Dungeons don't always need to make sense. Towers of mad wizards need to be nonsensical and unpredictable.

The idea that everything needs to make sense and be 'realistic' is a modern view that does not apply to original D&D. D&D is not a physics simulator.

>>49915536
No one's arguing for physics simulation, but consistency in theming can have great results. A necromancer's tower has a different flavour than a diviner's tower or a conjurer's tower.

Also a hexcrawl seed question for the new thread:

Who - or what - is the merchant who's set up shop in this dungeon? What kind of dungeons does the merchant favour, what is for sale (and what is required in exchange) and where do they tend to set up shop? (ex. the entryway, near a water source, etc.)

It makes me feel excited


I could get to sort all those cards!

>>49944441
I see a Swords of Revealing Light and a dinosaur I recognize but can't name with like a 1400 ATK, so I think this is relatively early game stuff, back when the Blue Eyes was useful, and a 1900 ATK level 5 normal monster was considered reasonable.

Mostly it just makes me sad that Toons were never a viable option.

>>49944656
Toons are decent right now.

And about OP, that image is how i feel when someone uses lawnmower, you see a faggot with no extra deck and 60 cards, first tought must be "ha this faggot sucks" and then he drops his entire deck and makes you his bitch

It's not even really e6, but 7

>so you're admiting the mechanic is bad by removing it

no, you're just an illiterate ass and/or putting words in my mouth. nobody said anything like that. Only that the 3 devil tiger charms are more involved than "oh, I'll just learn these three charms now" I'm not even sure where you got the rest of that


>You don't need to be Essence 6 to learn custom Charms or take Heretical ones.

>A GSP could do this from chargen if they wanted to.

wait...what ARE you talking about? because it isn't what I thought apparently. you may have gotten yourself confused halfway through typing?

>>49909354
or maybe I got confused. were the three charms you're talking about "teach swlihn how to bondage sex"? is that what you were having a problem with? :P

I have yet to try a small-scale game. My group keeps looking for the next big campaign to tackle so I never really thought to go simple.

Question of my own: Are there any specific dice that are unanimously praised? I hear argument from time to time between some number of d6s and d20, but I'm wondering if there's ever a purely best dice set to use for a game or if it just comes down to the specific actions the game is featuring,

>>49867203
Its really subjective, comes down to what you think fits the math better. Some things are obvious; D6 is king for large amounts of dice per roll, while D20 should be limited to max 2 per roll. We are seeing more use out of the less common dice now, though. Fantasy Flight has started selling D10 packs for their games and regularly uses D8's, for example.

So, should character stats lower difficulty or add to the roll?

Right now I'm doing the former: the GM subtracts the relevant stat from the difficulty level. I did this so that it's faster for the player and they instantly know if the number on the die is good as soon as they see it. Also because this isn't a GM rolling system, it gives the GM a little bit more to do.

Dwarves can have 3 strength, and 4e was a work of art.

>When Volo's Guide to Monsters comes out, are you going to do your part and take pictures of all of the new races for us?

Nope, I'm going to sit here and bitch at people for not posting mega links because I'm too cheap to pay for it

Anons? I got a problem that maybe y'all can help me with. Couple of problems, actually.

Firstly, I just saw a thread on a homebrewed 5e Samurai class and... well, is there something wrong with me that my first thought about it was "what's the point"? I mean, maybe I'm wrong, but to me, it seems like the Samurai doesn't have anything you couldn't get if you just reflavored a Banneret or Battlemaster Fighter, or maybe an Oath of the Crown Paladin. At best I think you got a subclass for Monks in it, and that's only because I remember the Kensai fighter kit from Baldur's Gate II, and Monk's Iron Soul (weapon master) style and Soaring Blade (wuxia fighter) paragon path in 4e.

By the way, was Kensai actually an AD&D kit?

Second question; as someone who likes kobolds and wants to give them a place in his own setting, do you think Pathfinder's Kobold Bloodline for Sorcerers could be converted to work under the 5e Sorcerer subclass mechanics?

Link for reference: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/classes/core-classes/sorcerer/bloodlines/bloodlines-from-paizo/racial-bloodlines/kobold-bloodline-sorcerer-kobold

Finally, in a setting where humanity's official "hat", ala dwarves are toughs, elves are graceful, orcs are ferocious, etc, is "humans can breed with anything", does it make sense that human PCs could take a race-based Sorcerous Origin? Like, the aforementioned Kobold Bloodline Sorcerer - would human sorcerers with that Origin make sense in a world where they could actually have a kobold parent or ancestor?

>elf making a Strength check
go back to /tv/

>>49942278
It would've sparked a race war.

>>49942947
Also we wouldn't have had a story. Same reason the Eagles couldn't do shit.

Gay as in homosexual or that you don't like them?

The Jeskai Green deck will feature a couple card with pic related.

Proud history of military gays. Fuckin' Sparta man.

Unless you're fucking manly enough to passionately fuck the other guys in the regiment, how can you trust that they will have your back in the shield line?

I'd never trust my life to someone who hasn't seen my erect penis.

My suggestion is that you kill yourself.

Are these the new immortals?

If so I'm a little sad cuz I liked the simplicity of their "we just strapped more Gauss rifles together" technology.

No

Prized Amalgam is banned.
Cavern of Souls is banned.
Preordain is unbanned.
Stoneforge Mystic is unbanned,

Jace needs to stay banned, desu

>>49929629
No Mox Opal?

>>49929621
Modern should ban:
Ad Nauseam
Modern should unban:
Bloodbraid Elf

Honestly modern can handle Bloodbraid elf. The removal and counter suites can handle the 2-for-1 that Bloodbraid Elf delivers.

>>49923215
You mean a genetic "What is the lines between AI and Humanity" setting that was boring as fuck?

>>49923287
Also one where the AI is being tested in the least safe way possible short of hooking it directly into the internet.

I liked the movie but trying to make a game entirely about "does the robot love me?" sounds boring and navel gazey as fuck.

Is that a cyberpunk beholder?

Alright, you're gonna have to define nearly infinite strength for us here. Specifically, because you're either infinite or you're not, and whether or not it's infinite really answers the question of whether or not the world is destroyed as soon as he loses his temper and kicks or throws something.

>>49954821
Society collapses in a few weeks, same as every other scenario in which several hundred people are randomly given superpowers such as 'near infinite strength'. One of them punches the ground for shits and giggles and whoops there goes the eastern seaboard.

That's a nifty way of saying you died.

This is something I liked about Looper. Psykers are real, but all you can actually do with psychic powers is levitate a few grams of material at a time. The main character jokes that it's just an excuse to hit on girls in bars by floating coins around. and then we find out there's exactly one psyker who can actually get shit done with their TK.
