I have a vampire: dark ages session tonight. It's set in Rome and has so far been quite enjoyable.
>>
>>55198934
I've had about five hour session, where a lot of things happened, but at the same time nothing did. DM is clearly rushing the game to the part that he wants us to play, so we briefly visited a lot of places and barely lingered in each, because he kept pushing us forward and forward.
It really spoiled my fun, because he clearly viewed the whole session as "Shit I have to get out of the way before the fun begins", and it showed.

Last time on Song of Swords:

Historical Longswords
Obscure WWII calibers
Elves
Song of Swords is a a tabletop RPG centered around realistic medieval fightan' with a ludicrous variety of weapons and fighting styles, centered around a dice pool system. It's currently in beta, and can be used for both fantasy and historical games. The Kickstarter was nearly 300% funded, and we're on the fast track to kicking ass baby.
Call of the Void: Ballad of the Laser Whales is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Its combat system is more modern, based in the early 20th century, but can probably handle combat up to the present day.
MEGA folder containing current version of the game and all supplementary materials.
Note that the latest version of the game is v1.9.9 but with additional supplements.

Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details:

There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
If you're looking to learn, post here in the thread.
We also play Guy Windsor's card game Audatia in the room, but now we have a much better way to play Audatia: Tabletop Simulator! The (official!) mod for Audatia is now up and running!

Well normally I have primed all my mini's black up to this point, but I decided to man up, and try a different tact. I went for a lighter grey primer. These models are resin as well, as I have only painted plastic before, I"m sort of jumping into the deep end.. Hope they come out well.
For resin, do the same basic painting rules apply? water mixture, layering and brush placement etc?

Not going to a pre-release for this set but I'm hyped as hell for the launch.
Did you use any of the basic rulers or did you get one in the packs?
>>
>>55194564
I did. I used the Mermaid basic ruler with the filtering ability. The prelease kit came with all five of the basic rulers, so most people used them. I think that the only exception I saw was a guy who pulled Letoliel AND Frayla, who just ran Frayla through the whole event. Rain was of course handy, and the filtering was essential as I was running darkness to help with control.

>How wide a net are you casting here? You counting vidya?
Yup. Pretty much every IP. I just want to know if it's really as common as people say.
I know a lot of people who groan or complain every time a human takes an interest in an elf during gaming sessions. I want to know if it's actually that common or if these people are just touchy.

How do you make a good female villain?
I freely admit that most of my npcs and ALL villains are male, mostly because I cant do a female voice, and I think it is about time I branch out.

After 7 years of the 40k rpgs, World of Darkness, Edge of the Empire, and some FATE my group is finally trying D&D for the first time with 5e and after about 4 sessions I have to say I'm somewhat perplexed at the system's popularity.
Compared to most of the systems we've played, D&D doesn't feel anywhere as intuitive in its rules or its breakdown of skills and attributes. It IS fun once it gets going, but we've had to stop things and recheck the rulebook a much larger a number of times than we have had to with any other system, and the concept of using D&D for anything besides specifically dungeon crawling seems like it would end terribly. Honestly D&D's mechanics remind me more of a boardgame's rules (designed to do a specific thing in a fun way and dropping sense if need be) rather than a rpg (more simulationist and theoretically applicable to a number of different types of campaigns). Am I missing something about the system?

8/10.

>>55191246
I don't like systems with character levels, especially when they're tied to acquiring specific abilities. It encourages a mindset of seeing character progress in purely mechanical terms, and most of the murderhobo exp-chasing is down to this.
The DnD system is alright for gameplay outside of dungeon-crawls. It's mostly rules-lite in those areas, particularly social encounters, and that's what I prefer anyway. I don't like 'social combat' systems like in Traveller 5, I much prefer straight RP + a simple system to use when NPCs are being asked to do something they might not want to do. 5e is fine for this, with the rolls being simple and the DM able to set the DC for the skill check to what they think makes sense.
>Honestly D&D's mechanics remind me more of a boardgame's rules
I certainly feel that way about the magic system, rest mechanic, and some of the arbitrary powers in the backgrounds section. All feel very articifial and 'top-down', meaning, as you say, not really using a simulationist mindset.
Overall though I think rather than preventing simulationist/narrative gameplay, 5e just leaves it more down to DM approach. That isn't inherently bad, but does require a DM who a) can communicate well enough to talk to the players about what type of game they'll be playing beforehand, and b) is not an asshole or idiot.
>>
Strong agree. DnD has all the complexity of GURPS with zero flexibility.
That being said, assuming a group where everyone already knows the system (common since it's ubiquitous with tabletop) it makes for a pretty fun dungeon crawl combat game, since most of the mechanics were designed from a gamist perspective of what's fun.
IMO DnD at its best is a boardgame with light RP elements.
