>>97404792Anyone have those comfy CYOA where you live in an abandoned world and it's just you? Or any CYOA that fits that description. Either you design or select what kind of empty world you live in, or you just live in the current world devoid of human contact for X years. I've seen several in this genre before but I can't find them. I can't remember... Please post.

So, dragons are popular for a reason, but what are the best and most interesting way to incorporate them into a setting beyond "big monster to kill"?
How can a monarchy keep itself from being subordinated by the nobles? How can the Royal Family keep itself dominant and not beholden to either the commoners or the other magnates?
>>97406203As the big good monsters *helping* the heroes kill the bad monsters. More like pagan gods than animals, really.
>>97406213There are multiple ways. One is to be an attention whore, if you foment a culture that encourages nobility to constantly praise you, they won't have time to plot against you. You can also consistently side with another social class that supports you and use them as a hammer against the nobility. You can have a secret police or spy force that it is loyal to you, and you alone. You can use parallel hierarchies, for example the church to reinforce your authority and by pass noble authority etc. In the end, it is a game of divide and conquer.
>>97406213A monarch who is broke is always beholden to someone. The most successful monarchs were those who secured independent revenue (like crown lands, colonial trade, or direct taxation) so they didn't have to ask the nobles for money every time they wanted to go to war.
How do Unicorns treat women who have only had sex within marriage, are they not pure for them? How about women who lost their virginity through rape?
>>97402509>The real question is can a unicorn horn restore virginity?No, but it can take it
...i think it's pretty clear-cut what "losing your virginity" is. the fantasy creature doesn't care if it was against your will or your fundamentalist American church "annulled" the sex or whatever-the-fuck.
>>97402614The hell you'd expect. For unicorn to un-rape the maiden with power of supernatural healing magic?
>>97403729Never gets a vaginal. Still a virgin at the end.
damn the mods really aren't even trying to hide it anymore huh?
Con/Health is a conceptually boring stat that should at the very least be looked at>Don't play DNDyeah I included health retard
>>97405199It's reactionary to the gooners becoming far more degenerate and open than they were during the time you remember. 4chan has always been a highly reactionary site and things always devolve to tribes, in some cases the pushback becomes excessive.Or it's just alphoomers thinking it's funny to say "gooner," that's also a factor no doubt.
>>97372108I got you covered: https://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/2010/13062465/
I do think that STR and CON should be combined if DEX exists. Alternatively, DEX should be seperated in an offensive and defensive component (ie AGI). DEX does way to much while STR does almost nothing and is a dump for 99%of classes.
>>97399769I accept your concession.
>>97405915STR is a lot more important if the GM properly enforces encumbrance rules. Unfortunately 95% of groups totally ignore them since it requires a modicum of bookkeeping which the average theater kid is incapable of doing.

Amidst the whole femstodes model debate, no one noticed that GW soft-retconned their old twitter lore"there were femstodes ever since the very first of the companions" vs "well they were the firstborn sons but then demand outstripped supply"

>>97397420That is better.>>97402865Are Gorgs still getting a book? Olms could use a Hero. Lost Men and La Ombre are the other older books, so they could probably use touch ups.>>97403326It seems natural to me that Lost Men's hero would be a copycat hero that lets you use any Colonial hero for cheap but with worse base stats. So, it'd only need those base stats and Faction Traits.
Finished my last Redcoats for the moment. I have one or two other figures to try for the British list but I'm doing more Muan spearmen now. These are both Lieutenants in game, with different abilities. There are two of them so I can do Zulu quotes while blasting Agarthans.Figured I would try my hand at an edit. I used a bit of a different technique but I think it came out alright, even if I'm not too knowledgeable on GIMP. If anyone wants to swap out the sky for one of the classic agartha ones I'd be all for it.
For the Eloi what unit role are they intended to have? I gave them a crack a while ago but it wasn't what people were looking for. Maybe another approach could work for them.

>>97405451It's mostly just chess. Thought it looked vaguely art deco & decided to throw that into the thread task in case people got tired of chess
Hoosier daddy
>>97403606>Alternatively Art Deco
>this is considered one of the worst magic arts of all timewhy do traditional gamers have such shit taste?
>>97395215Other way around. The art was giving to Garfield to use by his aunt, and he designed the card around the art. Four other cards were designed around the art in Alpha. Can you guess what they were?
>>97386938Stasis is a literal masterpiece. It would be mediocre on its own but its use for this purpose elevates it to a masterpiece, it is by far the most artistically interesting magic card ever printed
>>97404343The only thing I need to do for people here to say the opposite it's claim the art came out in the current year, and suddenly they just hate it with burning passion.
>>97386938traditional gamers are fat retards who know nothing about aesthetics beyond choosing the colour palette for their Warhammer army.
>>97404992I actually try really hard to utilize the color wheel properly while agonizing about color combinations and ideal tones. I am an average painter and I’ve found utilizing color theory can really elevate otherwise decent work.
"dude dnd artificers are so cool cuz u can make some crazy stuff like this and bend the rules to ur will n stuff"most crafting thatn isnt raw gets banned by the DM or just anything intresting or the meme that artificers can craft a gun. (unless they tell the DM irl how to do it)
>dm can’t do anything about it Oof, that’s some sad, slave minded video game logic right there. Sorry if you run games thinking that, and fuck you if you’re a player who thinks that. The dm can just straight up tell the group when he’s announcing his game and describing its parameters that the following character creation rules and limitations apply. He doesn’t even have to explain why. If you don’t like it you don’t have to play. Simple as.
>>97387856>unless they tell the dm irl how to do itYou piss on charcoal and mix it with guano.
>>97403545The game's balance intends you to have all your attunement slots filled, even if it's uncommon level trash your Artificer can put together during a long rest.
>>97387856Artificer were never supposed to make guns. Guns in a magic setting are lame as shit, get a bandolier of wands like a real man.Artificer can do awesome crazy shit within the rules & any appeal to pushing the envelope outside the rules is stupid at best & counter productive at worse. Why butter your DM up to let you make some shitty revolver when you can make a spell trap weapon? Why jury rig some stupid overcomplicated string loaded contraption when you can just use a wand with a spell that ends the fight from the start?A mechsuit like iron man? How fucking quaint, I'm sorry I breifly turned my self into a tree to permanently hyperboost all my mental stats beyond anything in the Monster Manuel. Then I turn myself into a bio construct that doesn't need to eat or breath or shit while still looking 100% human. My skin is tougher than epic dragon hide with a simple monk's belt (which I made custom to be an implanted jewel, or inscribed as a tattoo or such so it can't be stolen. I've poured so much magic into my physical form I can slug Kord out by level 12. I can rip your mechsuit like tissue paper. I'm flying around in an Indestructible, invisible castle, not some hokey airship.Learn to be a real Artificer, not some wannabe magic greasemonkey
>>97388168Its both really. You can do some truly degenerate shit in games with proper crafting systems entirely RAW. But you're correct that people having problems with op crafted shit in D&D is entirely a DM issue.
Tabletop RPGs tend to split up crafting into a high number of crafting subskills for every individual area of expertise. There's no question that crafting is still extremely powerful despite forcing you to go through this hassle, but what are your thoughts on which particular crafting subskills tend to be the most useful in the context of a TTRPG campaign, be it a medieval or modern or sci-fi setting?Pic related is from Legend of the Five Rings, where I'll be playing a crafter soon, and I intend to invest heavily into crafting. But feel free to talk about any game you've had experience with.
>>97399178Doesn't sound any more boring than "let's listen to the party face and GM make voices at each other", except at least with Shadowrun or Cyberpunk hacking, a game is being played.Yet sitting and listening to people making voices at each other is more acceptable to more people here than engaging with gameplay mechanics.Curious, isn't it?
>>97402073Nice sperg-out. It's very clear English. What exactly do you not understand?
>>97402351It's completely unrelated to what was being talked about.
>>97405433What do you think we're talking about?

>NEET / work part-time for years>run multiple games and constantly have ideas for new ones>become full-time wagie>rapidly lose energy and enthusiasm for running games>turn 30, become NEET again>think that I will recover my creative drive>4 months in and I still feel like it's empty inside my mindIt's like I was born with a set amount of soulful creative energy and I used it all up. I don't know what to do anymore. I'm going back to school and the local game store will actually pay you to be a DM, so I was thinking of running an open-table west marches game there but I just don't have energy or creativity to do that. I'm already running a couple of campaigns but only maybe once a month. Is this how it's gonna be for the rest of my life? How do I break out of this?
>>97404745>You just constantly had new ideas? Didn't pluck them from anywhere or get inspiration from anything?I did get inspiration but often I couldn't tell where it was from. I still go on hikes, walks, still look at new art and watch things. But there was this spark inside me and 5 years of 5 hours a night sleep and factory wagecucking feels like it demolished what creative talent I used to have. Not "talent" like it was anything special, but sufficient to be a good GM and come up with original campaigns that weren't just rehashing some video game or movie.>>97404868>What you are asking for and what you are saying you want to do with it are on opposite ends you can't have both without serious work ethic which you clearly lack.What do you mean? In terms of the games, I used to run that amount of sessions all the time. I would run 2 different campaigns in the same day, back to back. We'd play one in the early afternoon, then switch to another when our friend got off work in the evening. One was superheroes, the other was D&D-esque. I did this for years.>>97404945I live with my parents now.>>97405082>Especially if you consider NEET-dom to be a step up.It absolutely is, compared to where I was before.

Is your experience with TTRPGs more broad, or deep? Have you played a variety of systems, or mostly focused on a single one? I'm interested in what modern /tg/ looks like in this regard. What year did you first play a TTRPG? For the purposes of this thread, we're not counting solo RPGs or one/two page games.In no particular order, list which TTRPGs you have played at least one campaign in, indicating editions if you think it matters. If you GM'd that system, put an asterisk next to it.
>>97402542Definitely broad. I've played 3.5, 5e, Call of Cthulhu (5e, 7e, and the d20 version) Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Delta Green, shadow of the demon lord, punkapocalyptic, zweihander, WHFRP 4e, Blades in the Dark, Scum and Villainy, Edge of the Empire, Feng Shui 2, SWADE (both vanilla, and Deadlands), Cyberpunk Red, Shadowrun Anarchy, Mothership, Spooktacular, Unknown Armies 2e, Traveller and a few Fate varieties. Most of this has been one offs or campaigns that only got a session or two before they died, but there have been a couple of longer campaigns in there.
>>97402542I wouldn't say that my experience was particularly broad or deep, but i was definitely captivated by it early on>What year did you first play a TTRPG?I don't remember specifically but the first close approximation in playing with a ttrpg was with HeroQuest in 1994-5? (i was 8-9), at my friend house, i got the real thing in 1996? when my father gifted me the Dragon's Den becmi boxed set (picrel), but to be fair i didn't understand much of it. It was only in 1998-9 that i finally got to play at a real table in my town's lgs with a MERP group.>In no particular order, list which TTRPGs you have played at least one campaign in, indicating editions if you think it matters.
