We need players for a Skype DnD thats basically GuP with ships.

The Navy Game involves high degrees of autism, both from the players and the mechanics.

The setting is an alternate history where aliens attacked during WWI, and WWII was instead the people of earth fighting this enemy. We start off in PRESENT DAY, so we have modern technology, however for the purpose of the game all the combat takes place using WWII and earlier ships, firearms, and costs (The US dollar is worth the same that it was worth in the 1940's).

Game time goes presently from 6:00pm to Midnight for UTC -5 (+DST). Refer to World Clock to figure out when that is for you.

If you are new to DnD, that's completely fine, just don't be an asshole all the time.

-There will be memes, and lots of them.
-You can waifu characters, and if there isn't a waifu for you, the DM knows how to make one for you*.
-You can rise through the Naval ranks as far as your abilities will take you.
-You are playing as yourself RIGHT NOW, so if you've got real life talents such as military training or even knowing how to cook, you can find a position aboard.
*DM is not God, and can not in fact make a perfect waifu for you if you are literal human garbage and a waste of oxygen.

Good afternoon, /tg/!

A few days ago I posted a thread asking for help in filling out a pantheon of gods for a setting that I'm working on.

After getting a few suggestions I decided to limit the pantheon to a very manageable five gods, arranged in a seasonal cycle.

Now, though, I need to give them names! The culture that the players are going to belong to is very Viking-inspired, with elements of the pagan Celts.

The five gods are as follows:

The God of Time is also the god of Knowledge, Magic, and Justice. He is the King of the Gods and the Father of Men. As the Hub of the Wheel, his power doesn't wax and wane with the turning of seasons.

The God of Life is also the god of Earth, Planting, Fertility, and Passion. She is strongest in the Spring, when all is green and growing.

The God of War is also the god of Fire, Honor, Art, and Skill. He is strongest in the Summer, when blood runs hot.

The God of Death is also the god of Wind, the Harvest, Wealth, and Wisdom. She is strongest in the Fall, when things begin to fade.

The God of Peace is also the god of Water, Diplomacy, the Dead, and Luck. He is strongest in Winter, when the world is barren.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!

What system would you use if you wanted to run a high school slice of life campaign?

Hey guys.

I'll host a fantasy game in a few hours and need some random tables. Enemies, dungeons, items, traps, goods. Anything you have.

Can you help me out?

Thanks.

Hello /tg/

Bare with me for a second, i'm gonna GM a campaign with Pathfinder, but I don't really feel like the system is good for what I want to do.

You see, i always found Pathfinder (and D&D) a system that fares relatively poor in giving the players options to either avoid combat or make it easier with strategy and cunning.
Generally, the greatest exaple of strategy is to try and get he option that gives you the biggest bonus so that ou can beat the monster's AC.

So I am tryng to come up with a new system that allows a more strategic take to battle.

First of all, in my campaign, monsters and the like will be somewhat rare (the main enemies will either be humans or humanoids) but generally a much highet threat for the party, with higher CR.
But, my idea is to give each monster some kind of weakeness that the party can exploit to win by studyng the enemy, find documents about it, laying traps and basically preparing to win the fight with the least amount of combat possible, since assaulting a creature head on would most likely end up in death or severe wounds.

Another point is kitting every monster with some kind of weak points. Part of the body that, if stricken, allow a character to bypass DR or score an automatic critical hit (i.e. when fighting a Wyvern, hitting the soft belly instead of the scaly back would bybìpass DR, while trying to land a difficult shot at the eye might be an insta-crit)


what are other good idea i could use to implement this?

bear in mind that for this kind of fights, I want them to fast and brutal, where recklessness almost always leads to unfortunate outcomes.

Also may or may not be an idea i came up with to teach my murderhobo players the virtues of patience and safety

>Goddess of fertility makes human impregnation impossible for the next fifteen years due to reasons.

What would be the realistic consequences of this action over the course of those fifteen years on society as a whole? Assuming humanity does not know that it has a fifteen year time limit.

I don't mind half-orcs, gnomes or elves. I even have a soft spot for tieflings. But I fucking hate dragonborn.

Maybe it's because they were elevated to best race for any class in 4e. Maybe it's because they look stupid. Maybe it's because dragons are supposed to be the most magical, terrifying awe-inspiring creatures you'll find in D&D, and you shouldn't make them into a playable race. I just can't imagine an adventuring party hooking up with a dragonborn. You wouldn't travel with a lizardfolk, would you? Fuck dragonborn.

http://www.mtggoldfish.com/metagame/pauper

>BUT I WANT TO SEE ALL VIABLE DECKS!
http://tappedout.net/users/fruuty/deck-folders/

>Which rules should I follow?
If you don't already have some homebrew version with friends, follow the MTGO card pool and banlist (and please spread this to your friends that start playing with you). Currently the only place Pauper is officially supported by Wizards is online, and they have a card pool and banlist, therefore that is the format we should be using offline on paper as well, since decks and cards can transfer to games between each other with no confusion.

>WAHHH THATS TOO HARD WHERE...
http://www.mtg-hunter.com
The bottom left has a box, select MTGO Pauper, all cards in the card pool and banlist are taken into account.

>What deck should I use?
Ask in the thread!

>Is MTGO worth it?
If you have no local paper competition, but want to play a vast amount of Pauper, it can't be beat, even if it is a clunky GUI, you learn quickly.

Some good decks for newbies include but are not limited to:
>Burn
>Elves
>Goblins
>Stompy
>Slivers
>Affinity
>Mono U control
>UB Teachings

Do you dudes have any traits or characteristics that appear over multiple characters?

In terms of design I like to shoehorn prosthetic limbs wherever I can. Also I like to have an obscured face but that's just because we draw our characters and I really hate drawing faces

Hexagonal Grids are the best grids. This is a scientific fact.
