>>97258165Yes
ca/tg/irls, have you ever roleplayed a MALE character?(inspired by the other thread, because why not)
>>97261208I bet he could hold his breath for ten minutes.
>>97256921During my cringey HS/college Tumblr days I used to play male characters because I always said I was a gay man in a woman's body. Now it's like a 50/50 split.
>>97259127I'm a dude but my playgroup is 4 women and 2 men, and only one of the women hasn't played a male character at one point or another. One of them has played almost exclusively male characters.The thing they actually won't do is GM. Me and the other man have played less characters, because one of us is typically GMing, but we've both only played men also in the games we have been in, although I'm considering a female PC for an upcoming campaign (I don't like evil/scumbag characters and the next one is apparently going to work best with mercenary, money-focused PCs, so I'm leaning toward an orphanage matron who has taken up thieves guild work to fund the institution. Feels more natural for the PC to be a woman. Still a human though, I'm not a freak.).So anyways, the women in our group run cross gender PCs way more than the men.
Traditional games?
I've tried it, but I never feel like I'm getting it right. I'm just not great at getting into the headspace.

>>97261495They're going to powercreep the shit out of the cards so every competitive piggy, scalperjeet and sloptuber will HAVE to buy them.At least that's how i would do it.You're going to complain? I can't hear you over the sound of commander piggies buying up all my stock.
>>97263422I'm still not sure if it's super hero fatigue or the fact that the MCU has been spinning its tires since Endgame. If any fatigue has set in its for mystery boxes: people want resolutions.
>>97263516>M-she-uDead franchise. They killed off everyone’s favourite characters or emasculated them into irrelevance. Sometimes both. If we were still getting good super hero films people would still care. As it is the fanbase is just apathetic. And Tony Stark Dr Doom isn’t going to fix it. I bet in a couple years they’ll remake the original avengers but with more nigs.
The superhero fatigue is real.The MCU in the beginning was competently done and carried by actually good actors. Then they thought it was too big to fail and started putting in more faggot shit. All these stupid literally who movies with Mexican Namor and Kamala Khan no one gives a fuck about that they pretend are important while shitting up their iconic IPs. MCU Spiderman is almost as raped as Magic the Gathering.Spiderman is the most popular Marvel character by far and he couldn't carry a set. Spiderman was the most un-hype Magic set I have ever seen. Everyone was disgusted. Will the MCU set be super pushed? I can imagine that they will fear a repeat of Spooderman and jam in some giga-pushed cards that will rape the corpses of Modern and Legacy so you'll be getting shit on 24/7 by 4x copies of Tony Stark in Boros Energy or something and they'll just let it ride banless for 2 years because fuck you.

And healthy humanity is faced with an existential threat that it must either exterminate or cease to exist. And they're threatened with that in RIFTS, too.

How would you implement undead PCs in a game, in a way that feels flavorful and meaningfully different from regular PCs?
>>97256018idk, looks like ai to me lol
>>97257747Which system?
>>97257344>chiefly concerned with how being undead would affect ability to kill mobs for loot and not how society would react to the undead guy going around with the partyTerminal D&Dbrain.
>>97258774Dear nogames, when you actually play games, you need rules. The rules will in turn influence roleplay. You'll understand once you play a real game.

>>97262807I do actually. Best method so far is just "large breasts for her size". Might have something to do with her being a gnome, but for other characters you have to be much more direct with clothing options.

Has your character ever been in love?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Pr1_v7hswYour character RN
have you
>>97263546No, but that's not the point.
Do you prefer systems with a strict class-based martial/caster division or classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at it?
>>97244361hes just retarded
>classless systems that allow anyone to dip into anything at the cost of never being great at itThis is how you get metagamers.
>>97262029>game exists, players are allowed to interact with it in any wayThis is how you get metagamers.
>>97262032you can still make it harder to do so by design
>>97262029That has never happened in my games. Maybe you need better players.
Post amazing terrain, amazing tables, and good looking games Rules: no slop!
>>97252359You inspired me to make this.Needs more rivets and details on the doors etc but now I'm planning to make a whole FOB set for the guard based off a modular base container.
>>97258922I love this
>>97213658I too want to hear the deets on this, what have those trench degenerates been doing?
Anon from >>97227184First of all, thank you to everyone that replied. Secondly, I’d like to ask for any suggestions for interesting ME terrain I could build. I’m working on houses and a water tower at the moment, and plan on making a Saddam-esque statue as well as a ruined temple, but what else could I make? Specifically I’m looking for something that can fill a gameplay niche. For example, the water tower acts as 360 elevated terrain for a sniper, the temple works as a place for scattered terrain, and the houses act as two story/cqb/hard cover. I want to make an apartment/skyscrapper, but I’d like to things 1930’s or earlier and I’m not sure how common or what styles of those things existed in the region at that period.
>>97263429 You could probably watch some vintage movies and take some screen grabs for ideas.

>>97263302make them craft healing potions
>>97263438Terrible Idea: How about when you stabilize a creature it gains 1hp
>>97263493yeah that's also possible but it's a cleric with spare the dying, i dont wanna make stuff obsoletemaybe "as an action you can bring a stable creature to 1hp"
The concept of copying spells is rendered a bit underwhelming by the fact that every spell you could scribe is one you could have picked at level up.Imagine if you only ever catch pokémon that were starters or that you chose from after beating each Gym.If you want there to be rare or forgotten spells to discover, something I think is a fantasy arising from the mechanics, the DM needs to put in all of the work.
>>97253006>Charisma>ClericThey use Wisdom.
Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?
>>97248672>Exactly 0% of Combat professionals will miss a shot at point blank range against a target that's standing still. Meanwhile every single D&D character will fail to hit a straw dummy with a stick 5% of the time.NTA but you don't roll an attack to hit a dummy. You don't roll for things that don't have a reasonable chance of failure or success. It's right there in the DMG. Probably in the PHB too and nowhere is it implied that hitting a stationary inanimate object has any chance of failure unless we are taking into account extreme range or low visibility. Even if such conditions exist in the scenario of a shooting range with no distractions you can just use the take 10 rule. I would, and if that wasn't enough I would call for a roll or a take 20 depending on the situation.>Take 10 is only possible if you are not distracted.Yes. Because if you are distracted you can fail, spectacularly even, in things that you wouldn't otherwise. This isn't strange or peculiar. A short distraction can turn your every day drive to work to a fatal car accident. It happens.>Yes they are, they are even given explicit DCsSet DCs don't necessarily imply rolls.>There are also instances like walking across a 2x4 that the average level 1 commoner can't beat even if they take 10In 3.5? I don't think so. They will have to have a dexterity score lower than 10 and there is no RAW to achieve that on average.
>>97248672>Yes it is, the average is 10.5No it isn't, the average is around 13. With either 4d6 drop the lowest(PHB) or point-buy(DMG). Of course if you are using point-buy the average score is meaningless.
>>97253568Lul silly duck xd
>>97241961Actually go fuck yourself.
I think no one but practitioners should know exactly HOW magic works (and I mean the specific effect desired by the magic-user) and no one should know WHY ir works (but different traditions and cultures should have their own beliefs and explanations). This should be enough for the players and GM to inform the roleplay.As a game resource, spells should be rare enough to be special but available enough to be considered useful.Another aspect I very much enjoy is increased randomization of effects. Should a character choose to relinquish control of the effect (or forced to do by circunstance), shenanigans ensue, which is always entertaining.
