It's the player's responsibility to know their own character. If the PC gets killed because the player forgot about an ability, that's on them entirely.

I'll usually tell them for the sake of keeping the game going.

I'm also the type of DM that will warn the PCs if they're about to do something stupid. They usually go ahead with it anyway and get killed, but at that point it's in their hands.

>>48016897
the right move it to let him die.
Most Dm would just have him bleed for days and recover over months and wow surprise he is not dead (recover done in 0.3 second of IRL time because random elipse)
That's why i only play with people i know. There is no consequences for any actions the player take otherwise.

You don't need to know all the rules by heart. Thats what the books are for. I know you think it will slow the game down but as long as you talk to them and stay engaged the pace won't drop off.

Have no fear dude as long as you make it fun and have some laughs (The whole point of the game) They won't mind it being a goblin hunt if you can make them laugh a little or let them guide the story a little bit.

>edition
D&D 5e is the most stream lined right now just start with that.

>Campaign
Have then be town guards and throw rowdy adventures at them and pridy much have D&D Cops Mid evil edition. Me and my buddys do that all the time when our DM can't show.

>>48015965
You need to exert dominance over the group, so at the beginning of the first session pick the biggest fattest neckbeard in the group and insult his waifu, his character and his dice, if he argues then punch the fucker in the face.

Once he's been put in place, get everyone to sit down for the character generation, then after 3 hours of crafting them, run a quick intro session where you kill them all off painfullfy and humiliatingly one by one. Be descriptive. Once they are all dead end the session.

Youve now demonstrated you are the DM and therefore in charge and just need to tell them to bring a new character next session with some back ups.

Dominance established.

Thank you both so much lol. Both of you guys have actually helped me a lot in terms of formulating the kind of campaign I should run at first

>>48015847
Depends on the setting

Cults like Wickerman shit where they plan to take over an entire village by convincing them that magic is not all that bad

>>48015847
Watch the movie The VVitch. It's a really fantastic horror/period drama film about a witch in 1630s new England.

Welcome back to the Red Throat Ghoul Quest!

This is the Red Throat Ghoul Quest where you play as a tribe of undead Ghouls as they live and grow in the tunnels and sewers under a metropolis thick with danger and pollution. There are many enemies that would love to do the tribe harm but the tribe does have friends to help it in it's times of need.

Previously the hurricane season begins, rains falling on Meldric and filling the rivers and sewers underground.

Talon and Grubbilech's family began their hunting of the Aboleth's Skum minions while Fang and the Unity investigated the Roach presence in the industrial sector. There the shadowmancer discovered aRoach warparty returning from a successful hunt carrying the remains of zombies and undead. Following their trail revealed the source, a hidden vault packed full of undead armored and armed waiting in darkness but now breached and destroyed by the insectoids.

Jaw paid a visit to the Mansion, bringing along Bone, Bug, and the Sporemancer to assess the grounds and see if they could discover anything of use. While exploring the mansion Jaw received a memory of her previous life before death. The mansion had belonged to her and her husband in life, nobles of Meldric.

Leader: Chieftain Jaw

Population: 15 Enlightened, 115 Human Ferals, 95 Hobgoblin Ferals, 11 Orc Ferals, 58 Goblin Ferals, 1 Troll Feral, 2 Ogre Ferals, 5 Radiant Ferals

Prisoners: 4 Ripper infected (3 humans, 1 hobgoblin)

Livestock: 46 Murkhounds, 20 Clackers, 25 Centipedes

Bases: Sepulcher (Home), Reservoir, Abandoned Mansion, Industrial Outpost (joint Fungal operation)

Guests: Sweetie

With Jaw away still at the mansion Fist and Tatters tend to the matters of the Tribe. For once the Unity reports little movement in the tunnels, the Skum seemingly scared off by the aggressive patrols of the Ghouls and Crocodilians. It's own spies into the Roaches burrows report that it was in fact a large nesting area for the insectoids and their enslaved minions. The slime reported seeing the undead remains gathered and stacked on top of a pile of even more rotten, likely once undead, flesh. Scurrying over the grisly foodpile was what alarmed the Unity, pale nymphs of the Roaches and grubs of umber hulks feasting on the offering.

Elsewhere in the tunnels Brute reports the small bunker that he and the Warrior fungal had been creating was nearing completion. At the news of the Roaches increased presence in the industrial tunnels further north of their outpost they'd begun focusing on setting traps and sealing tunnels to prevent any undue surprises.

>>48015630
Nice to see you running again Graves, when did Brute and the Warrior start building a bunker?

Dont sweat them being bored. Give them something to do and the game will be fun.
LotR is baseline, but the setting really matters less than the way the players interact with it.

>>48015280
I figure as much. We're a rambunctious bunch and chase our impulses so it's not hard to get a plot moving. And I have two acts written so far. I just want to wow them, y'know?

Bump 1/3

Anyone have a copy of the rules?

Game has been pretty much dead on arrival due to a combination of factors that lead to a lot of apathy towards it.

>>48017675
that's a shame, it's definitely nothing groundbreaking but the activation system and pins make it far more interactive than a lot of other games out there imo

I take detailed notes on everything. Never had it be a problem. What GM is against note taking?

That's up to your playgroup.

Assuming the real one is sitting there the whole time I can't imagine why not.

Bolas definitely has the worst art of the 5.

>how many zeroes Star Wars lore writers added just for kicks
Actually it was this one faggot named Curtis Saxton. His entire motivation being to win against Trekkies in dumb internet wank contests back in the days of usenet. His other greatest hits include the retardation of the "Endor holocaust" as it's sometimes called.
He's a retard, and a large chunk of us Star Wars fans kinda hate him and his retardedly huge numbers.

Yup

Fuck off middle gay coast

I actually bought a copy and still haven't played.

The game is based more on the book and movie with only accidental leakage from the games. As a matter of fact is far more infinity more lethality.

>>48013471
That's good, that's what I want. I LOVE the games, but the book and movie hold a special place in my heart as well.
