H-Rep, Farcast, and Seedware all seem to be similar to one another in scope i.e. they make up a collection of homebrewed ideas which tend to have a few that build upon each other e.g. a new Planet and the creatures that inhabit it in separate entries.

I'm thinking of calling them "Homebrew Catalogs". Thoughts?

Look, I get most of my trannies from tabletop, so either buy the estrogen or settle for a man in drag.

I don't play TTRPGs to put up with other people's fetishes.

If you want to go ERP elsewhere, feel free. But if all you want to do is be the little girl and weird everyone else out with your obvious sexual motivations, you're not welcome in any other kind of game.

What's the best build, in general, for a swashbuckler, including high levels not typically reached? 11 fighter/3 rogue? just for fun

What's wrong with a straight swashbuckler?

Their fluff was always shit. They just happened to get named heroes to match their fluff.

>>52321912
Some guy called Matt Ward wrote their second codex, during 5th edition.

Matt Ward has a bad reputation on /tg/.

There were various retcons and changes to the fluff - their strength increased from 800 to 3000 marines in the whole chapter, for example, and an anecdote involving bloodshed and Sisters of Battle that breaks with GK fluff and is particularly reviled, and Kaldor Draigo's escapades in the Warp were first mentioned there, without later books' mention of his victories not actually mattering since the Big Four just put back everything after he wrecks it.

Those are merely individual examples. There are more besides.

THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK!

After many requests Tomasz Adamczyk, the man with the most Polish name to ever be written.

>6 year old leaves home to start a promising career as a hobo, parents accept without protest.
>Refuses to steal, because of his solid 6 year-old work ethic.
>Taken in by a kindly hunter who, predictably, dies.
>Recruited by a retired Paladin and brought to the Farwatch Abbey.
>Makes friends, learns about paladin-ing
>Grows close to a pair kids who remind him of his... parents?
>Old Paladin dies.
>Walks the earth for 16 years, encounters one of his old friends, learns the other one died in Katapesh
>Friend suggests he goes to Katapesh
>Tomasz does, meeting Grayth.

This party sucks. lol I bet they don't even have a bugout bag. I'd rather be innadesert operating. My feet hurt. Someone pelase break in so I can smite them.

Good:
I really like basically everything in the third paragraph of the personality section. It finally adds a bit of color to the character.

Bad:
The childhood portion of his backstory is laughably bad. I don't care how determined or principled you want to make a PC, saying a starving 6 year old "would not disrespect that honest work" is beyond silly.

What's the point of Kira and Ahmad? Like... other than the throwaway line about his leadership skills, they don't have any noticeable influence on his personality or development. We don't know anything about their relationship, and they don't have any impact on the plot; other than providing a weak motivation to be in Katapesh. So... why?

His connection to the plot is incredibly token, and he doesn't even have the (flimsy) justification of the Outlander trait. I get that the author is attempting to setup a "passing the torch" storyline, but we don't know anything about his relationship with the mentor, so there's no emotional pull to make us care.

>>52321716
His personality is (mostly) incredibly boring. He's described as "dead and lightless," but there's nothing particularly traumatic in his backstory to justify his moping. Same thing with his robotic attitude. I kinda thought the comparison to Master Chief was a joke, but that's what this character reminds me the most of; the faceless, nameless protagonist of a generic military shooter.

Now, here's my solution to these problems:
The one thing we keep returning to is that Tomasz only felt happy in training, so the solution is obvious.
Make Kira and Ahmad actual characters. Tell us more about what Tomasz thinks of them and give them something to do by having Tomasz travel with them. Following the fall of the monastery, he gets swept up in their naive crusade to cleanse Katapesh, which would, coincidentally, be a good way to *show* Kira's supposedly amazing leadership skills. This solution even ties into his motivation and *why* he's so dead inside; have the trio fail, and both of the siblings die (or one dies and the other is left crippled, relying on Tomasz for everything), breaking Tomasz mentally. Now, he's struggling to make ends meet (possibly to care for his crippled friend), which is why he's turned to mercenary work. His long term goal of trying to found a new monastry is the manifestation of his obsession with "getting it right" and finally "winning the war."

>Appeal 3/10, personality doesn't interest me in the least. Maybe I'd care if I knew *why* he is the way he is.
>Backstory 2/10, boring, nonsensical, and doesn't even give him a good reason to be in Katapesh.
>Compatibility 6/10, Paladins are never out of place, the VMC gives him some good party utility, personality doesn't have enough to conflict with.
>Aaaaarabian Niiiiiights 1/10, only a second hand connection to the setting, no Arabian flavor.

>this general
the next several days of generals, you mean

The ritual

>>52320558
so if someone else turns you into a lich then it's not evil?

Religion is on about how death is only natural, how the true power behind life and everything is in the soul, and how we shouldn't mess with the natural order of things.

Liches are literally a giant middle finger to the established order of things. No gods get their souls, they can continue living, and people start asking questions. The only way to save face and stop everything from going to shit is to defame and demonize the very idea of being a lich.

That, or the whole 'Magic decaying badass' is a bit too much for people to accept at once, so they attribute it to being evil. Also, quite a few liches are really dickish in general, so there is that.

Are you looking for a night job specifically ?

>>52320388
At first, I was looking with a preference for jobs that wouldn't interrupt any games I'm already in. But I haven't had any luck with that so far, and I can't keep holding out for ever. I'm getting close to the point where I'll just take any job I can find, no matter what the schedule is.

Not to say it's impossible that the games I'm in could be rescheduled if needed, but I also don't know with certainty that they could because I don't know what hours I'd be working at whatever job I hopefully find soon.

> I'm just curious if you fa/tg/uys think it would be irresponsible or rude to have joined a game in the first place if you're looking for work.

give them a heads up on the situation, any reasonable person should understand and be accommodating

OP here I have heard of DDM just cant find 3.5 rules if any exist

D&D miniatures rules. Direct translation from 3.5 to tabletop skirmish game. I'm pretty sure you can find rules and stat cards online.

>>52320153
Search for original edition from DDM guild.

Honestly it's generally a dick move on the DM's part
But mostly cause the DM controls the PC, I would say if you had a player the DM trusted enough to be able to RP being charmed it would be okay, otherwise only if it's the player's fetish

>How to DM charm effects correctly
1. Don't tell the player they've been charmed
2. Present the NPC in question in a much better light than you would normally, as if everything they're saying is good and reasonable, possibly even act surprised if the player character questions this. Say the character looks sincere and innocent.
3.Disadvantage on all Insight/Perception/Investigation/whatever skill your game uses to determine when things are out of place.

There, BAM, no railroading, you're just presenting things in a way a charmed character would see them.
