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
>>97255806>Dragonborn were the defacto Paladin raceThat's a good point. Either or works honestly. But yeah, you can tell they tried to make race/class combos with the books.
>>97255672They actually talked about this is the Wizard's Presents 4th Edition books. While the other anons are correct on the Race/Class combo thing there were other reasons. Tieflings replaced Gnomes because Gnomes were wildly unpopular and Tieflings, at least on the D&D forums (rip in peace), were insanely popular. Like more popular than Elves. So they got the slot. Dragonborn were more of "We keep getting emails about playing a dragon in Dungeons and DRAGONS so we made sure there were dragon people in the first book so we could say yes" and they didn't want to double up on warrior races so Half Orcs got nudged to be with Barbarian in PHB2.
>>97254633To be fair to Runepriest, what it got was pretty good. It just didn't get enough.
>>97256142Runepriest mostly suffered from the "taxes" issue. He handed out like double the amount of gribbly little bonuses of every other Leader while completely lacking the positioning or action granting of others. They did have an interesting gimmick where their "heal" could be spent to not heal and instead just give the buff if you wanted to alpha strike hard and not spend surges.Also one of the builds being Str/Con. Gross. Serene Blade should have been the standard design ideal of all the Runic Artistries instead of the later fixed one. Really it shouldn't have been a Strength class. Wis or Con should have been its primary with finding a way to slip Int in there as a Secondary so it wouldn't be so bad at Religion for flavor reasons.
>>97256225>so it wouldn't be so bad at ReligionEvery divine class is shit at religion.

>>97257277The lore is easy to grasp at a surface level, and retarded but unimportant otherwise.Once upon a time there was a Star League. Some fat shit advisor from the edge of known space betrayed the First Lord in a palace coup. General Kerensky and the Star League loyalists kicked his ass, but were then so butthurt by the Great Houses having no interest in giving a shit that Kerensky took a big chunk of the army and fucked off. The Great Houses were: Space Viking Japan, Space Anglo-French, Space Russo-China, Space Balkans pretending to be the HRE, and Space WWI Germany.The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Succession Wars blew up everybodys engineering and physics text books, helped by the meddling of Space AT&T.The 4th Succession War happened when some mercenaries found a pile of textbooks that had not been nuked, so now war was fun again. The Space Germans and the Space Anglo-French made a super alliance in the name of peace and then immediately raped the Space Russo-Chinese. Space AT&T was mad about this for reasons, and helped create a buffer state between the Space Germans and Space Japanese by giving the Space Vikings independence.Then the ancestors of Kerensky's Star League army showed up as Space Mongols and they had a weird society of tribal totalitarianism but everybody* forgave the writers for this because omnimechs and battle armor is totally rad. Anyway, war was now even more fun, so there was even more of it. They made a 2nd Star League that was more or less just an alliance to not be buttfucked by the Clans, and as soon as they fixed that they went back to hating each other, and the Space Anglo-French and Space WWI Germans broke up. Then, why not, the extremists of Space AT&T nuked everybody, which is actually fair if you really think about it. War was fun again, so there was a lot of it.We're not going to talk about the Republic, except they fucked up and lost Terra to Clan Wolf, but on the bright side, war is now fun again, so there is a lot of it.
>>97257585AROUND DRACS DONT TURN YOUR BACK!
Damn, the Dracs got the Thunderbird and the FWL got stuck with the Black Wolf? Damn.
>>97257651>fat shit advisor from the edge of known space betrayed the First Lord in a palace coupThe first Lord deserved it and Amaria did nothing wrong. The star league deserved to fall. No government deserves to exist anywhere. You don't see Taurians sucking at the teat of a welfare state like the star league.
>>97257277It's just dune+gundam.
I’m running a low fantasy game, and social advancement is gonna be a thing. So the PCs are gonna be rubbing elbows with a lot of noble families as they make their way into high society. I’m just asking for NPCs and ideas.Most of the nobility are humans, but a few are half-elves and halflings.
>>97242977This looks like shit.
>>97252769I mean yeah, that’s what makes it lame. It’d be like if the OP was asking for evil humanoids to fill out the setting and you posted “Orcs that murder and pillage” and an AI slop orc that looks like a cross between Thrall and the Harvey Weinstein orc from LOTR.
>>97251364The only "skill" that matters is the ability to generate wealth. And this is actually mostly about information gathering, finding the right resources or people to exploit.
>>97251474You have no idea what charisma actually is, do you anon?
>>97257602In a historical context it's a magic word used to handwave everything you can't explain.

I don’t think I can batch paint to save my life. I somehow work more efficiently painting one Marine at a time….
I'm getting that itch to start a third army now that I'm closing in on "finishing" my second one. I probably won't go for it for a while yet but I'm still thinking on the planning and theming stages and honestly, an army of all/mostly flyers and flying units sounds like it'd be really fun. How many armies can actually do that though? From the top of my head the two Eldar flavors seem the most obvious but I'm curious how many others even can.
>>97257696Whenever I paint it is always the varnishing stage where I get nervous. Like very nervous because I haven't used the airbrush in a while and I kept clogging the thing.I need to watch more airbrush maintenance videos and write down stuff to remember.
>>97257698Orks have deffkoptas, stormboyz, and surprising number of planes, it’s just that 10th edition hasn’t been kind to flying units so you don’t hear about them much.

I've heard people argue about what the "former gifted kid" class is. What's the former gifted kid race?
>>97257178Elf. Their whole thing is being in decline after their mythohistorical heyday.
>>97257178Elf. You were once part of a great, magical society, blessed with the secrets and wisdom of ages past as well as centuries of life to study them. Now you're knee-deep in sewer water killing goblins with some guys whose parents weren't even born when you left home.
>>97256298Bard is just that versatile. They can all buff each other with music which is kind of funny. Basically a travelling band and their bodyguard/man servant.I played a game with 2 bards and it worked well in 2e

Had an error trying to create this thread, and now the title is missing.If people have a hard time finding this thread someone might want to make a new one. The mouthbreathers over at 40k get to have multiple threads up anyways, so why don't we?
>>97257109You mean of the "Legacy" factions?I think most likely will be Shreks. They've been piddling out of Sigmar for a while and I can see them just disappearing and going all back to Old World (I still think GW's current stance against cross-system play is fucking stupid)Next Delfs. GW needs to shit or get off the pot with Malekith's godhood and his Shadow Elves in Sigmar. Do something, come out with new models and squat the old Delf models from the Cities line and bring them all back to TOW.Daemon of Chaos very likely, but only once GW moves the story forward and gets to Asavar Kul's invasion.Rats would be easiest to do since even their new models are small enough to rank up on 25s, but since they're being used as the big bads for the current edition of AOS, GW won't relinquish them.Lizards would also be more difficult, all the big monsters haven't been updated but the new Saurus don't rank up very well, though it is possible to get them going. And NuSlann would need new bases that could fit in ranks.But since they're still a major faction in AOS, very unlikely.New Chorfs rank up better than I thought, but again, extremely unlikely as GW doesn't want cross-play.Comment too long.

Don't forget Stirland's most horrible monsters.

I’d like to see the VC back just to get my hands on some of the pre-refresh skeletons. I know tracking them down second hand isn’t the worst experience, but it’d be more convenient in my mind.

Have you ever roleplayed a female character?
>>97256692How did you know I was trans?
>>97256741>>97256887>seethe bumpingugh
>>97234702No I haven't roleplayed a female character.I know what the implication is if a male commonly roleplays as a female character, but I've also seen people claim that men who always roleplay as men are gay. So there is no winning in this kind of cornering.
>>97257624>tfw used to keep a roughly 50/50 split when it came to the sex of my characters and told people I flipped a coin to determine it
>>97257624Sure there is.You just have to be willing to go on the offensive.If you are caught on open ground under fire, you don't try to dig in; you press forward.You either maneuver the conversation into a counterattack, or adopt a more defensible position from which to fight.

>>97256523The competitive mindset and PUG culture feed in to this.

What's the /tg/ consensus on Dragonbane? Looks like a neater, faster 5e clone with not as much bloat in it, which is exactly what i'm looking for.
>>97253088It's shit, just like every other 5e clone.
>>97253297>>97253802It's a BRP-derivate. So classes matter far less than in DnD, there are no character levels, XP is per-skill, etc. But of course now that someone has reacted tot eh "5e clone" claim the trolls will be in feeding frenzy for a while.
5e already doesn't have much bloat
>>97253297dragonbane absolutely has classes
