Nevermind guys it's downloading now.
Sorry for wasting your time.
Black crusade discussion I guess.
How was your first time playing?

>stracked the cultist
should be "tracked the cultists"

I haven't played Tyranny of The Dragons yet, but hey, maybe play up that part? If these guys are going to help out Tiamat's dastardly bastardly schemes, you might as well see how far they will go in said schemes. Show them so more in case examples of what their evil is doing. If they like it, great. If not, who knows what they'll do next.

You'll have to add a lot to the campaign if they're the bad guys otherwise the tension isn't there and it'll get boring with everything going according to plan, since the players will know the cultists's plans, resources and locations.

Play up the factional infighting both within the Cult of the Dragon and between the various bad guys alliances (devils, dragons, evil giants, etc.).

Add tensions between draconoids and humans within the cult. Maybe even have someone like Galvan the BLue assassinate them cause they're shining too brightly in Tiamat's eyes.

Have one of the high-ranking cultists secretly be a good guy, maybe a Harper infiltrator, helping the good alliance.

Have some sort of monumental fuckup that bad guys are prone too and the players have to clean it up before the good guys can exploit the opening.

I dunno, never heard of it before.

I think so, now never tell your players and take all the glory

>>53997544
Read all the books and tell them you made it all up yourself.

Glorantha falls under the 'inspired by the bronze age' category, they even have their own version of the Sea People

There's still a thread up.

>>53997086
Why in the Names Of All Dead Gods would you want to utterly ruin a perfectly good game by trying to rewrite it? T&T is just fine the way it is, there's absolutely no reason to ruin it by trying to make it like 5e.

>>53997108
To clarify, I've been running a 5e campaign for a while, and I want to change system. So rather than make T&T into 5e, I want to take an established campaign and make it different by possiblt exporting it to another system. I want to get away from 5e if anything

>>53997201
Oh, well, in that case.....it doesn't work. Askign for help in the OSR thread is your only hope.

>>53996606
You're on the wrong board. You want >>>/vr/

no its not that old lol

>>53996706
I'm just playing with you, man. I just wanted to bump your thread.

murderhobo has to incite team into considering the quest and whether or not anyone present has bear lore or equivalent, because bear lore is somewhat useful when you're going bear hunting.
>GM checks for literally bear lore.
>farmer has bear lore. Asks GM to read the rules out because he can't be bothered to open the book himself.
>I pass on the GM's description of my knowledge to the party instantly.
>fuck you, attempt some roleplaying or no bear lore for you..
>hark, I yee most esteemed of the farmer kin of post-apocalyptic NZ do so bestow upon my loyal murderhobo companion the knowledge of how to murder bears. So it was, so it is written, and thus at the green dragon inn we shall gather, the fellowship of the V8.
>fuuuuuuuu okay, sure.
>party tech monkey asks how is bear trap formed.
>murderhobo uses crafting skills and roleplaying to force his hand to remember that he's a super skilled technician who can make everything short of cyborg implants.
>oh right, good. Let's just go to my shop and sit around for the whole prep and craft bear traps.
>farmer with bear lore decides to spend the pre-quest time tending to his crops, in character.
>murderhobo is not allowed to enhance bear traps for better killing potential.
>use stealth to steal bear traps and jury rig them to send a billion volts of electricity into anyone who steps on them, for more effective looting of bear asses.
>party tech, in character, has no comment on the fact that 4 of 10 traps went missing for an unspecified number of hours.
>suddenly farmer says this all sounds too fucking dangerous, and we'd need at least a Gandalf tier NPC to fight these super deadly bears in a one-off session he requested be played because the regularly scheduled game got canceled.
>deflating.
>partyface has shit all to say.
>murderhobo is not allowed to override farmer's decision.
>he starts whining out of character.
>partyface asks other characters to join in.
>uhm uhm uhm

>farmer player whining harder.
>he doesn't realize the GM would adjust the adventure, that he requested, to fit whatever crazy turnip and farming fetishes he has, if he just asked.
>farmer quits, because 'it's late.'
>murderhobo and partyface tech monkey left in the going.
>more than enough firepower and abilities to get through the adventure.
>uhm uhm uhm.
>literally about to blow my top at all the bullshit going on.
>tell him out of character we can totally do this, just me and him and the GM, and it'll be fun. We can explore the character dynamic, and shit.
>but last time I fought wild animals, they almost killed me, man.
>it ain't happening.
>mfw all of this.

Somewhere out there is a magical wonderland where people give half a fuck about the role in roleplaying, but whenever I think I've found it, I sober up and realize it was all a dream.

dnd story time?

>30-40 foot wingspans
Well there go 'buildings'

your advanced questions are highly variable.

architecture: Floating or tall structures.

politics: the same as the rest of that world I guess.

trade: thriving due to the speed and lack of terrain issues.

war: aerial.

Very open cities, very expansive. Can build up and down but probably still prefer to build out.

Probs prefer building on mountains, canyons, and hard-to reach places because good luck reaching them.

Politics is whatever, pick something or mash shit together.

Same with trade and buildings. maybe a focus on tools and machines to build stuff. Not a lot of heavy things.

War waging is probably out of the question. They'd hire mercenaries or just be incredibly troll with their combat. Since their homes will be fuck-hard to get to not much for them to fight about. Probably war engines or traps and other awful things to make attacking their home an even bigger pain in the ass.

>If 40k was converted into Fantasy
It would be called Age of Sigmar

>>53995942
Age of Sigmar is nothing like 40k.

>>53995758
Space travel is important aspect in 40K, you can't convert it into fantasy if you dont make something like that too.

you would have to make world full of islands, probably UK size at most and sea travel really difficult and long.

Played a game last night.
Yes: took the entire firepower of a marine/guard army (including one leman russ battle tank and two vindicators) to bring down one of my 20-warrior blobs, meanwhile the rest of the army was dealing the damage. They are very promising.

Marines + cover = scary tough.

>>53994966
In real life anyone with a gun, decent aim, and cover is pretty terrifying though.

>>53994932
20 of my Warriors defeated Eldar Guardians, Dire Avengers, a Vyper, and technically Nightspear without support. Reanimation Protocols won't let you down.
