Blue board.

Tell me about the strangest things your characters have ever cooked, /pfg/!

Run out of chicken and substituted frogs? Made dumplings with mosquito-paste filling? Fermented owlbear milk used to make a cream icing for a pastry?

As an additional note, if you want to roll multiple times over the course of multiple posts, go ahead! We're going to need more than a few rolls to determine what your background was prior to embarking on a life of crime.

Well, you can definitely colour me excited, I honestly love the SBG game system and would love to get into it.

I hope that there is a resurgence in this; they really made a wonderful system for small units and heroes. Does anyone have good stories from the games they've played of LotR SBG that they'd like to share?

holy shit wot?

Mainly MAD.

They just rely on too many different stats with too few early level strengths.

>>46488591
4e and 5e made their unarmed finessed, with dex to damage to boot.

If we just gave the 3.P version that, maybe Agile Manuevers as a bonus feat as well considering it needs strength for that too, would trimming Strength out of the mix fix the MAD enough for it to be viable again, or would it still be ineffectual? It would at least be on par with paladin MAD-wise, at two physicals and a mental.

>>46488697
Isn't there also some conflict between all that mobility and needing to stand still to flurry of blows?

In this world, the most valuable resource is a mineral called tenebrium which is essentially magical uranium. However despite common belief, it does not occur naturally and only shows up in areas of great strife and violence. The BBEG is a wealth industrialist who wants to keep starting wars to grow more tenebrium. He hired the party at first to make them unknowingly contribute to escalating tensions between two nations.

He's a crusty old shaman who's out for revenge. He got a vision one day from his spirit guide that foretold the apocalypse. He opted to spread the word to the people of the land, and was generally believed. A period of strife followed as the tribes panicked and fought each other to make sure they were most likely to pull through notRagnarok. When the world didn't explode, the shaman was tracked down, tortured, and exiled for his "false" visions.

Fast forward 20 years and he's back, having turned his back on his people's traditional pantheon and signed on with a vengeful, sealed god. He's currently reenacting an old apocalyptic prophesy as cover while he summons his new god into the world.

Elaborate

Quote the Book of Five Rings at random times.

You 'make love to fair maidens', you do not pig-fuck sluts behind the inn.

Be intelligent and introspective.

Also stab people to death.

Not everyone hates their life as much as you do, OP.

Man, why are there so many inflammatory 0-reply posts today?
This is like the 5th one I saw sinking into the mists.
Is someone doing mass bait?

>>46487868
It was literally made less than two minutes before you posted.

I still stand by the argument m&m is the definitive supers rpg.

And street level is way more fun than higher levels imo, always seems to invite more creative powers, for example in a campaign my group previously played our team consisted of
>Zombie Punisher
>An electrical conduit who could only electrify metal objects
>A roller skating cyborg
>The world's fastest origami master

I like Worlds in Peril when I want to keep close to the comic book feel.

With his group of friends and allies expanding further and further, Dyrus and his grandfather prepare for their journey East through the Southern coastline.

Upon their brand new, ultra-fast boat, seized from the recently-captured Alfred, Rene's friends, family, and comrades leave the recently-captured Holmstead, as well as the impending second attempt at advancement into Noba, in the capable hands of the Coastal region's forces, hurrying along to the archipelago's northernmost island for a Directors' meeting with the Emperor.

Samson, in the small town of Alder, sighs, feeling crowded in the inn his father is practically bleeding gold to keep his and Millicent's family put up in until he can find a better bit of housing. He pets his cat, Tiltyu, idly, preemptively sore for yet another day of being trained for fighting he's certain he's not really built for. This prospective point in time takes place before word has reached his current location of Holmstead's fall, but he will learn of it here.

>A. Be Dyrus
>B. Be Rene

>C. Be Samson
Dyrus and Rene got the last two threads, I believe.

>>46487465
What matters more than an explicit pattern to me is that all three of them have had one of every three threads.

What game is this? Shadowrun?

>>46487185
D&D. Playing 5e if it matters, but I don't mind converting items from previous editions.

Deck of Many Things
I'm kidding, please don't do that. A Rod of Wonder is always fun though, especially if you throw in your own effects to the table. Just make one of the entries make it vanish without a trace.

>Have fun, don't be an autist, and keep your cool.

Let's assume that Thrall dies fighting Mannoroth. Grom may also die, but that's optional. Who takes over as warchief? What are the consequences?

>>46487159
Cairne would probably earn the respect of the Trolls and less bloodthirsty Orcs and lead them away.
The ones who just want war would probably go full retard and turn against Jaina and her soldiers as soon as they can, furthering the difficult relations.

Don't make stats. If he doesn't have stats, he can't be killed.
On a serious note, make him at least interesting enough to not be marked "shoot on sight" by the team's murderhobo.

You can introduce a rival or minor antagonist without even having them there. Have him do something in your world that the players won't like, whether it be competition with the group or sabotage. I wouldn't go too overboard though.

You can also try introducing him in a situation where attacking him would be really unfavorable and easy to fail, like for instance a bustling town square, or while the party is incapacitated.

>>46486801
The trick is to make sure you do so without making your player's feel like you're railroading them/cheating them out of their accomplishments/undoing their success just to keep a character you like alive.

The simplest way is to give them a sure-fire escape during encounters and just hope your players don't roll high enough to stop them or kill them before they leave.

Another option is to give this villain a way to respawn after the party kills them, like phylacteries, other villains who can revive them later, or clones/body doubles, etc. This allows your party to murder the villain again and again to their heart's content without losing that villain permanently, and they might even get some entertainment out of a recurring sidequest to find the secret of the villain's respawning and eliminate it permanently.

Additionally, you could make a quirky miniboss squad to fill the recurring villain role, allowing the party to knock off a few at a time while the group comes back at them again and again for revenge, letting you build up multiple recurring bad guys and bounce them off of each other.

Their battle music increases in awesomeness by at least 10-fold

>>46486604
Poorly. Rangers work in teams of seven at the most, they'll never be able to field the numbers needed to fend off the Imperium's enemies.

Good gods! It's about time somebody other than me started to notice the smell! It's bad enough trying to breath in here with the deathly smell that wafts up from the loin clothes of most of our local barbarians, let alone everything else in here!

>>46486452
By the way. Does anybody know how all these Goblins are keeping fed? I think it might be the all the fungus growing in the on the floor in the bathroom, but I was under the impression those were poisonous?

Also, I just want this to be pointed out, but this WHOLE THING could have been avoided if we'd simply CLEANED THE DAMN PLACE UP MONTHS AGO!!!

We had a racist use for Deep Gnomes. They were slaves, and most of the NPCs that owned them had an extremely thick southern accent. Later, we discovered that the gnomes were a chief ingredient in "Kelcet's Fried Chicken" food. Was a pretty fun side story.

>>46486558

We did the same thing, but with run-of-the-mill black gnomes.

>>46486276
Currently, the campaign world has no gnomes. That said, I could imagine them being another off-shot race of Natives -- currently, elves, orcs, and goblins, divided into various subraces based on ancient tribes -- that would probably live deep beneath the earth and end up dealing with the People of the Spider, the setting's equivalent of Drow which are currently assumed by most to just be a tall tale used to explain the actions of goblins. Though they look as drow might if it wasn't a divine curse that altered their appearance but rather their environment: pallid, translucent skin and hair as white as milk, as well being functionally blind in bright light.
