This one time he got drunk and fucked a fox because he thought it was a kitsune.
He wasn't wrong.

Happy go lucky samurai who has everything go his wayI only do grimdark shit, sorry dude
Would 3.PF spellcasting be fixable by making spells cost XP to cast? Maybe 10 XP per spell level squared?
>>46364458
Too confusing; you'd run the risk of encountering scenarios of having to "level down" during a fight which, as well as being tactically undesirable, is also a great way to bog down play into an unending quagmire: "sorry guys Jimmy has to recalculate his HP, alter his saves, change his skill points and work out how many spell slots he has now. Oh, looks like he might lose a feat too!".
I would suggest a way to make spells "harder" would be to get rid of anything like Eschew...

Just have casters get incredibly bad luck. I don't mean reduce their saves, I mean bad fucking luck.
Cast a lot of spells? Cool, you're now a glowing beacon to everything in the other planes. They'll use you as a doorway to get here and fuck shit up.
Just make people think twice about casting.

I'd ban the following:
All Conjuration (teleportation) spells
All Transmutation (polymorph) spells
All Cleric spells with a target of Personal (you)
All Summon Monster/Nature's Ally spells

So, a few weeks ago, I came to /tg/ with an idea, and asked for help:
To combine Shadowrun and Fate/Stay Night while keeping as close to canon as possible.
Here's what I have:
1. This is canon to Fate/Stay Night, where the Dawn of Magic in Shadowrun occurred after the Fifth Holy Grail War.
2. Studying Lore, the Corporations discovered the Heaven's Feel ritual, and the one wish you can gain, and decided to exploit that, and put it on live TV as a deadly sport.
3....

And crap. Due to internet issues, I may have posted this twice.
Ummm...
Sorry about that...
Anyway, Lore changes:
1. Rin, Shirou, and Sakura have all been bullshitted to be slightly older than they were in Fate/Stay Night, although 60-some odd years have passed.
2. Change to Shadowrun lore to fit more with T-M: Magic can be hereditary. There are several pure Mage bloodlines which held magic firm during the Fifth Age.
3. Due to the influence of the Matous, Tohsakas, and Einzberns, mages are not feared.
4. The Holy Grail War is public, televised, and sponsored by the Top Six Corporations in it. Lofwyr and Ryumyo prevent...

why the fuck do mages want publicity? the modern world has literally nothing to offer them that they can't get already, and can actively harm them via dilution of the mystery.
Does anyone still care about Force of Will? Seems like most of my local shops either stopped carrying it/sold off most things to eBay, or there's just no one playing it in general. It's kind of depressing since I really do enjoy this more than MTG after all those years spent on it.
Anyways, is the Green/Wind starter deck worth picking up for a second one of them? I have the Light deck with Arla and such, but I kind of wanted to pick up a secondary one and build from there. One more question as well, which booster box has the best chance of the most Knights of...

I'd say wait for stuff to rotate and then see what to buy

When is that, September or some such?
>>46364047
No idea, think so.
To what extent can the background of a Skitarii regiment vary? Has current lore stated that there a selection process similar to Astartes and their gene-seeds, or are they just hapless volunteers?
Looking to add some color to my new army. I wouldn't mind joining in on rolling for a homebrew unit either.
An isolated or radical Forge World could have some strange procedures. If you want something really outlandish just say they are Dark Mechanicus.
If I read the fluff bit right they are drafted from within the Mechanicus serfs and 'gifted' with implants that cause euphoria when they follow orders though it wouldn't surprise me in the least to learn that some forge worlds use clones/mind controlled prisoners for the rank and file.
But hey, this is 40k. The galaxy is a big place if you can think of it odds are it's happened at least once since Horus flipped Big E the middle finger.

>To what extent can the background of a Skitarii regiment vary?
Wildly.
I'm actually considering quitting gaming altogether because of these little bastards.
I've been gaming since middle school, and have done quite a few games in quite a few genres... The big ones being DnD, Vampire the Masquerade, The FFG Star Wars RPG, Warmachine/Hordes and 40k, with some dabbling in fantasy and X Wing.
And regardless of what type of dice, or what the system is, I'm always boned. I've always been boned. Everyone within a 4 city radius knows that MY dice rolls suck. I've stopped playing my Wargames, I quit going to the game...

You should really think about sacrificing an animal, maybe make dice out of the bones.
>>46360217
It'd bring my rent down if I killed a cat, but the fiancee isn't fond of the idea.
Since my predicament isn't likely to draw a lot of attention, lets add dice stories.
In the last DnD session I played in, I was asked by the first time DM to intentionally break a Gestalt character, to make up for the fact that we had 2 new players, and we only had a group of 3.
My Construct Incarnate Primordial Half Ogre was technically ECL 1, but was AC... 22? With 30 some hit points, and +8...

Dude, you never sacrifice cats to get good luck, shit, that's how you get bad luck in the first place.
Gotta be a cloven animal, like a goat or horse.
Have you tried playing an ORE based game? getting three 1s in a row would be a good roll, allow you to kneecap faster than lightning.
/tg/ I need stands for a campaign I'm running. Thanks in advance.
Spiders from Mars
Design: A pillar of spiders that make the shape of a classical alien
Power: Can make people belive that spiders or other bugs are crawling on or inside of their skin
[Eyes of the world]
Can see through the eyes of any person in a 20m radius and trade the vision of one person of another
Example: If you trade the person A vison with person B, person A will see what person B sees and viceversa, in case person B gets permanetly blind and the effects disperses person A will be the one permantly blind
LIFE ON MARS
Can trap someone in a hallucinatory world.

Curzefag, I know you're feeling inadequate over your shitty husbando, but the Lion doesn't care for floozy tramps like you. He belongs in the loving arms of his Dark Angels. Leave the Rock, and take your cooties with you. Go serenade Alpharius or something, you harlot without manhood.
First and foremost, I'm a newb. So please, bear with me for a bit.
I've been looking everywhere for the pdf pack of every released book, but haven't found it. I found a couple of packs in tors but they come missing one book or two.
Does anyone out there has the pdf's?
Amazingly enough, having the .pdf for the complete collection of Warhammer 3e is pretty stupid because the vast majority of your gaming information is going to be printed on cards, handouts, career sheets, party sheets, etc.
The books offer useful knowledge of course and great outlines, but without those cards and such they are incomplete games. The exception is the Player's Handbook, Creature Companion and DM's Guide hard back books.
Those give you everything you need to run the game without having cards, EXCEPT for the dice which are hard to come by...

>>46358638
For clarification I have the entire game collection.
That is over 90 careers, 200+ skills, 200+ spells, 200+ blessings, about 100 locations, 50+ items, 200+ tactics (excluding career specific tactic cards), 100+ standees, and silly amounts of tokens and stance meter add-on bits.
That isn't even getting into the massive amount of wound cards, the miscast cards, condition cards, rune magic cards, insanity cards, and disease cards (over 500 of those combined together)
You will be missing...

Sorry but I forgot to mention, I have the basic set that comes with the cards and dices. But since I'm not from US or EU(and that we are in a very bad shape economy-wise) I can't afford the books, otherwise I'd buy them all, I love warhammer.
What are some ways to make a dragon encounter more interesting, without resorting to gimmick-filled bullshit.
>>46356514
Start by giving us examples of "gimmick-filled bullshit".
>>46356567
I can't think of any examples. If I was creative about this I wouldn't have to ask /tg/.
>>46356594
Then we can't help you. There's always the risk than any suggestion we make would be dismissed by you as "gimmick-filled bullshit".
Is two-weapon fighting any good in 5e?
>>46355881
It is definitely passable. Especially if you buff up your modifier to DMG.
Is two-headed fighting any good in 5e?
Is two-handed weapon fighting any good in 5e?
/tg/ I wrote a session with a big plot point being around one character, session starts in two hours and he just called saying her he couldn't make it. What the fuck do I do?
5e, level 11 campaign, sorcerer, bard, fighter, paladin, artificer.
>>46355463

What's the next step?
>>46355557
switch to shadowrun or 40k

How do you play an evil character without the rest of the party going full retard at you?
You don't go full retard yourself.
Being evil doesn't necessarily mean burning down every orphanage you can find. It just means that you're doing things for your own benefit - which is almost what adventurers are doing anyway.
you got to be real subtle.
play devils advocate way too often, anybody calls you on it, shrug it off.
Evil is selfish and destructive, you know who else is selfish and destructive? the chaotic good players. buddy up with them and try to corrupt them.
>>46355438
Evil does not mean 'be a dick to everyone'. If you want to play an evil character in a good party, be a more subtle brand of evil - selfish deals, don't share loot, intimidating/persuading people to get what you want, questionable morality.
The issues arise when you're a chaotic evil murderhobo, random executions or blatant cruelty etc.
What do we call these?
I suggest basic-land-from-hand showland
:^)
Hand land
>>46355301
To do the job you need to show your hand.
So handjob lands seems the most logical name.
>>46355301
cucklands, because the cause only has his hand while the bull plows his wife
Hi, fa/tg/uys!
I gotta move to London from Sweden for reasons.
I need a part time job and I don't have much to go on but my hobbies and my license as a cinema projectionist.
Is GW like mcdonalds of game stores?
Is it hard to get a job there?
I collect but my painting is pretty bad. Is that a requirement?
I need to earn 600£ a month
Working with anything /tg/ would be neat though but I'm aiming low.
You should probably go for a job as a cinema projectionist then. It'll almost definitely pay better. What part of London, if you don't mind my asking?
>Swedecuck
You'll fit right in with the Games Workshop policy of ruining everything people like.
>>46353142
North London. High Barret?
I don't have it on hand exactly right now.
But I figured commuting is possible?
Are there a lot of cinemas in London?
In Stockholm there's basically one big chain and it's shit to work at.
