ITT: confess your /tg/sins and devilish antics>be me, at FLGS>see some grogs playing a historical looks like maybe Bolt Action >approach and ask them where they got their Astra Militarum STL's. >handwave their reply, tell them I've been in "the hobby" for a while, I started two editions ago in 8th so let me know if they need any pointers
>>97283507I 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
>>97283507sometimes I ask my players to roll dice for a secret reason, but in reality there is none. I also like to insist on adding different colored dice to a pool as if they have a hidden significance, when in reality they do not.

>You all meet in the tavern of an isolated village. It's seven in the morning, and everyone is having their breakfast.>You see in the corner a young man in studded leather chatting animatedly with an older woman in heavy armor.>A young woman lets out a cheer as she beats a man of the same age in an arm wrestle. He wears a suit of gleaming gothic half-plate, while she wears a hauberk and gambeson. After the contest has ended, the pair enjoy a hearty meal of turkey and maize together.>An old man wearing a ragged cloak over equally ragged clothes nurses a cooling cup of coffee while watching their antics, stirring in a spoonful of sugar after an exploratory taste.>A woman sat on a stool by the bar takes in one last drag of her cigarette before she stubs it out in an ashtray. With that out of the way, she tucks into a pumpkin pie that is waiting for her.>A man with dark skin pays for his meal with several unfamiliar coins, before brushing past you on his way out the door. He wears a vest made of soft leather over a loose cotton shirt, and has a long sword in a sheath strapped to his back, ready to be drawn at any moment.>A young girl greets you animatedly and offers you menus. She asks if any of you were interested in buying some of the potato and rabbit stew that is currently cooking, or if you'd like rooms for the night.

>>97279180Hahaha! You got him! He thought the setting would have some sort of historical basis, given that the patrons are wearing armour and armed with historical weapons, but you showed him that it doesnt need to, as it's all made up! God, I bet you feel so clever right now! Do another one!
>>97285927>He thought the setting would have some sort of historical basis, given that the patrons are wearing armour and armed with historical weapons,people on earth don't wear armor to taverns, though. it would be a reasonable assumption that earth is not the setting
>>97285969Yeah, just like army men always get out of their uniforms when going to bars on Earth.
>>97285927Star Wars has armor and swords, but I'd consider anyone who draws the conclusion that it must therefore be a setting with some historical basis to be pretty fucking silly.>>97286386Uniforms are just clothing, and clothes are a lot more comfortable to wear when relaxing in a bar than armor.
I've spent the last year, studying, and designing a custom Arthurian set, originally intended to be based on Le Morte d'Arthur (like how P3k was based on Romance of the Three Kingdoms). However, as I continued to study, and look into different (and some obscure sources) this turned into a much more wider net. This set, which is no where near finished includes>Welsh Triads and The Magnibong>Pre-Vulgate Arthur traditions>Vulgate/Post Vulgate/Lancelot cycles>some English/Welsh fairy tales>and even a bit of the Victorian Arthurian revival (especially for art). I avoided the Italian and German romances entirely, and tried not to include weird outliners except when needed. Outside of art, nothing is sourced from the 20th century or onward. Also all art is public domain. I'm mainly posting here for feedback. Some will be art recommendations, flavor text (especially sourced) will be always welcomed.Comment too long.

>>97286053>>97286141Decon depends on what kind of bomb it is. A "normal" nuke is relatively clean because it's just trying to make a big boom and any "sticky" radiation would be because you've got materials that absorbed radiation on you. Literally hosing off the dirt and grime covers it unless you used a particularly poor choice of paint and stood around in the hot zone for a long period of time.If it's a dirty nuke throwing intentionally spicy dust all over you, then all bets are off and you should probably make everyone wear their space suits before you enter the mech bay.
>>97286153There were polish forces in the allied command. They even had an artillery bear, so it's not like they didn't win... eventually....
>>97286141>They deliberately redesigned life support to be worse for no benefitWhat an asspull, who wrote that
Bros should we still do maintenance on our NBC equipment or just say fuck it?
>>97285825Mechs can be fully environmentally sealed (they can operate on airless moons and worlds with toxic atmosphere), and heavily armored enough that radiation shouldn't be leaking in. Of course, that might change if your head armor takes damage.According to the rules for toxic (radiological) atmosphere from TacOps, mechwarriors, BA, and crew of environmentally sealed vehicles can operate normally, but any time the mech takes damage to the head or the vehicle takes any damage, it must pass a breach test as if avoiding flooding under water, and on a failure the crew is instantly killed. BA need to roll to avoid dying from radiation exposure every time they suffer damage.
Wanted to talk about advice on GMing, settings you prefer, and styles or issues you as a GM have. I generally tend to prefer dark fantasy or sci-fi settings rather than trying something a little different. I also tend to have a style, depends on the system though, where i have a combat heavy session or two and then a more intrigue/exploration focused session. I have been working on how to better balance games I run, but trying to tie that to timing a game session gets tricky at times. Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.
>>97218290>Another issue I noticed is that puzzle solving or investigative games can be a lot harder for a player to get into the mindset for than the dm. It is easy to think everything you planned makes sense when you thought it out in your head but the players might not have the same line of thought.Puzzles with specific solutions are stupid. Just put big-ass obstacles in the way of your players and roll with whatever zaney bullshit they invent to "solve" it. Don't even worry about having a solution planned. There's a giant impenetrable wall. See what they do. They'll go kidnap a griffon and fly, hire sappers to dig underneath, or raid an enemy army's camp to get a siege tower. Wind them up and let them go. You don't have to worry about "puzzles."
puzzle solving breaks most D&D players
>>97276278My issue is that even with an open ended basic puzzle, you get two people at the minimum arguing about how ever idea is stupid and would not work despite the dm seeming thrilled someone finally thought of the solution.
>>97283720They have been trained to expect penalties for wrong answers, whether in a game context or not: "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt."Instead try explicitly punishing inaction. For every minute that no one tries anything new, the situation gets worse.
>>97283800The arguments honestly even continued as I had monsters spawning more and more to attack them. Some players just get really stubborn over it.

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97281232>Have you ever checked to see if you're cursed?I'm just bitching. I managed to have an uneventful Christmas. >hopefully the others don't bother ya.Now that definitely won't be happening. I'm no vampire expert, but I got a cellmate who knows them a bit better than usual. He says that vampires come in two flavors: Smart with a low profile and loud, aggressive, and stupid. The former basically never make it on Hunter's radar and if they do by bad luck, they prefer to just wipe our minds and move on. The latter make up a good 90% of the ones hunters actually fight, and trying to turn a whole New Years party sounds a lot like the latter. I'll be seeing them again.
>>97281863That's good. One can never be too careful in our line of work. If it ever gets too rote in happening be sure to check for curses.

Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97285835Lovecraft was a product of his time: the things he considered sanity-bending only work if society isn't demoralized to the point of apathy.
>>97285745It wasn't just Howard & Howard, Lovecraft's Tsathoggua is very different from Smith's
>>97286024Retard.
>>97286287Smith had more direct references to Lovecraft than Howard in his work closest was probably one of the John Kirowan storiesBut Tsathoggue(in pic) certainly does not act like the old one as Lovecraft's are portrayed
>>97284782Then you become a cultist, and possibly a mad scientist archetype. You are provably entering the as-yet uncharted territory of a field that mankind has only ever previously accidentally dipped their toes into but now may access by means of apprenticeship/the scientific method, respectively.Your character conflict becomes a combination of social and financial isolation as you struggle to relate your new realizations to others with less flexible mental grounding. This carries with it a painful reality of how easy it is to fall into moral and ethical decay when the promise of each new discovery unraveling some prior assumption about life finally hits home, and you stop seeing society and psychology as solid, immutable forces that cannot be bent with sufficient genius.Ultimately, those who delve into the eldritch truth must struggle with not losing sight of everything else.

>>97285660>>97286069If the difference is literally only a +1, it's not a feature valuable enough to be worth arguing in favor of.But you're rather disingenuously ignoring the fact that most martial weapons from Pact of the Blade and Bladesinger will be Strength-based, with the warlock or wizard not having any reason to have 16 Strength. So the bonus here isn't just the difference between 16 Dex and 18 Int/Cha, but also the gap between fairly substandard finesse weapons and the solid Strength-based options.
>>97286163>BladesingerBladesinger can't use two-handed weapons with bladesong, so there's little to no reason to not simply use a Rapier or other Dex options. >Pact of the BladeThe 2024 rules would require a Warlock to have 13 Strength anyway in order to use any Heavy Strength-based weapon, which are the only thing you'd be missing out on. Not much more investment to go from 13 to 14, at which point it's a difference of +1 between that and 16 Charisma.>it's not a feature valuable enough to be worth arguing in favor of.Likewise, it's not a feature impactful enough to complain about being bad design. At least, not if the complaint is purely that a subclass or optional feature is making a melee variant of a class 5% better with melee weapons than they would be if that feature didn't exist.
yeah i think instead of doing prep for my game on saturday im going to work on my unrelated homebrew instead.
even if somehow using the physical stat was better mathematically than using the mental stat, it would still be stupid. It's not about balance, but about a system that models things in a consistent way
>>97286271This but I'll be playing runescape instead
Is it a good advice for game masters who want to run campaign in the "exotic" place instead of generic "coast of swords" clone?

I WILL have sex with the fantasy savage tribal women
>>97270237What are the consequences if I reject this advice and play it like some racist 1930s Sword and Sorcery yarn straight out of Conan? Would I get cancelled from the Pathfinder community? Would I get a cease and desist from Paizo? Would I get banned on Bluesky?
>>97270429>>97284794>>97282969>>97285991Just face the facts that Paizo doesn't want your chud-asses playing their games. If you want to play racist colonizers then go play some stupid and lame OSR game with the rest of the grognards. Welcome to the dustbin of history, motherfucker.
