No longer an MTG lore thread (though lore discussion is still quite welcome), it is quite clear that this is the snowstorm thread.
Post your flakes! Write your stories! Make a grand plot worthy of Tolkien himself!
Previously on the FLAKE THREAD:

REMINDER:
If you want ANYTHING to go in the repo, just summon me. Otherwise I will only put writefagging and sheets in the repo.
Also, I added the blank template to the ALL FLAKESHEETS folder.

It's a wonder why people still try to do other things.
A Song of Ice and Fire DnD/RPG/Quest Thread: Beta 2.0 test
Created by JONSNO, Ornstein, and Ash, with special thanks to the other memes that occupy the GoB chat
This game is a text-based, player-driven RPG set in George R R Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire Universe. A story is set up by the OP, and is played through by any number of players, with the maximum decided upon by the OP.
>Getting Started
To claim a spot, link a post stating you're doing so to the OP or the latest update. Your next step is to make a character. Follow the following template:
- Name
- Age
- Birthplace/Hometown
- Job/Position
- Weapons and equipments (can be anything, but can only provide a total bonus of 5 points)
- House/Faction (You can belong to any house, but if you belong to a major noble house you will have to be either a bastard or just be working for that house as whatever it is you are. No story specific characters; ie. Lords, kings, or any factions OP denies for story purposes from the start)
- Goal/Quest (Leave it blank and I will assume the character is free to do just about anything that is still relevant to the character.)
- Prefered Starting location (This is entirely up to where OP places you to give you a chance to team up with other characters, but if you are more of a loner character, he will have a better idea where to place you if you have a preferred location.)
- Short Description of the characters looks

Stats
>See chart
>Flow of the game
At the start of each turn, the OP will provide an update. These updates contain replies from NPCs and results of your roll. To roll for an action, link to the update and formulate your action like this
Player>Action(Stat, specialization)
A roll of 7 will always be a success, with a 5 or 6 succeeding on mundane actions at OP's discretion. A roll of 0 is a critical success, and a roll of 1 is a critical failure. Other gets receive bonuses decided on by OP. A successful roll gives +1 to the stat it used, and a critical success gives +2. A critical failure gives -1. Stats cannot be negative.
For every 5 skill points a stat has invested in it, it receives a mastery point. This mastery point can be donated to any of the 3 specializations of the corresponding stat, with a maximum of 4 per specialization. Each mastery point gives a +1 to every roll using that specialization. Each stat can grow to give a maximum of 8 mastery points.
Also, sign every post with your character name, stat spread, and equipment bonuses.
>Equipment
Equipment is any item your character carries that provides a bonus to specializations. Each piece of equipment adds an amount of bonus points to a related specialization up to its maximum of 4. Adding equipment, however, does not take away from the stat's 8 mastery point maximum.
Valyrian steel doubles the growth and reduction rate of all stats, ie. a successful roll will increase skill points by 2, a 1 will decrease skill points by 2, a 0 will increase by 4.
>>47258050
claim
>>47258070
In addition, you must also roll for initial skill points. A roll of 2-3 gives 5 points, 4-5 gives 10 points, 6-7 gives 15 points, 8-9 gives 20 points, and a 0 gives 25 points. If you roll a 1, you can roll again. If you choose not to roll, you can take 10 points. You can distribute the skill points you rolled for among the stats available.
>Money
Money and economy play an important role in the world of ASoIaF. Money has the following values:
10 copper pennies == 1 copper star
50 copper stars == 1 silver stag
100 silver stags == 1 gold dragon
A player may start the game with any number of money up to and including 20 stags.
>Duels
A roll between two player characters, or a player character and an NPC with stats is treated as a duel. A single roll judges the outcome of this conflict, but the roll is interpreted differently. First, the roll must succeed normally with the appropriate stat bonuses. This determines whether or not the action is performed properly. Then, the total value of the roll of the attacking player (raw roll + bonuses) must be higher than the roll of the opposing party, plus their own bonuses. Even if the opposing party did not roll the same stat as the attacking player, the stat used by the attacker is used for this check. This check determines whether or not the performed action affects the other party as desired.
However, two characters in the same vicinity, whether they be player characters or NPCs, can speak with one another or cooperate without rolling to duel if they are in the same vicinity. All interactions can only occur between players in the same vicinity.
So tomorrow I'm going to have around ~$180 of spending money on whatever the fuck I want because bills are paid and groceries are bought. I want to try to get into a sci-fi tabletop game but I don't know where to start. I don't have much time to devote to stuff like painting and stuff, so that's almost off the table. I'm not saying that I wouldn't try it though.
I do have a local gaming store, been there a couple times and the owner is a pretty cool dude. Sparked my interest in tabletop, but I never had the money. Now that I have a little bit of spending cash, I thought "might as well."
So, /tg/, where should I start?
Pic related, roughly where my painting skills would be at this current moment.

>I don't have much time to devote to stuff like painting and stuff, so that's almost off the table.
Maybe you should think about if you'll have time for tabletops then, anon.
Are you looking for a pen-and-paper game? Board games? I assume not miniatures, since you said you'd prefer not to paint. "Tabletops" is a pretty vague topic.
>>47253390
Miniatures would be cool, but my pen-and-paper days are over and I never got into board games.

How does /tg/ feel about furry races?
>>47245793
Liked when portrayed well (mouseguard) and I hear Ironclaw/jadeclaw are nice, /tg/ approved systems.
If it's got a snout, it's out.
Ears and tail, feel free to rail.
I find them more interesting than elves and dwarves and so on, simply because they often feel like not!human caricatures instead of anything that's unique or worth putting in a setting.
But this is 4chan, so get ready for a barrage of negative comments. Yiff in hell and so on and so forth.
I'm sorry, i only had a general image with chicken edition.

You are the former United States Navy warship USS HOEL, now returned as a shipgirl and ready to kick Abyssal ass!
"And, honest to god, I get into an honest to god sword fight with her!" You laugh through the special phone Anna had given you.
"Fucking seriously?" Woel groans from the other end of the line. "Shit, I wish I was there to see that!"
"Yeah, me too." You sigh. "But man, Kidd's a real piece of work, ya know? She's been patrolling up and down the entire northeast coast for three whole fucking months and nobody realized!"
"How the hell is that possible?" Your Abyssal opposite asked in confusion. "Aren't the coasts supposed to be heavily protected?"
"Yeah, well, most of the Navy patrols are our beyond visual range of the coast." You explain. "And any civvies that saw her assumed she was already part of the Navy and never reported her."
"Weird."
"Yeah."
"Still, I wish I was there... or anywhere, really." Woel sighed, not even trying to hide her frustration.
"What, you don't like the Queen Mary?" You blink.
"Oh no, Mary's super nice and all, taking me in like this!" Woel insists. "Hell, she even got me a job here!"
"Oh?" A grin creeps across your face. "What kinda job?"
"...that's none of your business." Woel said defensively.

Which class can make the best use of stupidly high Charisma? The GM for a kingdom-building game is allowing custom race rules up to 40 RP, and I want to max out Charisma to be a ruler.
Can an oracle (AC, Focused Trance) or a sorcerer (better save-or-lose spells) make better use of extremely high Charisma?

Home. Home was across an ocean, on a different continent in the middle of nowhere…. and really wasn’t anything special. Heligoland base wasn’t home. But it was close enough, and for the Marine squadrons in Europe, it was where we went back to at the end of the day, if you came back at all. But, here you were, still in one piece. You’re tired and about ready to snap, sure, but you are alive. Tea Drinking Station might not be the most luxurious or safest place to be deployed, but it sure as hell beat slumming in the FOB’s with the poor fuckers in the Army. At least you could count on a cot and some serious drinking tonight.
You and Foss staggered out of your Avenger with half muffled swears and a bit of disgust as you finally got to experience the stench of dried and fried BETA up close. Flakes of dried blood actually got inside the cockpit itself as it opened. Pam would probably make you wash your Avenger down too, and boy, you weren’t looking forward to that. Fucking Pam. Now that you were outside, you had the whole picture of just what the hell your machine looked like after that battle, and boy, did it look rough.
Bits of paint were scraped off from shrapnel and fragments of Destroyer carapace that had impacted it, but the armor is still pretty much pristine and untouched. Not a scratch had made it through to do anything more than a bit of superficial damage here and there. The cockpit and one of your Avenger’s arms was entirely covered in that red-purple color BETA blood dried into, thick and still smelling like garbage even a few hours after the fact. Bits and chunks of BETA were stuck to it too, and looking down towards the feet you could see something oozing out from under one of them.
>>47238762
“I should tell Pam that she should see what happened to the other guy,” you grumble to Foss, before clapping your RIO on the back and making a beeline to try and escape the hanger before that force of nature known as a pissed off crew chief made herself present. Foss was going to have to deal with that himself, you needed to get either some caffeine, real food, or a shower. Or all three at fucking once before you could even function properly as a human being. Everything else could wait.
