Is it possible to have an interesting dungeon in a tabletop game where there is absolutely no combat, and isn't full of traps puzzles? Where it is a location where simply exploring it is the fun part and players will still find it entertaining/worthwhile. If you think it is possible, how would you go about doing it?
No.

>simply exploring it is the fun part and players will still find it entertaining/worthwhile
Do you have a single idea in your head for what they'd *find* in this dungeon that they're exploring?
>>45667582
Only if it's a macguffin dungeon or full of lore stuff

So Konami just annihilated the secondary Yugioh market. Prices for most things are set to plummet, letting anyone build the most competitive deck for a fraction of the old price.
Players are happy, since $40 staples are set to drop to $5, but vendors are fucking pissed.
Do you think such a reprint strategy is smart?
mtg should do this with reserved list cards
>>45663663
Why would it not be smart?
cards are a game, not actions for speculators
>>45663681
That is pretty much what is happening
Most of the card in there are the staplest of staples or pure cardboard powercreep
A space marine chapter is devastated and only one marine survives. Does he join another chapter or what?
>>45670357
No.
Different geneseed. Different culture.
The Deathwatch is the best option.
Most likely he either joins the Deathwatch permanently as a Black Shield or goes solo on a penitent crusade for the rest of his life.
>>45670357
As others have said, he may join the Deathwatch, or it's possible he might join up with a close Successor Chapter as a specialist of some sort (A Crimson Fist would join up with the Imperial Fists) though he would likely retain much of his original iconography and armor.
You can also do what I did and, if the Space Marine in question is saved from death by an Inquisitor, and the Inquisitor in question offers you vengeance on who killed your brothers, you can become a quasi-legal Inquisitorial Space Marine...

Everyone I've talked to had their own interpretation for alignments. I want to settle this. The scenario is
"A warrior walks into a new town..."
How does that warrior act for each alignment?
Depends on character of the warrior.
Lawful Evil doesn't quite make sense to me. Laws usually protect little man and all this, taking advantage of them is usually against spirit, if not letter. And if you set laws yourself, what's the difference from chaotic?

You don't really believe this, right?
Welcome one, and I welcome you all to the tale of a world called Thespia.
Here is the odyssey of one that clings to this world with no face of their own! In a place where magic is fundamental to all of creation, all who live wear their lives upon their face, where a fire might wish to be the cooking fire of an inn!
The Faceless overcame the tyrant lord of Bikel, Stephan Grant, son of Mikael Grant. Thus, while wearing the face of the vengeful spirit "The Reaper of Aurel" otherwise known as Dramir, a story in the world of Thespia comes to an end as a hero...

>[Interlude]
Lurking among the trees of littkle hamlet of Pruden's south woods, Prudenia a figure clad in darkness's ambiguity watches over the dancer and her party as they walk the the livingwood homes. From its vantage point, and with subtle movements of whispy ears, it listens in from afar as this party heads towards the task they were told to perform.
In watchful, lonely silence, it is there, observeing from the shadows, giving neither a peep nor drawing ever a breath too strong....
[End interlude]
Sol shines his morning light through the parting in the leaves that serve as window shades. The interior of this livingwood home is like nothing you've ever seen: the furniture, tables, chairs are all seemingly molded out of the floor of this treeborn home, covered in a powdery bark that's ever so slightly moist for coolness and comfort. Where there might have been a carpet, the bark changes thickness and texture, where there are cabinets, they seem welded shut until Teraca approaches and seems to “ask” the tree to open the door as it opens like a fold rather than upon a hinge.
As the three of you sit, your host pours you a sparkling, bubbling tea into cups of the same living wood, fizzling ever so slightly with excitement. You take a sip, and the sweetness washes over your tongue with bursts of rich fklavor, bringing a warmth to your heart and cheeks.
Once everyone is served, Teraca sits down in silence, peering up at everyone from underneath a black cowl that covers the tresses of her hair and lets only her the bottoms of her eyes, down to her neck show. You can make out a swirling floral pattern weave its way across her face, sprouting from her eyes, and all the way down the reaches of her neck, standing pink, red, and white against slightly green skin.

The woman smiles at you all, the sad smile of a worried mother as the awkward silence in the room grows deafening. Biz seems to still be unable to relax from the run in with Dire wolves as he fidgets in his seat, and Odette, while none the worse for wear seems to defer the talking to you; likely she feels too close to the subject matter.

Your name is Amy Nakamura, a 17 year old void Oni, and right now you’re talking with a Troll. Capital T, bigger than a fucking truck, Troll. His name is Charles and except for a brief outburst, he’s rather polite. He also just asked you what you are, because apparently to everyone, you smell like an Ogre. You really have no idea how to deal with this, your entire child hood is in shambles. Trolls were always the worst of the fantastical creatures in the world, they’d lie to your face about eating your dog and then they’d proceed to eat your kid. They weren’t supposed...

I try to add write-ins to the post if they’re applicable to the situation, shitposting write-ins will be ignored unless they are genuinely funny and can be added. Try to have fun!

>Answer his question, then ask him a question in return (Why is a troll having a regular conversation? Not to sound like a racist, but it's pretty unheard of, at least around here)
>>45663813
Obviously he does not wish to perpetuate the stereotypes surrounding his people, and wishes to be a civilized troll, and his holding back is a worthy and applaudable effort on his part, you racist.
Rolled 46 (1d100)
Last time a wedding went down and a mishap during the honeymoon led to a very magical realm. Upon exiting the MCs found themselves deep in republic turf which they easily escaped.
Alas they have yet to fix the problem besides that one which occurred upon the exiting...
So until then research was done and money was made.
What do?

Have the spy and our spy network look for potential targets of opportunity we can look to in the near future. Republic, alien, or enemy places we can think about conquering down the line without sparking a major war.

Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, learned how to pick and choose his channeling targets, activated a trap that got himself caught and desecrated some undead bodies. Now he and his allies face a terrifying foe.

The desiccated, bandaged corpse slowly makes its way towards you. Not the shambling gait of a zombie, but a regal stride filled with ill intent. Its heavy footsteps thunk heavily on the floor despite the soft padding provided by its bandaged feet. The smell of death is absurdly lacking as earthen smells waft their way into your nostrils.
Gabby has made it up to her hands and knees to the left side of the room. She's covered in dust and bits of tomb, a stream of stone falling onto her from where the wall crumpled from her impact. Dolah, on the right side of the room,...

My current group and I are playing a Palladium game. It's my first palladium run and holy shit the rules are so simple and intuitive. I wish it was more popular.
And no... not Rifts.
What could be some problems faced when you have a metal ore that is completely weightless but still has mass (I. E. Unaffected by gravity)? How would you refine it? How would you transport it? How would you forge it? For stability sake just use the density and mass of iron.
>>45654114
Is it excreted by worms too?
>>45654154
What? No. That'd be retarded.
>>45654114
Wouldn't it just fly off into space, like when they activated proper antigravity in that E.E. Smith novel? Assuming your fantasy word travels through space like the Earth does.
