Precisely because the last guy can develop those skills. It's not that hard, he got no excuse. It's not posible to learn magic and it's not desirable to learn to kill your friends.

>>51689765

But if you won't budge from your standpoint, during the debate or dispute, there is no progress. You can talk for hours and still no budge.

That is why I'm looking for something that breaks the status quo.

Ego is HP (add Cha bonus).
Burn is BAB (add Int bonus) .
Sass is AC (add Wis).

The GM was the main villain all along.

Babby's first plot twist.

The party's dog was the main villain all along

've never played Go and I'm shit at chess.

If I win, it's more by dumb luck than any actual skill.
At most I can only plan 2-3 moves in advance.

Zugswang is my fate in the end.

Get gud.

Go is much more difficult than chess in my opinion

Ive been playing Go almost every day for about a yea and im still terrible. But ive made satisfying progress.

YGIG seems to work well for guildball. While concurrent actions are neat, I think wargames are generally too abstracted to make them work.

>YGIG seems to work well for guildball
what do you mean exactly by this ?

I Go You Go

Force them to play Paranoia instead.

>>51687667
>>51687644
Alternatively, have them run Paranoia while telling them it's a superhero game.
I have no idea what that would be like, as I am only familiar with the game from /tg/ stories, but image of these two very confused, uncommunicative guys trying to make this work with no idea what they're doing, the other guy is trying to do, or what the game is about is making me grin like an idiot.

My dice tower doubles as your mom's best friend and the thing I used to bust your dad's nose.

>>51687526
Depends. It's worth it if you have players that fudge their dice and are willing to use it.

We had one, but it wasn't used, so it wasn't worth it.

>>51687526
Do you tend to throw your dice all over the floor or are you severely autistic about randomization? A dice tower might be right for you.

Is making shit formats that no-one plays a hip new meme?

You mean like Frontier? :D

>>51687423
Was about to post this myself.

Read "Gehenna" and "Time of Judgement", Specifically "Reckoning".

Even Revised Edition VTM has a few words on what earth would look like if mortals discovered the existence of Vampires.
Even better, Watch Underworld: Awakening, It's LITERALLY set in a Vampires-Are-Discovered scenario

>>51687003
I don't have those books unfortunately. what can you tell me about them?

I typically throw the lore out of the old world of darkness. My group are a bunch of edgelords, and cringe at anything Judaeo-Christian.

>>51686950
1. Realistically, The Technocracy would cover it up immediately. Anyone involved would be snuffed out/black bagged and forced/Mind-Wiped into co-operation. Official statements would either ignore the event or call it a Hoax, "evidence" would be provided that there ARE NO BEINGS BUT HUMANS. All those responsible would either disappear, be mind wiped, or Be assimilated into the Technocracy's ranks.

But BARRING THAT

The Elders of the Camarilla and Sabbat would panic, the Sabbat regent declaring the hour of Gehenna to be upon us all, and mobilizing every Viniculum for war. The Camarilla would shatter, splinted by losing the only thing that kept them all together: the Necessity of the Masquerade. The Anarchs would push for "civil rights for Vampires". It's likely the Governments of the world would attempt to Eradicate the threat, bringing in Government Specialists like the people at Project Twilight and Task Force X to spearhead cleanup operations.

2. The Garou would hide if they hadn't been outed, and watch the Human's slaughter their ancestoral enemy. The Glasswalkers would make moves on the corporate holdings and real Estate of various vampires. The Silver Fangs would exclaim this ordeal as a victory for Gaia, the Shadow Lords would call it a travesty as it risks exposing them.

>Is 40k still fun?
Depends on who you play with.

>Thinking of getting back into warhammer 40k I want to build a nob biker army?
Orks are probably the weakest army in the game right now, but biker Orks are probably one of the better parts of a list, especially if you include the Forge World biker HQ.

Mix in some Mek Guns and you got a pretty meta Ork list.

>>51686246

Biker Orks can work. Nob Bikers however are absolute trash. They lost their invulnerable saves in their last update, and shooting has gotten a hell of a lot more powerful since 5th edition.

However, as >>51687573 says, Zhadsnark the Forgeworld biker boss who makes Biker Boyz troops is the go-to competitive choice for Orks, and Biker Boyz are probably the best unit in the codex. Bear in mind that the Ork codex is criminally underpowered currently, so even a total power-gaming Ork list is little better than mid-tier overall.

>>51687573

If you take Zhad then you can't really take mek guns unless you want to chuck in a small grot CAD...

Which isn't that bad an idea, considering you can get more HQs out of it.

By getting better friends who aren't shit at games

Seriously, go down and explain "Hey, this is why you will die with a character like this."

5e is a good game where you have to really try and fuck up your builds, but - Assuming that you didn't roll for stats and half the party just got shafted - it sounds like they want something different than you do. Make sure you're both on the same page.

>>51686305
Ok, first off, cut the crap. These are hardly overly optimized builds for 5e. All that bullshit about multiclassing is from people who've never actually run the system or used multiclassing in 5e.

OP's problem here is that he obviously had everyone roll for stats. My honest suggestion is have everyone re-spec using point buy.

>>51685878
Actually, the world is flat. Fuck off with your 3D propaganda, noone has been able to show that the government allows people to photograph the supposed "land" behind the ice mountains that ring the edge of the world. Don't even bother showing me those photoshops.

>>51685928

Preposterous, anyone with half a brain knows that the world is an inverted pyramid, with our side making up the top!

>>51685957
I almost respected the 'pyramid-heads' as I called them, but those cowards refused to acknowledge the proof of my theories.
