+5 to cat

Come to think of it, it's kinda weird that he's a principal figure in the jellical cats but has no song of his own. As Deuteronomy's second in command is he opted out of qualifying for reincarnation? He fights with Macavity the once but inconclusively and we don't know that he has any real skills. I dunno what to stat.

How about Tugger?

"Got a problem, soldier?" you ask quietly.

"Just waiting for you to show your true colors," he condscends.

You shrug as you stand. "Must be hard to feel safe around people willing to break the law to save lives instead of people willing to obey it to end them."

The soldier's lunge is arrested by Marsh's palm against his chest. "Go pack our things," the Captain says coldly. His aggressive subordinate, seething, snaps a cold salute and marches away.

"How much time does Nathan have?" Marsh asks.

"A few days, at most. Which is plenty of time in the context, admittedly, but you're on a clock and so am I. If I can be paid, madam healer, I'll get my supplies and treat your patient. Trading certain death for an uncertain one is better than nothing."

The horned healer bustles through her home, putting coins and silver shavings into a small pouch. You separate the coins out and tuck them into your breast pocket; the silver, useful in your arts, is kept in the bag and tied to your belt.

"I'll escort you myself," Marsh announces. "Men, you're dismissed."

You quirk an eyebrow as the soldiers snap salutes and leave. Marsh steps out of the hut and offers you a hand down.

> Take the hand. He's trusting you, you can be nice to him.
> Coldly ignore it. He's still condemning you to your...second...death.
> Insult him.

Also choose one of:
> Just get your supplies (move the quest along)
> "So why'd you become a soldier?"
> "Why'd you turn me in?"
> "How'd you get the stick /that deep/ into your ass?"

Feel free to vote/re-vote for supplies. The basic list that Bri will attempt to gather, presuming no additions or objections, can be found here: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/43890201/#p43901804

Objectively, probably drinking games or ones that involve other substances.

Maybe one of them couples erotic games? Dunno, I suppose if you had the right set of sexually liberal people it might work rather than being super awkward.

Other than that, mathematical mechanics aren't exactly "fun" in the same way they can be fun in normal board games. The closer you get to tactical wargaming, and hence boardgaming, the more the fun-ness of the mechanics matters I think.

I guess there's still an argument that the average rpg needs mechanics that are more than just purely functional. But we still rely on roleplaying to deliver the moments that truly entertain us.

Your least favorite.

>>43914348
5e if you actually want to play with people
2e if you want to be the 'alpha nerd' and have no friends
Pathfinder if you have no god damn idea what you're doing

You're better off learning the edition that people around you want to use.

It'll be my roommates, who are utterly indifferent. They just wanna have fun without needing to obsess over rules.

"Why are you stalking my people?" you ask, locking eyes with the beast. "And what do you intend for my daughter?"
The wolf raises his eyebrow. "To watch and to watch," he replies. "Didn't I tell you this before? You humans are interesting; you're weak and slow, but you make fire and make your claws, rather than growing them and you burn your meat before eating it and wear the furs of other creatures, as you can't grow your own. I chose to watch your pup because she is new and will be seeing everything for the first time." He pauses and looks a little smug. "I learned to talk much faster than her."

You try to hold the wolf's gaze, but he seems to tire of the attention, staring back and you find you are unable to meet his eyes for long. Their intensity is just too strong, too much like he's deciding if he's hungry enough to eat you. "Your bitch has another one on the way, doesn't she," he says. It's not a question. "I think I'll watch that one too and see if there's anything I've missed. After that... Well, we'll see. Now... I have questions. First: Why did you come looking for me, especially alone? That's stupid of you; I could kill you easily. Second: What is your interest in the river? She's started looking like you humans. She's never done that before. I want to know what she wanted to know."

How will you answer?
>I came to tell you to leave
>I came to find out what you know
>I came to be friends
>I came to kill you

>The river has a name, you know
>Who knows what she's thinking?
>She wanted to learn about us
>She and I desired one another

>I came to be friends
>She wanted to learn about us
>Can you teach us to shapeshift?

I don't have read much about them, and i am by far no expert on 40k fluff, but to me they always appear like the ultimate dedicated defenders.
They don't care much about mowing things down in the name of the emperor, as long as it's not actively coming at them. Then they show everyone else how the job is done.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but i see them as the indestructible yellow brickwall of Terra.

>>43914794
You've got it right. It's that they are the greatest of humanities defenders.

Also, they created the greatest successor chapter. Black Templars FTW!

Seems to be the new Tau titan, Anon. It's Tau so it's probably OP as fuck. I think it's this fucker: http://www.forgeworld.co.uk/en-GB/Tau-KX139-Ta'unar-Supremacy-Armour

Tis' a reference to Parson saying it in 108.

Ahah.

No more than 5, cap at 6.

Split into multiple groups if necessary or just tell them you have enough peeps already. If they wanna play that badly someone else can learn to GM

>4 is ideal
>5 is really pushing it
>I don't play in games with 6+
>I don't believe you when you tell me that your personal DM can manage 20 players with ease. You just have low expectations. Stop sucking a shit DMs cock.

I'd say 4 players is ideal, 6 as a maximum for comfortable play, and 8 as extremely uncomfortable but tolerable. In any system with initiative, the more people you have doing things one at a time on that list the shittier and slower things get.

I've been experimenting using poker dice with a miniatures wargame. It got a pretty simple system down that seems to work pretty good.

There was a guy who tried to run a Planescape general here some time ago, lets see if he pops up here.
