Depends on the weapon I imagine.

I have some East Asian sword that has been in my family for a while, could one of you anons identify it you think? I'll post pics

>>47297378
Yes.

>does using a weapon with both hands increase speed , attack strength or both?
You can swing with more power as you have both arms applying force, also two arms gives you more control which could effectively make you faster
>does reverse-gripping a dagger have any purpose?
It's easier to do an upwards slash or a downwards stab.

Bearing in mind I know pretty much fuck all about actual fighting, I may be completely wrong :)

>Literally everyone I've ever played with minus like one guy in college who graduated and moved away mid-way through the first campaign he joined.

>>47297262
It's not like you can't point this out or discuss it when your characters aren't in danger in character

Though there are exceptions to what you're talking about. Killing a temporarily weakened enemy might make more sense long term for the fight if you can take them out quickly

>not just charging into the largest enemy on the map as the Barbarian
>every
>single
>encounter

Sure, charging that Giant got a boulder dropped on me, but I was raging, didn't die, and the Rogue went all "Shadow of the Colossus" on him and stabbed him in the base of his neck.

Worked out just fine.

Not specifically to set up another campaign. But I have run games where the players were the antagonists. It happened on its own a couple of times, where I would try to present them as the good guys and they would just turn into destructive, out-of-control sociopaths. So then I tried to run a campaign where they were the bad guys from the start. They didn't like it, and tried to be the heroes instead.

I used to think they were contrarian, but after a few more years of gaming, now I think they're just retarded.

Long running superhero game. GM ended up running two groups, the Older Adult team which I was a former part of and the younger teenage team, whom i became the main nemesis of for long while till the Adult team managed to reverse the mind control I was under. But god those two years were freaking awesome. Was almost a solid year before my true identity was found out by the teen group. Actually killed one of them...some Doc Ock ripoff type guy.

Several times it I guess

Ambrosia? blood and bits from various powerful monsters? rotting things make good compost, alternatively shit is great compost, but i'm pretty sure you don't want to plant him in that. What kinda things are available in your setting, and what do you want to give him?

Halfway through reading your post I was expecting it to turn into your manhunt for great musicians that you would kill and turn into compost in order to make some sort of super bard

Isn't bone meal the most common non shit fertilizer

Op is fag confirm

Bumperiono

One obvious suggestion would be to run a game of call of Cthulhu set in the Vietnam war after reading through material relating to both

>repair ship (?)

Supply ship.

>>47296912
I used the silhouette of a liberty ship with some minor changes, but planned to use it as repair ship. the (?) is because I'm unsure if I want to include it. that's one of the things I need to test

>>47296713
Well, how much criticism can you take?

Get the AD&D 1st edition DM's guide. Roll up a random dungeon and take a character through it.

>>47296539
I roll play with my wife. Im her personal DM. she enkoys it alot. And i really enjoy making each important npc/party member/bbeg, i keep thinking on every npc personality and behaviour. How they ALL should interact with my wife's character un every situation and so on

We also roll play with our friends but she also likes our own setting with our own rules and history

San Diego, CA reporting in at $4 a pack. Wizards has their recommended MSRP, but stores are allowed to charge as much as they want. A major aspect tends to be how expensive the rent is for the shop

>>47295779

Here boosters are 3-3.5€. You can find older boosters for 1-3€ in big stores too.

Anyone have a high res scan of both sides of Jace, Vryn's Prodigy?

>>47295708
Nice try there stonecarver
I bet you'd have the temperature and lighting change depending on the floor and the reward is 'enlightenment' too

No idea, but since we're on the topic.

>Dad playing AD&D

The hammer and forge were created by the gods, and were used to make creation. The BBEG desperately wants to use these ancient and powerful artifacts to either a.) make himself a god, or b.) remake the world in his (or his god's) image. Perhaps even both.

The BBEG's motive is tied to some personal tragedy; a family member, friend, or mentor who died what the BBEG believes is a meaningless death, the BBEG's childhood was in some way damaged or tragically cut short, or they are doing it for King, Country, and God.

BBEG doesn't have to be male. Just easier to type he and his since they're shorter.

Basically I'm just looking for tips, ideas or suggestions tg would think of help improve the plot or even better plot lines altogether.

>>47295255
Dubs confirmed for great idea

>>47294694
>Frankly the whole thing is super troubling and I just want it to stop.
Then say something. If it doesn't stop, kick the new person out.

>>47294721
This.
Do it privately. If that fails, do it at the table.

Have you resorted to the age old language of violence?

Cost/benefit doesn't really apply to games and luxury goods unless you get that much enjoyment out of it. Generally MtG on the competitive scene isn't worth it in general.

>>47294524
MTG is fine on a casual level
MTG isn't fine on a competitive level unless you're willing to make competitive MTG your life, and even then you might as well pick up a second job of some kind to pay for the MTG.

Learn to draft. It's the cheapest way to start playing and be competitive at the same time.

I did draft for a year beforr breaking into constructed.

I've heard there was a Wood E- er, "Sylvaneth" release today. It's possible the site's down for update for the release, or traffic has crashed the server.

They recruit from a penal world, everyone is sentenced to death and their execution is going through the organ implementation, if they survive they become marines otherwise they die. No one knows this of course, except the marines and the inquisition conclave in charge of the project.

The Razor Wasps Chapter takes its name from a unique arthropod species on their now-lost homeworld. As a steward chapter, the space station that is now their home doubles as the government center for their subsector. It produces an elite regiment of stormtroopers drawn from the best and brightest Imperial Guard regiments of the sector, as well as the station's own eugenically-optimized crew. The entire regiment is semi-secretly undergoing Astartes-scout training (though without most of the cybernetic enhancements and implants), making the entire regiment technically 'aspirants', though only five candidates are selected per decade. Those five 'finalists', the best that stormtrooper regiment can produce and already battle-hardened veterans are then given additional training, the culmination of which is a ritual torture session. Locked in a steam lodge, the five hopefuls are each injected with venom from a Razor Wasp directly into their heart. They are carefully monitored and any noise of discomfort or loss of consciousness disqualifies the candidate. The venom temporarily converts the victim's nervous system into a psychic antenae and broadcasts the agonizing pain they feel to all other life forms within about 50 meters. The other applicants feel that pain, compounded with their own, and transmit it back, creating a feedback loop of mounting agony which has been known to kill even full marines who stray too close. The final applicant awake, sane, and standing silently is given a month to rest and heal before becoming a full Battle Brother and being taken in for their full implant suite.

There's a lot more going on with them, but I don't want to ramble.

>>47295211
Don't they need to be at least younger than 15 to become a space marine?

Or is this some kind of fucked up "If you die before your sentence is finished your kid takes your place" deal?
