No more than potatoes.

Who cares, I'm not running an ERP so the players in my game aren't spending a whole lot of time being pregnant or worrying about that sort of thing.

usually clerics are a thing.

Unless you're playing a realistic pre-modern setting with no fantasy, in which case surely the dm would have done his homework?

Dumb fuck you need to specify what we are playing. It's DnD 5e

Also, I may put some nice DnD stories, they're pretty entertaining.

The tree is in bloom, its been fifty years since this last happened.
And it signifies the start of the grand tournament. Great warriors who are chosen by the mystical tree gather from across the world to do battle in a battle royale for the privilege of being chosen to enter the grove and meet God.

Does that mean someone fucked an aliens throat so hard it was rendered unconscious and pregnant?

Well, I guess if the baby manages to burst out of its chest the father must have been likewise totally fucking absurd.

I can't pick favorites, but I think I can help at least.

If I'd have to pick one favorite, I'd say maybe Apocalypse World and the related Powered by the Apocalypse Games. They're focused on character dynamics and doing fast paced games with little to zero prep time. It takes a very specific kind of GM style to make it work, and it's rather newbie friendly (most of what you need is just straight on the character sheets). And as a result /tg/ thinks it is the devil The original game is post apocalyptic but others handle different settings and genres, though they all play similarly with the same system skeleton. I like Monster of the Week for stuff like Buffy & Supernatural.

Maid RPG and Teenagers From Outer Space are both anime inspired games but they're made specific for comedy. It's great fun to have a oneshot of one of these as a sort of break between more serious games or just for something low prep and casual.

ORE, or one role engine is something to look into you want something different in terms of mechanics. Instead of standard number results or successes, you match nice together, which gives both the result on whether or not you succeeded and details about how you do it: mainly like speed, damage, or where an attack hits, all in one roll. There's different systems that work under it, like a couple super hero based ones and Nemesis, which is my personal favorite system for horror rpgs.

I've also grown really fond of Savage Worlds recently. I don't think it really does anything special, but it's a very flexible system you can use for all sorts of genres that I think it hits a nice sweet spot in customization and tactical stuff and being easy to understand and quick to make characters for. Savage Worlds Deluxe Explorer's Edition is only $10, so it's great for games in meat space with other people since it's easier for everyone to get their own copy. There's also A LOT of different settings and free online material for it.

The dude should have more common sense than to do what he did

Also, secure your shit.

you're all to blame for doing this stupid shit honestly, but at least you've got a story to tell /tg/ about I guess..

>playing with swords

You all should have had more sense

Burn the bodies of the fallen, from both sides, to ash wherever possible. Make sure that they can't be raised or reanimated endlessly.

Holy warriors. Solved.

>Aside from this what other special precaution does one need to take when fighting the undead?

-Crossbows and arrows are shit because of the lack of vitals and more often than not, just leave them as walking pin cushions.
-Some undead can spread disease, so fire can be useful to destroy flesh/clean the ground (be careful using it as a weapon because they can still move for a long time before succumbing and fire hurts you too)
-Priests and clerics should spend most of their time blessing weapons in oil or water to help eliminate the resistences the undead have.
-Necromancers and other dark casters deserve priority because the battle line can collapse if the undead don't receive constant guidance.
-While passing untouched graves, order men to dig up bodies and make pyres for them.
-Pursuit over land is impossible with a battle line or caravan and only makes you weak ( you need supply trains for food and need to stop for rest, which your opponent does not). Chasing your opponent only stretches the resources thin and makes you easier to disassemble piecemeal.
-Many undead servants don't have use of metal weapons or human dexterity. Soldiers should be issued with mail and plate without exception, preferably with blunt weapons opposed to spears or pikes.
-train you men to work with human remains on a daily basis, so as not to cause panic when confronted with moving corpses.
-Never engage in a close battle, even a reasonable victory means defeat in a long campaign. You can't replenish your losses as quickly and draining your resources is the same as giving them to your opponent.
Make fights unfair, use terrain, numbers, mounts and strategic positioning your friend. -Your enemy cant micromanage as well as you can and are forced to work harder instead of smarter. The big advantage your troops have is their independent thought and brain. If you win a battle it will be thanks to the individual soldier.

I still have a decent size collection of 2.0 miniatures.

I remember playing a lot of draconum. Good times, it's shame it didn't sell well.

It's so sad this game isn't played more. I loved the minis in middle school.

>>46658929
I still have all my old solonavi figs. They were just started to become viable when Nexus arrived.

Why did it die out again?

Bump.

I'm really drawing a blank here, guys.

The King Deity is in a coma but that is kept hidden.
some of the gods are actively working to keep him that way so they can grow more powerful.

Sacrifice/Avarice

God of Sacrifice is concerned with the noble ideal, that people should always be willing to give to others and concern not with themselves. Favored by heroics and paupers, although others are concerned about being taken advantage of or having nothing left for themselves.

God of Avarice is concerned with it's own benefit, passionately working towards doing what it can for greater reward. In a positive light they seem focused and willing to work hard to gain what they can. In a negative light they are considered thieves and liars, always trying to steal from others for themselves.

My Weird boy once suffered a nasty case of Perils, So I acted out a moment where me the player and him switched placed for a few seconds

>>46658399
I was running a long campaign divided in smaller arcs where I made my players make their initial characters for the first arc, but then I forced them to switch to other premade characters that were related to the plot in some other way.
Playing neutral at first, they switched to the "bad guys", then to the good guys, etc... But I always forced the switches when the "plot gets good", giving the players more questions than answers.

While playing one of the middle arcs, one of the players got access to a document with profiles of various characters, their backstories, details of his powers and how to "dispose" of them. He got desperate and begged me to check out on his old character and what happened to him, but I didn't allow him to do such because his character at the moment had no reason to know that name nor be interested in him.
Yet his character "heard" him, and checked out that name, to his own misfortune.

It was a strange campaign, NPCs would react negatively to what players said OOC, PCs wouldn't follow player's orders if they did something that went against their "core", or get more power if they were played accordingly. Yet the usage of a hidden humanity stat had some interesting results during narrative.

Lawful neutral. Rorschach is not good.

>>46658137
Lawful Neutral. A good man would act outside of his own philosophies if he found himself in conflict, in a manner that was best given the situation. A good man can find compromise in the face of Armageddon.
Rorschach exists as a kind of Hyper Lawful alignment where greater good and lesser evil are irrelevant, so long as he is acting according to his own specific rules, without compromise.

>>46658137
Chaotic Neutral. He ignores society's laws and follows his own sense of justice -- wherever it leads.

Throw an NPC in that offers them a crazy choice so the PC's need to discuss it thoroughly

>>46657853
Your mine isn't just straight tunnels, is it?

Try thowing in some caverns, waterfalls, staircases, rope bridges, abandoned machinery, unexploded explosives, cave fish, artificial crevices for workers to run to when using explosives, old lamps, that sort of thing.

>>46657853
Think about how the trees could be strange/creepy.

Think about why the mine was abandoned.

Look up pics on google image like the one in your OP, use those for scenes.

>>46657564
Well there's the anti-warp device powered by screaming tortured psyker souls, and the time a haemonculus flayed a noble, cut them apart, brought them back to life, nailed their bits to the ceiling and forcibly kept them alive as a sack of meat in constant agony. That was fun.

Fabulous Bill was trained by them

They fixed the Golden Throne. That's not that disturbing in itself, but they're going to come collecting at one point.

>always comes back
Not if it hits something.

Boomerangs are fairly terrible weapons, and this is from someone who thinks that boomerangs are neat.

>always comes back
If you think that all boomerangs always come back, or ones designed to hunt game are the same as returning boomerangs, then I don't think you understand much of anything about them.

Anyways, the reason that elves generally use bows is Tolkien. A more general reason is that bows are a common war weapon, and so to use something effective, elves use bows. Halflings typically have training in slings, after all, but nobody in their right mind bothers with slings past the first few levels. Even the +1 to hit isn't going to convince someone to use an extremely worse weapon.
