I prefer Luke as in VI and with a green saber.
Prequel Jedis should have been like that, not like Ben.

I hate how all sith end up becoming tyrants. There should be more that don't give a shit about ruling at all and just chill and do their thing without caring for everyone else.

Oops, forgot to put the /5eg/ title in. Sorry gents.

well done

anyway, where do you guys get inspiration for the worldbuilding when you DM?
I'm about to start a short campaign, because our usual DM will be out of town for a month or so. The world is supposed to be a mashup of gaming and book related lore which I like, cause our usual DMs world is similarly build around a mix of mtg, wow and might & magic lore

Because when someone randomly posts a thread about some weird RPG and tries to get everyone interested in it, it usually sounds pretty fake.

Like, most people asking about an RPG usually post something along the lines of "Does anyone play whatever?" and that's it.

So when you get posts like "Anyone play whatever? It's really good and nice and new and indie and on sale right now." It's pretty obvious of their intent.

When devs show up in threads about their products that are already running, it's pretty obvious they're not there to hawk their product. Everyone in the thread is most likely already owning it or interested, after all.

>>44206768
>someone tries to drum up interest

That's what shilling is.

Ironically, I wouldn't mind at all if developers came here to promote their game. Like they created a thread, used a trip, and as well as showing and talking about their game and posting info and insider pics, they also answered questions and took input and stuff. Not like an ongoing general thread every day or so, but every once in awhile? Sure.

When someone does it for free though, even someone who has nothing to do with the developers or the game? No way.

Why not just buy a pre-rrlease one? They're a lot cheaper and are foil

>I don't want to have the card be obviously fake, but not real enough to be called out on.

... what?

>>44207922
He's trying to buy forged cards, anon.

Most people use them for EDH/casual when the real deal is $20+.

The quality of knock-offs is so good now that you really can't tell, ESPECIALLY in a sleeve. You have to be a special kind of autist to hold a card up and squint and bust out a magnifying glass to look for interlacing and shit.

Which, yeah, they do at a big tournament, but most people are getting away with murder out there.

Laugh as my inervating field soon kills them and raises my casterlevel for each death.

Hey you can pick your friends but you can't pick your family, others pick them for you.

"We need the Rose cultists," you decide at last. "Even with as few numbers as they have they're better than the soldiers we don't have. That means taking out the mercs that are digging near here."

"Those'll be mine," River says quietly. "I was on patrol when we got ambushed. Black Hammer company, currently with two oni attached, supervised by one of Lisa's subordinates."

"She has subordinates?" Nathan asks.

"Yeah. Name's Kelly. Her mother was a traveling minstrel. Her father was a very persuasive rakshasa."

You stare flatly at the elf. "She's a catgirl demon?"

"Yep."

"Amy, next time, we bring booze, so I can drink statements like that out of my life and never remember them again."

Amy flashes you a grin.

"What can we expect?" Nathan asks.

"Black Hammer's hardened troops, but they're scared of the demon and the oni. Take them out, and the rest will probably disperse. Honestly, between Lisa not shelling out for healing and the Keepers being as vicious as they've been, morale is shit. They might just pull out."

"Good to know," you note. "What do you know about oni?"

"Big. Big weapons. Fast for their size, persuasive, ugly as sin, and mean. And before you ask, the only thing I know about Kelly is that she calls men and women into her tent every night and they show up needing medical attention in the morning."

"I don't like it," Nathan muses. "Lots of unknowns. And with the environment this cramped, we'll probably have to turn any attempt at recon into an ambush."

"What if someone assassinated the demon?" Amy proposes. "Fetch or I could do it." The undead chicken preens, proudly.

"Definitely a thought..."

Okay, I vote to die trying

Eh, my character has the body strength for it.

What, did you think she would lose her momentum and not drag us both over or something?

However the writer wants.

They party all night because they don't need sleep and can't feel anything anymore

>>44200037

Are they sapient individuals or sapient hivemind? Because that would be two very different results.

Ok I have a player who thinks he does not need more then one sin and uses his "real name" Now the type of game I'm running has them doing legal work but I wanted to know if there is any rules on tracking a sin or do the person in question just need to know the right people?

>>44199253
NOOOOOOOOO

>>44199756
Well there are rules for checking a fake sin, and if it fails once then it will fail any and all future tests of any type.
The SIN is used to track purchases at legal establishments, licenses and things like rent and bills. so if you have access to the SIN database you could see those things as well as when and where the SIN was checked for validity.
As far as tracking where they are right now from their SIN, I would say a matrix perception looking for a commlink broadcasting that SIN then you would have to get marks on it then run a trace.

If the person knows the right people and never buys things from "legal" places and lives in a place that doesn't care about sin (like an slum apartment for orks and trolls), then their SIN wont have much to track. or they might know a decent ID forger who can get them more than one SIN.

These are all terrific questions. You're lucky that roll20 has mapping ability, because I've played over IRC and had to post imgur links to MS Paint maps.

I don't have any good advice at the moment.

>>44199294
I've only played Black Crusade over Roll20, but it worked out quite well.

Most challenges that work on the tabletop work well on roll20, and things like riddles or other puzzles that involve secret information that one player has and others don't are perfect for this system, as it is possible to send private messages to one player without any of the others knowing.

Nothing particularly problematic except for a couple random crashes, but that was a while ago, so maybe the problem is fixed.

>>44199415
>>44199488
So nothing specific to online games?

Okay, what are some things you can't do?

Like do you have to allow meta talk? I know most DMs do, but some don't. And I imagine it would be an issue.

Same shit, different name.

Every game was always about spamming best shit. Now it's formations

>>44198253
At least formations give some mediocre units a use now. How many people would have given Tomb Blades, Assault Marines, Infiltrators, or Stealth Suits if they weren't useful in formations?

>>44198253
This >>44199108

WAACfags are going to spam the most efficient option regardless of what the rules are. If anything, formations are a boon for fluffy lists, since they usually require lesser-used units, give you benefits for weaker squads, and let you more carefully tailor what your force consists of. If you want an all-tank Eldar army, you can do that now without going unbound or having to invest in troops or an HQ.

How far out should I go to make a *** artifact? What charms do I need to survive the trip?

>>44195657
So would copying someone be Awareness or Lore, do you think? I don't mean pretending to be someone, I mean literally copying their moves. I mean, "seeing what someone is doing down to the smallest detail" is awareness, but "learning really fast" is lore so there's some overlap, but which ability is the more important?

>>44196455
Perception or Wits + relevant combat skill
