Just re-skin Gnomes, granting Draconic instead of Gnomish.

+2 int? That doesn't fit my image of kobolds at all.

Unearthed Arcana has a Kobold race if I remember correctly.

Digger, please. Dwarves are a bunch of insecure idiots that released monsters due to their own greed.

Is that really the only question you have? Why even make a thread then? Come on mate, if you want discussion, do a bit more to stimulate it.

Abandon the video game RP. It'll never satisfy that itch and it'll just end up with cringe filled experiences like female ogre characters giving birth to human level 1 accounts.

>>48856612
Okie dokie then.

How does /tg/ find the comparison with MMO based roleplaying to that around the table?

In my experience I've personally always found that most of the roleplayers I've seen online tend to be better than those around my table or in parlor LARPs however they're utterly outshined by large scale hard LARPs

If you mean the pintle mount on top it should be an autocannon.

That's a big gun

Has anyone ever published a plan view of the interior of a Baneblade?

>this much bait
Oh, I do so hope you are being ironic here. The last two give me that hope.

On topic though, I do love me some 4e. Lazylords are still the most fun.

I play AD&D or 5e

>>48865239
1e AD&D is your cure

Gnolls.

Did you even need to ask?

The bad kind

>>48853445
Objectively worse than the ones from the goodlands.

Google image search "scrap gun"

>>48853206

I've done it before but there aren't that many of them and most of the guns don't actually look scrappy enough.

>>48853072
What about some sort of ultra-sawed-off shotgun. Like, the barrel stops pretty much at the end of the shell. I always thought something like that would be cool and might give you something a bit closer to the wide spread pattern that movies and games like to pretend shotguns normally have.

>>48852962
4e is the only edition of d&d that won't give you permanent brain damage, but it's too technical for fresh faces. Try the 13th age. Or find something lighter. Rules tend to get in the way until people get used to them.

>>48852962
We advise you to tell us more about your prospective players.

D&D 4e is a good bet, IMO. The system is very simple and straightforward, power cards give players clear ways to interact with the world and combat encounters and it has some of the best GMing support of any RPG ever.

You'll want to track down CBloader, the fanpatch for the character builder program that updates the content and ensures it still works, it makes character generation and progression significantly easier.

There are a few small things to keep in mind, basic math fixes, certain bits of content to avoid and such, but overall it's a very smooth and easy to use game compared to a lot of RPG's.

I've yet to see it done particularly well at least. I don't think it really makes sense as a particularly large organization though. If some city has a task force that pays out for a certain thing, like a bounty on orc heads or clearing rooms in the nearby massive dungeon or something I think it's fine, but some sort of world spanning organization that gives you a license to have superpowers or whatever is really only suited to some games

I've grown away from these, I feel they cause the setting to lose some of the magic.

>>48851520
So it seems too ritualized to you?

>>48851184
>Did Orks ever stomp Eldars?
More than one Exodite World got stomped by a WAAAGH! Also Craftworld Iyanden got severely wrecked by one too.

>What are the biggest Ork military achievements?
The Armageddon campaigns and the Beast WAAAGH!, by far.

There was a short story, a few paragraphs in the Ork codex about how an Ork Warboss tricked some Tau and ambushed them, stole their guns went on a waaagh with all this stolen gear. Ork players smiled at this short story.

Tau players were incandescent with rage, how DARE the Orks win in a small bit of fluff in their own codex, no no no! They never forgot this bit of story telling, they were furious, dozens, hundreds of threads exclaimed it was bullshit, it would never happen, they demanded satisfaction.

So in the Tau codex, Commander 'pssh nothing personal' Farsight, massacres this Orks Waaagh, kills every single Greenskin, and personally keeps the ashes of this warboss he no doubt killed with his bare hands about his person.


So, a silly little jokey win the Orks had in their own codex as undone as Tau players were so mad their salt made GW undo a minor ork fluff victory.

>>48851530

Tau are big babies that can't handle the thought of their faction actually losing.

>>48851028
He must work backwards. Say he was to kill the current president, he would have to systematically erase everything he had done up to this point, then undo his election victories, and then change history so he is caught in a fatal car accident. History then "catches up".

Also, he cannot do something that would be "impossible". For instance, if he wrote that Osama Bin Laden won the electoral collage, it wouldn't do anything because he is ineligible as a president and would not get anywhere near enough votes.

Thus, he can only change things if such a change would be "reasonable" and if he has knowledge of the events that directly led to it.

Don't do time travel and don't do altering history.

If you really want to and not go into McGuffin/DESTINY then have some arbitrary thing like any changes only take place after sunset, or the bbeg needs the blood of someone who was of the time period she is changing.

>>48851111

I personally think that this just makes the power lame, and while that is one way of making it not overpowered that also means its a lot more work to find out cool and fun ways for the bbeg to use this power without requiring the players to have a lot of setting knowledge.

I am slightly worried you are my DM OP.

>>48850634
With a better system.

On a more serious note, if you don't know your players' preferences, you can't play to them.
Run it as is, ask your players to keep an open mind and have them provide feedback after the session. That's all you can do.

>>48850634
...did you just get someone to play the last slot for a pregen fighter to join the group yesterday?

You know Exalted didn't have any domain management rules either, right?

>Your only opposition comes from other Godbound.
And mega-undead, parasite gods, not-at-all mortal wizards, mortals possessed by divine artifacts, angels, and the things from beyond the void.

>because Godbound's setting is actually just Creation from Exalted.
That's just false.

>You'll just have to trust in your GM to fiat how things work in downtime.
GB has explicit rules for how you handle being a god in the downtime
