I hate to continue spamming the thread but I am attempting to finish this project in quick order while I have some free time.

>>96476640>Coolest/craziest/most fun weapon you found, or your GM gave you?Omnissian Axe with Potent.Never got to use it, campaign died a pitiful death.
>>96476640>Our GM was a fun-loving guy, allowing us to make shit up, and it had consequences on his campaigns.One such artifact was a personally-built Twin-Linked Heavy Bolter, which had Storm, and Metal Storm bolts. And we put a fat fucking Daemon in there.The fun part was using it in zero gravity as an impromtu-jump pack. Because, you know, endless bullets? Fun times...
>>96476640An accurate plasma pistol with better range, S/-/- RoF and unlimitted ammo, that also gains the ekstra damage from accurate. I mounted it on a mechadendrite and had fun sniping fools with it.
Are you ready for it, /tg/?
I like the Elden Ring-esque aesthetics
>>96474795so much so that I thought this was an elden ring board game or something like that.
Never even heard of it.

Clerics can no longer cast spells while using a shield apparently. This is from the new starter set. WotC REALLY wants to destroy that class fantasy for some reason.
>>96476575All I'm saying at the end of the day is that it's a very strange decision in a very worthwhile product. If this sells right, millions of people are probably going to be learning D&D 5.5 through this product so I hope they made a healthy decision.
>>96476718A sword picked up from a heroic and very dead ally.
>>96476575I'm pretty sure that isn't supposed to be an intro to the actual rpg.
>>96476402>>96476483The PHB takes precedence over some dumb gimmick set made for retards like (you) to learn to play D&D.If you took the layman and told him that yes, he could cast spells with a shield on as a Cleric, but no, he can't cast them if he doesn't have a free hand to perform Somatic Components, he would look at you as if you'd grown a second head.Also, as has been noted, it's more of a board game than it is an actual RPG. Ergo, it is not reflective of D&D 2024 or its ruleset, and you, OP, are still a lying faggot.
>>96477507>"Oh hey, remember you can't cast spells unless your character has at least one hand free.""Oh, okay."Truly incomprehensible to the layman. Much easier to lie to them about how the rules actually work in the real game and teach them wrong, as a joke.

Returning to my LA desert homebrew, wanted to share the gist of my idea before I took a break from the boards.>The BadlandsOverrun with orcs, bandits, and lizardmen clashing with one another for dominance over the region. Towns and villages would be scarce, depraved dens of criminals and thieves where higher fame may paint a target on your back for bounty hunters or vengeful warlords. Would essentially be a hard mode variant of the Inner Kingdom, and an excuse to make a bunch of tables and events using enemies from other homebrews (harpies from ACHE, kobolds from Lewdyria, etc.)Ended up leaning away from the arabian nights aesthetic due to a lack of focus. I remember there were a lot of complaints that the combat was too easy or something so I wanted to use this to try and make encounters that were hard and punishing (but not Frost Marshes bullshit). The reward would be homebrew spells and treasures that play off of fetishes that aren't in the game.Problem is, I don't have a lot of material that could properly fill such a region without simply copying other documents. Any and all ideas would be appreciated, however big, small, or contrary.
>>96475420what are the cities like?I imagine they're super rare, but at the same time vastly more luxurious than regular citiesthough if you want to go that arabian nights aesthetic can always have enslavement being a threat around the corner

Why do people still think 4E and 5E are D&D? Protip:They're not. They never were and never will be.Touch grass.
>>96477242>It was the only edition with an outright design goal other than "muh hulking mess of bullshit"That's OD&D.
>>964772424E is pure shit. It's the epitome of mmorpg bullshit.
>>96477307>Nothing but buzzwordsIt plays nothing like an MMO, anon.>>96477266OD&D was a slapdash mishmash of multiple different systems and was so shoddy TSR had to have entire sections of their magazine(s) dedicated to just trying to fix it.
>>96477445>OD&D was a slapdash mishmash of multiple different systems and was so shoddy TSR had to have entire sections of their magazine(s) dedicated to just trying to fix it.Yes, it was 1974 and nobody had ever made an RPG before. However, it had an actual design goal, intended gameplay loop, and play experience.
>>96477461And it was fucking atrocious. Even the handful of people who helped make it realized this. That is why we got Basic and Advanced lines, anon - the game sucked. And even then, both of those lines were horseshit because they were so scattershot in so many ways. It's why 3e "felt" good when it launched because it somewhat attempted to fix those issues but was again riddled with "well, what if we took X and made it do Y" bullshit and had layers upon layers of tedium (cross-skill bonuses for instance, or how to do grapple mechanics). 4e decided enough was enough and focused on what worked and took the literal decades of fan commentary from mail, forums, and fansites to make the game people had been claiming they wanted>Fighters can do more than just swing a weapon>No one needed to be the mandatory cleric because every character could heal out of combat and healing potions were affordable>Combat was grand with moving parts and counters and more>Epic levels right there in core, and they made more sense than the "spheres" bullshit from BECMI/RC or crapping over martials like they did in 3e>Halflings were no longer toddlers but preteen sized which made more sense>Focused skill uses>Casters no longer needed to prepare non-combat spells in their spell slots, they could just learn a ritual>In fact, anyone with the Ritualist feat could learn rituals, so now your Barbarian could get in on helping set up magical defenses or having a floating disk haul out the treasure>Actual legit tiers of play that made sense rather than the wishy washy crap that was implied in earlier editions and now 5e>Actual rules and guidelines on how to engage the numerous kinds of party members>Actual fucking roleplay rules and guidelines, a fucking first for the game>Rangers didn't suck
Why are they always the weakest class? Why do designers hate them so much?>Have you tried not playing DND?It's not just DND.
>>96477302Exactly. Just like how Rogues are stuck being specialized in daggers or other weapons that they can backstab or sneak attack with.Some classes cover broader concepts than others.
>>96477401the more i look into classes, it seems FIGHTER is the one that should be retired or replaced since barbarian, ranger, paladin, and even rogue can cover the things you'd want out of your fighter anyways
>>96463223>Why are they always the weakest class?combination of MAD and their main gimmicks being part of the game that most players and dms want to handwave
>>96477426It goes back to how Ranger struggles to carve out a niche because Fighter exists. If Ranger is just a better Fighter with more skills/magic, then there's less reason to play a Fighter. So instead Ranger ends up getting stuck with less combat options to compensate.
>>96477498barbarians works as the brutish warriorpaladin works as the heavy plated knightranger works as the medium plated dexterous warrioreven rogue's swashbuckler acts as the wise cracking duelist fighter is really just "everyone else". and most people probably go into fighter thinking they want to make a heavy plated dude but don't want them to be religious which paladin doesn't need to be
I would like to present the hypothesis that the creation of /qst/ was detrimental to /tg/ as a whole.
generals are the only place on this board where you can get ontopic discussionthey stay
>>96473998Yes, trolls or autists are always a problem. The point is that generals give them INCENTIVE to form a discord that is an extension of the thread, and then becomes about the thread being an extension of the discord. I've seen this problem happen across multiple boards, discord babies screeching at each other for bucking the line and creating the next general thread in the sequence "ahead of schedule" and not putting the right things in the OP, or using the OP to force a meme, or otherwise violating their self-ascribed mandate. Like they are a HOA that you were forced to sign up with, patrolling to make sure that you don't paint your door the wrong color or you get a nasty letter and a threat. This mentality isn't possible outside of generals, because there is nothing for them to stake ownership of.
>>96474184Making a new thread early contributes to bloat, it's generally a good thing for them to wait until they're down on page 10 to make a new one. If they pull the trigger immediately when they hit autosage the old one will be hanging around for hours as it slowly descends.
The eternal seething of /qst/ posters never ceases to make me laugh.
>>96474494Seems like the majority of board users would be fine with quests on /tg/.
I know I'm already flirting with cringe because the whole Batman/Joker thing has been played out for like a decade now but I've been kicking around the idea of a Demiplane of Dread for D&D loosely based on Gotham (But probably more Victorian), Batman and Joker. Before you roll your eyes too hard, I've been kicking around the idea that the Not-Batman is a Straud-esque Dread Lord of the Plane. Why would a hero be a dread lord? Because he actively subjects the world the horrifying freaks of the domain by refusing to do anything to stop them permanently. He's well aware of the death and destruction, and he likes to wax poetic about the virtue of not killing, but there are inhabitants of this domain who have been almost murdered multiple times and have entire graveyards full of family members because he passively let them die. He will actively fight people trying to end villains harder than the villains themselves because they justify his existence.
Gotham as a Dread Domain, I get.Strahd as not!Bruce Wayne, I get.Van Richten as not!Batman, I get.But:>>96467317>>96470013>>96470170>freaks of not!Gotham cause death and destruction>not!Batman combats them>if he stopped, it would be even worse for the citizens>is not himself a monster terrorizing the citizens>the domain supplies villains for him to play out his personal vanity, and the whole situation just feeds his ego and sense of vindication: I don't think this is how the Dread Lord--Dread Domain thing is supposed to work.
>>96469896>The dark powers are not 100% evilThat's not what he said. "Deserved" was the word used.Soth, for instance, did monstrous things at both a personal level and an impersonal citizens-and-countryside level, as well as make unholy deals with dark gods.
>>96476325Disregard post, missed "jester is the dark lord"
>>96476277My reading of it was the other way around, where not!Batman shows up, treats all crimes extremely harshly, and creates those freaky villains in a very direct fashion by subjecting them to so much pain and fear that they snap. And not!Batman keeps whisking them away to his personal prison to torment them more, but keeps letting them loose either so he can boost his ego by hunting them down again, or so he can pretend that he's successfully rehabilitating people.If he stopped, then the cycle of new villains would also stop, and the populace could either execute or imprison any existing villains properly. The concept is basically the thing that people always accuse Batman of. That his existence creates supervillains, and he endangers lives by refusing to kill those villains. Except unlike the actual Batman, in this case it's very obviously and directly true.
>>96476308>did monstrous things at both a personal level and an impersonal citizens-and-countryside level, as well as make unholy deals with dark godsRegarding especially that last bit about dark gods, your head canon or Lowder's head canon? Certainly didn't happen in Dragonlance where the worst he did was kill his wife and newborn child and then slapped his girlfriend. Getting ragebaited by some lying elves into thinking his girlfriend was cheating on him and not committing suicide isn't monstrous.Soth on the Demi-plane of Dread is head canon.inb4: me saying that is itself my own head canon
Have you ever roleplayed a character with a spouse around, not just one that died in their backstory? Did they join in as an actual character and if so, how did your gm balance you having an extra helper?
>>96477390What about the other 8?
>>96477395I only recall seeing two, the rest must have come and gone while I was at work or asleep
>>96477409We talking about the wife threads?
>>96476838Yes, lots of times. In fact in most of my games that's something the character tries to do because that would be in character for them. Though obviously it depends on the setting and character. L5R, ACKS, Bodil's Gap almost certainly. Shadowrun, not so much.
>>96476838I once played a battlesmith artificer with a steel defender refluffed as an autistic robot girl that all the other party members first assumed he was using for sex.They dropped the assumptions after seeing how he treated her more like a sidekick/protege/sibling. Totally platonic.In terms of personality, my guy is basically don quixote with magitek autism. He is obsessed with everything relating to knights, chivalry, dragons, and everything magitek.Soon enough, the party started shipping him with a sentient magitek ghost ship that finds his antics endlessly frustrating, and a dragon girl rune knight from 500 years ago who the party unfroze from cryosleep during a raid on a cultist base.
I really need some help finding an image. I think I deleted it which is nuts because I was going to use it-- does anyone have this one image of these three guys: > Hoplite with a scary face on his shield, a falcata(?) and black armor > Bald, white-bearded d man with a gold/bronze prosthetic limb and a big mechanical sphere he's carrying> Super tall, gaunt and gangly mother fucker wearing a black cloak, with coins (?) over his eyes and spikes coming out of his backI remember them vividly but I want to use them as villains and I was hoping to use the image to help me describe them better-- but I can't seem to find it anywhere among my pictures.

Has anyone played Daggerheart yet? What's it like? Any fun?
