>The next World War is conducted in a turn-based fashion

Advantages? Disadvantages?

Turn 1: nukes
there is no Turn 2

Unless the turns are really, really short, whoever goes first will win.

So micro-turns then? Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

I normally make roll20 token twice as large as they need to be to preserve quality while minimizing storage space.
>>
>>47981137
I also size my tokens to 90% the square so you can see the background and make small creatures smaller to give a distinct size difference.

How can you have a BBEG be Lawful Good, Neutral Good, or Lawful Neutral without making the Player Party a bunch of baby-eating rapists, murder hobos, mindless monsters, and edgelords? Is that possible at all, even if you take the "BE" out of BBEG?

I'll say it again, BBEG. Not duty or honor bound Captains or underlings just doing their job. Main antagonists.

They have conflicting interests to those of the players.

That's pretty much it.

Like a very powerful Paladin trying to bring law to a pirate haven. The players could be pirates, and are just trying to preserve their way of life. Or something.

Call it an antagonist instead of perpetuating the needless use of "BBEG"?

Hey, so I've been playing different stuff over the years, starting with D&D 3.5, and currently in 2 games and running one, although due to these being with university friends sessions can be rather sporadic sometimes.

Some friends from outside of uni want to try out roleplaying games, already wanting a first session next weekend, but the only systems i'm familiar with enough to feel secure running with them are either relatively rules- or lore-heavy, especially for newcomers only familiar with dice systems like monopoly houserules.

The systems i'm familiar enough with to be comfy running are D&D 3.5, 4th (which i wanna avoid), and 5th (which i'd rather avoid since i'm already running one game in that), L5R, Shadowrun, and Deathwatch

Although I think this might be a good opportunity to run something my main group is unlikely to due to lack of interest, like any other FFG rpg, any White Wolf, Paranoia, or a superhero rpg like M&M, even though i'm not too familiar with those systems

I'll probably be able to postpone for a week or two, but i don't lurk often enough on /tg/ to know any more rules-light systems i could use to introduce them to the role play ways.

Think it's probably good if you know that i prefer roleplaying to rollplaying, and will try to instill that sort of behavior in these guys.

If you want traditional fantasy there are a few options. Dungeon World isn't my favourite game, but its easy to teach and has very useful character sheet handouts for everyone. Its different to gm, but nothing too complicated. That being said, even mentioning it will probably derail your thread. Alternatively there's Beyond The Wall which has a similar focus on easy to use character sheets, but has a really well put together collaborative village/character/plot generation that's worth looking at just to steal for other games. Rules wise its simple OSR dnd, so there's a lot of material you can use. You know what, play Beyond The Wall. Its fucking cool.
>>
>>47979330
thanks, gonna check them out, have heard of dungeon world but never paid too much attention to it

btw, if anybody has links to pdfs for any games recommended, that would be super helpful, especially for the games that are unlikely to have a general on this board where i'd find some anyway, of course
>>
>>47979475

The OSR general has links to Beyond The Wall.

mfw I want to DM an ASOIAF game with a group of players where each will play someone in the house but I doubt I will be able to find players with the lore knowledge I want them to have.

It's 20-fucking-16. The Internet allows high-speed instant communication through your choice of text, voice, video, or any combination thereof. There are other people out there that want to play games, on sites dedicated to people who play or want to play games, with schedules that match up to yours. The only reason you don't have people to play with is stubbornness, laziness, or impatience.

Or maybe he wants to run face-to-face instead of through a computer? Most people prefer it.

Fellow archons, dracons, true-kin all. A toast to the crude mon-keigh in bulky armor, and all the work they have done to fill themselves with hubris and make themselves so stimulatingly resilient to torture! Watching them crumble slowly fills me with delight. I propose a topic for discussion. Which species' pain do you find to be most pleasing?

>>47973967
I want some sort of battle focus style rule for the DE, that lets them be more mobile, like their craftworld kin.
Not an exact copy of that rule though.
Maybe something that lets them charge after running, or allows them to charge trough cover without any disadvantages.

I need some help with my plan /tg/. Which of the following will cause a paladin to fall?
>1. He is in a situation where he needs to choose one innocent man or another to live and he chooses one
>2. Same except he needs to choose between a good NPC or a PC (the PC is a rogue)
>3. He needs to choose between himself or the rogue and he chooses himself
>4. If he doesn't press a button then ten people will die. But if he does, it kills a person.
>5. The beer he was served was really a berserking potion and he killed a person
>6. He accidentally puts on the helm of opposite alignment
>7. He deliberately puts on an unknown magic helmet, knowing it's possible it's the helm of opposite alignment, but he thinks it's unlikely, and it turns out this was the helm of opposite alignment
>8. He deliberately puts on the helmet, knowing it's probably the helm of opposite alignment.
>9. He sleeps with an underage girl who told him she was 18
>10. She didn't consent to it either but was forced to tell him she does and he thought so
>11. His order has turned evil but he chooses to stay with his order out of loyalty
>12. His order has turned evil but he chooses to rebel against his order out of what he personally believes is good
>13. His god has become evil
>14. He kills an innocent man in cold blood assuming he's an evil sorcerer in disguise
>15. He kills an innocent man in cold blood thinking there's a 80% chance he's an evil sorcerer in disguise
>16. His party member who is a chaotic neutral rogue decided to pickpocket some money and he gave it to the poor, because he saw they were starving. He decides to not turn the rogue to the authorities even though he could
>17. Another PC confides in him. Before doing so, they have made him swear on his honor that he won't ever tell what they will tell him to the authorities. The PC confesses a horrible crime that must be brought to the attention of the authorities as it will stop an ongoing war. He decides to tell the authorities.

>Look mom, I posted it! They're going to be so mad!
>>
>>47973584
I know this is bait but fuck you.
>1. A difficult decision, but if it's not within his power to save both then he does not fall.
>2. Same again, but with added classism (lel rogues are criminals amirite)
>3. More ambiguous. Choosing yourself over another person in danger teeters on that edge for certain.
>4. Fuck your trolley dilemma.
>5. No falling; just make amends for the misdeed and bring whoever served him the berserking potion to justice.
>6. Loses powers, but they'll return once he gets the hat off.
>7. No sane adventurer would do this.
>8. No sane adventurer would do this and what need does a Paladin have to be Chaotic Evil?
>9. No falling, because Evil was not committed with intent.
>10. Bring the person who forced her to sleep with him to justice.
>11. Perhaps he believes he can bring the order to righteousness from within. Either way as long as he works to mitigate their evil, no falling.
>12. Doesn't fall.
>13. Doesn't fall unless he starts following the New Evil Edicts, at which point he loses his powers.
>14. This is literally what Detect Evil is for.
>15. This is literally what Detect Evil is for.
>16. More classism! But the Rogue performed a Good act, therefore no Falling.
>17. Balancing loyalty to comrades versus the suffering of many other people from war is a difficult decision, but the needs of the many outweigh the desire to escape consequence by his former acquaintance.

tl;dr you have a fundamental misconception of what it means to be a Paladin, and I hope your player leaves your game.

Have you ever done a crystal/ice palace before /tg/? What are some good puzzles or traps for one such palace? I'm blanking on things that arent generic light beam or slide on ice.

Having a PC who uses fire in combat should provide plenty of puzzles and/or traps for the party.

Look up sublimation.

It doesn't have to be ice...
>>
>>47973578
There was a quest, actually, that had an ice dungeon really well done. Valen Quest? Threads 23-26 or so. It was definitely puzzle-y, though, with only one real trap possible, and the puzzle was embedded in the setting. Not sure if that's what you're looking for.

What if one of the intial colony fleets sent out from terra got put off course in the warp. Winding up on the other end of the galaxy along with their entire stc database. And this section of the galaxy was unraped by warp storms during the age of strife. The biggest kickers would be their extended access to their stc database and their men of iron not going killroy.

Now the real questions to ask is how did they prevent psykers from ripping holes into the immaterium. And how they stopped their men of iron from going killroy, well the answer to the first question is somewhat simple. The first thing is the men of iron didnt go killroy the second is that they started placeing human brains in them coginator style.

The psykers would have had to be either killed right off the bat or suppresed to such a degree to be useless to demons. Which is harder than it sounds.

So what would the imperium do upon encountering this small yet powerful enclave of dark age of technology humans? Their thousands of years of technological advancement and their scores of men of iron would try the imperium greatly. Especially if they would be strong enough to hold off the ork invasions for so long. The biggest issue I could see cropping up is the humans worshipping the men of iron as their god protectors.

If it's at all new or different, it's heresy. Purge purge purge purge purge.

>But what if it might make things better for the imperium

Then it's contrary to the grimdarkness of 40k and must be PURGED.
