A peaceful German town. The neatly tiled roofs of its houses don't reach very high, seldom higher than the frequent trees, keeping the blue skies clear to the thin crowds of citizens beneath, and the warmth and glow of the sun available for all. You’ve heard that, in larger human cities, such commodities are absent. They say that the skies there are hidden behind tall buildings and obscured by industrial smog; man's selfish progress at the expense of the world.

It is the duty of the Shinigami to keep humanity safe, but not from itself.

Back in Soul Society, especially within the Seireitei, it is sometimes hard to see the sun as well.

You are Tsukuda Ryouta, standing on one of those rooftops and watching a fellow Shinigami bleed. His neck is torn open, blood trickling and pooling between the tiles and dripping down onto the ground below. Naturally, the people remain undisturbed. Indeed, it would be strange for someone to notice a spirit's blood.

You sheathe your sword and set away the device with which you've gathered a sample from the Hollow you've just slain. Your communication device in the shape of a hi-tech cellphone is still showing an absence of a signal. You can't call for immediate help; you'll have to rely on Hell Butterflies to deliver your message.

Or perhaps it's better to simply drag the wounded Satoshi back to Soul Society yourself. It'll be the fastest help he could hope for, but at the same time, there might be something more to this small town. The young man could already be dead. It's not your duty to help him. But perhaps it's the right thing to do, even if it's at the potential expense of your job. You can't really tell. When should you put others above duty, and when should your duty be put above others?

...

>Carry Ito Satoshi back to the Seireitei.
>Leave him here for now; send a Hell Butterfly requesting help. There might be more to this town that you haven't seen yet.
>Other. (Write-in).

>send a hell butterfky
I mean, there is still something more here, since the signal is still being blocked by something. As for this guy, currrnt theory is he was over-reliant on his Zanpakuto's homing abilities it seems, and he was duped by a hollow with the ability to 'throw' its reiatsu and then retreat. That's why he has multiple reports killing the same hollow. It's unclear why the hollow decided to finish the job now instead of continuing the game though.

Why do you hate Dark Sun?

Is it because of that MST3k episode of "Outlaw of Gor" that you refuse to run a campaign of Dark Sun?

Sir Horvath looked upon the dying wizard at his feet, the dead minions that surrounded them. The wizards plans had been foiled, his evil empire crushed. Sir Horvath had done it, after four years of campaigning across the northern wastelands, fighting in two separate wars, finding and subsequently losing the love of his life, inciting a rebellion that lead to the total ruin of the grand city of Kinsvik and getting elected as the Supreme Magistrate of The Order of The Eagle, he (and the army he had amassed) had brought down the tyrannical ruler of the north, the evil wizard Beghaer and his marauder armies.

The wizard was still alive, which was surprising considering the horrific wounds he had suffered. Maybe it was through pure stubborness or magical prowess, but he was still alive. Sir Horvath, the only survivor of the force directly attacking the wizards inner sanctum, leaned over his dying nemesis, waiting for the light in his eyes to fade. To his surprise, the wizard spoke. "There are hidden treasures in here, Paladin. Many rooms filled with riches your looting army will never find" He said, sputtering a drizzle of blood and saliva across his chest. "If you help me heal myself, and escape, it could all be yours"
Sir Horvath leaned over his fallen enemy, face set in stone, an iron hard gleam in his eyes. He grabbed a handful of the wizards black robes and pulled him close, "The only thing I want to know from you, abomination, is this" He pulled the wizard even closer, and in an almost inaudible whisper "I need to find the pantry, a man needs some bread and milk"

Here's the story:

Game noght the other night, we were playing King of Tokyo. However, we immediately noticed that all the monsters were kind of boring. I've decided to make some monster cards and standups of my own to use next time we play. I'll either just print them here, or maybe go to staples or something to print them on cardstock.

Any requests?

Ah, welcome, to the ends of the world, traveler. I’ve been expecting you, of course. No need for introductions, your memories make for an excellent resume. Your name is Seymor Treekiller and you come to play the Game of Fate against me.

I will arrange a deck for you, each card will have an encounter for you to overcome. Or perhaps it will overcome you. I will lay the cards face down, and you will move your game-piece from card to card.

You’ll get the hang of it, don’t worry.

You feel satisfied, as if in coming here all of your apprehensions were dismissed. You settle eagerly and await as cards flit through the air before your eyes. You snatch glimpses at some of the words on the cards as they arrange themselves. “Lurking Arinx, Doomed Traveler, Lonely Road”. After a few minutes a neat row of them settle before you, and a small bronze pawn lands on the leftmost card.

“I have opened the way. All you must do is take the first step.”

((You may chose one Meta action and one Board action a turn, the person with the highest roll out of 10 will be the decider. Any ties are resolved by me, as I deem appropriate))

Depends on the group.

If they're cool with you playing a skelly and you aren't inappropriate with it (derailing everything with awful bone puns for example), then you're not that guy.

If you ignore the group asking you not to make a skelly or you ruin other people's fun playing one, you are that guy.

What's Guild Ball?

Short answer: The best game you haven't played

Slightly longer answer: Medieval mob ball crossed with gladiator combat from the coliseum.

Long Answer: Guild Ball is a table top skirmish game for a fantasy sport. You win by reaching a set amount of points before your opponent, which are gained by taking out his team, scoring goals, or a mix of the two. Playing Football or focusing entirely on combat are equally viable ways to win.

Teams represent one of the various trade guilds, currently there are 8 playable guilds with more being released next year. Guild ball is simple to pick up but hard to master. Teams are composed of six models, fielding a team for a full sized game costs <$100 USD.

Rules and templates for proxy models are available for free http://guildball.com/#downloads

Abridged Lore:
> Stupid humans are stupid humans and start fighting amongst themselves. Conflicts continue and escalate, strings of wars break out across the entire continent that become known as the Century War
> Century War is fucking ruining everything. The various trade guilds realise this is ultimately going to do nothing but bankrupt them and leave all their customers dead.
> Guilds unite behind the political scenes and simultaneously lean on all the weakened countries to eventually broker a peace.
> Realising that humans are fucking stupid ass animals, if they don't give them something to channel their aggression and nationalistic pride into the peace will be shortlived and the wars will resume.
> Guilds nationalise mob football, a popular peasant game in every country, as Guild Ball. Guild Ball essentially becomes Europe's The Premier League + Roman Gladiator fighting.
> Guild ball is keeping the peace but also making the guilds a fuckload of money.

> Nobody stocks the game in my country!

Talk to your LGS, or, if human contact really is too painful for you, shop online at these American retailers

> I've got nobody to play with!

Do you really not have any friends, anon? Do you not go to a local wargaming club? Download the free rules, that come with free proxies, and invite a friend to play with you.

Or you know it's Christmas, stop being a cheap fuck and buy your buddy a starter pack as a gift and play with them.


> It's a Blood Bowl/Dreadball clone ripoff

No it's not you retarded fuck look at any of the material in the OP.
>>
I don't like how killing is part of the score for winning the game, as well as goals.

In Blood Bowl, you can maim or kill half the other side, and whilst it will mean you're more likely to win, you can still lose 2-1 to that last minute Hail Mary.
>>
>>44108053
It's an integral part to how the game is balanced. Some factions are really shite at the football, if they couldn't score by taking out their opponents they'd never win. It's possible for a Football oriented guild to kick 3 goals in 1 turn and win if they completely outmaneuver their opponent.

It's also integral to the theme, the game is as much a game of gladiator combat as it is football.

Is it wrong that I want to play mary-sue characters?

Human fighters and half-orc barbarians just don't interest me as a player. They're naturally pigeon holed into something bland whose stereotype has been thoroughly explored and inverted and beaten into an easily recognizable state no matter what you do. I'm not saying that they're bad, but I'm just not into it. Sometimes I stare at the D&D races and classes and sigh. Once the new and shininess of 5e wears off it's not much for customization.

>inb4 not good enough to make bland characters interesting.

But why would I settle for boring when I can make something a little interesting by default even more interesting?

well you can go for unique/weird combinations without playing "mary-sue" characters
>>
You realize that a character is more than a handful of mechanically-defined options, right?
>>
>>44107827
See, heres the thing m80: An abnormal character is not inherently a Mary Sue.

What defines a Mary Sue is more their role in the plot (they happen to be in the perfect position to solve all problems ever), their power level (unbeatable unless it will let the creators love interest comfort/protect them) and the fact that every character usually knows them already.

Make a weird character, fucking go for it. Nothing wrong with weird. If you want to make an actual Mary Sue, go for fanfic writing. Its near impossible in ttrpgs without DM collusion and that pisses people off.

I am trying to conjure a rule so my players will buy helmets. But I can't seem to come up with anything good and realistic. I am using the D&D Rules Encyclopedia. So far all I have is:

>If a character is faced in a melee fight without a helmet, first make an attack roll against the character's AC, if the hit is successful, roll a second attack with an AC of 10, if the hit is successful the character receives full damage including all the modifiers with it. If the second roll is a natural 20, and the attack is made with a sword or axe, then the character's head is decapitated, otherwise if a blunt weapon is used the character receives a permanent -4 to their Intelligence ability score.

Any help or personal ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Maybe all-out war would destroy a chunk of their realms, so the gods turn to less violent solutions.
Good gods try to live in harmony with the Evil gods while Evil gods look for more subtle, non-zero-sum ways to wipe out the Good gods.

What's your favorite orbital-reentry assault vehicle /tg/?

Are they viable? Are they safe? which fiction did them best?

I'm thinking of running a three shot of mid Sci-fi focused on an orbital assault on a heavily defended planet. the players will be the very first wave, expected to die and ordered to soften the defenses for following waves.

I forget if they had a name but I dug the suicide assault teleporter from Riddick.
What it was, you had a squad make landfall then fight their way as deep into enemy defenses as they could, then last guy standing would set up the teleporter beacon as he's getting filled with lead. Couple second later you have a metric shitload of back up popping up without a sound. Perfect entry for bad guys.
