Every time I search for a cool "barbarian" in some RPG, no matter if it's dark fantasy or not, it's always the half-naked dude or chick that looks like he / she has just wake up after an university party.It gives the same vibes that you get from watching an historical film and for some reason, the filmmakers hate natural colors and must put a filter that ruins your immersion.Is it there a good RPG with proper "barbarians"?
So what does he have to do with Barbarians in the first place?

How do you deal with shit like this
>>96456316No it means magic is subjective. Wonder is subjective.
>>96313732I came here to post this.
>>96459342Right, so what's wrong with math and magic being separate? It's entirely subjective to whatever the creator says, isn't it?
>>96459426That's what he just said. Refer to >>96456219
>>96459761But he said that exact same thing can't be done at >>96455244 Which is it, anon? Is magic subjective or isn't it?

>>96459703It's like being caught in a plastic fucking pyramid scheme.I bought a model that forces me to buy more models to use it. Not even buy the models I need, I need to go out and buy TEN models I don't need for the one model I do. I need to go out and buy bags of crackerjacks, throw out the crackerjacks, and keep the prize inside.The extra disgusting part is that they've announced it this early not for consumer benefit, but to create a panic boom in their sales as people rush to buy up old stock.

Why do people claim women are great at handling pain? Like every women I've ever met is weak to pain. My HS GF and I wrecked our dirt bikes (she braked too hard, lost control and swerved into me) we both got injured and she couldn't walk because her leg was in too much pain. I hobbled out of the trail for a mile and got help on a sprained and a broken arm. I also had to lift my own bike up, then hers, and carry her off the trail so she wouldn't get run over on accident. After getting to the hospital she had just a nasty bruise on her leg and a sprained wrist.
>>96459404>The main issue it's for that to work there should be an upside to trade off for the penaltyObviously. But even >>96459065 gave the easy answer there, where giving female characters a bonus to spellcasting or magic is a really basic tradeoff.
tg is full gay today, aint it?
Justify why your mercenary female rogue or bard character is not also a prostitute.
The masculine desire to imprint oneself onto the persona of a slutty woman.
>>96459408them AGPs do be wildin tho
>>96455013>mercenaryShe's saving herself for a guy that meets her standards of mutual infatuation. Unfortunately, she lives in Warhammer Fantasy, so every man in the campaign is stuck at 'looking to carve out some security in the world so I can give in to my deepest depravities in peace' and relationships cap out at a mutual respect.>rogueWhy offer services at a rate when for zero monies you can pretend to be available for courtship? Get a few dates in, then rob them blind once invited into their home like a financial vampire. You can even get an adventure hook out of a spurned lover of renown rebuilding a small empire to seek revenge.

The PC rogue/fighter I saw in my campaign was possessed by a legion of demons and whored out for over 5 years. So, yeah, she would rather rob and kill people for a living

>>96456630I have some 6mm ECW stuff and 10mm ACW stuff and honestly I hate it. I never even finished the ECW stuff and frankly I'd just give it away to the first person that wanted it from me.

What's the difference between One Hour Wargames by Neil Thomas, and One Hour Skirmish Wargames by John Lambshead?
It's supposedly going to be dropping here soon (it was supposed to drop this summer, but apparently they needed more time to cook). I went to their Twitter page, and it only has 120 followers, so I'm feeling a little nervous. Worst case scenario, I can pinch off lore that they've promised to include if they completely butcher the actual game mechanics and shoehorn things into a better system if I have to. I hope I don't. Anyone familiar with Skydawn games, or are they a "literally who" of the TTG scene?
>>96452935I gathered that much. When you're one of the biggest JRPGs on the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, you tend to draw an audience.
>>96420096Wait, so it's not just og Phantasy Star? I'm pretty sure these guys come from PSO.
>>96458896They're pulling content from PS 1~4 as well as PS0 & PSOBB. I think you could probably bend and shape the content to fit PSO2 and other media as well if you wanted.PSO2 & NG are very fast-paced, though. Practically DMC-style combat. I don't know if you could translate that same feeling of frenetic action to a tabletop game. Compared to the slower and more methodical PSO & PS0 anyway.
>>96459191I see. I wouldn't really mind the system not trying to simulate PSO2's combat as long as it had cool rules for the classes and the monsters, especially for the Dark Falzs (Falzes?) and other bosses.
>>96458896>>96459191It would be a massive missed opportunity, if not outright disservice to the IP, if the game didn't acknowledge Online.

Many weeks ago I posted about giving my 3rd level party a 7-headed hydra encounter. It took a long time to get to it but here's the rundown of how it went.>they explore a ruined castle and find a few hidden switches that open the locks to the vault where the loot and hydra are located>along the way they find many pools of volcanic acid, shards of broken obsidian from inclusions on the ceiling of the cavern, and a large working portcullis, as well as an ancient gladius in an armory, which they take to present as proof they found this place>each lock makes a loud click that startles the hydra and causes it to vocalize>the druid recognizes this sound as being similar to a crocodile>the second lock causes multiple simultaneous vocalizations>druid thinks this indicates a pit of multiple crocs>the NPC gnome trail guide with the group remembers that his tribe told tales of hydras in this area long ago>the NPC trail guide then leads the other NPC university researcher to a safe place>the party carefully sets up a rope system to open the last switch to the vault door and leads the hydra to the room with obsidian shards>the NPC gnome trail guide returns with poisoned monstrous centipede meat to distract the hydra
>>96459523>they climb up a broken wall and the cleric knocks down a large shard of obsidian from the ceiling with Spiritual Weapon>the shard hits 4 of the heads and manages to sever all of them>the NPC gnome trail guide distributes acid splash vials to the group which he filled from the volcanic pools around the area>they successfully cauterize the 4 heads>there is no more sufficiently large obsidian to sever heads, only does minor body damage>one of the players gets bit by a single head for minimum damage>they lead the hydra to the portcullis and the druid uses a summon to lure it precisely>they slam the gate onto its necks and the two outer heads chew off the middle one in an attempt to eventually free itself>the party throws lamp oil onto the stump and lights it>the heat from the fire weakens the bronze portcullis and the hydra pulls itself free, but the stone wall holding the gate collapses and knocks it unconscious>the party realizes no one has a bladed weapon to cut off the last remaining heads while it's down>the NPC university researcher runs out of her hiding spot and uses the gladius from earlier to cut off the remaining heads>they douse it in acid one final time
>>96459535Glad it went well! A bit of an ass-pull with the DMPCs but at least they took the bait on the environmental tools to try and trap it. How'd the players feel about it?
>>96459552they seemed to really enjoy it. I think the NPC killing it off at the end was a fun dramatic choice but it also could have been fun if they just stood up and faught out the last 2 heads. I'm sorry to say that a big factor leading to that choice was that it was very close to the time one of our players has to leave and we won't be able to play again for several weeks. I really didn't want to break this fight up into two sessions a month apart.
>>96459676Hey, improv is the name of the game and I've definitely had sessions and arcs defined more by IRL shit than any internal cohesion. I'd say you handled it well, especially with time pressure. Good shit.

Has anyone her actually tried War Stuff? Seems fun, but nothing to be taken seriously.
>>96459650Looks like it's for children
>>96459660Don't most wargames?
