There's a lot of advice on how to play specific systems. Like what race to combine with what class.
There isn't much talk about how exactly to be a player.
Kantian ethics are awesome for table top games, in terms of player behavior

>>53013745
Don't be a dick, and remember that other players would like some of the limelight too.

>>53013745
Actually put though into your characters.

I make it a point to create at least two dozen NPCs they know or are related to.

I give them multiple goals, fears, desires, and beliefs.

But I also keep it mostly to myself unless the GM asks for it. No need to drown them in pages of character info.

Also, be active in your games. Nothing is more annoying that a player who never acts independently. Be your own stick and carrot.

Bump again

fuck

not really, but my friend and I used to jokingly play a format where we'd pick up a stack of nonland cards and draw from it the way you do with wizard's tower. for your land drop, you could put a card from your hand facedown and it counts as any color. totally retarded format but it was fun between matches and what not

A.Fucking.Bumblebee.

I felt this way when I listened to Acquisitions Incorporated.

I mean, those guys I think have played quite a bit of DnD, and the two that are from Penny Arcade are actually accomplished DMs supposedly (they write about really interesting sessions on the webpage and one of them has been playing for a long while), and yeah they played 4e which is more tactical but... it was so bland!
"The goblin misses you/hits you for 2 damage."
"You kill him."
"He is bloodied."

One of them, the guy playing Jim Darkmagic, was actually trying (saying out loud the descriptions of spells, talking of himself in the third person... jokes of course, but at least a semblance of RP).

I don't know if it gets better later on but it was pretty damn shit at the start. And from what some people write on here (minmaxing, hating character descriptions, open world etc.), I guess they prefer it this way. I don't know why though. I think for one, vidya is way better at the numbers/strategy thing, so if I was that kind of person I wouldn't go for a ttrpg.

>>53009422
More Halfy

Body manipulation wouldn't work for replacing close friends and family without months of research on their personality and habits.
As for the physic you're gonna need a villain specialized to stop them.

>>53007332
I mean...there's nothing particularly wrong with heroes feeling powerful. However, if you feel like too many villains of yours are jobbing, don't forget that what they can do you can do tenfold.

Don't be afraid of boosting the PL of your villains and giving them ways to counter such as distracting the heroes with endangered citizens. Heck, the villain might biologically "infest" someone that the Brain Shanker can't get away with mentally hurting.

Basically, just give them different problems to handle in a fight that makes them do things outside of "kill villain" and encourages to use the powers they have in atypical ways.

>>53007332
Unless you've went up against a kaiju monstergirl that can summon two high level swarms from her ovipositor that can both Interpose and heal her on top of having Luck Powers among other fucktons of different powers, I'd consider you very lucky.

When are Disney actually going to give us a good Star Wars movie?

>>53006251
Probably never. RO and TFA showed us they're more than willing to go the Marvel route and keep cranking out film after film with just the bare minimum amount of effort put into them relying on brand recognition and exploiting this recognition in order to get their money.

I've been told that Star Wars D20 makes a pretty good generic sci-fi system. Could I use it to run a sword and planet game or is the force to integral to the system?
Would it be better to use the FFG games?

You'd have to figure out how to thicken its crust, since it doesn't really have one.

>>53004008
And pull the acid / molten silicon rain out of it's atmosphere.

But honestly: it's your game, go nuts.

(I always liked the "Dragons of Venus" setting from HFY)

>>53004008
venus does have a crust. it's not a gaseous planet, it just has a very intense atmosphere which completely covers the planet. it's the same as global warming on earth but to the nth degree.

in order to terraform the planet the biggest challenge would be to reduce the atmosphere. the first thing that comes to my mind is introduction of c02 consuming bacteria. if we can introduce a quickly reproducing bacteria that would consume the planets c02 and turn it into oxygen or other less difficult gasses we could start to see the planet change. the planet is extremely hot though, so whatever we put there would have to survive 500c temperatures. as far as i know there are no creatures documented on earth that can survive above 100c.

because the temperature would kill off biological life the alternative would then be to engineer nano-machines which turn co2 into oxygen or another less dangerous gas. that would be the most plausible explanation for how it could be done.

once the atmosphere was tamed the temperature would drop which could allow us to introduce biological agents. even then the planet is very volcanically active which makes it somewhat scary.

Here's my first couple dudes for my Inquisition kill team, the Inquisitor with Storm Shield, Power Maul and Storm Bolter, two Crusaders with Storm Shields and Power Mauls, and an Acolyte with Storm Bolter. I wanted them to look like he drew them from the Adeptus Arbites.

Any tips for starting a Skitarii Kill Team?

I'd like to request a somewhat edgy chameleon-folk ninja, barely visible in the shadows. This isn't a character request, just a request for some art i can use for a race in my setting that's a bit of bogeyman for another race. I would also accept the same character sat down with a large sickle, looking a little elderly, if somebody could manage it.
