So back in the 80's there were competitive D&D tournaments
How does /tg/ feel about the mere idea of competing on D&D? Will you like to partake in one?
>>46203527
It sounds completely antithetical to what tabletop games strive to be.
Old-school D&D especially was loose with rules so you had to make stuff up on the fly and it is that improvisation that makes the game fun. Putting it in an organized, competitive setting kills that and makes the competitive aspect impossible because different GMs will have different levels of bullshit and outside the rules wackiness they will allow for. Since what you're referring to was typically just a dungeon delve then MAYBE, but at that point you should just buy a wargame and abandon the whole roleplaying aspect.
I'd dig some kind of convention dungeon crawl where whichever group gets the furthest wins some prize. Maybe something small, like a dice set each and a certificate.
Or maybe players swap in and out. There's a queue of players, once a character dies, you're out, and it's on to the next player.

Get a load of dis guy, who thinks he Knows What's Best better than the guys who wrote Dungeons and Dragons in the first place
Retreat posthaste to thine world of ponies, fair assnon.
>you will live to witness GW heralding the glorious return of the Emperor
It will be a good day.
>>46201975
I don't think that destroying the idea that the setting is in a fallen state, and that the golden age has past, will be a good day.
Look at AoS, and tell me that you want that kind of treatment for 40k.
>>46202080
Everything points to the Emps needing to return, though. Necrons are progressively becoming a larger threat. Chaosarmies are learning and finally conquered Cadia. Main Tyranid fleet is approaching. Orks are about to have a fuckmassive WAAGH.
Don't think a splintered and faltering Imperium can handle it without the Emps.
>>46201975
>GW heralds the return of Emps
>postpone his actual return with 30-something books and codexes
>give up and change focus to some obscure conflict in the 35th millenium
What is the attraction of evil?
Does being evil just provide oppurtunities for advancement not possible within normal society - allowing the lowborn to become great leaders, princesses and tenth sons to break outside of roles they're forced into? Does it give even the rabble and hordes of followers a chance to be their own men and make names for themselves?
Is it just a method of obtaining power for those who desire that above all else? Magical artifacts, world domination, ancient knowledge long lost that perhaps should have remained lost?
Or is it just something that's purely moral - the reasons behind it vary as much as anything else, with the only caveat being that the methods have to be immoral or downright sadistic.
>>46201785
Evil is a point of view, anon.
That said, people who are typically attracted to "evil" things are people whose desire for personal gain outweighs their empathy for other people. They don't care about others, so they do whatever the hell they want because they look out for Numero Uno alone.
>>46201924
>Evil is a point of view, anon.
moral relativism equates to moral nihilism
>>46201971
Whatever, no one gives a shit.
Would your character commit genocide if it benefited his people?
genocide wasn't really cared about at all before decadence + jews crying about it, it's just a basic feature in amoral evolutionary human group ethnic/racial behaviour
Of course, anything to ensure the survival and prosperity of his people.
>>46201644
Yeah. I mean, one is his own person, right?
Let's see some possible scenarios of the last minute of the EoM. Suppose that the Emperor emits the last message trough the Warp,a big scream that goes across the galaxy and trough every human mind. There is no place for double meaning. All scenarios post-scream are open (starchild,blabla)
What says the message?
Considering you haven't put a character limit on this message...
Smart choice would probably be something reaffirming that the emperor encourages scientific advance in the imperium, and legalizing artificial intelligence again.
Emperor doesn't even need to come back as a star child etc if that message gets across. They would have near enough the manpower of the tyrannids/orks and the technology of the Eldar and Tau
>>46201649
>Legalizing artificial intelligence while Chaos is at the height of its power
This is literally the worst thing you can do next to dabbling in unrestrained Warptech in the 41st Millennium.
>>46201649
It's true there is no character limit, but let's try to make messages of "1 minute" more or less. We don't want bibles and the Emperor doesn't have time/energy for more.
Have you thanked your GM lately?
>>46201499
i thank him by not being a retard during games
>>46201525
Your GM appreciates this more than anything except maybe the last slice of pizza.

Everyday I don't snap and shout at my players is like a pat on my back from myself.

We talk about writing Mars centric settings, but Venus never gets any love despite having:
-A point in the atmosphere where pressure and temperature end up being perfectly fine for humans if a little toasty (around 30-40C)
-Plenty of free energy with the clouds being able to reflect the abundant sunlight available due to Venus being closer to the sun on top of all that trapped heat down below
-Lots of water in the sulfuric acid cloud layer.
-A thick carbon dioxide atmosphere which turns breathable air into a lifting gas
The breathable air being a lifting gas can make for some zany shit that's able to float just because there's humans living in it. Even the Empire State Building can happily float on the atmosphere with a 400 meter radius envelope of air. With oxygen/nitrogen already being a lifting gas that would make hydrogen/helium tanks even MORE effective on Venus than on Earth. You could have entire floating castles.
On top of that the speed of sound in carbon dioxide is super low so you're going to be using slower planes on Venus than you would on Earth to avoid sonic booms everywhere. That means all planes would go slow enough for dogfights, and potentially propeller based planes being common.
The biggest fight over resources for Venus would be over raw materials as even the highest point on the surface still rains molten lead instead of snow. Mining operations would be difficult to say the least, but not impossible. NASA already has schematics for a rover that could explore the surface of Venus and says that the task would be doable even with current technology.

I'm intrigued Niven, tell me more.

Travel time between Earth and Venus is half the travel time between Earth and Mars.
Due to orbital mechanics being weird it actually takes a lot less time to reach the asteroid belt from Venus than it does to reach it from Mars. (citation included)

Radiation on Venus will be more or less the same as radiation on the Earth.
Gravity on Venus is 0.9g so it's fairly similar to what you get on Earth.
Venus spins backwards so the sun rises in the west and sets in the east. However you'll never see it happen waiting around because the planet spins so damn slow a single day lasts for an entire Earth year. On the plus side if you're a vampire who hates the sun you'll get an entire year to hang out on the dark side of Venus.
Venus has kind of a shitty magnetic field.
You're a Cave Hydra, big and mighty. However, your size and mightiness is yet again questioned by something clearly not natural.
Before you stands a massive rocky being. It radiates nothing that would make it alive, it's as if the rocks were forced to move. It's disproportioned arms turn into pinching claws, resting on the floor and supporting the massive torso from toppling over. And to top it all off, long chains rattle about on its back, idly wrapping themselves around air as if waiting to be commanded.
On this abstract thing sits an orc, holding an U shape ending stick that's twice as long as him, he supports the other end with the thing's back. His muscles are tightened by black straps of leather and bulge out because of it, and his eyes look nothing what you could consider to be normal. They're deranged, staring at you not like you were a piece of meal, but a mere object.
The cages still rattle from the over-aggressive malnourished carnivores, itching for a fight to happen. It would appear that this place where your kindred souls are tortured and kept in cages way too small for them will be your battlefield.

Wait. Do you start off as a different monster every thread?
>>46200333
Nope. First thread was to decide who you play as. Cave Hydra was chosen back then.

Just maybe but then again I vaguely remember some company spreading fake dismembered limbs around towns in promotion for a game

I don't get it.
How do you fight the system, /tg/?
By being the system.
The only winning move is not to play.
>>46200064
Certainly not by talking about it on the interwebs.
I'm interested in opening up a shop. There is nothing around my town within a 4 hour drive, but quite a few magic players. At the very least, I'm interested in selling online if brick and mortar falls through. There's all kinds of guides and resources available for this if you're in the us, but is there anything available for Canadians? Any of you running your own shop? Obviously mtg is the main moving product, but we'd like to bring in warhammer and maybe some fantasy flight games to see if they generate any interest in the area

Want to know the fastest way to earn one million dollars? Invest 2 million in opening a game store.
Have you ever managed a store before? Do you have any kind of experience? Do you have any startup capital?
If the answer is no then please don't waste your life on this.
If you have to ask, you cant run a store
You're kinda hot and bothered.
Bryld is kinda hot and bothered.
It's like the sort of situation where you're in a tight space and you're carrying a crate or something, and someone else with another crate comes from the other side, and you see them coming, and you know you can't both pass at the same time and yet, for some reason, you will always meet at the tightest possible point where one of you will have to back up.
But when you do, so does the other, and then you take a step forward and so does the other, and you awkwardly dance and exchange embarrassed stares trying to out-read each other but constantly fail and you can't help it and it happens all the time.
This is pretty much what's been happening with Bryld, who's clinging to your arm, pushing her considerably-sized and soft breasts against your upper arm. She also sounds somewhere between the disappointed, the frustrated, the confused and some other feeling, though she's not completely inexcusable given her lack of experience.
Your other partners have been awkward at times but they were also more straightforward. She claims that her city girl friends weren't as shy as she is which means you just had the luck to get a very special case of indecisive virgin.
Well, not totally indecisive, it seems like she's made up her mind about doing something, but she's kind of shoving all the initiative and responsibility on you.
The sun is starting to set, you're sitting in the tall grass in the outskirts of New Royo, relatively close to the building Tahenohan has been making cheese in all day. You have dinner with you, plus some extra food for your next trip, which will bring you to Maner. It may be a while before you come back here.
The silence is a bit awkward but the situation itself is not unpleasant, and even Bryld seems quite relaxed after all.
>Take the initiative. And Bryld.
>Make 300% sure she's into this first.
>Delay, join Tahenohan for dinner.
>Delay, join Tahenohan for you know what.
>Other?

Rage thread?
Last night we went to a new LGS for some EDH: Holy shit why does MtG attract some of the worst social autism ever?
>Get there, two guys already there
>First guy is skinny whitey with a stutter playing casual slivers
>Second guy is tubby whitey playing Goodstuff grixis
>Everytime Sliversguy plays a card, Tubby goes "OH GAWD NOT SLIVERS HOLY SHIT DEAR LORD WHAT THE FUCK WHY SO BAD SOMEONE KILL THAT!" at the top of his lungs
> Slivers guy tries making conversation a few times "S-s-s-so how are you g-g-g-gu...." "YEAH HOW ARE YOU GUYS DOING WE GOT IT" tubby yells over him.
Poor kid had enough trouble finishing sentences but this tubby's deck had no real wincon, just card draw and counters: He spent every turn taking over people and yelling out cringeworthy things
I'd like to play a game where people dont spend 55 mins bullshitting with "memeing it up" and dont have anything better to do than be a dick.
So you prefer games where everyone is silent? Looks like you are another kind of autist
