> using mood music in an RPG

How does it feel to be a shitty DM?

Seriously, I have seen mood music used seven times over my years of playing RPGs, and it has only been effective ONCE by someone who was a good DM anyway.

Either you play music that your players don't like and it pisses them off, or you time it shittily, or it's playing out of your shitty laptop speakers that you use at the table as an excuse to not be away from technology for more than five goddamn seconds to play a roleplaying game.

Music in RPGs is just terrible. That's why 90% of groups don't use it.

Necromunda is an oldschool tabletop skirmish game (though it does have a few RPG elements), and I was thinking of just having it play at low volume in the background. The standard heroic/glorious-charge type stuff doesn't seem to really be all that in-tone for Necromunda since your gangs are essentially scum bickering over scraps.

((On a completerly unrelated note, I've had background music work pretty well a few times in games I've run (I got positive comments on it from players afterwards), but it generally has to be used in moderation and you have to have set up the playlist to provide enough of the right tempo/theming for each scene/encounter you are using it during.))

mind, having to think about what to play while playing punk gang war the game doesn't speak well on OP

At first there was a rush of emotions. Anger, confusion. It came raw and fast and large. Your consciousness rode its wake into awareness,

And then it was like a dream. You looked and observed and moved. You felt a deep calm, a calm so deep you didn't even know to all it calm--until you had something to compare it to.

Such as anxiety.

"Do you want us to bring you something?" The red ghosts asks already nodding his head in advance or whatever you say.

You barely pay attention to him. Something is wrong...something doesn't feel right....something is wrong with...

MY BODY MY MEMORIES MY SOUL MY PERSONALITY MY LIFE MY MIND MY MY MY MY

ME. SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH ME.

(I think I died...Oh god, I think I died...)

The ghosts all stare at you.

They're frightened by what they see.

Even the blue one starts flinching from you.

You feel nothing but anxiety. Something is wrong. Something doesn't feel right. You have to DO something, either run or fight or...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?

WHAT DO I DO?

If you leave this as a free floating feeling in your...new mind/body construct BAD THINGS will happen. You have to give a name to your troubles before you can confront it.

To be specific, is something wrong with our BODY or is something wrong with our MIND?

its the new MOBA-lite top down shooter

you have SoB working with Khorne Berserkers and Tau Ethereals!

>>44170580
Because not doing so earns them more dosh

Because cooperation is gay, and fuck you. It's a setting, not a plot.

The hell is an SO?

Significant Other. I could have said boyfriend but I feel that's kinda shallow, haha

Have you considered Queens Blade figures? A surprising amount of /tg/ are QB fans.

No surprise there. Cool how he plays on the reader's expectations.

He looks really fucked up though, kind of a bad shape to enter combat in.

And Belkar continues to be best member of the Order.

Thog when?

Good morning Touhoufag.

>Gunslinger
Not fancy, just a duster/leather armor (yes I know it's unrealistic).

>Brawler
Sorta fancy, but more "wrestler's iconic outfit" than "suit and tie."

>Inquisitor
Dressed sharply, but the suit itself isn't overdesigned or anything.

In an uncharacteristic stroke of open-mindedness, my DM is letting me play a Warder, but since I'm brand new to PoW I have a couple of questions.

As a zweihander sentinel, is the only way I can pick up Silver Crane maneuvers through taking the Advanced Study feat? And if I want to switch out readied maneuvers, does it take the same amount of time as it does to initially prepare them?

why wouldn't there be magic guns? people cast magic. they can enchant things to make them do magic when they aren't around to do magic themselves. it can do all the functional things of an exploding shell with none of the chemistry. do you actually have any real arguments against a fantasy setting having an earlier development of guns relative to a real world time line?

Guns in fantasy are great, except when introduced like this.

I mean, it was probably meant as the "big shocking reveal", but if you're going to do that, have someone show up to a siege with a cannon brigade. Late medieval cannons were scary as hell.

This comic is weird, because it's like the entire goal is to make you dislike every person in it, and they're succeeding triumphantly.

Its cool dude, dont worry about it. You got a life to lead, we understand. After all, minis and shit dont come for free.

Is this the post we need to link to or is it a different one?

>>44169456
You just cannot catch a break with regards research

Cleric or Druid

Warblade/some tome of battle class is probably the est you can do if you want no spellcasting.

>>44169288
Cleric, followed by druid

>>44169129
Personally I think that it's either white, green or red. Blue much less likely and absolutely not black.

>>44169129
blue because all blue mages should kill themselves.

>>44169129
I think blue/black is the crazy schizophrenic colors. might also be a suicidal person too.

That's depressing. Level 7 is right in the middle of 3.pf's sweet spot. Beyond like level 12 you're in the wizard justice league

Hey guys, I'm back! Can anyone give me a recap of what happened in the last thread?

>Is still driving off with Alice.
So... any plan where you want to go actually? Or we're just driving off through the desert?

>>44168574
...so.. you going anywhere with this or what?

First line, I was like, oh great, another paladin wannabe moralfag.

Then I got to the end.

Bravo! Source?

Welcome to the world of Shadowrun, you'll get along swimmingly.

As for the intended situation for the group
>Each player used to be a member of a previous tribe, but got exiled and marked as undesirables/scarred (using something obvious/fairly easily doable like a huge X across their face).
>They have however joined a new tribe founded by other exiles which consists of a mixture of races aswell as religion rather than being mostly uniform.
>In the interest of their own safety, the tribe has settled away from water streams, favoring seclusion at the cost of being dependent on rainfall to grow their crops.
>Since it consists of exiled criminals the players' tribe might have a reputation as bogeymen, desperate weaker tribes might seek them out for help ("if people are scared of the crossface tribe they must be capable")

For currency I would look at usable items- flints, furs, hides, etc. Trade, if any, was barter.

I know you said 5e, but you should give this game a read. It really fits the mindset of a Neolithic game.
