My game is set after the retirement of Fafhrd and the Grey Mouser to Rime Isle, both are in their early 60's.

They'd be ill-advised to fuck with Ningauble of the Seven Eyes tho.

The only NPC at level 20 in my game are individuals who've managed to live at least two human lifetimes; it's the player's story not the NPC's.

>>52999927
>And if yes, would you make them very overpowered? Like level 20 if DnD?
it's been pointed out before that LotR is actually a pretty low-level setting by D&D terms

if you go off of feats alone, Aragorn's probably only level 5, along with Legolas and Gimli.

that said trying to use D&D to represent LotR characters is probably a bad idea to begin with

First of all, discover who has the most control over the flying snake and the lizardfolk. Probably need to lick this guy's ass and protect him until the moment is right to fuck him over. Snake and lizards seem to be the biggest threat to me getting rich off the raid. Try to plant the idea in their handler that they don't really need valuables. They can take the cows, pigs and stuff to eat. We'll be sending them as second wave.

Cultists are going to be the actual first wave. They're easy to dispatch for the defenders, so more loot for us. What we need to do is look like we're on the first line, create a single break through defender lines, then goad the cultists into slaughter. The villages we raid probably won't have many defenses, but after the end of the month the cultists should be spent and in no way to oppose our mercenaries. If the cultists are repelled, send the lizards to finish the defenders off.
We just need to look like we're doing all the hard work, but gradually move to the back as we send cultists and lizards forward. If things start to go bad, we get the fuck out with what we got.
As for the split of loot between mercenaries, split depending on number of men in each mercenary band. The split amount goes to the captain of each band, who is responsible for splitting it further to his men. It's only fair and there's no reason to try to fuck them over and risk animosity or violence.

Optionally, try to goad the cultists into attacking minor town even if reinforcement defenders are sent. But this time lizards and snake go first, cultists second and we disappear as soon as possible, hopefully after kiling the cult leader. It's likely both the beasts and the cultist fucks will be dealt with by the defenders.
Final option is to turn against the cultists after raids are done. If everything goes according to plan, they should have a lot of casualties. If the cult leader is dead, snake and lizards may just fuck off. They were getting food and shit, so should be content. We dispatch the cultists, take their stuff and get the fuck out to somewhere else.

I did it with GURPS. Low-powered characters, strong monsters. The only things you lack is a stress system and light system, but you can easily do your own (or ask for mine, I don't mind to give them). It worked pretty well.

that mean the price will most lilely increase 15-20% for yuropoor and britbong.
They try to make substantially more money despite The GBP loosing value

Where have you found that? I'm looking in the online store and I don't seem to be able to find it

Or is it only a Britain thing?

>games workshop trying to devalue good boy points

>>52997959

No, mainly because it feels hazardous to play something without a opinion.

Trying to conform to everyone's myriad standpoints in reallife has given me enough of a taste of that thanks.

>>52997959
I only play true neutral characters, but only as a starting point for that character so they can develop into another alignment depending on where the game takes them.

To get in character I stayed home and didn't attend a session, my neutrality was so neutral that it had no impact at all.

Nick here, threadly reminder to ALWAYS get BLACKED

Its called "git guud" philosophy.
You either git guud, or git dead

Montage.

He's thrust into do or die situations, since he survived and gained experience points required to level up, he clearly didn't die, meaning he did do.

>>52996398
All I know is that it was a joke even way back when, I don't know why anyone would still care about it after so long.

>>52996398
Third edition was a vast improvement over the second one. Bringing in the Power Modifier Values from Silver Age Sentinels really helped give more flexible options to Attributes. I honestly don't know why anyone would want to go back to limiting themselves with 2nd Edition when 3rd is so much better.
Still needed a bit of errata and some house rules to iron out the kinks though.

>>52996398
>>52996836

I liked 3rd. I think the game in general had the same problems any overly genericized system does; you end up with a lot of stuff that doesn't fit whatever you're trying to do.

I loved Centauri Knights as a setting; that was my main experience with it.

Reminder feats and multiclass were mistakes and should be banned

Have you done anything interesting in your last sessions, /5eg/?

>playing with group for a few months

>pretty unorthodox team but it really adds to the fun
>the new guy came in and made an arcane trickster
>half our team is true neutral with a few lawful neutrals on the side as most of the team didn't care about alignments, paladin is of course lawful good and the warlock was neutral evil but very calm and never displayed his character in town or when with the party.
>new guy is chaotic neutral, this usually wouldn't mean anything at my table but trust me it's important
>party is currently in downtime as they are going to be sent to another country by the crown to conduct a mission, but before I send the new guy into the deep end of session long RP, we pause the downtime session and the party takes up an errand to rid a hamlet of a land shark issue
>characters introduce themselves to the new guy
>paladin steps up and talks about his duty to his god
>new guy starts going full "sceptical mcbigbrainium" and starts calling the paladin an idiot for believing in the gods
>explain to him that it would be hard for his character to completely disbelieve in the gods seeing as holy magic is the most celebrated form of magic and paladins are pretty much the super heroes of the era
>yeah my character still doesn't believe it
do you want your character to be someone angry at the gods or something and denies them
>NO my character doesn't believe in the gods, anyone could use magic and say it's from god
>HMM that’s not bad we can compromise and make this work
>okay how about your character thinks it's all fake and believes in a religious conspiracy?

>Shin Megami Tensei 1

I have little to no experience with this game. From what I've gathered it's about friendship demons and the obvious superiority of chaos? Or am I confusing it with something else.

Open cursed doors.

>>52994523
it is cursed to be able to lock any mechanism, but not unlock them

>>52994523

What he said, and your DM is right.
Even if you get to play that bad idea to it's conclusion, said conclusion would be death by spider.
