What's the party composition?

How long have they been adventuring?

What was their last accomplishments?

Why are they wanting my forbidden magical items?

Are any of them female?

I'd assume I've been scrying on any adventuring groups in the region to make sure I don't get jumped by surprise adventurers during my morning routine.

Pick up an actual book on tarot and start reading it. Each card has a meaning, and you won't have a better starting point than that.

In terms of actually giving you ideas, perhaps the direction of the cards could affect them. Cards can have an upright or upside-down definition that changes the context. So, each card has a 50/50 chance of being a good or bad version of the core concept it is supposed to represent.

>>52319381
basing it actually on the tarot is a thought but 44 effects seems like doubling the problem. And I'm trying to avoid things like 'a magic item disappears'. If it has things like the magic item gifting I'd rather do it as 'a magic sword shimmers into your hands' but THEN the demon that sword belonged to is now angry and looking for it...

Not necessarily that as a replacement for the Key effect though, since the card that makes you an enemy Devil is already a pretty good plot hook on its own.

maybe I'll try to find more info on tarot as a starting point.

Old story I have told several times but my old DM once had us run a Card Captor Sakura styled game where each of he cards in the DoMT gained sentience and took on a form that would fit for said card (balance was a platinum coin standing on its edge). We had to hunt down the cards and try to undo the damage they had done.

>How does your playgroup interact socially when playing and not playing games?
In a facebook chat group about playing childrens card games.

>online doesn't count as social interaction
Then I don't have any other social interaction than playing childrens cards games.

>How does your playgroup interact socially when playing and not playing games?

it's just me and another friend, we barely hang out if it's not magic related.

i wish there were more mtg players here

>What is not Gold, but the closest thing to Gold?

Players never did get the answer.

>>52315719
Yellow? Silver? The King?

I did a simple math problem in the form of dividing a pile of gems into two piles of equal value. Around the room were clues to the "value" of the gems in the form of "The Pearl is twice as valuable as the Onyx" and similar statements. The party's wizard and rogue argue for close to forty-five minutes on the gold piece values of the gems.

Meanwhile the barbarian and paladin, arguably the meatheads of the group, realize the nature of the puzzle, tell the smarties to sod off, and solve the puzzle opening the treasure vault.

Shit was funny as fuck.

>One of the kind of scenarios they like the most is using a fanmade book called "Schoolgirl 69" that comes from /tg/ and basically about sex. I remember it to be shared it like 10 month ago
Well, 4plebs doesn't have any record of the text "Schoolgirl 69" being posted other than in your thread today, so I don't know what to tell you. Sure it wasn't from doublechin?

>>52313057
Pretty sure it was here. I never go to any other chan...
But as you say, I can't find it anywhere anymore, and the thing really was just a list of rule on a word file converted as a pdf, because there wasn't any picture or something only the "new rules and tables"

Depends, what does the dragon have to offer, besides itself? Its hoard? Territorial influence? Ancient knowledge? Besides, what kind of dragon is it anyway?

"I hate to ask, Glauccongaron the Black...in fact given that it will involve my daughter I really, really hate asking this...but I'm going to have to inquire as to the...logistics...of your attempts to secure an heir for the kingdom. If you know what I mean. Please tell me you know what I mean. Please tell me you're one of those dragons that can shape-shift into human form, or at least human size."

Basically, don't shove monsters in the players face, keep them stalking, lurking in the shadows.

Don't name the monster, describe the monster- preferably without naming anything else like 'dog-like.' Fear of the unknown > fear of Page 51 of the Monster Manual

You don't have to have monsters, either. Inexplicable shit like sinister messages sent to the players allegedly by other players can be good. Give them a safe space, then make it uncertain if it's actually safe.

FInally, don't worry about it too much. If they players don't want to be scared, they won't be, so it's as much up to the players to make the experience work as it is up to you.

Know the difference between fear, dread, and anxiety.

You Fear things that you know are scary. Dread is the more vauge feeling you get when you suspect a scary thing but don't know what that thing might actually be. Anxiety is when you have a dread/fear and you just don't know what to do about it.

Generally speaking, Dread is what you're going to go for most of the time. Try to think of Resident Evil, or Silent Hill. You want your PC's to be able to handle whatever monsters you might throw at them, but you also want your PC's to know that every vicotry expends dificult to replace recources. You want them anxious about when to fight, and when to run. You want them dreading the next monster you throw at them. You're only go to generate real fear in your players with quick jump scares when BBEG or Unknown's catch up to them, then they'll step back ooc and start being gamers rather than their characters.

wait.
That could be a one shot. Assuming the enemy had no deny effects. Plus, it's the only the hand. If you have stuff on the field, this can carry through and have a good follow up.

I never understood why this damage was so low. What, were they afraid someone was going to pull an OTK with it?

tfw you drop a prime time and they freak out
tfw you drop newmrakul and they cry like a little bitch.

Everyone jokes about the 12 post v miracles matchup, but I feel like mentor made it actually winnable for the miracles side. It's still pretty unfavored, but it's not nearly as bad as it was.

Step 44 probably requires more alcohol, so go get some.

Step 45 Da Archivist Does Not Have An Opinion.
He sits on the side of a river and writes down everything that floats by.
Yachts, canoes, trees, trash, bodies... and he logs them all.

Opinions are best used when Anon asks; "What is a good X for Y?" If they ask, we Invite you to climb on your soapbox and give us your Best sales pitch. Many of us are quite interested in learning about them.

STEP 5 Please be patient with the Irrepressible Urchins who request without looking first. They are a regular feature here. They help bump the thread, and they want to look at something that's not porn. They might even read it. You don't have to answer them, although that also bumps the thread.
You don't kick a puppy for not being housebroken. If they upset you, tell your monitor or your teddy bear. Please don't tell us about it. I understand your frustration, they used to drive me crazy. I would punch my teddy bear.

STEP 6 Rumors of Da Archivist being an A.I. from the Deep Web are unfounded. It does not have mysterious ulterior motives. He is a real person and a moderately well adjusted Luddite Amish Geek who lives in Intercourse, PA and hides his laptop in the hayloft of the barn with a solar panel. The best part about where he lives is that all the girls have Preacher's Daughter Syndrome.
