This continued for the entire game. Afterwards I was treated to a lecture about "pointless rolling" and how it "slows down the fiction." I explained I was trying to give his character something to do besides slashing up shit, and he got angry and called me an uncreative DM. I don't know if he is coming back and I don't know if I want him to. He was a decent player otherwise. None of the other players had an issue with the in-depth camping stuff, they liked the flavor it added. Why are storyfags so insufferable about this? Is this just a bad example or are they all like this? This guy was pissed as fuck that not EVERY d20 roll he made was absolutely pivotal to the fate of his character.
>>45031088
He sounds like a fag
He's wrong to argue with you, but his arguments themselves aren't wrong. You sound like a pretty awful DM to play with.
>>45031088
So you took 15 minutes to make him do three rolls that didn't matter at all, and you're mad at him?
>I make a camp site

I also got to meet up with Shiba Hikaru, my friend from my dojo days and have a friendly (well, comparatively friendly) duel with Matsu Akane of the Lion's Pride. I wasn't able to meet Uesugi Seijuro of the Mirumoto when the Dragon arrived though. I wonder why....

"You are....different from how I expected, Jubei-san," Akane admits quietly.
"How so?" you ask, untying the sleeves of your kimono back to how they were before the fight preparation.
"You are skilled, perhaps more so then any other warrior I've fought, but you do not carry yourself as other warriors of your caliber I've fought at all," she admits as the clacking of the bokuto that the next two demonstrators begin their match. "I don't know what to make of you."
You shrug as you place your hands back on your lap.
"Kakujinkakusetsu," you say dismissively.Basically the Japanese version of "different strokes for different folks".
"A...ara?" she asks, sounding perplexed, quirking her head to one side in confusion.
Before you an answer a runner scoots up to you form behind and interrupts.
"Pardon Jubei-sama, but a letter has arrived for you."

Who wants to roll up a cult?

It seems we are Errant Adeptus
Now we need another 1d20 for cult idea
You're a Cave Hydra, big and mighty. And right now you're in a quite the situation, and it all started when you decided to venture to the surface.
Following the dwarven caravan, you decided to see what's around, what kind of terrain is up here, this leaded you into an encounter with an undead, and from there the ball rolled down nonstop. Going through a few rooms filled with petty enemies and tricks, you've finally managed to swallow the bipedal responsible for this mayhem and broken rules of Nature.
However, exactly the moment you swallowed your opponent, four figures emerged from the entrance to this room, all staring at you for while, so you decided to return the favor by staring back. The tallest bipedal is completely covered in shiny rock, wielding a softly glowing big, sharp stick, the most prominent feature of it is that the aura it emits feels natural, as if this was nature itself standing in front of you. Second tallest bipedal has a jumping stick in his hand, he's also green skinned and has tusks growing out of his mouth. The third in line is covered in white robes, akin to the one you've just swallowed, only difference being the colors, his are white, the one that's now acting as energy source in your stomach had black ones.
And the last one is tiny, even smaller than dwarves, her skin is brown, tanned, and she's wearing a thin cloak that's at least about twice her size for only one reason you can think of, to hide her tininess. She's also holding a pair of equally puny, although wicked looking sticks.

>>45027884
I second this.
4e's Player's Handbook's chapter on skills is 14 pages long and contains rules for the procedure and usage of skill checks.
People yelled that 4e "has no rules for roleplaying."
5e's Player's Handbook's section on skills is spread out across 5 pages.
Nobody yells at 5e for having "no rules for roleplaying."
Why?
>>45027613
Because OP is a faggot.
>>45027613
Skill checks =/= roleplaying.
Also, out of all the complaints about 4e, "no rules for roleplaying" is one I've never heard come up. Ever.
>>45027613
The argument is often worded wrong. 3e and 4e had loads of rules for role-playing, the issue was that it expected you to use those rules in place of the role play.
5e comes from the side that skill rolls are only necessary for dangerous or challenging tasks, or situations where the RP is considered not enough.

All things considered, this meeting is going about as well as you expected.
True, Petra is slumped, despairing, across the table while Amelia is still reeling, pale with unbelieving confusion. Elliot is fighting back a thin smile, only to break out into a grin as he leans over to whisper something in Leon's ear. Cassandra is leaning back in her seat with her arms folded and her face cast in a carefully neutral mask. At least nobody has tried to kill each other yet, merely leaving their grievances at the level of harsh looks and barbed comments.
Marco seems happy, as well, pleased with the results of his experimentation. You had been expecting something more impressive, to be honest.. An entirely few phone, with all manner of technological stuff poking out, perhaps. Instead, he merely plugged your phone into his cobbled together computer, pushed a few keys and handed it back to you. Boring. At least the results are sound – you can store more demons now, he claimed, as well as summoning two at a time.
>Demon storage increased to 9. Max summons increased to 2.
>>45027473
Murmuring an excuse, you rise from your seat and slip out of the stuffy room. A walk would be nice, something to clear your mind, but you're not foolish enough to tackle the labyrinth of corridors alone. Maybe you can find Mister Red lurking somewhere, to act as a guide. The blank, featureless corridor you emerge into is empty though, at least on first glance. As you're yawning and stretching, you spot a pale face peeking out from around a corner. Alice, her doll-like features topped by a crudely cobbled together crown.
Cobbled together, you realise as you approach, from the various computer parts she stole from Marco. You try to imagine the young girl sitting and soldering together the assortment of parts, but it just doesn't work. Maybe she had help. Giggling softly as you draw closer, Alice turns tail and skips off down the hallway, a long streamer of copper wire trailing behind her. You have no idea where she's heading, but you follow her regardless – the girl is too dangerous to roam alone.
A few twists and turns, and then Alice leads you out into the main room of the club, throwing open the large door with all of her strength. Trying not to think too hard about the journey you just undertook, compared with the one that led you to the meeting room in the first place, you scan the room in search of the girl herself. You pause, then, as you see an unfamiliar figure seated at the bar, a brightly coloured cocktail sitting in front of her. Mister Black is behind the bar, a nervous twitch playing across his face.
“Hi!” the unfamiliar girl announces suddenly, turning on her barstool to glance your way, “I don't think we've ever met. Care to join me?”
She's just... human. A cheerful, lively looking human girl. Even as you walk numbly over, you know that something isn't quite right.
>Who are you?
>This was supposed to be a private party. What do you want?
>You're not human, are you?
>Other
>>45027478
>You're not human, are you?

Mia can already tell something is off. We are supposed to be the only humans left. If there was another in the demon world they wouldn't be so cheerful. Or clean.

>>Who are you?

You are given a choice.
Either watch your favorite game die, unplayed and unloved, as all of its players leave it for greener pastures
Or
To have a team of elite Japanese Moe specialists use their powers to insert a variety of adorable girls into your favorite game as some marketing ploy, inadvertently winding up making them the central characters due to their explosive popularity, with their images endlessly repeated by fans and sold on merchandise.

I'm about to start a game with costum post-apocalyptic setting, but with heavy wibes from just before the 2YK shit came down. In this world, everything went to shit thanks to it. Think Fallout-ish but in the 90's (so 20 years ago).
What are some must-have things that you associate with the 90's? Bubblegumdance, Nokia 3210 and backward caps are a given, but I'd like some more examples of shit you associate with the 1990's.

Because it's cool.
So I'll start off with a big question...
my group is pretty loose with the rules
not in a way I particularly like but thats kind of besides the point
its mostly me and the paladin correcting people politely when appropriate, which is fine
but we just hit level 3 and our monk said his speed is 45 feet one combat, which is clearly wrong. hes a dwarf, so his speed should be 35, but he obviously looked at the table and added 10 more speed to his movement.
i didn't say anything because... whatever, but is there a good way to bring it up without being that dick that nerfed his monk? i don't really care but lately all the things my DM doesn't notice about people playing have been bugging me, but I really like his campaign otherwise and I like my party so its not like I want to leave. But I also don't want to be that guy who is always arguing with the DM and players, even though I already have been that guy multiple times (and I've always been right, but no one really seems to care).
like is it even worth bringing up? I mean by level 5 his speed would be stupidly fast and thats just dumb. Maybe someone else will catch on at that point and I should save up any potential animosity for more important rules violations.
And believe me, half of me wants to find a different group. I don't even care about RAW particularly, but our DM kind of just adds and drops rules on the spot, and makes stuff up, and sometimes he's cool when me or the paladin correct him, but sometimes not and it really bothers me...
