I didn't know these were a thing. Skill Tricks are actions you can learn by spending 2 Skill Points. Some of them are really good, like mocking a spellcaster so hard they lose their spell.https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/skills/skilltricks.html
>>98221173If only there was a winning formula.But there are a couple of things that can help, like the other anon said.Go to places like GitP, myth weavers, rpg crossing, reddit, VTT forums, discord, etc. Be willing to DM, etc. Maybe even take a look at local social media (facebook?) groups and the like.Tenacity helps too.The "easiest" way is probably to start your own game on roll 20 and advertise it on the usual places. Short campaigns.Then keep in touch with the dudes you think were the best players, who might be willing to DM, etc, and make your own little private group.>>98222268Yeah, those are sick. A shame there aren't that many.Our DM rewarded Collector of Stories one to my Cleric and the Bard.
>>98222324>Our DM rewarded Collector of Stories one to my Cleric and the Bard.Good DM.
>>98222418He's the GOAT.
>>98222268I've always thought skill tricks were neat but like a lot of complete scoundrel it seems to answer the question of "how do we fix the fact a skill monkey is both worse and more committal to their niche than a wizard" by giving them other shit to spend skill points on than Listen/Search/Spot/UMD/Open Lock.
I run and play all of my games via pure text (and image links). Sometimes, these are synchronous, live text. At other times, they are play-by-post; I have run and finished several PbP adventures in compact time frame (e.g. just under a week for a core rulebook's starter adventure) by consistently keeping things moving.I often join PbP games that recruit online. There are often rifts in expectations. Recently, I have grasped a subtle yet high-impact preference that few people openly talk about: limited vs. omniscient narration for PCs.In this context, limited narration focuses on physically observable traits, actions, and words. Omniscient narration talks directly about inner thoughts and emotions (e.g. internal monologue), the character's history, and other subjects that cannot be directly observed or interacted with.Suppose the characters are at some fancy gala. One PC, Marcus, spots the high-status lady who orchestrated the assassination of his parents.Limited narration might be:>Marcus grimaces; one blue eye twitches. He balls up a silk-gloved hand into a trembling fist, fine fabric straining over knuckles. After a low growl, Marcus points an accusing finger at her. "You have plenty to answer for," he says with clear rancor.Omniscient narration might describe all of the above as well, or it may cut back on such details. Either way, it talks about Marcus's inner thoughts and emotions, his family's history with the lady, and so on. Consequently, omniscient narration tends to produce much longer, seemingly higher-effort posts.I prefer to narrate my PCs limitedly; it is hard for other players and the GM to interact with non-observable characteristics. But I have been directly told by some GMs (midway through the game) that my posts should be "higher-effort" and directly talk about thoughts, emotions, history, and so on.Comment too long.

>>98223724Disclaimer: It is possible that I am using "limited" incorrectly, and should be saying, "objective," instead.

>>98223724Edna, you're being clearly told by your fellow gamers to provide more information about your character's internal state. Clearly you are not giving them enough to go on. Further, if you explain what is _actually going on_ they can decide how to detect it (or how to entertainingly play around their own ignorance). Everyone metagames, it's not avoidable. At least ensure you are fostering a helpful meta.
>>98223724I doubt you will be able to find any reasonable answer. /tg/ is not what it once was back in the golden age circa 2007-2013. the boardhas suffered many destructive actions from a guy we called Nazi Mod who was a no fun allowed type of asshole, we had littanies of flood threads, spam, massive shitposters ruiningthe board's quality, the 2016 meme magic elections flooding 4chan with phoneposters, the effective mainstreamification of 4chan, fucking generals occupying a massive chunk of the board at all times.The people who could have helped you with whatever it is you're asking for are long gone, trail gone cold. that or they are merely lurking now and not posting anymore.I wish I could, but I don't play PbPs on account that its not to my liking.

>>98225565Navigating the cyoa is a bit of a bitch, but the secret is to save discipline purchases until the end.If you create your character and give them a suitable sire then no matter what your choices are, you're going to end up with some amount of blood to fill out the disciplines.

Anyone have any tips for running Horror on the Orient Express? I've had the campaign for a while and my players are finally buying in since our DM is gonna be out of town for three weeks at a time consistently. I've gotta remember to check the trove for a printable pdf of handouts.
Hello /hsg/ I could use some advice regarding what system for which system to run my campaign in. Essentially, I want to run a Southern Gothic style game about a conspiracy involving a mining corporation uncovering something supernatural in the coal mines of West Virginia during the 20s. Would Call of Cthulhu work for my needs? Would you have any other system recommendations? Thank you.
>>98226211Call of Cthulhu would work. If you're a fan, or just want to try Gumshoe, Fear Itself or Trail of Cthulhu could also work

>>98224644They could actually make dedicated support for the backlog of forgotten decks instead of this.They're just making meta decks from whole cloth to sell product instead of making Eugene tier 1 by giving just one full wave of great support.They can do it, they absolutely can do it, Bavsargra proved that just one wave plus a decent backlog can push a deck from alright to meta relevant.

Adding the Ethiopians to the Merc book, is this alright for the Chieftain rule's wording? I'm fairly sure it ends up having exactly the same effect. Also> Crescent Moon FormationRight now it reads as a buff to the attacker, that can't be it, right? Its meant to be -1 Strength, not +1? I guess I do see the "advantage" in having a 'faction' keyword like Ethiopian, might make some rules less clunky-sounding. And I am changing the format so adding them now wouldn't be too much of a time drain.
>>98223782>Right now it reads as a buff to the attacker, that can't be it, right? Its meant to be -1 Strength, not +1? Yes, sorry. Force of habit.

Why does it seem that nobody in the Star Wars universe uses laser pointer sights on their blasters? I've only seen them in swtor I think.
>>98224853I guess they got stuck at the old trilogy's aesthetics.
>>98224853It seems like technologically, the SW Universe sort of diverged to cover those needs using ocular equipment with visual enhancements, rather than gun-attached solutions, or just full on leave long-distance fighting to droids. The prevalence of full-face helmets and masks in use in lots of armor certainly lends itself to just covering it with ocular gear, and the armor is likely personalized to the user, which the gun equipment would have to be, too, because not every species is going to perceive the laser's spectrum the same.

help me out here. this box of yugioh has been staring at me and my housemate for like a year now in our local gamestop, and it confuses the hell out of us. i've tried a bunch to get a definitive answer on what this is or why it's so damn expensive but i genuinely can't figure it out. crimson crisis is an ancient set at this point, and looking up "crimson crisis special edition" gets you a gamestop listing for this thing im looking at, then TCG Player listings for a box that's way cheaper, but l ooks different with the same name. the description gamestop gives this on the website says this thing has 3 packs in it, but that seems kinda baffling for a box this large? is this erroneously the description of the other cheaper boxes i saw? did they just find some ancient backstock from 2009 and decide to upcharge to hell cuz it's rare? some sort of gamestop exclusive reprint with no info anywhere? if anyone knows or has any ideas, please tell me.

Discussions of whether AD&D 2e is OSR or not, both in favour and against the claim, lead to endless flame wars and are undesirable.

Human male fighter is my go-to role in any game. I know modern players like to say they're boring, but seriously, they don't understand it's about the armor. You can make your knight have all sorts of crazy designs in their armor and come off as completely unique. Games lime Dark Souls prove this, in that nearly every character is some variation of "depressed human Knight" and yet no two are confused. >My fucking sick dragon helm has more personality than your entire race.
