How does one do a beast race properly? I, for one, really liked the way Elder Scrolls did theirs.

Furrybaits aside, because we all know it's inevitable to make a race like this without someone wanting to fuck it.

The thing about the bleak nihilism that's the basis of 'cosmic horror' is that it means not just humans are intrinsically worthless, but so are your space spaghettis and octopus lords. Humans are but ants to them, you might say, but we're ALL ants to the universe, and there's nothing scary or unsettling about that. These monsters that drive people mad are not better than you - yeah they may be stronger or have magic or something, but since there's no objective meaning, YOU decide if them being stronger or having magic even matters.

Human beings and their civilization may well strike you, as it does me, as vastly more important and consequential than aliens and their silly mysticism. So then there's absolutely nothing scary about this whole genre at all. Its ability to upset you is based strictly on how much you're ruled by moral cowardice.

Post your bara orcs and green humans, and post your pig-men and your horrific servants of evil.

Let's hear of your orc characters and your orc campaigns, your world-building that features orcs and your orcish cultures

Because this 'ere's an orc thread.

/tg/, imagine this situation;

GW has come to you for help. They want to make a second version of Mordheim, completely improved. They have tasked you with creating the perfect version of a skirmish campaign-based game.

There are no conditions. You can take whatever you want from the old Mordheim, or whichever games you like. You can come up with stuff 100% new and original. You can make the turn structure as you want. The only thing you have to keep is the lore, Warhamer lore must remain intact.

What do you do? Do you keep the game's stats and rules? Do you change them up? Possibilities are endless

>space crusade was released in 1990
>already had necrons and eldar in it
>40k was officially released in 1993
So why are people pretending that space crusade is a spinoff? If anything 40k is a spinoff of space crusade.

I just read Tales from the Loop and it lit the GM flame in me.

Know any other games with this basic premise of child PCs? I know about WoD Innocents, but I've never read it. Is it a good way to play?

Hello again fa/tg/uys and ca/tg/irls. Today is the final day of the Spring Babby Cup Qualifiers (affectionately known as the Fetus Cup).

>What the fuck is this?

A virtual divegrass tournament run in Pro Evolution Soccer and streamed for the enjoyment of anons everywhere.

>Why the fuck should I care?

Dank memes, top bants, bragging rights, and hype by the bucket load. For more info see implyingrigged.info

Having set ourselves up in a good position from the previous two games, /tg/ look to finish on a high note and guarantee advancement to the Babbies with a win over already promoted /his/, allowing us to join them, /a/, and /co/ in the main event (Yes, /co/ actually got gud!).

We're up in the first match of the day in just a few short minutes so, GET HYPE AND CHEER ON DA BOYZ!

Sup, /tg/

Next weekend I'm starting a new campaign (D&D 5e) for a bunch of players who normally don't do much Role Playing (One player literally forced a party wipe when two players wanted to go to a bar after a rough dungeon to let off a little steam, simply because there was no chance of combat encounters). I've spent a lot of time thinking of ways to promote role play that'll still make for a fun game for my players. Tell me what you think:

First, I'm going to open with a brief overview of what I want from them, my expectations and what I think will promote the best play experience (They're not mind readers, if I don't start a conversation about what everyone wants it'd be insane to expect them to just know)

Then, after a brief history of this world I plan to ask them a Dread-styled questionnaire allowing very generous player freedom. Previous games starting with "roll up a character and write a backstory" usually nets me boring characters with no motivation and players who are just there to roll dice.

The first session will be a heist job that they've all been tapped for, which should hopefully have them thinking like a party of unique individuals working towards a common goal none of them could achieve alone.

Other things I'm gonna try to enforce are: no distractions - offering minor benefits to players who remain active and not distracted (Pintrest mobile app might claim half my party if I don't get ahead of that). Speaking almost exclusively in character, and only using character names (I've had games where 10 sessions in no one knows anyone else's characters' name).


So my question, do you think these will work, and what else would you suggest? What questions should I add to my questionnaire to help create decent, believable characters? Before you recommend not playing Dungeons and Dragons, my players want in for that name brand experience, I can't sell them on a different system.


tl;dr how do you promote Role Play at your table?
