How would you do a campaign without combat?
>>54713833
the characters are 5th graders, and the campaign centers around exploration, espionage, dialog, et cetera. What would be a good system for this?
>>54714118
GURPS could do it, but it's gonna be realistic.
Expect at least one broken limb.
>>54713833
Any real WoD game - you know, the way it's supposed to be played, can be done without any combat at all.
/tg/, I'm in need of some monster art. Especially less traditional monsters (obv pic not related)

>WotC hates us and refuses to give us good stuff if not outright nerfing us
>they love U and always give it the best stuff
Do you agree with this sentiment? Does it hold any merit?
NWO tries to keep burn from being a viable strategy as much as possible and some of blue's best cards were originally going to be red (Force of Will, Snapcaster Mage).
But apart from that, I don't think WotC is actively out to get red, the issue stems from red relying entirely on early game cards and with wotc pushing the dumb "exile top card of library, you may play it until end of turn" when red usually doesnt doesnt care and wants to tap out each turn until turn 4 to ensure quick victory.
I don't play much magic, but blue and black have been my go-to colors for ages. I can't speak for red players, but I do know that blue always seems to get some neat stuff in each set whereas red always seems focused on brute force which doesn't lend itself well to high-level play. Maybe I just don't play enough red to know better. I will attempt to remedy this as soon as I can be bothered.

>What are some NPCs or Groups of NPCs that you put into your games that your players responded well to?
We had great success when our GM tossed in a group of hunters. But not Hunters, capital letter, just 'hunters'. We were the capital letter ones.
The other guys had seen a bit too much, but were basically mortals. Like, good old boys with a pick up truck, spot lights, rifles and all the liquor they could afford. The fuckers kept beating us to clues and scenes we were investigating, shooting things and setting it on fire, then blasting off into the distance with polka remixes of katy perry songs blaring (This being what the GM would put on over the stereo when it was one of 'their' scenes).
They died terribly when they beat us to a scene and found not the 'great tootin' boar' they were expecting, but a shapeshifter busy eating a derelict. We took all the credit for killing it with our associates, framed them for the murders with the standard authorities and stole all the stuff out of their houses.

What OSR system has the best stats for dragons?

>What OSR system has the best stats for dragons?
It's not a system, but I always thought that this was an interesting take on dragon battles: http://www.latorra.org/2012/05/15/a-16-hp-dragon/
I wonder if it would be good in practice though.
>>54708705

2e. Dragons need to be mighty and scary.

OD&D. As with coins, gold is the only metal. Also, they don't roll for breath damage.
Is this fantasy armor or a legit knight armor from the Middle Ages?
Looks pretty legit to me

TACTICAL
RACISM
I might be going a bit hard on the reflective armor, it looks better if it's just the corners that get the dot highlight
Didn't see one, and this happened the last two sessions and I'm pretty livid right now so here goes
>GM invites a new player
>3.PF among friends so we tuned down the caster supremacy a little
>Ask player if he needs help with the character, the system, etc
>"Nah, I know it well"
>Next day appears with a Wizard with breastplate and a greatsword
>No feats on proficiency on such armor/weapon, no feats to mitigate the penalties
>Me "Anon, why don't you grab these feats, or play a Duskblade/Magus or similar?"
>Anon sensibily on the defensive "Because I'm not a munchkin minmaxer, I'm trying to play a concept not an optimized statblock"
>For a moment think he's trying to troll us because he's spouting lots of memes
>Of course the character sucks, fizzles half the spells, has penalties on even breathing, etc
>Player complains and makes the game unbearable yet whenever we tell him that he can change say character's feats, class, to fit the concept while being playable he dismisses us with a sense of superiority like we're scum for even comeup with those advices
>GM tells us to endure it a little bit because he's his friend
Killing people like this shouldn't be a crime
I give him 1 more session, if this shit continues like this I'm out
>>54674562
I feel your rage
I had a player bitch and moan about being saved by another player at the cost of player 2's character; he even insulted him for it OOC.
>>54674946
>insulted him OOC
Well, would be hard to insult incharacter if his character is dead.
It becomes limited. How does the meta change?
>>54671380
Every deck runs one. Gratz.
>>54671380
This >>54671393
There's literally no downside to running pot of greed. At most, you've made games a bit more swingy, as one player drawing theirs while the other guy has his stuck at the bottom puts things more in his favor.
>>54671393
Why? It's not even that good. Oh man, one extra card, better be careful or this'll break the meta.
This thread is for discussing D&D 4e and the games it inspired, such as 13th Age, Strike!, Valor, and so forth.

>QUESTION
Have you ever found an autist that have analysized the game? Average damage per round per role per level? Average successful attacks to kill a monster per role per monter role per level? Average turns of combat per level? Or any guideline for creating a homebrew or retroclone?
>OP SUCKING COCK
I don't think a true retroclone would survive. Plenty of 4e power comes from the Char Builder. A mere retroclone with minor fixes could be good, but the absence of a CBuilder is too relevant. Any child of 4e should go further than its father if it hopes to survive.
Speaking of 4e successor games, since I'm one of the sorry bastards working on one-
How much do you think would be lost if you just scrapped point buy in favour of a set array? We're reducing stats to just the modifier, and rather than trying to deal with how to balance pointbuy we're considering just handing out a default array of +4, +3, +2, +1, +0, -1.
2hu, are you around? There was a thread recently about an interesting sci-fantasy spelljammer campaign and I'm pretty sure it was you who posted it. I had already thought about doing a setting like that for 4e, so I'd be grateful if you could expound on your setting a little more.
>>54665145
That sounds nice and simple. I'd say go for it. People usually do either 18/14 or 16/16 anyway (pre-racial).
>>54665007
Reminder that there's a full-fledged 4e Wiki that's striving to place every bit of crunch and lore into a single reference place.
