I literally got enough wealth to buy one full staffed personal boat, I got one level up before all my comrades, was named honorific something from that town and my deed became very widespread in the region. All because the GM was high as fuck. Never played with him again.

It's somewhat similar to an old executioner's sword. Functionally useless unless used on a helpless opponent with neck exposed.

Makes for a cool looking fantasy sword tho

>>54828823
If that was like two feet longer I'd want one.

>Half a year to make

I'm betting the Man at Arms guys could have made it in a weekend.

>>54827199
Why are you trying to play a futuristic sniper in a fantasy setting?

>>54827199
See if you can convince your DM to let your paladin make ranged smites. Then just go vengeance and your job is done.

>>54827199
Why are you adapting a sci-fi unit that uses guns into a fantasy system which in the edition you're trying to use I'm not sure even has guns yet?

>>54826974
On the other hand, Shelob being an ara ara woman puts a new spin on the part of the lord of the rings where she catches Frodo.

>>54826974
>implying she was not already a slutty gal in the first place

Them legs, man.

>>54826974
This is slutty to you? Are you Amish/Muslim? Both?

Nightshift stuff.

>(e.g. Not CCGs or LCGs)
You mother fuckers should get Arkham Horror the Card Game, STAT! Its one of the best experiences I've had with my SO.

Beyond that some of our favorate light games are
Star Realms, Odins Ravens 2ed Edition, Patchwork, Arboretum.

Bigger games we love Star Wars Rebellion, War of the Ring, Memoir 44 and Letters from Whitechapel.

Ah, another hive-player, at last.

Love letter is a cheap 2 player card game about competing to get a love letter to a princess.
Forbidden Island and forbidden desert are co-op games that can work with 2 players.
There's a shitload of chess variants, and games that only require chess/checkers stuff.
Netrunner.

>>54825085
>Star Realms
>Onitama
>Love Letter (a little better with 3 players)

>>54824889
They make great BBGGs
Big Bold Good Guys

You know, the kind an evil king send a a group of adventurers to tackle before he reaches into his castle and kills him

By the way you word it you make it sould like the wandering jew or the wild hunt or the king under the mountain IE an established folklore thing.

Elaborate because I cbf googling it.

>>54824994
the concept Moorcock used in his books, reincarnations/embodiments of the heroic figure, bound to tragedy and to fight against cosmic forces

You are the veteran crew of exploratory vessel Lewis & Clark. You have
been rerouted and tasked with a Distressed VIP Traveler recovery from
a supply depot in Z2R. Your objectives are one Dr Joss Wren and the
Live Specimen Containment Unit in his possession. Any other survivors
encountered are to be treated as contaminated and extremely dangerous.
Immediate cryostasis of all non-primary personnel is mandatory. The
hub is to be cleared of personnel and sterilized with a November-type
seismic survey charge withdrawn from L&C stocks [XAuthCodeX]. This is
a class-3 Premium Salvage contract and thus rated Triple Scale for
delivery of the Doctor alone and with an additional Triple Premium
bonus upon successful delivery of the primary objective [LSCU] - with
or without Doctor Wren. All details of this mission - including this
communication - are classified Privileged A7 according to the NDA
protocols in effect with all W-Y contract personnel. Radio silence is
to be observed while your vessel lies anywhere within 1 parsec of Z2R.
Good Luck.

>Corporation A develops an intentionally shitty product that abuses user privacy and sells their data, then puts it under lock and key expecting B to steal it as a Trojan horse
>Not only does B steal it, the customers love it and have no problems with the privacy ramifications

We talking RPG, wargame, Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader? We need deets

Ork Kommandos have to stop some biel tan eldar from deploying a weapon that will destroy the ork ecosystem on the planet before the eldar reclamation

>>54824699
Yeah, kinda hard to know what you're looking for otherwise

>>54823917
>How do you handle prophecy in your games?
I stab the prophet before he finishes speaking

It's difficult to take prophecies seriously when the players are of low moral quality, violent, and vicious.

>>54823917
I might be more vague and give the players a slight mechanical bonus.

e.g., "the stars are right for violence," might give a +1 to attacks for that session.

Anyone heard ANYTHING, at all, EVER !?

Plox senior geeks. I must have doggy-nymph. I...must, for reasons.

>>54821607
No one's going to use this, you autistic idiot.

>>54821929
Hello, redshirt.

>>54821607
/tg/ should use BB3D or Tabletop Simulator, and run a massive Frostgrave Campaign/Bracket Tournament.
