How would you build a setting/magic system off of kaballah/general Jewish mysticism?
I'm working on a way of spell casting based off of gematria where magic only works according to a combination of mathematical and symbolic logic.

I'm looking into this. What does it have to do with magic, it seems to mostly be a theological principle about acheiving oneness with God?

>>54420298

Honestly, I wouldn't. It never works out. The most I would do is re-fluff.

Simply put, game systems are designed to fit the needs of games and real life systems aren't. Trying to mix the two is never really going to work.

Hey /tg/, can you help me with an adventure? My players are soon going to be helping escort a noble person across the country over a large period of time in a fantasy medieval setting. What are some fun encounters I can put along the way? They'll be going through plains, woods, a forest, and over/around a mountain range.

So far I've got "bandits attack", but I don't want it to just be a string of combat encounters.

If it matters, the group will be the NPC noble and his personal servant, a PC noble, a PC who is the noble's bodyguard, a pirate-type (without a ship), and then a priest of light.

I just got this as a birthday gift and now I just realized that I have no real life friends to play pen and paper roleplay games. Are there places online where you can play such games? I know about roll20, but perhaps some fa/tg/uys know about some other places that may or may not be better than roll20. What do you suggest?

60% of adventurers should come from the motivations and interactions of the players in the setting, the other 40% are adventures dictated by the metaplot of the rise and fall of King Arthur's court or handed down by their liege.

Well, there you have it. Now if you say "no" to a player, you are a shit DM. Looks like players getting to do what they want on a nat20 will be part and parcel of DYing from now on.

I'm in a bit of a problem here.

As you can see, I am currently making a new Marine roll table, with modern images, and the proper Legion + successors orders (with the chapters without a known parent chapter at the end).
However, several chapters end up having very few successors, like the SW, Salamanders first and foremost, even the IH don't have enough widely known chapters to go up to 10.


Can you guys help me and post the successors that you know of those chapters? As for SW, I'm more looking for chapters that have Wolves/Dogs/Hounds, that sort of name, to be "ruff"-ly similar.
Same thing for Salamanders if we can't find enough. Flame, Dragon, that kind of names could go with them, as long as we don't know where the chapter comes from.


Thanks in advance!

So friend of mine's 12 y/o son is asking for me to teach him the ways of D&D. Got me a Redbox, but any of you elegen/t g/entemen got any sage words of advice for the wee shaver you want me passing along?

Or advice for me?

The Chosen One. Our Kwisatz Haderach. The Legendary Super Gamer.

Train him well, Muten Anon, for the future of tabletop and all of Earth rests in his hands!

For real though, run him some redbox, keep the ethos of 'Yes, but...' in mind, take him as far as you can on DnD. Then introduce him to some other system as his interest wanes, to keep him hooked. Cross-train him early, so he knows there's no One True System.

Not OP, but what would be a good non-dnd game to introduce younglings to? I'm partial to Dark Heresy and Exalted myself, but they hardly seem like they would be appropriate or appealing to children.

So what if you crossed the Elder Scrolls with the Chtorr? I'm thinking of a seeing where Mehrunes Dagon (god of chaos and change) creates the Chtorr, and throws seeds around the world of Nim. How would the world of Nim react to this infestation? Would they be able to form an alliance against the greater threat. Would the Nervarene be able to come back and save the world?

Big cons are overwhelming at first. Make a plan in advance for what you want to do, but don't schedule yourself solid. Give yourself some time to just wander around and talk to people/see stuff.

You can't remember everything. If you see a booth or demo that looks cool, but don't have time to check it out, take a photo with your phone, preferably with a company name or web address in the shot so you can look it up on the internet later.
Follow the 3,2,1 rule. Every 24 hours should include:
3 hours of sleep (minimum)
2 meals
1 shower

Use hand sanitizer and good hygiene to prevent catching Con crud.

Don't be that guy.

Have fun!

Almost finished with the crunch of my clan creation project.

But regardless, if you don't want to work on the creative stuff you are still totally free to talk about ratmen regardless.

So I've been playing D&D 5e with this group for a while now. Campaign is homebrewed beyond belief, but it's all fun. Call me casual, but I enjoy that challenge is pretty lean and far between and more focus is put on roleplaying, not roll-playing. Until last session. We return to the inn we've been staying in, take care of something outside, and are introduced to a new villain. This villain is a warlock. He introducea himself by blasting 3 party members with Eldritch Blast at 600 feet. No introductory words, no lead up, just ans ambush by a Warlock that's twice my character's level, and 3 levels higher than the strongest character, who wasn't even attending that session. We eventually get over and I grapple the guy, and break his arm. The DM the asks me if a 17 passes my AC. So I say, yeah, why? He replies: "You've been stabbed by the Warlock's Dagger. He asks you if you've seen hell, and then casts Hurl Through Hell." At this point I've kinda blown my top and act like a total shitmunching cunt I'll admit, but really, is it fair that we're fighting a minmaxer based warlock that defies reason and stabs people while being pinned to the ground?

Fuck's sake format your post next time. There's no rush so take a minute before hitting post.

Also; this doesn't seem like good DM behaviour but by your own admission you're a cunt.
So you reap what you sow, I guess.
>>
>>54416695
Grappling doesn't stop enemies from attacking. You have nothing to complain about there.
Level disparity between players is dumb, difficulty balancing encounters like this being one such reason.
Fighting a monster built like a PC should've been an easy fight for you, assuming you could get past the sniping. Your DM doesn't seem to understand monster design.

Everyone involved seems to be a shithead, yourself included.

5e is shit.
>>
>>54416695
What the fuck is Hurl Through Hell?
Without knowing what that spell does, it looks like the biggest problem is the warlock attacking and casting in the same turn, which is definitely a dick move by your GM

It's "X killed by Y" and "X is vulnerable to Y" you fucking illiterates.
Figure out how to into passive voice or keep it active.
