I remember a book describing why you don't fuck around at taverns.
A Prince was doing the whole "pretend to be a peasant" thing at a tavern, when a disguised beholder who happened to be there recognized him.
The beholder then attacked the prince to take him hostage, but this caused so much chaos that one of the two old people who play chess at that tavern got up, revealed himself to be a kirin, kicked the beholder's ass, then scolded the prince for not having a better disguise.

Where the fuck do you get that from?
Up until 3e he was mister tall dark and handsome, and we know he used to be a mortal alongside Bhaal and Myrkul, who were presumably all from the southeast, given we know Myrkul was royalty in Murghom, and that was all long before orcs were brought to Faerun.

Not sure what card game to continue with
Was into magic for about 5 years but I got so annoyed with how little wizards respect it's players and the game. There is something fun I find about it and I like the social aspect.
Slowly getting into yugioh but apparently the community is awful. However I enjoy the crazy cards and have been having fun but it's a very broken game.
I've yet to try Digimon but I love the anime and games.
I want a well designed balanced game but it seems impossible to find.

So I'm finally going to run some games at a con this year, but I've hit a snag in the signup process: Which game do I run?

I made a list of all the games I was feeling particularly enthusiastic about running, took out stuff that seemed like a pain in the ass to teach: MY SHORT LIST IS OVER 20 GAMES LONG

This is big enough I'll probably get players for just about anything, so I want to run something I'd otherwise have trouble getting a group for, but that's most of the RPGs I own, apparently. How do I narrow it down?

>>
>>92813994
Yeah, it's probably the most unique game on the list, it has a ton of really crazy/fun setting stuff at this point, but Jackie Chan movies are the central inspiration for a lot of the game. Scenarios are meant to be a series of fights, but you're meant to be weaponizing the setting rather than worrying about flanking and whatnot.

While I love the Karate Cop class, I'll probably do something with the cyborg apes from the future for my one-shot if I run it.
>>
>>92799243
In an ideal world i would make some macro categories about game styles (narrative vs simulation), game dept (light vs crunch), game themes combination (survival, horror, mystery, combat, exploration, etc...), game length/pacing (one shot, whole adventure, whole campaign), etc...

IRL life i simply propose what i want to run and hope my players don't start bitching about preferring to play dee and dee.
>>
>>92800393
Just pick the game that (You) think sounds most interesting and has a playerbase. Our input doesn't matter if your list is this long with so many solid options.

There's a lot here I can't really answer because I think we just see thing differently.
I'm definitely gonna change the 8th level feature to fire damage, thanks for that, everything else is basically making a completely new class, which is a bit more commitment than I'm ready for based on the first day of feedback.

I appreciate the review, I just move slow, pls understand

Huh alright I'll check that out. Whats the jump called? Never heard of Blade myself.
>>
>>92826307
It's literally just called Blade, and it's about the movie trilogy starring Wesley Snipes based (very loosely) on a Marvel comic book character. It was from a long-forgotten era where goth was trendy in nightclubs, urban horror was trendy in cinema and protagonists were allowed to spout lines like "some mothafuckas can't stop ice skating uphill" with a straight face.

Also somehow, every fight with a theoretically unkillable super vampire ends with Blade injecting it to death after a gunfight that devolves into a melee fight.

What is your favorite class/subclass to play in D&D or Pathfinder, and why?

I like to play healing clerics, because it feels nice to be needed by your teammates, even if they are the ones doing the cool stuff most of the time.

Warlock, because they have alot of easy built-in flavor and plothooks, a good reliable means of damage output that doesn't rely on spell-slots (holy fuck spell slots are such a retarded mechanic), and still have room left over to pick up a bunch of fun utility spells for non-combat purposes. They're also Charisma-based, so you know, you actually get to participate in social parts of the game. That all being said though...

>>92815725
I'm with this Anon. Nowadays the only time I play D&D is when friends invite me. It's not a game I ever see myself running as a DM. It's mountain of design problems just bother me way too much.

Have you tried playing 3.x? The content-mill of that edition offers a pretty wild variety of basic mechanics.

>>92815947
PF1e has a literal Summoner class, while 3.5 has the Dread Necromancer and Death Master if you're up to skeles, and that edition's Druid had Spontaneous summon spells.

My friends play DnD but they have been moving more towards other systems lately, we'll probably get around to Pathfinder at some point
Idk if we'll ever get around to previous DnD editions though, it's not like anyone likes playing with Summoner PCs right now
>>
>>92815431
D&D 3e core: bard simply for roleplaying opportunities.
D&D 3.5: warlock any chance I get. At-will abilities, CHA-based, and overall flavor. PF's kineticist is a sad flickering soulless shadow in comparison. Weak late-game, but it's a fair tradeoff.
PF1 core: wizard specializing in conjuration (or necromancy if the GM's not a complete pussy).
PF1: oracle because I will not play a cleric or any class that has to beg some entity for spells. Also, the curse side effect is a great roleplaying opportunity.
PF1 occult: psychic because I like the flexibility the class offers and I prefer this version of psychic magic over psionic junk (although I'd prefer to drop the components aspect).
Other versions of D&D/PF: no thanks, never ever
>>
>>92820128
>A man after my own heart (in terms of editions of the game you like/dislike) so I’m gonna nab your format
D&D 3e core: Rogue for skill monkey versatility (particularly at low levels) - you always feel like you matter to the team
D&D 3.5: Fighter/Ranger is my common multiclass but I always start out as a Ranger and pick up Fighter levels later to expand upon my combat feats
PF1 core: Paladin - Role-playing potential, combat survivability and the ability to heal myself in a pinch if the party’s down/far away
PF1: I’ve a soft spot for the Cavalier - my first PF character was one and it felt great rallying the party around my banner and duelling powerful baddies like in a movie
PF1 occult: Mesmerist is fantastic for an intrigue character and it feels better for buffing the party or debugging enemies than bard/clerics
Other versions of D&D/PF: no thanks, me neither, never ever

The article is intended primarily for Game Masters who play games in systems inspired by Lovecraft’s works, such as Call of Cthulhu or Delta Green. However, I hope that other fans of cosmic horror will also find something for themselves here. The interesting facts presented here may also be interesting for people who do not know the work of The Loner of Providence, but some of the references may be unclear to them.
The article contains several anecdotes – either from real history or from beliefs that exist in the real world, and suggestions on how they can be related to the Cthulhu mythology.
So read about:

- Sea Peoples, bane of ancient civilizations,
- a forgotten Eldritch abomination from Greek mythology,
- Jan Twardowski, the first man on the Moon,
- mathematicians and physicists who wanted to know the structure of reality and lost their minds,
- one of the most mysterious characters from the Bible and a dark, occult ritual that underlies monotheism.

IIRC if you have already used up the 10 "free" heat sinks and need further sinks to remain heat-neutral LRM20 and the heat sinks you need weight less than 4 LRM5s and their heat sinks. Though the introduction of DHS changes that, but DHS kind of screws up the entire heat management system anyway.
>>
>>92824703
They are hotter, so you need more sinks, however a single ams can only target one missile attack, so instead of getting a chance at your whole lrm 20 salvo, the ams only gets to effect one lrm 5, leaving your other 3lrm5's unmolested. Lrm5's stacked might also work out for you better at harder gator. Since you get 4 chances to hit with 4lrm5 than 1lrm20 (yes i know chances dont work like that but dice gods giveth, dice gods taketh away)
The other benefit is campaigns. If your lrm 20 gets critted the whole thing is fucked and you need to fix it or get a new one. Lots of money and effort. One of your lrm5's gets scragged and your tech can rip it and replace it and fix the fucker whenever. Cheap and ez.
