Is this worth playing?
>>46819206
Yes.
>>46819868
Why?
>>46819940
The historical side of things is fascinating, it's a great World War II game.
The Lovecraftian / supernatural aspect isn't that great, though.
So why aren't angels summoned instead of demons?
I'm not well-versed in the astral plane of D&D and its ilk.
Because, generally? Angels have better shit to be doing than dealing with your nonsense.
Angels aren't here to buy your soul or to fool around with mortal bargains. If you summon an Angel, you better damn well have a holy cause for them to get down to that's worth their time, or they'll just give you the finger and fly off.
This is less true in various iterations of D&D, but it's the general principle which guides the assumption. Getting to hell is easy, selling your soul to a demon just confirms that. Getting to Heaven is actually difficult....

Angels make you earn their boons with hard work and personal sacrifice.
Demons give you power ahead of time for future favors and the sacrifice of others.
The risk is higher, but the reward is more tangible and easier to get ahold of, since the Demon doesn't actually care about your longevity or actually making you a better person. If you get the right one, they might just give you the dark powers for the luls and to se ehow you fuck it up.

I could imagine the waiting time before a BBEG. Everyone is on edge as fuck because they need that one ringer on their team.

Hello /tg/. For nearly three years now I have been working on developing a game that I hope to someday market. For now, it's just me and my friends who play it, with me as DM. I have worked hard on it, and I love talking about it and sharing it with other people. However, there is still probably some room for improvement, so if any of you want to discuss it with me and make suggestions, please feel free to do so.

Waking up is difficult in the morning, but it is all the more so today. With annoyance, you turn off the alarm: it’s 6:30 in the morning.
‘Looks like it is THAT day, eh?’, you think, half-cynically half-resignedly. A day that will stain the rest of your existence. The anniversary of the death of your mother.
You take your time to climb down the stairs, and once you’re at the bottom, you notice no one else is there.

“Come on pussycat, today’s not the day”, you say, trying to persuade him.
But it’s a cat. He doesn’t understand you, or at least seems not to understand you.
“Can I just ride my bike?” Nothing.
You try to move an hand towards it, and it hisses dangerously.

MYSTERY BOX, GO.
Are magical weapons tacky? How stingy or generous are you with them on average?
>>46816934
I had a GM once let players make weapons as powerful as they wanted, as long as they could justify why it was powerful. It was part of a (relatively) historical Middle Ages RP.
Cue someone showing up with a 14 line soliloquy of why his sword was powerful. Highlights included:
-Used by the the Dioscuri in ancient times
-Contained wood from the true cross
-the bones of St. Julius
-thrice blessed in Rome
-never pierced innocent flesh
That ended up being a pretty neat RP.
>>46816934
in my setting there is only two ways of making a stabby metal magical; Being a fucking mythical smith or Doing mythical shit.
Blades made under the first circumstance are rare, have taken a lifetime worth of work and the few wich were made are, in history, separated one from the other by hundreds of years. <ost of then as been passed from father to son(or until it got lost or stealed) ever since made, the ones which were lost ahve they on history and myth around it being very hard to know if it is even true....

In my setting, magical energy is everywhere, but in order to create magic items, it needs to be condensed beyond what man is capable of. The only way to get at magic that concentrated is to take it out of magical creatures. Cart your dead beasties back to the local enchanters' college to have them create magic weapons for you (each creature effectively being worth an amount of "enchantment credit") or sacrifice them at your god's altar and pray to have your gear blessed (same system, different fluff).

Our second case is yet to be finished, Things are looking good after using my neighbor's hound to sniff out more evidence, i haven't talked to Helldew's clients just yet.
Paper had done his work,I had to repay him somehow, i went to a grocery and bought some snacks for him and loads of Milk, I got about 850$ left. Not Bad. Skeletons, unlike most races, have few diseases/injuries. Soaking up in a bathtub full of milk usually does the job, it will take a few hours, yeah but our bones will feel like new.
Stay in Milk for too long...and we will have another story. It is the most preferred method for Skeletal suicides; Take a dip, chill and have every joint, hole in your body clogged up by newly formed bone, spooky, Isn't it? Though i...

Hello anon.
Last one went MIA, floated off into space, but since Spartans never die this thread won't either.
Two table top games from Spartan Games based on the halo series currently exist, Fleet Battles, a game along the lines of Battlefleet Gothic, and Ground Command, a 1/100 scale game with the ground forces of the UNSC and Covenant represented.
Does anyone know about how long shipping would take from Spartan games to Canada? I emailed them and they said it would be about three days, but it's been five and still no sign, is that normal?
Covie fleet line up from last thread

>>46816103
>tfw you don't give a shit and you just want to kill them because that's the easiest option
Easiest option? I had to trudge through miles of filthy swamp, scale down a buried ruin and then fight an army of mooks just to spend the last three hours trying to brute force the most retarded puzzle lock in human history. Fuck you...I'm killing something today.
This happened in my setting's history. They slaughtered and enslaved the goblins, after killing their creator and leader, and it took them over 200 years for someone to realise they were actually not inherently evil. Every race (except dwarves who didn't give a shit) felt a little embarrassed for a while, and gave them a chunk of land to start their own civilization. They still act like slaves.
>it's a "the monsters that have been attacking you are actually good and you should feel bad for fighting them" campaign
I think that's more cliched at this point than orcs or whatever just being irredeemably evil.
A question about alignments. Would a God who wants to eat everything automatically evil?
>>46816036
Yes, no, maybe, can you repeat the question, depends on the setting.
>>46816036
Well, what's his reason to want to eat everything?
>>46816036
As long as he isn't gluttonous about it, then no.

How would one play a chaotic evil pacifist?
>>46815028
...lying, stealing, paying a hitman, and selling bodies to necromancers. I can think of more. The general principle is disregard for the law and others well being.
>>46815028
Oblivious to all the death, suffering and destruction they cause by promoting inaction. That's how they are in real life.
>>46815028
you can dislike physical violence and still be evil.
a character who doesn't fight, because they don't enjoy it. Somebody who pickpockets indiscriminately, frames people to take the punishment for their crimes, abuses people's trust, drugs and rapes people when they can get away with it, and generally wrecks lives because it amuses them and makes them a quick buck.
Not everything chaotic evil is a rampaging orc berzerker. Chaotic evil is selfish and spiteful, with no respect for rules or standards....

Hello, gentlemen...
I'm looking to create a secondary antagonist for my D&D 3.5 campaign who would be similar to Mad Pierrot. His involvement in the campaign would seem perifrial but would be nearly impossible to defeat should he be confronted. I need him to be freightening enough so that my players will always have him in the back of their mind, wondering if he's lurking somewhere. I intend to use this character as a means to lead the players into the greater part of my campaign, in which their only hope for truly defeating him lies.
Tl;dr, stat me.
>>46814725
Have you tried not playing 3.5?

>impossible to defeat should he be confronted
The fuck do you need stats for then, fool? Why are you even running a campaign with this kinda shit? Just write a book, nigga.

Stats: You lose
I need ideas!
A while ago I ran a oneshot for my group, with an ending that made it possible for it to evolve into some wort of campaign. The basic premise was that they were allmore or lessordinary joes with debts to The Mafia. The head of the organization brings them all in, tells them to dispose of the contents of a box they're given and then they can talk about writing off the debts. (The box had enough of a fictive drug to count as a WMD).
They succeeded, and it's then revealed to them that this was more or less a test for them, since the Boss is...

Gods that comic sucked.
>>46814665
An antique dealer under the protection of the mafia has absconded with some pricey ancient artifact. Other groups (occult, but the PC's don't know that) are also looking for the guy.
When the PC's finally get the artifact touching it will count towards them ascending, which was the plan all along.
Another one is the PC's are asked to guard an old kind ladies house for a few days, under the guise that an inter-mafia war has come up and one of the bosses needs his old grandmother...

Thanks, those are some good ideas!
I think that the PCs' role in the ascension thing is to be sacrifices, but not until some requirements are met (it has already been hinted that there was a similar group before them, although the PCs don't know that they have already been sacrificed). I like the thing about having them touch an ancient artifact having to do with the ascension.
Why won't GW make a mobile game using table top 40k as a basis and selling units/ upgrades/ cosmetics for real dollery doos?
Something like you get a free HQ and 3 basic troop choices and them have to buy units from there.
Could learn to play from your toilet against humans or AI, and they could print money with a minimal investment on their part.
Also, i think it would expand their audience and help drive sales of miniatures .
Because that would require competent business leadership.
>>46814644
>Why won't GW make a mobile game using table top 40k as a basis
There is a mobile game already based of 40k.
But they ll never transfer the same tabletop ruleset for a VG, too scared of the competition that would arise.
>>46814834
That's not on android :(
There's several 40k mobile games, it just seems like a straight TT port would be the best thing.
I used to play star wars force collection and spent thousands on Line buying digital cards. I know people that spend hundreds a week on mobile games.
The market is there. I'm going to write my congressman about this.
