lands lead to mana and mana leads to spells, you'd have to be retarded to let your opponent's lands resolve

I prefer to stay lighter on my prep then most as I enjoy a chaotic game with improv. I try to fit an adventure across a double spread of notebook pages. I only write the essentials and let my brain only remember the best of the best. I focus on keeping things fun while also making sure I''m running something I want to run. If my players play smart they can make certain fights or plans easy for them, its a very rewarding feeling. I prefer a lot of socializing and talking in my game, but I fell that combat is needed to spice tings up, I want to improve on adding more combat to my games though. I compulsively think about game ideas and rules tweaks and what to run. I know how seriously to prep and run each game for different groups, some want everything to be serious, and some we almost all of us smoke weed and there is a lot more humor. But there is humor in all my games. I only consider what is canon in my settings as to what my players have seen in these settings, aside from a brief lore doc.

I recommend never playing high or drunk. At least don't play high or drunk while someone else is sober. People are not as funny as they think or able to get as much done as the think while high.

>>97248144
How many times were you playing a week? We usually played once a week with an occasional break and we didn't really get burnt out. Maybe they'll be receptive to trying a new system now.

As for people who only play dnd 5e, they will only switch if some big youtuber pushes another system or if you find a system that is about an IP they like. You might be able to get someone to play aliens if they like alien for example. Even then, be prepared to hear someone ask, "why can't we run this in 5e." There was a player I had in a 40k rpg that kept asking that and thought 5e would work for anything until he saw how the point is that it is easy to die in a warhammer rpg.

players are retards when it comes to puzzles

>>97248491
Yeah, we were playing once per week. I'll keep trying.

My players are upset because they really liked the 5E campaigns that I ran, but they don't want to play indie games, and I've decided to stop running 5E.

I even tried 5.5E. It seemed basically the same as 5E with a few noticeable differences. Maybe I'll go back to 3E or Moldvay D&D. That might be pretty cool.

In any case, I just wish players would see that the system is there just to facilitate the play between the people at the table. It's possible to have a great game without having to copy Matt Mercer, and different systems allow you to do some things that you can't do in 5E.

To be honest, even when I was running 5E, I was only loosely adhering to the rules and the players seemed to enjoy it.

How much you wanna invest in dealing with vehicles? Lascannon castraferrum is a medium vehicle killer at best. If you want a dreadnought than can kill land raiders at range you need a deredeo with arachnus lascannons.

I really just want a boxnaught that can do *something* good.Or maybe even a contemptor but whatever. Really my problem is my list is too scattered about and I need to focus in certain things

Can't really go wrong with a mortis boxnought, doesn't even really matter what ranged weapons you give it. If you really need something to kill terminators one with twin gravis plasma cannons is probably one of the better choices.

So basically what I assumed. And this transience is one of the reasons I don't use discord.

>>97250099
It could be worse. IIRC, depending on your country of origin, it's 2-3 years or so of inactivity before they blast your account. Given that things like Discord are usually used with great frequency by its users, like many other social media platforms, it would be pretty unusual for someone to completely stop using it for actual years. Generally, they would either have completely given up on the platform, been unable to use it for some reason (perhaps imprisonment), or deceased.

>>97249612
Yeah this is the most likely outcome unfortunately. Even friends who are deep in wage slavery will still check in once in a while. If he trooned out and liked you he would have said something.

>my players say they love my campaign
You're doing something right.
>but im fucking tired
>it just feels like im trying to do something and never quite getting there
Sounds like you're a perfectionist. This isn't a hobby in which perfectionism is going to be particularly rewarding. As a DM, you'll never be able to run the perfect session because players will reach different conclusions than you expected. As a player, you'll never have enough time to reach the perfect plan, and the rest of the table will get annoyed with you if you try to get there.
>and i dont wanna prep or at least not games
>i wanna imagine something else making encounters plots etc
>or just restart the same campaign with new players to perfect it further
>but not have to deal with the actual game at the same time
Again, your game will never be perfect. If you don't enjoy prepping the game, find a way to run with low preparation. If you're unsatisfied with the results, it may simply be that you don't enjoy DMing.
>i just wanna improv and go with the flow and see where things land
>but these idiots always have the dumbest ideas too
Yeah, you just don't enjoy DMing. The utter idiocy of player ideas and watching them scramble to right a ship that they themselves capsized in calm waters is one of the greatest joys of a DM.
>and there's clearly a "that guy" that I should kick but he has never really done anything wrong he's just cognitively limited

>does anyone know this feel is anyone actually happy being a dm?
Yes, I greatly enjoy being a DM, to the extent that I typically aim at two hours of prep time for every hour of session time. I absolutely live for the Loony Tunes schemes my players come up with and the inevitable fallout thereof. There's nothing more satisfying than watching a simple, straightforward conflict spin out in a three-and-a-half year campaign because of the knock-on effects of the player characters' actions.
>why do i suffer all this doubt for some crumbs of appreciation?
Maladaptive perfectionism, at a guess.
>im a pretend normie with a faang job
Hey, one of my players is FAANG, too. Another one is a physics professor, the third is a NEET, and I'm an accountant. And that honestly has no real bearing on how we engage with and enjoy D&D.
>no sleep
That's within your power to fix.
>no wife
That's something you fix in a way wholly unrelated to your hobby activities, unless you really want to gamble on destabilizing your group.

>can dnd bring happiness?
Yes, assuming that it's the kind of thing that makes you happy. But that's not a universal, it isn't something that's going to be fulfilling for everyone. It really sounds like you're engaging with the hobby because you have the idea in your head that it's the magic thing that will make you happy, rather than because you actually enjoy it.

This isn't new
Lucas repeatedly asked Filoni to kill off Ahsoka before or during Order 66 and he didn't care
Filoni will make all of his OCs, particularly the underage chicks, badass force users which make Luke look like a fucking loser. Because that's what he is, he's that kid in the playground that pisses over everyone else's toys and kicks others in the face if they don't let him do exactly what he wants.

which is unfortunate, given that he is basically in charge now

good thing that seemingly some disney people are getting cold feet about him, how much longer is he going to be allowed to run around doing what he wants, pissing everybody else off?
surely there must have been an author or something who's turned down a contract from lucasfilm with a reason for that being "whats the point if filoni is going to retcon it?" right?

>>97256081
I think Ahsoka dying to Vader in Rebels was a good sendoff to her character. The student becoming a master before mirroring Obi Wan's death delaying Vader for the sake of her friends, another part of Vader's past coming back to haunt him and him being forced to cut it out
Of course, she got teleported to the backrooms and it ruined all that
Dying during Order 66 to Rex would have been a good tragic death, if abrupt. Dying to Dooku would have also been fine, since that would justify even more Anakin's willingness to execute him

THANK YOU. This is a perfect example of the negative effects of flanderization. A newfag thinks "wow a dreadnaught is cool because its a stompy robot with guns for hands" and thinks more of the same is "40k".

completely missing the point that the core design idea is that its an armored, walking sarcophagus filled with a tortured quadriplegic zombie. THAT is 40k, but modern GW designers really just don't fucking get it.

>>97254299
That would work as a predecessor to a dreadnought. It would be the piloted frame that a techmarine would install the life support system keeping a crippled marine alive so he could continue fighting as a dreadnought. Someone just completely forgot that the dreadnought frames are pretty much lost tech when that was designed.
