How would this change the world and what's the best scientific reason (ie lack of accessible element) that none of the current world powers would already have an easy time of making the battery?

Dam redline was a great ova. Gonna go watch it again.
>>45999527
Depends on how easy it is to make these batteries. If it's super easy, then expect a tech boom. If not, expect crime rings popping up, like mafia groups and the like. If they do end up getting control on them, the setting may be run by gang families, buying all the land and having wars underground.

What are some fun ways to role play a warlock?
>>45999342
>>45999342
A friend is playing a warlock who sold his soul for the talent to play the guitar. The magic powers were just a bonus.
>>45999342
Literally doing it for fun. You are to evil powers as Orks are to fighting.
How would you try to take over a standard fantasy world?
>>45999281
The warlock looks the best. New demon slave labor equals peoples freedom to study and learn and little law breaking due to OP guards and wizzard police

Enchantress

Don't need to kill Lich, just turn him into harmless snake

Does that sound stupid?

That sound like the guilds from MtG.
>>45998152
This guy has a point.
I love MTG, I've been playing it for a long time, ever since some marching band geek friends of mine introduced me to it back in freshman year of high school.
But there's always been one thing that just... never sits right in my stomach.
You see, I'm a very non-competitive person. I can watch sports, cheer and have a good time, but could I play them? No. I can enjoy video games, but stay away from leaderboards and things like that.
When it comes to MTG, I love to take my simple Naya beast deck and have a good time.
Over time though, I lost interest...

No, I get it. You're probably a Timmy or Johnny and now all your friends are Spikes. There's nothing wrong with not having fun with Spikes, Spikes can be exhausting and dull people. Try to find like-minded people to play with or if that fails maybe try to introduce your Spike friends to some other tabletop games, maybe a good eurogame like Agricola or a co-op like Arkham Horror. You might be able to find a game where either you can have fun while they're being a tryhard or where their Magic tryhardness doesn't get carried over and they can also just play for fun.

Fuck no OP. The whole point of games is to have fun, this entire board is dedicated to playing traditional games because we enjoy them. There's enough things in life that you have to do even though you don't like them, why the hell would you add another? If Magic is no longer fun for you then don't play it. I've stopped playing several times over the years. After a while I'd...

I remember reading on here that the second generation of Tabletop Gamers saw that Bards had high Charisma and used to mind rape NPCs. Guy didn't explain what Charisma actually was, so I gotta ask the question. What is "Classic Charisma"?
Was it supposed to be more of a overtime you can get that guy to defect to your side kind of thing, more of an ability to haggle, or just a general aura of seemingly friendliness or leadership?
>>45995707
Imagine you have a fourteen inch cock.
Pretty much act like that and you'll understand Charisma.
>>45995770
I had the idea that that was current day Charisma. Sex and Mindrape mostly.
>>45995815
You are not getting it
it's about the aura you project on other people, confidence, wit and bravado
I want to make my own chapter /tg/
how do?
oh, and custom chapter/guard general

https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Space_Marine_Chapter_Creation_Tables
You're welcome.
>>45994810
Come up with defining feature. Add fluff until fluffed out. Design heraldry. Create crunch if applicable.
>>45994810
Basic question to ask yourself for this
1. What do these marines/guardsmen do differently than other pre-existing chapters/regiments?
2. Heraldry/paint scheme, check it with the poster for marines image that you can find online. You don't want it to be too similar to anything that's already canon.
3. Do not, repeat, DO NOT, brew up any special rules, units, or formations for your stuff. It just makes people not want to play you.
4. Get writing, you will want a basic back story for your dudes...

What one thing would you change about the system, or introduce rules more for?
>>45994545
I'm speaking from a 6th edition perspective but I would love to see some more detailed grappling rules.
>>45994545
They should incorporate the madness meters from UA or at least take a note from DG and combine them with the traditional countdown. I know CoC is supposed to be about the descent to madness but the meters really help give an idea of the different ways insanity works.
>>45994545
I'd like them to publish a print version of 7th sometime this century.
What fantasy stories have a rogue type of character as the main villain?
>>45994456
A few of the Drizzt novels had one, I think.
Pirates of the Caribbean
>>45994456
The Lankhmar stories usually do. On one or two occasions it's literally the Thieves' Guild.

You know, the cold isn't so bad, when you're inside and nice and cozy on a couch, wrapped up in a couple of blankets. And with three copies of your girls friend to cuddle with, rainy days are pretty tolerable....no lets be honest here Eli, they're wonderfully comfortable.
And it's even better with my little sister sleeping to my side, my kind of adoppted little sister reading a book on the other, and my monstrous wolf dog pet curled up around my feet, the only thing that could make this better if chaos just stopped being a thing I had to deal with.
Yeah, like that would ever happen, still, all the fighting just makes moments like these all the more sweeter, kind of like a nice bowl of strawberry ice cream on a hot day.
And now I want some ice cream, but I don't want to get up, since I'm at near comfy nirvana right here...
I sigh and lean back in the couch....really lazy day today, just feels tired
What do I do?
[] Take a nap *Dream thread*
[] Go hunting with Amanda and charlotte
[] get ice cream
[] Cow modo
[] go try and see how lovely is doing
[] go visit one of my other friends
[] mess around with magic

Your name is Amy Nakamura, a 17 year old void Oni, and you are currently trying to kill time with Trish before your scheduled Wizard meeting. You never thought you’d think that particular phrase before, but this week’s been pretty hectic and out-there. Honestly, going to see a wizard is probably the most mundane thing that’s happened to you this week. Which isn’t really that hard when you’ve fought faeries, got bound and met another Oni all in a few days. God you hope your life slows down after this….
Actually, that’d be a lie, this week has been incredible....

How would you guys run a campaign set in Lordran? I'm starting a campaign with this setting next Saturday, really excited.
>>45993286
We wouldn't. Dark Souls is too perfect to make a simple setting of it. And why Lordran? Everyone knows Drangleic is where it's at.
I am running a campaign in some Bloodborne-In-Middle-Earth setting, and god, it's hard. All the hidden lore, all the exploration, all the enemies and bosses and weapons and shit... As a tabletop, it's hard.
I don't expect you to do it good, anon, but if you do, tell us about it.
Bump for the try.
>>45995483
Also, my players are murder hobos who think that a 19 is the same as a 20, and that a 20 means they can do what they want forever. Seriously, they're like ''Oh, an eldritch abomination? Sweet sweet EXP, let's kill it and use his arms as weapons.''
>>45993286
I guess I'd basically just run the plot of Dark Souls as the story for it. Especially since my playgroup is full of casuals who couldn't get past the Capra Demon in Undead Burg before quitting.
You crawled out from beneath the rubble to look out at the destruction. Another bandit attack has ravaged your home. Your village was peaceful though it had a few hunters and guards. The thing that everyone hoped and feared was when the odd Adventurers would come through. Wizards, Rangers, Warriors, it didn’t matter. Every time they did, they either bought everything they could get their greedy hands on, or steal anything they wanted. They could make fantastic boons or destroy everything in sight.
Your village was out of the way, in the woods between several mountains...

“You could get revenge.” You turn, and you are no longer in the remains of your family’s home, but a dark place. Everything stank of dust and decay. A dark figure stood tall, not too far away. Not quite human, with a single point of light instead of a a face. You could tell it was fixated on you.
“I have...business. With those two. And you might have just the spark I need.” It glided over to you, hardly moving it’s body. “My name is Lera.”
“M-mia.” You mutter, looking up into the strange light.
“What do you say? Would you like to...

Does this happen to anybody else? How can I kindly break it to my fellow PC's that they need to pick up the fucking pace?
Pull a 4e and give them note cards. Blue for non-combat stuff they wasted a level up for and fed for combat things the GM will make backfire on you.

Sounds like it would be time to ban him from casters until he can get his shit together.
That or restrict him to magic missile master or warlock.
