Hi everyone,

Just posting to make people aware of our minecraft based Dwarf Fortress Roleplay server. Four races, mechanically adjusted with plugins and with a heavy emphasis on true dwarf fortress experience. Come on by and check the server out!

I ain't gone. Server is winding up last story arc. My attention is getting the new server set-up done. Custom maps don't build themselves. You'll probably hear from us once the changeover is done. Taking time however as we're also working on integrating elements of the conversion mod we're doing into the server- namely the dialogue system which allows people to speak in the DF languages, and have race specific chats.

Crosspostan from 4chan :V

I come to you because I am in an interesting situation, with an opportunity. You see, in my 4e game, normally, I play a Seeker. When the player who is often away, is, I play her Archer warlord as well.

Well, the DM finally got tired of her shit, and kicked her from the group. So I thought, rather than continue playing her character, I'd make my own Warlord/other leader, and have some fun of my own!

The group currently is a Centered Breath Monk, a Fighter that generates temporary hit points like crazy, a Seeker, and an archer warlord. My current plan is pic related, especially since we're about to go and fight us some Drow. We're lvl 4.

tl;dr, what leader role character should I make to replace a absentee player?

I'm actually playing a Kamina-style inspiring warlord. He may not go full retard in combat as much, but he heals and buffs the fuck out of his friends with manly speeches.

Okay. I want to start a little something on here, where players create classes, character archetypes, or just post builds that aren't necessarily powerful but that they just plain like.

If I may start: I would like to create a psionic-type character class for Pathfinder/D&D 3.5 that would take ability damage to use its powers, and heal such "burn" at an accelerated rate (possibly extending to hp/ability damage at later levels, and/or allowing the swapping out of hp healing for ability damage healing). What I really come here for is the name; from there I can PROBABLY make the class on my own (though I'll want some others to eyeball it and possibly playtest it). I'm going to start working on the class right now, as a matter of fact.

Pic related, it's kind of the inspiration for this idea.
>>
No. 10396 ID: 30df25

I like the original 'patch' for D&D 4E to include Monks (this was before the psionics handbook came out for 4E). It was a dual-strike Ranger that used 'unarmed' as the weapon of choice. Swap out the class feature "Hunter's Quarry" for something that will improve AC a bit and improve movement speed at each tier.

I lost the actual document; it was in my 4E Player's handbook as an errata page I glued in, but I sold that book off at a gamer garage sale.
>>
No. 10450 ID: 5b4b49

Actually if you rewrote the class, I think that flavor-wise a Monk would make a very kickass version of that most elusive of 4e combos: Martial Controller. At least if you go by 3e's ideas and maybe make a lot of "move Speed squares and make this attack" powers.

I dunno, maybe I'm being silly, but I think that'd be neat myself. And yeah, Martial is explicitly "non-magic", so maybe some Monk powers would, as written, be not allowed. But, you can take HOW many hits from a 1[W] attack a day, at level 10? BEFORE even second-winding.

Anyone else interested in making a class, for any game that uses such things?

I'd look into something simple to start with. I think it was D&D 3.5 that was the super entry-level one, but I can't be sure. Regardless of what you choose, be prepared for some spreadsheets and math before the fun starts. A lot of charactergen stuff requires it.

Grids were introduced because all the tapemeasuring was a major timesink and a *pain in the ass*. Letting a neutral referee make spot judgements for speed of play was fine-in the old pvp games when there *were* neutral referees. In D&D letting the DM "eyeball it" never ends well for the players.

Stone Soup time.. with a difference.

Rather that discuss how we all horribly died for the millionth time, I figured we could make use of the arena function.

There won't be tiles, but we can see who can kick who's ass. I can to multiple opponents on each side, including multiples of different monsters(some run in bands so I can specify ___ band), and I can battle uniques as well. I can also specify a spawn from a certain part of the dungeon like vault 7. That will spawn monsters appropriate for that area. I can't chose the specific monster that will spawn from that area.. but I can say how many. I also have to name for each side. This also means I can specify a unique to fight on one side.. then say do vault 7 for the opposing team.

Go wild.

When giving monster names, please give the full name. Especially on uniques. I can't just put Blork. I have to put Blork the Orc. The full name of what they are called in game.

I'll be doing an example run first. Three gnolls versus Sigmund. Make your bets now before scrolling down.

Going to run a fun little game, I'll need 3-6 players

I will choose the most applicable characters, bonus points for character sketches!

to create your Astranian determine your 4 stats

Action: for fighting and body things
Guts: for how much bad stuff you can take,
Smarts: for smart guys stuff like computers and fixing things
Looks: for talking and being pretty

each stat starts at 1, and you've got 8 points to spread around

Also you'll need to pick 3 things your Astranian is really good at
And 3 things they are really bad at.

Each Astranian starts with a set of clothes(gravboots not included), 10 vapins(money) 2 tech items, and 2 extra batteries to fuel them

and finally you gotta write a short Bio about your Astrannian.

I posted about this on other /tg/, but some folks here might be interested, plus this board moves nowhere as fast, always a bonus.
Anyways, I'm making a Redwall RPG using a customized d20 system (classess, economyless, almost no magic).
I'm finished with the PC races and am almost done with the "class" system.
I'm tweaking skills, specifically reworking Craft and Perform, and introducing Alchemy, Brewing, Cooking, Mining, and Sailing.
I'm rounding off the feat selection, trying to simplify it somewhat.
I've yet to start NPC rules, such as stats for vermin and other beasts. I've reworked distance and time, added additional rules for healing, and I'm almost done with weapons, armor and equipment.
I'm also making a random vermin name generator.

I've been rereading the entire series and taking extensive notes about the setting, the capabilities of the races, scale, distance and time, mannerisms, spiritual beliefs, and pretty much anything else that catches my eye.

Here's most of the first 2 chapters:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Tvx7sjmAKSSFloW0idElmf-FbQx7kXFp9X_D-MIdyDQ/edit?usp=sharing

If anyone has questions or suggestions I'd love to hear them.

REIGN is a spin-off of the One Roll Engine, by Greg Stolze

http://www.gregstolze.com/reign/


It does low-powered fantasy well, and it is extremely mutable (the designer of the game goes into detail in the companion book, The REIGN Enchiridion, about why he made the design choices he did and how to modify it without breaking the game).


I'll admit I'm a fanboy for REIGN, and felt it might be cool to adapt Redwall to it, but as one of the guys trying to develop the Redwall One Roll hack, I really appreciate the scaffolding you all laid out.

So what you are saying is, certain intellectual properties intimately linked with (but legally distinct from) dungeons and/or dragons may have borrowed inspiration from the literary work of the man responsible for 90% of the modern fantasy genre's groundwork, especially as it relates to dragons and dungeons? Astounding.

I mean this particular connection never became obvious to me either, but I am not surprised that such things happen.

Pic unrelated. I'm not sure if anyone is interested, but I gotta post this somewhere and tg/ needs some love so here's something I whipped up for GURPS 3e out of boredom and frustration:

ONE-ROLL COMBAT FOR GURPS 3e

LITE VERSION:

Each defense starts at -5 points, plus the normal attributes and bonuses in conventional GURPS 3E (the defenses are Dodge, Parry, and Block).

For each attack, the ATTACKING player chooses a body part to aim at and the DEFENDING player chooses a defense to use.

The attacker subtracts the defender's defense score from their weapon skill, and then tries to roll at or below it (they roll 3d6).

If successful the attacker chooses one die to represent damage dealt (multiply by the number of damage dice you would normally roll, then add/subtract any other modifiers).

If the attacker chose to aim at ANY body part, he/she chooses another die (aside from the damage die) to represent the body part hit:

I thought this would work better than the standard critical rolls for one-roll attacks,

SCALING CRITICALS:

Critical = rolling triples (all three dice rolled show the same number on their faces)

Critical Failure = Fumble

Critical Success = Triumph/Trump (haven't chosen which sounds better)

If you roll triples AND you roll at or below your skill, it becomes a TRIUMPH/TRUMP, and acts the same as a conventional GURPS 3E critical.

If you roll triples AND you roll above your skill, it becomes a FUMBLE, and acts like a conventional GURPS fumble.

A roll of 3 is always a Triumph/Trump, and a roll of 18 is always a Fumble.

Rolling 4 is not a critical, and rolling 17 is not a fumble.

Pros: players with high skill have more critical successes, works well with the one-roll combat mechanic

Cons: players with low skill have more fumbles, GMs have to deal with slightly more fumbles and criticals

I downloaded autorealm but there is no support or anything for it to tell me how to use the program.

What do people use (besides minecraft) to design ships in games?
Campaign Cartographer has Cosmographer
which can be used by those who know how - but how many own it - through either purchase or having it "fall off the back of the tubes" ?
I'm guessing the next two suggestions are sketchup or MS Paint.

I have used (and don't laugh) a copy of "My Sweet Home" it is not great for curved / angled features but gives you a 3d image with skin-able objects. I know it is not perfect and I just started out - It's not CAD but it works -sort of.

Op here. I ended up finding some really high quality discworld maps online.
For every thing else I end up using Fractal mapper to give the basic shape of a place then draw the rest in in photo ship. It's a bit of work but achieves the desired effect.

This is my favourite tool for making land maps. Always does islands, but they are very very well-made islands.

#Tozolwatch

Hello all! I'm planning on running a semi-homebrew game of Deathwatch, oriented around a team of Tozols (a la Tozol Quest) on their mercenary misadventures, as well as their fierce battles for survival.

I'd love to recruit some players for it, if at all possible!

In which tozols have breakfast, and check out their new ride.

A short one with little in the way of plot developments, as Veirs' player was attending to important RL matters and we felt it better to wait on him.

Thus Spake the Orky Fella:
Hey y'all, trying to make a good trap style dungeon in D&D 4e, similar to the good old grimy days of 2e when I first started. The party, while having played some pnp, have not actually played D&D before, and I want to teach them caution and care, to approach things with measured amounts of guts and glory, suspicion and malign.
Any tips that you have here, things that you lot remember from your youth or things you have sprung on your own players? Starting at level 1, and open to a lot of ideas. The area is a classic underground cave dwelling that is under a river.

The Orky Fellow returns.
My updates are short these days, following a severe drought of gaming happening.
>sigh
But this one is quite fun (sorta).
The group decided to rest out in a underground graveyard of a abandoned dwarven fastness.
Deciding to sleep in shifts, I had them make perception checks and such to see if they noticed anything. I rolled a shitton behind the screen, just to fuck with their metagaming minds (do this a lot recently), until I roll one of the special numbers of 60/70/80/90. I got a 90, time to JUST AS PLANNED them.
I have a magic mouth, planted by the BBEG necromonster in the center of the room, start to speak to them in the most obnoxiously effeminate, flaming gay voice I can muster after 22 hours of no sleep. I must have done a good job as the group replies to the goading with groans, ooc jokes and general aggravation at the idea of being found out.
>stop letting Thin Man escape and maybe you could have moved unheard of
The sorc does a detect magic, and finds it on the floor, the ranger points it out (damn sky high perception) offhand. The warden walks over, asks for a description of the mouth, I tell him it's a big mouth, big teeth, with no lips, think Cheshire Cat. He (predictably) smashes it with his hammer, and eats a trap, blinding, glittering powder spews from the broken teeth.
>glitterdust was always one of my favorite spells
I tell him he is blinded, save doesn't end, and tell the rest of the group he sparkles in the light, setting off a new round of Twilight references, disparaging homosexual slurs and so forth. The sorc does a detect magic on the powder, and is surprised when he is told it is NOT magic (I decided to not make this so simple, use your skills people). The sorc chats with warlord, deciding to simply wash it out of his eyes. The warden then feels a

Holy shit, this thread is still here?
Well, since it's here, and so have I, I will pace out the end of this particular story.
The group breaks out, having had a decent rest, and sallied forth along the trail already blazed to trails untested.
The warlord asks for a moment to say a few solitary prayers to the dead, as the paladin did not, and leaves back to the crypt, his torch bobbing into the darkness.
>the warlord's player had to leave due to drama within the group, apparently he hit on the one player's girl who was also playing
Returning to the crossroads, they took the turn they demurred on prior, traveling down a long, worked stone hall with many turns and twists, eventually coming to an odd length of hall studded with disembodied arms and legs.

One of my characters was in a hall similar to that one once. I just started hacking the limbs off with my greataxe until some skeleton archers showed up at the other end.

Dunno if you still check this, but I'm actually interested in the exciting conclusion. The whole thing was a fun read.

For the love of God, MOAR. This is like if you took Old Man Henderson and made him a dumbass instead of a badass. And then made four more.

Seriously, this is hilarious.
