I've never played Tarot, but have wanted to. How is it? For context, I've played quite a bit of Spades and some Hearts.

Waiting on a JJBA part 3 tarot deck, that shit would be perfect

Shieeeet son, I've spent all my college years and most of my high school playing this during lunch break.
Where're you from, by the way? Didn't know this was popular outside France.

The rules are simple, but the metagame takes a bit of getting used to. It's most fun when there's five players.
On the whole, I'd say it's not much fun if there's a clear skill gap between players, but I suppose that's true of most card games.

>"The original monk character class was created by Brian Blume, inspired by the fictional martial arts of the Destroyer series of novels.[2] The monk was introduced in 1975's Blackmoor supplement."

Shut the fuck up.
Besides - your faggot pugilist bullshit class can easily be a fighter or barbarian.

Eastern monks have always had an element of mysticism, which explains the inhuman feats they're able to accomplish.

A pugilist or brawler type just doesn't cut it.

D&D was never meant as a western medieval fantasy style game. From the very beginning, the creators pumped it full of every single sort of pulpy entertainment they were into, mixing things up as they went along.

I mean, look at the titles on Appendix N.

If Gary Gygax created D&D in more modern times, you could bet your ass that it would have stuff from wuxia movies, popular anime, videogames, all other sorts of shit that's popular now.

I don't see why not. Although I personally don't find most of them memorable, interesting or well designed.

You sound like you could use a hug.

Show us on the puppet where the GM touched you, anon.

To start us off, a few topics:

>Any stories of a recent session?

>What is your favorite consumable, including the ones in the splatbooks?

>What's your favorite NPC that you or somebody else has statted up?

As someone who's really familiar with 3rd and 5th edition D&D, what can you tell me about FantasyCraft?

I may consider giving it a purchase.

It's pretty similar to 3.5 on a very basic level, as it's a sort of rebuild from d20 OGL.

It's much more modular, and all classes are essentially Tier 3, using the Tier system that was applied to 3.5.

Classes are more balanced, it's possible to make Social characters that contribute in combat, or combat characters who can still socialize, as one example. An Origin system, which lets you select a species and a Specialty lets you select a package of useful benefits, so you can either hyper-focus or build up your weak points.

If you want to make a super strong fighter, but want them to be useful, you could go as the Soldier class, and take the Lord or Bard specialty, or the like.

Feats are DRAMATICALLY stronger, with few-to-no prerequisites. Here's one feat with pretty average power level:

FLAIL BASICS
Usually there’s a blur, and then a thunk, and then the fight’s over.
Prerequisites: Blunt forte
Benefit: Once per round you may make a free attack with a flail against an adjacent flat-footedcharacter. You suffer a –4 penalty with this attack. Also, you gain a stance.
Whirling Serpent (Stance): You gain a bonus with your melee attack checks and damage rolls equal to the number of successful melee attacks you made last round. Opponents may not Anticipate your actions and you may not take move actions (though you may still take Bonus 5-ft. Steps as normal).

Magic uses spellpoints and a Skill (Spellcasting), using the casting check for any sort of rolls that the spell might use (For instance, a to-hit roll, or the result of a Bull Rush check for things like Gust of Wind, which acts like a Bull Rush on multiple opponents.)

Spells are M.A.D instead of being S.A.D, Wisdom (and ranks in the Spellcasting skill) gives you more spells, Intelligence boosts your Spellcasting check, and Charisma dictates your Spell Save DC.

Did you have any questions in particular?

>I'm curious as to what might be perceived as the best class and some tips for basically becoming overpowered

You're playing traditional games for all the wrong reasons and should go back to video games.

In fact, she does - the long and short of it being that she's a Warlock that got captured and turned into a proper solider of the Imperium - but it'd be better for you to look for yourself.

Shit was awesome. Used to play it back in high school years ago. I *think* there's still a fair amount of people who still play it, especially if you go to conventions.

It still is one of the better multiplayer games I've ever played. Excellent time. You may want starters though, just to make sure you have a decent selection of vamps in faction concentrations.

>>46132774
Damn, I thought that a box would have more than enough commons to build playable decks, and that the starters were unnecessary.

Emmy for sure

I am so tired of having to defend myself against this constant gamist harassment on this board.

Then play something else or without them, you petty fuck.

Blue is supposed to suck at creatures, not get a common one-drop you can build a very effective deck around.

Did someone say succu-

-oh, wait, I'm assuming you want the "good" kind of interesting.

Go the Vampire Hunter D route and put a weird spell-eating mouth in his hand that always whispers about how much of a failure he is, reminding him of all the people he couldn't save, and how he should just succumb to the darkness already.

Dude, edgy Judge Dredd ripoffs lmao
