Tips for a first time DM DMing for first time players? I've played a bunch but i'm nervous that something will stall or they won't get into RP because of something etc. They're excited to play and willing to RP but obviously there's some barriers there
>>97182919Lean in on roleplaying NPCs, that should encourage them to similarly loosen up.
>>97182901>This is the main sticking point. You can't really have functional trade if anyone who goes to the city is hunted down for leaving.ah sorry should have clarified on that, the traders and travelers can come and go so long as they observe all the rules the dragon would have conjured up to run this literally and metaphorically gilded city, people the dragon specifically abducted would not be permitted to leave.I would want to have the dragon be an open ruler, again to its vanity 'yes this is my city, the city of a dragon, fuck around and find out'. But making the cult a driving factor in the operation of the city is a grand idea.
>years before I ever tried D&D a mate told me about some play-by-post forum game where the GM lifted a big plot twist straight from Deltora Quest which said mate clocked at the earliest opportunity and was a little mad about>1.5 years into a game of D&D I'm running and he's playing in I'm setting up the next arc whose general story I am lifting straight from Deltora Quest including that same plot twist>some foreshadowing has been present since the start of this campaignCan't wait for the other shoe to drop.
>day before session>sit down to prep things I know will be useful>come up with a bunch of new ideas and work on them insteadEvery session. At least the games are consistently fun.
The full doc is here (character limit) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2jOdevMru4qTWOGlOBkTlHQIi3OqSP76OzcLeuGPJ0/edit?usp=sharingI'm working on a setting for a game, by which I mean I've been shitposting about it with my friend, but I've come up with enough ideas that I actually want to run it now. Help me brainstorm if you want. To be clear I'm not intending to make this a "tg setting", it's just for my own personal game, but feel free to steal any ideas you want for your own thing if you wish, you could even make your own thread. Nothing in the setting has to make sense. The only thing I care about it is that it's whimsical and / or provides the players with fun stuff to interact with. I want to focus on physical, player-facing features. History, deities (if any), religion, and the like are not important at this time. Because of the rule system I'm using, no magic system is required, that's already taken care of. Here's what I have so far.By the way, don't worry about your ideas being good or bad, and please be positive about other people's ideas. If I feel something doesn't fit, I just won't use it.Besides locations and creatures, please feel free to suggest events, adventures, and characters. All characters in the world are talking animals.General idea : basically sword and sorcery but it's like a children's book and takes place in a holiday / dessert / candy-themed world. Pretty much an episode of adventure time.All fauna and terrain is made of some kind of food. All water features (rivers, lakes, etc.) are filled with milk instead of water, and milk has the inherent magical property of being permanently self-chilling, and it is always clean and safe to drink.Important rule : All sapient animals are "normal" (except that they talk and wear clothes). All non-sapient animals are made of food.
>>97176564Mallowmarsh doesn't have to be an exception if you use condensed milk caramel (or dulce de leche as you might know it).What system are you going to be using?
>>97177117sprinkles are crystals in this universe that form in chocolate caves. Some candy fauna/monster eat them to get covered in sprinkles themselves and gain new strange abilites.
Was thinking giant stickbug/manties that blending into a dark waffle tree forest would be terrifying.
Thanks again, I have implemented several of your ideas
>>97176558The document is just 1 page that's just your post.I'm not seeing any mechanics, only themes.Here: have some actual literal game mechanics in a digital medium:https://bee-swarm-simulator.fandom.com/wiki/Bee_Swarm_Simulator_WikiI think if you combine candy bees/candy Pokemon with your sword and sorcery then you'll get something decent.Also if you were a knowledgeable millennial, gen-Xer or baby boomer then you'd reference Willy Wonka at least once. Or if you were a knowledgeable gen-Zer with multiple media under your belt you'd reference Wreck It Ralph/Candy Rush at least once.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayjNuVCstQ8Here's a very very "nice" idea which none of these cheapskate candyland rip-offs ever have the jawbreakers inside their pants to suggest...Candy cannibalism mechanics. And I don't mean just as a joke with ooohhh you're soo delicious, no no I mean full on leeching vampirisim I have to eat my own friend to survive level of neediness or eat my own candy leg. I literally have to drink your strawberry blood to survive. It's like sex, it feels so good but it's ... actually far more frowned upon than sex, I mean humans don't usually eat one another after copulation, only insects and a few arachnids do that.Comment too long.

Why is Age of Sigmar so universally despised? I thinkthose rat dudes look rad, wish we had them in 40k
>>97182386Not him but WFB was already doing all that gay feminist redditor shit before AoS came along.>muh religin bad>muh wymyn gud>muh men dum dum>muh oppressive ebul capitali- i mean nobles
>>97182711I mean yeah, thats kinda what I was saying. I dunno, media in general after 2016 just got really fucking gay in reaction to trump being president sadly, at least video games, everything else was probably a reaction of the reaction.
>>97182614>explaining why locations matter to their faction’s overall strategyNone of the locations in AoS have any thought or care behind them whatsoever. You cannot do cartography or geography of this absolute nothing the "game" takes place in because there is no relation to anything else, there is no distance or space between places, it's all just made up "realm" nonsense with no physical limitations involved. 40k has planets and solar systems, WFB has states and kingdoms and empires and continents, AoS is just hand-waved fucking meaningless nothing. Anyone who cares about it as a setting is a retard. "How do the Slayer dorfs get to the Nagash realm? Who knows, who fucking cares, buy more plastic, tranny." That's what GW is saying to you when you buy in to AoS.
>>97182756Well yeah, that’s the problem I’m trying to address. Things are harder to define, so it’s harder to care. AoS should work on that to be a better setting.
>>97181367It's funny how "bloat needing to be cut out but changed entire game instead" led to flops twice for GW. Though they decided to power through it with AoS instead of letting it die like Epic 40,000.
Why do DMs love putting paladins into 'you must fall' scenarios?
>>97180635OOTS is to blame. I will not elaborate.
>>97180635It the cliche. Just like barbarians go berserk, or wizards go insane etc.
>>97180635Because most DMs don't understand morality and they can get a 'win' without killing character. It's seen as acceptable because they didn't make you fall, you did it yourself. It's a form of bullshit they can get away with.
>>97181260>now>not actual decades
>>97180635Sometimes it's the DM's way to make sure the player plays the Lawful Good character correctly, sometimes it's to make a good story (faith should be tested, redemption arc,rebirth, etc), or sometimes it's because the DM is a cunt.

>>97181134Same as with Ranged.
>>97181134>DodgingThis might have been changed, but last i recall, the Eva roll needs to beat the Acc roll.
>>97178455Here's a version from me:>6 BAPs with rifles and bayonets>1 Sergeant with rifle and bayonet>1 Modern Major General>2 Auxes with Spears and Ancestral WeaponThe gimmick is to make a firing line. The general lets you be fancy if you want but the main gimmick remains.
>>97181179In the rules book there are two versions of dodging:- If the Evasion roll equals or beats the Accuracy roll, the Attack fails-This action may be taken outside of a model’s Activation if he still has the AP to pay for it. During an Attack in which this model is the target, a successful (didn’t roll over the target number) Defense roll result equal or higher than the Attack roll means the Attack failed completely. A Critical result cancels the attack and lowers your Dread by 1.Also, I think I've missed thr "critical evasion lowers the dread" part every game.>>97181159So the units under the influence of smoke get +1 evasion and -1 accuracy?
Also, here's one for climbing. Can climbing units move beyond walls composed of 2 or more wall hexes?

Post franchises you think should be or should have gotten tabletop RPGs or war games.Considering how wild the 90's was, I'm legitimately surprised this of all things didn't get one, frankly.

>>97182125If they put people who would know what they were doing on it it would probably be a net loss and if they farmed it out to someone it'd be too big a liability. It's a lose/lose for them.
>>97174958Myth Adventures had a boardgame by Mayfair along with Xanth but never had a tabletop RPG, despite the books using Phil Foglio for cover art and Phil doing a comic based on the novels in the early 80s.Dimension-hopping comedy fantasy seems very much like something late 80s RPG companies would try to make work.
What ever happened to human male fighter posting
If you're a martialcuck and you're reading this thread: You are not entitled to do supernatural things. You are not entitled to be able to do the same thing the wizard can do. You are not entitled to be able to do whatever you want. That is why RPGs have rules, child, they are there so the game doesn't involve into infinity-plus-one playground-child-fighting. But you don't understand that. You spend your life watching movies where a little 12-year-old in a skirt swung a scythe the size of a car into a robot's torso. You grew up watching fast-talking ironic nu males talking really fast and making gay little jokes that aren't really funny but they're talking really fast and there are cartoons so it's funny, talking about how D&D is crap and why you should play this crap class over that crap class. haha we have to say crap cause otherwise our tranny girlfriend will get mad at us for swearing. So funny! No. You are stupid, and your faux-masculine "big strong guys" obsession is not only gay but shows you are probably overcompensating for a small penis. "Wahh why aren't martials good" but they are good. I've been playing fighter characters for years. My friends don't understand why. "Anon why are you playing a fighter they are such shit in this edition" because I enjoy them and I enjoy the classic fantasy archetype they represent, of a hero fighting the evils of magic. Oh wait but that magic is OP so I have no chance. And instead of nerfing it, you fucking fags want to turn D&D into anime, where you can't even play a proper fighter anymore because all your fighter powers are "I get so mad I burst into flames" and "I shout so much and go super sayan" or whatever other gook shit you've been watching/reading lately. Kill yourselves. You actively shit up the hobby and I genuinely enjoy shitting on martials when I DM. Because I can smell out you "I wanna throw mountains and kill LITERAL FUCKING GODS" faggots from a mile away. You're all the same.
>>97181826who hurt you?
>>97181826Die seething, magefaggot
>>97181847>who hurt you?omfg bro who HURT you bro who HURT you??? If you don't like what I like it must be because someone hurt you in your past!! Omfg if you don't like my human male fighter being uber strong with jap eyes and spiky hair like in my Dragonballz anime I watched as a kid that my mom put on to distract me while she went upstairs to get fucked by the mailman, and my character be able to throw entire buildings and scream super loud and make people's heads explode, and other anime autistic shit, then clearly you're just mad that your girlfriend dumped you when you were 19. Dude just chill out bro just chll out and smoke some weed bro! Who pissed in your cheerios? Why are you so mad? Dude just go down to the BARCADE and drink CRAFT IPA BEERS bro!!! and play OLD RETRO VIDEO GAMES bro! Oh look, it has exposed red brick walls and it has mason jars with light bulbs in them, that's so creative bro! Dude I love this new cocktail bro, it's named after Avengers Endgame characters! Dude I just love paying for overpriced cartoon bullshit and funko pops at the age of 34 to celebrate my vasectomy! That's why I love playing a male human fighter, because I have big balls and I can fuck the fat woman in my polycule for hours without risking her getting pregnant, even though she's infertile already from all the SSRIs she takes! That's what being a male human fighter is about, taking care of our polycule's son even though we don't know which one of us actually fathered him, just like how I defend the local village from kobolds, and I don't do it with a sword or grit, I do it by screaming really loud and all the kobolds die then I throw a wagon at one cause I rolled a HECKIN FUCKIN EPIC NATURAL 20.

>>97175174The triangle trade was Africans selling other Africans to Jews though. It's still the same semitic slave ethics of the Ottomans
>>97173633>it’s that abortion is common. I ultimately agree with you that abortion should be legal and available, but the sheer ubiquity of it now is despairing.Ubiquity?!See those scale models of barely mobile human polywags in my first post?!That's a six week fetus, fetal heartbeat detectable, so you can't abort it in my state and at least a half a dozen others!And six weeks is JUST about when a woman might start worrying that her period is late, AKA when she'll first suspect she's even pregnant.But these fucked up "Fetal Heartbeat" do FAR more damage than just slut shaming reckless teenagers, they also sabotage a lot of prenatal healthcare because at this point, there's at least a 1/3 chance of the pregnancy failing naturally, and that's without complications that may endanger the life of the "mother"!George Carlin said it best:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YpFYpoIwQec"They're not Pro-life, you know what they are?""Anti-woman!"
Although the Ottomans engaged in many civilian massacres, especially against Greeks (such as the infamous Chios massacre) and Serbians, they paled in comparison to the OG evil empire, the Hapsburgs. Pic related. The Hapsburg armies burned people inside churches and leveled entire cities. The Hapsburg empire killed more Serbian civilians and prisoners than the Ottomans in their entire history. The Ottomans killed and enslaved mainly in war time as collective punishment. But for the Hapsburg's it was every day all day.

>>97182909A lot of exalted anons are in the closet or the egg even though they're playing the gayest gameline to ever fag.Also infernal 3e lore is pretty great. Less edgy and they have more about its past and various locations. I really enjoy the civil war it had when they were all cast into Hell and I enjoy the sky politics. On the sad side they're not as edgy or transhumanist(or weird if you'd prefer) as the 2e versions, but still. Pretty great.
Why was XP for gold largely abandoned as a way to reward players?
>>97180501Yes.>>97180510https://youtu.be/GiynF8NQzgo?si=H3H8BdmK79UWIATmTwo guys with a time machine realize that to solve any problem, they can just remember to use the time machine later, go back in time to before the problem happened, and put some item in place that solves the problem. They first use it to break into a jail by giving themselves the keys to that jail that they'd remember to steal later on.Really bad players might try to do the same, where if they're in a situation where a specific item would be really handy, but there's no reasonable explanation for them to be carrying it, and they just will it into existence by saying they forgot to include it on their character sheet. >"Whoa, this guys a vampire? Huh... well... uh...Good thing I'm carrying 50lbs of garlic! ...It's not on my character sheet, but he'd totally have that. ...Because my character's Italian.">"Didn't you introduce your character as hating garlic and consciously trying to dismantle what you consider outdated Italian stereotypes?">"...Fuggedaboutit."

What pantheon(s) would you want implemented/updated?
>>97182108It can do all of that but trying to make a low power version of 2e without significant homebrew is bound to result in some major jank. Proficiency without level helps, but fucks with alot of basic assumptions about the game. Like the defacto rules for army battles in battlecry assume that half your army's strength is in the pcs and that level 10s can fight legions of devils on their own.
>>97182241That makes sense. I mean I don't mind the PCs being a significant force in battle as the heroes, but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.>>97182142Not an OSR experience, but less of the high-power optimized DPR retardation builds like PF 1e.Or even 5e. I've heard PF2e is better balanced than both.
>>97182267Oh, yeah, then the game is good for that. Even the hyper-autistic Human Fighter-fag posting, that doesn't even hold a candle to the nonsense you can get away with in 5e.>but I don't want it to be like they can face 1000 enemy level 1 guys and not even get hit.Eh, by design you will outlevel things and you add your level to your AC by default. So there will be a point where Level 1 guys can't hurt a significantly higher-level opponent. The game expects any encounter to max out on a -4/+4 Player Level range, so do be mindful if you make areas based on level ranges.But realistically this shouldn't be a problem. Just part of why 2e is a Heroic Fantasy and not Low Fantasy.
>>97182305so what level would be the maximum that the characters would want to take over another barony and need to recruit at least a few dozen men to defeat the lord's army?
>>971828817 is the earliest and notable powerspike that every class in the game hit, with 11-13 being where game's meta particularly shift and everyone is most comfortable. 12 is the level you are expected to have 16,500 Gold for the party (Pathfinder had a major economic deflation between editions if that seems low to you), so these are good expectations around when the players start buying their way out of problems while keeping up with their treasure and gear. At least in my opinion.This should give you some good degree of expectations. You can also look into the Kingmaker AP (and corresponding homebrew adjustments because the 2e Kingdom Management rules are legit untested and poorly designed) for additional resources in large-scale bastion management. You can also look into the Captain archetype for scaling humanoid companion rules, in case you want some guidelines on building officers.
The first one went... well enough, so let's try this again. Talk about weird monsters and don't feed the trolls.(Any accusations about Bog will be considered trolling unless the poster has actual proof.)
>>97151779>>97177011For my part, I like how the villain is set up to be the "woe is me, please pity my sad backstory" type of villain and then the section goes on to explain why the villain is fundamentally irredeemable. Not because of traditional demon lord-style malice, but because it not just thinks but probably is, at least in terms of raw computational capacity, smarter than every other character in the setting and will essentially throw a hissy fit at anyone who disagrees. It does make me wonder what a total victory over IS even looks like, though. I guess if you smash every unit it sends out, the thing is just stuck somewhere seething until more suckers come over to be converted? Is there a central CPU you can break, or can you make a (very crude) computer virus to hijack it?
>>97177895find its central hub and use a flesh-based orbital laser on it. then find its backups and do it again
>>97177895It's basically what if you gave any of the NEET schizo manchildren that have polluted this site (and others) into the ground godlike power and hyperintelligence. Technically sapient, but so utterly subhuman in behavior and mindset that they'd sooner see the world burn than accept that people with opinions separate from themselves can even exist.
>>97180958bog, go home you're drunk
>>97177895I really like the writing around IS, my one detail Im not certain how to handle is their actual interactions (and their partitions for that matter) based off how IS is written It feels like they would never have a reason to actually communicate with a think tank, though I guess a AM villain hate monologue could work as a intro.
