How does your group normally deal with you, OP?

Call him out on being a misanthropic nihilst wallowing in the capricious nature of man like a pig in mud.

>>50773502
I don't understand what he's trying to get at.

You dropped this, Anon. I don't know if it's yours or not, but you can have it.

Try playing with it? I seem to recall them being decent in mk3, or at least better than they were mk2.

So, at this point, has the PP staff thrown up their arms and said "Fuck it, we give up!" on Warroom?

It's been almost 2 weeks since an official reply in that forum.

Has anyone played Maelstrom's Edge? I saw their ad on dakkadakka. I've literally never even heard of this game before but the starter set is about $120CAD and comes with terrain, which seems neat. The models look pretty good imo.

How are the rules? Fags make you pay $10 for the digital rulebook if you don't buy it in the box set

God damnit when are the japanese going to get here for k47?

>>50750096
Pretty sure its a dead game. I remember they did a KS for it, and then nothing afterwards.

>wanting fishniggers to ruin your beach property

As long as they respected our needs of and transportation. If we could work together when it comes to hunting aquatic life for food, and draw out clear transportation lines and boundaries, i'd have no issue with them, might even get a chance to score some qt merm grills.

Easier to give them the D then

>>50724053
If Gnolls are evil based purely on their Fiendish blood, then by that logic every tiefling with Fiendish blood must be evil.

Gnolls are just Hyena/Fiend Tieflings.

>>50724053
Yes anon, we will solve the nature/nurture debate on a fucking image board.

>>50724086
You'd be right except one is half-fiend the other was created by fiends.

Pathfinder veteran and Shadowrun newbie. Text RP-heavy.
The fluff for the Pathfinder character I -really- want to play is a little "out there" involving reality-bending and extraplanar influence, just a heads up.

>>50678597
Are you the one who posted in /5eg/ with the banana pic? I've been wanting to run a text-heavy 5e game for my custom setting, one where progress is made post-by-post, rather than by session-to-session.

Already got 4 players, looking for 2-3 more to expand out the group. The system is basically 3.5 but with everything fixed. Experienced players appreciated but newbies just as accepted.

>>50802087
Realistically, what are you going to do? Construct the trap at the table and force the player to disarm it complete with all the consequences?

The absolute best you can do is paint an extremely descriptive picture of how the spotted trap looks and how the characters believe the mechanism operates and based on how close to disarming it their response is, you might be able to skip the die roll entirely, or if it's rather complex: give them a slight + mod because they approached it cleverly. The die should always be central to unpredictability.

Problem with above is there really are a limited number of traps, and unless your group are locksmiths or EOD or the like, will they really truly enjoy a 5 minute briefing and diagram of the trap every time one is encountered? You'll burn through ideas relatively quick, and even if you don't then meta-knowledge of real world systems will always trump whatever trap you've created thus putting us right back to square one.

>>50802087
The problem with having spotting/avoiding/disabling the trap left up to die roll is that it just becomes a gradual hp drain, you walk down the corridor, the GM rolls dice and you occasionally take damage then keep walking, there's no interactivity. The only way to make the players' decisions matter is to make finding or avoiding the traps down to character actions, not rolls, the issue here is that this leads to the whole 'we poke every tile with a 10-foot pole as we advance' sort of solutions and you're back to square one. So there are two options, you either make traps part of a larger encounter (fight off the goblins while avoiding the swinging pendulums) or having in-game time-pressure so there's a reason to not slow yourself down by checking everything as you progress.

The problem with approaching it like that is that there's no risk vs reward aspect.

When you use traps the right way, you don't litter the main path them. You save them for treasure vaults, locked chests, hidden shortcuts, ect. In a way, it's almost obvious there will be traps there, because the potential rewards are too good to be true otherwise... but now the players have to weigh whether looking for those traps and trying to disarm them to get the potential rewards weighs favorably against the chance that they'll activate them.

>>50802086

It's an amazing game. Requires a day to play with breaks. Can be played 3 - 8 player.

I wouldn't recommend 3 player as one person always ends up ganged up on.

Also you need the right type of people to play. It has more salt potential than monopoly.

Also get good storage as set up and packing away can be time consuming otherwise.

The current temperature outside is -10 degrees celsius. Travel check difficulty increases by +3.

The current temperature outside is -30 Celsius, I guess I'll do up my coat

>>50802334
The current temperature outside is -25, -40 with windchill, guess I shouldn't be out here in my pajamas shovelling snow for longer than ten, maybe fifteen minutes.

>>50801900
Why would I cut off my own hand?

>>50801900

That only really works with lightsabers, what with the 'No bleeding out' thing and the 'Easy access to cybernetic replacements' thing.

>>50802270
I don't know. I'm not weird like you.

Finding the macguffin of turning a demigod into a full blown god of course

>>50801645
Are there any places this 'demigod' cannot actually go? Maybe he needs something from Baator, but hell itself has denied him entry due to either his nature, or because he fucked with life an death. Maybe he needs materials from Sigil, and he's barred entry due to his now divine nature

>>50801676
Never thought about that, actually. Hell is pretty damn hard to get into (aside from the obvious route), and it could totally work in tandem with >>50801666

Check 1d4chan.

They are so good it's hard to fail with them. They are the ideal melee unit. Inexpensive enough to spam them, fast and sturdy enough to get where they need to go, and even enough melee power to take on most targets unlike things like Chaos Spawn which are frail or Khorne Fleshhounds which can be tarpitted by things like Ironclads.

Simply run them at a target they're able to damage, and you will likely intercept them and maybe even kill them.

For extra durability, run them in the Canoptek formation. However, having to operate within the limits of that formation sorely restrict their ability to spread out or separate, and move at will. However it can be worth it for the extreme durability increase. Probably better used for defensive purposes or as things to soak up shooting, rather than chasing down targets.

Step 1: Take Decurion and max allowed wraiths in Harvests
Step 2: Get drunk.
Step 3: Deploy them all to the line.
Step 4: Push them across the table.
Step 5: Profit?

>>50800823
I used the Shockmaster in my campaign as a gag just because one of my players has a WWE-tier backstory.

The reveal was worth it.

It's a terrible idea.

My Ventrue in a VtR game had Patrick Bateman as a don't-know-the-word-but-embraced-by-the-same-person-guy NPC. It went terrible. I felt stupid whenever the GM used him.

Whenever I do "fight arena" plot-arcs in my games, I always make sure to base at least one of the opponents on a real-world wrestler or MMA fighter. It usually works OK as long as they're just a minor NPC and not the campaign's BBEG or anything.

Don't Start with a basic adventure possibly something pre-writhen. Don't enforce role play unless they are comfortable with it. Invite a veteran that is cool with surrendering the spotlight so that the new guys get the idea but they have a time to shine themselves. Don't and this is A VERY big don't take them if the encounter goes south fudge it.

Matt Colville has made some useful videos just about that.

Basically, his advice is that before you even consider playing a real campaign you should play a short one night "tutorial" game, with them playing with premade characters.
