Dragonquest. You better get good at ambushing and avoiding ambushes, or you will almost certainly die of one of the wounds you'll inevitably take getting infected if you do have a stand up slugfest, even if you win.

the one that was supposed to be a That Guy thread but turned into a "no homos at my table REE" thread.

Anyway.
Which of the two categories i've posited do you fit into my friend?

>Personally I am more the latter, using RPGs to try and get into the headspace of people and groups unlike myself to try and understand more what it is like to be them.

You sound like the kind of guy who likes to pretend he understands other people's issues, but it's mostly just you allowing yourself to exaggerate your own personal mythology and to cement it further in your own head.

>E.g. i've played women, trans, genderless AIs, myriads of human, inhuman, and alien races, facists, rebels, etc.

Well, that confirms it.

How do you even handle Time sphere mages without everything turning into a confusing mess of broken causality?

That's a storyline in and of itself, but if it's not one you want to do, make traveling more dangerous, like Avatar Storm dangerous.

It's still a popular game, it's just that /tg/ is edition war central so everyone has to autistically screech at each other.

Here's my Warlock. He's a GOO Warlock who made his pact with Cthulhu unbeknownst to him. He uses his Book of Shadows as a spellcasting focus and his staff to knock unruly party members on their head when they do something stupid.

>>54383652
>Cthulhu
>Making pacts
He's not even a god

>>54383667

Well maybe pact is the wrong word, but I took it from the PHB. He borrows his power from him. Probably without Cthulhu actually being aware of it.

Beats me. Generally when I put money into a hobby it's to keep certain people out, but going by what I've seen in MTG I don't think it works there.

>>54382905
Back when I still played, it was because I actually enjoyed holding and handling the physical cards. I liked sleeving up my deck in high quality sleeves, shuffling the deck, laying the cards out on a table, physically building the deck with my hands, flipping through my cards. I started Magic nearly 20 years ago as a child, and physical cards were all that existed back then.

>Is it possible to play a vampire in a fantasy setting without being a huge edgelord?

Yes, but as you point out, there are other problems. The biggest one IMO is that you put other players in the position where, once their characters have discovered you're a vampire, they have to decide whether their characters would turn on you or not. Since players usually don't like killing other PCs because they don't want to upset anyone, you give them a tough choice.

>>54375929
That's true, although it kind've goes into the whole inherent alignment mess. Depends on whether vampires are considered inherently evil or not. Presumably a vampire PC would need to be approved of by the group so they'll at least know how their character would react before the game begins. Then again limiting other player's character options isn't good either.

>>54375848
If I were playing a vampire I'd go full ham edgelord, good guy or bad guy. Just seems like the most fun.

I've always wanted to play an Castlevania Alucard ripoff, but playing a vamp seems like a huge challenge mechanically, though, as well as character wise. Vampire PCs are going to be far stronger than most other PCs, and depending on where you're playing they have huge limitations the most obvious ones being sunlight and blood

I don't have much. Once I sold a guy health potions while he was dying.

Then there was the time I turned the party into team rocket members and got a bunch of children killed.

I think that's it.

DM did not see us backing out of the fight by sacrificing our friend and had to come up with another way for us to get info and better gear.

Rouge was a dick to me in and out of game. Fuck her.

It made sense at the time, since the DM wasn't really giving us any clues as to how we were supposed to go back to "our timeline."

It was my first real campaign and mistakes were definitely made, though.

Lichdom

>>54369818
The sort where you die and in your final moments you shit yourself and a chaotic evil necromancer binds your soul to the stool that is now lodged in your bowels. You're essentially a zombie, but that floating turd is the animating and "thinking" force for the entire body, controlling itself like a puppet. If it ever falls out or is passed out through unnatural digestive processes, the "zombie" falls lifeless and the stool attempts to move around, but isn't very powerful.

Vampirism. All the benefits of eternal life while still enjoying the pleasures of flesh.

That should say "with our boarders"
