Oh fuck me, that thing! I remember that very vaguely. Somewhere out there the stuff still exists, I guarantee it. I wanna remember it getting highly complex for the syntax and final product of the magic circles.

Keep searching Anon, cause I wanna reexperience that shit too!

Just you and me I guess, anon. Shall we collate what we know? The idea of a circular system that's sort of like programming is great.

Is that a blood moon ban? Why? Might as well hit choke too.

jesus christ wizards just cannot into rulings can they?

>>44373696
Maybe because it isn't "fun" to play against? I have been salty since Birthing Pod ban, and now I am playing Merfolk. Thanks wizards for being douchebags.

You have no idea of what you're doing.

You are an idiot.

>>44373364
Awful change. Dex already covers Ranged attacks, AC, and numerous skills. Strength only covers melee attacks, damage, and a few skills.

We did, actually. It was pretty awesome. A bittersweet ending to the campaign and some very dear characters.

Our group had a christmas special.

Our GM recycled the birth of Jesus by putting in aliens who had a baby that had to be born.

Our team of superheroes had to go get three things (a mirror, the head of a frankenstein's monster and a gold bar) for the baby to be born, all the while fighting off evil aliens who wanted to kill the baby.

We got to the little hotel garage where the good aliens had holed up in to deliver the three things at the end of the session.

Not a Christmas Special, but I'm hosting a one-shot for some of my hometown friends now that we're all back for the holidays. Don't want to post too many details since I've yet to run it and I know at least two of the players also frequent this board.
I just hope I don't dissappoint them.

Why do we have 2 breads?

My little Qlippoth can't be this cute!

So /pfg/, my sister wants me to help her and her friends get into tabletop when they get together for new years. The problem is that I have only played online, don't have any physical dice, have never GMed before, and only have experience with pathfinder. If I was going to actually do this, I figured I'd throw Golarian out the window and write up some generic fantasy setting bullshit to toss together, along with a semi-sandboxy list of oneshot scenarios for them to pick from. If it's just a one-time thing, they probably won't care enough to notice all the holes in the setting anyway, and I know none of them will recognize some of the blatantly stolen ideas from /tg/. To save time I'd probably have to make a bunch of pre-built character sheets beforehand, starting them at around level 4-5 to avoid the floundering rusty shanktown status of lower levels.

How fucked am I? How hard is it to explain the basics to a group of say, 4-5 people? I'm so shit at explaining things, I'm afraid I'll start losing my shit if I don't have anything prepped. Will I sound like a fucking tool if I try to give a disclaimer about how pathfinder is kind of a fucked up system, and I'm only using it because I'm used to it and know (mostly) how it works?

The worst part is they'll all probably forget and not care, but I don't want to have to throw shit together at the last second. Better to have something all written out and sperg a little inside when it isn't used than have to sperg on the outside with nothing.

You deserve it.

>>44372650
Doesn't sound too bad. What's the game's setting.

>>44372521
First of all I was trying to think about the Calico Stars and the places within them, so I came up with areas that divided the star cluster.

The areas controlled by the Colonial Powers (the local planetary powers in the Calico Stars that represent the Imperium), the Neutral Zones that the Colonial Powers left in order to not ignite conflicts between themselves and which serve as no-mans lands, and the Abyss that lies in a forbidden zone that is rumored to have STC and many techno-artifacts but which also has something that makes entire fleets dissapear.

I also added a place engulfed with a localized Warp Storm so that Chaos Fleets would come out to plague the systems and called it the Tempest Rift.

>>44372593
In terms of non-Imperial factions, there are all factions presented, but each one has some spins of their own.

The Eldar are represented by Craftworld Ill-Zanath that can be described as some sort of Singapore/Honk-Kong with Eldar from various places coming to it. Ruled by the Corsair Lord Ramman and his Star Walkers, they do sack Imperial trade fleets and take their goods and sometimes even plunder whole planets to increase their infamy. They and the Black Locks jump at each other's throats, but they do come to agreements to fight alongside each other when a common threat appears...and after it is vanquished the two factions resume jumping at each other's throats. Still they have some sort of respect for each other.

>>44372664
Keep this thread alive.

I've written in storythreads before. Want a specific story? I'll give it to you. Want some fluff on other factions? Sure.

Merry Christmas, Anon!

Happy Holidays!

>>44371951
There is snow on the ground,
And the valleys are cold,
And a midnight profound
Blackly squats o'er the wold;
But a light on the hilltops half-seen hints of feastings un-hallowed and old.

There is death in the clouds,
There is fear in the night,
For the dead in their shrouds
Hail the sin's turning flight.
And chant wild in the woods as they dance round a Yule- altar fungous and white.

To no gale of Earth's kind
Sways the forest of oak,
Where the sick boughs entwined
By mad mistletoes choke,
For these pow'rs are the pow'rs of the dark, from the graves of the lost Druid-folk.

>BBEG
You didn't have to keep going, we could tell your GM was shit from the start.

>GM gets sad we don't play into his magical realm
>Feel bad for so do it anyway

There's no winning.

Man why not just change the damn bbeg if it's such a big deal.

Depends on the game?

If the wizard buying bat-guano, the fighter sperging about swords, the rogue masturbating to his coins and the cleric flagellating himself for his god aren't boring for the players, I don't see why the alchemist doing alchemist stuff would be.

Also, while I loathe PF, their alchemist class ios actually really cool and versatile in the stuff it can do and can be built for.

It's a great adaptation of the atmosphere, with solid characters that have awesome depth spread throughout subtlety and not so subtlety.

But table top? Yea sorta, I'm fighting skaven right now in my whfrpg and its going pretty well but were kinda screwed against the hordes you see in the game. Pretty low-level tho

>>44370762
it's more of a xcom warhammer

For theme? Sure does!
Is it the mordheim you loved playing for shenanigans and crazy wall climbing? No.

>>44370554
I'd have the Imperium kill them. Or at least have the orks do it and have th imperial claim it as their master plan.

>>44370554
Squat 'em.
Say a Chaos god finally noticed their sorry asses or something.

they get enslaved by Dark Eldar and turned into all kinds of disgusting creatures by the covens
