Hey, it's that YouTube guy.
What would make /tg/ watch a live gaming stream? Or even a YouTube recording?
Trials/how to play's of new games/old classics/obscure specialist games?
Impressive roleplaying? Wacky hijinks? Good jokes?
Impressive knowledge of rules/System mastery?
Convenient streaming time?
Familiar faces? Star power?
Nothing? Perhaps this is a fading trend.
Audio actual plays have far more versatility. I listen to them coming to and going to work.
For videos, there needs to be some sort of involvement, but not too much. I don't want to watch sweaty nerds from one angle for 7 hours, nor do I want a lecture explaining every mechanic to me in detail. Assume the audience has a basic familiarity, but also try to keep it exciting for the viewer.
>>46209876
You think better streams are the ones done remotely? Not just a camera dry-ly recording the slow movements of game pieces on a mat?
You may have something there.
I think meatspace games are better for story, but not for viewing.

As Rene's father laments the failure of his underlings to capture a certain smuggler, she drifts out of focus for the next step in this three-hero tale. She, her sister, and the rest have an otherwise-uneventful boat ride to take, as Alfred eludes capture and swerves around Gerxel fleets with his very, very fast boat loaded with Wyvern-slaying Wyrmite.
Young Sir Dyrus, accompanied by his grandfather, maid, and some other assorted retainers, approaches the capital of Noba, a city in the Eastern end of the nation known as August's Reach. He has been informed that King Augustus prefers those who speak their mind, but also asked to let Sir Darren handle speaking on behalf of Hauteclere's rebellion.
Samson, in a slightly earlier point in history, has another seemingly-uneventful day in Holmstead. None concerned about the impending invasion, he goes about his day as any performer and scholar would. As for what this means, however, that is to be said in a moment.
Which of the latter two young men will be addressed first?
>A. Dyrus
>B. Samson

Dunno if anyone here LARPs seriously, but I want a suit of armor approximating this one for burning man
What ballpark am I looking at for price? I'm willing to cut corners if it means saving a lot of $
I would personally say three to five thousand if you want a whole set of decent fitted plate, I might be off by a bit doe.
>>46208316
well that's a lot of fucking money
>>46208337
What do you expect, a full suit of armor was one fourth of what it took to be the biggest badass at the beach for roughly 5 centuries.
They're expensive.

"What kind of big company?" Derrick asks.
"Gimme a second" Ilica replies.
"Maybe they're friendly" You say.
"If you think that, you should go give whatever it is a big hug" Ilica says.
"Yuu, give her a minute please" Emi says.
"Kay" You reply.
Ilica shuts her eyes, and her ears continue to move about. After a few seconds of listening, she raises a hand.
"That way. Doesn't sound huge, but it's getting closer very quickly" She says.
"Tastess like blood..." Emi says. You turn to see her sniffing the air, and every couple of seconds her little forked tongue flicks out.
Hang on, she has a normal tongue. You've seen it when she talks. Does Emi have a second little tongue in her mouth?
"6 legs" Ilica says.
"Can we outrun it?" Derrick asks.
You see something on her face. It's only there for a moment, but it looked like she was afraid.
"I don't know" Ilica says.

It finally happened /tg/. Demons/zombies/orcs/mutants/aliens are overrunning your position, the so-called "hero" turned against you and your "friends" abandoned you. Things are looking bleak.
But, as you lie dying, a strange being appears and offers you unrivaled power to survive and enact your revenge. This is your chance to become a Dark Lord.
So, what will it be? Black magic? Demon Magic? Necromancy? Unrivaled swordsmanship? Something else all together?
Also, how will you go about your revenge, how do you plan to get back against those who turned against you, slighted you? Do you become an emotionless husk, driven only by hatred and wrath? Do you try to stay good? Do you become an evil overlord, who rules over those pityful mortals with an iron fist?
>>46207401
Demonic pacts and just general magic assholishery. Id focus on completing my original goals while being a ass to those that betrayed me.
>>46207401
Give him the finger, I'm not taking some pansy ass' power. I either die here, or I don't and come back on my own to fuck the "hero" up. It's not MY vengeance if I use some other bitch nigga to get it.
>>46207401
Obviously, since I must kill Demons, necromancy would be a good way to go.
((OP can't think of another name edition.))
The world is in disparate disarray; kingdoms come and go as the flow of the river, tribes and city-states are there one day, and gone the next...
But that does not mean there is no hope left for the allied races. Elf, man, and orc now stand together, beating back the tide of angelic, demonic, and otherwise otherworldly foes day by day, held aloft in ancient fortress and stronghold alike, barely eking out survival days at a time.
And you are only one among many. A face in the crowd, as it were. But, what do you stand as?
> Elf
Diviners and oracles fill their ranks. Most notably, they were able to scribe the future upon the skins of their brethren, each having a different story yet untold. You possess no such markings.
> Human
Once able to call upon the divine magics of their god and its servants, they now fight against that which once brought them hope. Now, they draw their magics from the areas surrounding them, in a sense replicating the Geomancy of old...
> Orc
What used to be the nomadic sorcerer tribes that wandered northern forests have taken refuge with man and mer. They formerly called upon what were thought to be demonic arts of evocation and abjuration -- suspicions proved wrong when they continued to be effective on angel and demon alike.

Warhammer Stuff seems popular.
Our DM might run Numenera at our next meet up.
What are the rest of us in the group in for?
>>46205179
Oh, I would numera her all right.
>>46205179
>What are the rest of us in the group in for?
Fifty pounds of tits and ass.
Also generic dungeon crawling that posits itself as revolutionary but is really just more of the same shit.

>Numenera
I've never played it, but looking just at the site it seems pretty damn pretentious.
>In short, Numenera’s game engine elegantly keeps the focus on story and action, without sacrificing structure or mechanical detail.
Excuse me if I don't believe you, Mister Cook.
Here's a little something for you /tg/.
Say Games Workshop is completely bought out by a anime company and they decide to make 40k into a anime that ends up becoming very popular.
The anime would have amazing fight scenes with some damn good gore, imagine Berserk if it took a line of 40kocaine.
However, the lore has either been rebooted or thrown at the window so it could focus more on the fight scenes. However, it has shit like a Ork Warboss dropping a Battle Wagon on someone Dio style.
Would you be okay with this? Furthermore would you watch?
anime is for retards and poofters
>>46204043
I'm all for some quality anime, and I'd probably be okay with the thing itself, however I would vastly prefer the current state of things rather than what was proposed.
>>46204143
This is how you ID a namefag, people. Shitposting and nothing towards the subject of the OP.
>>46204053
Good day to you too, Mr. Fedora.
>>46204043
That actually seems plausible if the works is approaching Berserk, with the silly crap being saved for the Orks.
Just remember, The Eldar are more weeb than the Tau. I mean Shuriken rifles? Katanas?
All the Tau got are giant robots and that's it!
"Hic"
"yoou know. Thish stuff's kinda strong." You can feel yourself getting dizzy. And you need to stop slurring your words.
"Wimp." She's just as drunk as you are but, in her usual display of stoic determination, she's not swaying like a flag in a light breeze. "You just can' handle your alcohol. And I thought pirates spent their days drinking grog. What're you gonna do when your crew out-drinks you oh mighty Captain"
"Shut it Wren." You take the time to focus on not slurring your words, and decide that sitting down on the bench you dragged down to make Wren's den more comfortable would be a stupendous idea. "Besides, grog is watered down booze, this is what, 80 proof?"
"70. But I'm still right. If you can't out drink me, how're you gooing to out drink an 'sperianced sailor?"
She's letting her words get sloppy. There is no way that she's not as dizzy as you.
"Wrenn. Sit doown. Your gonn' fall."
"Weakling" She accedes the point anyway and flops down next to you, just a little closer than usual. Her scars glint slightly in the light, guiding your eyes along her jaw, and along her cheeks to her oak brown nose, slightly flat, hinting that she's not just a short elf. As she leans her back against your shoulder her eyes close, and you see just a hint of a smile cross her lips.
"I don't need to out drink them" her shoulder-length hair is tickling your nose "I just need to out drink you. You'll do the rest."
"You couldn't out drink me if you cheated!"
"Oh yeah? how about another drink?"
"Here's a better idea. How about a competition. Loser has to kiss the winner!"
You feel the blush spreading up from your chest. There's a moment in here somewhere.
"You don't have to beat me to get me to do that..."
Your lips meet, for just the briefest moment, in an upside down kiss that gives you a wonderful view of her chest.
" I... Alright. Winner gets a favour to hold at a later date."
"You're on!"

How are options two and three meant? Metaphysical shit? In character discussions? If so, between whom?
Also, your writing's looking good today. Better then the last couple of time's, to be frank. 's nice.
>>46204082
More slice of life. Basically stuff that happened in the past. I haven't written it up yet, but I can be speedy. I have more caffeine in me than... Uh... I can't find a good analogy.
It is? I found a way to get 4-chan to accept my spacing, but otherwise, that was just as rushed as any of my other posts...
So back in the 80's there were competitive D&D tournaments
How does /tg/ feel about the mere idea of competing on D&D? Will you like to partake in one?
>>46203527
It sounds completely antithetical to what tabletop games strive to be.
Old-school D&D especially was loose with rules so you had to make stuff up on the fly and it is that improvisation that makes the game fun. Putting it in an organized, competitive setting kills that and makes the competitive aspect impossible because different GMs will have different levels of bullshit and outside the rules wackiness they will allow for. Since what you're referring to was typically just a dungeon delve then MAYBE, but at that point you should just buy a wargame and abandon the whole roleplaying aspect.
I'd dig some kind of convention dungeon crawl where whichever group gets the furthest wins some prize. Maybe something small, like a dice set each and a certificate.
Or maybe players swap in and out. There's a queue of players, once a character dies, you're out, and it's on to the next player.

I don't think that destroying the idea that the setting is in a fallen state, and that the golden age has past, will be a good day.
Look at AoS, and tell me that you want that kind of treatment for 40k.
>>46202080
Everything points to the Emps needing to return, though. Necrons are progressively becoming a larger threat. Chaosarmies are learning and finally conquered Cadia. Main Tyranid fleet is approaching. Orks are about to have a fuckmassive WAAGH.
Don't think a splintered and faltering Imperium can handle it without the Emps.
>>46201975
>GW heralds the return of Emps
>postpone his actual return with 30-something books and codexes
>give up and change focus to some obscure conflict in the 35th millenium
What is the attraction of evil?
Does being evil just provide oppurtunities for advancement not possible within normal society - allowing the lowborn to become great leaders, princesses and tenth sons to break outside of roles they're forced into? Does it give even the rabble and hordes of followers a chance to be their own men and make names for themselves?
Is it just a method of obtaining power for those who desire that above all else? Magical artifacts, world domination, ancient knowledge long lost that perhaps should have remained lost?
Or is it just something that's purely moral - the reasons behind it vary as much as anything else, with the only caveat being that the methods have to be immoral or downright sadistic.
>>46201785
Evil is a point of view, anon.
That said, people who are typically attracted to "evil" things are people whose desire for personal gain outweighs their empathy for other people. They don't care about others, so they do whatever the hell they want because they look out for Numero Uno alone.
>>46201924
>Evil is a point of view, anon.
moral relativism equates to moral nihilism
