When he plays Orks, there IS enough dakka.

The sisters of battle want to call him tinier brother.

Still plays cryx.

Here is the map from my current campaign. I think I have improved a LOT in the design department from this one to the OP one.

Only posting the small one as the full image is over the size limit. And I didn't make it but it works for my world.

First for ew

think it'll be reasonably easy to field the triumvitriate units in a commorrite army?

Come up with various adventure hooks for what you already do have set and come up with ideas for where they could start. Figure certain races could start in one location whereas certain classes would start in another.

>>51341852
I've already begun woking on some "adventure guidelines", basically skeletons of quests and a story for the world. What they then want to do is sort of up to them, but it affects their starting positions depending on what races they choose.

Make some basic dungeon frameworks, fill in the details and specific enemies when you know what the climate, area etc is like.

There is a new board for that called /qst/. You should head that way.

He'd be wearing it on his dick within the hour.

On the positive side he can run really, really fast so none of Sauron's minions will get it either.

Yes. She absolutely loathes relying on power not her own.
Getting there in a flying doom fortress would be an easier ride as well.

No. A barbarian seeking glory, strength and fortune. He would have worn the ring to gain more power and it probably would have just went out of control from there.

>Sanity or stress mechanics

I think D&D doesn't really work with sanity. One of the underlying assumptions (that's been getting stronger, if anything) is autonomy over your character.

That said, I saw a suggestion for an exhaustion-like sanity mechanic (i.e. you gain levels of insanity upon being subject to particular effects/failing particular saves).

Insanity levels:
1. Disadvantage on knowledge checks; advantage on athletics checks
2. Disadvantage on mental ability checks; speed +5
3. Disadvantage on saving throws; advantage on strength and constitution checks
4. Disadvantage on attack rolls; speed +10
5. Mental ability checks fail automatically; gain True Sight
6. Complete mental breakdown (character is a crazy NPC)

I don't know if it'll work, but I wouldn't mind trying it out in a game.

>>51341146
Yeah I can see stress being it's own thing maybe it has it's own downsides.

Is Heavy Armor Mastery feat any good? does the -3 damage worth it? At least the stat bump is worth it

Assuming 5e...

Probably Forgotten Realms. If not, try Greyhawk. I like Eberron though, because I can do what I want with that.

There are no wrong options as far as classes go, unless you're playing 3.5.

Fighter and Rogue are both good for newbies. The basic idea behind them is very simple, but they offer enough options that as the players get more experienced they can start doing their own thing.

The important question here is: What edition are you going to run?

For 5e, the most basic class to play is the Champion Fighter. It was literally designed to be the simplest and easiest class to understand and play, and it actually is pretty strong as well.
In general, the hardest part of learning a character is learning all the spells, so if you want something simple, just stick to the classes that have few spells or none.

As for setting, you can just sort of use a generic medieval setting and not worry too much. You can also use Forgotten Realms, because it's one of the more popular ones and there's a fair amount of decent novels and adventures that can expand the setting for you.

>>51340699
Pic unrelated, I hope. You have six elements?

Fire = red
Water = blue
Air = green
Earth = orange
Light = yellow
Dark = purple

If you can bump that up to eight elements...

Fire = red
Water (includes ice) = blue
Air (includes electric) = cyan
Earth (includes metal) = orange
Wood (includes poison) = green
Light = yellow
Dark = purple
Psychic = magenta

>>51341311
Only six, pic in unrelated.
>Air = green
Why? This bothered me since Bionicles.

OP here, I'm going to veto that shit because it contradicts the first post in the thread, and it's pretty damn obvious you posted it to be contrarian.

> A species of hyperintelligent, slimy, and immense squid-like creatures control most of the galaxy's illicit trade. Their language is extremely complicated and requires multiple sets of vocal cords to speak, and the name for their species is nearly impossible to pronounce, so other species call them Zurkehti, an extremely simplified version of their actual species name.

One of my players played a lawful evil tiefling and another played a lawful good human cleric.
They grew up together and were best friends. They had the same enemy throughout the campaign to keep them focused.
Their interactions were great. Quite a lot of fairly generic "bicker, bicker, bicker - Team up bro stuff when it matters F*@K Yea!"
But it was a grand old time.

>>51340592
Gotta love the LE+LG team ups. I've done that before as a LE warlock with a LG dwarf paladin. The rest of the party was kinda spineless and prone to overthinking every thing they did so there were plenty of times where we had to go "Fuck it, we know what the right thing to do here is."

It helped that the paladin was kinda stupid so he never questioned when things went horribly wrong. Like the time I accidentally destroyed two small island nations with a tide of zombies while saving my character's wife.

>>51340660
It was fun when the cleric took his eyes off the warlock for 2 hours to deal with wizard bullshit and the Warlock lead a revolution, killed the Archduke, put another tiefling friend in charge and was made high commander of the city state.

This is my shitpost Cyoa.

Something a little more practical than OP.

A crit in 5e lets you roll double damage dice. In order to avoid the problem of rolling double ones or twos, we assume one of the dice comes up max and roll the other. So, a crit with a longsword does 8+D8+mods damage, for instance.
