>>97238074Honestly the competitive only side of things has ruined most games beyond just 40k. Any conversion for 40k, AoS, or even old world has led to some people getting pissy. You get questions like, "How will someone know that this conversion is supposed to be a bloodthirster." I don't know, maybe because it is one of only two bloodthirsters in a list and is one of the largest models on the board.
Great group, mostly. Biggest problem is this one annoying troon who keeps trying to migrate everyone to her personal discord and act as the "group mother" despite not playing games a lot. She's a great opponent when she does play (Old World, 2e 40k, etc) but she tries to police what everyone else does. Nobody really pays her mind and asks her to leave them alone when it gets overbearing.
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.

What are some things that retired adventurers in double-digit levels could get up to in a city?I have an idea for a faction for the next chapter of my campaign being built around five such figures who hold different forms of formal or informal power in the same city, and are still on friendly terms with each other. Each of the five has a successful business operation or other field of influence which may or may not be related to their class abilities, and they can call upon each other for assistance if they run into problems of any kind.
>>97239349>Batman is an active adventurerBut Bruce Wayne isn't.
>>97237367My bard was once retired via shotgun wedding
>>97238917facts
>>97237367Plenty of inspirations to look to from other mediums like manga and anime. Get them involved in courtly intrigue, become competing merchants. Plenty of non combat challenges you can throw at them.
>>97243461If they're going to have a alter ego unlike the comics the alter ego should also have things that challenge them outside running around in a urban environment rather than have the characters exist to change into someone running across rooftops stopping crimes across the city. It works in comics not so in RPGs.
Then an executive saw the K-pop movie Demon Hunters and decided it was a good idea to adapt it into Dungeons and Dragons.Opinions?
>>97247387The movie was a big hit, ibviously it was going to have some people making stuff like this, but the sheer speed they shit this out at leads me to believe it will be even power quality than most 5e stuff.
>>97247390What the fuck does mean having both a sticker for 5e and another for OSR?

>>97248071I assume it's like Goodman Games where it has the Original 1e or 2e version of the module and a 5e version in another section of the book.
>>97247387>opinionsI've said it plenty of times before, and I'll repeat it as many times as it takes for you people to get it:D&D has always [attempted to] adapt pop culture into its pages, from the outset of the very first edition, for the sole purpose of saying "look, we have this thing you like, buy our product!"It has never worked to any serviceable degree beyond getting retards to buy their product; pretty much none of the pop culture references they've thrown in together would ever work together in the same living world in any combination, because they don't account for that. They don't care about making it work, they only care about taking money.This move is just more of the same marketing that has worked on suckers for about half a century. It is nothing new.
Is it finally over for scalpers?

>>97243892The corporate habit of calling their employees "family" and trying to foster a sense of unity is rooted in the deep-rooted instinct people have to seek fulfillment from contributing to their tribe/village. Toiling labor for a faceless corporate entity that serves no real purpose feels bad. However, corpo subhumans believe that they can trick the wagies into working harder and doing more than they are required to by trying to use that mental backdoor to make them believe that they are a communal group and that by working harder for each other, you are contributing to the good of the group and you are being fulfilled.It rarely works, which is usually why the backup plan is pizza parties and $10 gift cards, instead of payraises and vacation time.
>>97249285If it's RPG players: long and cold winters mean there's a strong culture for indoors activies, sich as watching movies or playing boardgames or rpgs. Also the modern RPG hobby effectively started in the region, in the U of M or Lake Geneva depending on who you ask.
>>97244539He means 'stores that aren't costco'
After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97247917You don't know much about running games yet.
>>97248098Yeah, early on with the low HP it's swingy as hell but that's their problem. I did warn them to bring their a game and they're all experienced players.
>>97235255Use the Gamma World rules that were built off 4e instead of 4e. It was a much better game.
>>97248103Been doing this a long time, but I'd enjoy seeing you explain how I'm wrong about the game's assumptions and game flow.
>>97247763Its really funny how random Dungeon articles btfo the entire first 1-30 Adventure Paths. It definitely didn't help 4e's reputation when the first year of pre-made were all unfocused and sloggy.When I first played 4th Edition back in 2011/2012 my DM ran us through Keep on the Shadowfell and The Slaying Stone back to back and the difference in quality was night and day. KotS felt so disjointed with half of it being bounty hunting a random goblin while also dealing with a death cult. Meanwhile SS was so open and let us make choices and all the side objectives weren't out of the way and felt natural.And who would have guessed but fat gremlin Mike Mearls helped write the dogshit adventure and he's greasy paws had nothing to do with the good one.

Which one do you recruit and why?
>>97226577>A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
>>97242569Its not really about matching rank in my mind though. Its about who does what job. And bishops are managers. They dont do the work. They oversee people who do the work. Priests do the work, but inherently statically and focussed to a specific place and populace. A friar conversely would be one that does the work in a more freestyle way. They have the agency over their direction, which is an essential part of being an adventurer. If they wouldn't have it, like a priest stuck to a building, their early roleplay would be about forcing them out. A friar is already out and about.Similarly, anyone supporting Charlemagne wouldn't see direct combat. Kings, emperors, abbots, bishops popes... All managerial types. They don't generally do the work. Even Charlemagne himself, a warrior king who led from the front a lot did so less and less as he neared the peak of his power.

So D&D players in the old days were coming into it from fantasy novels, right?It's just mad to think: the majority of new players today probably haven't even read The Lord of the Rings. They've watched movies and played video games.
>>97249122'fantasy adventure game' was a much better term. unfortunate acronym, though.
>>97249103I agree. Your post is shit.
>>97247920This is a near-universal problem now. It's gotten worse to the point that you have "fans of the fandom" types who are only around for the memes and fanart, but can't be bothered to watch a show, read a book, or play a game.>>97248025>playing games that were played just like D&D.You've never played D&D in your life, I'm sure, and now I doubt that you even read a single quest thread.
>>97249205Subhuman secondaries are a costant.
>>97247920I never got into fantasy or read Tolkien before i got into D&D. I read mostly classics Greek Mythology, Iliad, Odyssey, Norse Myths but i was mostly a science fiction guy before i got into D&D.
>>97211865how would a rogue prevent a monster from attacking a caster?
>>97243940Can't force an enemy to attack you.
>>97243949Yes, games are defined by their rules.
I haven't played dnd in 12 years and the last thing I played was 3.5But here's some answeres for you fucking kids without imagination, i don't care if it fits the rules or not in your edition of choice:>stand between the monster and the wizard>run and tackle the monter>run and tackle the wizard out of the way, grabbing him (bit gay but you would use your body as a shield)>run and tackle the wizard out of the way, pushing only>spread your bag of caltrops between the monster and the wizard>spend your smokebomb between the monster and the wizard>move in an intersecting, but not crossing, the path of the monster, as to generate a threat of AoO>use the AoO
>>97248784- monster walks around you and kills the wizard- monster easily beats your grapple check- this doesn't do anything, the monster kills the wizard on its turn after you tackle the wizard for no reason- monster walks through the caltrops and kills the wizard- monster walks through the smoke and kills the wizard- monster barely notices your pathetic damage and the attack probably misses anywayyou've really never played a single game in your life huh
>>97229548>how would a rogue prevent a monster from attacking a caster?placing themselves between the caster and enemy while standing in a 5ft wide hallwayalso i don't want to make a thread for it but i fucking hate everyone who hated on 4e when it came out and talk about the "bad math" no you fucking bitch you didn't play it you watched a youtube video bashing it. also every "dnd" game is just 4e but with feats instead of powers. at-will, encounter, daily is still a thing they just took out shit like "split the sky" because 3.5 retards wanted to attack and end turn like god intended or cast fireball because its big number and thats the only way they interact with these games.

I suck ass at chess. Like I don't think I've ever won a game of chess in my life. How can I get better at it? Is there a book I can read or a practice regimen that I can do?
>>97249013You have to memorize openings and learn why they work. And try to figure out what line of play your opponent is going for.
I'd direct you to a more fitting thread.but as this is bait so you can samefag and bitch and moan about generals helping filter out your spam threads, well, what would be the point.
Merry Christmas EditionHere is a thread to discuss trading card games other than the big three.>Build Divide>Force of Will>Final Fantasy TCG>DBZ CCG>Wixoss>Keyforge>Gundam>Legend of the 5 Rings (L5R)>Digimon>Flesh and Blood>Gate Ruler>Battle SpiritsComment too long.

>>97249876Keyforge. Your deck is only 36 cards, and you can draw several cards per turn. It's normal to go through your entire deck, sometimes even a few times in one game.Nightmare Before Christmas has 40-card decks, and you tend to have a lot of draw power from card effects. Also the game lasts for exactly 12 turns, which I'd say is a lot compared to most games, meaning you'll likely go through your whole deck at least once.
>>97249875Wixoss has double draw, which does complement the game really well due to the general lack of Signi summoning cost.>>97249838I am personally a fan of Yugi type extra deck mechanics, but it does run the risk of strategies becoming too consistent.
>>97249876>>97250537yeah Summoner Wars is 36 card too and it's common to go through the whole deck. rare case of a game with neither reshuffles nor empty loss, you just have to play with no more cards. ashes is 30 and draw 5 so you see 75%+ most games. lots of recent netrunner IDs are 40 card. hubworld is 30 I think. gudnak is fucking 20, and that's effectively a lifedeck game.
Trinity Draft art feels like (modern) Yu-Gi-Oh art on steroids and without Konami orbs and other such bullshit. I really dig it despite the lack of a single cohesive style.
