you can put your monster anywere, and yes you can pedulam summon them in defence mode since it's a special summon

So why haven't you switched over to yugioh. /tg/? It's getting cheaper. Light's Revenge reprinted a lot of expensive cards. Psy-Framelord Omega was once $40+, now it's under $10. Pot of Desires is getting a reprint as a promo, and so is Solemn Strike, both cards that are worth $20+.

>>54251327
I'm already playing Yugioh.

I don't understand what they mean by "Interesting to play something they don't identify with" but what I'm thinking is said player is more or less chaste (gonna have to confirm that OP) and is basically trying too hard to play a femme fatale, sultry type.

>>54247925

It's a female version of a furry who has to play a kitsune that enjoys getting vore'd by dragons and purple worms.

Some female players fall into these kind of stereotypical character concepts where they get off on being desired. You typically see it in the "slutty but bitchy elf/tiefling rogue" type.

She wanted to play a hypersexual character, and at character generation the idea seemed good to her, but as she plays she's realizing she isn't sure what direction to take her character in.

Just chat with her and ask if there's someone you can do to help her get into the character more, maybe a brief personal side quest to help flesh the character out a little making it easier for the player to actually roleplay.

Just a thought

It seems something like that hasn't been compiled together yet. There is a plaintext version of the Mini Six SRD, however.

>>54248154
Well, it's something I suppose. Thanks, Anon!

>>54248258
Making a text-only version of the OpenD6 SRD could be a good project to undertake. I've seen several attempts via websites and wikis but all of them seem to get abandoned halfway.

There is a 3rd-party expansion for 5e called Adventures in Middle Earth, made by the guys who made One Ring. According to most reviews I've found, and my own once-over of the system it's pretty good. It actually replaces each of the 12 standard D&D classes with 6 that are more appropriate for a Middle Earth campaign. Basically this means no spells, but there's a lot of "subtle" magic.

It's mostly meant to take place in the North in and around Lake-town and Dale, as its default starting time is 5 years after Smaug's defeat.

You should look into it.

Nice! Will check it out. But my main problem is lore. I guess there are some people on /tg/ who are into it enough, so they can toss in a few more suggestions.

>>54247547
Other things you could add:

Gondor effectively has two ethnic groups living there; the Northmen and the Dunedain (Men of Numenor). The vast majority of Gondorians are of Northmen stock, with the upper-class of nobility having more of of Dunedain in their family histories though almost all noble families have SOME Northmen blood in them. Since Gondor's connection to Arnor and thus to Numenor is basically established by the existence of Dunedain bloodlines, having significant amounts of it in your family history would be a mark of pride and possibly lead towards thoughts of superiority that the Shadow could play upon.

Use the Iron Kingdoms Roleplaying setting for steampunk. I like the mechanics too but it's not for everyone.

If you're going to take Tarot seriously, you need to use a Rider deck. Most guides arnt very good. You should just learn to read the symbolism based on what's on the cards. The original Rider deck is explicitly designed to be understood visually with no memorization required.

I use tarot for major life shit, though I dont take it too seriously. I mostly use it as a planning tool, as tarot can help you take certain possibilities seriously that you would otherwise ignore.

>>54247693
So you use it as a tool to plan your shit ?

>>54247357
You might try /x/, they have tarot threads every few days.

Look at a few decks and pick one that seems interesting to you. >>54247693 has the right idea, you want to have lots of symbolism on the card so you can get ideas visually.

Don't waste much time with guides or books. Look at them as sources of ideas rather than advice. There's not really any "correct" or "standard" technique.

Best thing to do is just dive in and play around. Try different spreads, try using Tarot for different things. Don't take it too seriously.

Tarot is a pretty good warm-up for GMing. It helps with improvising, and teaches you how to react to, interpret, and synthesize random ideas.

Not Mtg, but Game of Thrones P'n'P edition.

I don't get the last question, but there is an Inquisitor that defected to the T'au Empire and pilots a Battlesuit.

So yeah, a human could operate a battlesuit. It's the only kind of alien that had the opportunity to do so, AFAIK.

What
>>54247516
I recall a funny part of Kill Team where Brains breaks from the mission to try to highjack a battlesuit. He gets in and closes the hatch then a second later it opens again with a charred, electrified corpse inside. They don't like just anyone riding their whips.

It's so stupid but I chuckle every time I see that you've ignored Delta Green guy

Reserved but confident. Has trouble fitting into human culture due to a feeling of guilt due to being associated with his fathers name. Isn't ashamed of it just knows what it means. Doesn't use his real name very often. Then again this is from just watching the movies.

>>54246275
If you do not know a character well enough to answer this yourself, why do you want to roleplay that character?

>>54246295
>Reserved but confident.
Nicely nutshelled.

>Has trouble fitting into human culture
>a feeling of guilt due to being associated with his fathers name
While both of these are true, I'm not certain there's a causal relationship.

He also has an affinity for elves, possibly because he too resists the aging affects of time.
I think he was about 75 during LOTR. Might be wrong there.

Often /tg/ greatly improves and expands my initial ideas. That is why I ask.
