If you were transplanted into an age of high adventure, based on your skills, talents and experience what would you do?
>>96498310Really? In this world where everyone has the calories to gain their peak size? Where labor is so niched that you have skills not 1:40 people have? That you have the damn near combined knowledge of humanity at your fingertips and can learn any minutia of knowledge within minutes, you don't think you'd be something in another world? Live a little, at least your fantasies.

Which is best:>Vampires are weak to crosses>Vampires are weak to any holy symbol>Vampires are not weak to holy stuff>Vampires are repelled by perpendicular lines, which crosses happen to look like
>>96453156>>Vampires are weak to crossesthis one
>>96453156Vampires are repelled by crosses, and physically damaged by the power of Christ at close range or in a sanctified space. Weaker vampires generally flee immediately but older ones are crafty enough to brazen it out and pretend it's not causing them any discomfort in an attempt to get the person holding the cross to discard it. Thus, faith becomes a factor against stronger bloodsuckers.
>>96453156>>Vampires are weak to crossesDoes that mean they can be X-carded?
>>96491698Does running water need to be natural rivers or stuff?

Now that the dust has settled... was 5e a good line or not? It got a lot of new people into the hobby, but it also has a lot of flaws at a design level.
>>96486930What E5? 2014 or 2024 (5.5E)?2014 was good. Just that, good. Not great not terrible.2024 was bad.
>>96486930It is in the lower part of Mid Tier for D&D editions. It is a weak Meh.
>>96489511>People who throw baby tantrums about power gamers are literal failed normalfagsThat explains so so much.
>>96489511>powergamers infest modern D&Dlol wut? bitch, we been finding broken shit and exploiting the fuck out of it since the red box.
>>96486930Going by exclusively it's initial release it was mediocre at best and very hostile to DMs (something even the designers admitted), tho it did work out as a reset after 4e which regardless of what your opinion about it (I personally liked it) was too much of a departure from what people were used to and would've likely worked out much better as a different product than a mainline edition. However as a line it's beyond garbage with so much of it's additional releases being exclusively adventure paths, barely any new worthwhile options for players (it's been 10 fucking years and we only had a single new class that isn't even on the 2024 book) and a lot of the new systems and optional rules are things other systems and older editions had it since day one. Honestly I think without the rise of live streaming and Critical Role starting less than a year after the original release 5e might've struggled considering how little it brings to the table especially for newbies, both players and DMs.
>No infinite manpower like the Imperium, Tyranids, or Orks>No psychic powers like the Eldar or Imperium>No advanced technology like the Imperium, Necrons, or Eldar>No immortal warrior demigods like the Imperium, Eldar, or Necrons>Just pluckiness and a determination to fight until the end no matter the odds
>>96489831Lorewise they are so small and insignificant that they don't even enter the discussion of the balance of power in the galaxy or the future of it. Being stuck in the "if any of the major factions just put some energy into killing them, they would be fucked" forever keeps them as a minor irrelevant faction for mecha enthusiasts not worth discussing other than "Is their ideology sound or not" for the billionth time.
>>96489836I'm sure their psykers will be extra pluralocrats or whatever and their powers only work if a squad of their psykers get in a special formation.
>>96490482>everyone but Tyranid players things their faction is in the right.And only the ork players are correct.
>>96494019>Drukhari groupThey're called DARK ELDAR, Or, if you go by 5th edition codex, Eladrith Ynneas."DRUKHARI" is corporate newspeak and everyone who uses it is a jeet shill.
>>96489831Advanced technology is literally the only thing they actually have. They aren't plucky at all, they're weakling cowards.

Palladium Games and Rifts General! /PGaRG/The world is a broken, post-apocalyptic wasteland destroyed by the eruption of inter-dimensional portals, rifts in the fabric of space-time and ley lines which crisscross the world. Demon & alien invaders have poured out of the rifts to destroy human civilization and claim the Earth. Now the wasteland has had 300 years to partially recover, and civilization has returned to the world; but not just human civilization: alien empires, monster kingdoms, lost time travellers, lands of mutants, demonic overlords and wizards have arisen from the ashes, all trying to rebuild the world in their own image!RIFTS! The science fantasy world of post-apoc cyborgs, wizards, dragons, ninjas, giant mecha, super-nazis, robot ninjas, vampires, underwater kingdoms, remnant human supertech civilizations and everything you can imagine all rolled into one setting where interdimensional RIFTS have pierced Earth's fabric and turned it into a playground for aliens and monsters!Plus other Palladium Games about superheroes, zombies, classic fantasy, supernaturals investigation and more.

>>96492861>How do you do it?1. Convince them to disregard any preconceived notion about the system, whatever they've read is wrong2. If they're mechanically oriented give them a combat rundown of a SAMAS Vs. Glitter Boy scenario starting at 3km3. If they're roleplay/social oriented explain the CS Dog Boy and ISS-Citizen dynamic.
>>96492861Well you're right, the system IS clunky as hell, but the best way to introduce people is to show them the world (preferably Rifts Earth, but Splicers or Heroes Unlimited is good too) and let them make characters. When they see how many cool options there are to play they'll get invested. The system... use it sparingly and ignore large chunks of it for best effect.
I gotta ask: could big tits count as shields or some technical additional limbs with HP to cripple?
>>96489923That reminds me, which is better for sneaking: Reduce self or Metamorphisis: Animal?
>>96498463According to the Glitter Girl unit, yes.
Being the "common unimportant adventurer" doing random treasure hunting is fun and all but it never gives me the same hype as being a very special guy with relevant ties to the major events in the setting.
>>96494155they're fucking boring to play
>>96493857>>96493868The best is starting out super special and becoming a common unimportant adventurer.
>>96496554>They want the world to bend to their will,This. It's more about aesthetics than you might think. The world should present as gritty and unforgiving, the character should be an anti-hero mercenary who's studying hema-style sword treatises, not anime powers, like Bronn or the Mountain in game of thrones and it should appear as though they are constantly in mortal danger and just barely manage to manage to stay alive where random brigands could take them down with a lucky swing. But just how the authors of those stories wrote that they should survive, the player wants to actually be guaranteed to succeed and dunk on others like in those shows, they don't actually want an osr dungeoncrawl where they actually had to roll to survive the 50/50 death pit. They just want the narrative of "Wow they really could have died there" when th dm in reality never put that in that real situation mechanics-wise. At least that's how it was when I ran for two dudes who loved GoT and played stuff like Mount and blade (which by the way has the same dynamic, presents as gritty and lethal, but when you get good at it you're basically a one man machine mowing down armies)
>>96493857that must be pretty sad since you have no games and can't fulfill either fantasy :/
>>96493857The solution is yet again to be found in Tolkien.Even a nobody can get tangled up in the larger machinations of the world.But have some patience My players started out as regulars at a bar for former soldiers They did get tangled up with relevant characters but as pawns at first.Now 6 IRL years later they’re movers and shakers, they fought alongside kings and the pope and their council of respected, they inherit positions of important orders and are tangled up in the world and its inhabitantsNever once were they super special beyond what they made of themselves.And no this is not a super grimdark Mudcore campaign.They just wrote their own high fantasy saga rather than inheriting a role

>>96498396I can't really go a few pages without finding a sorcery spell intended to be used as a weapon, a curse, an illusion meant to deceive, etc.
>>96498396As a reminder, 100% of Void Circle necromancy spells are written by Deathlords, 90% of Labyrinth Circle necromancy spells are written by Deathlords and 90% of the rest are written by First Age Solars high on the Great Curse crazy enough to undergo necromantic initiation despite their very comfortable life, with only a very small fraction being written by hekatonkhire, nephwracks, and young First Age Solars who, again, would've been crazy enough to go necromancy despite already having very comfortable lives.Of the shadowlands circle necromancy a large portion is likely going to have been made by the Deathlords, because their is no salinan working equivalent for necromancy. You need direct tutoring and empowerment to get into it, and most of that comes from the established and exceptionally evil great powers of the Underworld who would prefer the power of necromancy be kept firmly under their control, since it's pretty specialized in fucking over and controlling their own forces.Necromancy doesn't need to be fundamentally evil when necromancers have historically been bad enough to explain the spell list's bias.
>>96498462Point is, Necromancy sucks and is boring and gay and lame.
>>96498478You're not wrong, but if someone wants to homebrew spells that make it less one-note and ass I say let them, so long as balance and themes are maintained otherwise.
>>96498506Never said otherwise. I'm all for it in fact.
AD&D clone, fantasy heartbreaker about ~Viking Age Europeans (including Elves and Dwarves) returning to their long-lost homeland Thule and slowly taking it away from the forces of darkness. In other words, MYFAROG rebooted. Now with extra feminism.Can't be worse than 5E.

>>96498419>VargI was his fan back in early 00s and I still love early Burzum. But most of my respect slowly evaporated over the course of the years after he was released from the prison.Used to drunkenly bother him in twitter both in English and Russian until he banned me.
>>96498499>He's not an artistNigger, Burzum is a cult classic that's so popular that random teenage thots who've never heard anything metal, let alone Varg's music, wear Burzum shirts to attract attention because dressing like a prostitute doesn't anymore. You can call Varg a retard, a hypocrite, a special snowflake, and a criminal, but he certainly is an accomplished artist.Seethe & dilate.

Ave Imperator, Nobiles et Plebes. Please post anything related to Senatus Populusque Romanus in this thread.VENI. VEDI. VICI
>>96497344I'm only a hobbyist level Romaboo, but I tend to avoid secondary sources like the plague. Everyone has an agenda (even the primary sources typically do, but at least that's only one agenda you have to account for, not two or three). I mostly study Greco-Roman theology and mythology as part of my comparative studies (I'm really more of a holistic Euroboo) and for RPG inspiration, so that's your Homer, Hesiod, Ovid and Apollodorus and their sort. Herodotus is a really good source of inspiration to populate a sword and sandal RPG setting, since he describes all sorts of less well known ethnic groups. For specifics on Roman history, I think Livy is considered the go-to guy, but I could be wrong. For opinions on western European barbarians, Caesar, Tacitus and the anything on the Cimbrian War comes to mind.If you're a visual sort of guy, then the Osprey books are the ones with the consistently most appealing illustrations I've found. Nothing beats a trip to the museum and glyptotheque though.Hope this helps, and don't hesitate to ask any questions. Maybe Romaboos of higher power levels can also add their two sesterces.

>>96492037The other games can't keep a thread alive and they would come here anyway to shit on 2e so might as well make it one thread.
>>96493110why is it bad
>>964920372e fans try to make themselves feel better by saying their game generates more discussion than one from over 15 years ago, but yeah you hit the nail on the head and there's a reason they need the 15 year old game to help generate enough discussion to not slide off of /tg/.
>>96497260i stopped browsing this thread because every time ichecked it was 2e
>>96493426Sorry anon, didn't notice this until today.Good GM's are typically fairly comprehensive in their posts. It goes without saying that the more detail the better. Who they're looking for, what the setting is, background. Whatever. It's usually a waste of time to try your luck on someone who could only muster maybe two paragraphs at best.Unless the pitch was very solid I ignored most posts that didn't have a google form. If they rely solely on comments or direct messages the GM is probably going off of a first come first serve basis and it's a big waste of time. Also if there's a form, there's usually even more detail on how things are going to be in it.That's kind of it for me honestly. Since this isn't 5E there's thankfully a lot less trash to sift through because people tend to (but not always) care more about the game and how it's run.It will take time and you still have to be kind of lucky, but I hope you get into a game that's fun for you eventually.

Are you guys excited about prices dropping and games becoming more affordable? Can't wait to have young new players in the scene!
I used an action point and rolled a critical hit on my beguiling strands attack tonight and pushed all of the DM's iron circle brigands into a well totally negating the encounter he had planned.Man was he pissed off.
>>96496004Blessed reverse uno pasta.
>>96495671Am I weird for wanting to play WoD? I try to discuss it in the WoD/CofD generals, but everyone only wants to talk about Vampire: the Requiem.
>>96495956OP asked for bizarro /tg/, not /v/ /tg/
/tg/, I'm designing a campaign for my group.The campaign consists from three acts. As a whole, they cover levels from 1 to 20.What happens in the first act is immaterial for this thread.In the very beginning of the second act, however, they will meet the big villain of the campaign, who decides that they're going to be a threat to his master plan and immediately kills them all right at the end of a gruelling dungeon. The player characters then go to Valhalla, meet not!Odin and then return to life with a divine quest. Half of the second act will involve fulfilling this quest to pay not!Odin back for their resurrection. The other half involves revenge against the villain.Now, obviously if they just reveal themselves, they'd just be killed again. So they'll be gently suggested to assume false identities and infiltrate the villain's massive army of mercenaries in order to foil his plan from the inside. By the end of the act, the villain's army will be gone, his personal power extinguished, and then he'll die as the final boss of the act.That's the idea. However, I keep thinking about how it'll actually go. I have 7-9 dungeons in mind for the second act. That is a lot of sessions spent under secret identities, while everyone believes that they're dead. While the undercover arc could potentially be interesting, I'm also seeing the potential for it to be very exhausting to actually go through.Should I just pre-emptively cut the "undercover" part to just 1 or 2 dungeons? It's going to be pretty difficult to change them on the fly, if I see that this story is not working.

Depends on where the psychologist in question works, it's a pretty varied field. >>96498339If you think that soneone with a fairly normal, not super special job and education being on /tg/ is as likely as seeing the King of England here, you need to seriously rethink your life and your attitude to it.>>96498346AI might replace all jobs eventually, but I'm not terribly worried about it happening to mine anytime soon. At the moment psychologists are in high demand, I think everywhere in the Western world. Not necessarily people with a bachelor's degree in psychology, mind you, but licensed clinical psychologists don't have to struggle with employment.
