Well, it's confirmed, me and some business partners are opening a store. Won't be able to do miniature war games due to store size constraints but we will be selling cards, RPGs and boardgames, plus accessories and some clothes and such.

So, what do you like to see in your FLGS? A members program? A specific layout of merch?

If thats your floorplan? Add a jackass bar to the front entry, so that someone who runs in and grabs stuff has to vault it or flip on his head like a retard on the way out. It helps minimize theft by making it more inconvenient.

Also, a camera pointed at faces on the way in that takes shots would be a great deterrent as well; "Smile, youre being filmed for security purposes!"

Hello /tg,
So, I am in the process of creating a very powerful lich for my current campaign.
The catch? He isn't evil. Well, not exactly.

The lich( Who will be named Heri,) Has immense power, but constantly flubs his spells and plans. Though he is a lich, a neigh undying beacon of undead magical power, he has a... less that secure grasp on the actual ancedotes of magic and spellcasting. as well, he usually acts in a very sociable and fun, yet absentminded manner. (Picture if Goofy stole Mickey's hat and ascended to lich hood)

As one could imagine, this gets him into a fair amount of trouble on a regular basis. Including, but not limited to: losing his still-conscious head, Putting a 600lb Stone golem to guard his elven porn stash, and awakening his fortress to move to a new city. (which leads to the fortress plunging into a mid life crisis.)

Anyone have ideas for wizardly Shinanigans for Heri to put our players through?

What are some key ways psionics should differ from other forms of magic? Crunchwise I mean.

What can psionic do that regular magic can't? What can magic do that psionics can't?

>>
One of the very few things I ever liked about an oft touted, Generic rpg, was that psionics were very subtle and took no energy, but the effects were nothing to write home about. Meanwhile magic was big and flashy and powerful, but could quickly leave a mage helpless from exhaustion.

Be balanced.

>>45950740
They shouldn't differ, they should just be a branch of magic revolving around mental effects.

Am I a bad GM if I intentionally set up an encounter that has a disproportionately high chance of killing a specific party member because I want them dead for narrative reasons?

Their death also explains the player's absence during a four week holiday he'll be on. And his current character is shit. I believe he'd be better suited to playing his backup.

All of the players are fine with the concept of losing characters, which is why they all made backups at the beginning of the campaign. This would just be me stacking the odds in my favour.

Just make sure the odds are stacked against them but don't force the bad end if they somehow get through whatever ordeal you have planned.

The Faceless.jpg

Welcome one, and I welcome you all to the tale of a world called Thespia.

Here is the odyssey of one that clings to this world with no face of their own! In a place where magic is fundamental to all of creation, all who live wear their lives upon their face, where a fire might wish to be the cooking fire of an inn!

The Faceless overcame the tyrant lord of Bikel, Stephan Grant, son of Mikael Grant. Thus, while wearing the face of the vengeful spirit "The Reaper of Aurel" otherwise known as Dramir, a story in the world of Thespia comes to an end as a hero arrives to deliver the accursed Guisi from their fates of enslavement and labor.

Yet despite this success, a shadow of doubt looms upon the horizon as the Reaper claimed victory from Lord Grant whilst in his Arche's true form, a secret kept by the Guisi at all costs for fear of true persecution at the hands of other Thespians.

Yet the curtain has closed upon that story and a sibling pair grow restless as they hear the whispers of the Guisi elders and their intent to make the Reaper disappear to ensure that there are no loose ends.

"We will not see our work undone."

The inky black of Luna's swirling night wraps and weaves against an unexpected intruder in the dark woods of the Pruden wood. A glowing, ravaging invader that bakes and pops the flesh of a great old tree, its cries heard long and far as it burns on, the flames bound and contained firmly to the confines of its being. They rage on, furious and persistent without any regard to the tree's cries.

You clutch your ears at its screams, your heart unable to bear the sad cry of the tree. “Please stop...” You and Belinda say. “Stop burning... Please...” You both whisper with tears swelling I your eyes, running down your cheeks as you writhe in agony.

You'd done already what you could to drag away the liberated women from the burnt oak, yet you hear the true voice of the tree spike and resound.

You feel a pair of hands upon your shoulders as you're brought up from your curling fetal position. Blinking back the stinging tears you can see Odette's Luna-stained hair aglow with the orange flame. She looks you fiercly in the eyes, scrapes and scratches dashed across her face, “Reap- Beli are you all right? What's wrong? Are you hurt?” Her eyes glance down to the other women, “:Are they...?”

“No, No... We're fine...” You whine, grabbing onto Odette and holding her for comfort. “The tree, she's screaming... I can't...”

“Calm down, it's okay...”

You blink back the tears, and try to focus, pushing back the scream of the tree. “Where is Biz? Are you... Are you alright?”

“We chased the Satire here when you ran off. He abandoned the fight after throwing you in the tree and I pursued him. Biz is...”

“So many ladies... kidnapped.” You hear Biz say from behind you, “I can't believe that foul beast had taken so many.”

Alright guys, i have no idea what to do here. I'm running a 3 session campaign and i invited along my normal group, and since I'm constantly trying to improve i let in a few more players (to see how well i could handle 8 adventurers rather than 5) and it just so happens 8 other people wanted to be in a game, i dint mind since this wouldn't last longer than three sessions.

so this is where it goes wrong, with a party of 8 you can plan strategic encounters the enemies use strategy to fight since they don't have numbers, an if need be i could throw like 10 enemies at them, a large enemy party.

But when everyone came in with their character 4 out of the 8 of them are summoners, with plans for multiple summons, and the necromancer intends to raise every enemy they slay.

the hell do i do? now every combat is going to take anywhere up to a couple hours unless we just want this army to roflstomp everything they see. and theres no chance of tight corridors or strategic encounters. then it comes to the puzzles i was planning, how do i incorporate that many beings???

>>
>>45948595
Well you could just go along with it. Switch up major battles to be army vs medium group/summons. Might take longer but it'd be cool to do a big-ass war. Try and manage it to where they'd be low on man power by the time the last few guys show up.

So, I'm trying to get back into MtG, but I haven't played since my teenage years. And frankly, I wasn't all that familiar with the rules at the time, especially a lot of the special abilities found on some cards.

I was wondering if starting out by buying a prebuilt deck on eBay is a good idea. I don't know if I can just grab a deck like this and start playing at my local comic book store, because the guys there might be much more invested in MtG than I am. None of the cards included in these prebuilt decks seem particularly rare or valuable.

Here's one of the decks I was thinking about buying:

>Creatures:
Terra Stomper x3
Garruk's Packleader x3
Swordwise Centaur x4
Voyaging Satyr x4
Shaman of Spring x4
Elvish Mystic x4
Charging Rhino x4
Centaur Courser x3

>Spells:
Time to Feed x4
Titanic Growth x4

>Land
Forest x23

>Sideboard:
Reclamation Sage x3
Satyr Grovedancer x3
Satyr Wayfinder x4
Guardians of Meletis x1
Market Festival x1


Does this seem like a good place to start? I guess I could always hunt down specific cards to add to the deck if that might give me more a competitive edge. I really just want to play for fun, but there's no sense in stepping up to a table without a chance in hell of ever winning a match.

It depends entirely on what kind of people you plan on playing against.

You could take the deck above and if you have people at a similar powerlevel to yourself and it would be a ton of fun to play with.

However, if you were to take the above list to a random FNM and ask for a game, you would probably lose 9/10 games, and the games you win would probably be because your opponent got mana screwed. It's simply too weak, there are no particularely strong synergies that give you an edge, you just play a mediocre minion each turn.

Now, the deck concept you have IS an actual good and proper decktype and is one of the cheapest viable decks in modern.

The deck is called Mono Green Stompy. Here's a list:

Creatures (26)

4 Dryad Militant $0.60
4 Experiment One $4.88
4 Avatar of the Resolute $4.96
4 Kalonian Tusker $0.92
4 Strangleroot Geist $1.48
2 Dungrove Elder $9.96
4 Leatherback Baloth $7.64

Spells (12)

4 Aspect of Hydra $0.60
4 Rancor $9.96
4 Vines of Vastwood $3.24

Lands (22)
20 Forest $0.00
2 Treetop Village $5.90

Total price $50.14 (Does not include sideboard, which can be made very cheap or very expensive depending on preferences and budget)

This deck is far far FAR stronger than the one you have posted above.

And another question, how much is the person asking for the deck you posted? Because the value of the cards listed is almost zero. If you met me in person I would probably give you every single card in that list for free.
>>
>>45948379

I'm not sure I want to drop $50 on a deck. This may not be a suitable hobby for me after all. I mean, if it's pay-to-win, where's the fun in that?

I was kind of hoping there was a more casual scene with this game.

>And another question, how much is the person asking for the deck you posted?

I thought his habit of explicitly basing parts of Discworld off our reality wasn't as funny as he thought it was.

Nor did I like his pushing of multiculturalism and multiethnic cities and their alleged "advantages".

Good evening /tg/, I come to you with a personal problem. You see I have an addiction, an addiction for rolling up character's completely randomly

By this I mean rolling for everything
stats straight down the line
Class *rolled until I get something the stats I have will allow me to be a somewhat functioning member of the party*
race
gender
various appearance traits
Even alignment

But today I realized something
this does not make suitably random and fleshed out characters
for I am lacking charts for
Personality
anguishes
flaws
bigotry
hatreds
mental disorders
fetishes
as well as many other things

So I'd like a set of tables to use for this to scratch this itch

and if you're wondering, no I don't do this all the time, I do it when I'm bored, I've often rolled up five characters in such away, but I do not rely solely on this to make characters
I just do it when I have nothing better to do

So if there are no tables for this
lets try to make some, shall we?
or not

I got something for you OP.

It doesn't do backstory, but it gives you a personality for your character to work with, and with some creativity you can create really cool and unique character minds from seemingly unrelated or conflicting emotions. It also accounts for the fact that even villains have redeeming traits and even heroes have flaws.

A short intro flashes by, playing a friendly-network approved theme as a montage of the different characters run past, each with a clip from the first episode attached and a generic sounding voice over.

"Damen Peiner is 'Gerard 'Jerry' Pisto', the obsessive drummer! "

"Celina Louden is the beautiful 'Alexa “Voodoo” Beaulieu', guitarist extraordinaire!"

"Donaldo Draper is the irascible 'Peter “Dickass” Delisle'!"

"And Jyotish Javins is Satan's physical fleshpuppet, 'Jay "Baller" Bhala'!"

"Together as the Dickwranglers, they fight the forces of Dracula with the power of music!"

Applause.

"And this week's special guest star is none other than... Jules Bussone as Trucker!"

On the dusty outskirts of a desert city, a tender exchange. He hangs off the side of his trucker cab, one hand already inside, long brown hair billowing in the wind. She stands before him in a powder blue dress that matches her eyes. He's not sure how much gold is left in Nevada but he'd be damned if there isn't a little glitter in the air that shines around her face like the surface of a lake.

“How can I ever repay you?”

He smiles, slides a massive knuckle down the contour of her jaw without speaking. A tear wells in her eye. All he's done for this girl is take her from her home to a modern day Sodom where she'll spend the next twenty years a prostitute of the lowest sort before turning her back on that life for a new one...

“Just follow your heart,” he tells her. There's no explicit guilt as he climbs the rest of the way into the cab and turns the key in the ignition. Nobody said making nuns was easy or pretty but there's more in common with the sausage grinding process than he'd like to admit.

He's half a mile away when his radio crackles to life.

“Fish, this is Loaves. Do you read me, over?”

“I read you loud and clear, Loaves. What's up?”

“Word is there's an order for you to pickup at a depot down on 66, dispatch says they couldn't get a hold of you any other way.”

“Not a problem, Loaves, thanks for relaying that.”

Another pick-up? So soon?

The long-haired trucker shifts uncomfortably on his beads. He'll have to turn around...

A little while later and he's cruising past a diner not far from where he dropped the girl off earlier. It gives him an uneasy feeling.

>As I watched the Magic Online match on Twitch, I couldn't help but notice the chat replay alongside the video. Instead of crediting me for playing something unique rather than another Eldrazi deck, the chat was full of derogatory comments about both me and my deck. The match was against Living End, a matchup I'd never played with this deck, but on the fly I figured out a way to use Evolutionary Leap and a ton of trigger effects to out-graveyard our opponent and defeat them with my Green/White creature deck, even after they resolved multiple Living Ends each game. I beat a competitive tier deck without any graveyard hate simply by doing what my deck was built to do. And instead of appreciating that, the chat commentary kept saying my deck is bad and mocking me for my physical appearance.

please contribute any ideas you have for my "child-bright" setting. child-bright = noble-bright world with children protagonists; influences being Nintendo games (and other E to T rated games), Cartoon Network and Disney Channel cartoons.

more definitions and idea examples can be found in the previous threads (linked here)

I'm looking for ANY ideas, no matter how big or small... anything from a grand-scale idea for a city or a people (race), to a small detail such as a weapon description or costume idea.

my goal is to build an immense setting (in my imagination... to later apply to traditional games, comics, scripts, vidya, etc)

the setting is not paired with any particular game-system, so mechanics are irrelevant at this point... this is a concept farm

GO!!! (and thank you)

what are some misc. activities/puzzles/obstacles in the valley outside of the dungeon?
