Meren was my first edh deck. Tons of fun but shit like bojuka bog and tormod's crypt will make you wanna off yourself right there at the table.

But if you like decks that are built around the commander and interact a lot with the graveyard you'll prolly like Meren. Also spore frog.

Might a GOOlock have a pact with a beholder? They're from the far realm, right?

In order to wrap around something properly, you NEED to crack it.
Apparently it doesn't even hurt, based off that last video.

What are some good lesser minions, greater minions, and pets for a cabal of Alhoon?

You don't need to invest much into Intelligence, at all, because all of Eldritch Knight's best spells don't rely on a modifier at all. You want things that buff you or increase your resilience, like Shield. Eldritch Knights are the most expressly "tank-y" of the Fighter archetypes because of that.

As for RP, it really depends on what you want to go for. There are a lot of different ways to go about it.

>>50641262
I see that's good advice. I managed to get decent stats all around so luckily I didn't have to sacrifice to get a high int or other necessary stats. I am definitely planning on using Shield, and down the like Fire Shield. Do you have any other recommendations for spells?

>>50641306
Find familiar and absorb elements are the staples.

Rolled 4, 9, 7, 6, 10, 4, 10, 4, 5, 1, 2, 7 = 69 (12d10)

fuggit

Rolled 9, 10, 6, 4, 9, 6, 1, 3, 4, 5, 1, 4 = 62 (12d10)

Why not

dam son, you're loaded with shit

players turn into murder hobos when they aren't having fun playing along. Instead of thinking "how can I punish or discourage murderhoboism" you should think "how can I make adventuring more appealing than muderhoboism?"

>>50640567
>>50640717
Or maybe they simply want to be murderhobos.
Then all you have to do is build the game around this. Make the game lethal, quick and fun, with violent action scenes and clear stakes.

I don't retain players that are Chaotic Random.

You guys think the Philosophy System and the other additions in the Advanced Rulebook like Scouts will make the game overall easier?

>is the stuff in the gamblers chest a stretch goal/is it random
>Not a stretch goal.
I find this funny because in the video Poots explicitly calls the Gambler's Chest a "stretch goal filled bonanza box".

This movie got so weird so quickly and kept get stranger.

Alright I'll take the bait just in case there are still faggots out there who agree with what you said

>implying enlightenment is worth anything
>still being autistically fascinated by Carl Sagan-tier pop culture space sensationalism
>trusting aliens to not fuck us over at some point

I'll take racist drunken uncles over untrustworthy space monsters trying to prevent us from having fun

>>50640281
That is a staple of every Pegg film. Those limey cunts across the pond are just proper odd when it comes to comedy. See: Everything Monty Python.

I would never require pre-generated characters unless I'm running a one-shot or a short campaign lasting a handful of sessions.

Pre-generated characters can be useful in getting newer players accustomed to roleplaying.

I don't get why a gm would require a character to be an NPC for a while before a player can actually play it.

>>50640226
I've only really seen pre-gens required for like convention one shots and the like where that's just there to help newbie and to get things running smoothly.

I'm fine with doing pre-gens but it's a different experience for me than playing my own charcter. A pre-gens feels like I'm just acting in a play or doing an improv instead of roleplaying like I'm used to. Sometimes it helps with how I perform because I'm not really having to develop the character properly mid game because I didn't have time to flesh them out. But other times, I feel forced into a role that I'm not very interested in and sort of just do it by the motions.

>>50640226
>have to be introduced as an NPC for a while
Why would this ever happen?

Cool. Now, make this thread again later, but without frogposting.

>>50640064
ok will do anon

Can't say I know the feel but if you're so normie, why not socialize with strangers? There are huge communities of people who play all sorts of tabletops pretty much everywhere, just ask around at your FLGS.

>>50639861
We need more specifics.

>>50639861
-Talk to the player about the mood you're trying to set. Say you respect what they want, but at the same time, it can't come at the detriment of other players' experiences. Tell us more about the behavior. Is it lol so randumb or to they try to make themselves the center of every scene?

-Ask yourself if it feels earned. Have there been hints of it throughout the campaign, or will it come out of nowhere?

-Try to have something for everyone if you can help it. It's the players part to act just as much as it is to react. Set up situations that they can interact with, let them make something for their characters to do, give them some agency.

>-Because of the plot I have in mind, how would you have the main antagonist(s) break the fourth wall in a major way without sounding incredibly cheesy/convoluted?

Play it 100% straight. They break the wall, that's it. Just throw it out there with no explanation as to how they're self aware.

Looking for some more advice on this one

Old thread >>50633344

> What makes your characters comfy and happy?
A good book, some nice cider, and song and music of a certain someone.

He's recovering at the party's demiplanar base, a village they rescued from the clutches of an orc invasion by shunting it into another dimension. Has it really been almost ten years since that day? He's dozing off in front of the fire with his head in his wife's lap, his six-year-old daughter snuggled tight against his side. He doesn't have to head back out for a few more days, at least. Thank the gods for small mercies.
