Talk to him like an adult?

Take him aside and ask him what's up

Is there something wrong with your dming? Would he rather be playing a different style game? Is he just blowing of steam because he's usually forever DM? Is there a way you can sort things out so he can enjoy it and you don't get your game ruined?

One would assume as a DM himself he would understand

>>51270503
How do you bluff your way out of any social challenge? How is that even possible.

What the fuck are his modifiers?

>>51270503
passive-aggressively slight him though the game at every opportunity.

Bump because i need that too

>>51270439
By how cities were laid out, do you mean, how settlements are located across a region, or the way a city itself was organized?

>>51273029
I'm not OP but how the city is organized sounds like the real question.

>>51269833
Probably never, because there's so many hole's in the systems that it would error out every time something happened.

>>51269833
>better than any human?
Never? Since one can not "Win" the game.

And if you question is when can a computer player the game? They answer is not fucking soon enough. I'd love to be able to log online and do a 1 on 1 DM-Player session anytime I wanted.

>>51269833
LMAO NICE GAME CHESSKIDDIES

>>51269530
Leaked pictures?

All Loyalist Primarchs will have achieved some form of ascendency into a higher plane of existence. This will require either being touched by the influence of the Warp or actually being in the Warp.

>Leman Russ died in the Warp, but his soul is preserved by the memory of countless Fenrisians who have ascended him to a god of the materium through power of belief.
>Guilliman will recover as a primarch ascendant - dead in mortal form, but reincarnated as the spiritual vessel of the entire empire of Ultramar
>inversely, Lion El Johnson will die and stay dead because he is kept a secret
>Dorn is probably shackled in chains by Perturabo in secret, mutated beyond recognition, and will be killed during the Last Siege of Terra to demoralize the defenders, but his soul will be absorbed into the Emperor and his consciousness will echo throughout the minds of the defenders, reinvigorating their defense
>Sanguinius is reincarnated as a god who will burn away an entire hivefleet
>Corax has evolved into a raven god
>Jaghatai Khan will return to Terra surfing on Ascended Vulkan, who has obtained the ultimate form of a Space MegaSalamander (also Vulkan's final treasure is a Blackstone Fortress because Vulkan finds cool stuff)
>Saint Celestine is revealed to be one of the lost Primarchs, whose special evolution is reincarnation
>The anti-Chaos forces currently residing in the Webway form a coalition to recover the second lost Primarch's sacred weapon for the final battle against the Traitor Primarchs, which is currently held by Commander Farsight.

Let me guess, they'll all be bigger, bulkier and stronger than Ghazghkull, all of which is ridiculous.

GW needs to pay.

>>51269441
But there isnt. However, I can understand where you are coming from. I think it has to do with what makes dwarves... dwarves. If caves and mines make dwarves dwarfy then thats what they are. Elves are elfy because they have trees, magic, and other crap. They have more characteristics to expand upon.

>>51269441
Tolkien had a lot of different elven kingdoms/"ethnicities" which readers mistook for separate species

>>51269441
Well there are usually dark dwarves in most settings, like chaos dwarves in Warhammer fantasy or the dreuger of Pathfinder so that's more than just one subrace

Self insert is worse by far. Nothing wrong with some escapism in a fantasy setting. However the sheer arrogance and conceit it would take to make everyone at the table suffer you-pretending-to-be-yourself is mind boggling.

>>51269328
Neither is bad if the player isn't a terrible person.
Any character is insufferable if the player is too.

>>51269328
Self insert, isn't wish fulfillment a large part of roleplaying?

>>51269011
Well, Rogue Trader works pretty well for some Xenos/Oddballs in the party. But really, it just sounds like your players don't want 40k, so either find new players or a new setting.

>>51269011
Run black crusade maybe? They sound like a bunch of fucking heretics

It sounds like they don't want to actually roleplay in the 40k setting. Play a different game.

>>51268733
It's obvious that they got un-WoWized you plebian. Go back to /v/ with your video game 4e WoW simulator tastes.

>>51269383
Stale. Get a new one.

Firbolgs have been viking looking giants long before WOW was even a thing, you ignorant swine.

>>51268698
i like the idea of a huge crossbow. like a handheld ballista.

>>51268698
Greatsword. Can't beat that style.

>What's your go-to two-handed weapon for when you need to go full murderhobo on something?
I've yet to play, or even really plan out, any BIG SMASH builds for 5e. I tend to like playing with utility, even if that means I'm just buffing my allies.

I got it for Christmas mostly because I'm a model nut and I wanted a tiny David bowie but the game itself is nothing special and very relient on random dice rolls. It could be fun for an evening of drinking or that sort of thing but there aren't any deeper elements. I've seen it compares to talisman but I've never played that so I don't know how it compares

>>51268791
So would you say it's worth 80 bucks or hold off? It seems board games appreciate more than my /toy/ hobby.

>>51268643
Look up reviews of the game on the 'Board Game Geek' web site. You may well also be able to find 'how to play' / 'review' videos of it on Youtube.

Now for the storytime:
As a quick sum up for anyone not following.
(We would be just at the start of episode 3 on our blog if you want to read more)

>Our party is a group of kids who started up playing a game called Digimon Online.
>They end up meeting their partners and sign up for an adventure much grander than anyone of them expected.
>After a quick intro fight with a ninja on a train, the crew end up in the starter city and embark on their first quest.
>Unfortunately, things turn sour once they get there as an unexpected enemy shows up:
Hollowmon.


After the earthquake and a few athletics rolls, half of the party falls and gets stuck in some wireframe goop coming from the group.

There they find out what all the digimon were running from.

>A looming monstrous body crests over the hill. Its body is entirely made of a similar black wireframe to the muck at some of the kid’s feet. Its body is long, but thick and disjointed as it lopes along the ground. It doesn't have a "face" in the traditional sense, just an eerie mask that stares at the children with empty black eyes. From its "mouth" a chill mist whooshes out as it breathes in a labored way, even though the temperature was quite warm and sunny. It lets out a howl that sounds like an anguished wolf and rapidly charges at the party.

This poor abomination was later revealed to be called Hollowmon.

Starting the battle, Hawkmon gets his first evolution, Tentomon evolves, and between those two and Shoutmon, all manage to get everyone out of the muck. Once everyone was safe, Stingmon goes in and attacks Hollowmon, unleashing his first “ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!” spam (something he and the Banchos became very well known as the game progressed) unfortunately it didn’t seem to have much effect on the Hollowmon.

Nor did any of his or the other party member’s attacks making both players and characters very worried.

>>51268443

As attacks continue to prove ineffective, Abby comes out with the suggestion to run.

Both Konrad and Castor are against the idea, Castor noting that this is a just game and if the rest of them want to run, they can, but he wasn’t going anywhere.

Chie decides to Jojo reference it up pulls a Joseph Joestar and flees. Todd didn’t actually have any input at this point, which sort of became a regular thing for him.

Abby and Castor have a battle of wills and between her baby doll eyes and Castor’s iron headedness. Their players do opposing rolls and thanks to dies being in Abby’s favor, she managed to win out and convince him to go. Much to Coronamon’s disappointment.
With everyone running, Konrad follows along as peer pressure is too strong.

All the while the Hollowmon pleads for them not to run in LOUD…BROKEN…SENTENCES”

Which the kids ignore.

They manage to escape via the pads they entered from returning to Hub City, leading to a second part of their journey, I may or not may not follow up with.

(Should probably note that everyone decided to run once it reached Castor’s turn on the initiative table, so he didn’t even get a chance to try and do anything. Poor kid only wants to punch digimon.

Also, the GM later revealed that we could have totally won against the Hollowmon, so Castor was right all along, but please ignore player bias.)

In the meantime, have a cute Abby.
Literally impossible to say no to those eyes.

The Clockwork Nirvana of Mechanus, but if they all had a big fight then either Acheron or Pandemonium would be the last plane standing.

DMs Waifu plane.

>>51268174
Sigil.

>What new horizons do you want to show /pfg/?

Game of Thrones in Brevoy.

STALKER in Iobaria.

Embroidering Simulator in Casmaron.

>>51268027
