Wishing to play it, but waiting on more translated stuff. What are the good adventures for it?

And secondly, how hard would it be to adapt the one from previous editions to 5th edition?

>>50303716
I also only just started playing rather recently, so I can't really answer you that, sorry. But from what I heard from my GM I think playing older adventures with the new rule set shouldn't be a problem.

>>50303647
>with a focus more on social interaction and puzzle solving than on combat.
prove it.

It should be the best and most experienced roleplayer

In my campaigns, we always assign the edgiest guy, with the longest trenchcoat and the cringiest one-liners.

And basically anything goes, we homebrew everything so i can make it work mechanically.

nothing?

Do you want advice or do you just want ideas?

I guess give him a chance to sneak up on the witches, make it easier.

If he fails they rain fire, curses, golems and illusions down on him.

They're brilliant, actually. They put as little actual thought and design work into their products because they can still bank on nostalgia (and lately, brand loyalty) to make them money.

Why didn't he just get you to play a system that actually does that shit, like Burning Wheel?

>>50301005
Why the fuck didn't he just use a different system.

Are you sure?

Read the module first. All the way through, take notes and do what you need to do to make it easy to access for you. Bookmarks, stickies and hand written notes are all great. Even make character sheets for mosnters and npcs if the help you. Or even use apps (I just found fight club 5e and its great for me) to keep track of monster stats.

Talk to your players and find out what their goals for their characters are and try to incorporate them into the campaign.

Allow things to deviate off course from how the book says it should go. A good dm will find ways of making important things happen in ways that don't seem forced to players.

Always make sure that things are fun. Even difficult and disheartening can be morefun than mowing down badguys. The books are made to be used with the 8,10,12,13,14,15 stat set so if you let them roll you'll need to change a thing here or there.

>>50300974
Thanks, I didn't know about the stat set thing. I'll keep that in mind.

>>50301685
If you use a computer to DM like I do, I would suggest using this site: http://radai.github.io/dnd5tools/

It's is a compendium of items, monsters and spells, makes it very easy to lookup things quickly and prevents you from slowing things down to consult the core books

Overall, just go off the module when you can, improvise when you can't and since you're just starting off, try and improvise it back on course to the module.

why does bad stuff happen when you succeed?

>>50299622
Such is life in Moscow.

>>50299622
Because being a psyker is heresy! and you only what to succeed enough to do something. if you succeed too much bad things happen, because you lose control of your powers.
Also fuck psykers

pls help

First time among friends focus first and foremost on letting them know it's a group effort in having fun.

Don't worry as much about strict rule adherence, if you think you'll have to dive into the books longer than a minute or two just make up a DC or house rule.

>>50299244

Rexal. Just have fun. Go with it even if you feel a bit awkward. Don't worry, the others probably do too. Wait until people finish talking, don't interrupt. Try to leave room for other players to do things, don't hog the stage so to speak. Freshen up before you go. If you eat something messy have a way to clean your hands. And when all else fails just follow general rules of conduct for human interaction same as any other situation.

on top of that, ambient noise? or music, like behelit? which is a better idea

or back ground some youtube shit like i sunno
- orzic tentacles -

dungeons puzzles should be like magical fog thqat impeeds all vision except for i dunno the glow of some slik bug a few rooms back.

a hall way full of broken ladders and wooden carved people and animals

mushrooms and fungus and bugs...so the familiars and pets can eat them or stuff

do you have a caster ? make a room that has super echos... sound amplified as to concusion or paralyze movement until the caster cast silence on the partys steps...

make the players feel useful, make it class specific for each one.

What kind of church is it? Is this dungeon's sole purpose to hide this relic? Try to make it seems logical.

No, because Lovecraft ruined everything. It's easy to create Lovecraftian horror games because his creatures are obvious others, allowing a simplistic view of horror that doesn't depend on the psychological aspect of confronting something that seems like you, but is very definitely not at all like you.

The game you are looking for is called Nephilim. It is the same basic system as CoC (BRP/d100).

It uses historical occultism and secret societies to frame a war between the Nephilim, who are basically reincarnating demi-gods, and the occult conspiracies that control the world.

The magic system is very detailed and dependent on rituals, astrological conjunction, and KA, the spirit essence of powerful and otherworldy beings.

Originally published in French it has gone through several editions by way of Chaosium. I don't think it's currently in print but maybe Drivethru has it. I haven't seen any material in the troves lately.

It's a good game game, if a bit dense. I've only played one very short campaign but I had no real complaints. I'd run it if I didn't prefer UA's post-modern approach to modern occult. Nephilim works best run in different eras though so it has a pretty solid classical occult feel to it.

I'll try to dig up a pdf if there's interest.
