Tell stories about when your players were blatantly retarded.
Here is an example:
>NPCs talking about a hobgoblin army forming in the mountains
>NPCs tell PCs how merchant caravans are raided, but not killed unless they resist, and a portion of their goods taken
>PCs hired as guards for a caravan against these hobgoblins specifically
>heading through the passes they know contain hobgoblins
>PCs don't bother keeping watch
>PCs don't scouting ahead
>Two PCs are drinking, one is in a caravan brewing potions, the other is behind the caravan on his horse trying to woo a female NPC
>no one sees the hobgoblins on top of the bluff overlooking the road
>hobgoblins have set up a barricade down the road
>two hobgoblins there, they announce "Offer your wagons for inspection and no one will be injured, we will take a tithe for the maintaining of the safety of the mountain roads."
>PCs come up front as the leader of the caravan says he isn't gonna surrender their goods
>Two hobgoblins tell the party they need to comply or action will be taken to force them to comply, unless they wish to turn around and head back where they came
>Caravan leader tells the PCs to kill them
>PCs start going for weapons
>One hobgoblin blows a whistle, from over the barricade a rope ladder is thrown down
>Other hobgoblin pulls out his sword
>from behind the PCs they hear a crash, a log was thrown from atop the cliff into the road to block the path back for the wagons
>Hobgoblins grab the rope ladder as initiative starts
>Round 1 they start getting pulled up over the barricade as one fends off the PCs with his sword
>From above hobgoblin archers are firing down
>This is one of only like 5 passes through the mountains, the garrison here was 30 hobgoblins, 10 in the barricade, 20 on the cliff with their camp 300ft back
>Hobgoblins above target the PCs and other caravan guards

>Fighter goes to try and break down the barricade, it's just lashed and tarred together logs, it's pretty solid
>Other PCs fire back and realize the hobgoblins are shooting from behind cover and there are a ton of them
>Eventually a bunch of guards and two PCs go down
>Fighter decides it's time to book it, grabs the two unconscious guys and goes down the cliff (it's a 30ft drop, he bet he could survive)
>He does and books it into the woods
>Other caravan guards and merchants are doing the same, abandoning their stuff
>All in all 8 of the 24 men in the caravan died, another 10 were badly injured.
>6 men died to arrows, 2 men died in the jump down
>7 of the injured were left behind
>party blamed for what happens
>Hobgoblins decline to pursue the party, but now they're without supplies in the middle of the forrest in enemy territory with a group of injured merchants and caravan guards who hate them.
So is it my fault the PCs walked into an ambush. Sure a caravaner told them to go for it, but he thought it was because the PCs were so cocksure that he didn't need to worry. If the PCs has gone ahead and scouted out they could have found the hobgoblins and handled the camp by picking them off, or by leading the caravan guards to raid the hobgoblin camp in the night. Overall they didn't try to defend themselves and just walked into a prepared ambush.

>Players exploring desert looking for rogue wizard fucking up nearby towns
>Players don't pay much attention to surroundings and get caught in quicksand
>Rogue manages to throw a length of rope and hook it onto a nearby rock and pull himself out
>Rest of party follows his lead except for paladin
>Refuses to use the rope for some reason, instead keeps trying to struggle out on his own
>Makes shit roll after shit roll
>Sinks deeper and deeper, only head is above the surface now
>Still insists on trying to struggle out
>Sinks beneath surface
>I HOLD MY BREATH
>Paladin takes damage from suffocation over next few minutes
>Okay X with no apparent way to escape from this you suffocate to death
>Player gets mad and starts screaming about railroading
I honestly don't know what he was expecting, some random npc to save him or something?

The unfortunate attitude among a lot of players I've run games for is that, while a good DM never throws problems at the party that they can't handle, some players interpret this to mean they don't need to plan or think at all to succeed. This gives you a good opportunity from here to make them think tactically and creatively travelling through the forest with limited supplies and hated by the hobgoblins and caravaneers.

Do you go for classic names of antiquity?
Halo-style names?

I'm making a character who is the son of a knight but hated the courts and became an adventurer. Would he have a title?

If his father just assumed it'll be a passing flight of fancy and that he'd be back home in a bit, yes, he would.
If his father decided to disown the son over his idiotic decision to tarnish the family's name by becoming a common adventurer, then no, he wouldn't.
>>
He'd have a courtesy title like "sir" or "lord" or whatever, but he doesn't have any official title until pops kicks the bucket.

>>55062739
Fictional feudal systems vary, but in my mind, no. If his father was a landed knight and he stood to inherit property, that's different.

Yes i know Lore of Life has some water spells and the Ice Witches of Kislev (they were laylines and ancient human magic though), but seriously why is there no wind of water/ice was it because colors, cause they are lacking orange and indigo on the magic college color wheel. Philosophically and religiously there shouldn't be a problem, the school relates to Manaan and philosophically it could follow a taoist principle of life is like a river where rocks ( events and actions) shapes ones path and knowing when to divert and when to go with the flow.

What i meant to say why is lore of Water/Ice not part of the winds of magic

>>55061968
I think it's because Ice Magic is more akin to divine magic, like what priests of Sigmar can do, at least for Kislev.

One of my players is a Hand Path Monk who in his downtime wants to buy an unoccupied building and open a school to train ordinary people in unarmed combat and monk practices. In essence he wants to open a Kung Fu Dojo.
I have no idea what the operating costs for such a thing should be can anyone give me maybe some direction on this? Also what would be some sorts of events or benefits that could keep the building from being a background revenue machine.

I'm putting together the initial test version for a board game I've thought up and I'm to the stage that I'm making the cards for it but I got about an hour into cutting and writing on index cards when I realized how much faster and cleaner it would be if I could just print them out. But I want some advice.
Anyone have experience with any card maker programs or templates? I'm entirely willing to purchase software but I'm seeing a lot of stuff that is like "you can make ONE thing for 6 bucks but you aren't allowed to do anything with it" or "you can make ONE thing for 750 bucks and I guess you can sell it if you have to".
I just need something for idiots because I have zero experience with photo shop.

Right around the time someone goes back in time and ensures that the paladin class never ceases to be. The very existence of the class cheapens morally driven character concepts by tying the concept of a morally driven character to a specific character class, so it will always be "sure, your fighter is a good guy, but not enough of a good guy to be a paladin, amirite?"

ITT we talk about TCGs, and group card games. Currently, it's mostly Yugioh, but more things are welcome.

Board games and table tops are welcome there too.

So I'm DMing right now with a reasonably large group. I'm expecting a party of around 7 tonight. I have most things figured out but I was wondering if anyone had ideas for decent random encounters of any variety for these guys. Looking for the general area of CR 0-5.

What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://mengtzu.github.io/exalted/sakuya.html
. It’ll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. How do I find a group?
