One of my personal Shoggy favourites.
There was a story a couple weeks ago, about a Necromancer in a small village, who became a doctor.
I wish I'd had saved it.
>>53191470
And one a few days ago about a psionic
Let's play a game. It's called "Guess the greentext".
>It all began with a huge misunderstanding. What is an "anime character", really?
>>53191470
Plumb through the 4plebs archives.
one that is still pending...
>>53190525
This is incredible. Seems like the kind of thing that'd get gimmicky after a while but the amount of effort the DM put into the character and the way the players leaned into it is just great.
>>53192019
Shoggy and his group are like, the epitome of what I would want from a gaming group.

If you're interested here's a link to the DM's detailed description of how he did it (sorry for Reddit, but it's where he hangs out): https://www.reddit.com/r/gametales/comments/274nvp/35_shoggy_the_seldom_dog/chxckde/
>>53188717
I hope other people remember this one
Also I'm looking for the greentext of the dude who got stuck in the tub after the wizard used enlarge person on him
The only new-ish content I have is from the Mummy as an RPG thread, which isn't really a greentext. I can post it if there's anyone who's interested and hasn't seen it though.
>>53192299
>sorry for Reddit
I have an honest question for you guys: what's with the unnecessary hate for Reddit? It seems to be more of a childish meme at this point. It's just a site, like this one, with good parts and bad parts. Unjustly vilified, though. Not trying to troll or cause trouble, I am just honestly perplexed.
>>53192725

wouldn't you still have to roll grapple?
How could you lift him if you don't have a good hold?
Someone please share the one with the tiefling paladin with the bittersweet ending
I am looking for a specific story where someone shoots a baby out of a canon and can't find it, please help.
This is a pretty bad selection so far from someone hoping to call these the "best" that /tg/ has to offer.
requesting the one with the guy in the forum post RPG space-western-fantasy type game that he joined on a whim.. can't remember many details but he wasn't liked at all then just became an NPC or something?
>>53192725
Shitty UI with a shitty community.
>>53192725
Same as wit furries. It's the people.
>>53192725
Bad community, combined with the rating system and censor happy mods turns the entire site into an insufferable circlejerk. Like you can't even TRY to have a dissenting opinion there since you'll get downvoted to oblivion and maybe banned.
All I got, need to actually save more.
>>53188717
At least the blacksmith's talents never went to waste.
>>53192725
Cuck detected
This happened to a guy in the nwn server where we play
>> DM asks for a Listen Roll
>> Druid rolls a 1
>> DM goes in detail on how insted of the forest sounds, all he hears is the engine of a Sopwith Camel
>> Druid is an half orc from Faerun, he goes WTF
>> Druid is reliving one of his precedent lives, where he was a German spy during WWI
>> Gets gunned by a dog with a red scarf flying a plane
>> Choke on his own blood, smiling as he sees the Red Baron flying in the distance
>> His last thought is of Marie, the belgian woman who is waiting for him in Malta, pregnant with his son.
>> She will be waiting for him, forever.
>> Druid is back being Druid, in a forest near Waterdeep.
>> All the memories of his precedent life vanish, leaving him sad, without knowing why.
>> All of this only for a critical failure on a Listen check.
One of the best
>>53192725
Because us is better than them.
In the end it's only round and round and round.
Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?
lol
used to frequent /r/worldbuilding before i came across /tg/ like roughly a year ago or so
so now i decide to join worldbuilding discord server, for brain storming and shit
my username by default is ethniccleansing
insta messaged by admins "Change your name or you will be banned."
WTF? what faggotry is this
>>53193266
Looking for this one as well. Wondering if that guy ever posted the sequel I believe he was talking about.
I'm still partial towards this one. Short but sweet.
>>53188717
I never like stories like this because they're just so obvious. Of course the blacksmith isnt going to find love, and of course his adventurous daughter is going to use the shit he made. Its not even a very uplifting story. Nobody other than their daughter is really happy with the way things turned out, and even she just got a free stuff and some self-confidence out of it.
>>53197035
>>53193266
It's Heroes of the Spiderwoods.
>>53197035
>Wondering if that guy ever posted the sequel I believe he was talking about.
If he did, we would let you know. Sequel to Spiderwoods is not something that just goes unnoticed.

Take your "Edgy is normal" shit elsewhere
>>53197098
Know what bothers me the most about it? The story completely ignores what could have been a far more bruising story of how good people can sometimes have conflicting ideas on what they want to make them happy, and neither side is actually wrong.
Like, look at how the Anon is clearly making the "Blonde Bimbo" and "Bumbling Mage" in the wrong by writing them as vapid, self-interested and explicitly evil... Why? Because the Blonde Bimbo turned her back on the Blacksmith's Son and married some asshole, of course! How dare she do that! It's not like the Blonde Bimbo could have had a change of heart and realized she actually wanted the Bumbling Mage, and it's not like they could've actually been happy together while the Blacksmith's Son allows frustration and anger consume him for the rest of his days - oh no, the Blonde Bimbo becomes the Evil Queen and the Bumbling Mage becomes the vile Lich which the Blacksmith's Son's Daughter must slay.
>>53197792
To be fair, getting upset over a username is dumb.
>>53196916
Welcome to LeRibbit.
>>53197888
Granted.
But to be upset when you walk into a scenario where people aren't going to like it is setting yourself up for it.
>Be feminist
>Walk into club
>Yell about how men are evil for hitting on her/not hitting on her
It works both ways, and that anon is retarded for not getting that.
>>53191470
Might not be the one you're thinking of, but it's close.
>>53197871
Did you miss the part where the Mage was a lich disguised and the "bimbo" was ambushed and used as a thoughtless thrall by said lich?
Mage was already evil, and Bimbo got stabbed in the back then risen.
>>53197967
>Did you miss the part where the Mage was a lich disguised and the "bimbo" was ambushed and used as a thoughtless thrall by said lich?
I, ahh... I only skimmed it while filling in the blanks from last time I actually read it in full.The Mage being evil is kind of bullshit, though. It's pretty much a cop-out to say everyone's faultless because it really was the evil guy the entire time.
>>53197998*bap*
The mage wasn't a mage though.
It was just a smart evil lich disguised so he could get close to the second hero.
Hell, maybe the first hero fought the lich bravely and the lich defeated them in normal combat, then revived them and went into hiding (As said mage, looking out for heros trying to stop his work)
Do any of you have the one from this guy that played on a freeform game on an anime forum?
I think that the anon tried to kill the cringey autistic super stong guy, and the whole scenario was anime-themed and shit.
Speaking of liches

It's ballad of Edgardo.
Does anyone have the one about the unarmed fighter who gets blown to shit by a cultist/god and gets resurrected into a god by his daughter and a scroll of wish?
>>53188717
>>53197888
My take on usernames is if you wouldn't wear it on your t-shirt at a con, you shouldn't go by it on public servers.
>>53196862
I want to use this so bad

Shit like this is why the Rule of Two was enacted.
>>53201990

>>53192665
Assuming you're still around, or someone else has a cap or archive link, I'd like to see that.
>>53203246
I am going to post that in a filename thread with the title "Black Crusade"

No explanation anyone could give you would penetrate your thick, undeveloped skull (let alone the helmet you're currently wearing), so I'm just going to tell you to gtfo
>>53192725
The man who just saw his daughter and wife being raped and murdered, his neighbours flayed and his city pillaged and burnt, has not the 100th part of the hate I feel for you in this very moment.
Only the fact that my pc was expensive keeps me from punching through the monitor and throwing it out of the window. I literally would not care if you are a cancerous child in hospital, or a fat cumguzzling neckbeard in his mother´s basement (probably the latter); if I met you right now, I´d torture you to death in ways you cant even begine to imagine.
I passionately hate every ounce of your shithole of a website, every little corner of it. Everyone who frequents it is lower than dirt, lower than shit, lower and more despicable than anything on this planet.
You all are literal subhumans, and my raging hate for you and your disgustingly smug and sweetly hugbox burns as bright as the sun.
I wish you only a long and agonizing death, nothing more, nothing less. And I pray to every god I know of, that I may be the one to end your unworthy life.
That is all.
>>53196916
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
GEEEETTTTT OOOUUUUUUTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!
>>53192725
It's a combination of the fact that Reddit has a lot of thing that are generally frowned upon here (up-vote whoring, active mods and no Anonymity), is a newer, but more "popular" forum that 4chan, has a userbase that leans to the left of the political spectrum and the general "us vs. them" mentality on the internet just makes it a good boogeyman. Most of the time it's used as a meme to say "I disagree with what you've said, but don't have an argument/can't be bothered to make one against you" and can just be substituted with "REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" Anyone who actually gets mad at Reddit being mentioned is either trying to be edgy or has some form of autism.
Also for me personally I find the general layout of the sight visual unappealing.
But back on topic, I always like this one, really great campaign idea.
>>53203806
Different Anon, but I got those. Not as good as the Pirates of the Caribbean ones in my opinion though.

>>53194858
I didn't know there was a follow-up where they found each other the next day. I'd only ever seen the Captain Drake part. That's cool as shit.
>>53192725
4chan hates everything that isn't 4chan, but 4chan ESPECIALLY hates anything that attempts to fill the niche of 4chan, because the only thing that 4chan hates more than not 4chan is 4chan, so things that aren't 4chan that bare likeness to 4chan are reviled above all 4chan.

>>53220211
gotcha dude
>>53222520
Well it's a nice story, but it's also a perfect example of why custom races should be allowed in non-crunchy systems. It always turns into such mary-sue bullshit, which the DM then inevitably winds up over-scaling for and wiping out the none-cheesy characters.
>>23679675
That is the saddest yet most beautiful fucking story I ahve ever read.
>>53223393
What did he mean by this?
>>53220512
That sounds a bit like the story of Goblin Quest, where the protagonist is a Goblin enslaved by an adventuring party that decides to become a cleric. He does so because he wagers he can't get as good with the sword as the fighers, can't learn magic fast enaugh and can't become a rogue, so the easy way out is to become a cleric like the dwarf.
So he asks the dwarf if there are gods for goblins, but the dwarf says no, there are only dark gods cursed to be forgotten by civilization. One of them intervenes though and makes the dwarf remember his name even though that is normally not possible. The goblin CAN remember it though, because he is an uncivilized Goblin.
The god is the god of the autumn star, an ever wispering short guy in a black robe with bells as stars and eyes that are an infinite abyss.
The god though is just insanely lonely and insanely sassy and agrees to help him if he worships him, being the ever sarcastic voice in his head because he has literally nothing else to do than follow his only followers every waking and sleeping moment, and has no followers because he is usually more a god of peace and niceness but humans and other civilized folk can't remember him long enaugh to worship him and orks and goblins neither know of him nor would usually have a use for a god of peace and harvest.

did they have a pleasant life together

It's always nice to see stories you were there for still being brought up years later.
Does anyone have the one about a pirate game where the world is always stormy or something and they fight a dark god and one of the guys ascends and becomes new god but he's good and stuff?
