There are literally 15 threads about this crap already.

What?

>>48056291
I you hate fun, and it sounds like you do, yes you should be worried.

You should also probably lock for a different hobby since you may or may not be a little bitch.

>>48056291
Not really. Kids can be used for plot!

>the DM is making something stand out

No matter what it is, you players should assume it's gonna fuck them over. This isn't a case of Tha DM, it's just normal DM dickery.

You are looking for deckboxes.
There are a lot of manufacturers for these, but for your needs, ultra-cheapo thin plastic boxes from Ultra Pro will probably suffice.

I also reccomend to put cards you don't need (from any TCG or anything the fits the sleeves) behind the paper into the sleeves, because it gives the cards more substance and makes them less flimsy.

>>48055835

That works for the backpacks, but for the guns I'd like to have multiple cards visible and have some way to track the ammunition.

I thought about getting some of those trading card wallets which go in folders and cutting them up so there were two or three pockets stuck together. That would work for stuff like scopes, but still doesn't give a good solution to tracking ammo.

I guess maybe I could glue the ammo track to decent card stock and paperclip it to the gun card. Or attach a sticker to the outside to write on? They do printable stickers don't they?

>>48055925
A pouch of beads perhaps?

Gonna need some details.

Against infantry: Lots of weapons that maximise spread and potential wounds. i.e. blast weaponry. You really only need AP 5 or 4 to pierce most of what they'll have.

Against tanks/motorized: shit that can pierce and not be very bunched up. Lascannon teams are pretty good for this as they're low point cost so it matters less if they blow a single one up.

When turning a corner squad sees a traitor legionnaire, who turns and pulls out a chainsword and charges. Just as the sword is about to hit, whole legionnaire turns into smoke and dissipates.

the staring woman and all she brings with her

Faces in mirrors.
Music in places.
Smells in armpits.

You don't let it fall into the hands of the players, or only let them get small snippets of it.

>>48054528

Why can't they get it too? That's a cop out answer.

>>48054439
Ritual Path Magic in GURPS is the closest i've seen. I modified it a bit and use it for CoC games now.

>>48053547
Sorry, no.
Unfortunately everything interesting that happened in Hogwarts revolves to some degree around Harry Potter or his past, so without it you're just at a weird magical boarding school.

read the archives of HP quests in suptg.

search for QM Gringott

Prepare for disappointment.

Considering it's GoT, I just assume that everyone dies, so I'm pretty prepared.

From what I've seen so far, I really enjoy playing characters like that.

Davos is the best character and remains the best character.

>>48052531
Pretty sure he's BT

>>48052531
He's kind of a mix between LG and NG. He's a guy who's normally LG who is willing to work outside the law if that's what's required to fix things.

DD is NG, MM is LG

So, the setting we're rolling is on an Arkship.

Rolled 91, 11, 13, 87, 17, 9, 12, 39, 81, 79, 100, 62 = 601 (12d100)

Play it straight, a foreign oracle in these strange lands, who fled persecution. Talk with the GM about fighting inquisitors after you and gathering a cult.

>>48051761
Your GM is obviously a weeaboo mega-faggot. You only have one option here: play the opposite of a weeaboo.

Why is your character in not!europe? Why, because they think that the european culture is so cool and dreamy and much better than your own.
You go on and on about the bravery of noble knights, the honour of their code of chivalry, and the superiority of the Longsword over any other weapon.
Go on and on about how much you love Western food, and how sick and tired of rice and raw fish you are.
I mean, isn't it obvious to everyone how cool and superior this western culture is?

Also, you can use this as an excuse to have a western nickname that you use more than your regular name, which probably helps with you DM's shit naming restiriction.

Is it bad if I play an ifrit like a human with fire powers from a family known for having fire powers?

>>48051406
Nope. All came from the idea that wizards wore pointy hats. No particular reason given as to why.

>>48051406
None at all.

My guess is that it came from the fact that magic was often considered something of a scholarly pursuit, even a "science" of sorts, and since our culture likes to set up science and religion as a dichotomy, it seemed to historically-illiterate 20th century folks as though this scholarly magic must be entirely distinct from religion.

In reality, it was religious as all get out, with loads of shit to do with angels, demons, and sundry other spirits. Maybe not orthodox, but certainly religious.

>>48051406
The arcane/divine split was an arbitrary creation of OD&D.

>Okay. You sell thicker and live a normal life. If you want to participate in the adventure please use one of my premade characters since I know you would do something like this.
>I have plenty more if you run in the opposite direction of the plot as usual.

>>48050975

This is why Fate has compels and Trail of Cthulhu has Drives. Play better systems.

>>48051011 Better yet:
>OK. You sell the ticket and life a normal life. You are now playing the noble. Here's your character sheet.

Build a cheap janky shitty yet challenging threat of a deck.

I recommend haunting misery, it can win turn one but anyone with skill can actually beat it and it's a good trainer for a vintage-legacy speed decks.

Don't cast all your spells.

Really, that's it. Your opponent can't see what's in your hand, and all you have to do is play while holding onto some reserves. New players are pretty bad at counting cards in hand, and even if you end up with a big hand, there's a number of excuses you can use, like too high CMC, your cards are too situational, you're holding onto reserves, or you're missing a vital color.

Find some bulk rares/uncommons with synergy and build a durdly synergism deck. for example I built a deck with Secrets of the Dead/Burning Vengeance that looped Mystic Retrieval and Runic Repetition, took advantage of Gravecrawler and Infernal Plunge as a mana generating engine, and used Zombie Infestation to get the engine started with only one Gravecrawler and doubled as a wincon with more than one Secrets out and even let me cast my Mystic's at a discount with flashback. It's a sweet deck that's slow to get going and transparent but it's also fun and interesting to play with all the lines of play you can take.
