"It says here your enchanted plate armor is a family heirloom. Are you trying to insult me? This is like pissing in my face while I sleep. Do you really think so low of me? I will kill you for this."

Rogue. The word "thief" implies thieving.

>>49568963
Unfortunately the default assumption for a rogue is a thief in every PHB.

Not a spy or an assassin or some kind of military scout, the basic idea is 'thief by a different name'.

>>49569018
We must have read very different PHBs then, especially when it comes to 5e.

>>49568946
Obviously there needs to be party of adventurers to find the long lost Blade of Eternal Endings, but where could such thing be.

With name like that it would be likely that it's found at the end of some quest or journey, but witch one, and what is a eternal end.
A journey that seems to be over but keeps going, eternally.
But if the ending is eternal there is no way to reach the end of the journey and get the blade.
Such a conundrum for the group to solve.

>>49569172
Golarion is actually not that generic, surprisingly.

>>49568351

Mostly backlash from an excessive amount of "the chosen brotherhood"/"but thou must" group-of-destiny-big-artifact-evil-wizard bullshit. Now instead of destroy the One Ring it's be part of a mercenary company.

Except the rules grew out of a Destined to Destroy the One Ring era so things get awkward and every country church has a small-town cleric who can put Gandalf to shame in the powers department.

5e's stat crunch helped this a good bit but it's still a setting that's a far cry from Middle Earth much less Middle Ages on everything but Aesthetic.

>>49568351

I mean I guess? I've never really run into this problem before. Neither as a player or as a GM running a game for people who expected an "adventurers guild".

As far as why adventurers are so common in official settings, it's because those settings are written by mediocre fantasy writers who are just using the setting as vehicles for their own OCs.

>>49568351
Because then the PCs don't have to think too hard about the backstory of their characters. Lots of players just want to jump in the game and think about backstory later. Also having PC-level characters around opens up resources the party can use even without having the class in their roster.

If you use DnD 5e, will they die?

>>49568043
Risus?
it's the most simple system I know (so simple my friends and I abandonned it after one session - what can I say, we're used to slightly more complex stuff)

>>49568052
It will be extremely confusing -

Theoretically. Who it is depends on who you ask. Eye of the beholder and all that.

She's certainly not a human.

>>49567359
No because of cultural standards being different

And, since it's a fantasy world I've created out of whole cloth, people aren't overly concerned about female beauty because who really cares

No one likes adventuring shopping?

every time the opportunity for shopping happened in our games, the players never managed to get a shopping list through. Just blank stares and general "i dont know what to do" attitudes

why, /tg/?

Are you adventuring or settling in Oregon?

Pack light. Think a medieval Bug-Out-Bag. Pounds and ounces man, pounds and ounces

Apparently the Fat Packs, excuse me, "Bundles" now come with a cutesy box that is a bit too small to effectively store cards in there.

Also, the top ten cards according to Wizards. It seems like they tried to make an effort and admit it's mostly mythics and rares that are cool.

I find the deckbuilder toolkits to be much more effective at storage.

>playing DnD laughing and getting along
>somehow politics come up
>whole game halts as people discuss this shit

I just wanna play DnD...

>>49566035
Have you tried not playing DnD?

My personal red flags:

> any alignments except neutral and good aligned
> playing a system with alignment in general
> playing kender, dragonborn, tieflings, or any other edgelord race including drow
> female characters played by males
> female players in most instances
> DM's GF / BF / significant other
> anyone with a dead sibling
> people with smaller than average dice
> people who roll their dice out of sight
> people who cheat
> minmaxers / rules lawyers
> GMs who think GM should always be god and never even questioned
> anyone who plays anything from Book of Nine Swords in a 3.5 campaign though that hasn't happened in years
> people who LARP
> people who play or have played World of Darkness.

I have some others but that is most of them.

So is it like an extra prize or does it replace what you would normally win? I've been considering MTGO because I play legacy and it's died at the local scene, is it a good idea or just stick to cockatrice?

They're not freebies.
They're replacing actual prize payouts

Total Autism that need literally everything spelled out in words to them and are unable to infer anything

>>49565261
It's good if you want to get banned for criticizing peoples' homebrew or if you want a forum where literal trolls get away scot free and people who are trying to help get banned instead because the mods are hilariously incompetent.

So no, it's total shit.

Never tried Giant in the Playground, but Myth-Weavers is a pretty good tabletop site.
