Post ideas for the new lili in EMN? Tell others why you're happy they don't work for wotc.
What do you want? Not want? etc...
I'll start:
Liliana, Innistrad's Last Hope 2BB
+2: Put a 2/2 zombie onto the field
-3: Each player sacs 2 creatures
-8: Search target opponent's library for any number of creature cards and put them into play under your control. They are zombies in addition to other types.

>That one game you'd love to run, but that you're probably the only one interested in actually playing
What it is, /tg/? Bonus points if it requires a homebrew system.
For me it'd be a game about being a professional racer in a Formula One season (hence pic related) or any other racing discipline. Instead of being on a party, each player is a driver for a separate team/manufacturer, getting into personal drama between each race, and competing against each other on the race weekends. Basically, pic related as a game.

That sounds quite interesting actually. Since I'm not a fan of F1 really, I'd like there to be some sort of table you roll on for each race. By and large, nothing happens and someone wins, but there's a chance for foul play and crashes to occur.
My dream game is about Paladins in a High Fantasy setting, but I just can't bear to play DnD/PF/Fantasycraft. And I dunno what I would play, Dungeon World didn't scratch the itch.

I actually have two games I'd love to run, but it would have to be online in a chatroom due to my current location not being good.
Game #1: One Piece, game based on the anime/manga series where you assemble a crew and go on adventures in such for action and treasure. Players would be able to pick a crew class and a battle class that helps the crews out in different ways. I also had races figured out as well as abilities, locations, choice between being a pirate, bounty hunter or marine.
Game #2: Ghostbusters, borrowing elements from all source material and using it to assemble a ghost hunting team that must take on objectives, navigate, investigate, and capture/destroy paranormal entities that threaten this reality. There would also be chances to obtain new items and equipment, test experimental equipment and to upgrade rides and your headquarters.
I also have ideas for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and redoing my old Animorphs campaign I had back in college.

Anybody got any really good ideas for tactics that can be employed by a D&D party to increase survivability as much as possible?
Preferably edition-agnostic and based more in real-world logic than number crunching.
Shit like making use of bottlenecks, taking the high ground, standard operating procedures like having the thief throw the door open and the fighter be the first one to step through with the MU behind that, ready to cast spells if need be.
Here's what I have so far:
>hand mirrors for peering around corners
>always have caltrops on hand
>always bring fishing line and bells for a makeshift alarm if someone enters your camping area
>10 foot poles
>characters have created a small tactical sign language so they can communicate with each other silently if need be
>keep a couple flasks of oil with you even if you use torches rather than lanterns
>drop ball bearings and/or caltrops just inside a room, then have the toughest character stand just behind the doorway with sword-and-board, and another character on each side with a spear

>Everyone learns how to best use Cover, team has at least one Tower Shield or two that they can set for mobile cover bonuses (if 3.P).
>Invest in teamwork benefits from PHB 2 and DMG 2 (if 3.5)
>Ranged characters should take advantage of the bonus to defense against ranged attacks when prone and taking advantage of Stand(Move)-Shoot(Standard)-Drop Prone(Free) shenanigans.
>Remember that allies typically grant cover against ranged attacks.

As there's no active Civ thread, and it's been a while since I ran one, here we go! We'll start by voting, and the rules will be explained as we go. the most popular race/location will be selected, just post one or two votes and I'll decide after listening to the majority. When that's decided, I'll explain the rules.

I'm playing in a new 5e campaign. In the past, I've always avoided Cleric. I've thought about running Clerics before, but I always end up feeling like Clerics in 5e seem to be mediocre hybrids of other classes.
Most of the "Divine Domains" in the PHB seems to be themed around one of the other classes:
Light/Tempest - Wannabe Sorcerer/Wizard
Nature - Wannabe Druid
War - Wannabe Fighter/Barbarian
Trickery - Wannabe Rogue/Bard
Life - Wannabe Paladin
Knowledge - Wannabe Wizards
So what am I really gaining by running a cleric of these domains vs. the other classes they closely resemble? It seems like I'm trading other class advantages for heavy armor and the ability to cast "Bless" and "Cure Wounds"

>>
>>47872029
I'd say an auxiliary front line fighter with full spellcasting for buffs, control, utility, or healing. Our group has a melee cleric that partners up with the Fighter near constantly and they are quite effective at holding the line. Bonus points for him going out of his way to position himself for flanking, which the fighter and I (the Rogue) are always thankful for.
Also Bless is an awesome spell. Shit saves lives

>surpassing a certain amount of damage of a single hit can deal extra damage (f.e. 6 damage is dealt normaly , 10 or more gets additional 10 damage because it deals a severe wound)

single-hit damage thresholds that, when exceeded, force a character to make a check to prevent being
1) knocked down
2) knocked out
3) killed outright
Basically what GURPS does. GURPS is the best system I've seen for showing that you don't fight as well when wounded. (GURPS also gives characters a penalty to a wide variety of things immediately after taking damage, simulating the difficulty of accomplishing things when in sudden, acute pain.)

Hey teegee
Players want gonzo fantasy set in feudal Japan. I'm trying hard to accommodate but I don't know where to start. Think some of the weirder ADnD modules but in glorious Nippon. If you have any ideas post em here.
Already started coming up with weird fantasy variations on classic Japanese myths and singling out things that would work on their own like a Gashadokuro.

Well, Oriental Adventures is a thing.
>TSR released several products with the Oriental Adventures logo . This includes a series of modules numbered OA1 to OA7, the first five of which (Swords of the Daimyo, Night of the Seven Swords, Ochimo: The Spirit Warrior, Blood of the Yakuza, and Mad Monkey vs. the Dragon Claw) were released for first edition AD&D. The sixth module (Ronin Challenge) was released for the second edition, as was the seventh module (Test of the Samurai) which did not have the Oriental Adventures logo. The last three of these modules also had the Forgotten Realms logo. The Kara-Tur: The Eastern Realms boxed set, also for Forgotten Realms, was billed as an expansion for Oriental Adventures. Also released for second edition was a volume for the Monstrous Compendium series.

I want to try out making all of the class features that classes get when they level up and turn them into feats. Then assign XP cost to all of them and enable players to buy them as they gain XP. Hit Dice and other stuff you gain leveling up would be locked to XP, still have to figure out how to manage the HD, thinking of making some kind of mathematical formula using Strength and Constitution. What d you think guys, can this be done?
