In most games, my characters usually have a sense of morals. That doesnt neccesarily mean he wont do unethical actions, but they do draw the line somewhere. I mean, what is the point of going against a BBEG if YOU are the real evil guy?

I know, its bad to being a good RPG player, but i'm not going to kill a harmless toddler in a game just because I can or because the GM would allow it. Just because the option is open, doesn't mean you have to take it.

Am I wrong in thinking like this? Am I just a bad player?

>>45744861
I actually wish that was something my players did more. They are all too willing to take extreme measure if they think the ends justify the means. I encourage inter party drama and arguing as long as it stays in the game, it's pretty boring when players are satisfied being killbots.

My bad habit is that I'm a loot happy bitch who would rather collect interesting items than anything else.

It doesn't even have to be valuable loot. Anything that the DM describes that I find interesting grabs my kender-like attention and refuses to let go. Pirate captain's fancy hat, shiny piece of bandit armor, unicorn skull, et cetera.

I have no plans to fix this, I fully accept my curse. Now gimme the fancy silverware and no-body gets hurt!

You can buy that fourth location. Also your nachos are witnessed.

Pointless. I don't see it really mattering as a major plot point unless someone wants to get into a retarded ideological debate about whether it's right or wrong or not.

A game mechanic that has psychological consequences on the player's character and any npcs that partake.

A game mechanic that lets you gain power in exchange for particular consequences.

Yeah, I convinced the party that DnD was a waste of our time that night (half the players didn't even have their characters ready) and we should play Smash Bros instead.

I must've rolled a 20 on my Diplomancy check, because everyone agreed and it was a pretty fun session.

Stop posting photos of me.

No, I'm not comfortable with volunteering some defining traits real me with my gaming group.

dear /tg/, let me make you decks. i like trying to make things that are competitive but have flavor. i'm a sad manchild with nothing better to do on my day off.

>>45742279
Playing? Right now it´s a u/w land creature deck, which I´m going to switch out for a b/r eldrazi aggro once I finished brewing it. The only thing, I´m excited for is the vampires. Kinda want to try them out.

Could you give me a list with cards dragons of tarkir onwards? As said above, I´m tryiing to brew b/r aggro? Thanks in advance.

Off topic, but why are fetch lands always so high prized? I never have the budget for those.

>>45742341
Meant you, the second paragraph onwards, just forgot to link.

Oops, wrong picture.

you still will have a god, but yeah, a Paladin follows a code (determined by the god) and not the god itself.

so god of justice, knoc yourself out

>>45738664
Are all the lawful good deities in FR pretty justicey, or is there one who stands out?

You bribe the GM.

>>45738714
Clever bastard

It's honestly a tough system to break, combat wise. You can really capitalize on a race/class combo with custom backgrounds (pick your own skill proficiency and feats, and even those can be custom). You can optimize into one type of combat and just really shine through. I'd be interested in seeing classes 'tiered' like they were in 3.5, but that's a different discussion.

Like a human being.

Be a crazy old woman.

>>45738465
To play a female character all you need to do is play a character. Come up with her hopes and ambitions and follow them. Gender doesn't play a huge role. Unless you are trying to make a seductive character in which case don't.

>>45738514
>implying you can't play a non-human

Make one, or commission someone to make one. What content makes it "good"? Be clear and use your words. Speaking of words, where's the discussion here? Are you challenging people to find a Golden Age of Piracy RPG that you think is good? That falls back to you being clear about your opinions and using your words. Or do you want people to discuss in general what would make such a thing possible? Again, using your words helps greatly. Who's going to know what you want if you just post a single line of text and a stupid frog?

Fill in the blanks.

While it's still in alpha/beta I'm relatively sure Naval action is a pretty good game. Though it doesn't let you take control of a buccaneer - it's more you controlling your crew as you do... stuff. Pretty good, IMO.

>Modern: Nothing banned
You can go straight to hell.

>>45734749
Why? Modern is fine as it is. What do YOU think should be banned?

I would unban Splinter Twin and Pod, and then laugh as nothing changes.

Anti-paladin=Bohemian Rhapsody?

I actually put that song in a game where we did a sword art bullshit and I slowly realized I was acting like an antagonist selling people out, murdering people intentionally if I thought them bad guys in the real world, (server mods lol) but didn't go out like a bitch. His dying words were even "I really thought I was the good guy..."

I play 40k. But if you want balance stick with Warmachine or Infinity. 40k has my favorite lore though

>>45734210

Just walk away now, don't play games, or hang out on /tg/, you'll have more money, sanity and dignity.

>>45734292

None of those are an issue.

>>45733643
>They seem like they unnecessarily expand the rules to me and I read that some of the kits break the game's balance.

got it in one

stick to core since you are still learning the system

>>45733643
Don't allow kits. 2E's core books have some issues, but the "crunch" expansions generally made the game worse.

>>45733680
>>45733695

Okay, thank you. I was leaning towards not using them.

>>45733034
OP here, to clarify a bit more for puns particular to my campaign

>Setting is a large island with a metropolis in the center, a giant beacon of light emits from it
>System is Pathfinder

Party consists of:
>CN Elf Wizard
>Mermaid Water Druid
>LE Oracle of Cthulu is also a slutty woman that is specializing in mind control
>LG Cleric, is a major rules lawyer, also plays like CG for some reason
>What I assume is a ranger, he doesn't talk much
>And myself, a human Commoner

>>45733100
>mermaid
Everything about sea and fishes.

>did you sea that? Something is fishy here.
While staring at mermaid.

>>45733034

>Call of Cthulhu
>As part of the backstory, a wealthy Mr. Dexter makes a sizeable donation to fun adding a new wing to the Arkham Asylum.
>When they visit it, someone catches a glimpse at the sign and tells me to fuck off.
>Because the ward was named after the donor, Charles Dexter.

Will you ever get a twitter? I miss the quest half the time when I could participate if I knew it had started.
