THE ONLY WAY TO KILL THIS THING IS TO STAT IT
>>46234826
NO!
>"If it has stats, then we can kill it!"
THAT is the powergamer's motto!
To stat the enemy is to begin to know the enemy!
If you know the enemy and you know yourself, then in one hundred battles you shall not lose a single one!

Tarble pants, his energy flickering out, he drops to his knees, exhausted from the vicious workout regimen you just put him through.
After his little display against his brother, he finally came to talk to you about trying to get stronger.
He's making... well, not the fastest progress in the world, but he's clawing every rise in his power to him, tooth and claw.
You set the gravity back...

I'm going to start running an Aquatic themed campaign in pathfinder for my group, the plan was to have it set on the back of a gaint space orca. I'm going to be dumping my set of mood pics,

Every major board has a sticky to help newfags learn the rules of the content of the board.
How's a scrub like me supposed to get rulebooks, recommended tabletops, learn about game lore and not roll a double zero like I'm doing now without a sticky thread that links to all this necessary startup info?
At this rate, I'll never know the difference between The Eye of the Beholder and a swamp ent!

Simpleton, swamp ents are a myth.
You may, however, be thinking of the oh-so-originally named bogyads.

Lurking helps. I spent months lurking before posting in a world building thread.
Lurk more.
/tg/ is such a diverse board that a sticky like that would be massive and need constant updating.
Just lurk more, OP.

I know, right? Like, I'd play the character as having been discovered and taken under the tutelage of a Pentacle Master pretty much right away, to keep them from getting into too much trouble (and control how much they learn so that they aren't actually released from their apprenticeship until they're close to 18 at least) but they'd still be pretty far from well adjusted - and therefore perfect PC material!
What went wrong?
A poorly written system that was built an a very specific concept. A massive power creep with no concept of balance. A grab bag of random bullshit packaged as a "setting".

Small-points games are only balanced if you can limit the kind of shit you can field. Lots of factions are stuck with shit and others can field Deathstar models snugly between mandatory Troops and HQ.

Myboyfrienddid the same. Just ask nicely, for him to knock that shit off.

still, even if i had planned for it there was literally nothing i could have done. I want to remain with Admech but they're so goddamned limited with their options.
Who the hell thought giving squishy, semi-elite units with medium ranged guns no transports was a good idea?
>Spartan Games is pleased to announce that the much anticipated Halo: Ground Command tabletop wargame, which is set in the hugely popular Halo Universe, will be shipping in Summer 2016.
>The first iteration of the game is set in the year is 2552, with humanity forced to the brink of extinction by the fanatical alliance of alien races known as the Covenant. These human forces have fallen back to the fortress world of Reach, prepared to give their lives to protect Earth and buy time for a desperate gambit that could change the outcome of the entire war. This last bastion of humanity will see countless bloody engagements take place, and you will now be able to command these ground forces in titanic conflicts.

>Investigate
As far as ideas went, investigating the hulk on the horizon seemed like a good idea. The catch was both getting there.
“Sir, we’re losing oil pressure!” one of the “engineers” told you, gazing down at the control panel like it was going to try and kill him.
“Fix it!” you roared down to the now-open air engine compartment. They just banged wrenches faster. Sighing, you leaned back on the bulkhead rail and rubbed your hair. This was not going well. As the engines caught and died in a black cloud, you snarled.

It was maybe four nautical miles to the ship, silhouetted against the horizon. While you were not a professional seaman, you were smart enough to know that it should not take the better part of two days to sail somewhere you could freaking walk to if you weren’t on water.
Oh well. When you finally got close enough, you grinned slyly. It was a motor yacht, about ten feet longer than your current joke-boat. More importantly, you could feel it calling to you.
“Take me” the sultry craft said, smiling. “Make me yours… Captain.”

It's a 45-footer, so it's not huge. However, you're not exactly planning on giving the no-skill plebs decent quarters anyway, the mouth-breathing food eaters.

THIS! SENTENCE! IS! FALSE!
I've asked this question a couple times in the past, and gotten some good answers, but I'm still dissatisfied with the general attitude that /tg/ has on the subject.
Clearly, freeform is different from most systems, in that there is a large degree of self-moderation involved. You are not limited by dice, or classes, or stats for the most part, and this can lead to abuse if the people with whom you are playing are not of the highest caliber. At the same time, these same factors provide for unparalleled freedom and flexibility that is simply unattainable in other...

The issue with that is that someone could feel like their story is much more important than that of another and push it into everything.
>>46229630
I agree that this is certainly an issue. I suppose that it is the duty of the GM to enforce reality upon the expectations of the player. Having different aspirations isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if you're reducing another player's enjoyment of the game, something is wrong.
This certainly occurs in other systems, but it is mitigated by the limitations of the rules enforced by the system. That being said, powergamers and mary-sues still exist outside of freeform. Perhaps the answer is for...

Good for you.
>I posit that freeform is the purest form of gaming
Objectively wrong - freeform is not gaming. Games have rules. Freeform is role playing but it is not a role playing game.
/tg/ used to be way more hostile to freeform, but that's slowly dwindled as /tg/ has accumulated quest fags and other layabouts who don't actually play or care about tabletop games.
