>>What theme do you think should be used for more games?

One involving everyone sending me $50 by Monday? Can you think of a cool theme that *doesn't* already have a board game out there?

Fantasy? Done...
Sci Fi? Done...
Dinosaurs? Done...
Pirates? Done...
Zombies? Done...
Ninjas? Done...
My Little Pony? Done (Oh God Why?!?)
Space Pirate Amazon Ninja Cat Girls? Done (No seriously - I have an unopened copy somewhere...)

I'm not really sure I want to play "Broccoli Force 5! - Vegetable Freedom Fighters"

>>52114209
I said MORE games. It can be used if it's been under-used.

I think a firefighting game better than Flash Point: Fire Rescue could be made.

>>52079550
what game is this?

>>52079829

I'd guess it's called "shattered void?"

Could you please take out the reference to /hwg/ in the OP so it doesn't always come up in a search?

Check the request thread

bluff for the purposes of getting bane to believe something not true, he failed that roll

intimidate for the purposes of trying to show bane who was boss, he failed that as well

>>52153532
Bluff check, which succeeded, giving a big bonus to the ensuing intimidate roll.

Also, Baneposting, and /tv/ memes in general are all forced garbage

Is it too much to ask for to be able to play a non-monk fist fighter that just wrecks people with violent punches and kicks?

I want to be a tough punchy dude.

>>52153350
Not at all! The Pugilist on the DM's Guild (lost the file itself, sorry) is exactly what you're talking about.

Is there a place where you can buy isometric dry erase battlemaps? Are they a bad idea?

That looks pretty fuckin' neato, but I reckon the disparity between the top-down models and that would be a bit fucky for me.

I'm also not familiar with, well, *anywhere* that seels such things. Guess someone should jump on that ball, eh?

First for the Hive Mind

There's 3d where i can find nfos about recasters?

Good lad.

>>52150216
Laugh as CSM and SM, a main selling point for 40k, get squatted and watch GWs stock drop like a rock.

With the necrons gone, the tyranids would just eat the whole galaxy unopposed. The Imperium, orks and Tau can only hold for so long. The necrons are the key to save the galaxy... even if they kill it afterwards.

Chaos and orcs are gone.

Nice.

I like the WW2 idea, but why make it so literal? Grimm lends itself well to Pan's Labyrinth style adventures where the whole campaign may as well be imagination running wild with children in dire situations. Take out the Golem and replace it with a passageway to the land of Grimm hidden in some old store. Make it a planked up bookstore or toy store or something else the children would want to explore anyways. Maybe one of the books is really the lever for a hidden door.
Adding Golems in the "real world" of Grimm is a trope you may want to keep up your sleeve for later. Magical creatures roaming the Ghetto is a powerful sign that it is all real and you may want to use that to another effect later on.

>>52151071
Thanks, saving the golem for later does seem like a good idea. Maybe I could introduce it in the Grimm lands as a side or guardian for the children and then have it show up in the real world to shock the players. The one problem that I have with the second idea is the method of moving between the Grimm lands and the real world, as I find the waiting flooding the room such a dynamic starting point. However moving between the two worlds causes more difficulty, I do like the idea of using various portals for symbolism. I was thinking of including some sort of in between world, either a wood between the worlds type place or some sort of endless staircase, what do you think?

>>52151162
I recommend watching Pan's labyrinth for transition.

If you want a world in-between make sure that it has its own challenges and doesn't just function as a secure shelter. The watchtower of the video game The Longest Journey springs to mind.

Often those worlds inbetween are some sort of Labyrinth, which offers the added advantage that you can make those places looming. A sense of dread as scratching noises can be heard from various corridors or moans that seem to close in on the characters. Make sure to always give them a way out in this case though unless you want your players to frantically talk over each other or constantly ask about how certain paths look.

A dynamic start to the game can also be achieved in the Ghetto with non-supernatural means. Let them discover the store, explore a bit, maybe give them a roll or two for them to get used to the rules and then have the Ghetto guards start looking for them. Knocking on the barricades, shouting in German for them to come out or maybe even bullets being shot into the store are good motivators for them to use whatever passageway they found.

A lot of it frankly seems boring to me. I prefer something a bit more stylistic.

Jace the Mind Sculptor will NEVER be unbanned.

If you've ever played with him in Modern, you'll remember how broken he was.

If anything, Modern needs a restricted list.

PSA: I've been told by multiple sources that distributors are allowed to offer MM2017 packs to big box stores. This doesn't mean that they will. Wizards gave permission to all distributors a few weeks back that they will have the option to sell MM2017 product to all non-WPN businesses.

Let this be a caution to those considering boxes for $200 +

Just bought sets of foil jtms, sfm, preordain, twin, bbe and dark depths

We were on page 5, you dumb dumb.

How much of the meme characters are memed on basically 90% by the characters' own players wanting attention?

And why are there so many "meme characters" anyway?

>>52148685
>>52148674

Because even those archetypal adventurers have connections to the setting and things they care about.

Murderhobo adventurers, whether through a lack of player interest or a defence mechanism against awful GMs, actively eschew all forms of investment in the setting, ensure there is nothing to get in their way/overcomplicate things/that the GM can use against them.

If that is the tone of the game, fine. People who bellyache about murderhobos usually mean those that are clashing with the game itself, e.g. an intrigue game where collateral damage man can't keep his sword in his pants and out of key assets' bodies.

>>52148266
For probably 70% of the time, Fafhrd and the Gray Mouser cared about literally nothing but themselves and each other. And occasionally doing missions for their patrons.
>>52148359
That's reasonable.

>>52148222
That's fine. Nothing wrong with using a map you haven't made yourself.
And not confirming the source discourages possible metagaming attempts a bit.

>>52148222
Seems fine. Weird that he wont admit it but id let it go. In fact its not a bad idea come to think of it

Hell, early games I ran used floorplans of actual buildings that I scaled to a hexgrid. Can't really find them as easily, anymore.

Pretty cool idea, though. I should try stealing it.

>>52148131

Not really, running away from shit can still be action-y if it's dressed up in a way to feel exciting and intense rather than terrifying and dread-inducing.

Action is riding a roller coaster up to the highest peak. Horror is riding a roller coaster up to the highest peak and then suddenly hearing a suspicious clunk.

No? Not at all?

I'm slightly confused by the point of this thread, starting with such a bizarre statement that doesn't seem to lead anywhere.

No, its compounded by isolation, out-manned, outgunned, or dealing with an unknown enemy. They are similar in vein but its a slider. It depends on how the situations are portrayed and how people react to them.
