This, or items with a history - a rifle that was used to kill a dictator is a little bit more distinguished then one you got at space Wal-Mart.

I mean, it's been 400 years and we still masturbate over Stradivarius violins.
Modern production instruments equal or even better a Strad under certain conditions but there's still no replicas.

A bad guy who isn't a 'bad' guy? A rival?

Is it a Superhero game, like your pic?

>>44534886
You can't. This is PCs we're talking about. The crazy murderhobos that will not shy away from attacking king in the throne room while the royal guard is present in their full numbers.

Non-magical setting with a magical BBEG?

Sounds neat, also.

>>44535420
It's rather cliche, with Conan and all.

>>44535453
no, non-magical world with a magical hero fighting against a God that can't afford to use magic. But that hero is succumbing to insanity

X-white Heroic was a Standard deck until Theros rotated out.

Also, pic related.

Anything that stops them from being a 2 for 1 waiting to happen makes them at least worth considering, and that's ignoring combo pieces.

Totem armor worked well, and was a concept they could refluff easily.

>>44537320
The only actual enchantments in UW were aqueous form and cloudshift, which were both used to prevent blocking and push damage through. The ordeals might as well have been sorceries because they popped the moment you played them, and everything else was instants that targeted for heroic procs.

>CONT.

DM starts saying, oh I got these from the right sorce online, we can still use these yatta yatta, of corse I decide to grab Bookie's shit ass nice sheet instead.

After a few hours of shit we all finsh our characters, some of the newbies haven't but Bookie said he can help them finsh online. We are just packed up and DM says we should give him our chracter sheets, I refused because I don't like the chance of my sheet being actidently lost and having to re-write. Most of the newbies hand them over and we spilt for till the next week.

>Next Week

We meet at the Timmie's again and before we start we talk about finding a new place like a real comic store with tables and shit, we agree on this one place and then we start.

Bookie wasn't there and was unable to join the campaign because of reasons? Anyways there's a new guy there as well who couldn't make it last week but had his sheet ready to go, he was a Dragonborn monk and me and him hit off pretty well.

So story begins and theres a job out there to bring this cart to another town through a forrest, we were hired because of goblin attacks and what not so we all head out.

I get really into roleplay and Monk is pulling the cart since he was the strongest and I sit on top playing tunes and what not for the adventure.

Nothing really note worthy here but we get ambushed by goblins cart glows and makes us invisable with a forcefield and we end session there.

>Next week

We head to new place which was fucking a beaut of a comic store, I'd love to return there again. We all sit down the three fucks show up vaping until the room gets misty and we start the game.

This session just entailed us beating the goblins next morning capturing a fat lazy one and heading to town with the cart and apperently we get these boxes as an award but they show us where more gold is and shit.

We and the Monk and the barbarain of the crew go to the inn and get wasted

subbing for interest

As far as I know, it's a bit of both. They find nice asteroids (Or sizeables chunks of planet) floating in space, make a bit of room, then strap as many rockets to it as orkishly possible.

>>44534256
Also they can only do this when they are able to make energy field technology

>Or can orkz just survive the vacuum of space?
I've read that they can for short durations.

Rocks fall and kill everyone, they were really big rocks going super fast.

What do, guys.

>>44533349
I'm not looking to retcon this. This is my first time as GM, and before I start making my Thou Shalt Not list and being That GM, I want to attempt a game in which my players have a hand in shaping the world. Basically, the ending of this adventure will determine our next adventure.

BUUUT... I'm Good. I can't, as a character, allow Rhino to just slaughter scores for his own insane megalomania.

>>44533057
single book? for your first time GMing?

dungeon world, numenera (ugh), feng shui (2)... just off the top of my head from my play group and first time GMs....

>>44533057
Numenera / Cypher

You'll get alot of hate for that on /tg/. But seriously it's quick and easy and minimal explanation on the player side that you can just introduce on the fly.

>>44533150

A lot of hate for tbose partucular RPGs? Why?

What is DungeonWorld like in terms of sandbox elements?

Regardless, Jill was involved now and you'd just have to work around that. At the very least it meant that someone else was helping you... But you're not sure if that's going to help or hinder, compared to having just done it yourself. You really worked better alone-

You froze in place, realizing whose sentiments you had begun to echo.

What?

No, having help was always preferable. You were just uneasy about the source of the help, that's all. You shake your head to dislodge the curious feeling trickling out from the back of your mind and crack your neck as you go over your options for today. The sun wasn't quite up yet, but you had too much to do to just waste time until the last second.

You had a meeting with the Shrine today to finalize the trading of the Atelier's information in exchange for their favour and assistance. You weren't sure when that would happen exactly, but you could probably show up at any time during the day and have the meeting get started.

Beyond that, there was also smuggling your knights into town somehow. That seemed like it would take more effort and knowledge about Carona than you currently had in order to get it done. Unlike yourself, your knights weren't particularly infamous in Carona, so it wasn't as if they needed to be incognito... They just needed to get past the lockdown, somehow. One way was as good as any other, if you could just get them inside the town.

And then finally there was the appointment between Roderick and the Mayor that you had inadvertently made. You had less and less time to find a way to intercept that invitation or include yourself in that activity, and if you went through all the trouble to set it up only to potentially lose your way in...

Never a dull moment in this Shade forsaken town.

Winning D&D is like winning football.

You cannot win the whole thing, no matter how good you are. All you can do is win a scenario (or match). There's no need to have an arbitrary end-goal, when D&D already consists of scenarios to win or lose.

>>44532058
Wait wait, don't be too hasty. I think this is a pretty interesting idea.

>>44531996
OP, how would you handle character death? Would you play out a revival arc or just have them roll a new character?

>>44531996
Your first major hurdle is going to be figuring out why characters know what their hit points and save bonuses are, and so on. Why are people capable of precisely measuring themselves mathematically?

It does lend to a good dystopian setup, though--lots of completely justified species-based discrimination.

>positive energy = life energy
>negative energy = anti-life energy

Anti-life energy is what animates the undead.

imagine it like PH balance

About to play my first game in a week or so and wanting to start out small. How would this list work out for a beginner?

Points: 15/15
The Butcher of Khardov (*6pts)
* Spriggan (10pts)
* War dog (1pts)
Winter Guard Infantry (Leader and 5 Grunts) (4pts)
* Winter Guard Infantry Officer & Standard (2pts)
* 2 Winter Guard Infantry Rocketeers (2pts)

>>44532210
Look legit. I mean, I don't play Khador, but I know cracking Spriggan in 15pts game would be pain in the ass.

>>44532210
looks fine to me, although it may be worth it to drop the infantry for another jack, or try to get kovnik joe in there.
