Use a Visa Gift Card, so that way you won't lose any card info.

I am also interested in the answer to this.

>>55374975

I have used them before. I was very satisfied with my order. Sometimes you just need a few pieces for conversions and you don't want to buy full boxes.

Drop an asteroid and force the colonial empires to move their capitals to their colonies to survive

>>55374291
an earlier attempt at independence is trialled but soon after India is attacked now that is no longer part of the empire, Russia long had designs on it.

Have the colonial government be less of a shithead or have way more effective soldiers.

I like Black Plague more but it's because I like fantasy more than modern settings. And the ranged weapons rules are better.

>>55375418
Me too. Didn't get into Green Horde by the way, it is too hard to find people to play with.

>>55375418
BP's ranged is infinitely better but it's basically just an errata to the dumb Zombicide original system, so easy to carry over.

I also want to do something with pic related. I'm thinking they have a relationship with the animals that live in the caves (i.e. maybe they eat salamanders and cave beatles?)

I really want something to do with glow worms aside from just having glow worms there. Glow worm silk is for catching bugs, so i'd imagine it's not really like the silk you'd use to make silk clothing, and using them as a light source would just be impractical, especially since coal would probably be an abundant resource to these people.

Also, it doesnt have to be exactly pic related. it can obviously be some fantasy/monster equivalent

>>55372613
not a factor of resource here but what if they think that the stars are glow worms too and the whole world is in a giant cave? and maybe they have coal-eating beatles that can self-ignite and they believe the sun is just a giant coal-beatle crawling across the ceiling/firmament?

if you lived in a cave, what pets would be useful?

>The party comes in about here

Seems like the adventure is mostly about this innkeeper's story, and not there's. And, while super rabies are fun, his motivations are pretty convoluted.

Pretty cool.

During the adventure put in stuff that connects to the innkeeper's backstory. Maybe the innkeeper wrote to the bard and they can figure this out. They can then visit the bard and get some details.

Same thing with meeting the sorceress.

>>55372274

Yeah his motivation is a little lame but the players won't give too much a fuck about that. So long as it doesn't keep coming up or be central then it's all cool.

Not enough Imperial Creed brainwashing, needs transformation of heart.

>>55371809
Well, at least that explains why they all look alike.

DON'T
thin your paints

Escalation die is not good in 4e imo, the math isn't really built to handle it

Backgrounds instead of skills can work. A hybrid system where you have both backgrounds AND skills is stupid.

The partial leveling is fine, probably need to codify it more.

>>55369190
There's not really any abuse to be had with incremental level ups. At best, you have folks taking particularly potent powers, feats or features early on. But it doesn't really break the game any more than it would at those levels to begin with.

Backgrounds work fine for skills, but what are you going to do for the features and feats that all give skill bonuses?

Escalation Die would require item bonus being halved from magical weapons and implements for a proper balance of math across all levels. Plus, just providing the attack increase is boring. What made it interesting in 13th Age was how it connected with certain features and powers. I'd pass on using it unless you want to give everyone something else to do with the Escalation Die besides hit more as the fight goes on.

>>55369441

Ya that's one of my worries with the background system too.

The real reason he wants to use the escalation die is to speed up combat. We did 13th age for a bit. And i agree that all the mechanics built for the Escalation die is what made it worth it. otherwise you just making AC a weaker stat.

I advise looking up the total price of each set and either going by that OR by the amount of pricey cards per set. For instance, Kaladesh is an expensive set because of Chandra and Torrential Gearhulk, but you have a better chance of pulling a card worth at least SOMETHING with an Amonket booster.

Innistrad and Eldritch Moon are about to rotate soon. I'd go for Kaladesh(Fastlands are good) or I'd go for Hour of Devastation.

>>55366896
Yeah, ok

>>55366896
>....

The setting is ok, it blends magic and sci-fi pretty well and is generally open enough to for a variety of playstyles. Learning to play is a chore though. I can't vouch for earlier editions but absolutely do not use 5th, it tries to include every possible rule from previous editions and is essentially 3 systems attempting to function as one. Editing and formatting of the book is equally terrible making the already Herculean task of reading the core book even more irritating. I would recommend Shadowrun Anarchy because it does a great job of trimming the rules fat but it could be a bit difficult to read since it's written assuming you know how to play original shadowrun. Thankfully other cyberpunk systems are popping up in the event you don't like SR.

It's cool but it's not for everyone. The rules, pretty much no matter the edition, can be fairly complex, and the sheer amount of gear/character options can be overwhelming, especially when you start adding in splat books on top of the core rules.

I personally think it's super rewarding though, and consistently it's been one of the games I've had the most fun playing.

He has to wait until his dad wakes up from his nap, so he's in the courtyard, stepping on ants to pass the time.

If you still don't get it, he's a reverse version of the Makuta from Bionicle, and technically, by the standards of the Mythos THE FIRST ORGANISM TO LIE.

If you take into account that he- is the one to propagate the whole 'Cult system' which is dedicated to all of his subsequent brethren, it paints his actions in a potentially negative and contradictory light, because if you take the idea that of all of his kind, and all whom amongst them are well known for their Brutal uncaring honesty, this- this one of such rank and significance in the cosmic scale is the first to lie, you get into the idea that this think is literally the primordial Jew, evolved for sophistry within it's own kind.

The only one who ever acted out of line was Hastur. Now look what happens when you say his name.

The only other GOO with Nyar's qualities is the Frogbat-fatass and Mr Elephant Vampire.
