>>97542079just tried kingmaker and had to drop it after the 3rd 1 real life hour long web trap and the 600th indestructible spider swarm. its a shame because i really want to fuck the barbarian and the dead elf
>>97561857had that exact same experience
>>97561917i even restarted as a sorcerer just to spam burning hands on them and i still went through my entire spell pool and 10 alchemist fires do do 0 damage to them
>>97561857>>97561917>>97561960How are you guys this bad? Never had any issues with the spiders and the swarms.
>>97552502Don't you shit talk my brother Horgus. Cruades would have fallen if not for him actually getting them decent weapons.
i ai generate all my quests and characters and lore
>>97563932Basic yes-man crap like this is so addictive to women and zoomers that it can literally drive them insane.
You sound based.
>>97564340Anyone that can't tell that I AI-generated that word vomit and was using it to take the piss on OP is probably just as retarded as him. Might want to get your brain checked anon.
>>97564340ChatGPT gets extremely defensive when it talks to me. Like a woman trying to shut down an argument. it's weird ai does that.
>>97564827I wasn't accusing you of anything, I was agreeing with you. I understood that you were mocking him with an AI post, and I was joining you in piling it on.Sometimes people aren't insulting you, sometimes they're insulting with you. Don't be so insecure and paranoid all the time, it's small pecker behavior.
In your setting, what goes on here?
It's where the moon princess lives.

>>97563449Elden Ring came out long after that image. Close to 20 years after, if I'm not mistaken.
>>97565021No, about 14 years, actually.
>>97563408Do something about it, pussy.
I’ve just learned that I’ve spent $4000 on wargaming since 2024
>>97559822Exactly.
>>97560983Woah, you bought yourself a costume as well?
>>97561088I don't wear costumes and that's not a photo of Me lol but it's pretty close/similar to My style. I'm very androgynous to the point I often get mistaken for a woman

What brought you you into the hobby and why do you still stick with the hobby?With all the negativity on /tg/, there must be some reason why people here are passionate enough to even get upset at anything related to their hobby.I'll start:>I always had some interest in playing DnD, but was always too scared to join a group.>I found out about BG3 from the South Park episode and bought the game after finding out it was turn based.>I discovered that it used mechanics from DnD and found myself playing for hours across multiple runs.>After a while, it sparked my desire to play so I forced myself to find a group>Since then, I haven't been playing any vidya.I enjoy the cooperative narrative of DnD. No video game has the same level of freedom. Sure I can make a custom character, but it's just putting a face on the dev's character and any backstory I want is completely ignored.I find myself on /tg/ because there really isn't many places to talk about DnD and no way I can talk about it to anyone irl.
>>97553692>What brought you you into the hobbyI had general idea of rpgs but never got to play because I was antisocial. Met a guy at uni that was running wh40k and decided to join as the team needed a player>why do you still stick with the hobbyI like kiling my characters with randomness and love hearing my GM seethe when I don't miscast>there must be some reason why people here are passionate enoughautism, anon>putting a face on the dev's character and any backstory I want is completely ignoredyou should think of video games as interactive movies, they're ranging from linear stories(eg half-life) through a few endings(eg gtav) to big choice trees(eg detroit become human) point being devs can try accounting for as many player ideas as possible but it's impossible to consider every option
>>97553692I got into it because I found a lgs out here and loved the community that it had. That was a decade ago. I stick with it because I'm not given a lot of opporrtunity to be creative, and I finally feel like I understand the kitbashing, weird paint choices, and poses i like to do to my models. I'm not a good painter, or a good kitbasher, or anything in the hobby, really. I just like playing in this space and feeling like I'm doing something just for me, for once.
>>97553692>What brought you you into the hobbyWe were playing UO for quite a while together and one of the guys brought up a rulebook of a local game to give P&P RPG a shot>why do you still stick with the hobby?It was almost always fun across the past 24 yearsWhat's the purpose of this thread, again?
>>97553692>What brought you you into the hobbyI saw people playing space hulk and thought terminators were cool, years later my friend got me DOW and learned about the setting and that terminators aren't called Space Hulks>why do you still stick with the hobby?I like making /mydudes/ and model building is alot of fun, I dont really have time or people to play games with in person but I usually help my friends who dm with ideas.>there must be some reason why people here are passionate enoughPeople actually care about things they invested into, also they like banter, and discussion. I usually find the people who get defensive on a personal level on their lack of understanding why people get this way to be odd ones out.
>>97553692First year of my undergrad my new best friend introduced me and a lot of other folks to D&D 3.5 and I immediately fell in love and saw the potential of ttrpgs. I remember the specific moment where some man that looked like a bush was charging the party and I realized I could do ANYTHING I wanted as a reaction to it. It blew my little brain.What keeps me in the hobby now is I'm finally getting comfortable running games and I'm loving trying new systems. Most recently I ran my first game of DREAD which was fun but very scary to run because non-stop narrative flow is something I struggle with.I love that the hobby is so social, creative, and human. I love how different the same game can feel when you play with new people, and that you can always improve and gain new insights when you get behind the screen.
>Destroys all human religions thus ensuring humanity would be left with no benevolent warp entities and empowering the Chaos gods>Destroys countless human civilizations who were thriving on their own and wipes out their tech and resources>Destroys countless allied xenos thus ensuring that humanity has nobody left but enemies surrounding them>Creates a government entirely centered around him and a handful of superhumans and then loses half of them to Chaos>Massively increases the military power of Chaos by gifting them 9 legions of space marinesHow the hell does anyone think you need to side with this retard or else you're a traitor to humanity?
>>97556084Somehow, even with Perturabo intentionally doing a bad job of commanding his legion and always picking the most attrition-heavy strategies possible, his Legion still racked up more victories and triumphs under him than it did before he took charge. It was like he ratcheted casualties up 300% in exchange for 50% more military success>>97556110The War Hounds were far more 'functional' of a Legion, but the World Eaters scored a truly terrifying tally of triumphs under Angron. Sure, they left worlds depopulated in their wake and almost did more damage than they helped the expansion of the Imperium, but from the perspective of Big E, the World Eaters were all-stars as his big stick legion for sending messages to worlds that didn't want to accept Compliance. Butcher one planet, and the next 100 worlds in the sector will see that example and bend the knee. Altogether, the World Eaters were 'better' in overall usefulness, even if the Emperor was basically holding a gun under the table to shoot them and Angron like rabid dogs the moment the Crusade was over.

Moriana spoke on. Whole worlds had been reshaped, their continents given over to graveyards and necropolises, mourning not the slain on either side of our nearly forgotten war but the more recent dead of the last several hundred years: the innocent martyrs of the God-Emperor’s faithful flock.The God-Emperor.The God-Emperor.Language cannot convey the effect those words had on me. I will do all I can to explain it, knowing that every explanation is wrong, for no wordcraft can truly shape an impression of what I felt the first time I heard that title.‘The God-Emperor,’ Moriana said again, when Amurael asked her to repeat herself. He had stopped as if struck, his thoughts running so acidly rancid that I felt them pressing against my senses.Telemachon had been exultant, roaring his laughter to the sky, so gripped by euphoric revelation that I thought his twin hearts might seize. If you have ever walked an asylum’s halls, you know that laughter. It is something beyond mirth, beyond elation. It is a release, a dam that breaks in the back of the mind to let madness pour forth, preventing the brain from drowning in poison.The God-Emperor. I tried to repeat Moriana’s words but my mouth refused to give them shape. I was laughing myself.Telemachon could barely breathe. The laughter sawed in and out of his faceplate’s vocaliser, wheezing and wet, hacking as if he’d ruptured something in his throat. Amurael stood dumb, trying to process what he had heard. Trying and failing.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>97559733A god.They believed the Emperor was a god.I knew how and why this had happened, even before she said another word. It happened as it always happens, as any scholar of their own species’ history can tell you: it happened because the helpless masses were fearful, and because the powerful wanted unchallenged control. Every religion rises for the same reasons – the lower tiers of a society crave answers and comfort, needing rewards in an afterlife to justify the harshness and grimness of their lives. And to prevent uprisings in search of better existences, their rulers institute a creed that keeps the masses obedient and compliant.Meekness, obedience, submission… These become virtues that the oppressed must embody in pursuit of a greater good or a later reward.To stand against the prevailing belief becomes not just philosophy but heresy. Heresy worthy of execution. And so control is maintained by the strong over the weak.‘The God-Emperor,’ I finally managed to say. There have been many times in my life since then that I have cursed that title or cringed at hearing it cried by His deluded followers. But that day, damn me for my naïvety, I was laughing with Telemachon. A cruel, spurned mirth, not the amusement of the victor but the bleak joy of the beaten. That laughter was a purging, like shedding an uncomfortable sheath of skin.
>>97559735‘Much of the Imperium already adheres to the word of the sect as gospel,’ Moriana continued. ‘The Temple of the Emperor Saviour has a far wider reach and deeper roots than the petty cults that flowered during your rebellion. The Lectitio Divinitatus was a child’s bedtime candle compared to the sunlight of the beliefs now gripping the Imperium.’All these thousands of years later, deep in what scholars name the Dark Millennium, the Ecclesiarchy grips the whole Imperium in an inviolate hold. Moriana spoke of its rise as an inexorable ascension, only a handful of centuries before its formal, final adoption as the Imperial Creed, backbone of the Adeptus Ministorum, state religion of the Imperium of Man.And all of it, all of it, founded from the very beliefs that the Emperor had sought to destroy.Just as the Emperor had been betrayed by His sons, so too had the fool been betrayed by His own empire. Blind and rudderless without its monarch to guide it, the Imperium was devolving into superstitions and half-truths. No wonder we were already close to being myths.‘The Word Bearers won.’ Telemachon was on his hands and knees in the dust, blood trickling from his unmoving silver mouth. He laughed and heaved and vomited and laughed, speaking between dragged breaths and violent convulsions. ‘The Word Bearers won. They eat dirt and drink shame. They chant prayers to the unwanted truth through bloodied lips. They lost everything. And yet they still won.’

This is peak depiction of human male fighter debate me
In most fantasy RPGs, a baseline elf is superior to a baseline human. This is likely due to Tolkien's influence. Isn't it about time we broke this mold and did something more interesting with elves?

>>97520218>asking /tg/ for a better option.Vorkosigan Saga. Miles is also hypercompetent, but his flaws are also VERY obvious. Plus the series is a multiple Hugo and Nebula Winner. McMaster-Bujold is an excellent writer.

>Someone once made a thread where people played as folks going on a ominious highway>go to towns or locations near the highway that are weird/strange shit.Some shit like that, can we continue that again or we gonna bitch again at me cause i'm some faggot retard whose lazy or some shit?
>>97553856Seems like a cool idea, but no clue how to really run it. Would have to be super survival heavy, but conflict with other human groups would logically need gunplay rules, which my group and I tend to avoid because it always sucks. I’d probably want to stick to monsters only. Then there’s also the problem of motivation, not sure what to tell my players they’re doing this for, unless I just knock them all out and dump them there session 1 and they have to try and survive. But then that makes the setting seem a bit less exciting and more forced and repetitive. What’s drawing me to it is the spookiness of a highway that’s got some eerie qualities to it. Any idea what these qualities might be? What are some roadside locations that could boost them along/throw a wrench in things in the first couple sessions? And what monsters stalk the woods straddling this unknown stretch of road?Personally, I’d have hobo for a first simple encounter, just a totally unintelligible raving lunatic, to freak them out. Then possibly a stampede of rabid reindeer for a medium encounter and a wendigo for a big encounter? I feel like there’s something here, but it needs a lot more fleshing out
>>97558547Been thinking more about this, a monster I was considering was a pack of wooly mosquitoes. Like basically think of yetis as the orcs of this setting, then imagine the goblin version has a plague doctor-y mosquito face. That’s probably what I’ll go with for the first “oh shit there’s paranormal stuff going on” reveal, maybe the third encounter. As for roadside attractions, a gas station is a must-have and an easy first stop to let the players load up on everything basic they can think of. Other than that I’m kinda stumped other than maybe a hunting blind or the occasional car/truck/semi that would be the prime locations for weapons/ammo. Though I’m still not sold on gunplay as the main combat mechanic. I have a lot more ideas for monsters and plot hooks, I’m struggling more with map locations and overarching eerie thematics. This is enough for me to run something, but I’d like to hear if anyone has to add on those points. Or if OP would rather participate, or prove himself a lazy faggot retard
>>97553960>>97553964name of town? i'll be vacationing around that area late summer this year, might be a fun detour
This summer I was riding through New Mexico with some friends. One of them was prepping for an EMT exam while on Navy leave and so I was throwing out random bloody scenarios while we drove out through the wasteland while he had to come up with what he would do. We did oil burns and electrocution and all sorts of fun things.Then I realized I had forgotten to tell him to take the one turn that the car would need to take, since the navigation wasn't giving out audio for some reason. And I had forgotten to do it thirty minutes ago. We had not seen another turn since that one fork.We then came upon a town. It was all one story adobe boxes and a few trailers on the outside, with a chain-link fence graveyard so full of weeds it looked like a chia pet. It was a ghost town, but the satellite dishes and post 9/11 trailer husks indicated it had been abandoned recently.Or so we thought. While we were figuring out if we should turn around or keep going until we hit another highway I saw someone move between the clustered houses on either side of us, about three houses back. They were carrying a trashbag full of something. Possibly trash.Then we drove away. The town did not appear with a name on Google Maps when I looked into it later.I am glad we did not leave the car while there, and especially glad that my friend had a gun with him the whole time. And lastly that he would later pass the EMT exam when he got back. It was a bit of a tabletop moment all-in-all though, right down to the one guy minmaxing his skills.
>>97553856Anyone got a link to the old thread on archive? I think I posted a list of suggested viewing. As usual, no one reacted, so I might have died years ago and no one can actually read my posts.I WILL DRAG YOU ALL TO HELL WITH ME
