How to roll dice: "dice+2d6" without the quotes in the email field rolls 2d6. "dice+5d42+23" rolls 5d42+23. "noko+dice+2d6" rolls 2d6 without showing the roll in the email field.In the rules department, you can look at http://www.4chan.org/rules - all global and board specific rules are in full effect. Apart from that, only two rules are important.1. BE EXCELLENT TO EACH OTHER.2. PARTY ON, DUDES. (AND DUDETTES)

So I just found out that Warcraft had a RPG game based on 3rd edition DnD.How exactly does it turn it's cogs. And does it have any relevant information about the world at large?How do I play a spacegoat or a worgen?Also, warcraft thread I guess.
>>45792751Baine Bloodhoof gets to do stuff, finally. Tyrande's around during levelling but, as posted earlier, rumours indicate she fucks up colossally trying to get Malfurion back and will be in the doghouse for a while. Khadgar's still around getting us to help him stalk his waifu Gul'dan, and Thrall is still around despite losing his hammer, sadly. Anduin's still around and active but probably not confident enough to reign in Greymane.
>>45792751For once, I want the Alliance and Horde to actually team the fuck up against a greater threat. Their leaders aren't THAT stupid, after all. Most of them, anyway.And maybe, for once, a lore character that has completely flipped their shit can be brought back to sanity instead of turned into a shitty raid boss.I'd rather like a quest chain to help Jaina work through the stages of grief, honestly.
>>45792772>What could possibly go wrong?Nothing, because Blizzard cares just enough about player balance to fuck up the lore, but not enough to actually unfuck server balance. So the belves have to stay with horde because they are the only thing keeping the Horde from being a quarter the size of the alliance
>>45792802>For once, I want the Alliance and Horde to actually team the fuck up against a greater threat. Their leaders aren't THAT stupid, after all. Most of them, anyway.They did. They lost. By the time the player questing starts in Legion the Alliance and Horde are effectively finished as military powers, and we need to start building new multi-racial organizations to fill the gap and save the world, hence the Order Hall storylines.Though of course none of that will matter and it'll be back to faction war business as usual by 7.1.
>>45792831>We've added another PvP zone a la Ashran. You're welcome.>Fucking Christ.I like the game, I really do. But it's hard not to feel worn out on how, no matter how much things change, the status quo refuses to budge.Then again, there's the PvPers who are constantly bitching about muh world pee-vee-pee, mate.What is it with that part of the fan base that is so obsessed with the Horde vs Alliance angle that they'll get into out-of-game fights over someone's faction choice?
>get a decent sized desk to organize cards on>spend a few hours organizing piles with cards specific to certain decks>come back and see thisWhy do pets love lying on magic cards so much?
I'm more of a bird person, honestly. I like cats and dogs though, if not for my allergy towards dogs.
>>45786244You have a cute cat. Very fluff.
>>45790982If you live in an environment where gunfights in the street are a common occurrence, your preference of household pet is the least of your concerns.

Anybody have any evocation suggestions for this artifact weapon?It's a soulsteel longsword that's base evocation is that it can hold essencex2 ghosts inside of it. They can be released reflexively from the sword at the weilders behest and if killed will always reform inside of the sword at sunset unless ghost eaten. They may also be returned to the sword at the weilders will.I am thinking of having an attack where on a successful decisive attack a ghost inside can attempt to control the struck opponent. Beyond that I am looking for inspiration if anybody can help out.
>>45791295Hmmm well if it's about ghosts what about something that cleaves the users soul as it strikes? Mayhaps dealing aggravated damage, or if you want something less boring maybe allow it to deal 'phantom damage' which does the usual levels of damage, but if hit by another attack by a Ghost the attack does more damage based on how much 'phantom damage' is lingering on the targets soul.
>>45791583Hmm second one is not too bad. Thanks.
>>45791610No worries, Anon.
Cool artifact from my game I thought I should shareThrone of the Deliberative (Artifact *****) This throne has two exact copies and is made up of solid blocks of a single magical material. Currently only versions of the five types of Jade and Orichalcum exist. One Throne is usually located in a Senator's Manse while the other is located in the Chamber of the Deliberative located in the Imperial Palace which contains the Scarlet Throne from where The Empress presides. When a Senator sits in their throne and spends motes to attune to it they can see and hear everything in the Deliberative chamber as if they were there. In the Deliberative chamber whenever a Senator attunes to their Throne the Throne in the Deliberative comes to life and creates a humanoid replica of the corresponding element. Red Jade creates a burning man sitting in the throne. Blue Jade makes a man of electricity. Green Jade has a man created out of vines. Black Jade makes a man of water. White Jade has a stone man come out of the Jade. Orichalcum creates a man of golden light. These figures copy the movements and voice of their Senator. If other Exalts were to join the Deliberative Thrones made of other magical materials would have similar effects. The Thrones will deactivate if the Exalt stands or ends attunement. It also ends if the Exalt expends any essence of any type. This prevents any Exalt from using any magic to empower their words. Their arguments should be backed on its own merits not of their magic. Once the Exalt expends essence the chair deactivates for a day removing the offender from the assembly. This however left an intentional large advantage to the Empress who may magically empower her words to all who hear but they have no ability to respond in kind.

I have no idea what am I doing edition.Previous thread:>>45701109
>>45790972Nah, crossbow 12 is more powerful than flintlock pistol (and even heavy dragoon pistol) while also cause impaling damage instead pi+.Repeating crossbow is weaker, but it's still imp damage and one shot per 2 seconds.Fuck TL4 guns, the only good thing about them is musket aka poor-man-sniper-rifle.
>>45791712One thing you are forgetting is that pistol is one-handed weapon, while crossbows are two-handed weapons. Pistol also weighs half as much as crossbow.>the only good thing about them is musket aka poor-man-sniper-rifleYou are extremely wrong and let's recount what TL4 guns can bring to the table.Arquebus - costs same as crossbow, as much damage as ST 12 crossbow, but only has ST 9.Musket - find me a crossbow that has comparable damage. That's right, you can't.Blunderbuss - crossbows wish they were that versatile. Slugs against heavy targets, shot against unarmored targets, birdshot as less-lethal load that is impossible to miss with.Heavy pistol - damage of a crossbow in a compact package.Pepperbox (from Pyramid) - six shots. More than enough to slightly wound anything that moves. Low damage can be compensated by shot placement.
>>45792045Why are you comparing guns to crossbows when bows are so much better?
>>45792755>Shooting an arrow at TL 4 armorAre you literally a bear? If not, then nope.
>>45792755Let me explain. In TL0-4 the bow is the best weapon for designated ranged fighter, there is no arguing to that. Crossbow has two advantages over it. First, it is cheaper and is an easy skill, which allows absolutely anyone to have a decent ranged weapon with relatively low investment of money and points. Second, heavy steel crossbows have much better penetration and "alpha damage" than bow. However firearms are even better in those regards - they are still cheap and easy to use, but also handier (in case of pistols) and more versatile (in case of blunderbusses), and muskets also have much better damage than crossbows, and for much lower price even - powerful crossbows are still expensive. So the only advantages of crossbows in TL4 are stealth and reliability.>>45792835Bodkin points.

>>45792803Try the getting started set? Its not bad for its price point. You'll probably end up spending more on paints and hobby supplies to be honest.
>>45792803Compare it to other hobbies. 40k, like all hobbies, are a luxury. They all cost a lot. For the cost my friend spend on a new console and games for his kid I could've bought 4 or 5 betrayal at Calth boxes. Just budget and save a little here and there. I'm a fucking dishwasher and I buy stuff regularly.
What compels some GMs to believe that encounters must bring players as close to death as possible for them to be good fights? I swear my GM gets a boner whenever we barely make it through even normal fights, and gets super salty when we finish a fight without taking much, or any, damage at all. It's as if if he's not trying to kill us, he's not "winning".
>>45791819>>45792035>>45792090
>>45792213
>>45791819If the party has to pack up and go back to rest after every fight it really breaks the flow.
>>45792810Dude, you're playing a fantasy game. Chug a couple of healing potions or have a healslut in the party. Unless you're going for hardcore super realism simulation (in which case you have no right to bitch anyway), healing isn't that hard to come around.Also if you're playing a caster and your GM is enforcing the whole "rest 8 hours to get your spells back" thing, find a better GM, seriously. Or better yet, use some sort of "Magic Points" system instead of DnD/Pathfinder's completely garbage "Prepared Spells" system.

>>45790590I pulled out the box out take a look through it. You are right, the cards that let him place extra encounter cards are on in the third or first/second slots. Misremembered that little piece.As for maturing: on page 11 of the learn to play book it states under 'Maturing' that 'If a hideout is removed from the trail during the Dracula phase, dracula may mature any of the encounter card in that hideout by resolving the text in the 'matured effect' section on those cards.To me is only uses plural language and never mentions picking a single card (it doesn't say any ONE) or resolving a single effect which sounds like it allows for resolving multiple encounter cards in a single hideout.The Rules Reference book is more specific about it on page 10 under 'Maturing' by saying "When Dracula matures a hideout that slid off the sixth space of the trail, he reveal and resolves the matured effect on any number of encounter cards that are in the matured hideout. Then all encounter cards from the matured encounter are discarded."
>>45790797There's a pretty lengthy discussion on it here:https://boardgamegeek.com/thread/1466656/2-vampire-encounters-maturing-same-location-questi/page/1The consensus seems to be that although you can mature multiple encounters on a single hideout, due to the vampire card itself telling you to clear the hideout it was on as part of its matured effect, you can only mature one vampire card at a time. Any others would be cleared out as a result of resolving the first vampire's matured effect.
