How could we expect anything less from a washed-up reality tv host who melts down into a tantrum whenever someone proves him wrong.

This is a dude who praised the chinese government for committing the Tianenmen square massacre against non-violent student protestors. Any kind of dictator feels threatened by independent knowledgable people like scientists and teachers.

Make a discord server, it's pretty much the same thing

That seems like it would get cluttered real fast.

>>54128647
make more channels whenever you feel cluttered

60% of the time, maintenance

so be sure yo have the ghost pop in while your characters are still settling into the routine of doing what the boss tells you to do
then the boss docks your pay for talking about ghosts in the engine room instead of working

you also cant use guns, because you would create holes in the hull

It's nothing like a pen and paper RPG, at all. No game can ever really match pen and paper on a tabletop, but Neverwinter isn't even close by video game standards.

>>54127439
Unless you'er just itching to RP, including improvisational sort of sort of stuff with people within the game, not really. It's an MMO first and foremost, it just happens to have a D&D license and be set in the Forgotten Realms.

I understand it has some sort of player mission designer, so you could probably write up some smaller adventures for yourself and others and RP within that framework, but that'd require more time than just playing a game through Roll20 so that's a nonstarter.

>>54127678
Well, that just raises an intriguing question.

Which game, if any, even gets close to it?

>>54126843
>What are your favorite things about it?
You can go and punch things in it.
>What would you change?
I would strive to bring us all towards a future where more things are being punched.
>What is unlife like for a ghost?
Due to complaints of discrimination they too are punched.
>Are there beautiful places down there?
There is beauty in all things punched.
>Can you find Elysium amidst the Inferno?
I'll let you know when I can confirm it is punchable.

I remember finding this on 1d4chan and having a chuckle. I even toyed with a home brew class around it that would work like a paladin but with all holy abilities replaced with buffs from items given to him by various monster girls. Give me a minute and I post the random item table I came up with.

>>54127339
Sorry if this is a bit of a rough read. I wrote this around 2 years ago I haven't done any editing on it sense.
1. Slime Girl, Sticky Gantlet: When unequipped appears as a modest arm band. When equipped it forms a protective goop glove around the user’s hand that can stick to things really good, giving them bonuses to holding on to things regardless of strength. Also really moist all the time and can snuff out small fires like touches with ease. Damage resistance as Iron gantlet.
2. Satyr Girl, Tune Mask: While equipped the user can hum a simple tune, anyone effected will be compelled to hum along. Great for getting bandits to reveal their positon or for throwing a monkey wrench into basic spells that work off of spoken words.
3. Mermaid Girl, Speedo of Not Drowning: You’re a Knight so you probably going to wear heavy armor. Mermaids live in water and don’t want you to drown because they think you’re a really sweet guy. The Speedo of Not Drowning lets you treat your bulky plate mail as leather armor when making swim checks. It DOES NOT give you water breathing.
4. Harpy Girl, Harpy Feather: Once per day you can refuse to take any fall damage on a given fall.
5. Minotaur Girl, Horned Helm: +5 to intimidate. You can chose to gore people when you head butt them (the reason you might not to do the extra damage is because head butting is the Minotaur equivalent of a hand shake.) Protects as iron helm.

Why would you make something so cancerous?

I think that execution is more important than premise, certainly for nearly all the examples here. I'll agree that 100% purefags are a pretty bad premise, but might work as a foil for other PCs.

I think it's important not to get too much tunnel vision here. I'd say there's more to a hero than what motivates them to do good. You've got 'was coerced into being good' as Mid-tier, but if that character also had (for example) an engaging, nuanced revenge plotline and was tied to the setting by NPCs who matter to them (family, mentor, spouse, etc), that could be a more interesting character than the Paladin type from your High-tier.

It's based on an existing chart for villains.

>>54124994
Yes, that's correct.

>>54124994
Fifth edition is a good system (yes, D&D, good) and easy to get games for.

It's easily the best current D&D.

I make no statement regarding any comparison between current fifth edition and any prior states of any edition of D&D before third.

It depends whether you think playing a shit game is better than playing no game at all.

I turned into an Immovable Rod and had our rogue cram me down the throat of a sleeping Giant.

It went well.

>>54125195
There's a lot of reasons that shouldn't work

>>54125257
Not him but I once had a relatively low level party go up against a smallish dragon and shoved immovable rods into his wounds and activated the to stop him from flying away.

I thought it was creative.

Maybe the nemesis Merc knows his nemesis PC is in town, and having done some investigation of his own, knows the other PCs are associated with him. The merc decides to try to find out what they know and then kill them, using minions without showing up in person.

But wait, why the fuck isn't that first PC there anyway? What's this party splitting all for?

>>54124854
No, he doesn't know about him being in town, he doesn't care, he barely consider him as a "nemesis" is more like a one sided thing.

>But wait, why the fuck isn't that first PC there anyway? What's this party splitting all for?
They were in the same "apartment zone" all party was finally able to gather, and the PC just said "I started drinking and got drunk in the meantime" (That's okeish, because he is alcoholic as a character flaw, but it was like 1 pm).
>They had an appointment with the guy who got them the job to talk about the future reward
>one of the guys told him "We need to talk all together about the job" he just said "leave me alone, I'll be there for the appointment".
>Afterwards another PC just decided let's just conjure one of his worst fears in the room so he will come out!
>He comes out
>A brawl was about to start, but they just decided to say fuck it
>they tried to convince him one last time, but without knowing the thing about his nemesis they just didn't come up with it (otherwise he would've rushed like a madman I guess), and the drunk just decided to stay there doing nothing and then investigatin' about the other PCs past.

>>54125011

I'd say that if the drunk PC's player is willing to go this far to bum around doing nothing then just have the meet scene play out with the other PCs as realistically as you can.
