I only host public games to poach players for my private games and if you aren't going to make the cut I basically start ignoring you in game.

I told people different start times for a game based on their level of flakiness and got them to show up at the same time.

I sometimes sneak in Magical Realm shit like the party being hunted by brown Amazons who think they'd father strong daughters.

I sometimes run games in secret because I don't want to hurt the feelings of friends whose playstyle I hate or think their personalities would clash with those of my favorite players.

I don't consider online games real RPGs. It's like the equivalent of condom sex with a woman you find unattractive. You didn't have sex, you fapped into another person and your subconscious knows it.

Whenever someone here asks for a system recommendation, I always suggest 5e. Especially if it's a modern game. I've also noticed that I'm not the only one who does it.
Awesome.

Ive lied about 80% of my dice throws over discord, even the bad roles are made up if it helps with the narrative make more sense. I just want to roleplay a fun story, not constantly die.

I periodically save and re-post AIslop pictures because people are incapable of not sperging about them and that makes me chuckle

You're missing the point of Escude, it's not a weapon, it's a failsafe to prevent a one-sided genocide. The entire reason for the existence of the Hero System is to have a single invincible force that can stop the demon king from wiping out the protagonist race (humans), growing in power the more souls are in the cycle of reincarnation.

It's canon to my own setting that the entire thing is one big quasi-simulation (not in the Star Ocean or Matrix sense but more in the Disgaea or Rance sense where the game mechanics are part of the universe), to speak from experience; if you have to ask how to do this, don't bother, wait until you actually come to the idea naturally. It makes for interesting lore, but it's very difficult to write a game around it.

My own setting has a plethora of "Admin Tools" like Escude and "Moderators" who function as godslayers in order to maintain the boundaries between the different worlds. It would be akin to a freeform roleplay forum user yelling nasty words at the site admin, or trying to shout down a banhammer.

If you insist on it, take the advice of the anons who are telling you to have Escude and its wielder be a threat to humanity. It will make for a far more interesting game.

It's not an auto-win, but at 80 percent of human dead it does become a God destroying overpowered holy fuck you fucking win tool. Thing is, while in game this comes at a terrible cost, I can't really have the players care about 80 percent of NPCs dying cause that's abstract to them.
>>97284707
Great idea, thanks! That's the dilemma. I could even make it a sort of mystery where they try to figure out who has been sabotaging the defenses allowing people to die and what not

>>97284818
30 percent of the world's current population relative to when he picked up the sword. So if the population is a million when he picks it up, 300,000 people have to die, not sure if it's net or margin

>>97285425
As most other have pointed out, there's a dedicated general for the format because it's very detached from the rest of the game as it's basically a party game and a reason for people to socialize rather than play magic. I also wouldn't recommend it as the entry point but it sounds like that's all your friends are going to play so whatever.
Most people get thrown the krenko deck to start because it's beyond braindead easy and considering you play stuff like PTCG and HS that sounds about your speed. Get your feet wet with it but don't become too attatched to it as you'll likely get bored of it fairly quickly.

It's not that I ever had the actual thought that it is impossible for any art director to fail to draw pizza but seeing these lands I realized it was possible. I agree with you it is among the most embarrassing things they've ever done.

I can't actually believe a billion dollar company would let something like this happen. I understand there's a reason behind drawing someone in a mechawheelchair fighting off Phyrexians or pirates but this... is he pulling pizza out of the beach or something? Has this fucking art director never eaten fucking pizza before; nobody fucking holds pizza like that.

Can you please tell me your plan, so that I can understand your list? Most specifically how you'll decide which side the Praetor goes. What makes him go left instead of right.
Regular power swords, in this economy?

>>97286025
The plan is to have a solid gunline shoot the hell out if the enemy while the Assault squads and terminstors get up close and smash the enemy to bits

I personally don't think bayonets are worth the points investment. Consider redistributing those points into something else.

Its hard to do it with campaign games as youll likely be upgrading or swapping equipment on units as the campaign progresses, so I just stick to something that can be approximated. Like ill make a model with a 1 handed sword, but in the profile I can just say its a 2 handed sword when I pay to swap the weapon out,, or a bolt action rifle is a semi auto rifle if I swap it out.

Its why its good to have a theme or intended upgrade path for units so you have something to model around. Remember, you really need about 20 models in reality for this, youll be adding and upgrading units over time.

That's cool that he still comes over and plays on occasion, even if it's just with starters. Life can really get in the way when we get older (I turned 40 yesterday, which just feels weird), and I'm thankful that my friends and I can still find time for our hobby on occasion.
We might try Sorcery at some point if any of our LGS decide to stock it. The real issue is finding time. We have so many fun games we have decks for already, and a handful that we haven't even learned to play yet.
I hope you and your brother have fun with Sorcery! Sounds like he found a great gift for the two of you to share.

Without a doubt.

First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date. I'm years off from turning 40, but it's nearer than I want to admit.
>The real issue is finding time.
That's the biggest game killer of all, making schedules and locations line up perfectly so game jams can commence. I pine for the days of having a whole weekend just for gaming, but with how busy things can get, especially during the holidays, it's easy to have that game jam get pushed back months at a time. What's important is keeping at it, and not letting the dust settle so hard it just kills your drive to try new things.

>>97285733
>First off, happy birthday. Hell of a date.
Thank you. And yeah, the date certainly made for some interesting birthday parties in my youth.
It's definitely a challenge sometimes to get together, but if we plan well enough in advance it usually works. We just have to put in a bit of effort and enjoy it when the opportunities arise. It's nice that we have the internet to connect us, but nothing beats getting together in person, even when it's not as often as we'd like.

Serious Question: How do you justify spending on a game like Sorcery when your local scene is made of 4-5 people?I got myself interested in it, but I'm afraid of there having nobody to play with

I'd recommend Check Your 6 instead of WoG or or BRS. It's a lot of fun, there's modules for WW1, WW2 and Korea, and it's quick to learn.

Does anyone happen to have Lasalle 2nd edition? I just seem to be able to find the first edition in the megas, although I do appreciate that.

It's fantasy dawg

In WEG' D6 Fantasy orcs, goblins, ogres and bugbears are created from other humanoid races. The most handy and large scale method is just burying humanoids to a cursed ground, which causes them to deform and rise again as mentioned evil races. They can also be created by corrupting humanoids through magical torture, and through evil races raping other humanoid women which results in offspring of evil race.
This is all mostly done by evil wizards who want obedient minions who do their bidding as long as they are given something to hurt or smash on regular basis.

You roll skill checks if there's a chance for failure you numbnuts. Just like every fuckin game. In DND for example.
OSR games: if you're a thief you get a chance to disable the trap, if you don't disable the trap you have to find a way to engage with the trap.
For 3.5 if you have a disabled device check of +20, you only roll for really difficult traps. Otherwise you have to deal with the trap with resources or saves
4e :skill challenges.
5e: everyone has a chance to disable the trap, but the guy with thieves tools has a better shot.
Legend of the mist: if there is a lock that does nothing if you fail the skill check, you just bypass it if you have the skill. If failing the skill check would activate a trap or summon guards, it becomes a whole ordeal that's not too different from a 4e skill challenge

Osr: if there's combat, you treat it like war and get unfair advantages.
3.5/5e it's a whole new game you have to play
LitM: combat has the same rules as challenges. Fighting some roadside bandits should put the same amount of stress as a cliff side rock slide. Combat is like a 4e skill challenge

>>97285776
>4e skill challenge
oh
ew

>>97282512
I've always looked at it as "these moves are the only actions relevant to gamify." You can do anything in a PbtA, it's just that the moves are supposed to only be triggered when something is worth rolling for.

>>97283948
If they genuinely wanted to discuss the game, they should probably post something other than obvious hollow ad copy in the op.

I think it says a lot more about you and your play group than it does the game that you see abstract tag mechanics and think "obviously this is going to result in an argument."

Oh, okay. I was caught up on the other guy's 3-to-1 comment and wires got crossed.

I don't see Arc Light getting banned over Habakiri, though. They know it's a problem in every format, and it's getting reprinted in a set which is a death sentence for powerful cards. Being in a structure deck did not save Artifact Scythe, being in the Rarity Collection did not save Baronne, and being in Legendary Modern Decks probably won't save Habakiri. Or at least not for long after it's released.

>>97285971
You're right. Excuse me. It took until Yummy to be able to consistently make all 3 without blowing your wad on Arc Lights and not have a follow-up gameplan afterwards.

Also, it's not as though Konami hasn't ever printed banned cards in sets for fun (Branded Expulsion in the megatins)

>>97285994
Branded Expulsion was a meme ban anyway.

>>97285971
Herald retrain with proper xenolocks to avoid compatibility with other unintended engines like Drytron would probably be okay. I still think Habakiri is the reason that Arclight is considered broken now, but I'm not losing sleep over a herald ban either way though. I'd honestly just prefer they errata Habakiri to solve the problem without killing pure Yummy, random rogue ritual decks, or pure Mitsurugi, but unfortunately Konami doesn't like doing that.

because people in the old times actually believed in the stories about monsters and demons so when they inevitably appear they weren't taken aback by the existence of such creatures.
meanwhile, us modern folk have been brought up with the notion that science and logic disallows the supernatural. As a result, when the supernatural happens our very worldview shatters to pieces along with our sanity.

People legitimately don't get Lovecraft. It isn't being afraid of a fish or that you don't matter, it's the fear of finding out you're on a ticking time bomb, you don't know how long's left on the timer, and you cannot get away, ever.
