How do you deal with encumbrance /tg/? Track it diligently? Eyeball it? Don't' give fuck at all?
>>48201836
I like to track it. Nobody else I have played with seems to share my views. Fuck them.
>>48201836
I treat as a big deal for gritty systems or low level / non-magical campaigns.
Any setting or system that has bags of holding, though, I usually just toss a few out early on and not bother with it.
So it depends on the feel of the game, basically.
I ignore it unless it seems like one player has their character carrying far too much.
So since the advent of the Internet and it becoming a part of the everyday person's life, I've noticed that "mass games," or games where there are more than a handful of people, are common adaptations of tabletop RPG's.
A lot of them have things like world building techniques where there are wikis, and you can post your character, and so on.
However, there are no games I've seen that were *designed* for this purpose. That is, there are no games where this is just a fact of the game in its original text, as opposed to some kind of adaptation.
So to this end, can we have a thread for such games? Examples of what I'm going for might be roleplaying games designed as:
* MU*'s,
* Wiki world building exercises,
* "Augmented reality" stuff,
* etc
You mean games where a wiki is required?
That sounds unnecessary.
>>48203518
I mean games designed specifically for an Internet medium, like a wiki or a forum. Tabletop RPG's were designed for sitting around someone's kitchen table and rolling dice. All online variations of them are just that. Are there games that are intended to be played online?
You mean, PbP?
Would you play pic related /tg/? As a DM would you allow a character combo like this?
>>48200448
If its two different people playing the characters sure.
>>48200448
Pretty much every group I've ever played in I was an elf-raping, leg-chopping off son of a bitch
>>48200448
i had a DM let me play an orc and another guy play a gnome caster who sat on my back.

I guess that's why he's chaos?
>>48200050
This anon again. I'll concede that Cao Cao was the fucking master of JUST AS PLANNED but his whole philosophy was imposing order (albeit, HIS order) on a very chaotic and troubled nation.
Liu Bei, as I said, is the Lorgar. Just replace "muh gods" with "muh Han" and you get pretty much the same result. For all we know he may well have be a genuinely good man who wanted the best for the people but "the road to hell..." and all that. That being said he was just as conniving and shrewd when it suited him yet for some reason he gets a free pass.

Is it ever specified that Melkor is giant? I hate how the proportions are always so fucking stupid everytime someone draws this scene.
>>48200548
It's pretty clearly implied thathe's a big guy
So, I've been wanting to learn more about the White Scars, but I can't find much reading material on them. I know about Scars, but is there anything else out there that's obtainable? Short story, novel, or otherwise.
Index astartes was a white dwarf feature that focused on the history and background of a different chapter each month during the 90's (iirc?) - they were collected into books which you could buy through black library too (not sure if theyre still in print)
Someone will have a scan of the whitescars section somewhere.
>>48195858
The prequel and sequels to Scars. Brothers of the Storm, Brotherhood of the Moon, and Path of Heaven.
>>48195858
They are probably the least popular loyalist space marines. There's not much on them.

Tell me about the Vampires in your setting, /tg/.
>>48195583
Why was this comic so homo-erotic?
>>48195583
They're blood drinkers as you would expect, and weak to light.
The twist to them is very minor; a vampire cannot go to Heaven or Hell. Once you become one, you are denied the afterlife. Nothing awaits a vampire but oblivion.
>>48195583
Created througha virus from a previously incurable disease. It also has the nifty effect of giving you psychic powers like telekinesis and flight and regeneration!
Me and a group of friends have decided to play some D&D together, however, none of us is really experienced with the DM role. We'd like to know some of your tips and tricks to improve our experience.
>>48195519
here's a tip

Ayyyy
Use quick reference rules tables or at least bookmarks for core mechanics pages.
Nothing slows down play like having to check the index for some obscure rule.
Post an image that looks like a game or setting you'd like to run.
Others, suggest a game or setting for said images.

The Moonset diner has quieted down sense your make out session but you can still hear people talking about you and glancing at you out of the corner of their eye. Your secret is safe with the werewolves. But still...
"We have to be more careful anon. Seriously."
She's so beautiful when she's serious...
SAY/DO?
KISS HER AGAIN? AGREE THAT YOU NEED TO BE MORE CAREFUL?
>>48208432
Give her a smirk and say "we'll just have to do that somewhere more private next time."
PRAISE
Hey, Sibella Quest!
Nice.
>>48208432
So, in the previous thread, there was talk about how, since there's now been multiple dates as Sibella has defined them... lewd could potentially happen.
Is that the case?
>>48208496
I could go with that.
Is a replica that surpasses the original item a replica at all?
>>48200142
Yes.
>>48200142
Is a pristine replica Constitution of the United States worth more than the aged original?
No, it is a derivative work.
Ever had an honest-to-god furry at your table?
How did you deal with him?
Plenty.
They didn't cause any problems, so like any other player.
>>48182424
Please, I'm their fucking DM, they will never escape me.
I play with one for 4 years, not once he tried to play a anthro race or fuck an animal in game if that's what you are wondering. Pretty chill guy.
