>>97248146Thank you my dear, I'll take it from here. So what does my humble abode do? Anything I want it to: restaurant, lounge bar, theater, art gallery, lesbian SM club, you name it.The staff could finally relax from their bag-carrying duties, then something happened."What a coincidence." She came."You didn't think of leaving House Venus for good, did you my loves?", she hissed.The Venus in Furs herself, at the height of her power with the Amur leopard coat and a groveling Prince on a leash for a date in Rome.This is far from the first time she shows up at our club uninvited, but I've never been so offended in my whole existence.Comment too long.

When I come home I expect a battle plan to share with the competent authorities for a coordinated counter-offensive.>>97248173>she hissed.Ahahahaha!>The Venus in Furs herself, at the height of her power with the Amur leopard coat and a groveling Prince on a leash for a date in Rome.You can tell a Ventrue typed this, what a proficient adulator you are, sweetheart, I feel my authority radiate from the screen! Let the readers join me as I bask in my own glory!>Worst of all was how aroused I was by her smug, self-satisfied face.Aroused? Yes you are~ Yes you are~ My wittle baby loves her Mamma~>for the record I'm even thankful to themThankful indeed, as you must be.>I only wish this hostile takover by my girlfriend's sire wasn't a part of it.You can wipe her tears and your own with that king's ransom in euros the Prince gave us.I had quite the giggle reading your message, your writing never misses.

Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle. If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.
>>97239967Pepperoni Farts are Useless.Everyone I know who posts pepperoni fart webms is a fucking terrible brapper. I've never fully ripped one and I am widely considered the best brapper out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to rip greasy farts. People borderline fall asleep to the pepperoni farts others brap. There's also no tension because they know that these pepperoni acolytes will rip pepperoni farts until all it smells like is the inside of a Little Caesar's.If you're a good brapper, it's an inmate talent you can hone like a shiv. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty food is going to make up for your lack of stinky braps. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" pepperoni farting is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous brapper. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at brapping. Hell, most of them suck at sniffing, but at least in that case the brap depends less on them.
>>97239844None of that explains how Matt Covilles DMing advice actually makes someone a better DM.
>>97239239>Still can't help but feel like you are fooling yourselves with the dice rolling to begin with if you're just not gonna listen to it.You're an extremist retard who's acting like every single roll is going to be fudged. They won't. It's another tool in the GM's toolkit.
>>97232246I dont think that's quite it. It's more that good GMs are more likely to go looking for advice and tips even though they already do things well. Bad GMs just want validation.So you wind up with 'advice' videos that aren't advice, just some gimmick about why you'll totes get validation if you, say, throw out your combat grid. This, incidentally, just so happens to be less effort for the GM.
>>97232874Mods covering for the spammers as usual, I see.
This is a second OSRG, seperate from the main osrg thread, where you CAN talk about 2e, retroclones, and any osr content you want.This is different than the regular osrg as due to rampant trolling from a handful of bad actors, discussion is impossible.PREVIOUS THREAD>>97206318
>>97247873Night Below isn't Ravenloft/Dark Sun, but it's a big adventure with huge sandbox sections, including almost immediately from the start. There's 3 books, but a group could play a whole campaign's worth of sandbox adventures just in the first book alone.
>>97247905That is fucking cool, I didn't know about that book.Thanks.
>>97226914Can you share your STL's on thingiverse or something when you are done?
>>97247905how is night below? never heard of this before, do tell.
>>97247350>Your fun wronglol>>97247426If you don't have a lot of faithpoints and they don't regenerate on their own, they can be a great reward for completing the story, if that's the kind of play realy enjoed by players and judje. Fatepoints work even better if the consequences of falling to zero hp range from death to a scar, and with a Fatepoint you not just cancel death, but insteadjust increase the chances of becoming disabled instead of a corpse. In your case, you could probably make houserule? a simple wound system, that only worked when you spent a faithpoint. Ordinary mortals are guaranteed to die when they fall to zero, but heroes can survive this with a mutilation, gaining the opportunity, if they have too many mutilations, to end their careers by retiring, rather than going straight to the grave.
Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
All player characters are also kemonomimi.
Fallen angels are angels who literally fell, so safety is taken very seriously in order to prevent greater evils.
An angel's lifespan is exactly 7 days.
Angels are levitating disembodied breasts.

>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.

>>97161185>claws on either side of a gaping hole in the middleDo you think making it a werewolf-shaped goatse was intentional?
>>97244630That's what the players want, obviously.
>>97238639Speaking of: Do Garou celebrate Christmas? I'd generally think not, but there could be some outliers or ronin who do.
>>97248221Homid garou raised in a Christian society 100% do. Probably as a form of moot followed by a revel

>>97248201isnt luke considered one of the most powerful jedi ever in the EU?
>>97248223its just a mix of kreiafaggotry and headcanon, sheev is more powerful than vitiate and luke is more powerful than any old republic jedi
>>97248228>>97248223also vitiates power came from a big ritual, not because they were more powerful in the past
>>97246471>Boba>rizzin up shawtiesI'm surprised they've never made him asexual
>>97248228>>97248230Not wank, just observation.Yes, Luke was very powerful in the EU, but he was also an extreme outlier. And I've never seen any proof that Palpatine was stronger than Sion, let along monsters like Vitiate and Nihilus. Sheev never won a thing through strength, it was always manipulation and politics. And Luke being 'one of the most powerful Jedi' doesnt address the other assertion that the Jedi and Sith lost great amounts of knowledge and technique over the millennia due to wiping each other out over and over again. Just compare Palpatine's Empire and SWTOR's Empire. They were both technological innovators, yes, but the SWTOR Empire was far more advanced in actual Sith magic and techniques because it actually had a core of Sith researchers and academics instead of one Emperor and his lapdog. Hell Luke had to rebuild everything from scratch -by himself- after ROTJ because of this trend.

>>97242978Trollsoup.com had some of the licensed Epicast Eldar resin vehicles
>>97242978it's good stuff, and Foundry are the only ones with ex-Citadel production legit because they were founded by Bryan Ansell who got a load of stuff which Citadel wasn't gonna use after he left. Anything else floating about out there is recasts of stuff that made its way out through other methods.
This is from a '88 white dwarf.
>>97242978I bought a big pile of the medievals range to make a regiment of foot knights and men at arms for my 6e Bretonnians. The casting quality is good, details are as firm as can be for sculpts from the mid 80s, every part clearly defined and readable unprimed.
>>97242978In addition to the ex-Citadel stuff, there's a whole bunch of Citadel-adjacent models like Ral Partha Legacy and Prince August's dwindling stock of 1e Warzone models (Heartbreaker was founded by people who ditched GW in the wake of the first big management transfer, were originally making models for GW on contract, and there are a bunch of very Rogue Trader-ish models). Not to mention all those sculptors' own companies.
After about 8 years since I last DM'ed a game, I've been asked to run a session. Unfortunately my books - adnd, 2e, 3e, 3.5, 4e, and 5e are in storage two states away.And i prefer physical copies. Thanks to critical role and the movie DND books have gone up in price which is weird.>4e books are ~10-15$ now. Is it viable to run 4e in 2025? I don't remember hating it and I still remember some home rules to streamline combat to speed it up a touch. Does anyone have suggestions for 1-3lvl adventures or campaign settings? >4e thread I guess
>>97248073>My current 3rd ed group by contrast has a leader and 3 strikers which will be... interesting in terms of survival.Depending, it can be very good. I have a lot of 3.x experience.The problem is early levels, which require more handholding from the DM. I try to not be afraid of handing out potions and gear if it looks like their are struggling.In my current game, we took on an entire nest (25+) lycanthropes from levels 3 to 6, and it took all our cleverness, as well as some crucial DM handouts, for us to even survive. I accepted becoming a werewolf to give us the punch we needed to win; it's worked out fairly well.If you are ever in the 3.5 general and see a storytime about the werewolf elf, that's me.
>>97247917You don't know much about running games yet.
>>97248098Yeah, early on with the low HP it's swingy as hell but that's their problem. I did warn them to bring their a game and they're all experienced players.
>>97235255Use the Gamma World rules that were built off 4e instead of 4e. It was a much better game.
>>97248103Been doing this a long time, but I'd enjoy seeing you explain how I'm wrong about the game's assumptions and game flow.

>>97247288*level 13I don't know why I typed 11.
>>97247288That is exactly what any martial character should be investing the majority of their gold in unless they have a specific plan for never having attacks rolled against them
>>97247299It's really, really not. If you want to manage your money wisely dodging as much of that shit as you can is exactly what you should do. Even owning an eternal wand of Greater Magic Weapon or armor enhancement is still better money wise, since you can apply it to any piece of equipment you want. But having a party member with a spell is even better.
>>97247448Kk well enjoy getting 1 shot in every encounter the second your DM decides to stop letting you live to spare your feelings

>>97247438maybe??? I think I read somewhere what to do when things conflict but I honestly can't remember. If there is something like that the charm should reaaaally point it out for me.fucking christmas hang over i'm still drunk how tf is this possible.
>>97246135Couple of questions.1. Could you draw a path to what Brawl/Melee charms you consider essential for Solars on their respective charm trees?2. I've never really fretted over Legendary Size as a Solar ever, so this is news to me that it is a massive hurdle to overcome. Apart from the narrative rarity of Legendary Size (the average Deeb is sadly not a 15-foot giantess), the decisive damage cap part of it really doesn't matter when one is going all out with Invincible Fury of the Dawn + Fire-And-Stones Strike (or Fivefold Fury Onslaught with Ferocious Jab, or hitting something with all the damage added by Steel Storm Descending, or Trance of Unhesitating Speed + Fiery Arrow Technique + Whispered Prayer of Judgment).3. I haven't seen someone this mad at mounted combatants having severe advantages over those that didn't since the Jin Dynasty ate shit against the Mongols.
>>97248213correction: two of these aren't question. I'm also hung over from drinking on Boxing Day, fuck me.
>>97248213>Apart from the narrative rarity of Legendary SizeMaybe in the core book, now everyone and their mother has this in their back pocket

Thoughts on this man?
to be fair, using Pathfinder/D&D for your improv storytelling sessions is kind of clever.
>>97153793you know whats insane? every other member of critical role has been getting massively overpaid for playing d&d for a living, for years. and they still need things explained to them like it is their very first session ever playing. it drives me insane and its why i can never watch them. they want to be drama kids so bad but even still, they have to bog down every single episode with rule explanations, for the most simple roleplaying system ever. THAT THEY GET PAID MILLIONS TO PLAY, FULL TIME, AS A JOB. how does it happen? how? i mean they must legitimately be sub 80 IQ.
>>97228496I never managed to watch more than two minutes of critical role because the amount of faggotry was way too much for me but he genuinely seems like an interesting dude and is pretty nice to listen to. I guess that's how things are sometimes.
>>97248051this is true all across YouTube, in a way.>listening to Mark Kermode, film critic, on the radio>he researched, he watched the film, he took notes>watching RedLetterMedia, film reviewers, on YouTube>"You went to the bathroom at that point, but..."people who didn't even watch the entirety of a film are telling me the film sucks. and this is their job, on this nu internet. wtf.
