So I'm going to be playing DnD for the first time and I made my first Character, how'd I do?
Note: It's DnD 3.5e, and the DM wants us to use pathfinder feats with our characters.

Name: Bob Fast
Class: Swiftblade, variant
Race: Quickling
Alignment: Neutral Good
Stats
Strength: 12
Intellect: 12
Dexterity: 17
Wisdom: 12
Constitution: 8
Charisma: 16
HP: 4
Base Speed: 55 feet a turn
Feat: Run (Pathfinder feat which allows multiple bonuses, but at it's core let's me run 4-5 times base speed when running, meaning that when running I'd be going at about 275 feet a turn.)
Items: I don't know, but I rolled 210 gold, which is nice.

My goal was to make a character that was as fast as I could make it, how'd I do?
BTW, if some of the stats seem wrong, that's because the DM nerfed this character because it was a little OP if we just went by the books, which makes sense to me. If you want to know more about the character I'll tell you what I can. Pic related is a quickling, though obviously drawn as a monster rather than a PC.

Im making a homebrew d20 system to use for a campaign, and for the life of me I cannot think of an attribute that would increase the number of spells/day. I want it to be separate from INT used as the stat that increases effectiveness to avoid it being godstat for casters.

Suggestions?

I'm bored, /tg/. Let's design a god/church. First post ending in 4 decides the god's name. Second post ending in 4 decides the god's alignment. Third post ending in 4 decides the god's favored weapon. Fourth through seventh posts ending in four decide the god's associated domains/portfolio. Any post ending in double 4's spawn a schism where one of the previously decided aspects of the god is determined to be heretical.

Could you make a wargame using Gundam models? I think the articulation could make for some interesting firefights (shooting over walls, physically hiding behind cover etc.)

Where the fuck does the aesthetic come from anyway?
I mean, I can say "Witch Hunter" or "Vampire Hunter" to anyone and they will immediately know what I'm talking about; the puritan hat, the leather overcoat, the belts and buckles, crossbows and knives. It's so pervasive in popular culture, but why?

not! asians in traditional fantasy settings. give me examples lol. requirements: must be human.

so far i can think of khergites from mount and blade (not fantasy), easterlings from lotr movie and well thats all i know, and warhammer fantasy but from what i saw (i dont actually play it, just checked some lore here and there) there is not much information on those oriental people. akaviri people?? dont know tes lore much personally.

every other setting i know is just other races as asians, like fucking pandas in warcraft, and orc blademasters as stereotypical samurais.

Sup, /tg/?
I'd like to know which are your favourite/least favourite primarch model. Doesn't matter what is your favourite legion/primarch in the setting or on the tabletop, I'm talking about just the models themselves.

I find the models with restraint in the pose to be coolest, thats why Lorgar is my choice even tho hes one of my least favourite primarchs fluffwise.

Other favourites for me are Perturabo, Mortarion and Vulkan (lives).

Corax, Russ, Angron and Fulgrim are just too over the top with the motion (even though Angron is awesome because hes mowing down his own guys)

Most dissappointing are Guilliman (restraint yes, but still meh) and Horus (wtf is with that pose, seriously?)

Whats your take on the FW primarchs?

Due to character limits, this will be in 2 parts.

Okay, something happened last D&D session, and either me or the other guy was That Guy, or maybe we both were, but I want to know /tg/'s opinion on it.

Pic unrelated, excepting that my expression matched Ahhnuld's by the end of the session.

THE SUSPECTS
- A CG drow elf rogue (thief) (this is me)
- A TN wood elf warlock (the undying)/monk (way of shadow), emphasis on the monk half

To sum up: we had visited a magical tower in the game, the former home of a now long-lost wizard no one's seen or heard from in centuries. The tower is surrounded by a labyrinth that probably partially exists on its own demiplane or something that requires puzzle solving and/or blind luck to get through, but we had.

During the course of exploring the tower itself, my character came across a locked chest, and contained within it was a Magical Deed to the tower.

The Deed passes to a new owner if:
1) The current owner gifts it to a new owner; or
2) The current owner wills it to a new owner upon his/her/its/whatever death; or
3) If the current owner has neither gifted nor willed it to anyone and died, the first person to find the Deed claims it.

I was pretty jazzed about finding the Deed to the Tower because the Tower has a lot of cool stuff in it. I was planning on having it become our party's base of operations and had opening discussed such with the party, saying things like "this could be your library, Warlock" (different warlock from the one above) or "clear out these rooms and we've got some neat bedrooms", and the like. Failing that, I was open to selling the tower for X many gold pieces to someone (say, 50,000 gp for the sake of argument), and splitting the profit with the party, with me getting a plurality of the gold due to a "finder's fee" but otherwise it being a fair split (there's 4 of us total, so say 14K for me, 12K for the other three.).

Hey /tg/ I am going to be DMing a Chronicles of Darkness game early next year and have started putting some stuff together for it. The game takes place in the distant future on a "colony ship" heading to another planet when the players find themselves awoken from stasis for currently unknown reasons. I am trying to come up with some stats for futuristic weapons and gear and was wondering if there is any recommended books, sites, or resources I should check out.

Also Paranormal Scifi dump I guess.

A reminder to give into your innermost basic pleasures. Bottling them up and letting them boil over is unhealthy. Also, makes Slaanesh's job to corrupt much easier.

Help me find a system, /tg/.
I've played or familiar with D&D2-3, GURPS 4, (o/n)WoD-Exalted, Ars Magica 4-5. I want a universal system to run a modern or near future game centered on megacorps. Players would work for different departments in a corp and would compete with each other by capturing and/or destroying whole markets and third-world nations, starting proxy wars with kebabs and making transnational trade treaties to get those foreigners back into debt slavery and minimal wages. Obviously it would be based more on social and intellectual skills and less on murder-hoboing.
I need something like GURPS, but without GURPS loopholes.
Specifically, GURPS does shitty job on price fluctuations and doesn’t account for exchange rates.
GURPS has a problem with IQ (it’s too generic and helicoptered to differ mechanically between, let’s say, office workers with 3 and 6 years of work experience on similar positions; it doesn’t different well enough between biological wits and education; I don’t want to rescale all skills when IQ is raised; I also don’t want to stimulate power-gaming around a choice of raising IQ or skills – in this environment IQ would be a no-brainer).
Of course I can house rule these things myself. But I thought, maybe someone would suggest a system where these things are already okay to begin with.

Given that:
>A) The Warp acts as an afterlife and all souls of the dead go there;
>B) Belief shapens the Warp;
>C) There is a sanctioned Imperial splinter cult worshipping the (presumably) deceased Ciaphas Cain;
Can we assume that Commissar Cain, HERO OF THE IMPERIUM! is running around the Warp, whacking Daemons over the head with what one can only assume is pure snark given form?

'sup /tg/, noob DM here. While I have some experience running games, this is mostly reserved to a handfull of one-shots and one deliberately short BitD campaign. Now, I'm preparing to run 5e.

For the area I'm starting the players off in, I'm building an ecosystem/relationship map of all the relevant forces around, and how they relate to eachother (pic related). I intend for the players to start off as strangers to this land, coming to look for the Bandit King's hidden treasure.

Right now, the Forest has the most complex internal relations, compared to the Castle and the Barrows, and the relationships between different locales are fairly barebones. Anyone of you have interesting experiences or resources that could help in building such relationships? Specific feedback tips to what I already made?

Do other DMs drench their handouts in coffee 1 week before the sessions, to give them an old appearance?

Also share other fun little things DMs and players can do to give a game that little bit extra joy.
