Years ago. Decades now (holy fuck)
Passive aggressive, bunch of hicks who couldnt roleplay their way out of a paper bag
GM with a god complex and no real critique of his special system
They have an established monty haul game running for ages through multiple systems. They 'let me in fairly' at about level 6 in Dnd 3.5

UGH

Such overhyped shit. But it was formative. Fun in a way. Otherwise, why would I be here running GURPS games as well as I do?

>>52299040
Played with a fat neckbeard guy who was demoing DnD at my local game store

I was literally 10 at the time, had no idea what I was doing and played a rogue.Honestly I can't remember anything about the session other then that. Also there was like 10 fucking players and combat dragged on forever. Looking back I had no idea how I enjoyed it enough to stick with it for 15-odd years.

A bunch of theater fags in high school. We played Ars Magica. Went pretty well.

How do you feel about the new UA?

>>52298430
I like them. They're like a sideways version of multiclassing but often with their own twist.

How do I convince boring people to use a fighting style other than sword and shield?

Super Stand Sundays can give you a full list, but off the top of my head...

With even more overpowered mentally unstable manchildren.

Must you tempt him so?
Do you delight in the chaos his passing brings?

Depends on the setting and system.

The vast, vast majority of fantasy RPGs (even the ones which claim a degree of authenticity/simulation or show scorn towards narrative/metagame stuff) basically rely on genre conventions to make fighting a dragon work. The dragon lands and fights the heroes because that's what dragons do, as it were.

Some games go for 'realistic' dragons that don't fly or put some limitation on them to explain why exactly the dragon isn't flying around all over the place, completely out of range of the PC's and incinerating them from that distance, but they're a rare breed.

Cunts

ogryn are pretty great

Everyone wants to fuck SoB! But no one can fuck them harder than GW!

Yes?

I thought characters like that were a commong thing in sci-fi.

It depends on the level of the life extension tech
If it is at a certain level hundred to thousand year old characters wouldn't be out of the question

Neat.

Going onto a random website and asking people for advice on a problem with a obvious solution.

Just tell the player you don't like it.

Making threads just so you have excuses to post your OC (again).

Do it anyway. Play fucking Limp Bizkit like he's a god damn professional wrestler if that's what he wants, and if everything works out it will at least be funny

>>52292560
Obviously we need to wipe out these ungrateful shits and start over with races only capable of mindless devotion to our glory. The souls of the present faithful will be allowed to reincarnate as these new beings in a paradise world.

Have the Sun God fuck some maids pure of heart and soul, and father demigods born and bred to lead Mortalkind to piety and greatness.

At the same time, invent hell and have the God of the Underworld find someone to work it, insists it's a "part time gig."

>>52292560
Kill all the ones that started this shit, who don't feel bad for it, and/or were mostly aware of what they were doing. Tell everyone else who sided with us or atleast still worked to save the very existence they are a part of "Good Job, you either aren't a failure or atleast not a complete failure. Here's a Divine Cookie, it tastes really good on a conceptual level but that's about it. For now atleast.". We must then send the Not!Buddha and Not!Christ onto them in the foreseeable future in an attempt to properly guide them, in one form or another.

Invent Hell for the others who will dissuaded by it and have an actual chance to burn their negative karma away, and just off the others, soul and all, who that kind of shit doesn't work on. Everything else is fine, we're just changing the punishments for them being lil' or big shits.

When it comes to mortals of the Humanish sort, there isn't much you can really do, a unnerving amount of them really don't care about anything other than they personally want. Punish the bad ones, stop them before they can do REALLY bad shit that requires us to intervene, and reward the good ones for their valiant attempts at defying their "soulless" kin.

It's a 90s superhero game, yes.

That's to be expected from something written to simulate Superman at Earth's End.

Oh
Also, how do i beat aztecs as the mayans

That's it. I'm sick of all this "Mattel Toy" bullshit that's going on in the d20 system right now. M-16's deserve much better than that. Much, much better than that.

I should know what I'm talking about. I myself bought a M-16 at a gun show for $1,350 (That's about 1100 5.56x45mm rounds) and have been practicing with it for almost 2 years now. Even solid slabs of steel are perforated by my M-16.

M-16's are built from the best composits and aliumnium and forged up to a million times to produce the best rifle known to mankind.

M-16's are thrice as powerful than AK-74's and thrice as accruate too. Anything that can be shot by a AK-74 an M-16 can do better. I'm pretty sure a M-16 can penetrate through a knight wearing full plate with just a single trigger pull.

Ever wonder why the Soviets never invaded the United States? That's right thay were too scared of the U.S. soldiers and their Black Rifles. Even in the Vietnam War the North Vietnamese targeted the soldiers with M-16's first because their killing power was feared and respected.

So what am I saying? M-16's are simply the best rifle the world has ever seen, and thus, require better stats in the d20 system. Here is the stat block I propose for M-16's.

Cost $950

Rate of fire 900 rounds per minute

Magazine size 20,30 or 100 rounds

range 440 yards

bullet speed 3,282 feet per second

Weight 7.2 pounds

bullet 5.56x45mm M855 Light Armor Piercing (Ignores armor saves and tumbles causing incapation wounds)

Now thats seems a lot more representive of the firepower of the M-16 in real life don't you think?

tl;dl = M-16 need to do more damage in the d20 system, see my new stat block.

This is the closest thing I've got.

4e is considered by many to have the most fun combat, as long as you are into the grid based tactics thing.

Strike! is an extreme streamlining of 4e's mechanics, taking some inspiration from other sources as well (XCOM for the cover system, for example).

I'd recommend checking them. They are by no means perfect, but the combat is pretty fun.

Roleplaying is much more fun than combat. Sure you might kill a few beholders in your tabletop career but you'll always remember that rat you kicked like a soccer ball at level 1.

>4E dnd

setting info.

Vampire Lord: he has been the ruler the longest, well over 800+ years, he was a general before he became a lord and lead his soldiers to killing the previous emperor. everyone was originally vampire like him.

currently all his resources go to the war against his Lich enemy, he is so focused on fighting the lich that he neglects his own people.

Lich: he came into power not too long ago, roughly 150 fish, he sought power of course, and did literally anything it took to achieve this. now that he has near immortality he's researching a way to basically harvest human souls on a mass scale to enact some sort of super spell.

Currently he's locked away in his necropolis commanding a whole army of undead to capture or kill various citizens, as well as fight the vampire lords army. but with every dead soldier his army grows.

the reason people haven't entirely left his domain even with all the murder is because its unsafe to leave town walls or you might get slaughtered by the armies of undead. its still unsafe within the walls, but at least theres protective wards helping keep the undead away.

any questions?

>>52289086
correction, Everyone from his kingdom originally were vampires. now normie humans have moved in. and the vampires dwindle.

>>52289106
How did the vampires survive without humans? Did humans move in to escape the lich?
