Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
I find it both funny and sad that there's incels for whom women are more alien than literal aliens.

>>97164532>losers who are looking for something to be mad about so they can feel something genuine in their miserable lives.Fuck you for being essentially accurate
>>97226437Don't bother trying to make a character that "realistic." You're playing a fictional fantasy character in a fictional fantasy game. Make it a mix of characteristics from characters you like.This applies to male characters too btw.
>>97228386>That encourages a highly pragmatic, practical lifestyle and outlook, as well as either discouraging empathy (because you don't want to think about the feelings of the orcs you're killing), or simply doesn't care about it most of the timeBased on my experiences with combat soldiers who routinely are exposed to life-threatening situations, there's also a 100% chance that the adventurer would be a massive slut. Not because they're a woman, but because basically EVERYONE who gets into that situation, where you could die in any day and you know it turns into a massive slut when they're somewhere safe. You end up just living for that day and barely considering the long view, if at all.But it's not ok for a man to depict a woman as an invertate slut, even if it's a logical consequence of the situation she finds herself in.

>>97237962Forgot to add it's a wizard as it's base.
>>97237973>it's a wizard as it's baseDelete it and start over.
>>97237962>>97237973So for 9 levels you just get longbows, Bladesinger's extra attack, and magic arrows. Then only at level 10 do you actually get magic arrows that do fancy things?What's even the point?

>play small race>stack AC as high as you can>pick the Mounted Combatant feat>sit on the shoulders of an exposed party mate with comparatively low ACWhat's the best way to implement this idea at various levels? Because of a difference in wording, this concept doesn't work in the 2024 rules, but fortunately, most reasonable tables still use the 2014 rules.
TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97236791Players might leave the tavern. They are interested in Boblin. Boblin is now either a minion of the important wizard or afraid of the important wizard.
>>97236850>As the players try to leave the tavern and exit the door they find themselves surprised to see the same exact scene before. Try as they might no matter how many times they go through the door the same sight stands before them and the Wizard stares at them.
>>97237225That's just railroading unless being trapped in the bar and finding a way out is the puzzle.
>>97238503You're right. The wizard definitely cannot have any agency or make decisions which influence the players. This situation is definitely railroading and not a consequence of the PCs actions. Nothing in the game should be able to take actions which affect the players without the PCs consent. How silly of me. Thank you for the correction, anon. I shall mend my ways forthwith.
>>97228087>How often do you feel you have to cater to party retardation?Depends on the group, when I play with retards it's only 80% of the time.If I played with better people I think we could get that down to a 20-30%, even if the party was made entirely of perfect players I don't think that number would be a zero, we're all retarded sometimes, even the Ref.>I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.Two errors with this by the way, greentexts as a concept are innately exceptional stories, no one wants to read or remembers the vast majority of sessions, because most go normally & even the majority of good or bad ones aren't to the level of good or bad that a greentext post needs to be. Most are highly specialised to that group of individuals too, it's the result of multiple sessions of build up.The other problem is that you think most greentexts are real.

>>97238555First of all, nice trips. Now then,>It was my understanding with the Explorer -> Pioneer change that it is the intention to turn Historic into Legacy and Timeless into Vintage or am I wrong in that assumption?You are wrong. Entirely different formats. Historic has a lower power level than Modern, let alone Legacy. Fetches and most relevant free spells are banned. Timeless is closer to Vintage, but they likely won't be adding the power 9 any time soon because they'd shake up the format too much.
>>97238596There are also some other Alchemy cards that create one of the moxen respectively. Also Tropical island is in the client but I forgot what card conjured that one up>>97238605Very disappointing that they would rather create a new 'pseudo vintage' format instead of supporting the existing one. With the recent Power Cube draft I hoped they would move more towards completing the meta.

>>97238622The average MD player is likely legally retarded like you observed. I'd suggest picking up a White Forest+Azamina+Diabel core in person so you can better practice playing a non-linear deck against more competent opponents trying to interact with you to build better sequencing habits.
>>97237935He'll likely get a retrain whenever metalmorph gets more support. He's the only monster with a metal form that didn't get a new version.
>>97238622>>97238641The problem with WF is that its weak to the same shit as Dracotail so anyone competitive already has answers ready whether that's in their side or main in the case of MD.
>>97238515Also, I feel pretty awful for not playing Vijam in a Cubes deck but he just seems way too slow to have any meaningful impact on the current game.
>>97238683Its a shame he can only SS himself from the backrow if he was placed there by his own effect. Otherwise you could just throw in a Millennium package and use him as a free body.
>says that thinning paint isn't needed>post a picture saying the paint looks fine>chunkiest shit ever known to menis this guy blind?
Are you painting abstract geometric shapes and not miniatures? The only problem you'll probably have is pigment not being applied uniformly and the fact that your paint will dry very fast on your brush. Are you painting miniatures? You know, from Latin "minimus" implying the existence of small details? Thin your fucking paints.
Looks good to me
You know, I’m surprised there aren’t consumer grade 3D auto painters yet. You put a model in - it 3d scans the figure, then you select paint shades and area on a computer, and then it mixes and paints to desired effect.
>>97234752But only using a GW brand autopainter and paints though, right? If auto painters came out some autist would be checking to make sure nobody used 3rd party paint (or god forbid, painted by hand models!) at the next tournament.
>>97234557>miniatures>You know, from Latin "minimus" implying the existence of small details?Miniatures is from Latin "miniare" meaning "to paint red".

What kind of fantasy monsters are you into? I like original abominations, standard humanoids/mythological creatures/giant animals are boring to me.
>>97228543I like where this is going. Other thoughts:>Large-scale farming would be difficult; smaller communities would likely have "village hunts" whenever a monster showed up, while larger communities would probably have dedicated slayers, either as traveling professionals or an actual military>Doing anything in the sea would be dangerous, as larger monsters could be anywhere and damage ship hulls fairly easily while being nearly impossible to defend>People will find ways to make use of monster corpses and byproducts (eat monster meat, use monster slime, concoct monster poisons, show off monster trophies, etc.)>Settlement defenses vary based on what monsters are endemic to the region (e.g. defense against burrowing monsters requires building on solid stone foundations)>Specialized equipment would exist for killing or deterring specific monsters very effectively (e.g. alcohol-based "thinner" bombs for throwing at oozes to dissolve them to death by reducing their viscosity, large portable bells/gongs for ruining the hearing of creatures that rely on sound, etc.)>Societies would progress slowly since it would be difficult for a country to reach a state of safety and security where it could support scholarship and research; once such a country emerges though, it might progress quickly due to all the innovations associated with funding warfare research>For living monsters, they'd need to be able to reproduce fast enough and on few enough resources to be a consistent threat; humanoids would exterminate them within a matter of centuries otherwise through violence and starving them out (this part is irrelevant if monsters spawn through magical means)>If undead exist, most cultures would have funerary rites that destroy the body (e.g. cremation); most undead would come from bodies humans couldn't destroyNone of this considers any magic that a society may or may not have, or that monsters are anything other than innately hostile to human life.

>>97237596It's basically the late war variant of the same U-Boot type. The main difference is the removal of the main deck gun (since they usually didn't do surface attacks by that time anymore), an enlarged turret platform to support additional AA guns and the addition of a snorkel to give the boats prolonged underwater time. also, there are some radar devices on the tower that early ones don't have. However, not all boats were refitted, many remained early versions until the end.They also had a special minelayer version and an experimental, but unsucessful variant meant to be an "aircraft trap" with even more guns.But anyway, as i said it's a nice kit and i'm sure Anon will have fun building it.

What are some things that retired adventurers in double-digit levels could get up to in a city?I have an idea for a faction for the next chapter of my campaign being built around five such figures who hold different forms of formal or informal power in the same city, and are still on friendly terms with each other. Each of the five has a successful business operation or other field of influence which may or may not be related to their class abilities, and they can call upon each other for assistance if they run into problems of any kind.

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=FNLc8dHv0AcThe 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.

Man holy fuck spidicules is just a garbage expansion. No idea how poots is going to fix it in CoD when he's such a fuckup and you basically have to replace everything in spidicules but the fight itself.

>>97237952Reddit drama is gay, but you do bring up a good point that because Charismatic is so vague, nobody can decide on the limits of it and people will argue over it endlessly.
>>97238359You're ignoring the part where there is a check to actively turn people into fans.
>>97238359Outside of combat you may make a fan of anyone you meet that does not have a negative impression of you with a DV 8 check. This, by definition, means that the odds of getting someone you've just met (that isn't specifically excluded from being a fan) to do you a favor at Rank 4 is 36%.Surprising no one, your impression of Post Malone is bad and thus you cannot be made a fan. Congratulations, you're a perfect model of a Cyberpunk RED NPC.
>>97238396Which requires you to get the ability up to atleast 7 to reliably do so. If not it's another barrier to the Rockerboy being useful, having to pass two checks to convince someone to do something. Thing is I'm not arguing that Charismatic impact doesn't have it's uses and can't be strong, just that the Rockerboy needs more abilities since it's sole ability has alot of overlap with regular Social skills that are much cheaper and designed for the same kind of narrative encounters Charismatic Impact is meant to solve.
>>97238359Did you mean to quote my post here >>97237098 ?If so, then the reason why is obvious: to make the 3x skill worth the investment.A lucky crit on Persuasion could convince an NPC to help YOUR suicidal charge by f.e. leaving a door open or doing something distracting and safe elsewhere, but it took Charismstic Impact for the NPC to join or sacrifice themselves.I know one can argue about it, but fortunately nobody in the playgroup questioned that ruling because it's just an obvious conclusion.Another thing CI did that Persuasion couldn't was to use "small group" DVs to "presummon" NPCs on the location before the action started.
Welcome to the Old School Renaissance General, the thread dedicated to first-decade, Gygaxian D&D, its faithful modern clones, and content created for use with them. Later editions (2e and newer) should be discussed elsewhere.Broadly, OSR games encourage a tonal and mechanical fidelity to Dungeons & Dragons played as intended by its creators from 1974 to 1983 — less emphasis on linear adventures and overarching metaplots and a greater emphasis on player agency.If you are new to the OSR, welcome!

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.
>>97235121NTA but it's a game about make-believe. You're telling a story together and everything the GM does should be in service of a more interesting story. If it's more interesting to let the filler random encounter combat end early, good. If it's more interesting to realize "oh shit I underestimated the party better slap another 50% extra HP onto this boss" or "I better give him a second phase because they curbstomped him since I didn't realize they were just built different" fine. As long as everyone at the table is having fun who gives a shit?And here's something: Not everyone enjoys what you do. I know! You have autism! Sorry for your loss of humanity.
a lot of the tips in picrel are neat, but they make me realise how much i hate 5E as a system. all these little hacks are things you just don't NEED in a better ruleset.one of the tips is something like>if the players are finding the dungeon too easy, put eight goblins in the next room instead of five, or add in a goblin warlord.and that's the kind of d20 shovelware shit i've always hated. punish the players for finding solutions. YOU know what's fun: put an anti-magic field on that locked door so the wizard can't just use a knock spell.i don't want a game world that 'cares' about me. fuck your quantum ogre, just draw a map and place things on that map.

It's a shame this thread is made by some subhuman shitposter because there is a point here that I agree with. GMing, in a sense, is a talent. Not everyone can do it. Sure, it's also a skill that can be honed, but you need a certain baseline of capability to start GMing at all. I'm not entirely sure what that talent consists of, though I think atleast 50% of it is being intelligent. If you are stupid, chances are you're a shit GM. But then again, I also know some smart people who make for dreadful GMs, albeit for different reasons.
