When was the last time you or someone else roleplayed out the vast cultural differences that can happen between a character and their environment, or even the cultural differences between characters? Have you ever roleplayed ethnic differences, or even stereotypes?
Wasn't there going to be new avowed stuff this week, did it drop without any big announcement? What was the new stuff supposed to even be? I sure hope there was more subpacts, especially for Self Pact.
Cooper Thompson
2nd for guns r bad.
Jaxson Wilson
Because user Players will never survive if you actually put your back to it as GM to kill them
Easton Kelly
I'm playing in a game where the DM is giving us a free gestalted prestige class of our choice. I'm playing an Oracle, and for my prestige class I chose Evangelist- that means I get Aligned Class, but there's no point in taking it with Oracle because I'm taking Oracle levels side-by-side with Evangelist. So I needed to take a single level dip in another class or else I'd be wasting the Aligned Class feature, and I picked Sorcerer.
So we just reached 2nd level, and I'm taking my Sorc level. When we reach level 6, the Evangelist-gestalt will kick in, and the level after that Aligned Class will start going. But until then, I'll only have one Sorc level, which means just two 1st level spells known (on the Sorc side). I know one of them will be Color Spray, but do you guys have a suggestion for what the other one should be? At the moment I'm thinking either Charm Person or Grease, but am open to other ideas. I offer swanky-looking rings in exchange for advice.
My current Oracle spells are Cure Light Wounds, Murderous Command, and Bless, FYI.
Brayden Rodriguez
But I'm not a particularly good DM!
Jaxon Cooper
That just means you have even bigger risk of outright killing them by going too hard on them
Evan Taylor
But in this module I've been running they've only had one seriously challenging encounter! There's like no tension!
Jason Wright
I played an elf that was adopted by dwarves. For the most part, he was a walking dwarven stereotype, but except that, you know... he was an elf. I didn't get to play him long enough to really get into the ethnic stuff, but it was a lot of fun and all the other players liked him a lot.
Parker Edwards
last campaign I was in I tried, but everyone kinda just rolled their eyes, ignored it, and focused on "boohoo my wife is missing" all the time.
Benjamin Phillips
Did your players choose easy mode by making their characters so strong?
Adrian Ortiz
Guys! Guys!
Who do you think is going to have the biggest culture shock out of the Rise of the Jade Regent characters when they go to the Land of the Linnorm Kings? Tian Xia?
David Sanders
I don't understand the "a bloo bloo bloo, my character might die" attitude after level 4-5 or so. Once you reach those levels you have the money to afford resurrection by some means. People get offended that their character might be in any form of actual danger. Heck even at low levels the only real issue is just how fragile you are.
I understand that attitude in other systems, but in Pathfinder I just can't fathom it. If you want to play with no character death then why play D&D or one of its derivatives.
People will argue "I should only be able to die at points of high drama". Honestly that fucking sense of entitlement is one of the major reasons I stopped GMing for randoms.
William Ross
>Once you reach those levels you have the money to afford resurrection by some means
I don't even like resurrection at those levels, I just love the gravitas that comes with your character getting bloody murdered after becoming so close to the party after months of gaming.
Carter Robinson
In two games I ran I removed death as a meaningful consequence and it turned out pretty well.
Oliver Bennett
I'll do least shocked instead. >LotLK Corwin >Hongal Seht >Minkai Onryou
Brody Evans
>mfw Corwin shows everyone the sights in Kalsgard >mfw Onryou in Japan >mfw Seht goes to the Land of Horse Archers and discovers he's a prodigy even there
And hey, if they go to Magnimar Valeriya could show the gang around!
Carter White
why is that anime girl so shit?
Jonathan Lewis
I don't think I've ever seen an opinion so objectively WRONG.
James Bailey
I don't even know what that anime girl is, or what show she's from, just that that gif loop looks moronic and like something straight out of a CSI episode about weaboos
Thomas Anderson
Kobeni is best girl. ... well okay best girl after Yukikaze.
Chase Gutierrez
>Fluffy closes this sunday >one trap >one titty monster >one small to medium girl >one non trap guy Whos getting in?
Jordan Sullivan
Who are the cutest Celestials?
Dominic Baker
...huh. Did Seht come off as a prodigy? I wasn't going for that, the horsemanship and archery was supposed to be a Shoanti trait.
Kevin Sanders
Seht's going to be level 12 when the party stumbles into Hongal, that makes him a better horse archer than 99% of the people in Hongal.
Also, gestalt.
Samuel Reyes
Nobody. Whole thing was bait from start to finish.
Asher Wood
Just saying, but Sorcerer is kind of a waste, since action economy issues will prevent you from taking full advantage of it.
You'd be better off with, say, Magician Bard and taking the Harmonic Spell feat, and then you can use the spell-boosting Magician Bard benefits and your Oracle spells at the same time.
Levi Rogers
Why is Transformative Familiar a mythic ability? It seems like it would be perfectly fine as a feat.
Landon Parker
The same could be said for half of the things that end up being labeled mythic.
Matthew Phillips
Right, but the leveling is a result of experience, not inborn talent. He's supposed to be a spiritual prodigy, what with being touched by Desna, but not a physical one.
Gabriel Smith
Stop tearing my compliment apart, you silly goober.
Wyatt Green
Character Advancement is abstraction Character growth can be anything you want
Camden Taylor
Stop making me doubt how well I can convey thoughts over text!
Ethan Hernandez
Last session. Yes. Yes.
Landon Wood
Kotomi is best girl. Always kotomi.
Oliver Perez
Any good programs or apps for managing characters and spells?
Noah Sanders
>managing characters PCGen. It doesn't have all of the latest books (think it's like a year delayed) but it's good for basics.
Aiden Ortiz
Lyrakien azata
Hudson Smith
...
Notepad.exe?
I mean, what exactly are you trying to do?
Zachary Wood
Are the non-PbP RotJR games voiced or text only? Are they going to be recorded for our enjoyment?
Zachary Cooper
If you're willing to pay money, take a look at Hero Lab. They license the books from Paizo so stuff includes the full text and original names, and they're generally up to date to about a month or less within the current books.
Evan Ortiz
Keep track of gear and remaining spell usage.
William Myers
text over IRC, maps over roll20
Jacob Green
>voiced
Never.
N E V E R E V E R
Brandon Stewart
I wish I could share my voice with the lovely people in my party, user.
>Hating voice
WHY?
Camden Bell
>say the game is over text >this means I hate voice
????????? The GM wanted to do a game over IRC. And?
Levi Rogers
I might just make an Excel spreadsheet.
Eli Wright
>assuming I'm lovely >assuminh I'm not actually a dog on the internet
James Davis
I imagine most anons are ashamed of their voice or, like me, don't have mics.
Link related. This user hated the way his voice sounds on vocaroo. Imagine hearing this describing how they brutally eviscerate the goblin with their +1 Longsword of Maiming and Extreme Murder Holy Shit Like Serious This is Serial Killer Stuff Like You're Just Chopping Up the Body Parts Now For No Mechanical BenefitS Other Then Your Sick Perverse Pleasure What's Wrong With You.
Kevin Roberts
What's so bad abou- >his Oh.
Jacob Anderson
That or all the anons that pretend they're girls - and I don't mean their characters - and then you see balding beardy mc'adamsapple on the webcam and you're reminded "identifying as" is bull.
Joseph Stewart
>lewd game >voice user...
Isaiah Brooks
I think some of the people on here honestly do not understand...
Nathaniel Clark
Does anyone have the list of stuff Paizo talked about for Starfinder?
Brandon Kelly
I was in an RL game with this big turbobeardguy once, and he came out as trans. I tried REALLY REALLY HARD to not be unsettled, but when this guy the size of two of you shows up with a padded bra and doing his best falsetto it's just... oy.
Jordan Ross
>Aranha knows nothing except about her home town.
Ryan Jones
I fucking know, right?
It's like I say: scribble Real Ferrari all you want on the hood, that shit's still an '86 Lada.
Joshua Morales
So! Who all's excited for the weekend? Any big plans, game-related or otherwise?
Ryan Peterson
ROTJR STARTING! I AM MORE HYPE THAN MAN!
Ryder Reyes
SLEEPY GODDESS PICKS IT"S PLAYERS ON THE 4th!
That's tomorrow bitches!
Who else comfy hype?
Chase Reed
It's like I say, you can't tell what's under the hood from the color of the paint. Also; don't talk about shit you don't understand, and especially not if you're going to make a stupid analogy to do so.
Charles Rivera
>mfw someone just submitted an application that uses the same gestalt build I was planning on using >mfw it is uncannily similar >mfw I can't blame applicant for stealing it because he didn't steal it, my idea just wasn't original enough >mfw my application is dead in the water before even submitting it
I want to be mad at him but I can't even blame him for applying. He's got good taste.
Luis White
>don't say what build or game user plz
William Taylor
>literally pointless comfy for the sake of comfy >started an even more retarded wave of /pfg/ games I'm not.
Carson White
You're just an autist who can't appreciate gaming for the sake of gaming. I bet you rage quit games if anyone deals more damage in a round then you.
Tell me more about your high DPR ratio.
Carson Anderson
What part exactly did we not understand? That some big guy with more beard than I've ever managed to grow expects us to keep a straight face when he tells us he's always been a woman?
Cameron Foster
>tfw wondering if I'm that someone I'm sorry user. Maybe we can work something out? Be siblings, maybe?
Nicholas Russell
>wanting something more than the vague and tenebrous concept of "muh comfy" means you only care about combat
Jonathan Moore
Okay. I deal more damage in one round than the rest of my party does in two. Doesn't matter because we understand how narrative structure works and that doing nothing but jerking each other off about how cute we all are would get boring after one session.
Ryder Anderson
Let me guess. You're one of the six symbiote slayers for assassins game who got buttmad when DHB applied.
Ryder Flores
Let me guess. You're that guy that keeps slobbing his knob?
Anthony Morales
This, which is ironic since plenty of viable comfy campaign concepts have been posted around here.
Asher Lopez
Sure, concepts.
Name five that were anything more then just "concepts."
Charles Bennett
REGENTBOWL CONFIRMED
GET FUCKING HYPE
James Green
The fact that people got buttmad when someone applied first with the same class combo is asinine.
Jonathan Long
The party are a gang of hedge knights traveling from tourney to tourney in the hopes of winning glory and, more importantly, a liege lord.
Ayden Sullivan
Ok who had that list of pfg games
Nicholas Wood
None of them are worth joining.
Don't bother.
Nathan Gonzalez
A mediocre game is better than no game.
Mason Lewis
You poor, poor soul.
Do not go down the path I went.
Let my suffering be the lesson for you.
/pfg/ games are not worth it.
Yes, a mediocre game is better than no game.
But no game is better then a /pfg/ game.
Do not let my suffering be in vain, user.
Bentley Mitchell
I was going to make a young man of high prestige that moonlights as a pretty dancer and secretly does good deeds and lewd things. A rebellious follower of Desna, Black Butterfly, and Arshea. I was working on a Warlord/Bard or Warlord/Vigilante for Wrath of the Raunchy but I spent way too much time searching for pictures and trying to figure out the details of the build.
Nope, but I might try that game next with something not-so-lewd.
Jaxon Jackson
Then every new locale shall be a wondrous new adventure for little spooder.
Blake Johnson
>no game is better than a /pfg/ game You heard it here, folks, /pfg/ games are the best!
Caleb Scott
Literally the opposite is true
Leo Bennett
No game is better than a bad game. A mediocre game is about equal with no game. Anything above mediocre is better than no game.
Luke Martin
>mfw I just want to play in a game >mfw I never get picked in any of the games posted in /pfg/ I'm pretty much to the point that if I don't get picked for any of the games currently recruiting, I'm just going to leave Veeky Forums.
Blake Foster
Ehh, don't worry about it. I accidentally stole someone's character archetype and someone else's roll20 user name because I deliberated between 3 different builds. Just go for the vig/warlord build and differentiate it with less punching or something.
Hunter Bell
Running a non degenerate game with my friends on Saturday, gonna be lit
Zachary Lopez
>mfw tonight comes and goes, and there isn't a session for RotJR
Carson Campbell
I have been in the "honorable mentions" for every game I applied to. It makes me sad.
John Harris
Run your own game faggot
Ian Cooper
Well you got that going for you though. People like you, your characters or your designs. The feel obligated to mention you, even if you don;t make the selection.
Of the games I've applied to, not a single one has even remotely mentioned me. Which makes me think that my style or genre of character isn't popular, appreciated or desired in the games posted around here.
But I can't play in a game I GM. How new are you?
Charles Bailey
Not a witchhunt, merely friendly memery.
How would you rate DHB's characters out of 10, which do you think is the best? The worst? We have: >NTRDwarf >NToRacle >Old Spy >Punch Fattery >Gun Monkey >Moon Hopper >Asmo-Fish >Weird Triplets
Which has the most meme potential? Who are the best written? Punch Fatty top tier in my opinion, NToRacle bottom tier.
Jose Myers
I don't give a fuck because DHB is just one player out of many.
Zachary Barnes
What character do you want to talk about user? Lets talk about them.
Dylan Reed
U-Umm...
Jayden Rivera
What player do you find interesting? We as a thread can look over people's sheets and back stories.
Nathan Gonzalez
Now is not the time or place to start memeing another person!
