Holy shit, what a crazy faggot. I only play with friends, so I've definitely never even seen a fight break out over tabletop. I've seen people get tense and upset of MTG, but that isn't even close to assault. What city is your FLGS in?

P.S. 2 of my other friends also beat up that guy. He's ridiculously obnoxious and he tries to bully everyone even though he's pretty much made of dough.

Is that a bait reference?

"DUMBASS!" Left and right scream in unison as they smack him on the back of the neck, making his tongue fly out as he screams in pain

And there's my chance handed to me on a silver platter.

What do I do?
[] Shoot both of them 1d100
[] run off to get Captain Fal out of here
[] AKUMU AKUMU NO SUMMONS! 1d100
[]Glare at them furiously *devil's glare* 1d100
[] Draw their attention back to me by firing a shot in the air, and chew them out for being bastards
[]Lock shot one of them 1d100
[]Fire a barrage of fear bullets at them, swarming them in little beasties 1d100
[] write in

Also I'd like to talk a bit about Fresh Soul Reaper Quest at the end of this thread, if any one cares to, since I'm hype about it.

if you can't tell, it's a quest I'm going to be starting real soon, set in bleach.

Also I made two entirely different sets of starting choices based on if you choose to have been a normal high school girl or a wandering ronin when you were alive.

Each one giving different traits/ Talents/ abilities than the other choice, along with the normal stat ones.

My favorite traits is one from the highschool line.

Simply titled "THE HERO!" Which makes Kimi *the mc* act like a kamen rider and a total nerd, as well as give her access to unique abilities and talents

>does your world have any mechanical steampunk-esque cultures?
No.
>do your cultures have cuisine? if so, how do they reflect the common attributes/attitudes of the culture?
They do! That's one of the aspects of cultures I really like to focus on.
The northern people are stereotypically hardy but also quite religious. They use simple ingredients to make simple foods, but often go all out when it comes to celebratory or religious feasts.
>are there any artisan cultures in areas where it is geographically possible to pursue making a certain sort of product?
There are some. For example, the triocracy of Vhem's largest exports are oils and fruit wines. The region is warm and humid, with hilly terrain, where the fruits and nuts can be easily grown.

Just because GW prints Tau wank doesn't mean Taufags like the Tau wank, either. They feel it's a pleasant change of pace from the standard Space Marine wank, but at the end of the day it's still just wank.

Taufags like the fluff that paints Tau as /morally/ better, with the Empire being actually made of cooperation and progress and LGBT rainbows. At the end of the day, Phil Kelly supports secret Tau abduction squads, reeducation camps, mind control pheromones, and entire Imperial populations being consigned to asteroid slave labor for being human.

In otherwords, he tries to make Tau more grimdark and 40k, and most Taufags are Taufags because they don't actually like the rest of 40k.

Dogs are superior.

Race/Class is indicative of D&D cancer.

That being said, anyone in a class-based game who plays "DPS Classes" is fucking cancer.

>>49152562
Why is the dog eating the cat?

>>49152562

Cat person.

I usually play monstrous races, and I like playing classes that deal a lot of damage. I've recently been expanding into more utility, debuffs, and support though.

>Do you use Quantum Ogres in your games?

Yes.

>If so how did it work out?

Good.

>Do players even care?

They never know.

>Is it ever okay to force an encounter on players?

Yes.

>How about reskinning an encounter?

That's fine, though only once per campaign.

>How about Quantum Dungeons?

It's good. If I want a goblin cave then no matter which path in the forest they go down they will find a goblin cave.

I'm with this anon.
If you make a bunch of them, then you can pull out whatever one is useful for the current situation.

Stating out encounters on the fly can be annoying depending on the system.

>Go to the dorms, single SAS officer, a Major, slumped over against the wall. His pistol is on the other side of the room.
>Gun is loaded and chambered, but not fired.
>Grab his security card. Continue to explore.
>They enter the mess hall
>Scientists huddles in corner, all dead. Four SAS in middle of the room, clearly firing in all directions
>Questions abound
>"Room has one door, how could a force get in and surround them?"
>"Why isn't there any blood?"
>"How could they have caught the room by surprise like that?"
>Time to go to the lab.
>Major's card gets them in, they continue to move in an aggressive stack.
>In the labs, looks clear, two more bodies. They check the equipment
>No samples remain, pages have been torn out of the notebooks. They do find a book on aliens in folklore.
>Last room, far side of the lab, contamination tent over the bulkhead.
>It occurs to them finally, that it might be a chemical spill.
>Gas masks and respirators on.
>Walk through tent, gets sprayed with unidentified mist.
>Open the door, they see a single figure on the room.
>Describe a deatheater in the most mundane terms possible. Black trenchcoat, edgy boots, hood. The word "Goth" was thrown around.

>Everyone has looks of terror on their faces clearly this guy kills when you look at him!

>Demolistionist is about to show this guy what American freedom looks like
>Bulkhead is blown clean off its hinges, while they hear an inhuman scream that seems to be emanating from inside their skulls.
>JTF2 has had enough of this, pulls a grenade and motions to the medic to do the same, they both throw into the doorway.
>As soon as they blow, both AFSOC and JTF2 move to clear the lab. Shoot first, think later. Demolitionist is behind them
>Room is empty, no contact.
>Demolitionist is struck with blinding pain, so much so he can't even scream. Falls to his knees in silent agony.
>JTF2 notices, taps the medic, they move in to the room.
>Black figure pointing at Demolitionist, who is still writing in agony.
>No words this time, this guy is eating shotgun
>Rolls are made, crit tables are used, their new friend is blown six meters backwards by the shotgun, the wall is one meter away

>Splat
>Team grabs the only box in the room, what they figure this guy was after.
>Decide it's very much time to leave.
>Run back to the helipad, radio evac
>Medic gives sitrep, is immediately told to shut up and wait as soon as he mentions the box.
>Ended session with them waiting on the pad for their evac because it was late.

And that's generally how things have gone so far, I'm thinking of putting them in charge of their own little M-COM, and having them co-ordinate R&D, missions, equipment, ect while gathering intel on threats. Has anyone else run/played anything similar? I'd love any tips and ideas to make this better.

>What can be done to stop the premature death of these threads?

Oh gosh idk

>How do we encourage discussion without it feeling forced?

Ask questions, respond to people, have an opinion... not sure what else at the moment.

>Do you enjoy the op having questions to answer, or do you feel like it clogs the thread up with answers most people don't bother reading?

I think questions are good, the less typical ones are better.


Does anybody have an opinion on thunderstone? A buddy of mine is selling his thunderstone advanced starter set, towers of ruin, numerea, and a couple oyher expansions as a big bundle. And its decently price at 100 bucks. Whoch i think is good considering tor alone os 230 on amazon.

With pricing aside, os it a good game? Whats your opinion on it? Is there another game that you think "does it better" ?

What is going on with these threads ? /tg/ is typically a pretty slow board, and yet these threads keep dying even though there's a relatively steady flow of replies...


>>49098822

Thunderstone's pretty fun, feels a lot like a "dominion with a twist" though. I've tried Tom Vasel's\Richard Lanius' "epic" variant and it's pretty fun.

Though, I gotta warn you, a new edition is scheduled to happen soon, incorporating this variant in the base game...

>>49098177

>What can be done to stop the premature death of these threads?

You can start by not making the OP image an expression of your weeb interest. Pics can be important to attracting people just browsing. Nothing about that pic says board games unless people stop to read it, which I imagine many don't. Stop using off topic images, especially fetish fuel weeb images.

>we encourage discussion without it feeling forced?

Discussion is discussion. Make a statement about things that interest you. If those interests are relevant to someone else, good. Otherwise just occasionally plug topics that you like.

>Do you enjoy the op having questions to answer, or do you feel like it clogs the thread up with answers most people don't bother reading?

I don't like answering them because they're uninspired and almost copy pasted across every thread. It's reasonable to expect people do have a game night about once a month. Some more, a few less. People do all sorts of things that aren't board gaming. The point of all this is if every thread asks people last game played/last purchase, people aren't going to bother answering because it's the same question and people tend to hate repeating themselves.

Tldr questions are almost always trash. Ask people things that make them think.

Lion and bear could do it, the wolf will need the pack.

>>49152302
What would be your strategy? I'm thinking for the wolf, the key is the nighttime advantage. Since you're the only smart one it's up to you to bring down their shelter and extinguish the fires, but I think if you can pull that off quick enough your group can finish the job.

I don't know much about lions except that they're easily scared. I can imagine why the bear would have it easier though.

Why would I want to in the first place?

But just as he speaks up you can feel something dangerous approaching.

"Everyone is coming here!"
You exclaim the moment your Pesquisa picks up every Espada and every somewhat powerful arrancar coming this way.
