Dungeon Saga is pretty good.

Warhammer Quest: Silver Tower is more of a modern equivalent for Warhammer Quest.

Just use Cockatrice or XMage if you want to play online, unless you're looking for actual sanctioned play by Wizards in case you're fucked.

It's absolute garbage and half of the cards aren't properly coded. God help you if you try to stack effects properly.

>>47770735
yes

What would you want to be doing in this scenario? Leading armies? Banditry? Saving people?

>>47770735
A lot of it sounds pretty interesting and solid. My concern would be that it seems to have been pretty strongly dictated up to this point, so I'd be worried about railroading in the future.

You pretty much know and can prepare any/all of them.

Yes, it's as retarded as it sounds. Maybe it's because they're less "spells" and more that you're asking your god for a favor?

>>47770681
Clerics don't have the same limitation as wizards in that regard. When clerics are preparing spells, they may choose any spells from the cleric spell list, so long as they are spells of a level which they have spell slots for.

>Red, commanded by retired Marine Corps Lieutenant General Paul K. Van Riper, adopted an asymmetric strategy, in particular, using old methods to evade Blue's sophisticated electronic surveillance network. Van Riper used motorcycle messengers to transmit orders to front-line troops and World-War-II-style light signals to launch airplanes without radio communications.
>Red received an ultimatum from Blue, essentially a surrender document, demanding a response within 24 hours. Thus warned of Blue's approach, Red used a fleet of small boats to determine the position of Blue's fleet by the second day of the exercise. In a preemptive strike, Red launched a massive salvo of cruise missiles that overwhelmed the Blue forces' electronic sensors and destroyed sixteen warships. This included one aircraft carrier, ten cruisers and five of six amphibious ships. An equivalent success in a real conflict would have resulted in the deaths of over 20,000 service personnel.
>Soon after the cruise missile offensive, another significant portion of Blue's navy was "sunk" by an armada of small Red boats, which carried out both conventional and suicide attacks that capitalized on Blue's inability to detect them as well as expected.

I'd be pretty salty if I was Blue tbqhwyf.

>assholes forcing their subordinates to do stupid shit to validate the assholes' ideas
Yep, this is the military, all right.

>>47772028
>>47770106
So how exactly do they expect to defend against an enemy employing the same tactics?

>>47769860
Going only by that you could play it in fucking anything.

So I'm going to do the reasonable thing and shill Strike! You can either stat out the airships using the tactical combat stuff, or the vechicle supplement (though I have not read that).

But really, based on that premise any generic system would work, or even non-generic ones with very little adjustment.

GURPS lacks a 4e vehicle supplement though, so the best thing you could hope for is a reworked spaceships thing (using that system would be a bit cumbersome though if you tried to control a whole flotilla).

I would consider picking a wargame for the flotilla stuff and a rpg for the character stuff

>>47769908
A wargame, then? Color me interested. I'm not very familiar with that type of games, so I would be very grateful if you suggested me some.

>>47769896
Also, I'll check that game out.

Shall I call the men sir?

>>47769289
Yes call the men, idiot! Who else does Field Kit Inspections? The bloody Navy?! These ship-rats wouldn't know one end of a foldable trench-shovel from the other!

And while you're at it, get that Tau out of the air vents, I can smell it from a mile off!

>>47769208
Holy shit... welcome back... we kind of kept your legacy running and even made a steam group.

>>47769157
Götterdämmerwhat?

Armageddon, Ragnarok, Apocalypse
literally: dusk of gods

DM's campaign was basically, "the royal bloodline is the linchpin that's keeping the universe running" and the king was old and dying. The only other member of the family is the princess, who has been kidnapped.

Bad guy transfigured the princess into a dragon and left her behind guarding something. We fought her. I killed her. The universe started falling apart. Unbeknownst to us, the king was kaput. The GM hadn't expected me to do that much damage that quickly. The universe started shaking apart but we managed to rez the princess before everything fell apart. She gave us the finger and planeshifted out.

And that was the last session of that campaign. So, as far as I'm concerned, I destroyed the universe. That's what happens when the GM deliberately wants to run a "high-level powergame" in DnD 3.5.

so play the beholder of course

start with basic beholder outlook: yours is the superior race - if only you could find others of your own magnificence ... the other party members will have to suffice as your unwitting servants while you search, despite their incompetence

or subvert: alone of all beholders, you are self-loathing, a feeling only confirmed by the contempt of every other beholder you have ever encountered - there must be some way to transform yourself into a creature worthy of the envy of all others

>Not playing as a hobgoblin captain with the intention of rising to the top to become a warlord
It's like you don't want to wipe out the elves in the name of Maglubiyet.

>>47769172
This.

never because my DM is only a cunt to make sure we earn our glory and not when we have it

>Playing in a Pathfinder game (first mistake)
>Low level campaign, level 6 characters
>Play wizard
>Early on in the campaign, get a Black Tentacles scroll as loot from the first "boss" of the campaign. (For those unfamiliar, Black Tentacles is an incredibly powerful spell that grapple-locks everything in a large area and does decent damage to boot)
>GM tells me I can cast from this scroll, despite not being a high enough level to use the spell normally.
>Fuckyeah, trump card for emergencies.
>Hold on to scroll for about 3 more plot arcs
>Get in a situation where we're up against the GMs super special werewolf boss monster
>Start getting mauled cos squishy mage
>Decide to use my scroll to get away and keep this thing locked down until it's transformation wears off (or at least until other party members can get there to keep me from dying)
>Cast spell
>GM fiat says the werewolf basically rips all the tentacles out of the ground as and is pretty much completely unaffected
>Trump card I've been saving for 3 plot arcs...
>Get mauled, almost die, party members almost die, lots of innocent civilians die


Decided to not really say anything about IRL because everyone else thought it made the boss more intimidating and the encounter more exciting... but I was still pretty pissed that something the GM knew I was saving as a secret weapon pretty much got fiat'ed into uselessness because I decided to use it at a moment when it SHOULD have been super effective.

>>47767921
You had one of those GM's that "worked too hard to let you ruin it"

>>47766920
This gag would work better if I'd ever heard of that game or had any idea what it was

ASL

Dogs in the Vineyard. The base setting is good (Wild West Pseudo-Mormon Inquisition) but the dice mechanics are very easy to adjust for any setting.

what specifically are you unsatisfied about with your performance

>>47767999
>that watermark
>dem trips
mixed feelings

I assume by picking a system, then using the stats and abilities related to the Wendigos from Until Dawn to create a roughly identical creature?

>>47766637
alright then let's start with Pathfinder. As far as I am aware there isn't anything already in the game that represents motion based sight.

>>47766607
Stating them as ghouls should do the trick.

>>47766183
Not in fucking JUNE

Would you trust ANYONE on 4chan with your home address? Think very carefully.

>not using a friend's

>>47765348
No

>>47765348
Maybe.

>>47765348
Sure I would go for it.

Are races racist and technology keep secret within different races, so a kind of difference in weapon tech between races occurs, or is it more a multiple race mixing occurrence?
