That pretty much goes without saying.

Yes, one of my party members frequents this board and often posts to 5e general, especially when a new arcana hits.
He's easily recognizable by his "wizards of the coast, not fighters who can boast" pasta and his glee every time wizards can overpowered shit again.

No. What we know about Finnish mythology is reconstructed and plainly made up in the 19th century. Original sources don't exist, because it was oral tradition. The best we can do is to look at folklore and extrapolate from there what kind of belief system might have originated such traditions and sayings.

>>52553292
Finns will happily tell you all about their made up glorious history, though.

>>52553292
That's not the whole truth. There's a lot of late 19th and early 20th century bullshit to be sure, but some Swedish-language notes have survived from when the indigenous beliefs weren't extinct yet.

Swedish-speaking researchers also studied ancient Finnish religious practices after the fact but before the 19th c.

forget being cautious.

Play your characters like you would drive a stolen car.

>>52552665
But we also want to get shit done. If I drive against a tree with a stolen car the instant I get in, I might aswell walk.

We are currently playing a campaign (after only playing a bunch of one-shots before), and a character dying in mid-campaign would mean that everything he gathered to solve the campaign would be lost, and a new character would basically start at zero.

>>52552752

If everyone is at lvl 5 and your character dies, your GM shouldn't make you reroll a new character at lvl 1. Letting you pick up again like nothing happened is one thing, but making you start all the way over is another.

Same thing that happens to any discussion on any board on 4chan that lasts beyond three threads; it devolved into cliques and becomes hard for new comers to join as the collective group develops their own memes and mannerisms.

The reduced number of new people means the growth stalls and eventually stops by the sixth thread.

With the fresh input having disappeared, the regulars lose interest too and eventually it withers and dies by the tenth thread.

Beyond the tenth thread it is effectively a dignity-less zombie. It has no dignity because it refused to take a bow and leave when it had dignity. It is a zombie because the mind is rotting and it moves clumsily forward without no real thought put into it.

It happened to Disney Villains Victorious, it happened to the original Love and Krieg, it happened to Love and Krieg 2.0 and it has happened to dozen of other fluff writing threads where people start valuing the circle jerk.

I'd politely sage your thread, but I think the people who make the many "General" threads on /tg/ needs to see this too because it applies there as well.

>>52552772
Generals are usually about actual system though, which will at least draw in new people interested about those systems. Also you forgot one little thing:

They petered out because they were shit and they only lasted cause nobody wanted to hurt the writers fee fees

>>52553083
>which will at least draw in new people interested about those systems
Right insofar that is the intended effect.
It is wrong because that doesn't actually happen, instead when someone new asks a simple question they are met with anger because people have been asked that people so much they can't tell trolls from genuine curiosity. (Inb4 "/tg/ is untrollable", just make any comment on sexism in any thread and it is instantly derailed.)
Then the new guys are told to read the OP where all the information is conveniently gathered in paste bins, maybe a few Google Docs, but is so disorganised the new people can't figure out heads or tails and they tend to give up. If they don't give up, the sheer volume of information they are now feel obligated to read through before asking any questions will also be a massive deterrence, making it hard for new people to get into it.
Not impossible, but very hard.

>they were shit and they only lasted cause nobody wanted to hurt the writers fee fees
No argument from me there, that is also an important detail I decided to skirt over only passingly mentioning the circle jerk.

Sujin?

Im In Japan.
Where you at?

>>52552065
How about instead of posting on 4chan, you go out and meet some new people

>>52552478
I am actually in the same boat as OP

Not a whole lot of people play TTRPGs or games other than Warhammer or Infinity.

sorry OP i am kind of an AJ dudebro but i still need my gamin if you don't REEE like r9k

Legend of the Elements is a good system

it's PbtA, the combat mechanics encourage mobility and using the terrain, and the playbooks do a good job getting the 'feel' of each bending style

>Ty Lee apparently has two huge bone plates in her mouth

I was playing a Warlord and I hit people with the Thief.

Until she backstabbed us.

Still salty about that.

>>52551309
Literally using the thief as a weapon? Or give her openings to backstab the opponent?

>What does /tg/ think of a non-human setting?

A good decision. I'm tired of having humans shoved in my fucking face in every setting.

Sympathizing with a character is a fundamental part of giving a shit about a story. I don't think that it's impossibly to sympathize with an elf or goblin or whatever, but I think being unable to is a serious flaw. I kind of feel like taking humans out of the picture kind of defeats the purpose of fantasy races for certain stories to a degree since they're basically defined by the ways they aren't human, but there's plenty of settings without humans that work fine

I'm getting into Fragged Empire right now, and I really like the idea of humans as the mysteries long-dead ancient race. It gives the setting a unique flavor.

Second for the sneaky, stabbin', cunnin' grots!

New to age of sigmar. If I take a battalion with heros and battle line unites do they count towards the minimum battle line I need to take?

Here is the skink list I am thinking of:
Skink chief -60
Skinks -80
Bastilidon - 300

Shadowstrike starhost
Skink priest - 100
Skinks- 80
Chameleon skinks -120
Ripperdactyls - 140

Eclipse Phase.
