Right fa/tg/uys, tonight I've heading to the first session of a UA3 game using the press release from the kickstarter
I've got high hopes for this, we've got a good group going for this and I want your help
First, for those fags who don't know the game, it's an occult horror game about fucked up people who will do ANYTHING to get what they wanteven if what they want is fucking stupid. In session one we are gonna be doing world/character building before we get into the actual game
So, post creepy crap for me to print/quote for the world building tonight, and if it ends up some quality shit I'll post resultseveryone loves story time
I'm looking for pictures of people, weird stories, places... Basically any interesting/weird shit I can crowbar into an occult setting. I'll try and use as much as I can posted here, but no promises
>>51373316
Op here, posting some examples of shit I'd like to see
>>51373355
Gnolls fit into this great niche where if Orcs and Goblins aren't 100% evil, they can fill the position pretty seamlessly. But aside from ruthless savages there isn't much more readily available for them.
So in preparation for a campaign that's coming up I wanna ask /tg/, how do you use Gnolls in your campaigns and settings?
What do you differently, if anything?
And really, do they need to be anything but brutish raiders?
Also Savage Races general.
Hopeful Bump.
>>51362121
They tend to have more infighting than orcs and goblins. Despite never really communicating with other races, they can use them for their own political games.
>pack of hyena gnolls abandons the old leader to be slain by the party.
I have them as nomadic hunters out in the plains and deserts that excel at taking down huge game together. I don't like the idea of races being 100% evil all the time, but gnolls are definitely amoral. Like, they can be friendly enough and even helpful sometimes, but they also wouldn't think twice about selling you out if they had something to gain from it.

What's your favorite cube pusher /bgg/? How about your favorite plastic/minis game; would you love it as much if it was boring wooden blocks/meeples? Why dry euro could use a reprint with better art and components to make it take off?
First for Seasons best game
>>51360392
Only old school Euro with cubes I still have is Puerto Rico, I like it a fair bit (wait, they're more like hexagons right ? Whatever. Close enough)
My favorite minis & dice game is Shadows of Brimstone and playing with cubes & meeples would fucking suck.
As for your third question. I have no idea. I mostly like ameritrash games. I like euros too, but I'm very content with the meager selection I own (Lords of Waterdeep, Pergamon, Thebes, PR, Scoville) I never feel like I need more.
>>51360392
probably stone age with the expansion.

Question of the Thread:
>How do you do geisha?
>Do you have male geisha?
>Do you make your geisha moonlight as prostitutes as well?
And then they fucked.
>>51285173
Male geisha are a thing, but they gave a different name-- I think it starts with an o-- and their behaviour is different. They still fulfill the same purpose of providing samurai a place to just be humans, but where geisha are supposed to be gentle and soothing, these guys are boisterous and act like your best friend and drinking buddy.
>>51285173
I think the male whores are called butterfly boys
Wanted to dump something that happened while hosting a D&D campaign on Roll20.
Here we go
>online friend wants to get into dnd but knows nobody to play with
>offer to host a campaign with him and some other online friends because fuck it, i haven't played in a while and talking about it made me want to play all over again
>If you've never played DnD online, trust me on this one and DONT FUCKING DO IT, IRL dnd is a million times better.
>Manage to gather some people who are down for a party of 4
>guy who initially wanted to play and some other guy bail out
>great
>since we can't find two more players i'll just list our campaign online to find players
>post our campaign as being a casual D&D 3.5 campaign with a pretty open setting.
>get some applications
>some dude who can't write a fucking sentence of english properly shows up with this silverbrow human bard chick with an anime for reference pic
>my autistic self somehow thought this would be fine and this would fit in with my two other close friends who have little to no experience with DnD
>the other dude rolled this generic human cleric.
>Day of the campaign, we all show up
>party is composed of a half-orc fighter and a birdfolk druid, played by my newbie friends, and the other dude's anime bard thingamajig and this really generic sand cleric
>The guy playing the bard chick has a thick swedish accent and can barely muster comprehensible sentences, both due to poor grammar and his weird swedish accent.
>other dude sounds fine for the moment.
>Players present their characters
>Half-orc fighter is a lawful evil dude who collects the teeth of his fallen enemies to fashion into jewelry.
>Druid and cleric have some really generic druid and cleric stuff
>Bard emphazises on the fact that she is a pacifist and refuses to fight, even though she has a fucking longsword strapped to her back.

>thread with no topic
>stating the obvious about Roll20 campaigns

this better be good.
>>51401244
part 2
>The bard being a pacifist shouldve been a red fucking flag considering our campaign takes place in a city under siege by an orc army, pretty basic stuff for beginners.
>Party wakes up in the demolished tavern, half-orc starts looking around for ale and other supplies
>Bard uses this really cringey female voice and repeadtly tells him to stop
>Half-orc doesn't give a shit, find some pots and some money lying around.
>the half-orc being useful and the bard telling him to stop it is going to be a recurring thing
>eventually a scared dwarf barges in the tavern and starts tellign the party to pipe down because orc patrols are coming
>before the dwarf can explain this, half-orc smacks him unconscious in a single blow.
>Entire party is rightfully mad at him
>decides to sue his potion of cure light wounds he found to heal the dwarf to he can wake up and keep talking
>eventually the cleric did a bluff on the dwarf to make him believe that they found him unconscious after he was attacked by orcs
>somehow worked because nat 20
>dwarf proceeds to tell them taht he can get his airship to work and get the fuck out of the city but he needs people to cover his ass while he preps the ship
>party follows him
>they immediatly encounter a patrol of orcs while exiting the tavern
>druid and fighter single-handedly defeat the orcs, roughly 5 of them
>cleric used literally no spells and kept missing every attack with his -1 attack bonus crossbow, because he refused to fight in melee where his attack bonus was actually positive despite having decent AC
>Bard plays songs to buff the party
>did i say party? i meant his own fucking self
>this fucking bard had a song active that would raise his AC to an obscene 22, and if you managed to hit that, you would have to do a will save of 21 or higher to manage to hit him because otherwise your attack gets cancelled
>hes level fucking 1

>>51401244
part 3
>After the fight is over, the half-orc has about 3 hitpoints left, considering he soaked up all the damage.
>druid asks the cleric if he can heal anyone
>nope
>cleric didn't take a single healing spell and refused to use the cleric special ability gimmick to turn other spells into healing spells because :they might come in handy"
>they did not
>half-orc spots a trapdoor while sifting through the orc;s bodies and decides to check it out
>old creepy cellar with a locked steel door at the end
>entirety of party is down to check it out
>besides the Bard ofc
>half-orc tells the bard to fuck off OOC, and the party decides to check out the cellar
>cellar is very obviously a bandit nest
>half-orc bangs on the door
>bandits ask for a password
>half-orc decides to ditch this place since no one can break open or lockpick this door
>Bard tries fucking diplomacy on the bandits
>doesn't work
>bandits get alerted because they realize someone found their hideouts
>bandits come out the door weapons drawn, both swing at bard but no luck hitting through that wall of obscure rules
>half-orc and druid take down the bandits, half-orc is near death yet again
>half-orc starts collecting teeth, bard gets mad about it again
>half-orc still couldn;t give less of a fuck
>half-orc decides to do a spot check
>try to explain to him how to do this
>cleric and bard start talking about rules in broken english, rules which have little to nothing to do with what;s going on and are ridciulously complicated.
>they did this shit EVERY SINGLE TIME i had to explain something to the new players
>and i had to explain every single dice roll they had to do
>anyway, after a painful 15 minutes of them invoking obscure rules about spot checks for some reason and the new players getting more confused by the seconds, he eventually sucessfully finds the bandit's stash

cont, this is getting long, ill try to shorten it a little
Let's say humans are bronze age Romans, elves are Mongols, dwarves are pre-gunpowder Ottomans, and halflings are gypsies. Who wins in a gigantic war?
>>51400682
Mongols.
>>51400682
Giants
>>51400682
1. Terrible setting, as in utter dogshit.
2. The elves are almost certain to win that.
How heretical would the following be?
Space marine chapter (Forge Born) with close ties to admech, adeptus biologicus in particular.
biologicus provides recruits via iron wombs and a eugenics programs
Chapter has no home world its based in/on a fleet which protects a space station called the labyrinth
The labyrinth is used to cull and train recruits
Chapter has very low numbers as a result
Chapter is focused on small unit tactics
>>51400633
It's not that heretical, it is scorned upon, but not heretical. Krieg does something similar to that.
>>51400633
Problems would arise if the Biologicus are dicking around with the geneseed. That tends to draw unfavourable attention from the Inquisition and any relevant First Founding Chapter, unless the Adeptus Biologicus had sanction from them in the first place.

What colors do you think would fit?
What kind of Sigil? Maybe a maze?

What's your favorite non-combat archetype?
Scholars. But not scholars that are too busy and get pissed when you try and talk to them. Laid back ones, that'll have tea with you while you shoot the shit on science/philosophy/religion/magic.
Any resources homebrew or official if I want to do a monster campaign?
>>51398089
Volo's has some not very impressive stats for playing as most of the go to humanoid monsters.

I like the samurai borg
though they should be more than samurai in SPESS try harder
>>51396124
Is there a recap anywhere? I want to join in, but I need to know what has been added so I don't add something that is already in the setting

Located deep in the Delta sector,boarding the Borderlands and unknown space the Synthesis are the leading technologoical force in the galaxy though few know this as they remain secluded and ever watchful of outsiders that refuse to be taken into the fold.During times of conflict,both outside and internal,the Synthesis make use of augmented troops with spliced xeno genes that make their troops unpredictable and tough.

ITT: What is the Tau's endgame during the end times?
My prediction: A battle between the Imperium and some Xenos or Chaos steamrolls them in the wake of battle on accident.
the tau accidentally win a battle were they are outnumbered 10000000000000 to 1 because they developped a katana fold a quintillion times that can cut throught ceramite armor.
If you really think any author wille make Tau ever suffer a loss in this, you clearly werent there for the last 10 years of fluff.
It's literraly GW second favorite wank after Ultramarines
Whatever the real puppet-masters behind the Ethereals have in mind.
My prediction: A battle between the Imperium and some Xenos or Chaos, and the Tau steamrolls them in the wake of battle on accident.

Is D&D meant to be about the DM vs players?
Or is it meant to be a game for the DM and players to tell a collective story?
>>51391587
YARP
>>51391587
GM and players are meant to enjoy it together. If you make it an adversarial relationship then people cheat, and just generally act like dicks
>>51391587
Yes
