About to start running a 17th century pirates themed campaign, needing a good soundtrack. Ideally, I should use a broad variety of tracks: some for sailing or combat on the waves, but also ambient tracks for the streets of a European city, for a fancy ball (can't have a swashbuckling adventure without sneaking into one), a trip across the countryside, maybe something for exploring an Aztec temple... I'm aiming for some serious high-flying shit, not shit-covered Spaniards dying of gangrene. The fancier and cooler the better. Whatever you've got, I'm sure I could make use of.

What is the difference exactly between a dire animal and a larger species of the same animal? Could a king cobra be considered a dire version of the spectacled cobra? Are dire animals naturally occurring or the result of magic fuckery? Where are the dire humans?

What's the simplest system you can think of for a tabletop RPG? I'm introducing a bunch of friends to it so I need the simplest ruleset possible because none of them have much time to memorize how some of the more advanced ones work. I need something you can learn quick

With Shadow of War coming out I'm seeing a lot of pompous assholes stylizing themselves as Tolkien experts condemning it. Never mind most of them probably stopped at the Silmarillion and don't know shit bout my nigga Tevildo (this one illiterate couldn't spell Celebrimbor), but they act like this game's fanfic story is any more distant from the Professor's vision than the previous dozen shitty RPGs. What annoys me most is they act like their interpretation is certainly more correct than the developers' but I guarantee >70% of them would produce the same kind of garbage.
I know this isn't really /tg/ but it's not like /v/ or /lit/ would want to have this discussion so

Hey /tg/, how do you deal with murderhobos?
I have the ancient crown the dwarf wears that gives him his eldritch knight powers be also a test of character. Basically 3 ancient dwarf royalty are judging his actions and are the things that grant him his powers. He attempted to kill a Naga guardian in a temple the party rescued for commanding him to stand up and stop disemboweling the dead enemies in the sacred room and listen. His response was to murder it. At that instant his crown activated and put him in a trance. He heard the discussion of the 3 dwarfs and how they were judging him. One was sick of his horrid actions and took away a cantrip, the other was still reserving judgement and the last had hope for him and gave him another cantrip. Obviously the player got very salty and said that it wasn't fair, but I am curious is this the right way to go about it or am I being a dumbfuck? I told him this was going to be a test of character, and his response was nothing is controlling his mind and he wants to find the entities in the crown and murder them. Am I in the wrong for doing this? Can anyone offer help with murderhobos and characters who's sole purpose is to hit shit with a weapon.

Thinking of trying to make a tabletop wargame and/or RPG system that uses Legos. I'm thinking something that uses "master Builder" characters as generals and then the random usual guys as pieces, and allow master builders to deconstruct terrain and set pieces, to a certain number of bricks/pieces, to build new fortifications or other set pieces with certain pieces having variable functionality decided when it is used in a new construction. anyone think its cool? have any ideas?

I have been playing under many different GMs lately. I have noticed that several of the inexperienced or "experienced but set in their old ways" GMs have fallen into a certain bad habit:

"I had something in mind as a GM, and I do not want to let the players deviate from that by solving problems in alternative fashions."

Some call it "railroading," but that is not accurate. It is more of an issue of the GM shutting down any and all problem-solving methods that would cause the adventure to deviate from what they had envisioned. The main way this manifests is making noncombat skills suffer:

• Knowledge/lore skills: This would let the PCs "know too much" and figure out what to do to solve problems in another way. The GM subsequently either gives scant and unhelpful information even on a clear success, or concocts an excuse for why the knowledge/lore is inapplicable.

• Social skills: This would let the PCs either "learn too much" from NPCs, or sway the NPCs into acting in ways the GM had not envisioned. It might even let the PCs circumvent that cool combat encounter the GM had planned! So, the GM either downplays successes on social skills, or gives an excuse for why "there is no way you could convince them of that."

• Stealth skills: Rarer than the above two (usually because stealth has its own problems in a party-based game), this lets PCs "learn too much" by entering places that the GM did not intend for them to travel to, circumvent a battle that the GM had planned, or gain an "unfair advantage" from ambush that the GM does not know how to handle. The GM thus makes it terribly inconvenient, if not impossible, to use stealth.

This pushes the party into a paradigm wherein the only problem-solving method they can count on is "get into a fight and beat everyone up," which encourages those "murderhobo" tendencies that these same GMs dread.

Persuading a GM to change their ways can be difficult. How would you break these GMs out of this specific bad habit?

I'm about to start a Pathfinder campaign loosely based off of Southern Gothic storytelling. Based in a locale that's a bit too similar to the swamps and bogs of Louisiana and Florida.

I'm a bit of a musical stickler when it comes to storytelling, and when I GM I play music to match the mood I'm trying to convey.

Unfortunately, I cannot find anything specifically geared towards the haunting almost Voodoopunk feel that I want to convey.

I know this is only loosely related to /tg/ but it would really help a GM out, so throw me a bone?
