Do you prefer to play ugly characters? Or attractive characters?
>>96787051Wait... Is Frieza an elf?
>>96763764I never really focus much on my character appearance, I tend to describe them looking like your typical average joe lookThe time I made a ugly character was when I made the most evil cunt of a character who whole backstory that he was abused ever since the day his mother shat him out on some dirt path outside his home village, abusive childhood by family and other children, ran away, taking in by brigands (who would of fucked him if he wasn't so fucking ugly) at a young age and decided he wanted to abuse the world back for all the pain it brought to him as he got older>Naturally born super ugly, his nose chopped off, heavily balding and just grim to even look at with scars over his face from past fightsPlayed him in a session with some other players some years ago, we were part of a prophecy of being the chosen ones to defeat some evil, it was some lazy ass excuse from the DM on why our characters met up, so it was funny when everyone else character was lawful or chaotic good and here me and my evil cunt former brigand character turned "adventurer" who somehow part of some heroic prophecy and I told the DM to let me play him because 'oh it his redemption, make up for all his past sins' and he thankfully allow me to play himAll the while openly brags about the times he pillaged farmsteads and strangled children for laughs to the other characters when ask what he did for a living, in other words I was roleplaying as a murderhobo and they weren't really thrilled about it, so naturally they spent more time trying to kill my character or get him arrested when we weren't proceeding with the quest

Anyone got an invite to .in or omgwtf?
The FUDGE role-playing game was supposedly created with input from the Usenet community, does anyone know if Fudge has a strong presence in Usenet or if there a people playing it in Usenet today? Thank you.
>>96794197not much of anything has a strong presence in usenet today
>>96794214>not much of anything has a strong presence in usenet todayShould have expected as much honestly then let me rephrase that, would it be reasonable for me to go looking for Fudge groups and players in Usenet or would that be unlikely?
I appreciate the sentiment, but why would you use Usenet over IRC?
what makes a good gm? what makes a bad gm?share bad gm stories if you have them
>>96788596You're the retarded oneALL rules in ALL systems are nothing more than suggestions to the GM on how it may be useful to run things. SUGGESTIONS.GM is the one person who actually makes it all work, and everything has to make sense to him or it won't make sense to anybody. The game happens inside GM's head, not in some book.ONLY BAD GMS FOLLOW RULES THAT SOMEONE ELSE WROTE. Good GMs acknowledge them as struictly non-binding guidelines.AND PLAYERS SHOULD NOT LOOK AT RULES AT ALL.t. 35+ year GM in dozens of systems
>>96788596Suck my balls, retarded no games. I've seen how you know the rules in hundred of local spam threads.
>>96790222>>96790642based grognardI'm breaking my permalurk to say thank you for your sanity. As an intermittent lurker, it's crazy how noticeable the decline has been here.
>>96788596literally what advantage is there to autistically sticking to the official dnd rules? knowing them is advantageous i guess for if youre running a campaign with knew people who are also familiar with the official rules so they make a good baseline so your players know what to expect, but in a group of people you know and where you can just tell them what youre doing to set the expectations, what material downside is there to deviating from the official rules? genuinely asking
>>96788596Only retard here is you mate
All game systems are accepted, as long as you discuss the short and hairy characters.
>>96774802Very nice models. I gotta check out em4 again.
Where does "dwarfs hate elfs" meme come from? In the Silmarillion, there is the killing of Thingol over the Silmarils, but those have power to drive gods lower than capitlal G God insane, and most of murder over Silmarils was Elf on Elf crime. Dwarves also cut their losses and fled when it was clear that the last battle of the First Age was lost, but that was by treachery of Men - they fought honorably and saved a lot of Elves and loyalist Men by holding the Dragons off. In the Second Age, we also see them cooperating and in the Third Age (LOTR's own era) the two have largely retreated to their holdouts and don't interact much.
>>96794980It's surface level reading that turned into a meme before memes existed and now it's firmly cemented in so many people's heads it's a trope.
>>96794993>It's surface level readingSurface level reading of what? Because Silm is nigh impervious to surface level reading (prose is intentionally so obtuse that an average 'English speaker' has to struggle through it as it was some kind of only partially known foreign language) and in LOTR, there is hardly more hostility between Elfs and Dwarfs than is normal for two different nations OUTSIDE OF BALKANS. Surface reading of The Hobbit, may be?
>>96795009I used that term loosely. Lots of people who are really into fantasy have never even cracked open the hobbit but know it by absorbing it through cultural osmosis. By absorbing its contents through that filter, which is tainted by derivative iterations and all sorts of other things, it gets really distorted to the point where Dwarves are angry scotsmen who hate elves, drink beer, have engineering degrees and have grudges.
It just feels like spellcasters get so much more DPS than martials.Even when putting a lot of effort into a max damage build with +5 STR, a maul and making use of the Great Weapon Master talent against low AC enemies, it just feels like you are doing no damage. Meanwhile, spellcasters get bullshit like 32(8d8) damage Blight or fucking 24(8d6) fireballs against MULTIPLE targets. Not to mention all the bullshit counters like Hellish Rebuke with 10(2d10) damage as a reaction.To add insult to injury, I can only hit a single enemy at a time, which is a maximum of 3-4 enemies with one attack each, as if a strong warrior couldn't hit 3 Kobolds or zombies in one swing and most powerful bosses, where single target damage actually matters and AOEs are irrelevant, have the annoying tendency to resist physical damage or, in a few very ugly cases, even outright ignore it.Doesn't help that stuff like Alchemist's Fire only does a pitiful 1d4 damage and costs fucking 50G a pop or a hunting trap does 1d4 damage and has a DC 13 throw to avoid or escape and ball bearings are an absolute meme with a DC 10 saving throw, so trying to be tactical and work around your weaknesses using gadgets is useless.Was this game just designed by fucking sadists? Did the devs of the game just fucking hate me personally? It almost feels like a troll/meme game.Are the older editions better? Does just 5e suck? Or are Fallout, Pathfinder or Gurps just better games than D&D if you like not having a miserable time?/rant
>>96789166>martials are great!>you just have to jump through some extra hoops and bend the rules and accept that none of the martial classes are actually functional out of the box>compared to casters who can just mono-class and still out-compete martials
>>96790404What do you think "factor" means?
>>96789166Then why is "single class barbarian" presented as a viable character concept in the rulebook?
>>96791305Because the designers don't know what they're doing. Getting into 5e as a new player sucks because the rulebooks just don't teach you what you need to know, and in some cases just outright lie.
>>96789167I have no idea how you can think DnD martials are fun to play at all. Battlemaster fighter has something going for them, I'll concede that; but literally every other pure martial is so limited in what you can do and what's actually a viable option you'd fall asleep at the table.

Is this the strongest spell of all time? Why doesn’t every deck start with 4 of this, 4 wraith, 4 bauble? Do people just hate consistency and would rather run “fun” cards?
>>96789565And you HAVE To stop him otherwise he's going to steamroll you.You don't have an option but to deal with him.
>>96787559Well first of all, it costs a gruul, so you'll need a red or green source to use it at all. Second of all, it's quite capable of being counterspelled, leaving you with wasted mana for thinking you're clever. It's a great little filler if you have the space for red or green in your deck and you're playing Modern and you're not against Control, I guess, but that's a far cry from strongest spell of all time.Which, by the by, has always been and continues to remain Black Lotus.
>>96787559>Gets countered. >Lose two manaInfinitely worse than Gitaxian probe
>>96787559Usually the slot would be better filled with more interaction or something that actually generates value. Also requires you to be running green or red.

I hate orcs. I kill any and all orcs that I can see. I go hunting for orcs. If it were up to me, there would be an orc genocide. I would gather up an army for the sole purpose of killing every orc we come across. Any orc that fights, dies on the spot. Any orc that flees gets run down and cut down. Any orc that surrenders gets dragged to prison and then there would be mass public executions. Gods, my wrath against all orcs knows no bounds. Literally every single one of them must be obliterated until there are none left.

How true is the stigma that men who engage in /tg/ hobbies rarely engage in sexual intercourse with the opposite sex?
>>96794852I’ve been having sex with whores for ten years now. As far as I can tell my wife knows nothing about it. You seem pretty mad about this. Is it because you’re too much of a coward to take control of your sex life and pay a woman for an hour of pleasure?

If a paladin sells his soul to Hell to save his friends, and falls, but is repentant and wants to redeem himself, is it ever possible for him to become a paladin again through the sheer effort and good? Or is it over forever because he already sold his soul and that's a black mark on him that can never be washed away?
>>96787056stop creating classes that revolves around worshipping something
>>96791390Define "sold their soul". Are you implying that they can't buy it back? For example, by paying a lot of gold to a spellcaster who casts a spell to retrieve that soul? With a spell specifically designed for the purpose? Given that the purpose of such a spell is specifically to absolve such a moral debt, you might called it something appropriate. Like "forgiveness" or "absolution".... or "atonement"...Fucking numpty MORON.
>>96787363Nope redemption was impossible in the grayhawk supplement.
>>96787056>sacrifices his own purity to do an act of good>redeems himself so that he can regain his purity and the powers that make him better at doing good>goes to kick the shit out of whatever tried to corrupt himYes he can become a paladin again, yes it's peak fiction, no you shouldn't let the vague lore/shitty mechanics of some kitchen sink setting tell you otherwise.
>>96787056I assume that depends on the 'how' of selling your soul to save your friends.IIRC in D&D 3.5 there was a hell-focused splatbook that mentioned that selling your soul under duress (for example, to save you or your family/friends from torment) was malpractice and that you easily could get a lawyer devil in hell to fuck over the guy you sold your soul to.So if it's 'you gave your soul to some pit fiend so he'd stop putting hot pokers in the asses of your friends', that paladin could very much get out of trouble. If it's 'you gave your soul to some pit fiend so he'd lend you his help to get your friends out of trouble', it's probably going to require a bit more effort.
