What's the best way of killing in an Assassin game?
Tricking them into assassating themselves.

Here is your reply
I dunno, but the best way to kill your own thread is to post Cestree as the OP image.
Hello /tg/
I'm building up categories for my weapon system, and i wanted to ask you about the bastard sword*
I just wanted to know, is the way it's wielded more akin to a 2h sword, or a 1h sword?
*i know there is no such thing as a bastard sword historically, but let's say that for the purpose of this thread i mean Aragorn's sword, or Geralt's sword, as opposed to a sword that has not enough space on the hilt for both hands.
TL;DR: the way of fighting with a bastard sword is more like fighting with a 2h sword or a 1h sword?
>>44058758
The 'bastard sword' as you call it has most in common with the German Longsword. What D&D calls a 'longsword' is more akin to an arming sword. Anyways to answer your question a 'bastard sword' would be used best as a two handed weapon to give you the most striking power and more importantly the most control and leverage of the blade.
>>44058758
I don't understand the question.
You can fight with it either way.
You can fight with a sword that isn't exceptionally large with two hands.

You're welcome, OP.
Afraid this will go on until I find a better logo.

Tl;Dr: You're an Amnesiac transferred to a new school, where an ancient rite of magic and battle is taking place. You participate in the conflict unwillingly, with the strongest Servant at your side. Above all looms the shadow of a student who died mysteriously before your arrival.
===========
That night, your dreams are different. They involve a car crash of some sort, and waking up your legs hurt. You assume you probably slept in a bad position.
It's 7 am and class won't begin before an hour.
You head to the shower, change into the school uniform, and ponder on what to do next.
Your next objective is Emi, the legless girl who wanted you dead since day 1. Talking with Rin, who was formerly Caster's Master, you discovered that the two girls have formed a bond, and that Emi has grown unstoppably determined to achieve the Grail, for reasons you are not aware of.
The mechanics of this odd war seem strange to you, and you probably haven't yet grasped them fully. So far, only your loyal servant, Saber, helped you and gave you meaningful answers. As of now, he's your only ally, not including your new friend Rin and the Masters Lily and Hanako, who seem to at least partially sympathize with you.
This will be your first proper fight: Emi won't go down without a struggle. Who can offer you the most insight ?
>Talk with Rin
>Talk with Saber
>>44058658
>Talk with Saber
We haven't had the chance to get his opinion on what's been happening yet, nor do we know what he intend to do if we somehow end up winning.
And we also ought to figure out what he can and can't do in a fight, so we don't go rushing headfirst into losing battles.
>>44059839Talking with Rin doesn't mean starting a fight, but I will respect your will
"Saber, I need your support with strategic planning. I think it's time to face Emi and her Servant, there's no way to negotiate with them to begin with."
"I don't disagree with this strategy. It's less suicidal than taking on Berserker and Lancer at the same time. However we don't know what aces Emi has up her sleeves. Heh, funny, as she usually wears short-sleeved shirts".
"But this kind of reasoning doesn't bring us any further. If we can't plan on what they have, we must plan on what we do have."
"Correct. As you know, I am endowed with a very high magical resistance. This will come in handy when we fight Emi's Servant and its Noble Phantasms"
"What is a Noble Phantasm, Saber?"
"A noble Phantasm is the embodiment of the legend and of the mystery of every hero. Their fuel is human imagination itself, and every item or every characteristic that belongs to the myth of a given hero can potentially be a Noble Phantasm"
"So what is your Noble Phantasm?"
"First of all, you should remember that an Heroic Spirit can possess more than one Noble Phantasm. I am not sure, however I think my blade's name is Ananke: the unescapable Necessity. I know for sure that my sword can cut through any defense. The rest we'll have to find out. But I am a Saber class Servant: there's little that can take me completely by surprise", he says, raising his thumb.
There's roughly 15 minutes before the beginning of the class. Maybe they can be put to good use.
>Try to spy on Emi
>Go to class
>>44060060
>Go to class
>Talk with Saber a little more while we have time
What does he think of the other Masters and Servants? What's his goal in this war? Is there anything that we should know he won't or can't do?>Google for Ananke
>Google for historical figures famous for possessing swords and warhorns
Is there a way to include both firearms (even relatively low tech firearms, but at the very least bolt-action rifles) and melee weapons in a setting, and still have it be a somewhat serious setting?
Because for example 40K has no reason to have chainswords, power weapons and whatever, but still does, and for some people it's a little bit stupid, or fucks with their suspension of disbelief or whatever.
I'm looking for settings or ways in which both guns (again, not arquebuz, muskets and such, I mean revolvers, bolt actions at the very least) and melee weapons like swords, spears, etc, are integrated successfully.
There is a reason for Power Swords et cetera. It's cause they cleave everything like butter.
>>44058317
Machines guns haven't been invented?
>>44058317
You probably need something that at least partially negates the massive advantage of ranged weapons.
DMs, have you or would you ever kick out a player for not interacting with the game enough?
Someone who for example, never took an action unless directly asked, never took any risks, and immeadiately handed any plot coupons off to other players as soon as they recieved them?
I wouldn't kick them out, but I would take them aside and ask if they genuinely wanted to play.
No, but I'd challenge them. How long can they remain a bystander? How long can they stay neutral? I'd separate them from the group and put them through all sorts of tests.
>>44058247
Eventually, yes. But I'd have a conversation with them first about why they're not playing the game they claim to want to play.

Rolled sense motive so badly I started suspecting a rival but well-meaning group of adventurers in wanting to destroy a pacifist monastery for no reason. Ended up derailing several sessions in minor ways by convincing the party of my suspicions and making them antagonize the rivals and repeatedly cock block them until the miscommunication was settled, though we needed their help to advance.
That said "you rolled so bad you accidentally tore a hole in reality lmao xD" is pretty fucking retarded. It is rarely funny even as a joke, and if the GM attempts to pull that in the game you should pelt him with d4's until he backpedals.

That Guy/That DM thread?
I think I legitimately hate these topics more than frogposts now. Is there a way to filter topics based on their image?
>>44057658
You could probably just filter 'That Guy/That DM'. That'd get rid of a good amount of them.

wat a surprise
What would the Drow/Loth opinion on transsexuals be?
Would MtFs be distrusted as just "power seeking"?
(Not that they would see anything wrong with power seeking themselves)
Would FtM be regarded as sacrilege?
("How dare they lessen themselves!")
>>44057458
Why would a drow/loth change gender?
>>44057458

>Males being respected at any point to humor this beyond execution

Exiled hard.
Reminds me of a silly idea I had where males that showed themselves worthy of higher status were given a potion to promote them to female
>designing games that are too hard to learn and nobody will ever play
do you know that feeling /tg/?
All too well. Some days I can be content just designing for myself, but it creeps up on you.
>>44057158
Teach us, Anon.
>>44057184
>yfw the more you add the harder it is to balance
>>44057270
I worded myself incorrectly, the problem isn't that's too hard, but that it seems totally unbalanced or maybe won't even work.
Do you know of any program that let you mess around with pieces properties and hexagonal grid placement? I can't program for shit.
So here are the rules:
>1 One post per Anon
>2 The post may include something that might be in a room; eg: "A deep elevator shaft filled with gas" etc..
>3 If A post contradicts a prevous post that the newer post is void
>4 It takes 3 Anons to vote away a post
>5 Have fun!
I'll start:
The spacehulk has a small generator room filled with skulls
>>44057058
When the generator is operating at high load, static discharges cause the skulls' jaws to vibrate and appear to creepily chatter.
>>44057234
spoopy
it has working gun batteries but instead of space weaponry it's just 4 groups of 5,000 lasguns firing simultaneously

Listen to Chris Perkins seminar, drops some big hints on what's coming.

Am I correct in my understanding that a Winged-Variant Tiefling is still able to fly while using Medium or Heavy Armor the way that an Aarakocra would?
>>44056608
continuing from this
>>44056956
I thought tieflings/aarocrocka's couldn't fly in heavy armour? Or has that been changed?
It's also a method of playing which is sure to make the DM and the players hate you ^^
Superior card game coming through
I remember thinking it was dull as hell, even as a kid. Wasn't it basically just MtG without tapping lands?
Man, all my nostalgia comes from the cards rather than actually playing. When I was a kid everyone in my school had all the damn cards- Pokemon, YuGiOh, Digimon and eventually Harry Potter (Hell at the height of the cardgame obsession, my grandmother bought me a box of Mythos trading cards cause they were cheap, just what a growing boy needs?), but we never actually played the games, just collected them.
>>44056830
I still wondered why MtG still didn't develop some mechanic like adventures
40K thread (pic related)
Whats so good about pink horrors and the hole tzeentch thing? Why is everyone playing Tzeentch Daemons now? (Ok everyone plays Eldar/Necrons, but after thats its Tzeentch)
Why are they so strong? Should I get them as allys for my CSM? What are the benefits
>>44056673
Can't pink horrors spawn more pink horrors?
>>44056709
Can`t say... Only have the CSM Codex.
Also saw a lot of people playing Kairos Fateweaver and four other Tzeentch Lords ( dont know the model name)
>>44056673
Summoning is a thing and when you have basic troops that summon more units (Bloodthirsters, Flesh hounds, Heralds etc) it's a very effective way of replacing models that have died. This is also made worse by the fact that most of the other troops are mediocre at best, pink horrors are just a good choice in any daemon army. As far as tzeentch goes, it's basically a couple of things, one of those is the ability to "re-roll saving throws of 1" which makes 2++ or 3++ re-rollable deathstars not that hard to make. The second important part about tzeentch is that with a tzeentch daemon army you can pretty much dominate the psychic phase completely. There aren't many armies that can stand up to daemons in the psychic phase. Hopefully this helps.

The last thing you have a chance to think as the ground crumbles and collapses beneath you is that perhaps this wasn't a stroke of luck after all. True, it that half-seen worm hadn't shattered the earth around you when it did you might have faced a gruesome death at the hands of a ghoulish horde, but then you found yourself plunged into the tunnels beneath. You had time to scream, as well, but there wasn't much thought going on when that happened.
For the second time in what seems like a single day, you find yourself groggily rousing yourself from a state of unconsciousness. The first time had been like waking from an almost pleasant sleep – waking warm and safe within the fairy kingdom. This time, however, is far different. It's cold and damp, for one thing, and your entire body aches like a single livid bruise. There might even be broken bones lurking in there somewhere, just waiting to send daggers of pain running through your entire body.
Your name is Mia Vespucci, and you're willing to consider this a bit of bad luck. On the other hand, things can't really get that much worse. Then you open your eyes, forcing them open, and realise that things just got a whole lot worse.
>>44056617
Standing before you, a scant few paces away, is one of the most hideous demons you've ever seen. Its face is pulled into a horrible grin, glistening teeth visible and glinting in the sparse light. Tall, with a loathsome kind of oiliness to it, its chest is dominated by the image of a heart, several iron stakes plunged violently into it. You've seen this before – once, for a brief moment – and you know what it is. This is the demon Amelia sent to do her dirty work, in those blissful days when it obeyed her orders. Now, it's free to do whatever the hell it feels like.
And so it vanishes, disappearing into thin air before your very eyes.
Of course, you realise a moment later, Amelia's “rule” prevented it from harming you directly. One small piece of comfort, shortly followed by a crushing fear as you pat yourself down and learn that your equipment – your phone, Midnight and even that black mask Scathach created – is all gone, taken from you. You are totally defenceless.
No, not totally. A few paces from where that terrible demon had been standing is a wall, a tarnished metal knife buried in the crumbling stone. A note is pinned there as well, flapping lightly in the breeze that runs through the tunnels. Limping over – nothing inside you seems to be broken, at least – you take a look at the note. The words are... burned onto the paper, not written. They read, quite simply, “Keep me amused”. At the very bottom is an arrow, pointing left down the next branching path. Helpful directions, or guiding you straight into a trap?
As you scowl at the note, a sound reaches your ears. The howling of ghouls, you realise, and it's getting closer with each passing second. You need to make a move – and quickly.
>Follow the arrow left
>Take the right path
>Take a moment to check your surroundings carefully
