Is it ever worth it to invest in social skills in RPGs?
>GMs who care little for social interactions will have you rarely make social rolls
>GMs who care plenty about social interactions balk at the concept of making social rolls frequently and prefer that you freeform social interactions, except for maybe a single social roll once every other session
Depends on the system
For PF or some other garbage, of course not. With WoD, then it is worth giving a shot.

Just yesterday my cleric had to channel negative energy on some peasants because she failed her intimidate check (only +2 on lvl 15). 40 people died. The townguards were not too happy
>>46173835
Oh but sense motive can br really useful even woth gms that value free-form social RP, especially since we play over roll20 without video there is no way to determine if someone is lying to you if you don't know exactly what the truth us before you ask

Are you more accepting of waifubait if they have an interesting backstory?
Waifu needs no justification.
>>46166427
I disagree. Waifu needs to have something more than just being cute to have any real value.
>>46166427
Exactly! We don't need any justification to not ban them.
What's the point of the fucking goggles?

When your lovemaking goggles have just been used and your girlfriend wants it a little bit rougher this time

They did market research and learned that you personally dislike them. It's part of a bid to drive you away.

What's the point of wearing pants?

Pauper General,
I'm sort of poking around and looking into the format and seeing if I might pick up some decks.
I saw an article that described the goblin deck as a sort of board control deck, that used cards like spark smith and death spark to grind through your opponent's board.
It was a pretty old deck though from like 2014, is that style of RDW still viable? Every goblin list I see on mtgtop8 is just these all in aggro decks.
If I were to pick up some decks to have in a bag to play with people, I'd really love it if there was...

OP, If you don't add "mtg" to the thread subject, it won't appear on people's filters and less people will get here.

when i killed ur mum in bed last night
okay so it's not great but I once killed the entire group with create water.
In pathfinder, create water creates 2 gallons of water per level. We were sixth level, so I could create 12.
We found a basin radiating powerful illusion magic (it was disguised to look like something else) so we decide that that's not all the power it has.
And I decided to be cute with this. So when told to fill it up with water, I dropped 12 gallons of the stuff in there.
Well for some reason, the guys making return of the temple of elemental evil decided that...

Well, the Division is not a perfect game (it suffers from a lot of typical Ubisoft problems), but it's still pretty damn entertaining considering I've already dumped 27 hours into it (I might actually still be playing it right at this very moment...).

The Captain then steps aside to let the projector do its work, cycling overhead images of Midway Island. What was once a beautiful, sandy oasis in the vast Pacific Ocean was not a ugly mass of obsidian steel and marble flesh. Even in the still images, the island appeared to pulse and throb as if it were alive, churning up your stomach in response.
"As expected, the beaches are heavily defended by coastal guns and ground combat form Abyssals." The Captain continues. "As well as areas we believe...

"Actually." The Captain points to two large blobs, one white and one black, with bright red circles around them. "The Intel analysts discovered two profiles which don't match up with anything we've encountered before. Our best guess is that these are the 'unique' Abyssals we've been hearing about appearing in Asia."
"Unique, Captain?" Enterprise speaks up with concern. "How so?"
"It appears that there's only one instance of these...

Sociopathic asshole adventurer types. Stack on some snarky douchiness for bonus points.I'm terrible, I know.
"Oh, you want to change back now?" Asai VERY SHARPLY taunts the monster that stands almost twice his size. "You want to change back?"
Uh oh, He's about to say something rude again.
Asai smiles with that big toothy grin,
"Make me."
Oh.
There goes that table I was planning to have dinner with the family.
The beast stomps right through it, trampling it to splinters.
But.. he finds himself stopped. His hands centimeters away from Asai.
I am Itsukuma Masami.
Everyone is difficult to work with but me!
Why can't everyone be as agreeable, easy going, and smart like I am?
I've captured Asai, who is apparently a half of a person. I've also captured the other half of that person, who looks like a giant building. Those two people form the entity known as "Tower". They were split when the original 'Tower' made a rude remark to the chairman, who was his master at the time.
Then, in another twist, it turns out that wasn't the reason at all? That some part of Tower wanted to ditch the 'baggage' that the other half held, and that part went on to become the Asai I know?
That's.. how it was explained, but it raises a lot of questions.
One of which, how do we put Tower back together again if this is the case?
I don't know, but if I can't figure it out soon; that monster may crush Asai!
That's... a bad thing. I guess? Maybe?
Uh oh, the metal beast is yelling again.
"STOP THIS, LET ME RETURN."
"Pfft, you were always such a drag." Asai teases, being very careful not to touch the monster despite being so close. "You NEVER wanted to help my brothers or sisters. You just wanted to keep your head low, live your dumb; uneventful life, and be known as a loyal servant."
The monster is trying to grip at him, but is still fighting some invisible layer surrounding Asai.
>Cont.
"You are complete scum." Asai runs his fingers along the beast's exterior, "And a Coward. And an Idiot. You wanted to damn BOTH of us to live under someone's thumb for our entire lives just because you're too much of a-" I didn't catch that word, I think it's English? sss- pu- sss. Something.
"So." Asai walks past him and leans against the wall. "Since you still can't get over the notion of hurting a part of yourself, I guess you're going to remain there, and I'll remain here. Just be sure to...
