OH SHIT A GOBLIN
Gobsmas is almost here.

>>97212742This got a hearty chuckle from me.
>>97201629>gimme ur munee
>>97230010No, you gimme YOUR money.
What is it about? Why is it interesting? Should I care about it?
>>97179249Do we really need anything more than that? Most people are going to use either the Gold Box, From the Ashes, or The Adventure Begins Gazeteers for Greyhawk anyway, completely throwing out the 5.5e blurb.Greyhawk isn't like other settings. It's canon outside of official sources like the gazetteers, modules, or novels is meant to be purely homebrewed. If you want any further canon, check places like canonfire as other Anons said, the lore is mainly community made.Or you could just make shit up as you go along at your table.It's meant to be a worldbuilding framework. Worldbuilding on training wheels if you will, Gary didn't even want to publish it as a setting, he wanted people to make up their own. Which is kind of what every GM that plays in Greyhawk does.I had a friend ask me today if Greyhawk was a grimdark setting. Now, at my table it's not, I prefer the nobledark approach, but there's no doubt someone who plays a grimdark Greyhawk in the From The Ashes era.
>>97134425you type like a retard so you've no place to judge
>>97184016Atleast it tackles that better than Dragonlances retarded gods did. Mordenkainen´still a fucking moron though.
>>97133885personally I'm a fan of the Sundered Empire/Godwar portion of the setting that was created for the short lived WOTC version of Chainmail;https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Sundered_Empire
>>97134425you triggered the resident far leftist transfolx
Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97229994No, this goes on /soc/ or /lgbt/.
>>97230438How so? This is tabletop games content.
>>97225250>medieval historian>look inside>Knows Jack shit about Byzantium
>>97229957I hope not. Chekhov’s gun just makes foreshadowing more obvious, which might be a good choice depending on your audience, but the payoff comes from the story itself.
Joy of Wargaming. He's more wargame focused but he does RPG content too. Most of his wargaming has a RP aspect to it since he plays solo.He approaches gaming the way I do, cheap & cheerful and he's doing his own thing not giving a fuck.>>97231945Don't feed the troll
Alright, if NOT 5e, what should be babby's first tabletop in 2025+1?
>>97221384>FUCK YEAH HASBRO DADDY LET ME SMELL YOUR GIANT GIRTHY MARKETING BUDGET WHILE I DO IT FOR FREE I'M YOUR LITTLE SHILL PUSSY FUCK ME HASBRO FUCK ME HARDER I DO IT FOR FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>97205876>what should be babby's first tabletopWhatever gets you excited, unless what gets you excited is 5e. In that case, kill yourself.
>>97205876modern clone of B/X
>>97205876Mutant Chronicles 2nd edition
I would sooner recommend Shadowdark or Mork Borg before I would have a completely new players introduced to the hobby with 5e, and I think both of those games suck shit straight from the poop hole.

thinking of building pic rel as sort of midrange control heavy deck, recurring removal and ramp and dropping some fat boys laterthoughts?
Here.
What are some decent decks that mostly utilize pump spells?
>>97234470Johnny B
>>97234405Green is a bit ass at dealing with creatures if you're building control so you'd have to loop fogs or dip into stax effects I would think. Consider Six at the helm if you wanna do something like that.
Why is it so common for fantasy rpgs that try to do the "Deep Lore" stuff to always default to Gnosticism or H.P. Lovecraft in a trench coat?
>>97225388Dogs in the Vineyard, obviously.
>>97226239Elden Ring is Hermetic/Alchemical much more than it's Gnostic, although there are traces of that in there as well. Elder Scrolls is absolutely Gnostic with some Buddism mixed in, the hell you're talking about. It doesn't even change the name of some Gnostic concepts it uses
>>97227388Cool. Name them.
>>97208974Gnosticism and mad gods in of themselves are meta and existed since forever. Lovecraft because the classic pulp magazines loved his works and having the unexplorable like Tolkein is a classic way to get people intrigued. Also Gnoticism is early scholar stuff. When you learn more people tend to move away from it.>>97216420That's because we are instantly hardwired to hate those kinds of concepts so the play can keep going.>>97216545To be fair white wolf is all over the place when it comes to god, demons and faith.
>>97209411Not the other anon, but I'm going to summarize the monomyth for you:After viewing the pleroma from its side, a demiurge tricks his fellow aeons into participating in the construction of an imperfect material derivative, sacrificing their divine spark in so doing, trapping themselves and their descendants in a fallen state from which they're still trying to escape.Describing Elder Scrolls as "X with some Y" would be reductive and retarded, but if I were to try, it would definitely include Gnosticism.

>>97227033Finally got it. Time for me to crack open the MS Paint. I was just about to bitch about all the attempts with no 20. For all the anons who got close but didn't quite seal the deal, here's this ending again.

What game, in your opinion, has the greatest potential for ruining friendships? What game turns your friends into a bunch of Mr. Hyde assholes that start swinging?
>>97222834Good heavens, whatever for? What would the neighbors think?
>>97221035This game is friendship STRENGTHENING, you dumb fuck. If you are playing with your mate(s), takes to be a fucking retard to go against each other and not against the outsiders. It also takes to be retarded to not have a dedicated "ally" that you can trust with, knowing he won't betray you. Either of you wins, and the other of you will be 2nd, and if neither of you is winning, you can drag down whoever is.This is like TI 101, the bare basics of fucking strategyAnd like many games like this, the backstabber only gets to backstab people once. After that, they are forever fucked, because everyone remembers they aren't trustworthy
Junta.Where you and your friends have to argue over the distribution of stolen foreign aid money, with long interruptions to resolve coup attempts. Great game. Will destroy friendships.
>>97232577My wife, brother in law, and a third accomplice absolutely broke junta. B-i-l and wife hoarded assassin cards, the, the remaining four of us could not gather enough resources to plot a solid coup, they dodged the handful of assassination attempts we were able to draw, and despite their own last minute infighting, they held together long enough (and broke our backs so well) that they couldnt recruit us as end game allies with any real use.Great game though, found it hilarious to open up the rulebook and see the sample names in how assassinations work all match players in my east asian game group (who are all fantastic snakes).They got a kick out of that in the group chat.
>>97222472I know that someone somewhere has made a mario party traditional game
Men who make/roleplay female characters, why do you? Why do you think it bothers /tg/ so much?>inb4 I don't because I'm not a faggut, hurr durr
>>97220312So he nogames.
>>97139776When I was nine my sister was making fun of my for playing a "girl game" because I was playing Tomb Raider, since that day I've resorted to playing women just to spite her.
>>97227811>the original claim was that all characters were necessarily self-inserts?Idk why this pisses you off so much. It's literally just "you control the buttons you press" applied to imagining shit, but in trying to explain this i've been met with frothing abject refusal to understand another person's perspective (which is hilarious all things considered)
>>97230673>He talking about people spending a few hours pretending to something they are not like a elf.That's just AGP with extra steps.
>>97232718Yes, you are no game or brains.
Anyone planning to play any Christmas Specials? One-shots or variations on your regular game? Our group often has a Christmas special of some kind, either some unique silly monsters, or the current party portalled to the North Pole, or some villain stole all their magic items for presents, that kind of thing. What does your group do for the holidays?
>>97215516There is a movie called "red one' it's pretty mid but the lore is surprisingly deep enough to build a game setting out of, working on that
>>97215516Already did. Had them meet La Befana and they had to rescue the town's presents from frost fey. There was another session where the group had a snowball fight and Solstice Dinner.
>>97215516We usually take the Christmas period off from games.
obviously, clan skryre is the most advanced society in the setting. do you think they had access to warm, running water? you could use warpstone to heat the bath houses for example, and they had plenty of access to metal for plumbing.
>>97227795the character's name is snivil claw, she's the daughter of ikit
>>97231698But Global Rule 3 only bans furry pornography, not furry artwork or content. You seem confused.
>>97226103Link it
>>97223075Fem skaven have to be the shittiest kind of anthro smut because it's entirely concocted by people who see Skaven as nothing but anthro rats.At least gay shit has the gall to occasionally make stuff where they're actually smelly murder rapists.
>>97226103I found your commissions. You have awesome taste.
ITT overrated cards in MTG
>>97228049>throne>crownyeah, this is definitely giving advisor vibes, not confidant
>>97228128I see it as a trusted advisor, a confidant of the king. But one who has darker ambitions, as he helps he also takes away and potentially even dethrones you. Which is why you draw cards but lose life.
>>97228128A confidant is anyone that is confided in. Neither appearance nor occupation is part of the definition.
>>97229523yeah demons are notorious for needing to confide in morals wtf are you smoking?
>>97231376Maybe she's confiding in the demon. She's right next to his ear. But he doesn't look like much of a human wizard to me.
Why is it that so many fantasy writers make their evil cults unjoinable by anyone with a functioning brain cell? Like why would you worship Orcus, whose goal is omnicide? Why would you worship Tzeentch if he’s probably gonna screw YOU over as part of his grand plan?What makes it so bizarre to me is that, firstly, it’s not like they need to be so off-putting to be evil. Orcus is a demon of undeath, his followers want to turn their enemies into the undead. Tzeentch wants the world to be in a constant cycle of chaos, his followers are gonna be masterminding world wars.Secondly, it’s not like we don’t have plenty of examples of real-world evil cults. A lot of cults in the West don’t follow Super-Duper-Mega-Murder Satan, but are fucked-up offshoots of Christianity. Historically, goetia was practiced by people who would’ve still called themselves Christians, while committing rituals to summon and get boons from demons. Plenty of human cultures used to sacrifice humans to their gods, not to summon them to kill everyone or some shit, but to honor and/or appease them.Like to use another example from Warhammer, I think Nurgle and Khorne present more “approachable” evil cults. Nurgle is toxic positivity, and his love will take all the pain away. Khorne is wrapped up in enough language about honor to lure people in.Like to rework an evil deity, let’s pick Lamashtu. Instead of “We love ugliness and miscarriages and also you get to die in childbirth”, the cult targets vulnerable young women and lures them in with divine feminine language (“You have the power to bear and raise great beasts”), while promising the young men of monstrous races frustrated living among humans that what they’re scorned for is what makes them powerful (and also they get to have sex with pretty girls).
>>97207451>Reasonable Cultists>worship Chaos Undivided as the heart of mankind's virtue>worship Khorne as a god of honor and justice>worship Slaanesh as a god of love and beauty>worship Nurgle as a god of life and empathy>worship Tzeentch as a god of hope and creativity>manage to summon daemons aligned with those aspects of the gods>Imperium comes to purge their homeworld, is confronted with Bloodthirsters laying their lives down to protect the helpless, Daemonettes inspiring men to fight for their families, Plaguebearers delivering emergency medical aid, and Horrors keeping everyone's morale up>Exterminatus is called>this is worse than a normal demon incursion by far
>>97229119>reasonable>wh40kPick one
>>97229119>LLM trained on plebbit data made this poast
>>97229134Hey! There are some reasonable people in 40k! It's like less than 10 in the entire galaxy...
>>97231584To be fair, reasonability is genuinely a dangerous thing in 40k, given the sheer number of existential threats in the setting. Unfortunately, being unreasonable also feeds into some of those threats. Damned if you do, damned if you don't.
>In the game Werewolf: The Apocalypse, the Garou (werewolves) were made to defend the earth from the cosmic forces that threaten to tear it apart. The Garou fight against the Wyrm, the destroyer. It is a struggle against nearly insurmountable odds, especially considering the rivalry between many tribes. These rivalries make it almost impossible for the werewolves to present a unified front against a cosmic force that pervades reality.>From this morass of hatred and mutual betrayal, there is little hope that the Garou can emerge triumphant against a foe so well armed as the Wyrm. The Wyrm promises money, power, sex, and whatever else the heart desires to its followers while the Garou receive no reward for their striving. It drives them deeper and deeper into despair, or into betrayal so deep that they choose to serve the Wyrm instead.Main Rulebooks:>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Rulebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Rulebook>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Second Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Second_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse Revised Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_Revised_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 20th Anniversary Editionhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_20th_Anniversary_Edition>Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition Corebookhttps://whitewolf.fandom.com/wiki/Werewolf:_The_Apocalypse_5th_Edition_CorebookComment too long.
