Can there be a good lich? Sure the ritual to become one is pretty shady, but what if someone uses those powers for the benefit of humanity or life as a whole?

I once had a character who's younger brother was a lich, and a pretty powerful one at that. He himself was a necro-fisto-mancer sky pirate named Elrick Edwards. His brother Bal'Phonse became a lich at a suspiciously young age in their backstory and got attacked by a group of heroes because of the implications just before the game started. They trapped his soul inside of a dongle and Elrick avenged/retrieved him later as a character arc.

Much later the party (the insane dwarf monk specifically) accidentally woke up some ancient horrific terrifying evil thing that would have meant an end to the skies and the world as we know it. Luckily, i roll very terribly when it counts and ended up basically eaten by the mass of weird forming around our dwarf. I was carrying the dongle (a black pearl) and Bal'Phonse got to cast a spell, and since he access to 9th level spells... i cast Giant form 2. Reason dwarf summoned the doomy god of doom? she dropped below 0 after a specific event. Know what giant form 2 gives you? regeneration 5. 2 turns of meteors later (i lost the will save) and the world is save, save a small town that is now a series of craters.

In the end Elrich and Bal'phonse merged their consciousness with the being and made a new god out of the three souls and god magic stuff (the dwarf got to come along too). Bal'phonse did most of the work.

It was a good way to die, not my favorite story, but a good one.

Okay.
So, as someone relatively new to D&D, I've noticed this underlaying hatred of Gygax from older players; almost on the level of old anime fans and the guy who created Robotech.

Why is that? I know he left TSR or something at the end of the 80s thanks to the Satanic Scare and created Tomb of Horrors to fuck with his own personal That Guy, but what's the real reason everyone hates the guy?

You're mistaking a vocal minority and people making it into a meme for an underlying trend.

>>51895138
Gygax designed some real bullshit, but I don't think people really seriously hate him, they were just salty that they fell for yet another cursed treasure style trap.

Trivia, who is Breya's boyfriend?

A friend of mine used the 3 dmg to end me before I dealt him 40+ dmg to end a 6 player ffa.

Is it just her color identity? How is she broke?

>>51894397
The Breya deck seems incredibly lopsided in how much good shit it has compared to the other commander decks in this wave. I think it also marks the first time supplemental product included a planeswalker that wasn't the actual featured card.

/tg/, I need your help, as I am torn. I want to start up a dungeon crawling game to fill in the gaps during my group's main campiagn. On the one hand, I really want to capture the hyper lethality and resource management of a lot of old school games. But on the other hand, I am absolutely in love with the semi-light-hearted tone of Dungeon Meshi, as well as the general slice of life nature of the whole thing. These two things kinda clash though, and I was wondering if there was any way to make them mesh well together? Or should I just mash them together regardless of my thoughts and see if it works?

The manga is kinda about resource management. I don't quite agree that they clash.

Also I'm very much in the same boat as you so I'm very much interested in where this goes.
>>
>>51893822
Dungeon Meshi is very adamant about monsters being crazy dangerous and supply management being important. You effectively just want a game where Chillchack might not feel the wind, or Laius has a chance to miss the dragon's jugular.
>>
>>51893822
The setting of Dungeon Meshi isn't really silly or cozy at all, it's mostly a bunch of harsh dangers and serious worldbuilding. Any jokes about the setting come by through little sidebars, most of the world is a dangerous dark place. The manga's lighthearted slice of life tone mostly comes from Marcille, Chillchack, Laius and Senshi being lovable goofs. That's something the players would need to provide, it's not something you'd be in control over.

One of you magnificent motherfuckers made this map for me years ago and I'm coming back for more help. The sea in the middle of the continent is in the middle of a mountain range. The walled city in the northeast is the capital. The dark green area in the south between the rivers is an Underdark equivalent called the Cuul and it's a goddamn magic swamp.

Find a local store or club that plays. Download duels of the planeswalkers and play that.

It's a waste of money where you give your hard-earned shekels to the happy paper merchant who gives you a shrink-wrapped pack of 15 or how ever many cards that have a completely arbitrary value that you can then use in a deck of 45+ more of them against autists with more money and time than sense or personality.

It's not worth it OP. Get into something less expansive and more fulfilling.

Less dumb clunky rules, more fun. Ask the OSR general, Basic's their jam. Especially Moldvay/Cook, or B/X.
(Mentzer's BECMI, what you've posted there, is a case of severe feature creep with stuff going to level 36 and beyond, and all sorts of add-on rules and things)

I've been thinking about some better looking terrain these days, for both RPG gaming and wargaming.

Probably nothing this elaborate (looks great but too impractical in terms of space).

Dwarven forge looks great but it's too expensive to get a lot of it. Terrainlinx look reasonable, but my foray into that was a disaster. Aerosol glue is not my friend. Dungeon tiles are underwhelming, tedious, and a pain to deal with.

Been recently looking at drunkens and dragons videos, and his new terrain looks really great, and he videos how he makes it.

Anybody have any good videos/articles/channels on the subject?

Any other store bought suggestions?

I do most of my terrain with heroscape pieces. It's kind of janky, and forces you into hexes, but keeps everything consistent, has just enough variety to make a setting change noticeable, and micky mousing a few detailed terrain pieces is easy since anything with a rough hex base will slot in easily.
>>
>>51893200
I've considered getting some of that.

How is it in practice? Does it take forever and a day to assemble?
