Why does wilderness travel suck so much in DND?
It's so god damn dull. It's my only complaint about the system. It just comes across as filler as the players try to get from set piece to set piece.
This is a fault with the GM rather than the system.
Sounds like your DM is shit.

I'm the GM though...
3 days from now, Eye of Ugin will be banned in modern.
What do you guys think is coming off the list?

Eye of Ugin RIP

So, what are /tg/'s preferred fantasy/sci-fi series or books and why?
>Last read
Assassin's Apprentice--Robin Hobb
>Currently reading
Royal Assassin---Robin Hobb
Bridge of Birds---Barry Hughart
>Plan on reading next
The next Farseer book because god damn this is a great series
Thinking on getting back into the Prince of Nothing series
>>46395747
Would you care to explain what's so great about The Farseer Trilogy? I got through the first two books and can't be bothered to read the third, because I found them to be the most boring, tedious and frustrating books I've ever read.
>>46395853
I enjoy its character-driven focus rather than an emphasis on world-building as you find in some other series. Hobb's world is relatively "vanilla" and "classic", but it's well-executed and serves to facilitate the plot.
Fitz is a fairly well realized protagonist, as are those who surround him---Verity, Burrich, and Chade of course being the standouts. I'm about halfway through Royal Assassins and loving it.
They're also pretty well written; of course, far from...

In 2000s world gets acces to a magical land with result that some people start developing superpowers.
Obviously Murka sends an exploration team to get all their resources. Kebabistan proclaims that unlawful and starts hunting down fantasy!x-men and Japs finally live out their dream of having toku heroes protecting the tokyo from magical monsters.

So, I've decided to buy & build a Baronial Court of three Imperial Knights (size of 3 so that it may serve as either a Household or Oathsworn formation).
What should I pick?
>crusader w/b-cannon
>paladin
>errant
Who should I choose as allies, and which of these two forces should be the "primary" to which the other serves as an allied detachment?

Nigga what you need is a Warden, or two. Personally, I would just spam gatling cannons.
Crusaders are 'okay' but you're dumping a lot of points into a 6hp super.
>>46395529
pick 3 crusader and magnetize, then figure for yourself what is the best given your meta
>>46395529
Whenever I run just three knights I tend to field a Warden with stormspear as my Baron (BS5 is huge here) and two paladins with icarus autocannons.
Never fucking ever take the gauntlet, it's a trap.
Crusaders are also nice, but I prefer to have the terrible D to scare off enemies and carve open hard targets where needed. Errants really only come into their own as solo knights in support of another army or dedicated flankers/tankbusters in larger knight armies.
That said, a Baronial Court is neither...

Man, I just checked the catalog to see if there was any April Fool's Shenanigans
In the first session of an upcoming game of 5e, I plan on implementing a Kraken as a means of destroying a ship that a party of level 1 PCs are on. There is no forseeable way to defeat the Kraken, or avoid being knocked out during the destruction of the ship. It is possible to strike the Kracken, and even do damage with magic, but not to serious injure it or stop it from destroying the ship.
I plan on having all the players CHOOSE which two items from their inventory they will discard, and having any character who was actually able to strike the creature gain a small...

Splitting XP awards and making it possible for the party to fall out of sync in leveling is a pretty bad idea. Attempting to separate the party from their possessions will probably also lead to a lot of "but I had everything I own strapped to my person".
In general, however, this setup isn't bad in and of itself. Trying to escape an encounter can make an entertaining encounter in and of itself as barrels fly down and the ship turns sideways. Just remember, the goal of any game is to keep...

We'll see you next week when you make a thread complaining how your players got themselves a TPK by trying to fight the kraken using absolutely no tactics beyond "wait for my turn and attack".
>>46395272
Have them do a dex save and if they fail then have them loose a piece or 2 of gear
Which faction in 40k is actually doing the will of the Emperor the most?
>>46394805
The Imperium.
It's not a perfect interpretation of His will, but they're still trying their damndest to carry out what He started. He'd probably be a little pissed about the Ecclessiarchy, but at the end of the day that's a pretty minor thing compared to the continuation of Humanity as a species and a unified government.
>>46394805
I guess the Adeptus Astartes since they still serve humanity and don't see him as a God, for the most part. It's definitely not the Imperium as a whole or the Adeptus Mechanicus since they believe in superstition and are religious zealots. There's no way that any xeno are following the emperors will.
>>46394805
Most of the Space Marine Chapters.
>>46394830
I'd say that Emps would be pissed off at both the Ecclesiarchy and the Almanathian Inquisitors for their status Quo mentality.
Tell me about your PCs' support teams, /tg/. Do you have hirelings/subordinates/loyal followers? Any of them do anything of note or be fun to describe?
I'm half asking because I'm a GM looking for ideas about how to handle this as the PCs' influence grows, and half asking because /tg/ is good for stories.
What system do you run OP? I have stories from 3.5 and Dark Heresy readily available, and a little Anima.
>>46394441
Current game is Pathfinder but I've run 3.5 before.
I have never been in a 40k game (it's not very popular with my friends) but stories always seem to be fun.
>>46394477
>I have never been in a 40k game (it's not very popular with my friends) but stories always seem to be fun.
I'll start with the Dark Heresy story then, since that's the one that's fresher in my mind. I haven't really played a long-term game of 3.5/Pathfinder in a few years so I'd have to sort things out of half-memory.
The party's six characters run by three people: I play a law-obsessed adept and blank guardsman, one of my housemates plays...

I have no idea what to do. Give us options because with as little information and non-existent details you're giving us, write-ins are NOT viable.

>>46394576Fair enough, my apologies. I'll see about giving a recap of the situation... I am fairly new to this, would you recommend I do similar in future posts, or would something else be better?
Yesterday you accidentally killed a guy who was trying to mug you. Since then things have only gone downhill. A strange brand appeared on the back of your left hand, you found that you not only really love to kill people but you're damn good at it, as evidenced by the two dead cops in your apartment,...

You are Tsukuda Ryouta. At the start of your story, you were a trainee at the Shin'o Academy. In a way, it all began in the Human World, when a Soul Burial practice turned into a live Hollow hunting exercise. You fared about as well as you could - following your training, you went for a blow to the back of the monster's head, and had you had enough proficiency at the time, the impromptu exercise would have been cleared; however, it was not.
In the end, you were saved. A fellow trainee named Ryuu...

Miyu/Shiori route confirmed.
Hey /tg/, I need help thinking of as many famous shield-users and gun-users from the 19th century and earlier, whether they be mythological, historical or folklore.
I've already combed the wikipedia list of mythological artifacts for shields, now I'm looking for anyone else who has a famous incident of shield use in battle or who is particularly associated with shields.
As for gun users, I'm looking primarily for either women or people who aren't from the Wild West/American Civil War who used guns, or whose gun-associated stories are just ludicrously...

During Caesar battle wih Pompey at Dyrrhachium, a centurion under his command was rewarded for keeping his position during the enemy attack.
All soldiers were wounded, four centurions lost their eyes, a total of thirty thousand arrows were shot at the fort
Marcus Scaeva's scutum had two hundred and thirty projectiles stuck on it. He won 200.000 sesterces for this. Even his cohort won double pay for life for holding the line.
