Haven't seen one of these in a while, and I've got system stuff I've wanted to talk about, so I trawled the archive to find the OP. I don't actually post in these often, so I'm not sure how successful they are.

So I recently got interested in D&D and other tabletop games of the sort, and a friend of mine who is passionate about it suggested we'd do a 1-on-1 session where he's the DM and I'm the player. He'd like to do an quasi-"avatar" journey/adventure where my character needs to travel about the world to learn how to master something that will make me a full-fledged "Avatar".

I'm on-board with this idea, but I feel like I'd want to stay clear of bending elements, so I come to you fa/tg/uys to see if you have any suggestions what my reincarnated avatar character could have for some sort of skills to learn and master as he travels about, similar to the 4 elements for Avatar Aang?

He didn't mention which edition or anything, and told me I could come up with something and we'll discuss it later to try and incorporate it. Any suggestions?

I just started a new dnd game, and i already know another PC is going to be a problem.

He made an evil necromancer character, and has done occult shit in game. It's almost as if he's screaming at everyone he's going to turn into a Lich. He's a Wizard, and I just found out that my character is infected with vampirism because they gave it to me because he was a vampire. He GM'd a couple of games before, but those were completely awful, he basically made us all powerless as he did whatever the fuck he wanted. Don't know why the current GM even let him in honestly, but I can tell he's going to be just as bad as a player as he was a GM. So my question is how do I go about killing this fucker?

Hello /tg/, I started playing tabletop games rather recently. I'm on about the end of my first week of VtM and I'm thinking about in-depth RP has to be.

I have 3 dots into computer and when I wanted to order illegal materials, I had to have a tl;dr description of how to use tor, get bitcoins, use alphabay, ect. And luckily, I kind of already had an idea and googling what I forget made it easy.

If my character wants to make napalm(not military-grade), pipebombs, poison(would that effect vampires? If getting drunk does, I'm sure that poisoning a mortal then blood-letting them might be useful), Timothy McVeigh truckbomb a vampire, ect.... Could I just say, "3 science, can I roll to see if I know how to google the knowledge to create ___ then buy said materials and make it?". Or something like that?

Should I download the Anarchist Cookbook so I can describe how to make rudimentary explosives in detail? Are there any recs on books to read to create explosives, disrupt communications, sabotage cars, ect in detail? I've already created stakes, stocked up on gasoline, ect ingame.

Or would it be better to go to a university, turn a chemistry professor into a ghoul, then order him to create explosives for you?

What are some creative ways to kill vampires and werewolves?

Thanks /tg/.

Hey /tg/,
I've come to you today for inspiration on how to start a conversion. I have in my possession a handsome gentlemen from the Prospero box named Ahriman who I am trying to convert to be a Sorcerer for my Night Lords.

Apart from the obvious head/shoulder pad swap, changing the staff, removing the epic popped collar and filling in the prosperan symbols, any ideas you can give me on where to go with this?

Any pictures of conversions using this Ahriman as a starting point would be much appreciated as well

/d&d/, I need to learn how to play bridge in time for Christmas. Can you drop some tips?

I ask because I'll be staying with some rich relatives and it is apparently holy law that everyone play. I've already been coached on napkin etiquette and the rest, but bridge stumps me.

Hey /tg/, question for a kingdom I'm fleshing out for a new setting. It's a pretty standard trope that settings with lots of magic tend to stagnate technologically, because magic-users and to a lesser extent nonhumans out-compete and strangle innovations, but what happens when you're the only kingdom around with magic? Suppose a Pagan king made his realm a safe haven for persecuted magic users and monster races fleeing the same expansionist empire he's fighting: How does this foresighted individual keep technology in his kingdom from halting due to arcane competition while his neighbors grow ever more advanced and eventually overwhelm his descendants?

One idea I had was to have a royal prize in gold, land, minor titles or what-have-you for people who develop mundane inventions that can compete with some service magic users offer in civilian life or on the battlefield, and a sort of medieval research grant program that head-hunts promising people and gives them access to workshops, libraries, and funding to see what useful things come from them. A kingdom that has wizards who can scry still benefits from being able to give all its commanders telescopes.

Thoughts?

>GIF related, how you gonna compete with that?

My party is pissed at me cause I killed an unconscious goblin.

The issue here is the party was hired to protect some meat from thieves, so our second job ever we stand around guarding some meat, suddenly goblins bust into the room in a position that just makes our positioning bad.

One of them gets a crit and puts one of two monks into making death saving throws, our magic missile wizard is bleeding out, cleric is injured.

Eventually the other monk just does well, the goblins are dead or running, we have two goblin left, one surrendered cause it couldn't really run. My character advises the party to take him alive and chain him up because we could use a source of information.

Then falsely believing the goblins retreated and were regrouping for a second assault my character kills one of the goblins making death saving rolls (quickly mind you, I wanted the threat removed, not to be some edgy torturer) and they ALL get pissed at me?

My question is holy shit really? It is a fucking goblin, and not some orc baby, this guy just tried to murder us.

DnD 5e and level 1 PCs if it matters.

Are there any other books like pic related? I'm going to be running a game where the players are all members of a thieves guild, and I'm looking for inspiration. Sort of an Appendix N of heists and criminal stories. Doesn't necessarily have to be fantasy.
