What are some valid criticisms against Age of Sigmar besides "old is good, new is dumb"?
>>47578307
The game is actually fun.
Just needs a system to balance games.
>>47578307
It's more expensive than buying the old one second hand.
Also, 40k conversion potential
What are your vampires like?
>>47573665
No such thing.
>>47573665
Scary, gross, and creepy. Subject to a lot of old-timey folk rules that limit their power, but you still don't want to fuck with them
Pools of blood containing the bound souls of sorcerers who wished to attain greater power and immortality through binding their essence to the most arcane humour of the body. As blood was never meant to contain a soul, their pool gradually decays and requires replenishment. Several thousand years after the original ritual, the vampire brood lords over an planet-spanning darkened city dedicated to farming humanity, their bodies an amalgam of dead flesh and hydraulic cybernetics which their blood flows into.
What's your favourite published setting and why? Doesn't have to be D&D.
Personally I like the Realms. The sheer amount of published material means that the lore is plentiful. You can run pretty much anything you want. Players also seem to enjoy the familiarity of it.
Honestly? The setting of Otaria, in the Magic: the Gathering novels between Odyssey and Scourge.
It's basically remembered nowadays only for being a clusterfuck thanks to WotC switching up authors for every book, but reading those novels is what got me into fantasy in the first place, so the RPGs I run tend to have that Otarian flavor, even if a little.
>>47569074
Homebrew all the way. Whenever I use published settings, I feel like that person who's taking someone else's work and making deviantart-tier fanfictions about it and it feels bad man. I know that's the POINT, but it still feels bad.
>>47569074
I really like Dark Sun. It feels a lot like Robert E. Howard's Conan and Hyborea stuff, and is written for a system that I know. I like the twist on how reckless use of magic drains life, that sorcerer-kings are really powerful people your adventurers should not fuck with in the beginning, and the different take on traditional fantasy races. Not to mention how each sorcerer-king's city is modeled around a different ancient civilization.
I tried running a game for a group, but they got bored because they weren't able to cheese the shit out of the game system we were using (I'm a 4e fag turned 5e fag, and they were 3.X/Pathfinder fags). I just wish I could find someone running it so I could play...

>Which rules should I follow?
If you don't already have some homebrew version with friends, follow the MTGO card pool and banlist (and please spread this to your friends that start playing with you). Currently the only place Pauper is officially supported by Wizards is online, and they have a card pool and banlist, therefore that is the format we should be using offline on paper as well, since decks and cards can transfer to games between each other with no confusion.
>WAHHH THATS TOO HARD WHERE...
http://www.mtg-hunter.com
The bottom left has a box, select MTGO Pauper, all cards in the card pool and banlist are taken into account.
>What deck should I use?
Ask in the thread!
>Is MTGO worth it?
If you have no local paper competition, but want to play a vast amount of Pauper, it can't be beat, even if it is a clunky GUI, you learn quickly.
Some good decks for newbies include but are not limited to:
>Burn
>Elves
>Goblins
>Stompy
>Slivers
>Affinity
>Mono U control
>UB Teachings
gotta try brew a temur Delver/Moongose
I want to make a top-tier pauper gauntlet. What are the must have decks? Looking for around 12 total to start with.
Sup nerds. Been considering getting into pauper with a few buddies. My are Elves and/or Vampires viable? I'm sure Elves must be, but pauper Vamps would be neat too.
Many thanks.

When we last left off, I had somehow managed to improvise a bomb out of a waterproof electric car battery to kill a bunch of fish.
Before that. I found this Raft Otter standing next to me in one of the rooms. He seems to like me at least, can't say I return it.
And even before that, I got trapped on this base that I was supposed to salvage. My co-worker is dead. There are shitloads of angry monsters swimming around. Most of the base is underpowered and not working. And my only reliable contact can only talk to me through Morse code.
The plan right now is to find the Chief Engineer's Keycard so I can unlock the bulkhead leading into security. That's why I did the thing with the bomb.
But most importantly, I seriously need a fucking cup of coffee.
>>47577162
We certainly gave the Otter something to eat that's for sure.
Secord's been a little quiet since then. I'd have imagine he'd have at least seen what the hell happened through the ceiling camera.
Oh well. What's our next stop, voices in my head?
the bomb has been deployed, yes? and all the fish in that... improvised lake are dead, right? in that case it's time to put on the re-breather and any other swimming gear you have and go for a swim. maybe the otter will build a nice corpse-raft from all the fish in here.

I am interested in investing some extra money into a nice MTG deckbox and playmat so I felt like it would a good opportunity to create a thread discussing the peripherals you use while playing. Did you spend a little extra $$ to add a little bling to your game? Especially interested in custom goods/artwork (even if the artwork is borrowed from another artist).
Dice & life counters
Deckboxes & playmats, Card sleeves
Cases and carry bags
>>47567857
Never.
Though I did find a nice old wooden box to put all my KD cards in because the originally stupid huge box isn't big enough.
nifty 3-sided die
I spend a little extra money to get a Deck Builder's Toolkit when I need a new box for holding multiple decks.
>playmat
I will never understand this. To me it just sounds like a scam. One of the greatest scams in the world considering how many get sold.
I got this Captcha wrong.
I need some /tg/-approved fantasy anime (or any animated show), but most of what I come across is too edgy or contrived.
I just what something basic, where the heroes are heroes, the castles are old, and wizards wear pointy hats. Doesn't have to be purely D&D European fantasy, but I'll take anything that feels like an honest to god proper noblebright adventure.
>>47543132
For an example of an anime I did like that's not generic European fantasy, I recently finished Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon? Love the fantasy designs and the action was good, only thing holding it back was the harem shit.

Hey folks. This is Mr. Blue Sky, lead developer for VeloCITY - The Wind in Your Hair, the Jet Set Radio-inspired homebrew involving barreling down hills at top speed without a motor and without a care. Long time no seeunder this moniker.
As always, to find the latest version of the rules, you can always download the PDF from the 1d4chan website at https://1d4chan.org/wiki/VeloCITY
I know it's been a long time since I've updated the system; the last update to the system was marked for last November. I apologize it's been so long since I've done anything with the system, at least on the surface. To make up for it, I've got a small update for you. I've added a bunch more sample scenes you can use for GMing, on top of proofreading and an extra music reference link on the title page. I know it may not be much, but I feel obligated to add at least something. I still love this project and am glad it's lasted as long as it has.
As always, any questions, stories, characters, suggestions, art and anything else are all welcome. I apologize again for the long delay, and I hope you enjoy!

Holy wow it's been a while.
Since summer's coming again in just a few short weeks we might be able to get together and reboot our last game, or start a new one, so let's look forward to that.
Also, comfy diner cement post.
Fuck yes, it's been a while.
I'm planing on GMing this on summer and come back with storytime.
Welcome everyone, new and old players alike! This is Tundra civ, a civ thread series in a fictional, non-fantasy setting where you play as the rulers of the White Republic, a nation in a world similar to our own.
Check out the pastebin for story, technologies, stats etc (updating it right now)
http://pastebin.com/t7gWa2pa
And an archive of previous threads if you want to skim through some of them.

Previously on Tundra civ:
We spent a bit of time on internal development and strengthening our military, after which a series of important events took place which defined The Crisis of Summer in 1194 After the Exile. Negotiations between the Axis nations and the New Pajit Union were successful, which led to the last remnants of the Organisation being flushed out of hiding - or so we thought. What occured were a series of clashes, covert operations and terror atacks around the globe, during which the Organisation secured a key to a Vault underneath Vajni. From there our enemies unleashed a mighty warmashine - an enormous flying battleship, which we dubbed "the doomship". It was only through the sacrifices of many thousands of soldiers that we were finally able to bring the doomship down, just as it had entered the outskirts of Centerhold, our capital.
>Population:182 000 000 (78% white, 15 % chink,2%hibibi, 3% darkskin,2% pacharnati)
>Colonials: 28 600 000 Eyerdar 15 800 000 Veita 15 800 000 Ocras

>F.Improve Military
>G.Research science
>H.Improve Navy
>I.Improve economy
>J.Regional development
>K.Diplomacy and war
>L.Government and laws
The doomship blasted a number of towns and cities on its way to Centerhold, which was its ultimate target. We were able to shoot it down before it could reach the Coucil Palace - it crashed in the southern industrial district, which was thankfully the first to be evacuated beforehand. Emergency responce crews are there and are working on putting out fires and rescuing any civilians who are still there.
Little has remained from the ship, its wreckage is strewn across the entire quarter.
Also, the world map's proportions aren't right, I make a new one every update, it's just there for a sence of relative locations.
The NPU was given parts of its former territory back, settlers were compensated for having to move away. The pro-white government of the NPU is being cooperative and abiding by the terms of the post-Great War treaties. They revealed the information they had on the Organisation, which led to the entire event chain afterwards in the last thread.
Currently the fate of the Four remaining Spirelords is unknown. The doomship crashed into Centerhold with no survivors.
>>47575986
>G.Research science
Study the remain of the doomship, every single piece of it is an artifact of highly advanced technology.
dear god so soon you're not giving us a break at all, not that we wanted one, nice change of pace.

Decades of social stigma, and a frequently creepy consumer base.

Previous thread:>>47526193
I'm going to respectfully ask that we avoid calling anyone who criticizes our flakes Chillbrass. I'm also going to respectfully ask that we avoid criticizing lore-breaking flakes for more than 10 posts. I'm all for creativity, but generally these posts just tend to repeat the same arguments again and again and shit up the thread. Some shitposting is to be expected. But too much makes the thread not worth it. So let's all work together to make the flake thread better.

what percentage of dragonblood is required to exalt?
how are mixed heritages resolved?(how does it decide which element they are)
Where do you find your character art /tg/?
Have you ever commissioned artwork for your ongoing Exalted games?
Have you done your own art for your games?
So how good is Godbound anyway?
