Last time, on Dragon Ball Tuffle Quest Z! You reunited with your husband, meeting the Saiyans and Cui, whose bail was posted by Vegeta's brother, Prince Tarble! You make a truce with Nappa and Vegeta to prepare for Freeza, but when you return you're given unsettling news: Korin and Yajirobe are missing! And Baba's discovered that the one guarding him is someone from a race thought long gone...
And a pastebin: http://pastebin.com/93rxb3dN
>>47942473
Baba finishes telling you about the supposedly long-gone Herans, dwindled to but a handful from species in-fighting during a major crisis. Homeworld ruined by a disaster brought about from some of the most notorious of their kind. The few survivors becoming space pirates and bandits, with desire to pillage, take, and even conquer a few worlds. One group became such a threat to the stability of the universe the Kais themselves had to step in, sealing away the last of the Herans.
"...is it just me that's getting a bit of deja vu from this?" your brother questions aloud. "Like, did they turn into giant sharks whenever their planet had a New Moon or something?"
"It's a theme that seems far more common than it should, I'll admit." Baba states with a saddened frown. "Still, take that map to Bulma when you can. It's the best shot we have to rescue Korin."
"Dibs!" Acer says aloud, taking it and heading out.
Before you can go out after him, you look to Baba. Her frown softens into a smile. "It is good to have you and everyone else home again, Maple."
You smile back. "Good to be home, auntie Baba."
Outside, you see the kids playing, Acer looking over the map, and Goku and Chi-chi laughing about something.
>A. Gather up the kids
>B. Mind if I deliver it, brobro?

What the fuck is going on here? This game literally never gets any "play" on /tg/ at all, and nobody cares even slightly about it. Nobody I know has even heard of it except for the grogs who hate the system, so where the fuck is all of this support coming from? WHO IS BUYING THIS SHIT
>>47937421
It had a sizable Kickstarter, and surprisingly there's a whole world out there that buys stuff outside of you and /tg/.
>>47937421
>a movie, a video game
what the fuck? what? i have heard nothing of it. nothing. I only know of a small following of it on /tg/. Video game and movie? links to stuff
>>47937441
movie's just some 10 minute short film called strand.
The video game was one of the earliest and most successful kickstarters ever so I have no idea how you fucking missed that you stupid asshole.
>You are one of three characters: Samson, a spoiled bard, Dyrus, an axe-wielding prince crowned by a successful rebellion, or Rene, an orphan adopted by a high-ranking Director of an declining Empire, now a prepromoted archer-lancer.

From one side of the continent of Teege, the knights of Noba, led by Sir Jovan, advance upon the Central region, accompanied by Samson and his companions. They intend on defeating the final loyalists to the Empire without an Emperor, preventing the Gerxel from ever rising to power again by conquering their last stronghold. Even when an ample amount of wyrmite and significant wyvern losses on the Noban front hampered Director Belinda, she only fought back harder, craftier.
On the other side of the continent of Teege, the knights of Neir, led by Queen Hauteclere, pass through the Desert region, Prince Dyrus anxious for the inevitable. He feels a personal grudge against Director Belinda, what with all of her strikes against people close to him and growing up in the region she rules over. The mother Belle was mistreated by to the point where she would rather run from home and fend for herself as a preteen, the mentor who left Nia for dead, branded Winona a traitor for caring about her sister, let Marduk believe his sisters were dead.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9P2Mt2Vh39s
You, Rene, are on the other side of Teege. You wouldn't call yourself "none the wiser" to any of this dire situation for the Central region, but it doesn't currently concern you. Your target is a bandit leader who is VERY likely to be killed if left unattended, after all, and you're certain you need him alive if there's any hope of Emperor Ximeno's plan working. Wasting no time, you arrive in the mountain range where, just days ago, Emperor Ximeno died, thankful that this Conrad wasn't stupid enough to challenge the entire rebel army on his own like expected.
"So," Veiz asks, your party standing on the end of the path leading up to Conrad's mountain fortress, "what is our plan for recruiting Conrad? I doubt we'll be able to up and ask..."
>A. We could certainly try to be civil...
>B. Prioritize capturing him
>C. Kill his men in a show of dominance
>D. Write-in idea

>>47946403
>A. We could certainly try to be civil.
But if he only listens to violence
>D.Challenge him to a duel
>>47946448
"We could certainly try to be civil," you suggest. "I mean, he's already demonstrated that he's capable of restraint..." Drawing your Steel Lance for effect, you add, "but... he is still a bandit, and their first language is bloodshed. If he's not willing to cooperate, I could challenge him to a duel."
"So violent..." Sara remarks, flying down from the skies above. "I should hope my younger brother isn't like that..."
"Oh, Sara, hello. Did you see anything up there?" You ask.
"Nothing good," she answers. "We're being blocked in..."
"Blocked in? By who, exactly?" Veiz asks.
"Coming in from the North... It looks like mercenaries led by an old man with an axe and a girl with blue hair..."
"Sir Darren," you remark bitterly. The legendary warrior who betrayed your Empire, a friend to your father, to Methodius, a pillar for all soldiers to strive to emulate. "And... From the South?"
"Wait, no..." Saye sniffs loudly, "it can't be..."
"...it appears to be other wolfskin," Sara says, confirming whatever Saye was to say. "I believe that they're here to exterminate bandits..."
"No, not just any wolfskin," Saye says, shaking her head. "After all our time together, I would know Director Chiffon's scent anywhere." Another smelling motion, and a recoil, "and someone with a REALLY strong perfume. But why would someone mask their scent like that?"
"A mystery we can ponder at a later time," Cicero says, facing Saye and grasping her shoulders, a grim look in his eye. "Saye... I know that you valued the trust of Director Chiffon quite a lot, so we need to know now: will you be able to fight, should your kinsmen confront us?"
"I... Loved the Wolfskin region dearly," Saye says, "but I really don't think it was right for Chiffon to turn his back on the Empire in its hour of need. Garou aren't fair-weather friends! I made my decision when I went to follow you guys after..."
Cicero nods, letting go. "Sorry for doubting you."

You bend Launch's gun, and you're pretty sure she's about to take a swing at you. So, you talk fast, explaining that Blue's a General in the Red Ribbon Army, and worth a fortune in ransom.
"That right?" she asks.
Next thing you know, she's dashing toward the submarine, hopping in and smirking deviously as she directs the vehicle away from the island, vanishing into the distance with Blue.
"Who was that?" Bulma asks.
"Launch," Goku says. "You've met her already."
"But Launch was nice the last time I saw her," Bulma comments.
"Yeah, we hear that a lot," Krillin says.

>General question:
So tell me, whats the longest hiatus your group has ever taken from playing a session without completely breaking apart? Atm my group is hitting week 4 as of tomorrow. As of right now, we have plans to resume July 1st.
If I'm a gnome wizard and reduce myself to size tiny, what is the best small size creature I could use as a mount, That could still support my reduced weight of 5 to 15 lbs?
>>47931604
A giant rat would be your best option for something you could easily tame, but best in general is hard to say. I guess it would depend on what all you want it to do.
>>47931359
How is the Helmed Horror not a TPK, even for a 4th level party?
With point-buy and optimal stats, the players are going to have at most +6 to hit, which means they'll have to roll 14 to hit the damn thing at all

Does anyone else use the crit fails and successes on skill checks house rule?
I don't mean the "oh you crit failed to walk up stairs so your legs explode" or "oh I rolled a nat 20 to eat Tiamat" junk.
Our group only rolls skill checks when there is a chance for failure or success. If we crit fail, something a little worse than normal failure happens. If we nat 20, then we auto succeed.
It's been fun so far for our D&D 5e game.
>>47946402
I don't use them. 10% chance of silliness is too high.
Your auto-succeed on 20 doesn't seem to make any difference because you only allow tests that can succeed anyway. I can see the appeal of just having crit failures, it does mean that players will think twice about 'brute forcing' a skill check by just rolling until they pass. On the other hand it could work against you in a high octane situation where quite a lot might be riding on those checks (DMs shouldn't design encounters that way, but sometimes players come up with plans that DO hinge on a few checks).
>>47946402
No, D&D's probability scale is too short and too discrete to justify me accepting a 10% chance of ludicrousness, and 5% chance of succeeding at any given task, regardless of the odds.
>>47946557
I guess it all comes down to the atmosphere of your game honestly. We just have and don't take things too seriously or too lolz random.
If you are trying to keep a serious or grim tone I can understand letting that chance of something silly or odd happening could ruin the mood.
In reality, there's a pretty limited set of creature types that live in caves - bat, fish, arachnids, a few amphibious types, and then some bigger mammals that just chill at cave openings sometimes but don't really count as 'cave-dwellers'.
I'm trying to come up with interesting creatures for a cave system in a world I'm building, but I want it to remain pretty low-fantasy, so no dragons or trolls, unfortunately. (seems like high fantasy worlds have a whole set of skeletons, trolls, lizards, and ghouls to fill their caves because other people were having the same problem)
Anybody have any ideas/other interesting works to reference?
Albino cannibals who only leave the caves under cover of darkness. Basically morlocks.
What about pale skinned, blind neanderthals that have lived and evolved in caves since the beginning of man? You could make a story on this that there has been a town legend or something about these "people" because they have been scene once or twice wandering outside the cave since [change] happend.
>>47945179
Aaahhh shit.
What's the best alignment, and why is it Lawful Evil?
>>47944572
Are you baiting/doing this ironically or are you just stupid?CN
>>47944572
That is a pretty dumb chart.
>>47944572
Lawful Evil is evil with a purpose, that's what's so great about it. A decent player with an LE character can travel alongside a goodly party and never be noticed, unless the players are sheetgazin.
Tell me, friends: Tell me about the time you bitchslapped a god.

My character was retired (obviously) and then in a campaign two years later, we hear of this god again. Turns out my character got used as a missionary for the god trying to "reimagine" herself as a slightly more benevolent god.

Sup /tg/.
Anyone have experience with this system? I've been thinking of running it for my group of turbo weebs and would love to hear any stories.
Either about the system itself, the party or even full storytimes.
It's all good in my book.
Apparently there's a new version but it looks kind of dead.
>>47943356
I have experience with third and fourth drafts, but what exactly do you want to know about it?
>>47943376
Ewen works in fits and starts. It's not permanently dead but he hasn't said anything about it in a while.
>>47943454
>but what exactly do you want to know about it?
How quickly can it be set up? How's the balance?Should I change some of those tables to be more "magical girl" and less ecchi fanservice schlock? Nothing against that type of thing per se but it seems really out of place if you're not running Prism Ina or what that shit was called.
What do you do if no one shows up to your first session in a campaign?
you DM the bad guys winning
>>47943205
you recruit new players
as you got flaked out on
also, next time, hold session 0's with each PC individually, so you can Voight-Kampf test for humanity

Hey guys! TV Guy here with an update for you guys.
I'm in talks with a producer for the Night Shift movie. NSW Anon is writing a contract for all three of us to sign that would protect not only ourselves, but more importantly, the script whose story you guys helped shape.
So, assuming that this thing does go through (which it looks like it will), and the guy ends up producing it--what does that mean for you guys?
Well, it means that we probably won't have something for you guys at the end of the summer. But it also means that the finished product will be much better and more professional than if I were to do it myself.
Here's hoping for a great film!
>>47943029
That is some great news, anon!
>>47943091
Thanks Anon! This means a lot to us. We'll keep you guys posted as things progress.
As a longtime follower of the Night Shift threads, I'm tremendously pleased to hear this news! Congratulations on all your hard work and perseverance these past few years! I really hope that everything works out and I look forward to whatever news you share with us in the future!
In the dark future dystopia of 20xx, the mideast is at war, drones patrol the skies, hackers break into corporate data fortresses to steal millions of records, the government monitors your every move via pocket computers and the UK has seceded from Europe.
What other wild, crazy things happen in your cyberpunk future?
Most of the population still doesn't have internet access.
>>47942560
Or electricity. Or running water.
I'm sure someone will be along soon with a comic about the singularity.
>>47942548
