Put in interesting situations and monsters.

>>53036423
Literally this is all it takes. Its really not a hard thing to homebrew in it that's the itch that needs scratching.

>>53036488
Make ingredients and give them to your PCs.

What's the barbarian good at? Hitting things and getting hit, of course, but he also has excellent skill in grappling, pushing, and tripping foes. All of these are easy to build encounters around.

>Grappling: you have to take them alive/enemy is extremely fast/there's a convenient hazard to hold them in
>Shoving: there's pits or some shit
>Tripping: the monster's weak point is on its belly, flip it over so you can hurt it

>>53035853
Obviously that pic is from Baldur's Gate, but there's also Edwin.

>>53035853
In Halo (Dildo) Madness, Cortana's Electric Dildo turns males into females after they've been sodomized with it.

>>53035881
Edwin? I didn't play BG and that pic is the only vidya example I know.

Nothing good can come of this thread. If you have any decency you'll delete it and realize your stupidity.

If you like Warcraft, and 3.pf doesn't offend your sensibilities, its perfectly workable.

The hardest thing to work with is the tinkerer class, as its far more DM Fiat: The Class than anything else.

>>53035208
Yeah, it's pretty good. If your group knows 3.5e and has an interest in Warcraft, it's definitely worth playing. You should keep in mind that this game was put out during Vanilla WoW, and a good chunk of it was written while the game was in testing, so a lot of the lore in this game won't entirely match the lore of the MMO, and there's going to be a lot "missing." Also, if you're looking for something that plays like the MMO, this game doesn't. It plays like third edition D&D.

But it's perfectly fine to play. The game works fine and you can have a good time with it.

Go weigh your day to day outfit and come back.

A pair of boxers, an XXXL tshirt and a fedora should weigh just about 2 pounds, I agree.

Put together some an all Boyz list for a 2v2 Double Killteam game. Jesus was that a mistake. Ended about as well as you could expect.

If you're not being retarded, Mutants and Masterminds.

If you are, GURPS.

In my eyes there are two main approaches, based on your preferred themes in the game. This is assuming you're okay with reinterpreting the game and focusing on the setting, rather than trying to emulate gameplay details.

If you want high flying space badasses kicking ass and taking names, go for an action combat system like Legends of the Wulin or Anima: Beyond Fantasy. You're ninja in the style of ninja action movies.

If, on the other hand, you want to focus on more traditional ninja, planning a heist, using your abilities to infiltrate, complete the objective and leave without a trace, something more along the lines of Shadowrun could be appropriate.

Either way, it's a lot of work to adapt it, and god help you if you want to create a satisfying blend of the two. No fucking idea how you make that one work.

>>53033949
Thanks

>>53033964
No worries. I'm just trying to run a game about magical flipping space ninjas with superpowers.

People stray from the path, it is your duty to lead them back on it.

I agree but there's also a point when a paladin has to decide that someone is too far gone to be saved. Its not fun for anybody if you keep trying to "redeem" every gnoll, orc or ogre.

>>53033563
I'd say that if you go beyond your means and methods to kill evil.
ie Let me massacre a village because i know that someone here summoned that demon and i cant find them (this seriously happened during a game, i spent the entire time tied up for "obstructing justice".

On the absolutely minuscule chance this isn't just stupid buzzword filled bait-

Find another group. Online, offline, doesn't matter. If what you want and what they want completely fail to line up, you're all better off going separate ways.

Different groups and different people have different playstyles. Claims that one style another is superior is just assholes wanking their opinions. What's important is doing your best to find a group whose style at least roughly lines up with yours, or finding a compromise between the preferences of the group that leaves everyone involved still able to enjoy the experience.

>>53033574
I guess what I'm really asking is, how do I find a group that:
a.) Actually wants to role play instead of just sticking to their meme build for three sessions before getting bored and switching to a different character
b.)Is okay with mixing and matching systems where compatible to simulate a wide variety of scenarios. From small scale brawls to full overland battles
c.) Is willing to go full Autist with me on lore in a homebrew setting, to the point where we can sit and act out a council meeting to make our decisions?

>>53033649

Hard fucking work.

There are a lot of roleplaying groups and mediums online. A lot of games are private, some are public.

Of those games which recruit publicly? 90% are awful. They're new GMs who haven't yet been burned, or shitty people who can't keep regular players, with the occasional decent GM just looking for new players among them.

Even if, looking through gamefinders and roll20 and the sup/tg/ listing, you find a game that seems perfect, don't get your hopes up. It's probably going to suck.

But the point isn't the game- The point is networking. If the game advertised for certain things, there's a decent chance other people involved who might not be complete shitheads might like the same things you do.

Keep doing this, and keep in contact with decent players you find. Share games with them, get to know them, make friends, slowly grow your circle, shedding the shitters and finding good and reliable players and GMs until you have a reliable, stable group which fits your tastes.

It's possible. I know it is because I managed it. But it took me fucking years until I'd properly cleansed my social circle of the dross I'd accumulated in the attempt. Now? I have achieved gaming nirvana, and it is so fucking good. I had a GM run a solo side session for me the other day which was so tense it had me on the end of my seat and where the ending left me literally crying. All that work was so goddamn worth it.

Read the follow-up, Tech-Priest. It's soooo much better and will answer your question.

>>53033031
Will do. I really enjoy the Skitarii from a lore perspective, even more so after reading this. I especially liked how they showed off the difference between tech-priests who want to seek knowledge and understanding in the galaxy, and those who just want more power and influence on thier Forge World.

Go Slaaneshi Traitor, you'll always outmanuever your opponents and there is a ridiculous amount of versatility in the fluff if you're willing to look past the hurr dicknipples memes.

He does love me, but I don't think gw has got to the point where money printing on that level is necessary.

>>53032469
It was hereditary.

Our knowledge of the progression of societies is an incredibly tiny snapshot. A few tens of thousands of years of one species on one world.

There is no rational basis for assuming absolute monarchies could not survive into, or emerge into an advanced, space faring civilisation.

Should you put some thought into justifying it? Sure. But the idea that they'd be ruled by a Monarchy is no more ridiculous than assuming democracy, oligarchy or any other ruling system you can care to imagine. Who knows what strange new kinds of governance could possibly exist, over much longer time frames and significantly larger numbers of worlds?

>>53032469
It's the most probable type of governance to exist. It's basically rule of the strongest.

>>53032041

Reminder that 7th and 8th pretty much changed nothing until ET.

>>53032087
I think pretty much anyone who remotely cares about WHF lore pretends that ET and AoS never existed.

>>53032155
I care about whf lore. It was great stuff. Good reads, and a lot of fun.

I also recognize that ET gave it all an end, and AoS is its sequel. I now recognize AoS lore, and enjoy it.

Also, fuck you.
