Your name is Casimir, and you are a Chosen of Luna: a king of beasts, a shapeshifter par-excellence, defined by your own wilful choices and nothing else. Your form, your world, and your very destiny are yours to shape… with a complication.
You seem bound on some fundamental level to another Exalted, who calls herself Ashen-Tome Scholar. You feel conflicted around her, protective impulse warring with predatory desire; for the time being, you’ve acted as her protector and custodian, seeing her safely through the Northern wilds to the great Silver River, sailing south. Along the way, you’ve acquired a companion, of sorts: a Raksha noble calling herself Astrid Nahaka. And as you travel, you find yourself struggling, for looking within, you find only instinct but no memories with which to channel them.
The path ahead is as shrouded as the path behind. Just recently, you destroyed a coven of necromancers who tried to ambush you under the guise of the Morticians' Order of Sijan. Now, as you leave the Northern wilds behind and enter the rapids of the Northeast, you wonder if more dangers loom.
Let’s change Creation tonight.

[The moon is CHANGING. +1 to social- and stealth-related rolls]
As the sluggish, icy currents of the North give way to the rapids of the Northeast, the idyll of your earlier journey quickly gives way to white-knuckled excitement. For the girls, at least —Ashe grips the tiller as though it's a lifeline, and Astrid whoops, planting her spear in the deck and riding the rapids for all she's worth. You, with nothing to fear from a little water, spend much of your time in various shapes in the water, steadying the tiny boat with the bulk of borrowed forms.
And then the rapids empty out into a great lake-basin, and all of you catch your breath at the sight that extends before you.
A great city emerges from the trees, the giant redwoods and white stillness of the North giving way to deciduous trees and meadowland. Its buildings are of wood and mounded earth, their humble materials belying the exactness of the planning and design that went into each structure, and the city proper.
"First Age planning," Ashe notes approvingly, as she steers your little ship closer, to where the docks seethe with activity. You notice that the majority of the craft aren't sailed, like yours, but rather rowed: stout canoes that skim across the water on dozens of wooden oar-legs. "This must be Rubylak."
"The Linowan are no great lovers of the Fair Folk," Astrid mentions nonchalantly, assuming her guise of a mortal warrior. "Time for me to learn a new role."
"No great lovers of the Exalted, either," Ashe adds, pulling up her hood. "They're nominal tributaries of the Realm —" a name you've come to associate with Wyld Hunts and a danger to your mate that makes your hackles rise " —and thus have a technical obligation to exterminate Anathema. Like us."
You shrug. "I suppose it is time I learnt some civility."
She rolls her eyes. "You speak like a Dynast from the Blessed Isle anyway. Best you keep silent. I doubt either of you speak passable Forest-tongue."

Last session. A player of mine was cursed with the Winter Queen's harp and had a month to research as much as he could before throwing a ball in her honor...
...a ball to celebrate his trial and appointment as her Knight.
The group did beautifully, finding the perfect beer, food, and facts to keep him on the material. Got lucky and did everything they could, including a paintoff, deadly rubix cube, and dance of blades.

How do D&D/Pathfinder's sizes and spaces make any sense at all?
>Small size: 2 to 4 feet tall or long, occupies 5x5 foot space
>Medium size: 4 to 8 feet tall or long, occupies 5x5 foot space
>Large size: 8 to 16 feet tall or long, occupies 10x10 foot space
>Huge size: 16 to 32 feet tall or long, occupies 15x15 foot space
>Gargantuan size: 32 to 64 feet tall or long, occupies 20x20 foot space
>Colossal size: 64 to 128 feet tall or long, occupies 30x30 foot space
For instance, if a 6 foot tall creature takes up a 5x5 foot space, then why does a 48 foot tall creature take up only a 20x20 foot space? It should logically take up a 40x40 foot space, right?
How is this represented in official miniatures?

The space is less about physical dimensions, but the space they require to fight comfortably.
All in all, it's an abstraction used for convenience, and you shouldn't worry too much about it.
>>
>>43652306
'Space' specifically refers to the area that the creature can attack within and can reach to attack, not the space the entire creature occupies. Meagolocentipedes, colossal worms and dragons, etc. take up much larger areas than the spaces they are given to attack in.
You would know this if you actually bothered reading the shit you complain about, like the Entries Descriptions of the Bestiary.
Attributes tend to work poorly in class-based systems since a given class typically has only a few decent attribute spreads. A Fighter is going to want Strength and a Wizard is going to want Intelligence. Attributes only offer a false choice. Is there a way to make them play nice with a class-based system, offering meaningful choice?

There are very few ways to do that well. It either requires the attributes to be class agnostic, doing such things that EVERY class needs to an extent. Or, make every class able to use every attribute in a meaningful fashion.
>>
>has only a few decent attribute spreads
Is that more than one? Congrats. That means there's choices involved.
>Attributes tend to work poorly in class-based systems
Except they've worked fine since... oh... the foundation of this entire genre of gaming.

Ok, it's late at night, really late. We're gonna have some fun. I'm going to have an entire mercenary company named the Horned Toads, and need to have each member of it stated with a quick blurb about them.
I thought this could be done in a rather fun way.
Everyone, roll 3d6 down the line. Name your guy, his class & race (would be appreciated if races were kept to human, halfelf, elf, orc, & half orc), and state what does he do in the mercenary company.
I'll start.

I love world-building, and one of the parts of world-building that I really, really enjoy are seeing ads and flyers for fictional in-universe companies or merchants. So I'm posting a few, most of them sci-fi because I don't know where my fantasy ones are right now.
If anyone has similar things, let's post em.

So I haven't played a lot of D&D, and have recently asked my friends to join their game, they told me that they have 2 spots open..I can be the DM or I can be a support/buffer/healer/not directly fighting type character
I chose the former. Since I dont know everything about D&D, such as lore, or specific monsters...how they interact..where they would be. Am I fucked?
So far this is my plan:
1.players are a new group of adventurers seeking fame, fortune, etc. etc.
2. they said they just want to explore, so I let them pick a direction and chose north..
3. They will be going north fighting barbarians, bears, wolves, pissed off dwarves and whatnot.
4. I hope this next part doesn't sound too....bad (they come across a dwarf vs barbarian war, in the middle is a large castle, manned by many different races defending a relic.
5. the Dwarves want the land beneath the relic, rich with ores and metals
6. The barbarians want the relic of their lost king, and are willing to destroy anything to "save it"
7. relic cant be moved because its stopping some ancient evil from escaping, otherwise its a very powerful greatsword.
8. in the event its removed, everything goes to shit, armies of the dead roam the frozen north, dwarves and barbarians hate each other etc.
I assume the players wouldn't let the evil out and protect it by picking a side and helping to destroy the other. now I don't know how many sessions we got, but I assume I could fill in sessions with questing for levels, exploring and tackling the war in the north when they are around level 10?
I just want them to have fun really, and not be pissed off the whole time.

Dude. Who the fuck cares. Make whatever you want in your world.
Your plan is fine except your should figure out what to due if they don't want to head north. Unless they already told you "north".
You should keep in mind: What if your PCs aren't willing to help either side and are just out for them selves. Other then that just roll with the punches.

Gearing up to play a Fallout campaign using GURPS (or maybe Savage worlds, its still up in the air) with some internet friends over Roll20.
Maps and tiles are pretty slim pickings in the marketplace, and scrounging it getting tedious. Anybody have the Battle Maps Apocalypse pdfs, or just some good post-apoc tiles or maps?

I think so. Specially as a counter to bad behavior.

Uh, yes? That's kind of the point. Lovecraftian horror is someone realizing that the universe is actually way more fucked up than they would even dare fathom. And now that the veil has been lifted, they can't just close it again.
Lovecraftian horror isn't actually about monsters being so terrifying that they make you lose your mind. It's about the fact that you suddenly realize that those monsters even exist, and that implies everything you know and take for granted in life is actually nothing but a comforting lie you've been living. It's about realizing some horrible truth, and then knowing you can't actually do anything about it, but now you can't ignore it either.

Variant I just assembled. A little like a chaos deck or planechase deck, this is a single deck in the middle of the table to make the game a bit more interesting.
Been toying with the idea for a while, just finished the list (and the print template) and I'm gonna get it printed on cardstock & sleeved for next weekend in order to give it a test-run.
http://tappedout.net/mtg-decks/100-card-treasures-deck/
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2-YvRijIX0cWk9RQm1zeHhBc3c/view?usp=sharing
What do you guys think?
I will also check back after I've tested it myself and let you know how it went.
If you want to print it yourself, the page is 8.5x11, do not stretch to fit, and it's set up so it will be easy to cut the cards out with a paper-guillotine (since I own one), hence the cutting guides around the edges.

>>43647584
Why would it be? Red is generally associated with danger.
So /tg/ I've got a potential problem on the horizon. My group is just about to finish our campaign and we're playing 50 Fathoms Next.
I've got 6 players, 3 guys, 3 girls.
Anyway, one of my guys decides he's gonna play a female character. Honestly no problem he isn't That Guy but then one of the girls figures since we've got 4 out of 6 why not have an all female crew?
One of the other guys had no problem since he's playing a crab person and figures it wouldn't make much of a difference.
The last guy's uncomfortable RPing the opposite gender. Probably just drop it there but another one of the girls says it wouldn't be any weirder than playing another race and won't let up on it, almost seems offended by it.
Sensing a lot of tension between the two. What the hell should I do /tg/? I just wanted them to have fun being pirates.

Make her RP a dude? I dunno man. It sounds like it's a him or her situation, and honestly, she's the one pushing somebody to do something they're uncomfortable with. Tell her to knock it off cause if it comes down to it, he's the one that's gonna get to stay.

>>43647378
If the girl is that offended at the idea of men in her all-female party, she's probably a Tumblrette. You should just kick her now to avoid further troubles.
