if they are stupid enough to enter combat with a foe they have no chance of defeating, let them die to it.

or barely escape with their lives. wounded. crippled.

if there is a cliff too high for them to jump off, and they insist on jumping off it, do you modify gravity for them?

If 4/7 are knocked into the negatives, then that's probably a good time for the beholder to flee.

>>53404200
Have you tried just straight-up telling them: "hey, this isn't a video game. The Beholder is way too strong for you. I'm not gonna stop you, but this is like a squad of bicycle cops trying to fight an aircraft carrier. Your characters realize that this is a very bad idea."

And don't have an NPC say that or something, just tell it to their faces before the start of the session, or they won't take the warning seriously.

First for first forgeworld rules today.

What will it be, tg?

Old shoulders and heads fit on the primaries marines. I doubt they'll make new upgrade kits for a while.

What is going to happen with the DE Lore (and by extension Eldar as well?) after this whole Gathering Shitstorm?

Commorragh is pretty much fucked. Ulthwe and Biel-Tan are pretty much fucked. All relevant characters with Slaanesh2.0

Is there any hope for the Eldar, both DE and CE now? Or is the hope for the Eldar all with the Ynnari?

The best way to make an insane character is to make them not seem insane at first, just eccentric. They have to believe that what they're doing is not an act of insanity, but something that they do after reaching a (il)logical conclusion that that is what they should do. It's also important for the character to have a goal in mind, something that they believe in or are working towards, something that all their actions can be linked back towards in some obscure way.

depends on what you mean by mentally unhinged, in some cases you would classify a schizophrenic as mentally unhinged, and a very ironic and interesting thing is they can come off and act VERY structured, appear suave and proper, but the things they do can be the unhinged part. killing for a failed job, absorbing their power to make use of waste... etc... if that makes sense
But GO CHAOS!!!

>>53402023
I think that's a pretty reasonable approach to characters in general. I try to make sure my NPCs have a clear goal- even if only clear to me, the DM that sees everything and has all the information, because understanding a character's priorities is just as important than understanding their personality when it comes to RPing them.

Most of the time, I want some of that to shine through to my players when they interact with the NPC. It might not be immediately laid bare to the PCs, but eventually the players should learn more about an NPC that's sticking around in the campaign and be able to understand the justification behind their actions.

But insanity often means there's a disconnect between a character's justifications for their actions and their actual actions. That's not the only way to portray insanity, of course, but for the sort of character that just has some screws loose you'd expect that they might be doing things that don't logically follow from their motivations, expecting those things to help them towards their goal even if they're obviously wrong in expecting so.

Monstergirls' bordello.

In fact, forget the theme park.

>>53400490

Not necessarily, tough. Can't you see areas like
>Catch a Dryad
>Milk the Minotauress (if you can)
>Top Snek Secs
>Fluffy Tail Fair
>Magical Realm Quest [at your own risk]

?

I mean, 18+, but still a bigass park.

Bump for interest

single urban settings can work quite well.

>>53399982
Most superhero games take place in a single city.

Other than that, I actually prefer to do games that take place in smallish areas unless they're specifically about exploration. It makes it easier to have a recurring cast of NPCs if they don't have to follow the players around. It also means that locations can more easily be the site of more than one significant scene which gives them more character and lets the players see the world changing due to their actions.

Every time a new spell is cast or a new weapon is swung
And def for crits I'll ask how it looks we do combat every three or four sessions so it's rare enough

I'll usually give a more gratuitous description if it's in keeping and the last enemy in the fight, yeah.

Immortality Elixer, Empty Hand, The Heedful. What other good choice is there?

>>53397861

No? It has some of the best, assuming you're not using shitty cropped images to give a misleading impression.

>>53397861
If you only have one hour a week to prepare for a game, it's a pretty damn good idea to run an adventure module.

>>53397861

Seems pretty reasonable if you don't have time to plan a session.

>I end up face to face with her

Me: "You want to go to sleep"
>Dullahan is currently fucked up on enough tranqs to put down the entire circus, and has been jumping around opening portals to hell and back that have left her exhausted.
>This all adds up to a minus 4 on her save, but she in turn gets like a +12 from a bunch of other BS (Why?)
>She still fails
>More BS, she has an ability for a re-roll
>Still fails, but only by a hair.
DM: Alright, so she'll sleep, but only if you promise her something right now
Me: What is it?
>5 minutes of him not fucking telling me as we argue about me signing a blank contract
>It breaks down to if she goes to sleep I agree to fuck her later
This is some high-level bullshit going on at this point.
My party finally has decided to weigh in on this. They both roll d100's to see if their characters care.
Turned out both of them did care, I had money I was willing to pay to not get laid.

>Nothing
>A solid 10 minutes of nothing
Me: Continue the game DM, I know you're taking this time to plan how to dick me. I've played fair by the rules, I'm not getting dicked tonight.
DM: So, the 2 party members arrive, and the god that was possessing the cleric appears and says, "You may watch but not interfere"
>I kick the DM from the discord call
>He pitches a bitch fit, claims I'm being an ass, and that the whole side thing has no effect on the story so I should just let myself get dicked.
>He's still pitching that bitch fit.

Why do I put up with it?

I have one that I shared a while back.

>We piss of the DM by killing one of his edgelord furry npcs.
>When we get back from saving this town for free the DM has my fellow players arrested for some stupid shit.
>Druid steals some shoes off a drunk.
>Priest doesn't specifically state that he put on clothes before going outside.
>Arrested for public nudity.
>I see what is happening and mind my ps & qs.
>The next day the druid and preist are subjected to 'The Hang'
>Essentially the stockades but backwards.
>DM describes the villagers torturing the PC's asses with fruits and Vegetables for about 45 minutes while I just sit there.

copyright violation

>>53396481
I imagine that the historical reproduction is trademarked by the British museum.
Whoever did this would have had to produce an original board since the game mechanics can't be copyrighted in and of themselves.

>>53397056
Pretty sure you can't copyright antiques or reproductions of antiques. If anything they could copyright their interpretation of the rules since the rules are complete conjecture based on nothing more than finding the original board.

I actually have this problem myself, never really gotten over it.

I have a solid concept of how I want to play the character, but trying to evoke it publically is uncomfortable as fuck. I'm always worried I'm going to overdo it and just get mocked relentlessly.

Though, I've only ever had kinda shitty roleplay groups, so, that never helps.

>>53395664
They need to stop caring. Just let it go, don't worry if you sound like an idiot the first few times. It happens to everyone.

>>53395664
>>53395797
I've found that perhaps the most intuitive way to get into character is to build your character by asking yourself very basic questions such as

>what are my characters strengths?
>what are my characters weaknesses?
>what are my characters motives?
>what are my characters aspirations?
>what does my character look like?
>what does my character like?
>what does my character fear?
>what does my character hate?
>where does my character come from?
>where is my character going to be in X years?

Also look for personality traits you can sympathize with. Borrow or steal character ideas from TV shows, movies or comic books and use them as a base for your character.
