How was it an epic success if it alerted a guard?

>>54351524
The stabbing itself was epic success. The scene is something different

You do know you can get them with autocannon or bolter turrets right?

>>54351244

Maybe a Scorp dishonor engine would also be another good starter?

Never played the CCG, but I do intend to play the LCG, probably gonna start as Crab.

>>54351451

I was thinking that too, (OP here) but the system looks so different that I'm not sure I'll make the jump on an old dog/new tricks level. Besides, I really liked a lot of the mechanics of the old game, losing provinces, focus values for dueling, force vs chi, et al.

>>54351188
You're probably baiting, but whatever. Let's bite on the off chance you're legit or some other impressionable anon sees this.

Tales of the Loop is pretty shit. It was made to cash in on the Stranger Things hype without managing to capture the qualities that made the show good, and was carried through kickstarter almost entirely on it's art.
http://conceptartworld.com/artists/simon-stalenhag/
Granted Stalenhag is a kickass artist but you're better off browsing that website and putting it with literally anything system and campaign you wrote, and it'll be better then Tales.

>>54351237
I wouldn't say its made to catch in on Stranger Things, Simon Stålenhag's artwork and setting had been around long before Stranger Things, furthermore its a very different setting than ST, this has been a huge misconception that people have given the game and the setting that I feel will disappoint some people who don't get the horror, conspiracy, pulppy/lovecraft vibe ST offers.

I'm intrigued. It was recommended to me after seeing Stranger Things. I think the Swedish angle is a nice twist, too. I feel like GMing it would be hard, though, in terms of plot and player management (keeping the adults out and the kids at the right capabilities), and the canonical mysteries in the book weren't my style so much.

I imagine there's not a lot of art in this particular vain but anything sortof -ish like it would be nice as well.

>would your character have anything to offer Majora for it wear YOU?
Fix'd. Majora only used skull kid's sadness to further its objectives.

>Implying you wouldn't instantaneously be taken over by it.

No. He is already familiar with demonic possession. Has resisted it before and would be suspicious of an object like this. Likely would attempt to destroy it without giving it a second thought. Character is a cleric from Dark heresy for contexts

i just make them bigger as according to how direct their lineage is

half-dragon dragonborn are big
half-dragons are bigger than usual but not overwhelmingly so
dragonborn are normal
half-dragon d

Dragonborn are a race, so they would likely have a culture. Halfies are one-offs, so they're socially wildcards.

>>54349771
Dragons are Dragons.
Dragonborn are Dragon worshipping Lizardmen.
Half dragons dont exist because thats stupid.

>Hooded Wizard
See Hooded Pupik/Apprentice template, goes well with the like of Wizard Necromancer Specialist variants presented in Unearthed Arcana, Unversed Arcana, Dark Magi's 3 necor base classes, Death Master, or Dread Necromancer.
>Naked Chest Guy
Cancer Mage, or a Transmuter with interest in natural armour and well selected feats
>Vampire Lord
Shit taste, lrn about Age categories and vamprie variants
>Undead Knight
Literally a sentient fighter stuck in the undead state forced to experience every moment of it's undeath, it's an older 2e thing but Tome of Horrors updated it to 3.5, and i've not seens it' s3.5 version, wears a circlet, it's like the medium buffer before you set Death Knights againsts PC's.

Elf ranger

mostly outta respect for my favorite AD&D character

Giant-blooded human
Half-Giants As Characters
Half-giant characters possess the following racial traits.
+2 Constitution, +2 Strength, -2 Dexterity.
Medium size (but on the tall and heavy side).
Half-giant base land speed is 30 feet.
Low-light vision.
Strong and Healthy: Half-giants have a +1 racial bonus on Fortitude saving throws .
Giant Blood: For all effects related to race, a half-giant is considered a giant.
Automatic Language: Common. Bonus Languages: Any (other than secret languages, such as Druidic).
Favored Class:Any. When determining whether a multiclass human takes an experience point penalty, his or her highest-level class does not count.
Level adjustment: +0
This is a modified Half-Giant, see The Expanded Psionics Handbook for half-giants proper

A Roguish Solution for small parties

All characters with PC classes can use the Search skill to locate traps even when the task has a Difficulty Class higher than 20.
Finding a non-magical trap has a DC of at least 20, or higher if it is well hidden. Finding a magic trap has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
All characters that are primary spellcasters* can use the Disable Device skill to disarm magic traps. A magic trap generally has a DC of 25 + the level of the spell used to create it.
They can use spells to aid them in this, like magical hand spells to do it from afar.
A character who beats a trap’s DC by 10 or more with a Disable Device check can study a trap, figure out how it works, and bypass it (with her party) without disarming it.

*arcane or divine, like wizards, sorcerers, druids or clerics but not secondary spellcasters like paladins and rangers

Hereafter, at 1st level, any character can choose up to 4 skills from the Rogue Class Skill List, and those skills become class skills for him or her. A character gains extra skill points per level, which must be however invested in these skills alone, equivalent to his Intelligence bonus. If the bonus is +0, he still gains 1 skill point. This bonus is not multiplied at 1st level.
A character can use the pool of his other skill points, to raise those 4 skills.

Example; Adoq, a mystaran 1st level Wizard can choose Hide, Move Silently, Disable Device and Open Lock. He has an intelligence of 17 (+3) giving him 3 skill points to invest in those skills per level.

Bard
Hit Die: d8
Skill points increase to that of the Rogue;
Skills
At 2nd level, and every 2 levels thereafter (4th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 12th, 14th, 16th, 18th, 20th) a bard may choose a non-class skill and from now on it will be a class skill for him.

Skill Points at 1st Level
(8 + Int modifier) ×4.
Skill Points at Each Additional Level
8 + Int modifier.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency
A bard is proficient with all simple and martial weapons and with all armor up to chainmail and buckler shields. A bard can cast bard spells while wearing up to chainmail armor and wielding a buckler without incurring the normal arcane spell failure chance. However, like any other arcane spellcaster, a bard wearing other kinds of armor or using a shield larger than a buckler incurs a chance of arcane spell failure if the spell in question has a somatic component (most do). A multiclass bard still incurs the normal arcane spell failure chance for arcane spells received from other classes.

Well, it's over now, we didn't get Hour of Devastation and won't get any new set either. Was fun while it lasted.

I think the restriction by rarity is fine to forcefully make the game cheaper. It also could make the decks less consistent and reliable on obviously broken cards.

The no sideboard rule I think is a little silly, as they make some matchups much more fair. Assuming they print most of the pure hate cards as rares I think it would be fine.

The card pool should be as large as possible, there's no sense in restricting it. You still can play different formats if you wish.

>>54348887
its an interesting format but it was bogged down really hard by how hard it is to get singles with no trade or crafting system. I would have liked to see how it curbed the traditional midrange mythics decks and the gideon decks

>What do you think of my haul?
Jelly as fuck OP

How do they play ? That's the real question.

>>54348226
Well, considering only three of those are RPGs, two of which are already translated and one of which is SRS garbage...
Not at all, actually.

Being Colorblind makes this map REALLY hard.

Another anon, but I also have seen this in my search to make a sci-fi game and I also wonder if it's any good, too.

>>54349669
no real setting gotta make your own sand box

very crunchy and kinda lethal

>>54347801
Glancing through, it looks like large pools of d6 vs difficulty numbers. And the "sci-fi" includes brain-magic as a core stat. So nothing new or interesting going on so far.
