Yeah, I played a changeling. The pale gaunt shapeshifter race kind, not the stolen at birth kinds. One of the main focuses of the character was being able to turn a corner down an alleyway and change appearance in moments.

Is this that redeemed succubus meme again?

Anon.... help me! All I can think about is that awful movie when reading your post.

Currently running Talislanta 4e vua Discord because roll20 decided to go ahead and be a little bitch when thr firs session was scheduled. It's pretty gud. It holds character sheets, allows for sorting the party into channles however you like, all that. It has two failings, namely no screen sharing and shitty dice, but both are workable. Though I think we may be switching to ye olde maptoolse soon.

I tend to lurk here and got a couple really neat games going.

Prefer it over IRC for text and Skype for voice, most bots are kind of shit at rolls and there is no VTT.

>>47263195
Maptools is pretty alright. There is a BR toll called Firecast that is better thouhg.

>>47262967
We use discord for voice chat and roll20 to do the rolls. It just works.

First for ded games. Taskforce saw no new releases, in fact, no new stats, since February when the starters were released. Good planning.

Spartan Games ADHD is real.
>It's halo time now, fuck you.- Spartan

>>47263702

It's not even that. It's Halo: Ground Combat time now.

You can actually spot the exact point where they stopped giving a fuck about the space game around the time they released the Valiant.

Plus they had a weird-war 2 3mm game involving Rattes, Maus Companies and other shit AS WELL on display at Salute, so THAT'S a thing also.

At this point, I beleive that Spartan have more active games than they have actual employees, and seem clinically unable to understand why that's a bad thing.

On a tangential note, I could do with Hawk Wargames giving us some kind of update with regards to Dropfleets ETA, were getting pretty close to June and the last thing any of us saw was that the Shaltari BB is out of the design stage, and what the Scourge Cruiser sprue looks like, and that was over a month ago.

This close to the stated release date I would have hoped for a LOT more publicity than what we are getting from Hawk Wargames.

Add more mechanical nuances to combat that players have to look out for and roll on

aka artificial difficulty

>>47259993
Why do you want it to be more dangerous?

>>47259993

Have rocks floating above your players' heads at all times, with random rolls determining whether they fall or not.

>>47259794
Savage Worlds does pretty much everything I want. Easy system, fast combat, reroll mechanics, etc. It's simple to work with and you can run just about anything with minimal effort.

Im putting together a game od Ops and Tactics right now. I mean its generally a system for modern combat but it has some great melee rules too. I could see using it for everything from medieval to future combat.

My game is a bit like shadowrun with less crunch and none of shadowruns fluff ( i hate shadowruns left leaning nature). There is magic and cybernetics with rules in the splat book for it, as well as being friendly for new players and dms.

>>47259932
Quick question, though.
Do they expect people to use 3.5 monsters?

>>47259074
>dat old Marine art
I remember when that sort of excessive artstyle was everywhere. When did we become so reserved? It's weird that in an era where individuality is easily achievable, people start liking conformist uniform aesthetics.

>>47263345
Since when were either of those forces "Marines" anyway? And for that matter, where are the Colonial Marines?

>>47258816
Could have a "natural armor" or have it effectively function as armor but call it Endurance points or something. I like the concept, makes it more realistic.

Making HP scale with level is pretty simple. Just go with you're better at taking the hits with the armor. While early on you might just tense your body when struck causing your armor to baldly dent with more experience you might relax a limb slightly or turn your body, turning a hard hit into a glancing scratch.

As for equivalent to health potions, you can't do too much unless you want to magic away damage. You could scavenge armor from foes you defeated without breaking every piece. Stabbed through the heart? Maybe the helmet is still mostly intact. Decapitation? Might be able to salvage the chest piece or at least the chain under it. Of course this all relies on the armor fitting.

>>47258816
So, say this was implimented in 5e D&D, your AC is instead how many Armor points you have, then hit die are converted to a simpler Wounds. At level one, a wizard has like 1-2 wounds where as a fighter at the same level has maybe 4-5. Once a creature takes a wound, they gain disadvantage till healed. Rolling to hit is based entirely on saves. Damage from weapons is converted to a more appropriate measurement for breaking armor and then damaging wounds. Certain weapins are better at damaging armor such as maces, some weapons have a greater chance to possible ignore armor altogather to cause a wound, based on weapin type and perhaps user skill. Eg, a crossbow bolt could target an unarmed body location to influct a wound at an increased DC. Some weapons when attacking an unarmed target do one extra wound, like dagger or something.

Oh, this. This was suppose to be a shrinking ray. All i got was a ray that turned organic beings into tiny blobs of meat.

Op here
(TL';DR come up with interesting weapon ideas that may or may not be feasible)

I've thought about adding a Whip launching gun in my setting for impaling or grappling enemy's

>Exotic weapon proficiency "Whip-Shot
>2d8 piercing damage
>30ft reach
>move action to reload or retrieve whip shot
>+2 to grapple maneuvers & feint attacks

Don't happen to have some brothers do you?

Depends on whether you call it magic or use a technobabble term.

I did a female voice once. Half the players at the table were gawking at me, one of the others was laughing and the last one had a very prominent blush on his face.

This is why I don't do voices any more.

That's when you do your Scarlett Johansson impression.

Pictured, tough female mercenary.

I joined a game without realizing that we were doing IC in voice chat (I'm used to OOC voice chat and IC text chat), where I had a signed up as an old witch.

I just said fuck it and did my best, and people had a good time. No one expects you to be a professional voice actor.

Blogpost on /tg/, it always works

Beyond that, I guess just keep an eye out for games, dude, maybe go to the LFG threads.

Oh shit, this is me all the time. I can never really be a player for stupid reasons too

Hate it when that shiit happens

I saw them the last time they played Download festival in the UK with their original lineup.

They mutilated an effigy of Queen Elizabeth II on stage and I got a gout of fake dogs blood right in my eye.

Then I met a dwarf (Squat?) who shared his amyl nitrate with me and the rest is history.

i think rogue deckbuilder is pretty ok, he says some stupid shit but overall he seems much less autistic then the other mtg youtubers

>>47255699
>Honestly he has good topics to talk about

He just does the same 3 topics over and over again.
>he rants about how standard is too expensive and speculators and card hoarders are ruining MtG, while sitting in front of a ceiling high stack of sealed product
>he talks about price spikes and what cards he is currently speculating on
>he talks about stolen MtG collections

Seems like an okay guy for an autist though

>>47256353
oh, and cheaters

he loves talking about cheaters
