I'd say burn 10000. I gotta say though I think about about this idea for certain magic cards all the time desu.

Whoa this card is really good.

'sup you faggot puma

It's probably not the best way, but you could just stream it through Twitch or something.

I've looked for a solution to this too

So unless you want to buy and setup a shoutcast or whatever, the best way to do it is unfortunately a youtube sharing site.

Here's an idea, use the youtube/gif combiner site, one of the ones that doesn't show the video.

Wingtip glasses are the female fedora

>>46158991
I know nothing about them.

Please enlighten me.

>>46157888
Yes. There's one in the sample setting chapter. She's fat, ugly, self-centered and takes out her frustration on the world.

So, basically, a fedora with a vagina.

Power is entirely relative. There is no such thing as too high power as long as the setting is such that you can still be challenged and have to struggle to achieve your goals.

In a game my character eventually ended up as a mother-demigod of life, gaining immense power, but also incredible responsibilities. And because the GM was smart, a lot of that power was fluff and utility, tied up in the characters role in the world, so I still fought on the same level as the rest of the party (who were all roughly equivalently awesome, albeit in different ways) when we did battle together.

Played magneto in a 400 point Champions game. Through some fuckery with the stats and power pools (and he GM buying my (honest) misinterpretation of the rules) I could have 0 endurance cost telekinesis (ferrous metals) (fine manipulation) at a strength of 250(25 trillion metric tons) for 39 points. Add in that I added insane hypersonic flying, nearly invincible force fields, automatic deflection, metal detection, entangle, and 100m teleportation (free action) to that power pool I was pretty much invincible. Since I only spent like 150 on the power pool I still had 250 left over for stats, armor, cheap martial maneuvers, skills, and perks I pretty much won the game.

First session you let the players run through a few villages and let them realize how OP their characters are. End of first session you then slap their shit in by someone else who is a nobilis. Then play politics for 13 sessions in a row and watch every combat=fun player leave the game.

>>46156148
My understanding is that you buy it and put it on a shelf for 6 months then you read it an think "This has some cool ideas mixed into the weird anime god and goddess bullshit. I can make this work!" Then you try to get a group together with your home brewed setting but nobody else knows anything about Nobilis so you end up GMing Pathfinder and looking longingly at the Nobilis book on your shelf.

Nobilis is the best game you'll never play. It's a gorgeous, artistic masterpiece of RPG design which doesn't really work as an actual game.

>I want to avoid people being upset if they get a responce from my environment that they could get away with in an RPG.
So you literally want 0 consequences.

You are strange, and might possibly be a robot. That's cool though, because I like robots.

But really, as far as "things to make players realize it's an actual world and not just a computer simulation," all you need to do is have everyone react like people do.

Stab the innkeeper? Explain that the other people in the inn will call the guards and they'll be arrested, and it's not a good idea.

Being as direct as possible tends to be the best way of communicating with new players. Subtlety can come later.

>>46155798
Heh good point.

I'd just like to avoid conflict. I'll do Session 0 and talk setting out but I think such things may come handy too.

>>46155800

>Subtlety can come later.

Roger. makes lots of sense.

What's the difference between this and IRC?

>>46155620
Easier to setup and to synchronize on several devices. You can also read the conversation history while you were away.

It's not so different from IRC.

I'll wait for a link.

As long as you don't sell them, it is my firm belief that you're allowed to do as you please with your property, so no, you're dodgy but not scum.

Casting is basically another hobby again - it's super fun and pretty rewarding.

As far as the ethical and moral issues of recasting go its pretty much just based around personal use. i.e. just don't sell them.

Myself I make miniatures and models out of all sorts of unusual things, mostly because I enjoy it, and partly because I paint like a colour blind with parkinson's.

Revived.

If it doesn't look like they're going where thing X is, but you really want them to see it, move X to wherever they actually go.

Really trying to not be an ass here...

But this is literal first grade shit. Do like anon said and move the thing, or provide interesting clues leading to X, or shift around the dungeon so it happens naturally, or make noises coming from X room...

Like seriously? If you can't think of how to do this on your own, you shouldn't be in charge of a collective creative story. Leave the GMing to someone with an ounce of creativity.

Im srunk right now

>>46154384
check out all the class handbooks
kits are the bomb

Spider Farm on Dragonsfoot can be run with 2E. Runs okay and is a nice module to drop in to start players off with.

Houserules? Hmm. Not sure. But don't throw everything at the game first session. Maybe introduce weapon speeds to initiative when you have a handle on the system. Same for weapon vs armour type.

Don't allow any and every single splatbook. Create a campaign world/idea and provide a selection of choices for that world.

You can keep 2E BECMI Redbox simple and dial it up with the "optional" bits in the PHB.

>>46154411
Ooo can you recommend me a few, the fighter book

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iz-RmSG2s1k
Fits pretty well.

>>46154488
Thanks, but I was going for things that weren't obviously sexual or romantic, and that could be construed as just a creepy guy. I found these, but would like more examples.

In all seriousness, rings represent word and promise. Wedding bands are lifelong contracts, seals are the marks of noblemen on their agreements. A ring is binding, its unending loop representing unbroken oath.

>>46153871
You can have 10 10th-level Spells ready for casting whenever you want.

well i can only speak about nordic-ish cultures but rings were often given out by a jarl(king-ish/warlord guy) to his semi-important underlings.
it was both a sign of office, a contract, and worst case scenario an emergency stash of cash on your hand XD (im oversimplifying it here)

The interesting thing about Bloodborne's Bloodtinge is that the quicksilver bullets are sourced from the great one Oedon, so it might make more sense to make a Bloodtinge gunslinger a warlock/rogue hybrid - they make a pact with some higher power who provides them with the ability to extract blood bullets from themselves by sacrificing hitdie which they can then use to stop enemies from attacking for a round as a free action, they can then mix their blood (at the cost of XP) with the blood of slain beasts and foes to further empower their melee weapons outside of combat, adding damage and special modifiers.

You could also steal the old planescape thing the doomguard could do called "entropic strike" (but renamed visceral strike or something similar), which would allow you, on a round where you've stunned them with a blood bullet and with a successful attack roll that exceeds the opponents AC by 5 or more, to instantly halve the opponents HP.

>>46153802
Reminds me of the Blood Hunter homebrew. Not sure which I prefer, though. Yours has potential.

>>46153802
I think you should provide an option for the Bloodtinge Gunslinger to sacrifice health directly rather than hit die, if they wish, because, while it may be less costly immediately, it can really fuck you over if you run out of hit die. That means, if you take damage, no healing for you when you take a rest. On top of that, characters only regain a number of hit die equal to HALF their level per long rest.
Sometimes it's better to take damage now and heal it later, but I feel there should still be a choice.

They are cut down and their property is taken.
