>"Some interesting rumours coming from 75Hastings69 (basically one of the most accurate rumour folks out there, rarely wrong) about the future of 40K.. as with any rumour I'd advise salt, but this is Hastings, so Its definitely in the credible bracket for me.. although some might not like this direction if it indeed turns out to be true, myself, I'm just interested to see where 40K is going.

>75hastings69 wrote..
I wouldn't be expecting too much in the way of releases for existing chapters from this point going forwards, not that there won't be 'some', expect the focus to shift onto GW pumping out RGs new armies and weapons of destruction for the upcoming storylines/advances/crusade mk2 (who knows there might even be a new starter box on the not too far horizon)

>Without trying to sound like a dick I've known for almost 9 months where this story was going and who revived RG etc. if the rest of what I was told is true (new marines, Mortarion and his plague armies etc.) then there are truly some very exciting times coming for 40k players/hobbyists!

Well, the quality might not be as consistent, but i find it to be more watchable since there are less people and the atmosphere is more chill, at the cost of being slow sometimes. There are many campaigns in the franchise's history that all use different systems. The recent ones definitely have better production quality

>Rollplay strength
Usually 3-4 players, which is a very ideal group, especially for online stuff.

A lot more variety. Sci fi, high fantasy, low fantasy. Some modern/apocalypse one shots.

Feels more organic, pre-game chat about whatever stuff they have been doing (like gaming etc). Jokes are usually well delivered, and a hefty mix of IC and OOC jokes.

>Weakness
Sometimes the jokes can take out the seriousness of the scene. I don't think this happens too often.

Certain shows are cancelled. My favorite show was cancelled because the owner didn't want several shows running the same system (even though the style was vastly different). Cancelled shows are a huge bummer.

Bind a powerful soul to even the body of a small child and the result will be quite fearsome. But split it up and you could potentially power an army of undead warriors with it, and quantity has a quality all its own.

Been reading through Mythic Britain and I find myself wanting to know more about the British isles at that time and other places.

Does anybody have any good sources? I'm particularly interested in anything people have about at the time druidism, and anything about Ireland circa 500ad, but mainland European regions near Britain could also be interesting.

I might be misremembering things, but there's actually only like one historical reference to druids; Roman, maybe, and all it's about are some dudes who climb trees.

To start, that's an overview about the sources we generally have.

I don't know a ton about the subject though and don't have any great sources about the 5th and 6th century to point to.
>>
What Druids were actually like is not very well known since most of it comes from Greeks and Romans who did not have a great understanding of foreign religions.


Modern Druidism is essentially Wiccan.

Hey, new DM here who is running a free form RP with my group; and I need some help with coming up with ideas. I need some ideas for magical items for a modern-day urban fantasy setting that a normal human being could use. The setting is very polytheistic, all the gods and myths are represented in this world. I wouldn't mind a mix of old artifacts and modern day items that have been enchanted.

An honest, sincere question to fans of D&D 3.5:

How do you get around all the supplement bookkeeping? The amount of options available to classes to level the playing field and introduce more interesting options (PHB1 feats are mostly atrocious and martials have no options at all) and a bit more flavor is, to me, daunting. Here I am reading PHB2 - even if I won't run the system, it has some fun ideas and writing behind it (I'm kind of interested in various game systems recently) - only to learn that this PHB refers back to supplements like Complete Adventurer and many others.

I know that the OGL makes everything free now, but it still seems difficult to settle on which book to choose and play.

It's not like people don't play those things - I constantly read stories on /tg/ about beguilers, dread necromancers, warblades and what not.

But how the fuck do you choose what is best and how do you manage to navigate it through all the fluff in the book?

To placate the possible edition war shitstorm and HYTNPD&D, pic related is a friendly PC portrait/concept. I don't want trouble.

People have made searchable SRDs. It's one of the big things PF has going for it- there's too much splat bloat, but at least it's easy to comb though.
>>
>>52096247
This is one of the reasons I swapped to PF- there's a number of sites that make organizing the info way easier (D2pfsrd and Archives of Nethys are personal faves). 3.5 has the srd, but it's only core. Is DnDtools still up? I know it was good.
>>
You're supposed to own the books, anon.

And I do. I own EVERY SINGLE 3.5 SUPPLEMENT except for BoVD and setting-specific books (and I have a lot of those, too).

But... yeah, splatbook insanity gets to be a bit much. That's why I support not having splats refer to one another, only to the core book, and having them structured so that a fighter build will only use 1 or 2 books.

5e just threw out character customization altogether and the system isn't even structured for converting 3.5 so I will stick to my third edition books.

> But how the fuck do you choose what is best and how do you manage to navigate it through all the fluff in the book?

You read a lot of the books until you know the feats somewhat and can think "oh yeah I can use that feat from this book." I usually copy down the rules text onto index cards if its a character I am seriously running.

Calling All DMs: I need help.
I have a character in my DnD 5e campaign that I can't seem to balance.
Here are her stats:
Race: Drow
Class: Warlock(Fiend) 5/Kensai(Shinobi) 4/Fighter 1 (With Tunnel Fighter from "Unearthed Arcana")
Feats: Sentinel, War Caster, Polearm Mastery
Magic Items: An Amulet that casts Darkness in a 15 foot Radius, A Sword with +2 to damage (not much use), and a magic book that used to be a 3rd level wizard, that she must spend an action to cast from, using the books's spell slots.

She was hard to balance mostly because of her tendency to kill things with a polearm from a distance, or just fireball everything to death from range. (The book is a relatively new addition).

Any suggestions?

I'd suggest a katana, but I hear those are underpowered in 5e

>>52095652
Oh, Additional helpful info:
warlock abilities are eldritch sight, devil's sight, and thirsting blade.

The player's fighting style in their own words:
>"And fighting, I typically maneuver myself in front of the party to draw agro, evaluate ranged threats, and enter stance. If there are only a few enemies, I might try hexing them and lazor away(If I do this, I can't enter defensive stance). If there are lots, I check if I can fireball."

How would you make an enemy made entirely out of paper challenging?

I've already considered
>paper cuts
>paper armor
>folding into different shapes like origami
>ability to float in strong winds

My main concern is that as an enemy, it would be easy to either douse them in water or light them on fire, which I don't want to eliminate as a possibility. I just want to make the enemy formidable for the time it takes before the players can use those methods to defeat them

What does "being made of paper" mean exactly? If he can produce and store paper, giving him the ability to dispense a flood of papers with explosive runes on them would be pretty fucking dangerous.

>Boss fight is nudged in the heroes' favour by a simple parlor trick
>Old abilities/skills/equipment that had fallen into disuse turn out to be critical in the upcoming fight.
>The BBEG is right to be defending the mcguffin with all his forces, because it /is/ a source of unspeakable evil or the like - but instead of playing the moral high ground, he just uses it as an excuse to attack outsiders

Low tier villain is completely and recklessly delusional, like he believes he's actually a dragon and when the party confronts him, he flings himself from his tower believing he will fly. He doesn't.

I'm running a fantasy nation builder, and one player figured out a way to create a railgun. The random event table gave him rare resources and he got especially magnetic rocks that conduct electricity well depending on their temperature. The nation he's building has creatures that can generate electrical current like an electric eel. By placing the rocks in a line and charging them in sequence he proposes to fire a high velocity projectile.
Keep in mind this is a fantasy setting.
I'm trying to let the players have as much free reign as possible, but this just seems somewhere between ridiculous and overpowered. On the other hand, it's creative, interesting, and could bring some interesting flavor to the world. I've denied other players things before, like a perpetual acceleration machine because it could break the planet, but I don't like restricting them too much.

What do?

Make the railguns good but prone to failures and not overpowered in damage?

Make the railgun good but the ammunition needs to be said special rare magnetic recourses. making it a few shot at most.
>>
>>52094447
Point out to him that the timing on a railgun's circuit is actually really difficult to pull off, and that even with modern computer technology it's still pretty hard. To do this with analog systems would take superhuman precision and control, especially with the inconsistent power output resulting from using animals instead of proper electrical transformers. If he wants a railgun, he'd better create a custom spell to manage it. And once that's done, the railgun can be limited like you would access to any other spell. I don't know what system you're using, but whether spell slots or mana pools or just high difficulties to cast powerful spells, you can limit its use that way.
