Hi /tg

Cyberpunk 2020 referee here, I'm planning to try some Call Of Cthulhu with some friends, I wanted to ask you what kind of dice I'd need in this game (I only have D10/D6 one).

Tabletop RPG aren't very popular around here so I can't really have any advice in my area :/

How is playing an explosion wizard not the ultimate character?

Door in the way? Explode it.

Martials trying to club your face in? Explode them.

Pesky guard hassling your party? Explode him.

Have to pass a diplomatic check? Explode the king.

Entire realm angry at you for exploding everything? Explode the kingdom.

Cosmic horror from beyond the stars? Explosions.

Explosionmancy is the ultimate form of magic and combat.

Hello, I'm no drawfag, so this quest is going to be a little bit... Different.

You Anon's have a simple goal: Find out the truth about me using Yes/No questions only.

Also, you can ask for a maximum of two hints, but to ask for a hint you require the password hidden inside my brain.

Let's Begin.

Hi /tg/. Quick question to get all you worldbuilders thinking.

How do you differentiate dwarves from gnomes? Not just how dwarves are miners by trade, and their proportions are slightly different. These two races are very similar. How do you create obvious boundaries and make these two races nothing alike.

Also, this question stands for kobolds and goblins. Kobolds are usually less of tinkerers, but these small tribal green meanies are too alike in everything but appearance. Try to come up with some ways to separate these two as well.

This has always been a pet peeve of mine. (These races being so similar except for a select few traits.) I'm curious to see your responses.

Extra credit: How are orcs and gnolls different from eachother in everything but appearance? (both savage man sized humanoids, living in barbaric warring tribes, usually aggresive.)

You are Siegfried Schmidt, a former guard from the city of Morsland. Due to various circumstances, you have become the new wielder of Galadriel, a holy sword which houses a powerful six-winged angel of the same name. Now you have come to the White Watchtower, a fortress close to the border between the Forsaken Lands and the kingdom of Iseria, to train with the crusaders so that you can protect yourself from the demons that might come after you now that the sword is in your possession.

The first council meeting went well enough. You feel you did a good job arguing your case, though it seems some members of the council are more amenable to reason than others. Lord Moeller in particular seemed opposed to the Crusade, you imagine he will not be easy to sway at all. As though that were not enough to worry about, Leviathan has brought it to your attention that there may be spies within the council, something which you've been worried about since Zaphiel spoke with you in your dreams. As though on cue, you were alerted by Leviathan and Galadriel that they could sense some sort of presence coming from upstairs. While you found no demon when you came to investigate, you did find the body of Lord Kraemer, one of the councilmen. That's when you heard footsteps coming in your direction.

Date: 200 AVO (After Big One), Year of the Shield
Location: City of Kelvin, College of Mages

After saving the City of Kelvin by convincing the attacking Telvish army to retreat, Holly was horribly wounded. Her arm cut off, and a terrible sword wound on her belly. The healers told you that she would not make it, and you found that your repair gel would not work on her. All seemed lost.
But fate had other plans, and in the extreme emotional disturbance, a gift from your creator activated deep within you. A tiny fraction of your own life force zap Holly, and healed her grave wounds. Oddly enough, the rip in her flesh was replaced with that of strange, organic stone, similar to the kind that makes up one of the under lays of your body.
You, how ever, were still worried, and decided to go to the Mage College to have them examine her, to make sure that Holly was not in danger from her new skin.

Most of the Mages are still out in the city, helping repair things with their magics, but Rutheo and his wards remain. Liz and Shald are playing a game of Chess while Rutheo looks over Holly.
"Amazing." He says. "Tell me Gabriel, have you ever heard of the Dwarven Stone Bodily Repair?" You shake your head. Rutheo nods. "I cannot say I am surpirsed. It was rare, even when the Under Kingdom was at the height of its power. Or so the books say, that is. The theory behind it is similar to that of the mechanical limb replacements used my the Imperium. But with a special type of stone that only the Dwarves new how to mold." He looks at Hollys belly with a magnifying glass.

What are some RP systems that are easy for an idiot like me to GM?

I tried to run a D&D game for some friends recently and my players kept having to remind me of game mechanics. It was very casual but I probably should have put more time into committing stuff to memory. All that information is very daunting to keep on your mind while also keeping everyone engaged

Bonus points if there's an option for me to run a Spaceman campaign

Recently: You won your match against Ritchie, learned your next opponent is Dick, and have three days to prepare.

General rules:

There is a 10 minute voting period after each post. Non-contradictory votes will be combined as best as possible.

Write-ins for all votes or always welcome and encouraged. They may not all make it into the post or be altered to fit in, but I'll do my best to at least try to address the spirit of the write-in.

Very important or contentious votes may be redone in a stricter voting system as it comes up.

Combat involves rolls! Once there's a clear winner, we roll for the move accuracy/crit/secondary effect. Usually it's just three 1d100s. Sometimes you can get a modifier from circumstances, so be creative! Add flair, do tricks with moves, mess with terrain, whatever!

Call me out on a mistake and receive an apology butt or suggestive picture.

To the well-equipped traveler you say: “Mother-Bear welcome you stranger, I don’t see many folks up in the Blackpine, where might a well armed traveler fella like yourself be headed to?” He addresses you back, “Heya, m’names Franz. It’s a long story, and most of the story doesn’t belong to me. Anyway, you ever heard o’ the Lord o’ Fall?”

You know that the Lord of Autumn is ruler over the elves who live in the Unbroken Woods. It’s a week or two away from here.

You’ve only heard stories of his cruelty, and you know from fellow woodsmen that his elves aren’t too keen on human settlers getting closer and closer to their forests.

Hear ye, hear ye. I hereby call to order this meeting of the most illustrious Mages Guild! As some of you might know the Necromancers decided to declare war on the vampire kingdom of Tenebrus for some reason, I assume its some dispute about what's the superior undead or something. Anyway it seems that we have gotten complaints from the local vampire hunters that we are putting them out of a job and they are demanding that the guild compensates them for this. Now normally I'd just ignore them, or fireballs, but they've been protesting outside my office, and I hate the smell of roasted garlic, so you'll just have you come up with a way to get rid of them without using excessive fire.

Welcome to the Mages' Guild. Pick a name and join in! Conflicts are resolved with d20s when needed, or with playing it out. When the thread dies on /tg/, we keep it going on archive.4plebs For additional resources, please visit http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Mage%27s_guild
