Online. Roll20 has a bunch of games.

>>50042581
How many groups would be okay dealing with a complete newbie, though? I mean I've skimmed the sourcebooks and read stories so I KINDA know what's up, but I've never actually played. If it were me, I wouldn't want to play with newfags like I am now who would just slow the game down.

>>50042600
Some are okay with a complete newbie, some aren't.
If you're interested in 4e, I can recommend a game which is open to total newbies as long as you aren't an asshole and are willing to learn.

>>50042545
Betrayal is okay but gets old after awhile. The expansion hopefully fixes that.

>>50042778
I only really play it around Halloween, so I'm nowhere close to playing all of the scenarios. It's my favorite game to play with people who aren't really into tabletop games.

>>50042778
The scenarios are funny but the running around before is jarring and repetitive.

It has to be done in utter secrecy, because it is essentially ignoring player agency. All the player has to affect the world is their imagination and the rules, and if you go fucking up the rules on their behalf, they lose meaning. They're not concrete tools for them anymore.

Nah that's only if you're aiming to pull one over on the PCs or hide something. Usually the group is fine with little things to grease the wheels and move things along like forgoing all the stealth checks of hidden enemies and just eyeballing against a single investigation attempt, or ignoring what's technically a size category change due to shrinking two inches temporarily because derived statistics are a pain to do mid session.
I do have problems though with my players not accepting plot magic like impossible or permanent magical effects and locations that make the premise of a story. They question who made the illusory corridor and what specific spell was cast on it to make it work the way it does and what level the spell was cast at and why can't their wizard do that. This can be a bother, so I've taken to god level magic as my go to explanation.

>>50041949
No, you weren't That Guy at all. Some (usually newer) GMs always have problems with players doing things they did not prepared for at all. In the first campaign I played in I ended up doing something similar to you and the GM acted the exact same way. The second my monster friend was "off screen" he turned up dead.

If it was within the rules of what your character can do, you should've been allowed to do it. Telling him to wait in the forest would've been a good enough workaround for me. Letting your rogue one shot him without any sort of combat encounter is petty nonsense.

>>50041949
looks like a combination of a few things.
That GM: Is a cuck who thinks multi hour long combats are fun, and is actually anti-fun by the looks of it.
That Party: Opinionated and cancerous understanding of ethics. Probably argues mechanics half the time if it doesn't favor them
That Guy: The rogue is worst one of all. Probably Tres this shit all the time.

Cast speak with dead.

Make it an island.

>>50041717
Well, that -would- solve the problem of why the monsters havent spread yet.

>>50041819

also because island of dr. moreau is a thing, hence the image. have fun getting called out for that.

In all seriousness, GW has done plenty of good stuff recently, I'm pretty optimist with their future. All we need now is a good overhaul of the 40k rules and it'd be fine honestly.

>>50041577
Wouldn't the simplest, yet most evil thing, be to have only currently in-production miniatures be Official Citadel Miniatures?

>>50041620
It's the perfect cover, they're setting us up for the final blow.

It's brilliant really

Very fun for our leopard-seal loving druid.

I'd get rid of the stupid str/dex/etc that d&d taught us and move on to the clearly superior S.P.E.C.I.A.L. scheme.

>>50040822
Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence and Health look fine to me.
Still wondering about separating perception and will from intelligence for good, though.

change strength to Muscle Fibers
change dexterity to Cartilage Power
change constitution to Organ and Skeletal Integrity
change intelligence to Brain Wattage
change wisdom to Brain Wattage (2)
change charisma to Face Level

>>50039671
I would use a normal goddamn shoe because I'm not a disgusting barbarian.

On a more agreeable note, I'd probably go in for the Japanese separated-toe design. There's no reason you'd need each individual toe separated - human feet don't "grip" with them. Have the big toe separate and the rest together.

There isn't a good way to do it. In fact, it's a very serious engineering problem with no clear answer.

>>50039671
>human feet don't "grip" with them
That's only true for westerners with stubby toes, and who wear sports shoes everywhere.
Years of martial arts training have taught me that you actually DO grip with your toes.
Even when you're wearing boots, because your feet aren't clamped down tight inside them.

>>50039671
The wearer's feet would be contained in a regular shoe-shaped bit, but the 'feet' of the suit would have splayed toes for more grip, more akin to a gecko than a human, and you can have anchoring spikes in the toes.

Thirty six flavors of titty!

Nobody in WoW has good tiddies

>>50039855
Sylvanas has amazing tits, and only anime autists used to torso sized shit disagree

>>50038204
Despises ANY kind of corruption, ANY disruption of people's lives, ANY ruination of innocence, ANY destruction of how things are.

You'd basically be playing an edgier version of Snufkin

>>50038204
>A witch had cursed the village, causing Triple curse - Vampirism/Lycantropism/Turning undead - to grasp the villagers.
All at once? That's a bit overkill, isn't it?

>>50038204

Nice way of getting the 3 stereotypes in one package anon.

Sadly that marks you as a edgy tryhard who is too lazy to make up background, so please.

Try harder.

>>50038114
In theory it's a cool concept, in practice it just drags out every single action both in and out of combat.

>>50038114

It's an interesting concept, but you end up having Stunting be mandatory. For instance, in Exalted, you are at a massive disadvantage if you DON'T stunt: You can't parry weapons with your bare hands if you're not stunting, for example. You also don't recover motes, the game's MP.

This means, in practice, you stunt for EVERYTHING. Everything, to get two more dice.

>>50038177
So it's a mechanic that encourages you to use a lot of cool, creative descriptions in a game meant to simulate stories with a lot of cool, creative action?

Yup, that's a serious disadvantage of the system if I've ever seen one.

Depends on the colors you want to paint it. Holy fuck what a dumb unspecific question.

>>50037381
Ok, sorry. Im thinking about painting him mostly red, with brass armor and wings.
