Daily reminder that every single "problem" with Dungeons and Dragons is actually caused by terrible roleplayers roleplaying terribly.
Learn to play, kids.

Oh, so the HP bloat, trap options, and imbalance are the fault of the players, not the developers being stupid and making poor choices. No, no, that sounds totally reasonable.

Sweet, thanks. But I don't think I can download it there. Waiting a while before playing is a bit cumbersome.
I recently got a soundboard app so I can play some SFX when appropriate. Now trying think of the right bits and collect them.
Any ideas? Like "eye of a tiger" for training montage, or "hello darkness my old friend" for when you fall to 0 pts. Can't think of many right on the spot.
Hey /tg/ I was wondering if you could help me find this MTG manga I read awhile back. It was about cute girls playing magic and the only thing I can really remember is the main girl was upset because she can't beat her sister with her Slivers deck.
Anyone know this? I started it but never finished and now I can't find it.

I found a k-on mtg manga but thats it.

Wizard's Soul - Koi no Seisen? I think it's a mtg knockoff/generic stand in, but I haven't started it yet, so I'm just guessing.
Description:
"Wizard's Soul" is a competitive trading card game famous the world over (based heavily on a certain real life game with the intials M, T, and G). Skilled players are popular, make a lot of money, and are even offered acceptance to prestigious universities.
Follow the story of Manaka as she struggles with love, money, and friendship in a world run by cards.
>>50371437
He specifically mentioned Slivers and a cute main girl so I doubt it's Wizard's Soul. There was only one tribal deck mentioned in WS and it was defeated in the next page.
What're your thoughts on the final version of the 40k FAQ?

Kinda bummed that I found out I couldn't use my drop pods halfway through painting them, though I'm glad they cleared a lot of ambiguous bullshit that Rule lawyers exploited.
Looks good, some of the retarded answers they gave on the draft are gone and most answers add something.
Job well done/10.

Nature Vs. Technology
Who is right? Who is wrong?
Post ideas or art on settings based on this idea
>>50369051
>>50369034
both are right, a lot of technology is derived from nature and so are the natural resources needed. technology should be used to be sheppards of nature not its master. technology vs nature is based on a false dichotomy, when both should be considered without one being detrimental to the other

Is necromancy inherently evil in your campaign? Have you had experiences with fellow PCs using necromancy, for good or for evil?

I've never felt right with 'inherently evil'
It should always be 'this is evil because X', not just 'this is evil'
>>50366206
No necromancy isn't inherently evil in my game, it is frowned upon but it's not illegal, undead commonly replace slavery in my campaigns.
>>50366077
I'll be DMing my first campaign on Sunday, anyone have any advice or anything? Should I use a premade campaign, or should I come up with my own? I'd like to eventually work it into a larger campaign once everyone in my group becomes a little more familiar with Pathfinder.
Also, is it possible to play without a mat/grid/whatever? I'm ordering one, but there's no way it's gonna get here by the time I play.

>What's your favorite card in modern?
Lightning Bolt.
>How do you feel about proxy cards? Have you ever used them in sanctioned events?
I've never gotten around to using them.
>Is there a deck you think is almost tier worthy, but just never took off?
Monoblack Aggro- if it only decent one drops.
>How did you get into modern?
Been playing since before Mirrodin, and took a long hiatus after Zendikar dropped the first time until Return to Ravnica. I had the back catalogue of cards, I hated how Standard and Extended rotated, and I didn't have the Duals for Legacy so why not Modern?
>How spiky (competitive) are you out of 10?
Hard to say- I feel very competitive, but I rarely bother driving to the store to play(what with the closest being over an hour away). The few events at Gencon I played I skipped out or left to go have fun/eat with my friends.
We've all run into them.
Always trying to redeem the chaotic evil female villain. Ignoring paladin's vows because the orc girl has big titties. Letting a kender NPC tag along because she's "cute".
How do we stop this menace once and for all?
Kick them out and never let them return. It's that fucking simple, needledick.
This thread is shit. Post knights.
>>50354832
Cute mimic girls.Guess where the teeth are.
How do I have NPCs think and act irrationally, and have them be persuaded by social maneuvering that is *not* grounded in logical arguments?
I run games wherein talking to NPCs and convincing them to do things is the single most important activity.
I am apparently *very* talented at introducing NPCs and portraying first impressions. Whomever I GM for tends to compliment me on how colorful, distinct, and memorable my NPCs are. Sometimes, they claim to be so engrossed with these NPCs that they want to spend a whole session simply talking to them, and I have accommodated such players at times.
The problem is that I am rather autistic, and thus I can manage only a superficial charm with these NPCs. Sooner or later (sometimes shortly after being introduced, sometimes after a few sessions), the charm wears off, and my players complain about my NPCs being same-y, all having the same thought processes despite different goals and outward demeanors, and being difficult to convince.
One common remark about my NPCs is that past the superficial charm, they are autistic robots like me. They always try to act and achieve goals as rationally as possible (even if their outward personality is "energetic and childlike"), and I only ever allow them to be swayed by arguments grounded in some form of logic.
In particular, I am apparently so autistic that I do not even realize that a player is trying to socially maneuver and trick or persuade an NPC, so I give the player no chance to successfully convince the NPC.
I do not claim to be a perfectly rational person myself, but it seems that I unwittingly make all of my NPCs as rational- and logical-minded as possible. So, how can I fix this? How do I make NPCs act in distinct fashions beyond superficial demeanors, and how do I make them more receptive to emotional arguments and other non-logos-based social maneuvering?
You should get A Red & Pleasant Land by Zak S. It's an OSR D&D setting that combines Alice in Wonderland with Dracula.
The advice on roleplaying NPC's is really good, and may be applicable to what you are trying to accomplish.
>>50350758
Does whatever system you're using not have any social mechanics? Lean on those and, well, there's basically nothing else to suggest other than trying to think from the perspective of the NPCs as you've presented them.
>>50350794
Could you please summarize what can be found in the NPC roleplaying section?
>>50350830
Social rolls exist, but the problem is that I unwittingly ever only seem to prompt for a roll given an argument grounded in logic, even if the logic is not perfectly sound.
I am apparently oblivious to other forms of social maneuvering, unless the player actively speaks up with, "I am trying to convince this NPC to do X. Do I need to roll?"

Topic: What are you planning on getting for black Friday?
>>50349513
OP here. I'm excited to start playing, but I'm unsure of whether I want to start with Arcanists or Neverborn. Fluff/model-wise, I like Kaeris and Rasputina from Arcanists, and Dreamer and Lynch from Neverborn.
I largely come from an MTG/TCG background, and I like playing highly synergistic, "engine-based" combo decks (Storm, Tron, Dredge, etc), and making my opponent have to scramble to try and interact with what I'm doing. I want to be proactive and have the gameplay come from having my opponent try and stop me from accomplishing my primary gameplan, but not "just" be aggressive in the "beat face" sense.
Does one of the Malifaux factions make sense in this context more than the others?
>>50349568
Look at Colette's playstyle.
>>50349584
She seems pretty sweet. All that teleportation and placement definitely fits in to how I'd like to play.
Would Arcanists be better than Neverborn for this kind of playstyle, then? Seeing what people could do with Lynch was one of the things that drew me to the game, but I could see switching over to a different faction.
I guess I'm looking for a tricky faction and not just individual tricky crews, so I have a good path forward beyond my starting box.
