Or races that look like children
Got a few mates keen for playing a tabletop RPG. None of us have played before, I volunteered to DM, they want a trad fantasy setting, what are some sensible options for rules?
Palladium fantasy.
Great list of varied spells
Great story
Great world

All your classic classes
Magic gear galore
Huge dense world
Active defense system

D&D 4e is a good pick up game for beginner DMs.
Hey pals
I'm relatively new to tabletop gaming (like a year or two of experience at most) and I wanted to ask a few questions so that I get the most out of my experiences without going broke.
So I've played MTG and D&D 5e pretty thoroughly, and I understand most of the general patterns and strategies to playing either game. I learned both fairly fast and I can actually play both with decent skill. I've even DM'd a short D&D adventure before.
40k caught my interest but looking at these gigantic collections of autistic plastic figures that cost shitloads of money immediately lost me. I think the lore is cool as fuck but I don't want to sell my soul to play with miniatures.
So, as an experimenting game player, what should I do to expand my game variety beyond d&d 5e and MTG? Anything from different role playing systems to board games is in the realm of possibility. 40k universe stuff would be cool too.

Check out 1d4chan, they have an easily digestible summary of most tabletop games.
>>50557538
Would you personally recommend anything?
>>50557960
If you do like 40k, you can always check out Dark Heresy, Rocue Trader and the like
Overall really good games even if I'm not a fan of percentile system and it sometimes feels mechanically bloated
If you want to play a simile of wh40k wargame and don't give a shit about minis, check out Toymallet40cents

I'm torn between Black Legion, Alpha Legion, Emp's Children and Night Lords.
Are Alpha Legion forbidden from taking Marks?
First for always trying to improve
>>50556812
Yes, by apparently they get to respawn cultists on a 4+ when the unit is destroyed + more special rules.
Would you look at that. I mean it's resin, but still. When was the last release of a model for SoB?
Bump
>>50556670
Resin. Haven't we suffer enough? Are you not entertain?
>>50559127
Maybe a cheap way to warm people up before the plastic release?
Since a mold for resin is easier to put out than a plastic model.
>>50556496
Its a start, the only resin GW does now is FW resin so it will be like the Space Marine special characters they've been doing lately.
>>50556563
>yfw that's just Finecast finally perfected
They probably said fuck this shit and just dump all the resin models on FW, just like they dumped specialist games on them.
I don't get what that awsl stuff means. Can I order this through my lgs or is it website direct only?
Anyone have the Strange Aeons book 1 PDF?
>>50556472
Oh god what is this?
Is this a Mythos adventure path in PF?
Do you punch out Cthulhu?
Someone fucking shoot me.
>>50559609
The plot seems to be "try to prevent Hastur from being summoned"
>>50556472
Try the PDF share thread, I think I've seen the first couple there.
>>50556472
Christ, and I just started running my Mythos Golarion gamein 5e
How's the flavor and what part of the world is it set in?

Reminder that this guy is supposed to be born in 34 days
Are synthetic humans people?
Can we put them in Soylent Green? Don't think so. Hence not people.
>>50556128
It really depends on the message the writer is trying to push with them, but generally yes. Computing on one substrate is no different than another if they come to the same conclusions.
>>50556128
>not knowing about the sci-fi time conundrum.
this guy had the best death scene in a movie that year. i really like it.
Pathfinder General /pfg/
Destruction Sphere Edition
Do you allow the guy going full SoP dip autism and twinking out Stone Blast to also take Holy Smite and Blood Havoc/Orc Bloodline Arcana?

If you want build advice make sure to say what 3pp you can use, if any.

Old Thread: >>50552071
It seems a bit soon for a new thread but I guess you guys have been posting more than usual lately so whatever.
Would YOU play a campaign where you're a group of low level Nexian wizards tasked with fighting Autism Fighter's terrorist organization?
>>50555217
> twinking out Stone Blast to also take Holy Smite and Blood Havoc/Orc Bloodline Arcana
How is taking Stone Blast "twinking"
Oh man an entire fucking creature group and common defensive ability shuts down my primary mode of operation completely, better not do anything about that.
So if war hammer 40k is based upon the sci-fi and fantasy literature from the '70s, '80s and '90s, like Dune and Starship Troopers, what would 40k look like if it had been based off of modern sci-fi and fantasy literature?
>>50554738
Far shittier.
Hell, modern 40k is already shittier in the modern day.
>>50554738
It would be called Eclipse Phase
>>50554738
It would be destiny but with FAR more lore put into its factions.
What would be some good design tips for races in universes that are not the result of divine or magical shit? that evolved like humans (probably closely related?) but feel free to discuss other fantasy race related stuff.
>>50552754
Not divine or magical, so… scientific?
That'd depend a lot on the world you had in mind. Though if they're natural, they're probably going to follow the same basic body plan of similar species (As an example: If most races have four limbs, they'll have four limbs).
You'll probably want to have them fill a niche that none of the other evolved / created races fill, and leaving them an obligate carnivore or herbivore will limit their population growth since they'll have to compete with everything else that eats such.
Depending on how advanced you intend them to be you might want them to be at least semi-aquatic or marine in nature. It's going to have some soft limits on technological advancement, especially if they aren't amphibious, but it'll limit competition over space and resources for a long while too.
>>50552826
what about races that follow similar niches (but slightly different) but different geographical areas.
>>50552905
This can work, but if everything evolved to fill the same niche it'll start straining suspension of disbelief if you have more than 2-3 cropping up naturally. Especially if they're in relatively close proximity (a lot of species, sapient or otherwise, are prone to wandering due to various environmental or selective pressures).
And as said before: There's going to be some limitations if any of the species are obligate carnivores / herbivores. Herbivores slightly less so since often times they'll adapt to eat specific things that other species don't, but only just.

Anyone have that one unfinished CYOA with the doll soldiers in it? I can't quite remember what it was called.
I've been on a flight from costa rica for most of the day so i couldn't write this, but I'm finally home and I can tell you all what I would do with Omnipotence.
First is go about my regular life for the most part. Maybe enact some changes like retroactively destroying cancer and modifying the quran, but other than that I don't give a shit and people can solve it for themselves.
More importantly I'd use my powers to fuck with people and create a personal magical realm of fetishes.
I'd go around tapping men on the shoulders and ordering them to turn into big titty sluts for the pleasure of watching the transformation. I'd go to a college lecture and order the female students to forget everything they learned after fifth grade and lose all their ambition to do anything but spread their legs get married and pump out a thousand kids. I'd go to the prostitute on the street corner and fill her mind with the knowledge of a medical program. I'd find nigger gangs and remind them kindly that they're actually japanese highschool girls on their way to school. I'd go to an old folks home and shift reality so that it becomes a brothel and everyone inside is a twenty something slut witth a love of dicks. I'd go to a school, shapeshift into a student and then go class by class enacting all sorts of fucked up fetishes on the students. Quiet demure girls suddenly sprouting a nasty cock between their legs and highschool studs reduced to sissy boys with a love of cock in their ass. Upstanding teachers suddenly realizing that they love nothing more than fucking their students and students on the verge of graduating suddenly remembering they're actually ten years old. Turn the smart girl into a deliquent who never reads and the popular girl into a nerd with giant tits. Then there's the racial transformations, I'd turn proper white girls into foul mouthed nigresses and vice versa.
I'd fuck up reality so bad there won't be a reset button large enough to undo my magical realm.
Update soon
I prepared 17 encounters for a party of 3 sailing across the sea. Dubs decides the last three.

A merman gets aboard the ship and starts masturbating. If you walk up to him he looks you dead in the eyes and jacks it harder.
>>50552641
Rerolling this.
Sailors grab a young dragon turtle while net fishing.
Either they're low level and need to get it out of the pantry, or need to calm down, convince, or drive off the mama turtle before she overturns the ship.
Alchemist onboard creates a small fire elemental when trying to make alchemist's fire with impure ingredients.
The party encounters a floating town, living on connected boats and rafts. It's a free trade city outside the law, and they're sent to barter for materials to repair the ship after it was damaged in a storm.
The party gets told they're off course by a talking fish. He asks for bread as thanks.
Really being held at tooth-point by a number of talking sharks, and directed the boat to a shoal of rocks.
