Oh wow look at that we just had the entire thread in one post. Guess we can just fucking let it die now.

Seriously, stat me threads are some of the worst on /tg/, bar none. I wish the fucking jannies would see your off topic shitposting for what it is.

I would unironically use this as a mini. What do you call that sword?

AL has some issues.
PFS is nothing but issues.

5e also handles bad GMs and players better than PF does.

Would very strongly recommend AL unless you really fucking love playing PF with shitlords.

Haven't done AL yet, but PFS is frankly a shitshow. Either you play the standard version where practically every fucking splat released has something legal for play (good luck auditing those character sheets if you're GMing), or you play the "No Fun Allowed" core-only version. In either case, the scenarios are very much focused on the muderhoboing with little way to play strictly diplomatic characters, and the seasons have gone through so many changes that the timeline of events is a clusterfuck. Buying any magic items is draconian, and any cool character options (like races) are either outright banned or require you to attend a convention for a CHANCE of getting a boon that makes ONE character of that type legal for play. Not to mention all the old-guard veterans are some of the most obnoxious players, evident from the Paulo forums.

PFS can be fun if you're playing with fun people. There's three tables playing Saturday mornings locally, and I'll only sign up for tables with reasonable human beings and relatively low key autists. It's a fun enough time. If the only seats are with the mouth breathers , the anime portrait club, or the retards I'll find something else to do with my time.

Played about half a game some time last year. Group dissolved after maybe a dozen sessions but I enjoyed it while we played.

Anything stand out to you, positive or negative?

>>54822736
I enjoyed it. The flexibility in character creation was nice, since I'm used to more rigid or class-based systems as opposed to being able to pick features to create the character as I'd like. Concerning combat, I had issues that every combat seemed to be either completely unwinnable or a steamroll. A lot of enemies reduced flat damage from attacks you made, so there were times when less combat oriented or more defensive characters could contribute very little, but then one combat character specialising in high offense might smite down an immensely strong enemy with little effort. If you had a defensive enemy and defensive players combats very well might have lasted indefinitely.

The world was super interesting, although we didn't get a huge chance to see it. I'd like to revisit it sometime, maybe playing a more scholarly, less combat oriented type. I rolled with a defensive cleric of sorts, with a mix of holy and martial skills, which was impressively resilient but unfortunately could do little but soak damage and judge barbarians for not worshipping the right god.

What's wrong with a vanilla Big Bad Evil Guy? I usually fall prey to over-complicating my games, so it's nice to return to the roots once and awhile.

>>54822488
Don't make a level 20 BBEG, your campaign will not make it that high.

The race is actually the descendants of children formed from merpeople and humans, before those relationships were banned under the ruling of degeneracy. Honoring their ancestors, they sale the seas on their island, believing themselves to be the rightful rulers of land and sea.

I fell in love with those giant turtle-islands in D&D as a kid.

>>54822362
an accumulation of organic 'stuff' that came to the centre of an ocean gyre and kinda matted them with birds using it as a perch it got covered in guano then plants from the seeds the vines and roots holding it together. Now it just circles the innermost part of the gyre and sometime folk end up there leading to differernt village of folk from one race/religion/culture and mixed villages where they trade/party/scheme/murder each other. wooden weapons for th most part little armour except turtle shell/boiled leather/padded/wood(?). the plac e would have to ne large enough to sustain a few thousnd folk with fresh water coming from pools of rainwater & using glass/sunlight to boil water then collecting salt & the steam turning back to water. food would be mainly fish but also fungi farms/insect senpaitachi (crickets good, silk worms doble good). language would be archai/debased versions of home languages plus 1 or more pidgins/creoles. intervillage contest and councils would be handy for plot maybe a police force so you can have pc's be investigators.

Because the element of Earth was lost, magic is completely ineffective against metal. Thus, the most efficient way to deal with a mage is

1: Wear metal armor
2: Shove him in a locker

If earth magic disappeared when a library was destroyed I would assume it sucked ass since apparently nobody was using it in a world where literally everyone can use magic

As technology and metal take hold as the dominant force of the world, the mages find work to be increasingly more mundane and low paying. Helping sailors move water or summon wind, or working as a fuel source for machines if you're a fire mage, that sort of low quality, low appreciation jobs.

That is of course, unless you volunteer as an explorer of the Old Realm. It's a weird place for non-mages, so those magic folk are always welcome to chart it out and deal with whatever nasty thing tries to escape from it.

I know they are "streamers" and ostensibly rely on donations but trying to listen to it like a podcast is really annoying to have "Wait, I know we are in a fight but xxblackanglexx just donated 500 dollars to us, you know we really love you guys and all this praise is what keeps us going"

Kek. Although this image was brought up by a realism stickler as a "good" example of fantasy armor, I knew damn well there was plenty to gripe with, thus proving the point that it's totally "lifted out of a history book" that many such sticklers clamor for.

I personally don't mind some degree of silliness in fantasy designs,but it really depends on each specific case. Also, no explanation is better than an unconvincing explanation for those,

FIRST FOR ONE DAY REMAINS UNTIL CHAOS REIGNS

2nd for Slaanesh

>>54816805


Corrupted Versions of Palatine Blades and Phoenix Termies

Lucius the Eternal used to be a palatine Blade.
Could go with a Slaanesh Melee unit with Whip and Sword that are corrupted Palatine Blades

Could give the Phoenix Termies One-Handed Sonicblaster/Blastmaster

Noise-Bikers with back mounted Doom-Sirens

Cultists-equivalents that are running around with Whips and Daggers that can attack once more after they died

Daemonette Support Units in the style of Baroque masked courtesans with Violins and Harps

Don't forget Noise Terminators and Sonic Helbrutes, Doom Sirens on all Characters? Fuck yeah!

probably

GW probably got 'Eldar' from LOTR

>>54820903
I mean there was a theory about the Eldars bio-engineering the ethereal, who developed the Tau and their caste system
And one of their caste has a "fire warrior " unit
It has to be more than a coincidence

>>54820877

Wow.

I don't own any physical albums.
I don't exactly own the digital albums either.

>I don't exactly own the digital albums either.
You must be mistaken; surely you own the magnetic fields which reside on the hard disk that you own that form the instructions for how the speakers which you own should shape their vibrations in a particular pattern that is pleasing to the ear?

What other form of ownership is there?

>>54820710
And to answer your question, it doesn't get more RPG metal than this:

Bunch of dickheads who curse people that piss them off.

Dead, mostly, and the ones who aren't also aren't the sort to really care too much about mortal worshippers.

>>54820654
What the fuck are you trying to say?

The most recent /tg/ game I'd have to recommend is Pyre. Really fleshed out fantasy world, game is all about creating a party of weirdos and questing together (though instead of fighting, you're playing magic sports), and there's a huge amount of player choice and things you can do to change the course of the story (including just losing games).

>>54820673

I wouldn't really call pyre /tg/

Divinity Original Sin is quite good

>>54820745
I don't know, even though it may not be a traditional RPG, it's /tg/ in the sense that it focuses on world building, adventure, and player choice.

Tyranny is also a good, more traditional recommendation.

>>54820556
Dungeon Meshi is probably one of the better /tg/-esque mangas right now. As far as anime, I thoroughly enjoyed Log Horizon which while intended to be MMO-themed still fits pretty well for more traditional RPG formats (group of individuals with diverse abilities finding creative solutions to obstacles), with a nice dose of political intrigue and mystery which are really more befitting of /tg/ than /v/.

>>54820556
What exactly do you mean by "/tg/ flavored"? Are you looking for anything that seems like it could be a tabletop RPG campaign?

It's a couple of years out of date and it clearly doesn't select for quality, but it is something.
