You have two sentences to give your best description of your DnD campaign setting. What are they?

Good god and bad god fought over the world. Good god died and got most of the mortals to love it while bad god got knocked out after the fight.
>>54998902
The Academy of ... Higher Arcane Learning is where folks who can't afford private schooling go to learn how to be highly irresponsible with the forces of magic.
>>54998902
It's really fucking cold. Go find out why it's so fucking cold.
Has anyone else ever given this game a shot? It's a great deal of fun playing as knights in the setting that it presents, and it's completely acceptable to create your own stories along the way rather than just sticking hard to the books full force.
Any good stories to tell?
>>54998203
It's a very good game, but only if you have the right group and are willing to lean on its unique features, like hereditary succession and castle/baronial management
For heraldry nerds: wappenwiki.org
Anybody know any good software for designing coats of arms? not looking for anything with like a billion shitty clipart charges, just something that actually has the basics down easily (chevrons, crosses, lozenges, various partings of the field, basic heraldic furs like ermine and vair, etc.). I've googled and everything I find is either way overpriced, so old I doubt it would run on W10, or both. And they all look like shit.

the banhammer is coming down next Monday, and we will be waiting with bated breath to see what gets hit, so. With that in mind if you could garuntee a certain card to be banned what one will you pick and why?
also what old mechanic would you like to see brought back seeing how the edhbabs got phasing on one of their new cards
Death's shadow for a ban. I don't think it's that oppressive but Wizards are pretty reactionary sometimes and this could become the new Splinter Twin.

Design a card that would be useless in standard/edh but tier 0 busted af abuse before it gets banned in modern
Let's make a Mythos, /tg/. I'm the proud new owner of a copy of Silent Legions, and I figured what better place to break in the charts than here.
Somebody give me a d4 to see how many outer gods there are/how many pantheons they're divided into
Rolled 4 (1d4)
>>54988347
>>54988364
>>54988364
Cool. That means that we have 2d6+2, with half in a pantheon and the other half just doing their own thing.
Someone roll that for me, and another d4 to see how many traits our pantheon has
Rolled 6, 3 + 2 = 11 (2d6 + 2)
>>54988405
Number of gods.

just try to play an interesting character that makes sense in the setting and not your sexual fetish, or to show the other people how much cooler and more special than everyone else your character is

Friday is here again, and thus the Storythread returns to bring joy and merriment to all. Well, to some. Okay, maybe only a small portion of /tg/ pays attention to these threads, but /we're/ the cool ones, right?
This is a thread for creative writing of /tg/-related fiction, so epic campaign greentexts and other non-fiction go elsewhere. If you have /tg/ related stories to post, post them here, and hopefully some kind anon will give you feedback (or at least acknowledge that someone did actually read it, which let's face it is what writefags really want).
What counts as /tg/-related? Anything someone could plausibly use in a campaign (which means basically anything if you have enough imagination).
If you don't have a story ready then I and other anons will be posting pictures throughout the thread for you to test your writing skills on. This is, more or less, a world-building and character-building exercise: two vital skills for playing roleplaying games. If you don't have any pics to post, you could try posting an idea for a setting or a character, and maybe someone will be willing to write a story using it. It's also an exercise in writing though, where writefags can try out their material and gain inspiration, so if you just want to talk about world-building you may want to head over to the dedicated world-building threads.
Remember that writefags love to have feedback on their work. Writing takes a long time, especially stories that go over several posts, and it can be really depressing when no one even seems to read it (and the writer won't know you read it unless you leave a comment).
And since writing takes a long time remember to keep the thread bumped. Pics are good, feedback is better.
There is a discord for writers:

Don't forget to check out past stories on our wiki page:
http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread
You enter a torch-lit tavern. The glow of the flames cast long shadows across the faces of the patrons, however the bard’s music and raucous laughter illuminate the place plenty. You seek lodgings for the night but first join the revelry to ease your aching bones from days on the road. You purchase a drink and sit at a table where people look to a weathered man. With attention on him, he begins to speak:
Horrible, strange, and wondrous things fill our world. Vile beasts, strange mists, and the people who struggle to survive. I have heard many stories, but tales of Lusitania the Grounder seem to find my ears no matter where I travel. Now I have only recently learned how she obtained that title, but I know of a Lusitania that matches your stories of a black haired and sullen eyed warrior. A distant kingdom marks her for death, claiming she murdered Duke Holiander. Although from what I know his death was caused by the return of Alveredo. You see, Alveredo was buried in the village he called home many years ago. Some years after his funeral, that’s when the trouble starts.
As it goes, the town of Holiander took up the name for the duke Holiander that saved the town from bandits and famine. Without requiring they swear fealty, the duke had provided a garrison led by the old warrior Alex Raf. For months the station had been quiet one where Raf could sleep late into the day. However that all ended the morning a young farmer girl slams on his door in those early hours where the sun has yet to rise.
I imagine the old man hobbling to the door, his stride improving by the time he arrives and opens it.
“Please, sir, we need you at Willian’s,” says the child.
The soldier rubs his red eyes. “Unless someone is dead, my men will sort it out.”
“It’s a wizard, sir. He commands the dead to move.”
At the mention of wizard, all exhaustion instantly leaves Raf. As with all of us he has heard of wizards and the despair they bring.
“What do you mean ‘moving dead’?” As he asks Raf has the girl help him don chainmail.
“The bones of men, sir, along with a stitched man tall as a house.”
Dry dock edition.
Talk about botes, bote based wargaming and RPGs, and maybe even a certain bote based vidya that tickles our autism in just the right way.

Previous >>54762703
From the previous thread's discussion about why on Earth the RN was using the submarine monitor HMS M1 as a patrol boat somewhere in the Black Sea immediately after the war.
>>54921724
>>Why do you think they were hiding it? From who? Why?
Read up on Lloyd George, Haig, and the Admiralty. (To forestall the pedantic spergs, yes, Haig was Army. I included him to emphasize that the military and it's leaders were no longer sacred cows in the eye of Parliament.)
When when M1 was finally launched in mid-1917, events like Jutland the year before, the submarine campaign being currently lost, the Somme the year before, and Ypres being currently fought meant the KNIVES WERE OUT in Parliament for any flag rank service member they could get their hands on.
Here was the RN on one hand screaming about a lack of destroyers and other escorts meant any convoying system couldn't be set up while on the other hand wasting time, labor, and yard space laying down FOUR submarines based on an idea already known not only unworkable but false.
And you still wonder why the Admiralty sent the only one of those subs finished during the war off the Med immediately after commissioning?
Out of sight, out of mind. Having HMS M1 putzing around in home waters increased the chance some MP would remember it and use it's very existence as an excuse to demand a purge.

Are they a splinter of a legion or a corrupted chapter?

Can't they just be a bunch of legionnaires that found themselves united in purpose?

That's a possibility on the table.
>>55042858
can they have IG followers? CHAOS IG are more interesting then space marines.

What should I read if I want to now more about the lives of chapter/legion serfs in Warhammer 40k?
Just read the Night Lords Omnibus and I loved how it gave me a good insight about the serfs serving the legion.
>>55041957
I've been writing a story about a person saved from a destroyed Hive that becomes a Chapter serf and views the Astartes through a human's perspective.
>>55041957
Nothing I know of really. I've wanted to write something short about hostile boarding action where the serfs give a serious whooping to a superior enemy though sheer grit and loyalty to the chapter.
>>55042182
>views the Astartes through a human's perspective
Serfs are members of the chapter cult in most chapters.
>>55042215
Exactly. She interacts with other serfs, many of them having been born on the ships they serve on.
Does a paladin lose his powers while he's mind controlled by an evil entity?
Nope. It's not the brain the matters, but the spirit. So yes, an evil entity could use the paladin's abilities for malicious ends. No, the paladin absolutely wouldn't fall if it happened to them.
>>55041630
Depends on the edition.
>>55041763
>No, the paladin absolutely wouldn't fall if it happened to them.
They would lose access to their powers until they repented in Basic, 2e and 3e, anon.
There is specifically lines addressing it.
>>55041763
I'm not really talking about falling, I just mean like would the divine powers temporarily disappear until the paladin is in control again? Why would a lawful good god lend its powers to the evil entity?
Anyone still play this? Is it worth 200$ to get a complete one?
>>55041330
Probably not, it's legendary , it's good but it's only worth 200 shekels if you are nostalgic. Take your money and buy dnd temple if elementary evil boardgame.
>>55041330
Dungeon Siege is it's adult version and way cheaper.
>>55041330
Silver Tower would be a better investment unless you played it back in the day and want to relive it.
Like>>55041724 said. It's value is in nostalgia.
