I value clarity and inclusiveness, and BBEG is a perfect example of bad jargon.
Why don't you value clarity and inclusiveness? It's a problem I noticed that continually pops up, and it's only because a few people are attached to a purposely-dumb-sounding and largely outdated acronym that is absolutely unnecessary, and whatever wellspring of humor it was tapping from has long since dried up.
It's just bad jargon at this point, and there's no need to perpetuate bad jargon like it's your favorite pet term.

Cute girl but I've got the best version :3
How to make the undead feel exotic? Egyptians would be too Tomb Kings like so maybe Assyrians? Which culture would give the most sinister and distant vibe?
>>48107568
Exotic to a western audience I take it? Should be easy to just go ancient chinese or aztec then. Or is plate armor a must?
Inca. Part of the reason for their expansion was so the living emperor could have a domain alongside that of his dead ancestors.
The ancestors' wills were interpreted by sun priests
Go mongol or go home. It's cool, because then they can just raise skeleton horses as well and be annoying horse archers. The ultimate annoying horde faction!

Definitely Minnesota.
What's the best way to stop players from going native in your game?
>>48107293
define "going native". This is a phrase that has no meaning on its own without proper context
>>48107293
Brutally murder everyone and everything they so much as begin to care about.
>>48107359
Probably means settling down and becoming like whatever NPCs live there, because it seems too cozy not to. Like, say you travel to some place where there be elves and they seem to be chill with you just hanging out. They treat you like a guest, give you free food and you get to oogle elven waifus all day long. Why would you move? It's safe there and you're set for life. (To elves, one human lifespan is like nothing.) No point in being an adventurous murderhobo when you can just life off elven welfare for...

How does one even build a decent necromancer in 5e? it seems so under powered when compared to 3e.
>>48106692
>It seems so under powered when compared to 3e.
Welcome to magic in general in 5e, and thank Pelor for it. All the magic classes are weaker now, and this a good thing because they no longer completely overshadow everyone else by level 6.
As far as building a decent necromancer... meh, honestly you're better off just going for conjuration and making deals with demons and the like. Warlocks in particular tend to lend themselves to this well.
>>48106808
>demon deals
this kind of interests me, what benefits could this lend me?
>>48106808
You are completely and overwhelmingly incorrect, as 6th-level is precisely when necromancers attain a tremendous power upgrade.
D&D 5e's "bounded accuracy" makes a swarm of generic human skeletons with shortbows exceedingly vicious, particularly if the mob rules from the Dungeon Master's Guide (which occupy an odd space between "default rule" and "optional rule") are in play.
This is all the more the case for a 6th-level necromancer wizard, who can add...

Welcome to the thread for d20 station, a rules light Space Station 13 server.
>What is Space Station 13?
It's a 2D top down atmospherics simulator with who dun it gameplay layered on top. Each crew member aboard the station has a specific job to perform, while a select few are selected to be traitors or antagonists (assasain/spy/thief).
>How do I get this game?
You'll need to download the BYOND client. There's games other than SS13, but enter those at your own risk.

OH shit a new thread, are any of you nerds on?
Busy right now. Maybe i join you later.
I've been out of Warhammer for a while, but after seeing that the Dryads are getting a Tree Dreadknight, Orion's younger brothers and a Big Bad Beetleborg, I'm tempted to get back in.
What does /tg/ thing of this shit? Are we still calling GW hacks for everything they put out? I seem to vaguely remember something about new management trying to repair the damaged bonds with customers, did that ever amount to anything?
>>48105063
Did this really need an entire thread? just go to the AoS general, most of the people there are pretty happy with the newer releases, particularly the new Ironjawz and Sylvaneth. The points being added in also did away with a lot of the shitposting about AoS not being a real game. however, everyone has opinions, you will have people who will hate anything AoS comes up with simply because they think GW destroyed their setting and they can't play with rulebooks that came out 3-5 years ago
>>48105063
/tg/ hates AoS. But they make some great models. And some really dorky models.
AoS was a total shitshow but GW is at least attempting to fix it now with the general's handbook and adding back in point costs. Still doesn't fix the weird ass setting though.
>>48105063
>What does /tg/ thing of this shit?
models are cool, opinions still mixed on everything else
Scope out local shops, decide for yourself. Online communities are an awful judge of how much you'll enjoy a tabletop game.

O-Oh.
All ideas sound stupid and pathetic at the start.
That's why you write them down, so you can work on them.
If Gygax and Arneson hadn't thought "let's upend established war games and make them more complicated and granular at a smaller scale for fewer players with more necessity for an impartial third party referee and (eventually) uncommon dice not sold in stores and also let's play make believe and act like elves and fairies (in front of an audience of adults) as we do it by combining sixty influences in a haphazard way" we wouldn't have D&D and arguably wouldn't have RPGs as we know them. Certainly they would have taken longer to evolve and...

If psykers shine brightly in the warp, and the emperor is the astronomicon, shouldn't the Tyranid hive mind be even brighter? How come the chaos gods don't just go after the most powerful single psyker in the entire universe?
>>48103856
Because 40k lore is retarded
Tyranids are like infrared instead of visible light in the warp.
>>48103856
Emprah's too Powerful for chaos gods, sort of. it's hinted at that his Manly-nesses warp-presence is crazy strong to the point that any one chaos god trying to go after it might be doing itself more harm than good.
Also, the tyranid hive-mind's Psychic presence is fucking CRAZY huge, not neccessairly brighter, as its not as concentrated as the emperor's, but because its just a fucking gigantic flood of psychic activity from what is essentially the whole hive mind talking to itself, it causes...

How does /tg/ feel about all human settings?
Depends on the setting.
>>48103012
They're my go to these days. That said, there's a shit ton of variations, even with humans. You wanna play a midget or pygmy? Go ahead. Wanna play a 7-8ft tall beer chugging behemoth? Feel free. Fuck it, it's the age of sail, go ahead and play a Cherokee pirate who survived the pox.
>>48103012
I like it. When I made my setting for my first game, I made no restrictions, so players came up with all sorts of wacky races. Had to keep adding more bullshit to explain where all these places are.
Also, some of my friends try to use race as a character trait rather than writing an actually interesting character.
What is the evilest/ most destructive thing that you can have your BBEG try to do? Enslave all life forms? Destroy the multiverse? There must be a biggest bad out there, let me know what you think it is!
Try to defy fate by preventing the future from occurring while acting very edgy
Had a guy who was attempting to do what amounted to everyone being in pain forever. The world still functioned, everything was the same, just everyone was in just shy of crippling pain. Every new person born as well.

His only mistake is assuming that humanity draws faith solely from religion and dogma.
