So a Dark Souls tabletop game officially endorsed by Namco is coming to kickstarter today. Already these two figurines have been revealed.
It is supposedly gonna have a huge focus on stamina management and will be very tough. I'm looking forward to hearing of the details on it soon.
Probably won't even play the game, but gimme some souls minis for sure
I'm expecting something like The Dark Eye - convoluted shit by people who think they like crunch but don't understand game design.

Oh hell yes. It'll be worth it just for the sweet minis alone. The biggie and smalls figurines already got me excited
What's your favorite edition of D&D and what makes it better than all the others?
>>46768982
Rules Encyclopedia.
All rules are optional and there are plenty if you feel like it.
>>46769003
Almost unquestionably the best (only?) 1-book solution to D&D. I can see why, from a business perspective, they stopped doing that.
5e is my favorite because it is simple enough to get my normie friends to sit down and play it
Otherwise they spend the entire session making character sheets
So how come most popular fantasy settings are rubbish and feel poorly thought out compared to Hyboria? I mean - Hyboria seems like a much more credible place. The cultures seems less like persistent stereotypes despite originally being created by a huge misanthrope and the mythology in the world actually seems like mythology to the people that live there.

Explain to me the appeal of this setting.
How do you justify swords in a setting where guns should, by all accounts, be superior?
There's plenty of settings, mostly weeb-based fantasy or sci-fi, where characters choose swords over guns, even though guns should by accounts be superior. Other than extremely OP characters, what would a legitimate excuse be?
Have you ever had a setting where you came up with a justifiable reason for this?
Barring discussion and yelling, post pictures of weapons or people with weapons, any weapon at all.
>>46767277
These threads never turn out well.
More on topic, you could justify choosing swords over guns in any fantasy setting just by making damaging magic only work at close range. There are plenty of other ways to justify swords over guns infantasy as well, and unsurprisingly they all have to do with a certain disregard for the laws of physics. Now enjoy the thread as it devolves into shitflinging by weeaboos who are butthurt that guns beat swords in real life, autistic screaming by 12 year old /k/omrade wannabe tryhards,...

This is by no means wholly fact-based and speculation that I can't remember the source of. But I've heard that in the future defense would be much more powerful than offense, so shooting someone in a powersuit does nothing. In that case using the strength of the power suit and a sword made of similar materials (idk man) you would actually be able to damage someone. Nukes and very powerful weapons are still a thing, but consider Iron Man for example, he may get blown away by rocket launchers and grenades but he is minimally damaged still.
A more logical answer...

Dune shields I guess?
Also could have a setting with gun control. Guns > Swords, and only the ruling class get them or something like that. Using/having one as a commoner may end up bringing too much trouble down on your head, but it is an option.
Irishfags, lend me knowledge of your relevant cities & historic sites. Y'know points of interest.
I'm running an urban fantasy game based on Celtic folklore. Premise is basically modern druids battling it out with evil druids & the fair folk. Half the game takes place in the Otherworld and the weird western islands, other half in modern Ireland.
Although we're a bunch of burgerfats I'd rather not have everyone drinking, jigging, being poor, and saying "begorrah" every 3 seconds like stereotypes.
Scotland's better. Do that.

There was a motorway in Co Clare that was delayed for years because of a fairy tree.
They eventually moved the motorway.

What were the precise circumstances that led to the industrial revolution?
And counter to that, how might society "progress" such that the industrial revolution would never occur? ie, what forces that seem like good ideas would actually cause stagnation?
I'd like to avoid answers like "they're too stupid and war prone to achieve the industrial revolution : see Africa" or "the environment doesn't allow for enough surplus : see Australia". I know this question is going to bring in the /pol/, but let's try and keep...

Magic, or some shit. Blame it on a wizard

Potatoes were introduced to Europe. That created food surpluses that let people start inventing and not starve to death.

How do I now justify the existence of monsters and demons?
Miscreations?
Old gods?
>>46757566
Gods aren't perfect, and make mistakes. The first couple of times they tried to make animals and humanity, they got monsters and demons, respectively. While they recognize their work was flawed, they cannot bring themselves to kill their own creations.

El neutralino god duder decides "shit niggah, that wouldn't work, throw some wrenches in there" and bam, it works better now.
Other gods still debate this.
Hey hightech lowlifes.
I have a last minute cyberpunk game (cyberpunk 2020) coming up, and I am short on any new street level hooks. Any suggestions?

"If you've got something to say, now's the time," you tell him calmly. Knowing you're going to regret it, you dig out your pipe and pack it. "It's just you and I, Hunting Talon."
"Where do you get off, necromancer?" the harpy hisses, through pained breaths. "You would have done the same to me."
You gesture at him with your unlit pipe. "It's funny to me that you think that," you note, before you light the bowl and take a puff....

Currently playing a roman philosopher/doctor in a sword and sandals hack of LotFP [spoilers]and a giovanni art dealer in VtM[/spoilers].
Working on getting Wolfpacks up to something I'd be willing to publish, and knocking together a couple of adventures for it: Spires Dreaming Beneath The Ice (dungeon crawl in a lost serpent-folk astrological observatory) and The Princess Clad In Amber (fountain-of-youth cult kidnaps children, creates foetus monsters).

>What are you playing?
I am DM:ing a game of Kult actually. It feels like I am having a break with only one game to DM a week, that will soon change though.

A new mega-dungeon. I am not quite sure whether to go monster, trap heavy or both on this one though...

I've been working on my sword and sandals hack for a while now. I'd be curious how yours has shaped up.
I'm actually kind of stalled on development, as I've wound up creating two mutually exclusive combat systems that I like, but that do entirely different things....
