Depends on which writer and his current power levels.

Movie version.

I don't watch capeshit.

There could be two of them

Has anyone ever used one of theses in their army? I have been thinking about it as it looks nice.

>>49982272
Its weapon is fucking terrible, and the sicaran ventor is better

>>49982126
Yeah, but only in the rare case where someone's found a baby Orc, and taken it back to civilization to be raised and taught non-Orc values.

They're treated like total shit however, and are infrequently lynched.
It's kinda Orcs fault the world's such a shitty place though.
They took the death of their God really, REALLY badly.

Depends a lot on the setting I'm working with. Usually, though, I got no problems with allowing it to happen. It really does depend a lot on what world I'm using - for example, I would have an easier time using this in Eberron, Malebolge (homebrew world that's loosely Eberron meets Fallout) or my nameless "humanity are children of the god/dess of sex" magical realm-tinted homebrew world than I would in, say, Greyhawk.

>Why?
Because I see no reason to really cling to Tolkien's "orcs are always chaotic evil" approach, and I figure that with how common xenophilia is in the real world, it'd be even stronger in a world where A: there are other intelligent species, and B: you can actually have voluntary sex and even families with them.

>Kids possible?
Yeah. D&D taps into the vein of real-world mythology where you have things like women having children by bears and dogs, and men impregnating dragons and foxes. I see no reason why, in such a world, interspecies breeding would be really such a problem, especially since humanity is often set up as "the ultimate hybridizer" in D&D anyway.

>Social problems?
Depends a lot on the setting. Too hard to really narrow this down, but in general it's along the lines of "that's weird" - people staring, whispering, gossiping, etc.

>Where do they form?
Most commonly in areas where humanoids and orcoids/goblinoids are living in peace. Fringe territories and borders between such regions, generally.

>How?
This is partially setting determined, but it generally results from either political arrangements, wealth and deviance, or, most commonly of all, amongst adventurers or frontiers-folk. In the last category, such individuals often both find grounds they can respect orcoids on, such as their loyalty to the tribe, their strength in battle, their courage, their survival skills, etc, and their own personalities are "orcy enough" to ensure mutual attraction.

>>49982126
I've got goblins and trolls, but not orcs.

In cases where non-marital affairs are relatively kosher (single men, wealthy men, widows, etc.) this extends to nonhumans. Though you're likely to get some ribbing at least or become a pariah at worst, you won't face legal repercussions.

Marriage is a bit of a different animal. The nobility can get away with or be compelled to put up with such a marriage. The peasantry doesn't get to hobnob with foriegners much as is. And the sterility issue usually limits these to second marriages or common law marriages.

Goblins and trolls have their own reason to typically reject such relationships. For instance, there are goblin kings born with the power to magically compel lesser goblins. These guys don't like foreigners (who are immune to compulsion) anywhere near them.

>>49982031
Add it as is and call it a Demonoid Ogre instead of Oni.

>>49982031
Don't make the rest of the setting into Weeabooland.

>water temple style dungeon inspired by zelda
>water temple
Don't do it unless you want your players to hate you on a deep and personal level.

>>49981637
>im trying to build a water temple style dungeon
In that case my advice would be to kill yourself for the betterment of mankind.

>>49981863
>>49981655
Ignore these faggots op, the water temple was boss. really good concept, required the player to pay attention, and actually figure shit out.

What is punctuation? What are periods?

If there was a point in that wall of text I didn't see it.

Nice rant bro, I honestly would like to pay this GM just to see it for myself. I had good ones throughout my life it seems
now it would make sense for you to learn punctuation

self bump

I love the thing and I love "who is the monster" style games, but you'd have to be pretty original to have it not end up like one of the ones that is already released.

I think keeping the game length on the short side, having a well defined goal that people will want to cooperate towards somewhat, but introducing secondary hidden goals for each player so there's always uncertainty, is the best path.

>>49984145
yea i think keeping it to less than a half hour keeps the action high and keeps it from dragging along.

what are some of these other ones? maybe i could use them to help.

>>49980799
Fuck off.

>>49980803
A promising start!

Make me :^)

Post psion.

There are LOTS of problems with this, assuming you're playing some kind of D&D.

Fall damage is capped at 20d6, not even close to enough to kill, or even bloody the Tarrasque.

The Tarrasque has an innate Spell Resistance of 36, (which applies to effect spells like Teleport), meaning the wizard has to roll 16 or higher on a d20 (d20+caster level), or cast the whole thing again next round.

In 5E, the Tarrasque is immune to slashing, piercing, & bludgeoning damage from nonmagical weapons, so even if you could work out where exactly it was going to fall, you'd need to somehow enchant a 25ft by 25ft area of ground, for it to even take 20d6 from the fall.

Otherwise, it just leaps out of the crater, dusts itself off, then goes to ravage the nearby locales as normal.

>>49980643

Wouldn't it be better to wait until the bowl hit space and put the Tarrasque into orbit as a new satellite? It may be strong, but it can't fucking overpower gravitational pull from a stellar body.

>>49980924
This has the Planet Hulk problem. You do that and somehow the tarry reappears a year later, with a bunch of alien followers and very pissed off.

>>49979567

LOL we're so daring, so funny! It's great to have our jokes procedurally generated! It's great to be so le edgy and contrarian! Hahaha political correctness gone BAD (geddit?) and only sjwcucks from gayistan would disagree ecksdeedeedeedeedee. Whoops, I almost said "niggers!", haha!

This is actually what I put on my blank card.

This one is pretty great.

>>49979391
It's not a good class for a new guy, but you can do it. Bard usually has good people skills and handles party negotiations. Armor and fighting skills are not always very good, stay near the rest of the party when you fight. Bard usually has some ability to improve the dice rolls of his teammates in a fight, ask the DM what that ability is, how it works, and when to use it. Good luck.

Use magic as a utility as opposed to DPS.
A sorcerer may cast fireball to deal tons of damage, as opposed to you who may cast eye-bite to decrease enemy damage.

You're musically based so inspire others with music or a song.
You are all about charisma so focus on that.

Remember to SAGE

Zombies are tired and trite

>>49979386

In much the same way staple items of various genres are , and yet they endure none the less.

>>49979371
I like zombie land zombies, who seem to run the gaumet of sprinter to shambler. I am of the firm belife that modern military tools would curbstomp most hoards. The problem would be civil unrest and riots, a break down of the social security in first world countries, while third would countries struggle to maintain quarantine procedures.

>>49979035
try fast talk the lich freeing his slaves

>>49979035
Easy. Since you know it's a lich, you have to find his phylactery (okay, this is actually the hard part, you may want to hire investigators or diviners), smash it to pieces then take your party and smite the lich into oblivion.

>>49979181
but they know he is a lich they don't want to kill him.

By fundamentally changing the laws of physics.

chopping it up into tiny pieces, never showing the whole thing at once, removing the oceans
that still wouldn't do it

>>49978198
That's about 1000 hexes by 1000 hexes for the map, and if you want to "accurately" do it the hexes get smaller in the mountains and bigger on flatlands.

It's a dumb idea but if you truly wish to be a retard do it on multiple maps that you could lay out on a big flat space.

Ah, moralism and political affinity, the killer of good Roleplay. I'm going to give you the benfit of the doubt Anon, and assume that you dropped your DM like a sack of potatoes.

>>49977121
I'm going to try and give you the benefit of the doubt that this isn't yet another fake story because REEEE liberals

But even then, playing a DEUS VULT gygaxian "murder first, redeem later" Paladin is also a dick way of playing so you're both pretty shit.

>>49977167
Unfortunately he's the only DM we've got, I've tried to DM a few times but our group follows his word.
