I'm starting an AD&D 2E campaign, and I'm wondering whether I should allow class kits or not. This is going to be me and my group's first experience with 2E.
They seem like they unnecessarily expand the rules to me and I read that some of the kits break the game's balance. What's the general opinion on them? What's your opinion on them?

>They seem like they unnecessarily expand the rules to me and I read that some of the kits break the game's balance.
got it in one
stick to core since you are still learning the system
>>45733643
Don't allow kits. 2E's core books have some issues, but the "crunch" expansions generally made the game worse.
>>45733680
>>45733695
Okay, thank you. I was leaning towards not using them.
Post what you got:
>I wondered why there were never any famous drow, but I figured they just can't stand the limelight.
>Never get a dwarf to build your home, I tried to talk to him all day but he was too busy getting stoned.
>"The city is filled with the most brilliant wizards in all the land!"
>"Y'know, I used to live there, and they really are bright! But ever since the injury I cantrip anymore."
>I asked a wizard if he ever felt like a god, he told me "I don't know, but it must be magical"
>The married necromancers had been arguing and fighting for months, until finally one said- "Honey, all I ever wanted, was your heart"
>A group of demons were asking how a beautiful woman how she wound up in hell, she said "I couldn't help it, I was smitten"
>We called for help when fire elementals attacked, but only fighters showed up.
>I told a cleric I was unsure of my faith, with so many gods I wanted to be I wasn't rolling the dice with my future! He told me to ask the wizard about his favorite spell since I couldn't be saved.
Given that my PC is the "Dad" of the group, I felt it only appropriate to throw out shitty jokes and puns on a regular basis to cement the roleplaying. But I can't find a solid list or database to keep thetorturejokes on rapid fire!
Let's fix that.
>>45733034
OP here, to clarify a bit more for puns particular to my campaign
>Setting is a large island with a metropolis in the center, a giant beacon of light emits from it
>System is Pathfinder
Party consists of:
>CN Elf Wizard
>Mermaid Water Druid
>LE Oracle of Cthuluis also a slutty woman that is specializing in mind control
>LG Cleric, is a major rules lawyer, also plays like CG for some reason
>What I assume is a ranger, he doesn't talk much
>And myself, a humanCommoner
>>45733100
>mermaid
Everything about sea and fishes.
>did you sea that? Something is fishy here.
While staring at mermaid.
>>45733034
>Call of Cthulhu
>As part of the backstory, a wealthy Mr. Dexter makes a sizeable donation to fun adding a new wing to the Arkham Asylum.
>When they visit it, someone catches a glimpse at the sign and tells me to fuck off.

You are Kline Bueller, and you are currently touring the town with Hilana and Verna in tow. You wish you've seen the city without Verna dragging you about last time, though.
As you take in the sights and look at the windows of the stores, showing their wares, Hilana nudges you.
"I hate to interrupt you, but we didn't come here to look around. I need new clothing, and Verna does too." She says.
"Awww..." Verna whines.
For once, you agree with the girl. Shopping is practically boring incarnate.
The three of you enter a large store, filled with women picking out clothing from various places. Good gods, this was your nightmare come to life.
"Kline, over here." Hilana says as she pulls you along towards a line of large puffy dresses and pulls out two of them, pink and yellow.
"Which one would you say is best suited for me?" She asks you.
Oh, brother.
>"The pink one."
>"Yellow."
>"Why not both?"

>"Why not both?"
Will you ever get a twitter? I miss the quest half the time when I could participate if I knew it had started.
>Knowing how to play Chess and Poker are life skills that everyone should learn
Do you agree, /tg/?
No. That's dumb and potentially a waste of time and resources that could be spent elsewhere.
>>45732506
No, though it might be a better alternative to jerking off all day. I am skeptical about it doing anything other than mildly improving working memory. I mean, besides learning a useless skill. I am pretty sure 90%-99% of the US population doesn't know chess anyway, so it's not even a social thing.
Come at me:

>>45732506
Yeah, probably.
What would change about magic if say the next set released all ten color combinations of expensive fetch lands except as $2 uncommons?
The entire magic player base throws a collective shit fit as their expensive collection of fetch lands went from four digits to $80.
>>45730803
I would laugh at bitter manchildren who invested a fortune on cardboard.
>>45730803
The big question is what would have to change in the design of current fetches in order put them on an Uncommon power level?
Here is a /tg/ setting idea.
Spiders are intelligent and can use magic, humans cannot. These spiders are still regular sized.
Posts canon to the setting involve votes rather than your post number due to rerolling and retconning faggotry from the previous thread.
If you disagree with a claim of a post, you vote you disagree and vice versa.
If disagreement surpasses agreement, then the post is not canon, and vice versa.
>>45729650
In addition, no samefaggotry or metavotes (Enabling Post Numbers being canon because that fucking ended terribly last thread.)
Last Thread: >>45692543
I vote we erase the canon from last thread because of metafaggotry.
Spiders wear droplets of water as hats. Not just a few of them, all of them. It focuses their power.
Large pointy hats are currently the height of fashion for spiders. The larger and taller the hat, the more fashionable. Often to the point of immobility
There is currently much debate over brimmed conical hats or brimless.
Tarantulas are considered incredibly vain for the fact that they can carry the largest hats comfortably
Last Thread, we wrestled a wolf into submission and named him Fox, then killed an Elk, remembered who we are and found a sweet cave and learned about Runes.

After reading the message, you hear a voice in your head that says “Voice Commands now active”.
“Well whatever, I’ll play around with that later” you think to yourself
You pile up your sticks gather earlier and start a fire. Giving those fire starting demonstrations are finally coming in handy. With the fire roaring and your Elk meat roasting above the flame. Eventually cooked, you bite into the taste meat and greedily chew it all down. With a full stomach and the fire dying down, you fall straight asleep with Fox lying by your side.
Woken in the morning with slobbering licks from fox. You see a message from the interface “Congratulations! For being the first person in your area to spend 12 straight hours with a hostile Beast. Would you like to form a contract with the Beast?”

How would one create Jetstream Sam for a Dungeons the Dragoning 1.6 game?
Human Paragon swordsman with artifact sword, desert wind special attacks? Vengeful trait?
Also, general Dungeons the Dragoning thread
Cyborg arm, likely artifact type - don't forget that. Possibly Diamond Mind or Iron Heart for sword school. Not sure about Alignment, if it matters.
The other question to ask is, 'What level is he'?
>>45727716
With stale memes and shit mechanics, just like the rest of DtD
I just had a weird thought.
What does the warform of a Unicorn Werewolf look like?
how do I get into tabletop rpg?
I never played one but it looks cool
are there online possibilities?
help out a newfag
Do you have a store in your area that sells hardcopies of RPG books?
>>45727641
there is a "roleplaying" store around in the city where people go to play children cardgames, maybe there
>>45727623
for online possibilities you want to check out roll20.net virtual tabletop, looking for groups etc. most groups dont last all to long before they break apart though. but by now i got a group that plays 2 times a week since about a year. ( since all my real life friends lack the dedication for a regular game)
im only posting on /tg/ since today though so i dont know about /tg/'s general opinion on roll20

It's a good thing you brought food and water with you, as you are up on that ridge for days, the hours occupied with little but prayer and pleas to the gods. You can't say you didn't expect this somewhat however. Rhea may have come to you easily, but she was the first of the Heavenly Gods, when they were still new and unsure what and who you were, much like how you met with Nila. Now they are aware and have made clear what they require of you, a display of your piety is required. Finally, as midsummer approaches, you feel something change in the air around you.
The heavy beat of wings sends wind gusting past your face and solid footfalls portend that you are no longer alone. A slow, deep and quiet voice speaks. You cannot make out their form, as like always, your feeble touch-sight is deflected by the god's nature, but they sound powerfully or at least solidly built.
"I have answered your call, godspeaker. I am diligence and labour, the god of all things that man builds to stand the test of time. No mere hands to shape stone for tools are mine, but those that raise up wood and rock and earth into a home, a temple and greater works you yet know not of. Speak my name."
>>45727106
Ummani." The name fits and rolls from your mouth almost before you even realise it. "Ummani the Builder and Great Shaper, god of Labour."
"It is a good name," Ummani returns, nodding. "I have answered your call, Trym the godspeaker and I know what you would ask of me. To ask the assistance of heaven for the sake of the Wild Gods when we remain un-honoured..." He sighs and shakes his head disappointingly. "I will assist you, but in return, you give the gods of the sacred heavens what they are due and raise a temple also on this site. Then I shall hear the prayers of those who seek strength and diligent endurance for the tasks they will undertake. I shall inspire those who plan and design for the future, for I am the patron of builders."
It has now become early fall. The traders have left with the nomads and your village is once again, a little more empty.

Start making the temple also bring our son to learn.
>>45727111
From last thread:
>Check how our flock is doing, did we get any kids so we can sacrifice an older one to Soqed when the time comes?
>See what the mood of the clan is like, talk to people and get to know them (free)
See how our son is doing, give him some education in the way of building and theoretical thinking, he may be physically weak but let us sharpen his mind.
>Make an Offering
Ask Maar and Ursa for their strength and pray that both Enki and isu are generous when they provide material to build with
>While we are there
Pray to the remaining Wild Gods...I kinda wanna see what Emush (Lady Snake Goddess) is like and what her deal is. I kinda wanna talk to Lugal and Ulh too, ask are they happy with their offerings, learn a bit more about their spheres of influence. (Maybe bring our son for this to watch)
>Keep working on the Temple of the Wild
any spare moments not resting are to be spent on this (get the whole tribe in on it)

Say a wizman makes a really great sword out of orphan parts. Are you a bad person for using it once you beat him up and take all his stuff?
>>45725328
What race were the orphans? if they were evil it's okay, people make shit out of dragon's and crap all the time
I dunno, how did he acquire said orphan parts? Were they organic and ethically sourced?
>>45725339
Humans.
>>45725347
He opened an orphanage, people brought in orphans and the ones who got "adopted" ended up as sword parts.

I wonder if Lucius is the same kind of Neverborn

Maybe, who knows. His mask is a bit more literal though.

Well, in one story he asks McMourning to make him a face.
So I wonder whats hiding underneath that mask
