When Was The Chapter Founded? (d100)
>Magic Standard Showdown event.
>Playing against a girl
>She casts Anticipate
>Selects the one card and puts the rest on the bottom of her library and passes turn
>I go through my turn and declare entering combat stage
>She says, "oh wait I changed my mind"
>Takes cards from the bottom of her deck and puts them INTO her hand.
>I tell her she can't do that and someone tells me to call a judge so I do
>As the judge is walking over she concedes the game and doesn't want the judge to explain anything to her.
>I apologize for that situation happening and she actually refuses my apology
Was I an asshole here? I'm autistic but try to be on my best behavior in public. To me she just altered her deck without a card allowing her to do so, took steps out of tern, and also added cards from her deck to her hand with no triggered ability, which to me is flat out cheating. Granted, she is new, but I felt like she came off as a major cunt for refusing my apology for the situation.
>>54747597
Was I an asshole here?

>>54747597
She was wrong. Sounds like a bitch
>>54747597
She is a cunt
It's a fucking tournament not a friendly. Having a vagina doesn't get you brownie points.
There are no good tabletop game adapt-
Can you name any others?And, for the most part, the best parts of Record of Lodoos War have very little to do with the actual replays, and are more about the work on the DM's part building the setting and backstory, and the characters which were a large departure from how they actually were in the replays.
>>54747625
Lina Inverse, Slayers
>>54747638
Wasn't that first a light novel series?
So how does this card work in real life?
Can I just take my time and go through his deck very carefully and slowly memorizing everything he has in game 1, and then bringing in 4 of these in game 2 and just exile everything?
>>54747388
Sure, provided you memorized fast enough to avoid getting dinged for slow play.
Or rather, you could try it, but you would lose because it's a shit strategy.
>>54747388
You're allowed to write down the names of cards while you're searching. No tedious memorization necessary. Shit, I'd just start writing shit down and figure out what to exile later.
>>54750377
writing down the entire decklist is going to cause problems unless you can do it extremely quickly
What are some godly portfolios you don't often see in your settings, but feel should be more common?
I personally noticed that fertility gods and goddesses are fairly rare.
>>54747316
What are you talking about? Gods of the Harvest, community, the sun, etc, are all very common, and their domains most prominently feature the bounty of fields and the growth of the community.
>>54747336
The idiot just wanted to post the picture, and decided to go a round-a-bout way of trying to pretend he wanted to talk about fertility goddesses.
How the fuck isn't this obvious? Are you a newfag and haven't learned to recognize that this guy does this all the time?
>>54747316
They are less common because nerds don't want to think about the implications of fertility. They probably are also afraid of the idea that a woman can be chubby and still attractive if she's signifying health and fertility rather than a constant diet of junk food and chronic illness.
I may soon get the chance to take a break from my Forever GM status and participate in a game using this system. Thing is, I'm not sure I want to.
There is something to be said about the obvious cues it takes from the d20 system, but the main issue I can see is that it's weirdly schizophrenic. Attributes are poorly defined, the meaning of their values is not defined at all, yet Banes and Boons are oddly specific and distributed without rhyme nor reason, accounting for neither thematic appropriateness nor relative mechanical usefulness of each attribute.
Am I overlooking some redeeming qualities or is the system as bad as it looks to me?
>>54747284
Do you have the PDF? Never heard of this.
>>54747284
Its vagueness is part of its charm. You can basically do whatever you want it.

Now put two and two together.
>Cousin's boyfriend invites me to a DnD group in progress
>Roll a Chaotic Neutral Drow Arcane Trickster Rogue with ranks in preform so she can disguise herself as a Geisha styled bard.
>Negotiate with the Gm so I can be secretly working for an organization that might possibly be the BBEGs, to spy on the party.
>The GM thinks this is a great idea, as do any other players who are paying close enough attention, but respectfully maintaining IC/OOC divide and not breaking the 4th wall.
>I am now playing a fetishy character with a gimmick build, who's also a monster race, chaotic nongood alignment, and dickass thief actively working against the party.
>and I'm doing this as a new player who is only known OOCly by one member of the group.
>Everyone has fun, Me, the players, the GM.
>I'm invited back next week.
>This story actually happened.
Why is /tg/ always wrong about everything?
>>54747240
>rock restoration regime

The Bangles were not the peak of rock'n'roll, OP. Faggot/10
>>54747240
>Why is /tg/ always wrong about everything?
Because it's 95% autists screeching about their experiences with other autists.
>>54747313
I just posted it because I liked the idea of a rockstar Geisha, and it was one of the inspirations for my character. The other being Noodle from Gorillaz.
>>54747325
Well, I did the opposite of just about everything /tg/ ever told me to do, and everybody had fun.
>there are six criteria that animals must meet for domestication
>First, domestic animals cannot be picky eaters
>Second, only animals that reach maturity quickly relative to the human life span are worth considering.
>Third, domesticated species must be willing to breed in captivity
>Fourth, domesticated animals must be docile by nature.
>Fifth, domestic animals cannot have a strong tendency to panic and flee when startled.
>Lastly, with the exception of the cat, all the major domesticated animals conform to a social hierarchy dominated by strong leadership.
(https://www.livescience.com/33870-domesticated-animals-criteria.html)
>Humans are omnivores
>Humans have a lifespan that's about seven times shorter than that of elves (by D&D standards), a gap comparable to that between humans and dogs
>Human slaves have historically bred in captivity
>Humans can be bargained with through verbal communication
>Humans can and do train themselves to remain stationary and even advance in the face of danger and death
>Monarchism is the most ubiquitous form of governance in human history
Does this mean that elves are able to domesticate humans? What would a setting where all humans have been domesticated by elves look like? Would elves breed their human companions for certain traits? If so, what traits? Would there be radically different hunting humans, police humans and blind guide humans?
>>54746718
We even have our own term for domesticating humans, it's called "assimilation" and "integration."
>>54746718
The intelligence gap between humans and elves might not be enough

tl;dr - What goes into being a sleeper agent?
I've been playing Tom Clancy's The Division the past couple days, which is pretty fun. You play as an activated domestic agent of the eponymous Division, a clandestine agency of the US federal government, brought in as the last line of defense against total anarchy in extreme circumstances - in the game's case, an act of high-profile bioterrorism in the heart of New York City. Your character is a regular citizen in the area, but when they are activated by Directive 51, they are forced to drop everything and forego their previous life to serve as an Agent, working to restore peace and order by whatever means necessary. There's no brainwashing or mental switch involved, just a federal agent made to answer the call when their watch starts glowing.
Oftentimes, the concept of sleeper agents are brought up as something the bad guys use: an evil organization with embedded agents all set to strike at an opportune time without warning and cause havoc. It's also used when public figures are suddenly made to change doctrine and actions at the drop of a hat (e.g. Order 66 in Star Wars). It's not often something you see employed by the so-called good guys, nor is it always used to see bad guys suddenly turn good or vice versa. Plus, there's almost always an air of conspiracy that abounds whenever the concept is brought up.
Have you ever played as a sleeper agent or ran a game that used them as a significant plot point? How are they embedded, and what activates them? What are they used for? Is it just tantamount to a superhero ripping off his disguise?
>>54746234
I've been trying to put together a game about super soldiers.
Its built more about gathering information and such rather than fighting. the players often start in places where they dont know who they are or who anyone else is, so there isnt a "party" off the bat.
Mostly the players are escaping out of underground military bases and trying to find out the greater plot by finding the other pc's
>fighting clones is a good way to get pvp combat in without killing off characters
idk exactly what kind of game you're intending but mine is an espionage game foremost.
>>54746234
It's just an extra layer of characterisation. Whatever would make that character a person of X profession is still there. A Sleeper Agent wouldn't go undercover as an Accountant at a firm if they weren't good at Accounting etc. You can have them be bad guys or good guys, but it's typical for a 'Sleeper Agent' to be a bad guy, and if a good guy does it they're 'undercover' or 'in deep cover'. Not sure why, guess Sleeper Agent sounds worse. They're typically involved for purposes of Espionage or Sabotage, spying and shit. You might have a good guy go undercover and join a Terrorist movement, and report their movements back to his superiors once a month. Or you might have Terrorists infiltrate a city and wage guerrilla warfare to bring down the city from the inside. The latter has broader scope and might be more fun to play.
I tried to run a game with Sleeper Agents in Dark Heresy, but two sessions in the players all threw their cards on the table because "we can't work together if we're keeping secrets. One of us is the traitor and it's not me".Torture doesn't give you the right answers, just the answers you want to hear
How do sleeper agents not suck at doing fighty stuff and spy stuff if they've been out of practice for many years?

She can reanimate a Master of Cruelties when she attacks to insta-kill an oponent
>Blood for the blood god
Since Khorne want bloodbaths, does this mean he doesn't enjoy fighting the Necrons?
>>54744736
None of the chaos gods enjoy fighting Necrons.
>>54744769
This.
No one likes Necrons. They are unloved and alone for eternity.
>>54744736
Nah, since his follower's blood works just as well as anyone else's
In our new game the DM is using a free form system that lets us pick our own class abilities.
What are some abilities that play way better than they sound? I'm already looking at abilities that activate on a kill, or that add extra value to my other actions. (like extra physical defense when just moving)
What's the most deceptively powerful rule you've ever seen in tabletop?

True or false?
It's OSR so it must be shit.
True. Don't waste your money on osr crap.
