Shit GM Thread, because while you players are awful, there are some really shit GMs out there too.
>GM advertises game as a destroyed world by demons and whatever and people trying to live through or retake the world
>sounds good, throw my application in and get in
>trying to make a character from a destroyed noble house destroyed from said demons
>no info or lore or anything so just make one background that can fit in
>ask GM if it's okay and if I can fill it in with finer details
>he just says nah you're good
>is there a map?
>he just gives me some random borders map that looks like it was generated from some website
>yeah choose a region where your noble house was from I'm still working on the details
>his username is some pretentious TheLoreMaster btw
>whatever as long as he can provide a good story as the game goes on

>me and other players make our characters
>he then tells us to create a shared backstory

The concept wasn't bad about the game show thing, but it was mainly adding to how it didn't make sense when the guy stole credit and treasure for what we did.

The dungeon thing was apparently complex, but he did not actually draw a map. He apparently just did a list of written numbers and what number led to what room. He just asked if we wanted to go left or right, but got frustrated when we tried mapping it out ourselves since that took time away from the game.

As a player, he was pretty bad too and generally did lol randumb stuff or thought roleplaying a barbarian meant not listening to people, using his phone or putting his headphones in to simulate tuning out as a barbarian, and also ran into confirmed traps spotted by other party members because his character had a low int score which meant that is what he would do.

To be fair cloning Christ and then harvesting his blood and maybe organs is kind of fucked up, though the lore implies it was under the sponsorship of God himself and otherwise Humanity would have died a long time ago. The setting itself is fucked up, but the guys with crosses objectively are trying to just survive and aren't cruel for the sake of being cruel.

Christmas edition

▶What is Kingdom Death?
Kingdom Death is a tabletop miniature brand stared by Adam Poots and operated by himself and his Team that later spun off into a miniature based bored game funded by two very successful Kickstarter campaigns.

▶What is Kingdom Death: Monster?
Monster is a Nightmare Horror cooperative boss battler/miniature hobby game for 1-4 players about hope in a strange world of bizarre monstrosities and perpetually darkness. Players take on the role of survivors that band together to form a settlement, fighting monsters, crafting weapons and gear, and developing their civilization to ensure survival from generation to generation.

Prologue Narration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNLc8dHv0Ac

The Game is broken up into 3 phases:
1. During your Hunt Phase your band of survivors traverse the world of KD in pursuit of their quarry.
2. After successfully tracking your quarry you will begin the Showdown Phase, where you must fell these horrific creatures in order to acquire precious resources.
3. After the battle, your survivors wander home with loot in hand to begin the Settlement Phase. Arm yourself by developing new weapons and bizarre structures to prepare for next year's hunt.

>boy I i fucking love this product!
>I sincerely hope they stop focusing on it and make somthing close to it but different in every way as well
Just give me more of whats good and not what we hope is good. You could do so much with the fights and events in monster that I can see the vision in releasing a decade of projects.

The unofficial discord has a good channel I usually get all of my expansion content from for decent prices. Pretty much only missing 2 expansions now while getting all the others at least 40% off. Some were still in plastic. One I wasn't looking forward to painting actually had a decent paint job on the monster and survivors for $40 total including all content and shipping. Problem is its pretty typical discord shit on everything else.

>>97274192
You realize I said Monster specifically and not Kingdom Death, right? I'm not asking for it to come to an end, I'm asking if the lord creator will ever fulfill any of his other stated ambitions related to the KD project and step outside of the confines of what Monster is. You don't need the attitude, bro, I'm merely discussing what's already been spoken about from Poots himself.

We are just legitimately on opposite sides of how we enjoy the hobby. Im an old man and have seen it millions of times: The second a company "branches out", you will end up seeing shit like diablo immortal. If the entire problem of growth is trying to reach a lower income bracket of people for a high buy in of a hobby, you eventually see where they confuse the two and end up catering to the "that looks neat" crowd and not the "ill buy it" crowd. The neat little animations and comics are a great start, but catering to every single "make a dark souls type game!" wishes, you ask to split the already very spotty attention of Poots. No disrespect meant, by the way. I just dont agree with aggressive expansion from a poor business man.

Yes, if it already has some good solo toolkits and you feel comfy with them then use them most of the time, but if at times you feel you need more depth you can implement another gm emulator on top of it to your liking.

If you find the new Mything GME 2 from 2023 too cumbersome and bulky, I recommend you to check the 2006 old version of Mythic, PICREL are the only tables I use from it.

You should ALWAYS cheese every encounter. If you EVER end up in a situation that even remotely resembles a fair fight, just run away and wait until you can rig the situation to your favor.

Use your fucking brain. Even if it is highly improbable for you to lose a given fight, statistically speaking, you'll still eventually croak if you keep taking those bets. Don't leave it up to chance. It's easier than you might think, you just need to use your noggin. It's not a video game. You can do whatever the fuck you want.

Just the other night my party ran into a melee monster in a narrow ass room that they for some reason decided to ram their dicks into until someone died. When I suggested that we retreat for a bit and lure it into the room with the big ass statues so we can all just climb them and shoot it to death, they looked at me like I just escaped from the looney bin. They all died of course.
