No because I don't live in the state of Buttfuckistan, USA.
At most I got chortles or weird looks growing up, now I get curious ones and on occasion interest expressed in playing a game.

>>55412238
Yeah, but I grew up in central Buttfuckistan.

No, I'm a fundie and we play GURPS

Naval battles suck without Triremes or Gunpowder.

>>55412205
I was going to put in cannons, yes.

Use the rules for aquatic combat /3d combat in the book of planes. Beyond that, I think there were rules about combat on shipdecks and some ship stats but I fail to remember where I read those. Maybe in a dragon mag?

No, but the allure of victory-by-maths and the common trend of making magic users and other "nerd" archetypes OP attracts evil men.

forgive me if my story time sucks but I'm not a funny writer or probably that good a GM, but I wanna tell you about this /tg/

Pretty run of the mill mission to drop pod down, meet up with an Inquisitor fighting Nids in need of rescue, and shoot their way out. They landed in the planet capital right in a shrine to the Emperor. Their destination was the the Palace where the Inquisitor was holed up waiting for extraction, pretty much a straight shot except for the giant kaiju Tyranid tearing up the city. After securing the Shrine, the players began to move out except for the Black Templar who insisted on stopping to pray. When asked why, Wilhelm replied, "I am praying for Mercy."

"Why Templar, are you afraid?" Cadmus sneered as he let loose his Raven to guide the way.

"I pray for God-Emperor to have mercy upon the Xeno scum, for I shall not." Pretty good one liner and they were off not long after. As they moved out the Dark Angel and Blood Angel bickered over the way to go and I learned the Blood Angel was in fact still a fucking scout. Straight up nineteen years old scout in carapace armor with a sniper rifle. After pausing to talk with the player because I honestly overlooked it, we decided Bellerophon had just completed his final implantation but just liked being a scout since he was an A grade scout sniper. Cadmus wanted to talk the mad ways which were basically highways attached to the high rise towers and were more or less clear since the invasion hit the capital. Bellerophon wanted to take the ground for cover and less likely to get sent screaming to the ground when 'the Xeno the size of the moon decides to use a high rise as a tooth pick to clean the guardsmen out of its teeth.' Age before wisdom, Marcus as leader decided that the Dark Angel was more likely to know about going fast to places where they could kill stuff good.

Marcus though out this part of the story was regaling the squad with various lessons from the codex because he believed that it would prepare them for inevitability of war. Logan after about the third chapter while they stopped to move another fucking car out of the way on the highway that was apparently evacuated mid rush hour told him exactly where he could put the Codex Astartes. Wilhelm chimed in in agreement about how the Codex likely didn't even include sections of the Tyranids considering how new the damn things were, which only Prompted Marcus to replied in depth about how the Codex knew ALL ABOUT the Tyranids now. In fact, he hoped to add new sections to the book based on what he learned during the Deahtwatch.

Right before Logan was about to remind him where he could once more put the codex, Cadmus thankfully interrupted by announcing, "The wind sleeps. The hunt awakens."

Bellerophon, still sore about not having his advice taken, looks from his position as rear guard and aims his rifle over the edge. For a moment the Blood Angel paused before looking deciding the scope was not helping actually. A momentary confusion took him as he realized what the hell he was looking at, and so did the rest of the squad. "The less than metaphorical jackass means that we've been spotted." Indeed they had, because on the other side of the high rise tower through the glass windows a magnificent yellow eye could be spotted staring at them.

"How the hell did that sneak up on us?" Marcus asked aloud.

"Must not have heard it over the sound of you not shutting up about your blasted codex," Wilhelm supplied the answer.

Doesn't look like there's much interest in this, so I'll make one more post and see if anyone is reading.

Uncountable tons of muscle and hate shaped by the heart of a mind so cruel it would drive man mad to understand, the kaiju began to lean against the building while my players cursed their utterly terrible Awarness rolls that were quite frankly all embarrassingly high. The kaiju itself was not dead on them; rather is was within several blocks but had begun to approach the players right as Cadmus noticed it and before long it was upon them. Seizing whatever initiative there was to be found, the Kill-Team began to make a run for it like it was Prometheus and just kept running down the highway as if that was a feasible option.

The Kaiju's sheer mass forced the high rise to lean dangerously before snapping under the bio-titans bulk. With it went the support for the highway which started to crumble with it, and so too did any attempt by Bellerophon from restraining his own smugness. Screams of I told you so could be heard as the time jumped from one crumbling chunk of high way to another just before they fell kilometers to the ground below. Still the kaiju pushed onwards until part of his titanic size was partially underneath the shattering highway and my players came upon a brilliant plan. "Jump!" Marcus announced just before a convenient explosion created a cool spectacle behind them, and propelled them onto the Kaiju's spined back.

I'd just tell him to shape up or ship out, and to stop being such an attention whore, but you like the guy and want his friendship.

My advice is let it pass. Treat him as what he is: a child with a new toy. Be firm, let him know that his actions are decreasing everybody elses' fun, but don't censure him too harshly and understand that his behavior will eventually wear off as he grows more experienced.

>>55410180
>but you like the guy and want his friendship.
Well to clarify he's been a good friend of mine for years. And yeah I suppose I'll have to give your suggestion a go. It's just that it's been 6 sessions at this point and this is the sort of stuff that I thought would naturally stop around the 2nd once he saw what the game was actually like.

>>55410791
Then you're going to have to put on your shrink hat and get to the bottom of WHY your friend is an attention whore. Resolve that issue and your problem will likely fade.

I always use music in my campaigns. I have a ton of soundtracks from movies, TV shows, and video games, and I like to sift through those to put together a few playlists for different types of scenes, themed to the tone of the campaign. Or at the very least, I find a particular track I can loop for a given segment.

If I can't find something in my existing library, I search around online.

>>55410378
That sounds really nice.
Do the players ever find it distracting/offputting?

>>55410543
Not him, but finding good combat music that isn't " EPIC FINAL BATTLE MIX FOR GAMERS," or something similar, is near impossible, no one seems to post simple fight music for encounters.

>This morning I got a phone call from him, that after speaking with A and the other employees, I'm 'harassing' her, and he's decided to ban me from the store. I tried to tell him they were lying to him but he hung up on me.
>I want to sue him for punishing me for something I didn't do. Is there a specific type of attorney that specializes in this? Does the fact that I'm black and the rest of them are white give me any grounds for a discrimination lawsuit?
You'd be able to hire a lawyer against them but it's really unlikely you'll be able to win anything. The management has the right to refuse entry and continuing to give flowers to someone who doesn't want then can be construed as harassment.

This isn't to say you don't have a case, but it is unlikely you'll succeed in it.

If you do succeed you'll be able to claim for losses suffered as a result of the banning from the store, which would be not money but being allowed back into the store. Meanwhile you would not recoup the lawyers fees which would reach into the thousands to tens of thousands of dollars.

If this is the Pendragon General, A) we should have them more often, and B) can somebody look this character creation outline over and see if it's a workable document to hand to my PCs? I'm not new to GMing in the slightest, but I *am* new to GMing Pendragon specifically. Veteran eyes would be helpful.

I'm about to start the Great Pendragon Campaign, I'm using the 5.1 rulebook (which is practically impossible to find in book form, btw), and I created the outline to help my players through the process. Everyone is still going to start with a Salisbury manor, and start with the skillset of a Cymric Knight.

Warning: it does include some house rules:
>there's some customization points to have limited control over dice rolls
>I've added back in variable Father Social Classes (from 4e) with some mechanical effects, but without controlling your starting Skill Points, which was totally broken in the older edition
>I'm adding back in some alternative lineages aside from Cymric (Roman and "Norse", which are really of Saxon lineage, but who don't fall under the Hate[Saxon] Passion; both are also from 4e), mostly because IMO the Roman lineage should never have been removed, and because one player is a new-to-RPGs guy who will really want to play "totally not Ragnar Lothbrok in Arthurian England".
>Attribute point-buy is increased from 60 to 65 points, or PCs can choose to roll 4d6 drop low
>Clarified that your family required both a Male and Female Characteristic, and tweaked the tables slightly. I do have one near-SJW at the table, so female knights are a - RARE - thing.

The reason for the house rules are because I feel that a ton of the interesting variability in PC creation was removed in the switch from 4e to 5e. Granted, I also feel that 4e had TOO much variability (all the different homelands and lineages), so I'm trying to strike a central balance point between the two.

Am I hitting the order of operations correctly, and/or am I missing anything really huge?
