The world burns. After millennia of warfare the human race has released the final solution to everything, complete and absolute extermination. Mankind in its ignorance developed robotics and only a mere decade after creating the first independent constructs the strife appeared. Inevitably one of the first uses that these automatons had was becoming soldiers and since they had free will the God of War Ares had gotten them under his protection and ward. Like any being under the watchful eye of Hares they ended developing a warring spirit that desired glory and freedom and soon...

Anon, why do you still play in the Forgotten Realms setting?Apologies to /pfg/, this was supposed to be a new thread.

>Anon, why do you still play in the Forgotten Realms setting?
I don't. Why should I?
Outside of convention games, I don't. Why would you assume that I do?
>>46691764
Because some locations are not fully fleshed out mary sue fests and it's really really not hard to go "drizzt's dead" or change any other aspect of flavor I don't like.
There's so much written on it I can fish the good from the bad and reflavor it as I need. Also I like some of the organizations.
If you are confronted with enemies that use acid attacks, turn their strength into a weakness by throwing this on them!

What is a good unforgiving game for a barely experienced group? I was thinking about pic related but I want recommendations
Story: I've been GMing for a goup of friends of mine who had never played a TTRPG. Some hadn't even played a video game RPG. I decided to GM The One Ring, since everyone was a fan of the movies. And although the game can be unforgiving, I've really gone soft on them except on a few occasions, so they're not used to their precious PCs dying horrible deaths. I want to blood them, but I also want to make it an interesting game. I...

Haven't played 2nd ed. but Dark Heresy 1st Ed. did this really well. Even the basic mission in the back of the book could easily lead to TPK if the GM is playing everything by-the-rules. I've never played Only War, but considering that you're playing as an Imperial Guardman in that one I'd imagine it probably has a high mortality rate as well.
The biggest problem you'd be facing with these systems would be less the system themselves and more the setting. 40k can be difficult for newcomers to wrap their heads around and is nearly impossible to...

You're Brin Wabien, a person with innate talent to read sigils without much hassle. Sigils powerful bit of technology left by race long lost to time. However, you really regret having that inborn skill right about now, considering what can happen to you.
After Miss Helia showed why she is wearing the eye-patch over her eye, you nearly vomited, and thankfully this time, it isn't just you who has a problem with stomaching this kind of stuff. You believe that everyone nearly retched to some degree. Of course this killed all of your mood to socialize, so for now,...

No, you can't carry three assault rifles along with that sniper rifle and the backpack with a 5-man tent and sprint for an hour.
Does anyone actually like Nissa?
Why do they keep pushing her in the lore?
>>46688447
Because they killed their other slightly interesting monogreen walker for some cheap drama. Nissa is all they have left.
I assume someone likes her.

“What do we do with him?” Howa asks, her voice drawing you out of your thoughts, “No, never mind that now, what do we even call him? It doesn't feel right, somehow, to keep calling him Saku.”
Does it really matter, you ask, what you call him? You're more interested in Howa's first point – what should be done with him?
“You could talk to him, I suppose,” Howa shrugs lightly, “Although I wonder how talkative he might be. We tried asking him a few basic questions – his name, how long he's been here, that kind of thing – but he refused to answer them. Refused to talk to me at all, in fact. You might have better luck with him, though.”
You might indeed. Thanks to the magic you took from Vulathoon, he won't need to talk – you can rip the memories right out of his mind.
“That... could work,” a note of reluctance creeps into Howa's voice, as if the idea of plundering his mind unnerves her, “I think. It's possible, however, that his mind isn't quite... like ours. There's a lot we don't know about him, or how that ring has changed him.”
But it might be the only way, you insist, and you can't pass up the chance to know for sure. If there are other cultists within the temple, you add, Saku might be able to give up their names.
“I wonder,” Howa taps a slender finger on the table, “Maybe we can use him as bait. If we wait, his allies might be forced into making a move. It's dangerous, though – keeping him here is a risk. Part of me wants to hand him over to the Emperor, just to get him out of here.”
You're not convinced he'd be any less dangerous in the Emperor's hands. The risk of escape is high enough as it is, and you're the ones who know what you're dealing with. Either way, you need to make a decision.
>I'm going to talk to him

What's up with some players loving the hell out of winning matches against kids?
There is a 11 year old who plays at my FLGS who says some odd things. Most memorable quote from him, "I remember back when I was 8; playing drinking vodka, fucking bitches, and playing Yui-Gi-Oh."
>>46687087
They're too awful to win games on an even footing so they prey on new players and people running on a budget. They usually end up winning most of these unfair games, so they throw a tantrum when they lose.
These people rank only slightly above those who trade shark kids on the terrible person spectrum.

Basically I want to see how the hive mind of /tg/ would face challnges that are currently presented in an official D&D module I'm reading. I'd like to make my BBEG not retarded. Thus, I'll make a very short quest.
We start of with our CM(Competent morherfucker) being a humaniod with about 15 years of adventuring experience under his(her?) belt. He is on the practical side of dealing with things and seen as "evil" by some rather retarded individuals. He has, in this generic D&D setting, asscumulated a significant amount of wealth and connections....

Well you posted a picture of a chick, so I guess she sends out feelers to determine the situation with The Shit. Like is it guarded?
>>46686786
OP here.
Am thinking of maybe using a chick as BBEG. My players are used only to sauron-type enemies. Anyway ...
Her spies figure out Dwarf has the Map to The Shit. It's still unclear where The Shit actually is ATM.
Dwarf, however, is not some bumbling idiot. He is a member of a large dwarven family who deal in underground research. Map could be stolen or Dwarf could be killed, but this could mean trouble. Not trouble our CM could not overcome, but trouble nevertheless.

Ass To Mouth?
Prognosticracy: Form of government where all decisions and laws are made based on incredibly powerful divination rituals (e.g. 3.5-style Contact Other Plane with take 10).
Those with administrative, legislative, and/or judicial power are invariably diviners of some stripe. Politics are based on interpretation of divinations and subversions thereof. Free will is optional.
What would it be like, /tg/?
Very fatalistic attitude in government. Rapid shift to belief that whatever they see is inevitable.
>>46685891
Short, bloody, and unpleasant for everyone involved. Divination is, by its nature, unreliable, subject to interpretation, and often contradictory, meaning that the actions of the government will appear as devoid of sense and reason. Laws will often change. Seemingly random edicts will be enforced at inopportune times. Rebellion will happen, admittedly most of it will be discovered and put down quickly, but the realm will be in a permanent state of violent flux.

Depends. COP is kinda clear-cut on yes/no and you can ask parity questions.
Bored to shit so I'll get on the latest quest train, with a twist. This is just House creation, nothing beyond that. The houses will then be available for other house-quest games to use I guess.
I'll track the roll results and vote outcomes but leave the hard work to other anonsand myself when there are enough posters to get away with samefaggotry.
Lets get cracking, we need a 3d6 for house location
Rolled 4, 2, 4 = 10 (3d6)

Here goes North of the Wall!
Rolled 4, 3, 2 = 9 (3d6)
>>46684991
>>46685150
Mountains of the Moon, that is to say the Vale of Arryn (unless our house population/influence/law rolls are shit in which case we're some kind of redeemed mountain clan)
Speaking of, time to roll for defense, 7d6+20 thanks to our location. It's onyl downhill from here though.
