Rolled 2 (1d10)

>>55124057

>>55124081
Alright so we got a Human, do you guys want this guy to the leader of the gang? Also roll a D3

Rolled 1 (1d3)

>>55124096
Why not?

>>55123529
It's fine.

>>55123529
Game becomes even more bland. Though to be fair most of the other races are essentially rerolling humans/animal people and then making the trait default.

Fine as long as they don't get autistic about their precious setting. I personally wouldn't join their games.

>>55123260
Yes, I do. It really adds a level of atmosphere to the game.

>>55123324
Where do you go to get some good ones? Bonus points if web based or on an app since I don't like having a laptop at the table.

My groups typically use tons of music in our sessions.

The routine is that the GM comes with a lot of music prepared, and by scene chooses one track of his list and puts it on repeat, until a change of the situation merits a change of the track.

Tracks are typically chosen for sustaining a certain atmosphere without having extreme changes of mood, crescendos, and so forth. Tracks without vocals are also usually preferred, even though there are a lot of exceptions to this.

Shelob was hungry, and Gollum wanted his precious.

Certainly, they caused and exploited a weakness in the walls of Mordor... but calling them heroes is a bit much.

Especially since Shelob is the spawn of an eldritch evil from beyond creation, while the ring is merely the manifestation of the power of the lieutenant of LotR's version of Satan.

>>55123259
I feel like this was meant to be a /tv/ thread but spooder and this de plater guy both sound interesting

>>55123310
In fact, if it weren't for Shelob's "mother" the entire thing wouldn't have happened.

>>55122627
woah this is some good mapporn? how was this map made? What program did you use? I NEED IT

For your first time around, I would suggest happing out a small area. Like a kind of regional map. That lets you have a good bit of detail in the starting area and remember, nothing is "canon" until the players encounter it.

>>55123216
yeah but how do i draw it if i can't draw :(

>>55122230
Plan each encounter as if you meant to kill all the players. They'll usually survive. Obviously don't dump Orcus on the level 1 party, but have your Goblins equip shields or bring molotov cocktails. It's more fun for the players if they have to counter an enemy plan than it is to just get into a slugfest with them.

I average about 0.25 characters per session.

All from the same player. He doesn't learn from his past mistakes and his response to plan A failing is always "I shoot it with my Ruger Super Warhawk." Maybe Shadowrunning isn't for him.

I run very low lethality games as a matter of course. Players can generally only die at specific dramatic moments, although I'm lucky enough that I have a group who will sometimes willingly spend their characters life if it feels right and there's a reason for it at the time.

That doesn't mean I run an easy game without challenge or danger, though. I'm lucky enough to have players who care enough about the setting and the characters in it that I can set up extremely high stakes situations with a lot on the line, and make victory a real struggle, without needing to threaten the lives of player characters to do it.

If "adventurer" is a profession in your setting, you setting is shit and your DMing skills are shit.

Also stop playing the mediocre shit that is DnD and it's derivatives.

>>55122023
Found the Lawful Evil character

>>55122023
And the goat is the most evil of all.

What's vol.2 like?

>>55120809
Equally unusable. It's the players handbook for being a nobilis tier god. In 3.5

>>55120750
I remember it being pretty hilarious. I especially liked space tapeworm dragon

Is there any jump that will allow me to own my own chipotle chain?

>I was listening to music but now I'm out of music to play
Well, if it helps any, I've been listening to Vaporwave recently. There are long videos with different mixes and tracks on youtube, and I've found it to be a pretty relaxing, unobtrusive genre when you're trying to focus on other stuff. Here's an example link.

(To that other guy who replied to me, I wouldn't really know who has best and worst fluff, I'm not as experienced with Jumping with a lot of the community since I'm always really slow about it.)

I want to steal the City. What would I need to take over its systems?

Visit some other boards.

I suspect this thread will end in quest shitposting

No, that's /x/. /x/ is full of suicide ideation and hucksters, and very little in between.

Kill Bursta Tank worth it or just get two Basilisks for their "Supa Kannons" to be mounted on Wagons

first for The First

Currenty thinking of shit to add to start playing something other than 500pts and then work my way up to a semi competitive list. I'm still relatively new.

Right now running Bloodletters, Flesh Hounds, Crushers and a Herald as my HQ. Thinking about adding some Berzerkers, swapping the Herald for a Lord on Juggernaut and getting some kind of big gunz, not sure what yet.

Thoughts?

this
a friend of mine tried to get his hand on this
each armor set have a def value, plus bonus/malus to the various elements. weapons have attack value, elements plus edge
the stat are classic, we are using a d100 system
i don't know how he roll for the monsters, but they do their special attacks based on dice rolling
lot of shenanigans with the hunter guild, and various obscure groups

for the Monster Hunter universe, he managed to get a surprisingly high amount of lore and build a coherent world with oversized weapons, dragons, and cats
also dwarves, didn't knew there were some in monster hunter

>>55118557
Many baroque hit locations on the monsters are a must.
