Rolled 89 (1d100)

S-S-SIR YES SIR I'M SORRY SIR I'LL DO BETTER SIR

>>53210267
LOOKS LIKE WE GOT A BIT AHEAD OF OURSELVES! THE FIRST CAST WAS A D10! But we'll make use of you yet, Private Shitbed! Lets see what the charts say!

Emperor preserve us, you putrid bags of Ork piss are Convicts the lot! Emperor-damned criminals, given one last chance to die with a bit of dignity and honor as you scream and shit yourself like the ninnies you are!

Right, but back to the first bit! (1d10 I fucked up)

> Snacks
Everyone chips in 5 to 7 bucks a week and we make a big dinner which is usually eaten halfway thru the session (ours last about 6 hours of gametime, 1 hour for food

>Some of my players use digital character sheets or spell books or take notes on their cell phones

All of this is a huge fucking no at our table. No electronics, ever, for any reason

>>53206036
>I don't want to describe every person or possible ambush point, but if I don't mention it I'm a shitty Dm / Do mention a lot players will waste time and I'm a shitty Dm.
If something is drawn like in your OP, mention that thing and two or three other things.

>How do you make sure that my game moves at an interesting and reasonable pace, while maintaining a immersive level of detail?
Try to add at least one descriptor into every statement you make. Example:
>DM: You're in the main hall of the ancient temple. Suddenly a shape lunges from the darkness (player failed their roll to see it before it attacked) behind one of the huge carved pillars!
>Player: I throw my sword at it! (player rolls)
>DM: The sword sails through the air, missing the mysterious shape (player rolled badly) and colliding with one of the beautiful female visages carved into the temple, bouncing off hard enough to take a chip out of her cheek (sword tip is bent).

>Snacks
Depends on the group. I used to play with a group where the host/GM would always feed us leftovers of his wife's terrible cooking, but sometimes the awesome This Girl would bring over amazing foreign dishes that she somehow knew how to make that worked well as finger food.

>phones and shit
Hell no. Fuck the memers on /tg/, phones stay off unless you're an EMT or your wife's nine months pregnant. The DM can have a computer if he needs it for books or atmospheric music or whatever, but players don't need anything but their sheets and dice. We survived playing all night with nothing but a single landline phone on the wall, kids today can survive it too.

Describe a few of the previous rooms in the same level of detail but they don't do anything. Bluff them and throw them off the scent.

The fuck is your point

>sees the philosophy at a base for what it is, simplistic drivel that works fine in simple hero tales and breaks apart in any kind of mildly morally ambiguous situation

Define in your words what exactly the "core philosophy" of the Star Wars universe (or at the least, the force) is.

>>53205502
My point is why so many people hate Kotor2 for the examples above.

A thread died for this.

>>53190058
It was a general that had already been remade, so nothing of value was lost.

>>53189959

Nerds really will buy anything remotely related to their interests.

>>53184993
They're the least Chaos worshipping of the traitor legions and are really more just renegades.

>>53184993
They are all literal violent sociopaths, and are basically a legion of super powered serial killers.

>>53184993
It's the fact that you DON'T see them until it's too late that makes them scary.

>tfw your players will never be into history enough to let you run a complex and enjoyable Carmen Sandiego campaign using Gumshoe

It's a similar kind of feel.

On the bright side, I get to use my knowledge of Carmen Sandiego to embarrass 40K fags, particularly Chaosfags.

How easy is it to find people who would want to play Phoenix Command?

>Monkey was sullen on the trip back
>I was pretty sure I knew why, too.
>There were children in that village.
>We only found three in the aftermath.
>With nothing else to do with them, we gave the children over to the nearest monestary, once we had checked them for taint.
>He had protested at even going that far.
>Seeing an innocent caught up in something so ugly, through no fault of their own, had shaken him.
>Though I had thought the brutal reality of war with the Shadowlands had hardened me to such things, I found I didn't much like it either.
>Naomi's gentle influence, no doubt.
>Sake wasn't a good choice here.
>Drinking when you want to forget is sometimes a bad idea. You remember when you wake up. So you drink more.
>Until you disgrace yourself.
>Or the Scorpion comes to your house
>So I needed to get his mind off it first.
>Monkey.
>He ignroed me and continued to brood.
>So I kicked him
>He spun around, nostrils flared, and shouted
>WHAT!
>How's your kid doing?
>Hu- what?
>Your kid? Tokichiro, wasn't it?
>Yeah... he's fine.
>Fine? That's it?
>He can count to 6 now. Always forgets 7 and 8...
>He's about the same age as Tetsute, yeah?
>yeah...
>Look, it's already fall. I'm sure Naomi will send everyone home for winter.
>you'll have some time with him soon.
>What about Toshiro, don't we work for both of them?
>Toshiro spoke up.
>Well, I have to look at my own ugly face every day to put on my face paint, so seeing YOUR ugly face the rest of the day is kind of wearing on me...
>So unless something just falls into our laps soon, I'd say you're going to have some time off.
>I grinned, then nudged Monkey in the ribs.
>Hey, maybe you should try for a daughter next?
>He blushed
>We made it back to my place without incident
>Naomi had recoverd more, and was moving around without the cane.
>She still needed to grab an afternoon nap though.
>Tsuyosa, as well, was doing better. He was getting just a touch of color to him and putting on weight.

>>53150670
>Expect Shoji to rear his ugly head again

on the one hand, like everybody else, i hate that guy

on the other hand, it implies more of Crab at Court shenanigans, which were some of the most entertaining parts of the last encounter with Shoji

shouldn't take too long for me to reach my own end, will try to make haste so that I won't have to set up new threads myself

>>53150682
>Between her fatigue and his determination gorge himself in order to get to a healthy weight things got awkard on occasion.
>By that I mean I often had to sit behind Naomi and hold Tsuyosa for her.
>Once she drifted off to sleep mid feeding.
>Naomi was terribly embarrassed by that when she woke up, despite my assurances it was no big deal.
>With Naomi still needing time to rest and nothing terribly pressing we did indeed split up early for the winter, everyone heading to their homes.
>Shino puttered about here and there, overseeing the servants.
>He spoke to me a few times about how things were going
>But after he saw how quickly my eyes glazed over once he got to actual numbers he simplified it down to a "Things are going well"
>Toshiro made sure there was enough medicine and medicinal incense before heading back to his own home in the wastes.
>Got to check on the flow of the Kami. The land isn't going to fix itself.
>The Kuni wastes had lain fallow for centuries. I wondered if the land would truly be able to recover from the drastic measures taken to purge that taint from it.
>In mid-autumn I recived a visit from Kojiro-Sensei
>I was a bit surpised. I didn't think I would be ready so soon.
>But Sensei took me out back and we fought, and he declared I was.
>I was loathe to leave my family in their current state.
>But Naomi shooed me away, insisting I do as Sensei wished
>And so I learned the last technique taught to the Defenders of the Wall.
>THe last technique began with the kata of the Indomitable Warrior.
>It expanded quickly from there.
>Kojiro-sensei told me what I was learning was related to the final technique of the Hida ryu, The Mountain does not Fall.
>Did you know, Ishigaki-san? Stories of your battles with the bloodspeaker cult are spreading throughout the Clan,
>Maho causes great pain, it debilitates with ease. With this technique you will be ready to cast off those effects.
>I do not want you to die on me now, Ishigaki-san.

Getting Started

Next, back on the site, click on "Overview". That's your 'home' screen, where you'll be able to see your teams. Right now you'll have no teams, so make one by clicking "Create a Team". Choose the "Ranked" division, because that's where 99% of all players are (later on if we decide to do a /tg/-league, we'll use the "League" division). Next you can choose a race and team name. For starting races, Humans, Orcs, or Dark Elves are good, but since we're all noobs anyway, just choose the race you think is coolest, and click "Create". You'll be taken back to the Overview screen.

Now you have a team, but no players. To start adding players, click on the name of your newly created team. I'm not going to explain what players you should buy, so go to FUMBBL: Race Strategy for that. Clicking on the "Starting Rosters" link for your team provides you with a list of effective starting teams. Just choose one of them.

Now, buy some Re-Rolls as instructed by the Starting Roster you chose. Finally, click "Submit for approval" and "Yes, my team complies" to finish your team and get ready for playing. When you're done, post here or better yet join DISCORD so I can teach you how to actually play.

A Tzeench fireball just took out 4 snotlings. (you need to sign up to fumbbl for the link to work.)

My team gone shit, I'm wondering why I play bb at all
Agi 4 can’t even pick up the ball, and I can't dodge at all
And even if I could it'll all be shit, but your status on discord
It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad
[x2]
Dear Crab, I @ mentioned you, but you still ain't callin'
I left my steam, my fumbbl and my facebook at the bottom
I sent two PM’s in autumn
You must not've got 'em
There probably was a problem at the discord or somethin'
Sometimes I scribble messages, too sloppy when I jot 'em
But anyways, fuck it, what's been up, man?
How are your teams?
My teams are getting farmed too, I'm 'bout to become a vet
If I have a star player, guess what I'ma call it?
I'ma name it Tanktop
I heard about you getting rekt by Gobs too, I'm sad
I got outskilled by stunties too and I got mad
I know you probably hear this every day
But I'm your biggest fan
I even watched the old games that you played with Tobi
I got a a folder full of your OC and bantz, man
I like how you bullied Ayy too, that shit was bossy
Anyways, I hope you get this, man, hit me back
Just to chat, truly yours, your best man, this is Ukrim-chan

First for Tau invade Baal

3rd for Tau save Baal

can you give us a couple of examples of what you mean by random events? are we talking about massive, world-changing events/quests like encountering some baron's soldiers breaking into a cursed tomb, turning into super-zombies and releasing a curse around the world, or minor throwaway encounters like seeing a particularly fat merchant on the road who sells pink crossbows?

Sure!

Just minor stuff.

On a 24, they come across a small caravan of traders that are willing to trade with players, but if they agree to help guard the caravan, they will trade with them at discounts.

On a 57, they discover a small city, but it is in ruins and is unexplored.(Which the players have been warned that there can be nothing here, or could be inhabited by people/creatures that aren't friendly)

Although, a random event like the zombies could also be a thing though, just not world shattering events. Just things that are important to the region.

>>53224756
Go back there.

>>53222207
I don't. It's never happened. And if a player decided that was necessary, somebody, ranging from that player to the DM to other players was a massive That Guy.

>>53222246
Why is suicide a That Guy move?

With laughter.
It usually means that the GM did a great job.

smug

>>53220901
Good

They would seek out prominent positions in finance, academia, entertainment and the arts.

Has anyone on /tg/ even played 2e?

>>53220659
It's weird I always see OSR and 3.x but rarely any 2e discussion outside of insubstantial shitposting.

I was raised on that shit.
