What if Orks only pretend to be simple minded and disorganised while in reality they just wait for the right moment to steamroll the galaxy?
They are taking their time then...
Orks have existed for how long now? 50-60 thousand years? War in the heavens period. Much longer than humanity has. If that was their plan all along there must be some Ork who is still alive from that time to remember their plan, and that one Ork...
Dear Emperor, that Ork must be da biggest and da strongest to ever exist...
They would have done it already
What if the empire just pretends to be crumbling and inefficient while in reality they just wait for the right moment to steamroll the galaxy?
What kind of movies would elves make?
Incredibly long ones, think like, marathoning a season of a TV series.
Common themes would be about personal struggles that in the end, don't really change anything.
The Wire, would be an Elf Movie.

Probably art films which go to great lengths to portray subtle degrees of character and story, with plot after subplot layered one on top of the other. They consider 3 hours to be a bit on the short side.
That and the occasional chick-flick or comedy that focuses on the ineptitude of everyone surrounding the main character, but those are considered low-brow popcorn flics.And then there's their adult video scene. Humans fucking REVOLUTIONISED that area of entertainment...
Does /tg/ follow the encounter level rules and such for balanced fights with D&D?
Do you make up your own rules for balancing the fights?
Not all systems have rules for balancing encounters, do you try to balance all your fights or occasionally throw in fights the players should run from?
>>46588980
I dont balance encouters, my player encounter what they would encounter assuming the setting was real world and their pcs were an person inside the setting
If it's a filler fight, it'll be weak things that die trivially easily. Minions, 4E called them, but I've never actually played 4E.
If it's a deadly serious battle where the players are given full opportunity to die, I typically create an anti-party of X opponents roughly parallel to the strength of the party (which itself has X units).
If it's a serious battle, but one the players are expected to win but not easily, I scale a fight that would be a lethal battle for the players, then reduce all the numbers by a third. HP, damage output, etc.
If...

I try to at least know what the balance of my fights are. Sometimes it's okay for the players to flatten something, and sometimes the players should have to run away. But I usually want fights to be very close with the players working out winning.
For D&D 3.5, I played a campaign following the CR system to the letter but I wouldn't do it again. CR has so little accuracy that it's basically useless.
For D&D 4E, I mostly followed the CR system, though that has its warts too - my players were consistently punching above their weight, except...

Neat. Also, if this thread is around in about an hour, I'll see if I can do somevery badfluff writings.

Still any ideas for our holy symbol or Number?
So, I've been in the same tabletop group since forever. When I first joined, I was the youngest member out of a group of ten. But as the years drifted by, literally everyone has moved away, quit tabletop games, or fucking died and have been replaced by shitty kids who never stay in character, never roleplay, and always become murderhobos. It's the worst. I have hopped on the gamefinder threads and found games that under most circumstances, would consider awful and still had a better time DM'ing or playing with that group. Now before you say:
>Why the fuck haven't you left ?
Two reasons:
Reason 1: The first DM and the member who died, wanted us to keep the group together no matter what. It was pretty much his deathbed wish. I would bet a million dollars that the minute I left, that group would desove. Thats if we don't go by the Argos Paradox and the group is technically still the original.
Reason 2: The kids are having a great time and are enjoying the sessions far more then I do. Most of them are complete fucking losers and if this group devolved, they probably wouldn't have any friends left too. Also there is a vain hope that I can actually teach them to roleplay.
So what do I do /tg/ ? Should I just fucking leave ?
Pic semi-related.
>I've got a serious question /tg/
Well, for starters, are you sure we're the right people to ask?
>So what do I do /tg/ ? Should I just fucking leave ?
Yes. You're not obliged to some spastic losers and you've carried legacy of the dead man far enough. Sounds to me like it's time to move on.
>>46597056
Slowly show them the light, my friend. Hopefully, they'll learn to be better as they get older.
>>46597141
It's partly to vent, and also because I've been wrestling with the idea for a while and I couldn't bring myself to an answer.
Horus was a hero who died for his beliefs from the hands of a bloodthirsty tyrant.
The Emperor was a hero who died for his beliefs from(?) the hands of a bloodthirsty warlord.
>>46595706
Belief doesn't amount to certainty.
>>46595756
I've no idea what that means.
I'm trying to make a punishment game deck to use with other board/card games. The intent is for it to work well with a mixed group of people, so mundane, minorly annoying tasks.
Ex: Sing the Barney theme song, no one else may join you.
>>46591735
Talk like yoda, or talk saying "Master" at the beginning of each phrase
Play with the eyes bandaged, return the punishment to the one that trows it to you or transfer the punishment to other.

I want to run a pathfinder game with a snappy 5e "feel" to it. How do I achieve this?
If you want it to feel like a specific game system, just use that system.
>>46590512
Play 5E. If you must have Pathfinder's content, convert it.
>>46590512
Care to clue us in on why you don't just run 5e?
Let's go /tg/, let's do the Time Warp again.
Tell us about your games, your stories and your favorite characters.
Does anyone have a good download for Vampire in hand? I heard V20 was pretty good and i want to try it out.
Really? Nothing?
Not a single soul in /tg/ plays VTM?
Hum, that actually explains a lot.
I GM'd a game a couple of years ago, that guy ragequat because I refused to be impressed by his being "badass". Got me a couple of good ideas for later games, we'll see how it goes. We switched to SWD6.
I bought VtM for te first time when I was eleven or twelve. WW switched to nWoD pretty soon thereafter, I was buttdevastated for years. The book still has some pages that smell the same as fifteen years ago (holy fuck), and it has been a source of inspiration the entire time I've owned it. I've never played as much as I wanted to, and I think...

I'm thinking about running a freeform roleplay for my friends where they play as Imperial Guardsmen.
The only thing is they know literally nothing about the 40k universe other than the fact that the space marines exist essentially
I'm seeing this as an opportunity to really put them in the mindset of the average guardsman who would probably know jackshit about whatever he was fighting.
Do you have any tips on how I could make this better/what a guardsman might actually know?
>>46587161
Totally depends on the Guardsman, I advice you to start as guys in a newly formed regiment from a peacefull planet that either hasn't seen much war. If your players want to play characters that are not new to combat you can easily just let them roll former gangmembers (that way they only ever fought other non-heretic humans) or police-officers/bouncers/hunters. That way the charaacters of your player have no clue whats out there in the galaxy.
Before the battle have an Officer conduct a poor, vague and incorrect overview of the enemy they'll be fighting, then have it go to shit as the misinformed guardsman stand no hope against some 40k enemy.
As far as what a guardsman would know, to limit the amount of knowledge they would have make them the planetary defence of some backwater planet rather than from a famous regiment.
They'll have knowledge about their equipment and basic knowledge about the Emperor (Savior of humanity for some reason etc,).
As far as their knowledge about space marines...

Any time they go back to a plane I feel like everything is like a lame underpowered version of the original. Happened with Mirrodin, happened with Zendikar, happening again with Innistrad

Are you fucking serious?
Well? Who had the best reason to stick around?

Both of them, the ig as they would be taking over control of the planet long term; the br to sort out all the crazy shit and xenos plaguing the area.

What is in your opinion the most perfect casual board game ever?
Talking about the games you can pull out when with family or friends and that only takes minutes to learn and are massively replayable.
>>46591516
Carcassonne
7 Wonders
>>46591865
7 Wonders is great fun but you really need 5 or more people. 4 and less just feels like too few players. I also wish there were more wonders that didn't use the gimmicky expansion assets.
>>46591516
Love it. Absolutely love it. Perfect game for introducing friends/family/mole people/etc. to board games and still enjoy it with more experienced players.

Sadly this. An artistic map is a thing of beauty, but sadly you have to have actual talent to make one.

The Alpha, Mimic, Stalker, Brute and Puker have escaped their prison and made it to the surface. With the alpha leading the hordes of zombies in its wake, the zombies have arrived in a large and empty construction site. The employees who evacuated have long gone and they are surrounded by woodland. The night is bright with a cloudless sky, stars illuminating the road outside the construction site. There is a signpost with a sign pointing left saying “Halperin City” and 2 signs right saying “Ash Cabin” and “Brooksville”

It would be easier for everyone to pick a zombie, change their name to said zombie and play it there way. So I know who is who, had 5 guys the other night and they split up and shit and worked out good
