Looking to play some tg with friends online via TTS.

Does anybody know of dice that broadcast the rolled results in chat?

Bonus points if it can also do math and sum things up.

Both for convenience and to prevent cheating.

Preferably for more than d6.

What's the best style Maj jong to play?

Japanese? American? Chinese? Taiwanese?

They all have such strange rules. What can win in one can't win in another

What tales of storage and sorting do you have for me /tg/?

I've recently beaten the game Pyre and it got me thinking about tabletop sports games. But not just talking about something like Bloodbowl, where it's just about beating your opponent. I'm talking about table top games that are still focused on roleplaying and adventure, but the main form of narrative advancement is through a sport of some kind, and not just combat or politics or whatever.

Are there any tabletop games that do that?
If not, how would you try to make such a game or campaign work for table top?
Would it be best just to make it a standard adventure campaign, only the fights are sport and people come back after you defeat them, or is that too little to get the atmosphere of a team traveling and competing with other teams?

So I will keep this fairly short, with the arrival of 8th ed I want to get back into 40k and I used to run a Sisters army way back in the day with my (ironically) sister. I still have the sister minis but they need some allies to punch them up a bit (back in the day we used a few Imp Guard troops that are now long gone) so when I saw the "Talons of the emperor" I was thinking that was perfect but some reading up on them seems to reveal massive issues from the Custodes and the SoS being unusable in tourneys, having fucked point costs, and even having no fluff reasons to exist. So with this new info is the talons set even worth the cost and I mean should I just pick a better ally like the Grey knights or Imp guard again?

He is a cool fella overal but kinda slow on things, not dumb just slow. He is THAT GUY DM, probablly the worst DM around and everyone pretty much starts in his campaigns as he has a lot of time on his hands. Alltho he is THAT GUY DM he puts a lot of effort into it and it is his favourite thing to do, so alltho we judge him we respect the commitment and the fact he introduced us to the hobby. What I am asking of you is to make all kinds of THAT GUY DM memes using his picture, we are planning to gift him a deck of cads made out of /tg/ memes, as he loves shit /tg/ made like that Mad Wizard Dungeon I did not manage to deliver (don't stone me).

If you had to pick a system to run a Gunnerkrigg Court Campaign in, which one would you pick? Any ideas on how you'd run it?

Hey, fa/tg/guy asking for character advice here. I'm trying to make a space captain/smuggler who isn't a Han Solo knockoff. I've never played a sci fi campaign before and I don't really know where to start.

So I had this guy, Rapter Green. He was a High Elf wizard who thinks that aliens/lovecraft horrors exist and are after him. Anyway, I built him a character sheet for D&D 5e and I then accidentally deleted it.
If somebody recreate him, that would be awesome.
