Most of my friends know I do tabletop gaming. I don't advertise it, but occasionally it comes up and I'll happily explain it to people who ask about it. About half my friends are gamers too, either tabletop RPG, wargaming or video games.

It's a pretty common hobby these days, nothing to be ashamed about and hide.

>>52310550
>How do your family and friends feel about your hobby?
they don't

I'm 30 and they hate it. They think I'm a manchild, but in my defense, I have a debilitating disease and I'm trying to finish school part time. Plus I don't vidya anymore really, some vr games maybe.

So meh, I stopped giving a shit and mostly live life vicarously through my grimdark fantasies.

We have a party of kobolds going on at the moment.

The leader is a witch doctor that wears her master's skull as a hat, casts Command spells by means of voodoo dolls, and generally tries to make herself look stronger than she is.

There's a cleric that hates ranged weapons after her friend got killed by a crossbow, found a like mind in Tempus, and somehow he decided to start sending spells to her. She fights by beating the shit out of the enemy with a shovel.

There's a dim, kindly fighter that's so strong he keeps breaking shit by accident. He carries the paw of his beloved dead pet rabbit, Lennie, around his neck.

There are hirelings: a suicidal pretty boy, a senile old grandma, a highly enthusiastic girl, a heartbroken archer, and a scarred sapper.

And then there's the elven rogue that has the miserable lot in life in having to herd these assholes around.

Anyone haves the pdf for owl hoot trial?

Also is donjon OSR?

>>52307463
Pretty sure OSR is less system and more mindset.

I usually don't make them any bigger than our current crop of land animals.

>>52303592
Well, it depends on how you handle the fights : if you go shadow of the colossus style, or adding description on how they hurt the creature, you can take on enormous foes (bashing its head, using whatever magic item available...) But going WoW style by hitting only foots will certainly not work realistically. It's also obvious that many classes, if they don't have specific power or magic items will struggle to justify their actions (like a thief hitting a dragon with a 1 foot dagger...)

>>52303592
Kind of setting dependent, idn't it? Exalted has that one scorpion that's bigger than the planet, for example. I couldn't bring myself to read Graceful Wicked Masques, but I'm guessing you can fight it.

I've got a bit of a theme going. I'm the worst 40k fan.

Yes rocket science is still a thing. The actual material space is still there. the only things keeping you out of space are all the mundane problems

Go! Princess Precure was a really amazing show about a girl who wants to become a princess, an idol and a star student in a high class academy getting together to beat up monsters Eventually they're joined by a real magical princess. I highly recommend it as my 2nd favorite Precure show. (Behind Heartcatch)

So like, kill own parents and get adopted?

My current characters backstory is a security guard on his parents medium lift freighter. From there he left them to go find adventure elsewhere

Mine is a Watto's junkyard slave, who has pretty good jedi powers but was left behind by Qui-Gon because Anakin's powerlevel outshined his.

>>52293791
Watto enslaves a lot of jedi kids, huh?
makes you think

Based on "Striking Surface" from power-ups 2: Perks, would a counterpart Perk that requires DR 2 on hands/feet, and makes it so you never take damage from striking things with your hands, be fair?

Alright GURPS gen, stat a "shitposter."

>>52287886
Sure; once you've reached that much DR investment that seems like a great use of perks.

Intolerance(games I don't like)

>>52282933
>if the PCs don't save her in time, wink wink, nudge nudge?

The villain plans to annoy my love interest to death by winking at her and jabbing her upper arm with his elbow?

>>52282933
Yes, it is too far. There's nothing stopping you from doing it, however.

>>52282933
If the villain was going to get lewd with her, he'd have probably done it straight away when he captured her.

≥newb questions
Me me me! I post upside down last night on Earth pics.

Played one match of Elysium last night and probably came in third or last but I don't know because my friend pulled my board dumping my victory points into the banks. He knew I didn't win anyway so it didn't matter. I stole three of his victory points though and he missed first place, by one freaking point. I put on my slightly smug grin when I realized that I cost him the game. He regularly stomps my ass as the zombie player in lnoe.
>feels good bro
I have some newb qs, some just bgg related generic stuff, like I'm sure most of y'all prefer if we post pics it's actual bgg related pics, right? Any filler pics allowed? I've seen tons of bggs that never reach their image limit. Is it ok to post filler pics, sometimes?

>filler pics
I'm pretty sure I've only seen /bgg/ hit the image limit once in the 4-5 years I've been posting in it, and that was during pic related spam week. We tend to be a pretty relaxed general, so the only major complaints you'll see are
>shilling
>stop reposting this story
>that rec image is old and sucks
>your taste is awful/not a game

Long as you don't go too far afield with your posts you're fine, most of us are gamers period, not just board, but vidya/rpg too.

Played Twilight Imperium for the second time this weekend, though the first time was a complete shit show. 5 players, took about 9 hours on top of rules explanation, lunch and a practice round. I won as the nekro virus in 8 rounds though I could've won in 7 if I hadnt forgotten to steal tech when I destroyed enemy units as defender.
It was such a blast I could've easily played again the next day! A trashy, unbalanced and bloated game like TI3 has no right being so much fun.
