Why does U always get the shit end of the stick?
And why does R get all the cool stuff?
Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
bad bait

I'm trying so hard not to take this bait
What are you working on right now, GMs of /tg/? Post here for help, feedback, or just to show off how cool you are.
I want to make a dungeon the size of a city. How do I make this workwithout spending excessive amounts of time?

If you don't want to do the work yourself, there's quite a few dungeon generators for fantasy settings. I think a favorite is Donjon.

help me out bros. Normally I would have no objections, but female gangster just doesen't fucking fit.
What system would be good for X-COM or hell, even Starship Troopers game?
>>46089763
How about... No. Let's instead ask what setting could we use the X-COM System in.
bump
Only war would be good for starship troopers

I have a problem /tg/.
I was considering running a cyberpunk game for some friends, and I came to a hard decision.
Is it more fun to be the bounty hunter, or the shadowrunner? Tank police or motorcycle crime squad?
Basically, which is better- cops or robbers?
Cops, always cops.
You never get to play as the authorities and it fucking sucks.
>>46089089
There's not much difference, to be honest. The only thing that i can think of is the fact that cops have to be less destructive, because laws.
>>46089151
don't forget that you also have at least some authority.
Let's make a Space Marine Chapter! I made this color scheme, and now want to roll it up as a chapter.
D10 for why we were founded!

There's just something about this guy that any opportunity that I have to dream crush him, I would go for it every time.
I like how he takes a moment to explain how mad he isn't, while sounding completely butt-mad the entire time.
>>46088279
I bet hissub-200dream is crushed every time he steps on the scale. :^)
Tell me the dirtiest thing you ever did with your weapon.
>>46087852
Bisected a shit golem.
>>46087852
I ripped a lizard man in half and guts flew all over the place
It was very messy. My guy had to get a wash after that.
>>46087852
When I first had my sword, I cleaned the blade judiciously, but ignored the rust on the guard because I thought it was just natural blade aging/pitting. After two years, someone finally suggested I clean it, and by then the little holes were bery numerous. I've been told it makes the weapon look well-worn.
As GM and player, do you think featuring lengthy scenes of pure PC interaction with no story stuff going on, like just hanging out around town, is worthwhile if the players get engaged into it?
Pic somewhat unrelated because mobile.
>>46086933
>if the players get engaged into it?
There's your answer. If the players are engaged, you're doing it right.
>>46086933
Yes? How is this even a question. It's a roleplaying game. If the players get engaged enough that they are entertained by simply acting as their characters and interacting with each other and having character developing moments, that's a good things.
>>46086933
I always enjoy the occasional inter-party chat during a campfire either before going to sleep or during your watch. Also, you can never go wrong hanging around in the town with your party once in a while to blow off steam.

How do mages in your setting handle magic that involves transforming humans and/or animals? Is it verboten, common, or under the table?
I don't have it at all unless someone else brings it up. My fetish is tf and I am therefor unable to write it in any way without being worried someone will realize its my fetish.
>>46086877
Just fuck off with the gender change and you're fine.
>>46086714
A tragedy, in my setting.
Magic went out of control. Entire towns and cities woke up as mutated beasts with extra lombs and arms.
What is the best video game translation of the experience of playing a tabletop role-playing game such as D&D?
>>46086525
Bethesda games. It feels like playing a game with a GM that reads straight from the adventure and uses one of three voices for every character and they all love you.
Baldur's Gate
Early Bethesda up to Morrowind, but Oblivion does feel more like a traditional fantasy setting.
Older JRPGs that was inspired by D&D. I was LITERALLY thinking about the old Final Fantasy, since 1 and 3 are pretty much D&D knockoffs, especially the former. I would recommend 2 but I'm not sure if you'd like it.
Also Wizardry.
Dark Souls. You'll feel like you're under the thumb of a cruel GM who refuses to hold your hand, while still giving you the freedom to build your character how you want.
ITT: We give established space marine chapters new fluff.
Example
>Ultramarines are now officer specialists
>After Guilliman's fatal wound, they establish a "senate" of company masters that discuss military matters based on the knowledge of the codex they were left with
>Most marines delegate more time to studying than actual training in hopes of being recognized as masters of the primarch's teachings and rising in rank
>Ultramarines...

Give me fluff for underfluffed chapters.
Example: Hammers of Dorn.Best color scheme.
Salamanders hiss annoyingly when they speak and sunbathe for 2 hours every day instead of eating.
>>46086182
Raptors use mainly ranged weapons as a reaction to the Tau and Tyranids- they frequently got shot down before they could close in melee and the Tyranids would often surround and rip apart their most stalwart warriors, again in melee.
Also, they don't generally use melee because they don't want to get the IG they work with jealous. Of their glorious, armored, forms tearing the enemy apart with chainswords and power weapons.
Does /tg/ not like, freeform roleplaying? why? why not?
>>46085823
So this is what Richard looked like before he met Nicole.
With a bit of exclusiveness, extensive character creation constraints, and a mod that hates *teleports behind you* tier stuff it can work. Otherwise it just becomes a shitshow of teenagers's special snowflakes trying to one-up everyone.
There's no challenge to overcome when you can do literally everything.
What is your favorite homebrew Space Marine chapter that DOESN'T belong to you?

SOMEONE POST THEIR HOMEBREW AND I'LL VOTE FOR IT IF YOU VOTE FOR MINE!

Well, there was this one thread where the OP talked about a mixed chapter of Fallen Angels and novice Black Templars, and another from the Cursed Founding called the Phosphor Drakes (who were, as I recall, prone to spontaneously combusting into warp-tainted flames.)
The Dank Angels
