character creators
what are some good video game character creators that you have used to make your character with?
pic related I dm'd a game almost every important npc I made in the soul calibur 5 creator. Doesnt work for more exotic races but the customiation was pretty great
>>45502039
anyone remember back in the pre-release of 4e they promised a digital token creator when you could have a vast number of pieces to select to make a damn good looking character?
>>45502079
To be fair, that fell apart because shit went down with the company that was contracted for it.
the ESO creation is pretty nice if you want to make a half orc who doesnt look like shit

It's so bright today, It's almost like the sun is burning a bit brighter than usual for some weird reason. There's not a cloud in the sky today. I smile, looking up at the blue sky as I hang my legs off the side of one of the half broken towers of the fort. You know, I don't really look at the sky enough, never did in my old life, and I barely do it here. I raise my hand up, watching the red...

I bet bailey would love to see all of this, I wonder what she's doing right now.
The whole courtyard is cleaned up, actually it's more sort of cleared, of all boxes and other trash. A few tattered golden flags with seven lines through them dance lazily on the air, and there are giant barrels which I'm pretty sure are just holding a whole fuck ton of...

Ask him if he has any metal or materials he can spare so Minor can forge us a new sword, I was thinknig something like the Moonlight Greatsword but pic related size.
Many options present themselves as tempting in the new year. With animal keeping growing more and more popular among the tribe, plenty of families are snatching the opportunity to trade for goats as fast as the nomads can breed and sell them! Soon nearly every family will have at least two or three females, with a male every two or three families; more than enough to grow the small population over a few years. Before you put your focus into that however, you realise you have a prior commitment to attend to.
It doesn't take too much longer. The small open-sided shelters...

Yes. Fuck that goat, he's a jerk.
Bandits are a staple of all fantasy settings, from noble bands of rogues to assholes looking to stab everyone for the silver in his pocket. Now how they begin and they function is one of great curiosity.

How shall we see our story begin?

So last night the rogue "playfully stabbed" the barbarian.
The barbarian made some lewd and flirtatious remark to her and that's what prompted the stabbing and giggling. They were both okay with this because it was only a 1d4 dagger and the barbarian has over 100 hit points, I think.
And it's that kind of disconnect between in game wounds and violence versus real life that doesn't sit well with me. Because I can't think of any situation where somebody gets stabbed that doesn't prompt a retaliation or calling the cops.
I realize that maybe I'M the one that's out of touch because gaming is supposed to be escapism and fantasy, so some people accept that they could stab their friends for amusement and as long as the stats on their character sheets dictate a poke with a sharp object is of insignificant consequence, they can all laugh it off while I sit in the corner brooding behind my "no fun" sign. But I can't help it because, outside of cartoons, I can't help but view most violence as things to take seriously.
But apparently I spoiled all the fun when I made it quite clear that I (the party cleric) wouldn't waste a healing spell on those kind of shenanigans. In character, my cleric told the rogue and barbarian that he comes from a culture and religion that views violence as a thing of last resort and making people bleed for amusement is abhorrent.
It was then an OOC argument at the table broke out and I was told that I "didn't get it" while I told them they "didn't get it" because it's kinda dumb to stab people for the lulz unless it's an evil campaign.
Anyway, the game ended that night with everyone kind of pissed off at each other and I can't help but feel a little guilty because I felt as if I threw a wet blanket over the mood right then and there. So I came here to see if "playfully stabbing" and similar behavior is actually something that's part of the hobby (I've only been playing tabletop for a month now) or if I'm okay with having a problem with it.
>>45495696
Nah, they just have an S&M relationship.
>>45495696
This, like everything else in gaming, depends. Some groups are more lighthearted and like to do stuff like this. Others, like mine, treat it a little more seriously.
If there's a disconnect here, it's between players concerning their expectations of what the game is and/or should be. Go ahead and sit down with them OOC and talk stuff over. Say "hey guys, I don't really get that behavior and see violence, even in-game, as heavy stuff, would you mind not doing treating it so lightly?"...

>>45495696
My gut instinct is to condemn it because they're not even attempting to play roles, but in the end every group is different. My personal bias is likely very different from yours is likely very different from your group's. The best solution is to talk it out with them and figure out what kind of tone the game is shooting for.
why is it this card is so fucking hard to sell?
I've played magic for a long time and I can't believe that NOBODY wants it right now, especially with how popular eldrazi are, I have 4 of them, how do I sell them?
>>45495046
because everyone thinks that it's gonna get banned in April
>>45495046
It may be pricy as hell, but only a retard or a guy with a lot of money would risk buying them now. This card will be likely banned in April.
Your best shot is proposing the best price because honestly 10 bucks doesn't make a difference for the heavy downfall that will soon follow.

I know, I know, d20s are super swingy. But if I can predict the chances of at least one d20 hitting the target number, does it really matter if I have the players roll say 2-5d20s and keep 1? Other than the sheer number of rolls of course.
Isn't that the point of tools like AnyDice anyway? To help predict the results of such interactions?

You sound like that one kid who couldn't read that always gets called up to read a passage to the class...in college.
Why don't you take the time you spent needlessly whining and answer the damn question instead?
>>45494061
For what purpose?
Why do you want to do a roll-and-keep system with d20s as opposed to something like d10s or d6s that are more commonly used for dice pool type setups?
Greetings, Acolyte. Noosphere reports indicate that you have been searching our Dataspools for information on an obscure Xenos specimen. By the will of the Grand Magos, I have been sent to assist in your investigation. Here on Core Xi, we possess information on the Biologis and Xenologis of many species encountered over the millennia, many of them rendered extinct by the might of the machine and wisdom of the Psalm.
I do not expect an Acolyte uninitiated with augmentations to possess the viewpoints necessary in the efficient extraction of such obscure data. My experience...

C-can we have a Darkest Dungeon thread?
I've really gotten back into the game after taking a long break. I think it's definitely /teegee/ worthy to speak about.
>>45492705
I've seen many people say when the question comes up about how to run a Darkest Dungeon ttrpg that Torchbearer would be the best option.
Having glanced at Torchbearer I can certainly see the tonal similarities, but it would still require a fair bit of work to be done to it. Classes would have to be reworked, for one.
we really need someone to hack into the game to find out exact percentages of everything, so we can just write them down and BAM! a cool tabletop game is made. just need some d100s
>>45492937
A lot of the percentages and stats are available on the wiki.
You are a celestial being, a shard of a god that has been flung across the universe. Along with other shards, you have been chosen to seed planets in your god’s name, converting them into bastions of light.
You have been chosen to lead fellow shards in this mission. You are now positioned just above a planet’s atmosphere. It is your duty to ‘guide’ this planet and your comrades. The process to do this is to plant the seeds of faith among the planet’s natives, slowing converting them into zealots who will worship you, love you and die for you.
As you have...

So, you shall begin your mission at:
>A coastal village - A tribe of humans worship primitive idols and have a multitude of pagan gods they offer sacrifices to. You could easily appear to them as their gods, or you may destroy their old gods and offer yourself as their new ones. Only a handful of them appear to know magic, meaning they would offer little resistance to a hostile takeover. However, their village is also isolated, meaning it may be difficult to spread from there without...

>A wandering warband - Throughout the ages, perhaps the greatest means of convincing others to follow your way of thinking is to test their beliefs with an axe. This vicious warband, although small, have been marauding through the countryside of a prosperous kingdom for some time. None of them believe in any particular gods, but they are highly superstitious. They seem to read ‘omens’ in nature and their surroundings. With a little manipulation, you could probably get them to believe in...

Alright, so studies have show hundreds upon thousands of old tales and stories that match the Hero's Journey outline. Whether you really noticed or not, a bunch of your campaigns that you probably felt went really well probably had elements of this in it.
The real question is why aren't you using this to your advantage when running a campaign?
Here is a website describing the chart for the hero's journey:
http://www.thewritersjourney.com/hero's_journey.htm
Think back to your previous campaigns, which ones are you just now realizing follow this?
Because the Hero's Journey is the narrative equivalent of the Four Chords of Pop.
It's not the only possible template, it's not the reason why any of those stories are great, and over-reliance on it just makes everything sound similar.

im pretty sure the concept is far far older then tv tropes anon.
what are some important rules that a caster should remember, /tg/?
Human kind cannot obtain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
>>45489068
GEEK THE MAGE FIRST
>>45489068
The ability of the magic to advance the plot is directly proportional to how well the player understands it.
Besides cloning and artificial insemination, what would future societies on Earth or extraterrestrial colonies do to keep a birthrate at or above replacement level? Via social/religious policy, norms, laws, or technology?
I can't imagine humanity spreading across the stars when the developed world has a negative birthrate, and any immigrants have their birthrates gradually lower to match their host society. So either we would change, or the space colonists would have a different mindset on how many kids to have in their life.
>>45483498
Dude, they would fuck.
Come on, /tg/.
>>45483498
Artificial wombs would potentially mean that far more embryos gestate, both due to near-optimal conditions and significantly lower opportunity cost of being pregnant for 9 months. Creche-raising and extended social "family" structures lend a degree of modularity to what is now a binary CHILD / NO CHILD in the developed world. Add in potential financial or social benefits to procreation and you can spike that birth rate; just ask Ze Chermans about Lebensborn.

Hypothetically, how would an immortal yet not unkillable individual who has no special powers other than abundance of time take over a kingdom, starting from the bottom?
How would you do it, /tg/?
>>45481878
fuck everyone. Now the population of the kingdom is just my offsprings
>>45482031
That doesn't necessarily mean they'd be loyal to you.
>>45482204
then you can tell them that you fucked their mom/grandmom/greatgrandmom, and after the horrific realization that yes you indeed did that they will be embarrassed and do what you say
