>that guy that shows up to play stoned
>>47362752
Almost half my group does that. It actually helps them most of the time.
>>47362752
and was promptly evicted from the game because he was warned not to show up stoned again.
1. it make shim useless
2. the wife doesnt want it around
3. its still not legal here, so it endangers the group when he's a fuckhead in public
4. he was warned not to, so he did it to himself
It's impolite to show up baked without asking but it can also be fun to play with a baked group if you're into that sort of thing.
Pretty much how do you even roleplay with a class that's pretty much "hit hard, rage hard".
>>47357851
I enjoy playing them as Not!Aztecs (because macuahuitls are bitching) and/or the "noble savage" (which makes me feel really racist to say). Which is why in Star Wars games I almost exclusively play Wookiees.

THE BULLYWUGS ARE COMMING!!!
Do these stats look good for a CR 8 monster? I'm a bit concerned that it might be too strong.
Spider-Breathing Dragon
Large Dragon, Chaotic Evil
CR 8, 5000 XP
“The creature appears at first to obviously be a dragon, but you’re pretty sure dragons don’t have fur. Or mandibles.”
AC: 17
HP: 17d10+56
STR 20 (+5)
DEX 12 (+1)
CON 20 (+5)
INT 5 (-3)
WIS 10 (+0)
CHA 10 (+0)
Actions:
Multiattack: The dragon makes four attacks, one with its bite, two with its claws, and one with its breath weapon.
Bite: Melee weapon attack, +7 to hit, reach 10 feet, one target. On hit, does 4 (1d8) piercing damage. Target must make a DC 13 CON saving throw or take an additional 8 (2d8) damage, taking half damage on a successful throw
Claw: The dragon uses its claws to attack. +7 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Does 11 (2d6+4) damage on hit.
Swarm Breath: The dragon exhales a breath of freaking spiders in a 30-foot cone. Does 1d8 damage on a failed save and half on a successful one. If the target fails their save, they are beset by a swarm of flying spiders. This swarm does 2d4 damage automatically to the target on the dragon’s turn. The swarm is scattered by using fire spells on it, submerging oneself in water, or anything else that would realistically get rid of a large number of arachnids. These swarms stack linearly—if a character is hit by the breath weapon twice, the new, larger swarm does 4d4 damage, then 6d4and so on. Each stack of a swarm increases the DC required to avoid the dragon’s next breath by 1.
>>47356631
Most dragons don't have their breathe weapon as part of their multi attack, so maybe make it more powerful early but it can only use the breathe weapon as its action?
What type of roleplayer do you find most obnoxious /tg/?
For me personally as a GM I think it has to be the people who try way too hard to be overtly evil at all times no matter the circumstances.
Don't get me wrong, I've run some evil campaigns where whacky cartoon villainry were perfectly welcome. But honestly it becomes tiresome when you know most of your playgroup like to play good aligned archetypical hero characters, paladins, clerics, avengers of gods like Evaldir.
Then along comes jimmy who intentionally rolls a fucking half vampire necromancer character whose overarching goal is to create a warcraft style plague of undeath...
To top it all off? He refuses to hide this fact, perhaps instead keeping it a clandestine character secret to be sprung at a dramatically appropriate time, and calls foul when the other members of the party in character decide they've had it and stake him to a tree.
>tl;dr its considerate to consider whether your character is appropriate for the campaign and group you are joining guys. though im sure most of you know it
What about you guys? Any types of player or specific players to tell of?
Feel free to storytime anything too
Advice for helping to solve disputes between awkward players and playgroups would also be v welcome
>>47354915
Captain Ayn Rand McBackstabbity Faggot.
The motherfucker who always plays a character of neutral-leaning-evil morality, not a bad person necessarily, but one who just absolutely cannot work along with people in good faith. The party is hanging out with some friendly locals and chilling with the local church, this fag is scheming with the thieves' guild. We're a group of good-aligned people who generally try to do nice stuff for its own sake and other assorted acts of friendship, and this guy is like "nah that dudes a nigger fuck him".
I just want a coherent party with similar goals.
>>47355047
Last time I played someone like that my friends and gm all talked about how great it was and how interestingly it affected things.
I still helped the party with whatever they needed though, so it might've played out differently.

>What strange rites have you performed?
The PCs in my Mortals game summoned a ghost by wearing his clothes and sleeping in his bed to try and entice him to possess them. Nothing like a 5' girl wearing the clothes of a 6'8" ex-con and sleeping on his stained mattress while her gal pals wait in the closet with salt and crucifixes.

My best Changeling character was crowned King of Summer in an extravagant public rite that culminated in him donning a flaming brass crown and tears of molten gold becoming a feature of his mien.
RIP in peace, Lionheart. Gone too soon.

I need a good Fourth Attainment for The Whipping Boys. I'm focusing on Mind for their attainments, since that's what their original fluff seemed to go for, even if the Attainments were all just fightmage stuff. There just isn't much good for what I want in the sample Mind spells, and I don't know if I'm comfortable Creative Thaumaturgying something completely new.
This is what I've got so far (all rituals are cast with a BDSM session as the ritual, and effect only the participants):
>First
• Mental Scan, instant cast on intimate contact (close touching, hugs, sex, wrasslin'), spend a point of mana to know more definite information
• Analyze Life, ritually cast, Reach spent on Advanced Duration, with additional factors set to Duration, so usually it lasts a week
>Second
• Either a better Mental Shield that provokes Clash of Wills against all mind-affecting powers or a flat "increase Resistance" power, ritually cast with the same duration modifiers
• Basically Majesty as a Life spell as the optional, lasts as long as the main effect, but bases Duration on Life dots
>Third
• Grants [Mind] in free skill dots to use in skills you have one dot in, ritually cast, with advanced duration
• Body Control with Potency of [Life] and Advanced duration, also ritually cast, and with the 1/0 armour option
>Fourth
• Currently you both go into the same Oneiros during the Session; Paradox is treated as if it's the Caster's Oneiros (even if it's a Sleeper's) and you share the better Amnion (even if the other person is a Sleeper); but that's a bit lame?
• The Life bonus is that so long as you have 1L, you can use Mend for free.
>Fifth
• Psychic Reprogramming, ritually cast, can shuffle Attributes, Advanced Duration with spell factors allocated to duration
• Transform Life/Many Faces to match the Reprogramming
You find a disk roughly three-inches in diameter that is indestructible.
What's the most clever use you can come up with for it?
>>47343975
Jam it into things that need to be gummed up with a Darksteel Artifact
Thats all i can really think of
(Also, compared to the hands? Thats closer to a 5 or 6 inch diameter disk)
>>47343975
I eat it.

>What is Exalted?
An epic high-flying role-playing game about reborn god-heroes in a world that turned on them.
Start here: http://theonyxpath.com/category/worlds/exalted/
>That sounds cool, how can I get into it?
Read the 3e core book (link below). For mechanics of the old edition, play this tutorial: http://jyenicolson.net/exalted/. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.
>Gosh that was fun. There were a lot of lesbians though. How do I find a group?
Roll20 and the Game Finder General here on /tg/. With the new edition, though, chances are more games will crop up.

I'd rather play 2.5 than 3, for that matter. The old one really wasn't that bad, and the new one has shit for support so far. I don't understand why Holden hates 2.5e - and I don't understand how he can hate it with a straight face, either. It seems like something out of Microsoft: "sure we spent eight years improving our last product and putting out supplements and upgrades for it, but our new product is SO MUCH BETTER you really need to buy that instead now! Kindly disregard the time I spent pimping previous product."

Jumpchain Solid: Revengeance
In tems of increasing difficulty, what's the best order for Megami Tensei jumps?
Got a question about Symbiotes. Lets say I wanna give my companions or something Symbiote powers without actually givin them a voice talking in their head, is it possible? Can I give them a surgery of somesort and allow them to access the symbiote abilities as if they themselves were symbiotes? Of course I dont plan to give them that crazy processing thing and make them go crazy, but carbon nano tube muscles and skin weaving together with a crazy bio processing power? That would be awesome.

Hey, Jumpchain - if you could only use one Jump's powers and metaphysics for your entire Chain, which one would it be? Serious question - I'm considering doing a one power build, and I've been trying to brainstorm options.
>>47352785
Probably Gurren Lagann. It just seems the most fun for the purpose of being an out of context problem.
Sup /tg/, I want to get into Magic. I have a rough understanding of the basic gane play (played duels of the planes walkes 2013 and the old school Shandalar game for PC way back. Also used a friends deck a time or two) Wondering what the best way to start up is. Good/cost effective ways to buy cards? Advice on color(s) to play?
Shameless self bump
Go to lsg if you got one at hand, ask for the free starter half decks for beginners.
They should be free.
Pick two colors have a friend pick 2 and see how they play.
You will have more affinity for some colors than others. Play those.
You can start casual and move up to either commander or modern, I won't recomendable standard to start with because by the time you finish your deck and get good that shit will rotate.
I see a lot of people talking about the different styles like modern, standard, etc. Whats the difference?
