This will probably end poorly with a cringe fest that will send your face to your butthole.

Let it happen, it will be a nice 'live and learn' experience for the GM.

shit I had a few typos
>*another player has a really shitty mic or mic settings which he did not fix all session even when asked to and sounds like Samwell Tarly from GoT, so you can tell he's a neckbeard.

>chill dude and I liked his character.
5 bucks says this is the one to cause problems.

Anyway, yeah, you should screen players thoroughly. By the time you're done screening a player, Donald Trump should be ready to approve their refugee status. If it's an online game with strangers, that goes double.

As is, you're already stuck in and it would be rude to just up stakes. I say give it 1 session. If it turns out as bad as it sounds, then quit.

Okay.

I imagined. Now what.

>>54621655
No thanks.

Honestly?

If the fags here stopped going into threads about games they hate to hate on them.

Shut up faggots, if you do not like a game, do not play. That is all you need to do.

Monster Hunter freebie. Basically locks you down on EVERYTHING except for what you train up and all that garbage. Will unlock with a specific code phrase you designate on purchase.

Political map, no cities map yet. White means unnocupied and this takes place some 1000 years after a huge war so tons of the regions that were devastated during the war haven't been reclaimed yet.

Decent beginner's color map, 5/10.

thanks, i usually handdraw maps and I did this one with a mouse of photoshop, will improve hopefully lol.

Are we talking grimdark fantasy or sci-fi? You can also do a warhammer mash up.

Luckily for you D&D makes it pretty damn easy to run grimdark. There's plenty of monsters in the MM that can correlate with the setting.

Mindflayers are a must. They add body horror and sci-fi to the mix. Perhaps in the future of some world Mindflayers rule the world and they're humans in a resistance.

You can make mutants pretty easy by adding some traits to bandits and describing them as horrifying abominations.

I'd really suggest looking at the underdark creatures. They're all some flavor of grimdark.

>>54621313
Fantasy. I would have been more comfortable with sci-fi because of the plethora of horror media I consumed throughout my lifetime.

The problem I am seeking is building a coherent setting for it. I can just take a pre-built module like Curse of Strahd but that seems like cheating.

I hate to be that guy, but are your players ok with not playing 5th edition D&D? Pre-3.5e D&D would work better imo

You could also switch to a different system altogether like WHFRP or Mythras

Pass for human. Normanly fully unawarecovered of their heritage. Usually ends up becoming a fun plot point later on.

We were on page 7, asshole.

Fuckin' hell m8. Good one.

I always think a Jean Valjean sort of situation is a classic for a reason. Someone who isn't an evil person who committed a small crime out of desperation being put before the Paladin for judgement and justice.

I like 'spellsword' because it feels like a natural derivative of 'sellsword' and thus universal, and that's the term the general populace uses in my game. This is essentially bullshit, because a Knight Abjurant understands and uses magic in completely different ways than an Initiate of the Sevenfold Blade.

Tell us a bit more about your game, specific>generic every time.

Bump and such

"Gamefinder" thread might be better for this

It's not as much looking for a game as it is trying to connect with more local gamers.

What do you guys preffer: massive open games, small compact skirmish and personal games.

>>54619467
Normie games were intentionally left out.

>>54619459
Skirmishes.

Bigger games are okay if it's 2 V 2 for more banter, faster turns as it's not one guy having to move an entire 3/4k list.
You can resolve more stuff simultaneously.


Seperate note, just looked at the FAQs from yesterday. Sooo many entries just because they remembered that storm shields are held in the left hand and all the SW units had them swap the right / gun hand for the storm shield in the index.

Also glad they FAQ'd in that we can take a company ancient. (After I got a primaris ancient as that was the only option I was left with at the time)

Guess you've only ever collected the green little army men then?

Bore off.

plastic models of comparable complexity and quality will be around the same price no matter what

Try going into a model train shop sometime. At least theres a game for these.

>Try going into a model train shop sometime.
This. I'm not saying GW pricing is good, but seeing railroad modeling is good therapy. also pretty

Never kill a PC off screen if you ever intend to play with that person again.

Have someone else play them for a session.
Have them go MIA.
Drop them off at the nearest Tavern.
But never kill them. It hurts to many feelings.

Killing a player off screen just begs the question of "why did I even bother coming here today?" to the player
Unless you mean some sort of obvious suicide scenario that involves leaving the party for some reason, but even then if the player doesn't realize it's just that it's still a really bad idea

Many times. I'm running West Marches in spaaaaace, so PCs die, go on extended sabbaticals, or leave offscreen all the time to keep up with player rotation and them wanting to play something new.

>>54618722
Ask your DM, it's entirely up to them.

>>54618722
You didn't need to make a whole thread for this my man, theres a general floating around here somewhere
