Would /tg/ play a game about being professional Formula One drivers (or any other motorsports discipline of your choice)?
A game that not only focused on the off-track drama but also on using strategy during the race could be really interested if done well. The players don't even have to be in a party, they can be racers for different teams competing on the track and then getting into drama in-between each race weekend.

Instead of le kungfu weaboo fightan purple robes guy, how would a western/Christian monk work in a fantasy setting?
Clerics come into mind, but they are based on Priests. Monks also spent time studying philosophy and sciences.

Monday RPG Hipster, "I only play my own homebrew, you've probably never heard of it" edition m
Any games welcome, just remember "We played it before it was cool"
I brought up Neoviking in another thread. It's a humour game. It includes Neobunnies, a separate setting. It's in Swedish, released decades ago by Neogames (most of which are Helmghast these days). It's terrible.

So, is this supposed to be a thread about less popular systems and homebrew or what?
>>
>>43791352
Less popular systems was the idea.
Which on /tg/ basically means anything not D&D.

Iron Heroes. Everyone hates Monte Cook but Ive run several successful games of this, the longest of which is ongoing and over two years old.
Basically it has eight martial classes and one/two caster classes. Each of the martials plays significantly differently than the next, have different strategies and can easily be multiclassed. The caster class the Arcanist has the beat magic system of any dnd variant Ive ever seen. Magic instead of being "cast fireball" uses a streamlined DC and mana system where you can customize magical affects of spells! But magic is risky and can also backfire if the dc is not meant.
List of other features I like:
-AC is your ability to dodge, for agility characters and DR is a die rolled against damage, based on armor and used by heavy fighters.
-No face of party or support class.
-Has physical, mental and racial abilities that add to character and give them both useful skills and added flavor.
-Classes play well and keep combat interesting, teamwork can make a party very powerful.
Things I dont like:
-no body has ever heard of it
-skill leveling is needlessly complex
-physical and ebook have conflictions in some places.
-The character sheets are a mess.

You are Ur'shal, Chieftain of the Stonetusk Clan and Warlord of the Wastes. Things have been going well for your clan recently, looting, raiding and expanding to dominate all the lands from the northern jungle to the edge of the howling mountains, and while you don't have the numbers to keep watch on every last corner of your territory, there's no-one left close enough to dispute it.
Unfortunately (or fortunately, depending on how you look at it), getting to where you are today from the meagre clan of twenty-odd half-starved orcs has required stepping on a few toes. Many of those rivals are now dead or enslaved, but a few of the more difficult ones remain. If you wish to push beyond the desolate wasteland and tangled jungle, you will need to remove these thorns in your side one way or another. The question is how.
To the north sits Slaagyr, the young Earth Dragon lording it over his horde of humans and ogres. He has been an ongoing annoyance, and while he has been quiet of late, you suspect that is more of a calm before the storm. There also appears to be some unrest and infighting amongst the factions of his followers, perhaps something you can exploit for your own plans, if you are clever about it.
To the south, the jungle holds far more obstacles. The elder serpent whose territorial nature threatens to render much of your passage further south impassable. The shifters who launch regular assaults on your hunting parties and scouts who stray too close to their territory, and of course the Fire Dragon Xipil. While you have yet to have any actual confrontation with the young dragoness, your pillaging of the lamia compound and enslavement of her emissary may soon warrant a reaction from her.
So Ur'shal, Chieftain of the Stonetusk Clan and Warlord of the Wastes. Which of these rivals do you wish to see swept from your path to glory first?
>Focus on Slaagyr
>Focus on Xipil
>Focus on the Shifters
>Focus on the Elder Serpent

How would players react to a villain that can't truly be killed?
Say he comes back after a few villains with a new plan, or again with a new set of characters, or maybe he butts heads with another antagonist and the players are caught up between them.
My first time GMing will be this weekend, any general tips?

Probably either
>Then we'll find a way to kill him for good!
or
>Then we'll just keep killing him until he dies.
>>
>>43789675
It depends on the nature of his immortality, really. If he simply can't be killed, you can throw him into space or lock him in a coffin. If he heals no matter what you do to him, that's more versatile - But he can still die.
It reminds me of Nethack, where I ran out of ways to kill a troll - So I ate the corpse, out of sheer desperation.

>>43789743
Just so we're clear, I'm talking about Diablo here.
Imprisonment was the general goal of Diablo 2, and killing him was the goal of 3.
I really like the idea of an unkillable foe. You can destroy his body, but he'll come back on his own in a century or so. And he can be imprisoned, at least until some madman frees him from his crystal prison.

Envoy of their god sent to keep an eye on the party for "reasons." It's the only sensible reason I can come up with. If a god thinks the party important enough to warrant continuous monitoring, then they must be a big deal.

The answer is as always:
>>>IT DEPENDS
Your setting decides it, maybe the ange is sent by the heavens on a mission or it is an individual angel that is exploring the world. Maybe it got lost it's way and a storm of the aether flung it down to earth. Maybe it was dormant protecting a relic from evil that is long gone and the party was also looking for it and accidentally (or purposely) liberated it from dormancy. Maybe it is a mortal that was reborn in an angel body because of a grat deed he has done in a previous life.
Just use your damn creativity!

I have it because I love mouse guard, and the book is amazing (not to mention it was like 35 bucks, so why not). Haven't had a chance to play it yet, but it reads pretty well and looks like a solid system.

I'm not a /tg/ guy but I figured it'd be best to ask here.
Looking into christmas presents to get relatives and such. I know my brother is into board and card games so I was thinking of getting him pic related. Is it any good? From what I've seen it seems like it could be a fun little party game, though I'm not sure.

Superfight's fun, but there's not much real game there, it's just a social thing where you argue about how many gokus superman can bench.
That doesn't mean it's a bad gift though.
If you want to get him an actual small game, look into Star Realms, Epic, Love Letter, The Resistance / Avalon, Mafia de Cuba, Coup, Mascarade, Arctic Scavengers, One Night Werewolf / One Night Revolution, or something like that. Depends a lot on what he already has and likes, and the board game general will have better suggestions too.

I have a problem with keeping myself motivated to run a game. I'm usually quite excited for the first session, I prepare a lot, I think I do a good job running the game. But rarely do we have a second session. I even tried to run a one shot last time and of course we didn't manage to get through it in one go. It's not that I don't want to do it... but games keep fizzling out.
What do?

Why are the games fizzling out?
Do you give up trying?
Do you never gather for another session?
Do the other players' investment in the game don't match yours?
>>
>>43789239
Space your games out enough to get excited for each new session.
Get players that don't make running the game seem like a chore.
Run a player driven campaign.
Any combination of above.

Fudged a fatal damage roll yesterday because I didn't feel like dealing with the drama of character death. Feels kinda weird~ Anyone else have a player or two that gets really accusatory of you when there characters die?
Also DM PDF share thread. Looking for Dungeon Dozen myself.

Hello fa/tg/uys, /lit/ anon here and this is my first time posting here so I apoligise if I've messed with your board in someway (I've heard good things) but, sadly, I've decided to sell my old figurines. I bought them when I was younger, and kind of stopped playing and was just wondering - would any of you have a rough idea of how much all of the stuff I have is worth? A few are painted (badly), and I've got a ton of loose Chaos Marine parts along with some Tao peices, and space mureens. I feel pretty reluctant to sell them because I think the models look rad, but I need the money and they're sort of collecting dust.
Just in case asking anons to audit your merch is a faux-pas, I'll try and keep the thread somewhat on topic:
What the fuck did Games Workshop do to Warhammer and what is the End Times about? Is the hobby on it's way out?
