Jacket is CN

Fans are CN bordering on CE, they enjoy hurting people but are at least conscientious enough to focus on scumbags, most of the time

Beard is TN, for him it was all just a bad job that he quit

Pardo is either NE or CE, he kills people for attention

Jake is LG, helping to free the United States from the Russian menace

Richter is TN, everything he does he was coerced into doing

The Henchman and The Son are both basically NE

Evan is NG or LG

With Martin Brown it depends on whether what he did was all part of the film, or whether the director was just in his head

>How should GMs vet players who want to join their game?
- Ask for a character concept and their past RPG experience. Nothing too complex, nice and short.
- Toss out people that go on for more than a few paragraphs, blatant That Guys, people who clearly didn't read the campaign pitch/setting info, people with poor character concepts

>How should players vet a GM/game that they want to join?
- Some setting and background info available in the LFG for all to see.
- Amount of experience DMing and RPing

Fuck Roll20

how do you even play in roll20? purely text? do you hang out on skype with strangers and roll actual dice on your own, separated from the rest?

is there a built-in voice/video chat?

>>44363639
...so er, is this instead of or in addition to the actual reward?
Health potions, expeditionary supplies, combat supplies, hirelings and arcane reagents aren't cheap. I'm not a charity.

I'll take the tourney. I'm fucking at least getting fed and a free show for that hassle. Can't do shit with a marble status but I sure as hell can eat a big free pie and laugh at a dude falling off of a horse.

>-The royal chef will create and name a pie after you
Fuck yeah. I want it to be extra delicious and contain potatoes and fish.

>>44363639
>-A special commemorative silver piece will be issued and distributed with your likeness
I don't want commemorative. I want to be on the fifty cent piece.

guard: if you're playing straight up guard with 100% infantry you might as well kill yourself.
otherwise they have the best vehicles, mechanized army, tanks, artillery, etc.
aka, an actual army. you play IG if you're a WARgame fan, and want to play something involving a lot of strategy and real life tactics (or something).
they're the most grounded faction anyway, compared to super space robots in space or space soldiers wearing super space robot armor in space and using magical space robots and demons.

orks: okay I'm not going to spend too much trying to explain how interesting they are and why the grimderp universe needs some really good comic relief, or the inexplainable fact that ever since 3rd edition no one has had more fun playing with or AGAINST ork armies. I really don't know why, but if you play against orks and don't have fun just give up.

What orks also have is a way to make army building even more fun in that they can convert and scratchbuild pretty much literally everything.
I'm talking about buying a $2 toy car and using plasticard and other shit to make a trukk or wagon.
you can make your artillery be catapults and trebuchets if you want.

want to take giant squigs in your army but don't want to spend $600 on forgeworld?
get some dinosaur toys or some shit I don't know.
want to make a stompa or a gargant out of literal garbage?
go ahead.
you can even get a titan without taking out a mortgage by making it yourself.
if it looks like shit, congratulations you have a looted titan.

>comic relief
exactly
a whole race serving as a fucking comic relief
who would like to play a walking gag?

>>44362799
The only people who don't realize Orks are just taking the piss are mongoloids

Guard are for people who don't want to fight as Captain Faggius the Honorable of the Sixth Company of the Death Skulls Chapter.

I get that Space Marines are the cash cows of the franchise but they really are the reason why the setting is so fucking boring. Everyone else has to job to them just to bang is over the head how they're so much more heroic than the common man.

There was a WoD game where somehow the party ended up divided between who they wanted to give a certain important person to, and it ended up with me taking a potshot at another party member... And they then proceeded to fill me with automatic weapon fire and kill me. Fair enough, I think.

>>44362176
>>44362462
what's with WoD that makes players go against each other more than in any other game/setting?

>>44362492
WoD is the mario party of RPGs, everyone has the same goal but nobody can achieve it at the same time

They look pretty small. I bake them into small lozange shaped biscuit-cake things and eat them.
Then lock myself in a cellar somewhere with a gatling wand gun contraption aimed at the entranceway.

Is she aware that my inside is a hollow space

This test seems anticlimactic

>>44361877
Enlarge person

May as well name your character "Circulatory System", because it's equally apt.

You seem to have made a mistake. My name is actually "I-Bull." Now, please step aside and present your wife.

He once had his hair set on fire, and then claimed that all of his hair was a single GREAT FLAMING EYEBROW.

It's just kinda stuck since then.

His gaze was so calm
in the face of calamity,
the perfect picture of
a guardsman of humanity.

Who was this brave hero
whose position I'd spied,
warring against
this unstoppable tide?

I now knew that all humans
I would see this night,
owed their lives to these guardsmen
who were willing to fight.

Soon all round the galaxy
the children would play,
and grownups would praise
the bright Emperor's Day.

They all lived their lives
every month of the year,
Because of brave guardsmen
like the one standing here.

A tear came to my eye
for those who stood alone,
on a cold Emperor's Day Eve
on a planet far from home.

Their great sacrifices
I could never betray
So I drew my burning sword
to join in the fray

The soldier did turn
and I heard a rough voice.
"My Emperor, rest easy,
this death is my choice;

I fight for a freedom
that may never be found,
but not ever shall I waver
on Your sacred ground."

Then the Guardsman turned
to face the incursions
of the foul xenos and
their unholy perversions

I kept watch for hours,
until the night was still
and the guardsman lay broken
on the bloody red hill.

I could not just leave
on that cold grim dark night,
this guardian of honor
so willing to fight.

And as the guardsman lay dying,
his soul strong and pure,
he cried, "Ave Imperator!
It's Emperor's Day! This world is secure!"

I kneeled before the fallen,
A great victory he'd won.
"Happy Emperor's Day my guardsman,
rest in peace, my son."

Let him on the front lines, but be wary of him: I'll have to have a long talk with him... get to know him better, his motives for being with us.

Can't have any traitors among us.
That would be inconvenient.

To fight the abyss, one must know it.

I'd say "SUCK MY DICK GROGNARDS, YOUR COLLECTIONS DO NOT PAD MY WALLET" and then I'd reprint everything on the reserved list. SIMULTANEOUSLY.

All would be at mythic rare status. People would buy packs hand over fucking fists and about 50 fat useless pieces of fucking shit with their Vintage/Legacy collections would kill themselves and NO ONE would care because they do not benefit the game at all.

>>44351944
Honestly why the fuck does wizards care about retards with their 50 foil Jaces and Force of Wills? Ive been trying to get into legacy for ages but I cant fucking find any cards

>>44352027
Even if you do, it's almost impossible to trade for them.
>>44351916
Legacy needs reprints outside of standard blocks, half of it would warp the format to much, so more like conspiracy with a shut ton of legacy stuff or a legacy masters like MM1 and 2. Legacy is alive on mtgo since there are no reprunt rules for digital.

>building/playing/hating
Just moved and can't find a decent legacy group which is painful

I'll post some copypasta locations I've seen on /tg/ before, OP. These are just short summaries.

God Drums - a series of large circles of barren ground amidst the eastern steppes, which produce loud echoing sound if one marches over them.

The Bloody Willow, at the center of Eis Forest. From a distance, it appears to be normal, apart from the scarlet collar of its leaves. It regularly compels people from nearby areas to come and sleep under its branches, where they die and have all of their blood drained.

Ancient civilization dies, nomadic tribe uses massive temples and buildings that were carved into a cliff face left by them to hide from tornados, floods, etc. One day earthquake collapses destroying large part of the ruins, blocking off half the tribe. Half left inside find ancient gardens and begin to restructure their society around this isolated city.

Also if you want to make good maps drop inkarnate and learn Photoshop.

What does this "minotaur" society even entail? The minotaur is a unique creature in myth, so you'd first have to define the race you just invented.

>How would you no magic realm?
I wouldn't

>How would you full magic realm?
Minotaur's always sire and/or birth more minotaurs, they have no society behind roaming tribes of raiders.

>>44349534
>When you use the Attack action and attack with a onehanded weapon, you can use a bonus action to attack with a loaded hand crossbow you are holding.
Nothing stopping you from using a Rapier, or any other non-twohanded weapon. The two weapon fighting rules for using light weapons aren't related in this case.

I introduced the way of four elements monk style into my pre-5E campaign setting with a kobold monk who has become the master of the style who teaches others his philosophy. He gives out shades instead of belts.

People often min-max into optimal efficiency, so here's a thought:

How would you max-min to make the least efficient character possible?
