No.
There, that was easy.
>>52720413
>Any new tech from this ridiculously low power set filled with parasitic mechanics for your decks?
Does powering up a whole new deck (Haptra) count?
As Foretold seems fun. I want to test out Approach of the Second Sun too, since it's a one-card wincon that rewards you for doing what you should have been doing already (Ramping and drawing extra cards)
>>52720413
>Any new tech from this ridiculously low power set filled with parasitic mechanics for your decks?
I'm building Hapatra, so there's a few things from this set I'll need. This is the worst set since Born of the Gods imo, and even that set still had more interesting gods than Amonkhet.

Just a group of college guys. All relatively introverted, but smart, friendly, and socially competent.
>Do they bring snacks
One guy brings snacks every time, but it's veggies and kinda sucks

They all met through me. I'd meet them in class and chat with them, eventually inviting them to my group if they seemed like they would fit in well.
>Who's the most attractive
I am
>Who's the funniest
No one is really funny, though one acts weird which but that's more laughing at him than with him.
>Who's the nerdiest
The aforementioned individual; he's a weab and goes on and on about anime when everyone else in the group is rather indifferent to anime.

My games are going fantastically. I've tailored the rules to my guys and we're getting a lot of the sessions.

thread Q: Is there a maximum level and why is it level 18?
>>52718924
>Is there a maximum level and why is it level 18?
I -wish- my games went anywhere even remotely far enough to anything that could apply as a maximum level.
What does /osrg/ about Matt Colville?
>>52718924
I run 5th and 6th level as a cap, kind of like an Epic6 game. Mostly for simplicity / flavor.
I halves XP requirements (need 1k to 2nd level, 2k to 3rd, etc).
All classes use the same XP table.None of that matters during play.No PC reached the cap yet.
The soft cap is 14, which gives slower leveling classes time to hit level 10 if you plan on retiring your party all together.
There is no hard cap, but that's more for the NPCs sake than it is for the players.
so what are some movies that are /tg/ approved ?
>>52711693
Bladerunner, Hellraiser, the Dark Crystal, Mad Max(es), Alien, Aliens, Predator, Heat, Bad Lieutenant
Any of the classic zombie flicks - Evil Dead 1-3, Day of the Dead, Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, etc.
Excalibur, Yor -- The Hunter From The Future, Rambo - First Blood, Blade, any of the Monty Python movies.

Why do people go to Stannis instead of Daenerys?
Daenerys is clearly more compassionate and understanding of her subjects than Stannis. Her liberation of the slaves is pretty admirable, and unlike Stannis, she can make compromises with people. It's quite impressive that she was able to take three prominent cities in Slaver's Bay despite being a foreign teenager And has a notion of right and wrong.
Stannis and his extreme stubbornness is a huge misgiving, as it makes ruling a feudalistic kingdom that much harder. His refusal to ally himself with either Renly or Robb Stark was borderline retarded, and his cold withdrawn personality makes it much harder to gain allies. It's clear that he lacks the political pragmatism that leaders such like Daenerys possessed in order to rule the realm effectively.
Wouldn't it be better to go for her
hur medieval realism WOMEN LEADERS BAD hurrrffff
>>52710528
>female leaders
>good
>any time, any scenario
>>52710514
But won't compromise ultimately just perpetuate the same system of fundamental inequality in the long term?
I think a crazy guy that ultimately ruins society might be good for the people in the long run.
Lo and behold, you have become a king! of what? who cares! you are a king of something and with the crown comes magnificently power

I could kill Double King with the very crown he so desires, he is a formidable opponent though so if it comes down to it I'll just create some sort of skintight armor around me and make sure the crown always stays on my head since this universe seems to remove your powers if the crown goes. Pretty good power for this instance honestly

Oh he's TOTALLY going to get what's coming to him. As is everyone else in the universe. That's how things work now. Also, based post, Double King is fucking amazing.
What's the best superhero system?
Mutants and Masterminds or Valor are both good
>>52709660
Weaverdice for character creation.
M&M for actually playing the game.
>>52709660
Mutants and Masterminds is OGL garbage
Marvel Heroic is quality, but lacks a procedural character creation system, but there are MANY homebrews online, some of which are quite good.
MASK: The New Generation, works quite well for the very narrow focus for which it was designed (teenage superheroes trying to live up to their namesakes.)
Aberrant is good for nostalgia's sake, but kind of a mechanical clusterfuck
Wild Talents is good until people learn true optimization, then it's basically just OGL garbage by another name
Marvel FASERIP is actually pretty great considering the era it's from, and is a decent balance of "can work" and nostalgia.
D6 Supers, which got a DC Universe addaptation is pretty good, but suffers from a WIDE spread of optimization potential.
Of all these MHR is what I'd recommend the MOST. Unfortunately it is still unfinished, and never will be finished, thus relying on fan material to be complete, which turns many people off. It's a shame that there isn't a superhero game out there that's both good and complete.

What's the weirdest job you've ever gotten, anon? Stealing a baby juggernaut for a house pet? Trying to make a background count by thinking mean thoughts to protect a magic-phobic client? Digging holes in Poland for some nutjob who thinks dwarves used to live underground? Jacking the latest gold-plated DNI cables from Renraku?
Crazy troll mage hired us to kill friday the 13th (the date) so he wouldn't suffer from his Bad Luck quality while performing an extended ritual.
We said yes, thinking we could bullshit him. We mostly lived to regret it, metaphysics hurts like a bitch.
>>52708402
you should have found somebody named friday the 13th and killed them.
I mean, assuming you do wet work.
>>52708494
of course, you probably would have had a terrible run of luck killing that person. They would have constant near fatal accidents and never die.

>>52705755
What?
>>52706080
Electranon. One of the resident deviants.
/tg/, I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but I just want to vent.
We're playing D&D, and my character (a Ranger) has had a subplot where he was romancing a female Paladin he knew from a long time ago. The idea is that she lived in the same village as him, and she happened to be the group's liasion in the Border Marches area the campaign takes in. It's a detail from my PC's backstory, and the GM worked it in after discussion at charagen.
The thing is, in the most recent session, things went a bit wrong.
My PC is trying to charm this girl, and she's semi-reciprocating, but she didn't only show interest in my PC. She also flirted with the party's Sorcerer quite a bit, and waved off my PC's concerns as 'No, there's nothing between us, it's just silly'.
So this session, she tells my PC that her family has arranged for her to meet her fiancee. As it turns out, with her rank in the Order, they're nobility now and they want her to marry advantageously. My PC asks if she minds, and she says she doesn't, really. She's sure they'll pick someone she'd like. Then he asks about 'us', and she says that it can't possibly happen, now. She has responsibilities.
Obviously, I'm a bit upset about it at this point, but we go along to the meeting anyway. It turns out her fiancee-to-be is a knightly Fighter, of noble blood, and basically quite powerful himself. They hit it off really well, and there's actual chemistry between them.
At this point, my PC is obviously upset. But that guy is landed nobility, and he's clearly no slouch himself.
OOC, I ask the GM where this is going, and he says "Well, she's probably going to marry her fiancee eventually". When I ask him about the subplot, he says "I brought in the NPC, but the plot develops as the campaign does. Nothing's set in stone." He doesn't say anything about a 'way out'.
>>52702845
I don't know why this upsets me, but it does. Am I being too sensitive, here? It feels like the DM set up the whole thing to make me feel small and 'brush me off'.
Like, wasn't this one supposed to be my PC's subplot? It was an important aspect of my character, and he's just sort of being sidelined in his own story. It really, really irks me.
Does anyone else feel that this is unfair? Even earlier, my PC's love interest sort of had a wandering eye already!
>>52702864
>>52702845
This is what an entitlement complex looks like, OP.
>>52702845
Ohh, look at little missy here without enough shield to cover her cheaping out on upper leg armor.
Cute, but dumb. You can definitely justify just not having much or any armor there, but not with a pissy shield like that. Definitely not if you fight on your own.
It's acceptable if you are going all Hoplon or Macedonian Phalanx style, but then you have a lot of "BROTHERS/SISTERS IN ARMS PROTECTING YOU!" or a fuckload of pike.
Another one of these, because I get a laugh out of them.

And I suppose I support it.
Why is cyberpunk as a genre used less often than space opera?
>>52701562
Because by its very nature it is massively more limited in what can be done with it.
Most people can't run it without it being a poor adaptation of blade runner or ghost in the shell .
>>52701562
Because it sucks.

>Destruction Edition
Glad to see Alteration is being mentioned, the vastly encompassing school that it is.
I'm trying to build my next RPG setting that I might run later on, and I've decided I want the main theme to be modern mercenaries. But not a strict adherence to realism - I want to present everything as more akin to an action movie or some video games. I've decided I want North Korea to be the primary threat of the campaign, and to build them up as a serious threat to the entire world.
So I need help writing up some background on how this comes to be. I guess the first step is that NK would have to get some kind of extreme and sudden financial windfall that even they couldn't possibly fuck up - maybe they find some huge oil or precious mineral deposits in their own territory. From there I'm thinking they'd use that money to beef up their military in terms of recruited personnel actively serving and quality of their equipment (they'd buy and copy designs from Russia and China). They'd also find a way to perfect an ICBM capable of being launched and detonating anywhere on Earth, and stockpile those.
Then they'd expand their influence. I suppose they could start making deals with tinpot governments all over the world, like certain African countries, to buy land with more resources on it, and they start sending troops over to protect that land, and start coming up with excuses to send those troops into neighboring areas that also look attractive to seize for further resources. Any protests from the world are met with threats of nuclear retaliation.
And I guess this would just keep going on until the PC's are hired to interfere with this whole process, since recognized world governments couldn't use their own militaries under threats of being nuked.
Any other ideas?
>>52691225
Yeah, pick a different country. The idea of North Korea not just getting invaded by the US/Japan/Worst Korea because of said windfall, or being puppeted by China is laughably bad.
>>52691414
So they get the nukes prior to the windfall. Check.
Fuck, wish I wasn't on mobile. I have a lot of input.
