tryhards is that so wrong?
>>46960357
What is YOUR measure of a tryhard though?
>>46960364
its admittedly a very subjective term. I cant explain it but I know it when I see it.
DnD group has ended up with friend's obnoxious, attention seeking hamplanet girlfriend a la pic related.
Want to stay in this group which is otherwise good; any ideas on how to deal with this without being a dick?

Pavlovian conditioning using skittles.
If she does something good, give it a skittle.
Do not attempt to feed it something without sugar.
It may merely agitate it and cause it to stampede.
>>46934457
Deal with it.
Don't be a dick.
Simple.
>>46934609
Seconding.

Or we can try this because he saw it in the Big Bang Theory so it must work on nerds in real life, right?
Ever had one of your siblings joining you at the table?
Was it shit or was it fun?

My twin brother. He never really liked to play but he loved to draw the characters we came up with.
>Family always ragging me about playing RPGs
>Offer to run a capeshit game since comics were big in our house
My little brother was about 13, and he came up with the best damn original hero I've ever seen.
LIGHTNING BEE
Bee's powers include electrostatic jolts, an ability to sense electric current, flight, and slightly enhanced strength and reflexes.
In order to access his powers, he needs to feel *afraid*. Fight-or-flight doesn't cut it, he needs to be scared. The more...

Fucking terrible. 3 out of 4 characters he's made are some sort of Goku ripoff, or some other shonen archetype. He regularly tries to strongarm the rest of the party into doing what he wants, and any perceived slight against him by a PC is met with lethal force. He's a worse DM, though. He barely plays RPGs, and yet he still feels compelled to make his own terrible system, and railroads constantly.
What's the stupidest thing you've had a player during a campaign? During my last session I had the players invade a thri-kreen encampment and while they were planning out the details of it one of the players complained that their incredibly basic invasion plan was too detailed for how smart the characters were and added, this is a direct quote "How do we know the thri-kreen aren't going extinct on their own?"

My current group woke up a vampire assuming he could be convinced to join their crew.

Players find a stone chest. Beat around the bush when they actually want to open it. One finally opens it.
- "What's in it?"
- "Green Slime"
- "I stick my hand in it!" :D
- "Alright, you're gobbled up and are taking continuous damage, half of the damage it takes goes to you." (He played a wizard.)
He threw a temper tantrum, got saved and felt sorry for himself without thanking anyone else.
