Didn't see one up, so let's get one going.

What's /tg/ been working on? What's your new favorite, your biggest headache, your idea that you want to flesh out but no one wants to hear it?

Just a general thread for share ideas, and asking for help.

Formerly /hbg/ - or Homebrew General.

Last Thread: >>44359324

A thread dedicated to discussion and feedback of games and homebrews made by /tg/ regarding anything from minor elements to entire systems, as well as inviting people to playtest your games online.

Try to keep discussion as civilized as possible, avoid non-constructive criticism, and try not to drop your entire PDF unless you're asking for specifics, it's near completion or you're asked to.

>Thread Topic:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using dicepools and bell curves over flat tests in more narrative-centered systems? Do you apply them on your system? Why (not)?

Your name is Jack… wait I'm getting ahead of myself.

This is more of a character creation game/test for interest, but if there is enough interest I'll try running the whole quest.

It's the year 20XX and network technology has been integrated into all aspects of life. In a small, relatively isolated town a massive automated farm provides almost 30% of Netopia's produce. The farm requires only a small team of engineers, an assortment of laborers for repairs, and a botanist to maintain. The botanist and her husband, the head engineer are the only people in town with a child, and growing up with no other children around had him mature a bit fast and he's been described as lacking social skills.

He has a custom Net Navi, which we'll be making now
(Also feel free to just discuss Battle Network General)

Age: 736

Location: Space

Information: Daikon and his fellow Saiyans finally confronted the tyrannical Frieza on the galactic Emperor's home turf. The battle was fierce, and, despite the Super Saiyan powers of both Daikon and Soko, Frieza proved more than a match for them. When Sabi was injured, Daikon tapped into further power, but it still wasn't enough. After nearly being killed, Daikon was healed, and confronted Frieza again, managing to defeat him. Victory came at a cost, however, as Rugula was killed. The Saiyans now return to their homeworld to inform King Vegeta of what has happened.

OK /tg/ I really need your help with somethin:

Last night, our DM decided it was a good idea to be a stupid piece of shit and kill my character off just because I Had to take care of some family stuff and I didnt really get much of a chance or forewarning that stuff was gonna happen. So get this, now he's like "YOU CAN COME BACK HURRR JUST MAKE ANOTHER CHARACTER!"

so,

I need your help
Help me make the most badass broken shit I can use to derail the game as hard as possible. I'm allowed to use any kind of sourcebooks, and it's 3.5e d&d. I do want to go as a Gnoll that way he doesn't suspect anything because he thinks I only play gnolls because of my fursona, but that's not really being called into the question. The point is,

tl;dr help me build an op gnoll.

pic semi-unrelated. I had to burn through two of these bad boys because I was so mad when I found out. Fuck that guy, he's an asshole.

DM here

Faggot in my campaign wants to do the following idea, should I let him?

>character is a fighter
>carries a large holster on his back full of 20 items
>some are weapons, some are novelty items like a rubber chicken or a whoopee cushion
>each of the 20 items has its own assigned number
>to draw a weapon he rolls 1d20 and picks the weapon corresponding to the number he rolled

I honestly think it's kinda dumb and not a fun idea at all, and will just get in the way. What do you guys think?

I am really not in the mood to be doing this. I cross my arms, scowling as I stare at the glowing red sign reading "In session". I've had a terrible week and I really can't stand sitting around waiting here, the only thing that makes it worse is that I keep losing my anger and end up falling into other emotions. Which just makes me even angrier when I eventually get mad again. First, of course, it's still been cold, really, really fucking cold, so I haven't been able to really outside for too long and slime 101 has been on hold since then, so I've had to spend most of my time in other classes or locked up inside. At least they turned up the heat so people like Kandence are comfortable and not freezing their asses off as they turn to monsticles.So yeah that alone is annoying, since I can't go outside for long at all without getting trapped in my own body like a block of ice.

Now that alone would be enough to annoy me, maybe even piss me off if I had a bad enough day or...you know, fell into it. But no, Dad hasn't been coming to school for most of the week for me to vent, since it turns out, Kara is starting to get fevers like I did before I turned, which...simply infuriates me, mostly because the first thought that got in my head was "Oh I can see and play with her again" and that makes it worse, because I don't want her to have to go through what I went and still am going through depending on the day. I know one reason I got used to being a slime so fast was having good friends, but mostly it was because Baba showed me why it happened and what I used to be...and because its hard to worry about that kind of stuff when you default to being at least some kind of happy, before moodswings have their say about how I'll feel.

It's just...I both want and don't want her to end up here with me. I sigh, frowning and sniffling as I wrap my arms back and lay back

MTG noob here. How do you make a deck? How do you organize the cards when picking out the desired ones? What kind of things should I keep in mind when adding in basic and special lands?

Kitchen casual general I guess .

The roof of the building you're perched on creaks as you shift your weight to keep a better eye on Nytora. Her new power is scary. You can't believe you got fire breath and the ability to chase bird sin their own element, and she still somehow got something cooler out of her evolution. Sighing, you suppress the bad feelings. You don't want to turn into a green lizard.

The ground groans a bit as you land on it. The woman Nytora saved, who was slowly crawling away, flinches and backs up faster when you land in front of her in the dark alley. Nytora inspects her blade as she walks over to you, stepping carefully over the puddles of blood. She blinks at you expectantly.

Pick one

Previously, our protagonist returned to Dragonfell, the city of her birth, and met with the Raven Queen and her small band of rebels against the iron rule of Sir Annandale. The Raven Queens generals turned out to be none other than old friends Esmeralda, cousin to the late heir to the throne, and Sir Roland, a once proud paladin who has taken a vow of silence to atone for his failure to stop Annandale's plans. After some discussion, our protagonist agreed to set out north, and ask for help from another skilled warrior, Russel of the wolfpack. Unfortunately, after a short lapse of judgment involving the blood of the ancient dragon, Russel did reveal himself, and the fact that his group was being hunted by the newly formed Rangers. The two of them now return to the forest, in hopes of convincing the Rangers to let Russel and his go free.

As you make your way through the familiar trees and brush, Russel looks around nervously. The two of you know these miles like the backs of your respective hands, and yet he seems to be slowing your speed significantly. It isn't until he stops completely before a small foxhole that you grow impatient.

>"Would you like me to hold your hand?"
>"They aren't going to get the jump on both of us."
>"Do you want to stop and rest?"
>Ignore him and press on

You are a Daemon prince. A former champion of chaos and one of its most deadliest assets, you were cast out of the warp for unknown reasons and are going head first on a collision course to an imperial planet at war with various other forces.

However, you are not alone, as other Daemon princes have been cast out and are heading for the same planet as you are.

Your mission for now is to survive. More details will come about as the game progresses.

Roll a 1d100 for how hostile the area you land in is. <50 is something you can probably handle. >50 means you should start running.

Rules:
1. Having been cast out of the warp, your body and soul have become vulnerable. You can no longer be banished, but if you are destroyed before you can find a host to posses, then your soul is sent into the void with no chance of becoming again.

2. As a Daemon prince, you have considerable power in your hands. However, you are still vulnerable to damage. Therefore, choose your battles wisely.

3. The more dangerous a situation is, however, the more loot you can take with you if you survive and beat the enemy. Running away means you forfeit loot unless you try and steal from another princes inventory.

4. Yes, you can try and destroy other Daemon princes. Don't expect to always succeed, however.

5. Have a name and a ##password in order to keep people from trying to steal your identity.

6. Everything will be determined by a d100 unless stated otherwise.

One final note: While I understand that fluff is an important aspect to 40K and going against it is considered worse than heresy, please remember that this is only a game we are playing. Were not here to discuss who is right and who is wrong when considering the fluff. Were only here to have fun.

BEGIN.

Roll d100 for hostility of landed area.
