Senpai just find a group that does text only.
My group prefers it even though we VC each other if we play video-games or board-games and the like.

A friend of mine swears by the one they use and they managed to talk to people on a daily basis over Skype etc for years before anyone even caught on. I can't remember the exact name, think it had diamond in it, so I suppose that's a hint for you.

Ask your friend.

Harpoon 3
Good Luck

>>47950864
I was running the Victor III in that game. We ended it 2 turns after I popped my 2 ASROC's, judging by the picture I they would have tracked (1nmi. search radius from impact location, picture looks to be from 1 or 2 turns before the launch).
Of course we both had fish in the water after that, as he had a solid hit on my location at time of launch, and I had a bearing based on his evasion of incoming missiles and the passive lock I achived with a really lucky roll early on.

That was a really fun game, intense but fun!

I would play harpoon again any time.

This is the latest screenshot I have of that game...

>Lord of the Rings game

Is the 'the' implicit?
I mean, it should be 'The Lord of the Rings' right?

I've never been able to completely focus on one thing. One idea is made to the point where I think it's not good enough, and I scrap it, or several ideas that aren't developed

>>47949797
That's pretty much the same problem I have. I get a neat tagline or concept for a setting or an aspect of one, but I can't extrapolate from it to make a full world, or fill in enough gaps that I can run a game with it.

>>47949898
>>47949797

What ideas has it been most recently for you guys?

For me, it's a...

- Space Fantasy based on every HFY trope and story that isn't shit (surprisingly few) and a couple of good space superstition threads.

- Heroic Fantasy based on American history and folklore, as opposed to European.

- Superhero game - something street level, like Daredevil/Jessica Jones, where they finally build up to the big bad, for him to be just a guy with powers like theirs actually trying to change things for the better, and giving them the rundown on why beating up on street level crime is just getting their vigilante jollies off.

Look up Hollowfaust: City of Nevromancers.

Best take on neutral, and good necromancers ever.

>>47949268
I played a not-evil necromancer once. But since you seem to be looking at probable wanting to go the evil necromancer lich route, I don't know if my story-time would be relevant or not.

>>47949406
Go for it. I'm not settled on being evil. I'm mostly curious about people's experiences playing necromancers, if they ever did any sort of empire-building, and how they accomplished it.

I've never played, but here's hoping someone has some good stories.

old WQ or new WQ?

I just picked up the new WQ. Going to try to paint everything before playing... If I achieve that, it will be a first for me.

A mentat requires data. Firsthand observation of your ship and its crew will give you information that your subordinates and their reports might miss. Which deck of the Heighliner will you inspect?

In all honesty, if it stops that little shit stealing everything that isn't bolted down, and some of that which is, I'm all for it.

>she's a whore with a heart of gold

Reminds me of a Primordial / Yozi.

As for weaknesses, depends on what will make a good campaign - do your players want lots of fight scenes? Perhaps they only encounter the bbeg at the very end and only fight his minions or monsters incidentally created by him.

Do they want secrets, puzzles and roleplaying? the game is about evading and hiding from the BBEG while uncovering his past / how his powers work?

Main thing to focus on is what would make a good game for someone else to play, a cool villian in a bad campaign is useless, and should probably be in a story.

>>47946914
I was originally thinking a little bit of column a, bit of column b. Equal amounts of action and roleplaying. Like the bbeg endangering some innocent bystanders with his fuckery and the party having the options to help them, maybe afterwards finding out they have developed a fanclub from their heroism. The problem with the bbeg being that he/she always uses a disguise when he/she fights them and they don't know who he is or what he is planning. In other words, Kill La Kill action when they finally uncover and fight him/her mixed with LA Noir/Batman style investigations to find out who he/she is and how he is going to carry out his/her plans.

Heck I've even been thinking about giving them opportunities Assassin's Creed style to find out his/her weaknesses or opportunities to help make stopping his/her plans easier. Such as looking into where his/her emergency hideout is through interrogation so you can wait for him/her there in case he/she manages to book it, or slip the news to Gamagori so he can wait there. Finding out his identity is just the bare minimum and the various ways you can make screwing him over easier is the icing on the roleplay cake.

Reality warping is fuzzy affecting everything in a line from the BBEG to the target, including the BBEG. Hit him in the head with a rock to get him to stop.

Alright what is guild ball all about m8?

>>47944718

Guild Ball is a fantasy skirmish game similar to Blood Bowl, but instead of American Football, it's Soccer.

Both teams are composed of one Captain, one Mascot, and 4 other players. (six total models on each side for a full sized game)

Gameplay is quick paced with the largest mechanical difference from other wargames being alternating model activation. You activate and perform all the actions you can with a model, then your opponent does the same, you continue this process until all models have gone, then the turn is over.

This video will provide a bit of insight into what the game looks like, as well as giving an overview to some of the other mechanics.

Another great thing about the game is that all the rules and resources are available for download for free from SteamForged at their site at http://steamforged.com/guildball/
