I have a question for those who play card based games; Why don't you just find the cards you want online and print them out to play with?
I'm not saying you try to pass them off as real ones, but what's the point in spending money on cards when you can just print them?
Thanks
>>45932394
It's not fair to your opponent if they spent real money on their piece of cardboard. If you and your friends are all doing a print-out like you're suggesting, then no problem. But if your opponent's cards were all bought legitimately, you have to get on their level.

I have a question for those who shop in cash-based stores; Why don't you just find the bills you want online and print them out to purchase with?
I'm not saying you try to pass them off as real ones, but what's the point in withdrawing real money when you can just print it?
Thanks

That's illegal
Hey, the Kenan and Kelemvor thread died before I could ask, but how would actually Ronald Reaganing the wall affect your alignment?
I mean, the gods obviously aren't going to be thrilled that you broke their stupid crap, but that can't stand in the way of justice.

I don't really see how you could find 17-18 more attractive than 15-16.
>>45932198
17-18 is when she ascends to True Animecestor and gets her own shoujo manga.
>>45932198
I think it's supposed to be a sign of maturity in her sex appeal, as opposed to 15-16's more innocent look.
The scale's skewed though. Maybe I'm forgiving (or desperate) but I'd still consider 7-8 reasonable enough. Not UN-attractive, certainly.
I seem to be regularly making threads about Traveller that becomes Traveller general so lets cut the middle man and just call this thread, Traveller General! Have Traveller Stories? Homebrew? Q&A? Or awesome ship pics or potential NPC/PC pics? Post here!
Anyone have any stories to share from their experiences playing scifi or traveller? Post dat shit son.

I've made it a kind of whenever-I-have-spare-time project to flesh out the Islands setting. It is as autismal as it sounds.
It always bothered me that the base MGT ruleset tends more often than not to mention any specifics about other bodies within a system or the composition of gas giants and whatnot. Sometimes I wonder if I couldn't model some of the systems in Space Engine or somesuch to see how they'd really move and where planets would have to be in relation to what type of star they orbit in order to be habitable.
Has one of your characters ever used a psychoactive skin or similar magic item as a primary part of their build?
Hello, That Guy.
>>45930217
A friend of mine has.
It's purely magical realm though, he loves latex and bdsm shit. I mean, hell play the game entirely normally, but I know why he has his Elfslut Casterbitch in a skin tight suit.
Psychoactive skin?
I enjoy figuring out how to make overpowered characters, as a sort of puzzle. D&D 3.5 is the most fun system for this, but I'm kind of sick of it. What else is a good system for character optimization puzzles?
(4E is boring because the results are constrained to marginally stronger combat characters. Mutants And Masterminds is boring because it's too easy to break. The point is the puzzle, not powergaming.)
GURPS. Have fun with that.
Why not sit and masturbate instead? Same result.
Magic: the Gathering.
What is the most metal way your group has ever killed anyone?

it wasn't really metal in the game's context but when a death knight had nearly killed every single party member and it fell to me to finish him off and all I had was a simple wooden club it became brutal

Shit load of notcocaine after my bard lost his love interest and ODed.
Motorcycle, leather jacket and a shotgun.
Fist fight with a gang because we took their turf.
Your metal is not metal, Judas Priest and Motorhead and Black Sabbath are. Each of those matches to a band mentioned.

Exploded his own skin (player was being of mana) layer to damage primordial evil... To save his enemies from it.
Yes. Enemies
So I'm working on a sort of squad/skirmish game very akin to infinity and I'm playing around with different mechanics. Got most of them down, but I have quite a few ideas in terms of how to handle armor... which leaves me with no idea at all.
Here's how damage works:
Very akin to a few Spartan games, it is a D6 based system where 4+ is a success. Therefore, if a player is to roll 3D6 for damage, every 4+ is an inflicted point of damage.
Now, I want to add armor and armor piercing to the game but I am unsure as to how the two should interact. The...

100% honest, I have NEVER heard of this game somehow until now and I am taking a look at the rules right now.
>>45929252
So I've looked through the 2nd ed rules real quick and it looks a lot like option 2 but I have not found anything dealing with armor penetration which is what's really bugging me, because I want that to be an important part of the game. Anything I might have missed?
So I'm a DM and player who's fairly experienced with 3.5, and I'm about to purchase physical copies of some rulebooks. I'd really appreciate some opinions and contrast on the two editions if anyone would like to share, so I can decide which edition to sort of glue myself to for the future.
>>45928656
Both are crap. You are crap. The things you like are crap. Your fun is bad and wrong.
Seriously.
Go buy 2e supplements off ebay and amazon and be a better person. Enjoy life better.

5E has less nitpicking options and is more towards adventuring and while 3.5 is the grognarding edition that allow you to do whatever the fucking hell you want and nothing can stop you

Can someone explain this to me?
>>45927584
The Emperor is a god you disgusting heretic.

/thread
>>45927584
They don't hate psykers, they're just a lot more useful dead than alive. Alive they might win a few fights, maybe save a planet or two, but by dying they're going to keep the Emperor alive for a few seconds longer.
Previously, we got some very muddled answers from a soul and talked metaphysics with a pig monster.

You steeple your fingers as you take a seat and for some reason you can’t help but wonder just what Cennen has been up to lately. You’ve been keeping an eye on him of course but you don’t always understand what he’s doing when he gets it into his head to obsess over something. He has a habit of getting carried away. But still, Cennen has a good track record with these sort of things and remains under your supervision so you’re not too worried.
What was it anyway? Something to do with souls?
Bah, he could just come ask you! You’re pretty sure you’re the ultimate authority on that matter.
Your true name cannot be spoken by any human tongue nor can it be properly reproduced by any known alphabet. But you’ve come to accept that ‘Hiss’ is a passable translation. You are the current Serpent Queen and this is less fun than it sounds.
You are currently sitting in Lord Branth’s drawing room, ‘awaiting his pleasure’. Lord Branth is one of the most influential nobles in Melire and the most likely candidate for the new Mayor-in-Standing. His political tussling with a small number of other nobles in the city is what has lead to Melire’s current degradation, helped along with yours truly. He’s also staggeringly rich which is nice.
You’ve already started assuming control over Melire but as more of your troops and agents arrive by the day you’ve decided that it’s finally time to let what passes for the city’s rulers to know of your arrival. You’ll be charitable and even give him the chance to bend the knee of his own free will first.
If he ever lets you see him, that is! He’s had you sitting in this drawing room waiting for him for several minutes now. This is just unacceptable.
“I’d like to see his lordship now please.”

>>45927152
“I’m sorry ma’am,” the guard by the door says. He’s a pretty big guy and you get the feeling that he might be some sort of personal servant or bodyguard as well. “You didn’t schedule an appointment and his lordship is expecting a privileged guest soon.”
You roll your eyes. Humans. He doesn’t even know how many ways you could instantly render him insignificant. It depends on just how ...forceful you want to get and how well-known you want your exact powers to be.

Rolled 21 (1d100)
Last time we busted open a world revealing a whole lota...something underneath. Sadly they were all hostile. Other then that thanks to our Brood the Corporation is capable of breaking through to megacorp status. So both the CEO and Broker heroes are both busy working on that. The assassin is strangely suspicious of the gardener for some reason. Other then that the gardener is busy tending to his garden(unsurprising). While the assassin is doing who knows what. Kingler went on an adventure! While the broodmother is working on the broodworld. She...

You get a fatepoint for me missing Tuesday. For all those cropped pictures I know those things are a massive pain in the ass considering how hard it is for me to find decent pics. So you get a fate point for each of those too.
So you have about 30 fate points left.
For actions I advise focusing on the the MC's to get good upgrades for em. The other forces are in the care of actual heroic units after all so there isn't too much to worry about for them.

I want to see what the undead class is like.
I guess Abi could use more unit training for the outsiders we have. Then we just need to see if it's worth while to master all unit leading.
Hey /tg/. I'm a fresh newbie to PnP tabletop games who knows very little about tabletop systems as a whole. I know the more prominent fantasy systems are D&D and PF. I have a few questions.
1) What's the main differences between the various DnD editions? How is PF different?
2) Aside from fantasy systems, what are some of the more genre-specific systems? What are the more prominent universal systems?
I can't speak for any D&D before 3.5 since I haven't played them, but:
3.5: Quite crunchy when it comes to rules, poorly balanced, tons and tons of supplements.
PF: 3.5.5, essentially. They try to fix things and it doesn't work.
4: Plays a bit like a video game, but is a bit better balanced and keeps different classes interesting and demands teamwork. It's unpopular because it really diverges from previous editions, so it has few players.
5: Awful, dumbed down with incredibly boring mechanics. It's easy to get into, but there is no...

I've only played 5e but from what I've gathered the main difference is the amount that rules govern play. 5e is lighter rules like earlier editions were and 4e has a rule for just about everything.
