Hi chat. Play RPGs other than D&D 5e :)

Is Lancer the mech ttrpg?

indigo lantern
#

yea

Lancer is such a fun system

As someone been both a player and a DM in Lancer, It's a really good system with an absolute trove of third party stuff and the player facing stuff is free.

Can we war our hams here? Channel does say RPGs, but warhams is tabletop too

desert iron
#

Here for warhammers, but go to the gunpla thread for gunplas

subtle zinc
#

Noted!

indigo lantern
#

question is it okay if i talk about magic the gathering in this channel? or is that off topic

icy mulch
#

it’s probably related enough

indigo lantern
#

okay so i pulled famished worldsire last week and built a deck with it and used gimli mournful avenger as a commander this week i pulled a better commander and replaced gimli, also i pulled cosmogrand zenith but i will never use that card as its not apart of the silly land deck im building rn

#

this is what famished worldsire does :3

icy mulch
#

it’s pretty damn good

#

im gonna be honest

indigo lantern
#

the new commander is a red green creature with a landfall ability

#

when i play a land my oponents take 1 damage and if this is the second time it has happened draw a card

icy mulch
#

the power creep is not hard to spot in edge of eternities

indigo lantern
#

yea

#

honestly i could have shoved famished worldsire into one of the precons and it would have just made it powerful

icy mulch
#

it’s more of a power sprint at this point

indigo lantern
#

i also made a really anoying deck based on rolling dice as mr house

velvet idol
icy mulch
#

like what do you mean i get to cheat out etali with haste for three mana?

indigo lantern
#

for an online thing i dont own mr house or the cards irl

velvet idol
#

I pulled a Sammy wild cat captain promo card from my pre-release event it

#

is nice

#

The commander deck around it though is weird

indigo lantern
#

i got this guy as my commander i also drew sammy in my first pack

velvet idol
#

Did you know sami is they/them

indigo lantern
#

does anyone wanna see my gambling deck tho, i am kinda proud of it

indigo lantern
#

also yea

velvet idol
#

But i made a commander deck around them and its just artifact vomit i should make a jeskai artifact deck so i can get card draw

indigo lantern
#

my first pack of aetherdrift did have me ending up with loot hte pathfinder

icy mulch
#

my very first card i ever drafted was ugin eye of the storm

indigo lantern
#

my first ever magic card was ajani's chosen

#

still have it

hallow oak
#

should I add more evolve creatures?

hallow oak
#

I feel like I might still need more consistent card draw to make Me, the Immortal work

haughty birch
#

I’ve been looking at Kings of War as it’s basically just a cheaper Warhammer Fantasy, anyone know stuff about it?

azure surge
#

Kings of War seems to fill in the same role that Warhammer Fantasy did where most armies seem to be classic groups/races.
Then again I haven't really looked that much into it as I am more attracted to the weirder style of fantasy like what Age of Sigmar's armies are

steep aurora
#

Oh shit Critical Role announced campaign 4

icy mulch
#

oh cool another 500 hour campaign i’m never gonna have the time to listen to

azure surge
#

Apparently they are gonna have Brennan Lee Mulligan DM this one

velvet idol
#

Oh no

azure surge
#

Yeah idk, it could be good but there are some issues that I have with some critical role cast members when they play so I think I will continue to sit it out

#

like I, for some reason, can't stand Sam Riegel and I know that is harsh but I dislike his characters and his voice is grating to me

subtle zinc
#

Still super WIP but we out here eating worlds and definitely not turning our backs on the Imperium no sir.

haughty birch

#

I believe so too, in my opinion it is probably better just to get Kings of War minis than to try and buy the new warhammer fantasy stuff

I bought the new pf2e Battlecry book at GenCon.
The Commander and Guardian classes they added are super neat.

desert iron
#

Commander is my new favorite class

#

As a big fan of playing party tactician, I love all the abilities and flavor

indigo lantern
#

anything that can do boardwipes do kill the momentum of this deck

fervent hollow
# desert iron As a big fan of playing party tactician, I love all the abilities and flavor

Im in the same boat. My GM and I joked that I would be insufferable if I played either of the new classes. My current Champion already gives them enough trouble w/ encounter balance lmao.
I'm probably gonna introduce one of our other players to Guardian though when I get a chance b/c it seems like it fits the fantasy of what they keep trying to do with their current character much better than what they are currently playing.

icy mulch
#

i sure do like drawing over 30 cards in one turn with a primarily green deck

alpine tangle
velvet idol
desert iron
# velvet idol what are those, I know captain is a new one

Captain is an archetype, so more like a feat line anyone can take. Commander and Guardian are entire new classes, with Commander giving allies chances to attack on the Commander's turn, while Guardian is all about running in front of hits for your allies and taunting your enemies.

Do any of you know a way to speed up writing character cheers and stat blocks? Or is it always a bit of a chore?

smoky jay
#

depends on the system, but at the very least there are often digital methods, even just for getting gear

#

but yeah it is always slow, especially for working out a characters wants and goals. again there are resources to help you along that but

Figure the GenCon haul will be appreciated here.
Some of the art and t-shirts are gifts, but for the rest I have to figure out where the hell im gonna put it in my apartment lol.

Ive been going through the heresy rules i dont honestly mind them

#

The challenge rules were a bit of a read but still interesting

turbid vine
#

I’ll be sticking with the first edition and seeing what the community comes up with for Heresy, personally. A good chunk of the rules were stuff I was looking to get away from in the more modern versions of 40K, so it’s not to my taste. Going to be making conversion sheets for my friend group to use the newer stuff, though. The new Saturnine Terminators have grown on me

subtle zinc
#

I haven't had a chance to really dig into the 3rd ed heresy rules, but for me 2nd ed heresy was a really fun game, I didn't mind it at all. It felt like you could actually do things to affect your/your opponent's army outside of your own turn, which helped deal with the big problem I had with 40k - That being, you just sort of sit and watch as the enemy kills a bunch of your models.

wet topaz
#

I am liking the status token ideas but i havent played a game yet to see how they act and tbf i run a blood angels assualt army so its not like i use a bunch of status weapons

subtle zinc
#

With the Saturnine models, I like them. not a massive amount, but they're not awful. That said, the difficult to produce/maintain aspect doesn't really hit with the World Eaters. Even at the height of the great crusade, I can't see them wanting to do delicate, detailed work to keep these suits of armour running.

#

So I'm not going to get any

wet topaz
#

Very fair

#

Ive been building a raven wing army for 40k it may also be worth a look to 30k

subtle zinc

Seeing as the last 10 are done, I've started the next batch.

And the Disintegrator guns look like good fun as well

Mortarion sucks hot ass

azure surge
#

Ok, I am gonna go on a bit of a tangent so I apoligize for it in advance

#

the GODDAMN poles that you are supposed to attach the Age Of Sigmar Morrsarr Guard to are genuenly the worst decision ever

#

For context; The Morrsarr Guard are a unit in the Idoneth Deepkin that are elves riding giant eels. Pretty cool right?

#

The issue is the connection point between the pole that is supposed to attach them to their base and the model is FLAT, so it is very easy for the model to become wonky or break off

#

As a consolation to hearing me rant here are the wip of the eels

subtle zinc
#

Yeah those flight stands are hot garbage

#

I'd honestly recommend just looking into some form of tactical rock to connect them to rather than those abominations

#

They suck for the primaris inceptors too, and I think the admech jump troops use them, too

#

What I don't get is why they're including rules for a literal god in a tactical, cqb scenario game like kill team?

wet topaz
#

i imagine it will be a shard of the night bringer and it will be toned down for kill team

#

as well certain its a boss for a co-op game

Co-op in warhammer? Next thing you tell me, you'll be saying orks can fly!

Seems to be a melt or be melted system

north sequoia
#

Isn't that the low level experience in any ttrpg?

azure surge
#

It definenitly doesn't help that crits are much more common since you just need to go 10 above the DC (or get a natural 20)

normal orbit
#

I'm finding my pathfinder character really boring

#

In fact I am just kind of bored in general

#

Its the problem with doing online games.

azure surge
#

What character are you playing?

#

as in anscestry, class etc

#

Also what did you want your character to play like?

normal orbit
#

Leshy bard

#

I was hoping I'd contribute more

#

But its just so... minimal and dull

azure surge
#

What is your bard subclass?

#

Bard's are very support and skill focused

normal orbit
#

Maestro?

azure surge
#

Ok

normal orbit
#

I'm going to bed

azure surge
#

I won't try to hold you that "it gets better later on", if you don't find PF2e appealing that is fine, maybe try talking to your GM and see if they can help you out better than I can

normal orbit
#

It might just be a case of not enjoying the class and being at this level

turbid spruce
#

Late to the issue but what are you wanting out of a class?

normal orbit
#

Fun

turbid spruce
#

What's fun for you? You looking to support,do damage,heal,doing some controlling,etc.

steep aurora
#

Usually when I decide what class to play I go for whatever backstory I have in mind and up the rp around it. Makes it a lot more fun for me when my actions can be seen as something in connection to that

visual bobcat
#

Having a p good knowledge of classes and subclasses helps a lot though

steep aurora
#

i probably spend more time looking and reading through classes and subclasses than actually playing dnd lmao

#

and ive been playing for, I think 5 years now?

visual bobcat
#

Just read up amd saw it's pathfinder damn, my knowledge is on 5e unfortunately

#

I feel the problem tho, was playing a shadow monk in a campaign and somewhere along lvl 5 I just got really bored of it, but in talking with dm we decided ok let's turn u into a druid then and reflavor the backstory a little to accommodate that which worked fine

#

And my friends barely remember I started that campaign of as a monk for the first 8 or so sessions

desert iron
#

Bard is a very strong class in PF2e, though if you don't find fun in the support aspect of it, I can see why it might not appeal. Its strength is heavily in the fact that you're always supplying that +1 to attack rolls and damage rolls (or other rolls depending on how you build), which can often convert a miss into a hit, or a hit into a crit. If it helps your mindset, whenever an ally does hit or crit thanks to your buff, you should recognize that that's damage that you contributed, even if it's dice that they're rolling.

normal orbit
#

A +1 doesn't feel good enough

#

Lack of spell slots too

alpine tangle
#

That is unfortunately the pain of early level casters

turbid spruce
#

And +1 is good but yea at lvl 1 you don't feel it as much

#

Once you get to 2 and you can fight things lower then you more, a +1 is giving more crits or more hits on higher lvls

azure surge
#

Yeah while early levels and especially lvl 1 are 'better' in PF2e than in, say, DnD 5e. There are definitely some problems that can arise such as the martial/caster strength at early levels.

#

Thankfully the disparity in power balances out after a few levels

steep aurora
#

PF sounds like such a fun system, but whenever i hear someone explain it to me im just like "I understand what you said but not in this order/context". Still wanna give it a shot some time, wonder if the video games would help

azure surge
#

the video games use the 1st edition, which is... very in depth. So idk how much help those would be.

alpine tangle
#

There is Dawnsbury Days, which is a CRPG which uses 2nd Edition

desert iron
#

The Dragon's Demand is also in the works for a 2e game, as well as Starfinder: Afterlight for Starfinder 2e

turbid spruce
#

Dawnsbury days is pretty good. It's a little cringe at times but in that good kinda cringe. It's very much meant to be a solo game that helps you kinda get into the rules. They make a few changes to the 2e system to fit a video game

i’ve had the idea for a character stuck in my mind for months now and i’ve finally gotten the opportunity to play

just standard 5e, Party is level 8 going to investigate roots of a god tree

#

was thinking of some plant zombies but cant think of anything other than they have undead fortitude

paper hinge
#

It's been a while since I cracked open my 5e book library but an Idea you could go with is to have a bunch of simple trash mob zombies (around 4-8 a group) with maybe some "Specialists" to provide some extra muscle. Think along the lines of having a Corrupted priest supporting the mass with True strike/ Cure Wounds or a hulking mass of vines acting like a barbarian.

#

Hope this helps 🙂

#

Again it's been a while since I opened my 5E collection as I've been DMing Lancer for the past year.

steep aurora
#

ohhh i like the sound of that actually

#

ohhh and i can throw in something like clickers from tlou so the party can manipulate them using sound

paper hinge

Exactly that sound like a really good way to set up some tense Stealth check and have some cool RP.

steep aurora
#

dont you love it when your brain can sometimes go in loops and over complicate everything and then one moment you have something you instantly home in on

#

Time to write up a master class encounter

#

I have that thought on occasion as well, Luckily I've been running a 3rd Party Campaign that is broad enough to allow for homebrewing but with enough lore to provide a general framework to events (If that makes sense).

#

I have dnd tonight and i had to provide 5 important memories of my girl Sage
Here are the ones i ended up with:

  1. When she was 13 and had the last talk with Cael, in a way it was her first heartbreak just not of romantic nature. He explained to her that he leaves to be with someone he loves dearly and that he wants a family with her. He promised to come visit her every season and gifted her the book he always wrote in the things he teached her about life. She has been turning to his notebook everytime she needs comfort or advice.

  2. When Sage was begging for someone to help and heal her family, promising to do and give whatever she has to, and fallon appeared in her room, offering her help in exchange for her soul and labour. To which she instantly agreed without thinking twice about it.

  3. When she hunted down a Artefakt for Fallon close to the beginning of her work for him. Curiosity got the better of her and she used the Artefakt. It caused a big fire and the people in that kingdom blamed her for it. Since then she wears her disguise, but also does not question fallon anymore.

  4. When she gave Finn the potion to forget about her, she was staying up at night, watching him sleep and crying. He woke up from the crying, sleepily asked her whats wrong. She said "i'm gonna miss you" and he said "I'm here no matter what" and then cuddled her while falling asleep again.

  5. (Kind of a continuation of number 3) When she got her first punishment from fallon for not following his instructions and rules. She had messed around with things she was not supposed to mess with and he punished her relentlessly for it. The scar on her shoulder is still a reminder of it.

#

Contex:
Cael is her brother
Fallon her patron
And Finn her first and only love so far

Alright. Quick Warning It's a LONG one.

#

Khaleela was born in 4580.u as the Second Daughter of Baron Khalfan Markesh of House Granite, a minor house of the House of Sand. During her early childhood she had been interested in the history of both the Annum Tyrannus and of the New Federation period with a particular focus on the latter. Noticing this Khalfan had a Union chronographer hired to teach his daughter the intricacies of Union history in the hopes of her becoming a skilled diplomat/ chronographer for the house. However instead of learning the early histories of Union (A subject that she termed "A bland slate of history"), the tutor taught her of the times before Union using reproductions of archived records from the Massif Vaults. She took particular interests in the writings of the ancient Philosophers Immanuel Kant, John Locke and others as well in the histories of the Ancient "Frankish Revolution" (In reality the French revolution of 1789-1799) and the "Springtime revolution" (In reality a combo of "Springtime of the peoples" and the Revolutions of 1848). These teaching left a notable mark on Khaleela as she became engrossed in understanding the philosophies of those she studied.

#

In 4596.u Khaleela caused a minor political scandal by translating some of the ancient histories of Cradle in to Karradin. This episode caused her Father to dismiss the Cradle chronographer and to place her education under a more Hagiographic and militaristic bent under the tutorship of a Kavaliere from the House of Stone. However events in Union began to filter through to the Baronies as reports of the overthrow of the Second Committee and the establishment of the Third began to become known. These events inspired her to try and seek change within her house by embracing the newly established Three Pillars and by reforming along the Ideals of Liberty and equality of all peoples, To her immense disappointment however she was meet with an unreceptive audience in court and was even mocked by her Older Sister Atiyya for believing that the ideals of a failed civilisation and an anarchic and (supposedly) weak central committee should have any place within The Concern.

#

In 4600.u things began to rapidly change as the first interest war kicked off with Karrakin pre-emptive assault on the Dawnline Shore. Whilst she had formally passed education with distinction and well versed in 3 Languages (Karradin, English and Spanish) she was seen as the black sheep of House Granite's ruling family with Atiyya Markesh becoming the Heir presumptive to the house. As a result she was ordered by her father to begin training in operating, maintaining and fighting in combat mechs. While the Standard GMS Everest class wasn't to her personal liking though she did see the potential of the Chomolungma chassis with regards to its powerful EW capabilities. As Khaleela was completing her fast tracked 9-month Mech training regimen it was expected that she would be sent off to front with Harrison armoury however events transpired that would alter the trajectory of her life massively.

#

2 months after her Mech Pilot certification, Ludra's world exploded into revolution. Khaleela whilst not knowing the core reason behind the rebellion saw an opportunity to "Claim glory" in her father's words and to remain close to Tilimsan in case politics in her native house change, formally applied to serve on the Karrakin Trunk Security to assist in reclaiming Ludra's world. Whilst the request was first meet with confused interest it was eventually approved by her father. Whilst she missed the initial landings she was part of the second wave of landings in a Electronic Warfare section tasked with interrupting any communications available to the Ungratefuls. As she set to working on silencing Ungrateful comms she rapidly began to sympathise with the plight of the rebels due to their ideals and their circumstances. She eventually managed to get in contact with the rebels under the alias of "Nuha" and began to secretly pass on sensitive information regarding Barony transponder codes and EW Techniques.

#

As time went on Khaleela began to experiment with different means of Human to mech interfacing that could allow a faster transfer of information on more secure connections to limit the chances of detection by the Baronies after a close call from Baronic Intelligence looking into unusual data traffic. Eventually she discovered a means of using an SSC supplied Neuralink, an Omninode and a IPS-N Transponder reconfigured into an encryption engine. While it was able to provide additional data securely to the Ungratefuls it wasn't without it's faults, suffering from several technical glitches (Particularly with the interactions between the Omninode and the Transponder with the transponder limiting the amount of data sent to ensure the connection was safe) as well as feeling "Shivers" and weightlessness whenever she was using it.

#

Then in 4602.u Khaleela was informed of her impending transfer to the Dawnline shore at the request of Atiyya to join her along with the newly formed House company in fighting Harrison Armoury. This was the worst case scenario as it would place her lightyears away from Tilimsan and leave her unable to assist the Ungratefuls. As a result she decided to perform one more Data transfer to the Ungratefuls but this time she would weaken the encryption to ensure more data could be sent swiftly. While this made the connection more susceptible to intercepts and detection she was willing to take it as the Baronies had recently sealed off all Off-world communication. What she didn't expect however was that something had been watching the transmissions from the Omninode and had taken an interest.

#

`Shortly after she had begun the transfer she began to feel a force tugging at the back of her mind in addition to the "Shivers" and the weightlessness but even worse than before with the Omninode itself beginning to violently vibrate and rattle on it's own accord. This feeling grew in intensity until she tried to shut off the connection, by that point she had lost her sense of touch, smell and taste and her movements were lethargic and poorly coordinated. Beginning to panic she began flailing her arms to see if she could deactivate it but to no effect. Then the Omninode exploded and tore open a rift to the blink which She and her mech were sucked into.

Whilst in Blinkspace her she lost all of her senses as she was drifting through the weightless void, feeling like her mind was being torn apart and being put back together. This sensation lasted for an unknown amount of time until she reappeared in an unknown place and a unknown time.`

#

There we go. The Entire Backstory I wrote for Khaleela "Nuha" Markesh.

#

I'm actually pretty proud of what I wrote for her. Also for some context Cradle = Earth.

I missed my groups pf2e session last week to attend the Critical Role live show and apparently they somehow got a hold of 50k gold. This feels like a lot for a lvl 5 party.

Considering where we were the previous session (a Lich's castle), I cant wait to find out tonight:

  1. Where the hell they broke into to find 50k gold
  2. How annoyed said Lich is gonna be when he finds out they stole his gold.

I heard through the grapevine from my GM that the party used Detect Magic prior to looting, detected something in the room, and then proceeded to ignore it and put everything in the Bag of Holding.
So of course I expect shenanigans.

Introduced one of the ppl in my Pathfinder 2e group to Guardian because imo it fits the playstyle they've been trying to do for their character way better than what they are currently playing. They are 100% down to try it and the GM is also down for the switch.
Unfortunately, they are the kind of person who is very busy and really doesn't think about Pathfinder at all outside of our weekly sessions. Which means finding time to actually sit down with them and help them remake the character has proven to be a struggle.
If only they were as completely normal as I am about TTRPG buildcrafting lmao.

The good news is they are at least committed to the game and we are all having fun.
My group also made the switch from 5e to pf2e w/ basically a sequel campaign to our Curse of Strahd campaign.
The 5e to pf2e conversions went surprisingly easy for all of our characters except the Satyr Lich/Warlock (long story). I could go on for a long time about the fun we had with that process.
With the one player though, its fortunately just a matter of them not having had time to sit down and yap.
I've basically already built a Guardian version of their character, but since they definitely are the least game savvy of the group, I don't want to just force a build on them. Especially since I'm just another player and not the GM.

What I find ironic is that, with how progression works, Warlock is also the closest to classes in pathfinder. With the fact that you choose which additional invocations(feats) you want each level or so.

turbid spruce
#

But nothing that covers both

alpine tangle
#

Yeah.
Witch has vibes, but for Playstyle you could go Psychic, Kineticist, and that's just off the dome

azure surge
#

Thankfully with free archetype or other optional rules it is a bit easier to make a warlock

turbid spruce
#

Free archetype helps but as much as I like it, I do try to avoid using it to much when teaching cause not every gm will use it. Its the 5e feats issue. Optional rule alot of GMs use but not everyone uses it

azure surge
#

No yeah I agree I think free archetype actually hinders builds sometimes because people 'have' to find an archetype that fits with the idea of their character

turbid spruce
#

I'm in the camp that free archetype variant rule in its normal use in home games tends to make characters a bit stronger then normally intended. Its the thematical free archetype that is now fair ie pirate campaign? Only pirate archetypes

fervent hollow
#

Free Archetype ended up being very useful for converting our characters from 5e. Especially for the 2 characters in our party that got turned into Undead by the end of the Curse of Strahd campaign we are currently running the sequel of.

One of the Members of the Party I DM has the Callsign of "Detroit" (Mainly cause of the "You can't have Shit in Detroit" meme), He's VERY fond of Improvised Explosive Devices (Though he would thoroughly disagree with the "Improvised" Moniker) and likes to Play "Hopscotch" with the enemy (Which generally involves the enemy trying (and failing) to avoid the literal sea of mines). One notorious event was the party encountering one of the BBEGs in a neutral city. They struck up a conversation about Philosophy and the morals of ending the universe, during the conversation the Trolley Problem was mentioned and that the suffering of the few is needed to ensure the creation of paradise (By Blowing up the universe). On hearing this Detroit agreed, Grabbed the BBEG by the throat with his prosthetic arm and triggered the directed explosive charge concealed within. Needless to say they were expelled from the city.

The enemy ghouls locked my kholo animist behind a wall of stone cause they thought she was a cleric of gyronna.

Classic im not locked in here with you moment

turbid spruce

Partly that but also showing to the party since I joined the game later on that my character isn't an animist that is pure buddy buddy with her spirits

So they influence her mind depending on the spirit

Quick update on the player I introduced to the pf2e Guardian a couple weeks ago:
He is in love with the "Get down Mr President!" playstyle.
In our previous session he took 60+ damage without being targeted by an attack during a nighttime ambush.

now that's a good tank, that's 60+ damage not on your healer, dps, or other tank

I have a Guardian who is of large ancestry, we have only had one combat so far but they quickly realized the downside of being Large is that it is much harder to position yourself

since you are doing 2 other pf2e games then run Lancer as a bit of a pallet cleanser

Tanuki Charlatan exemplar who stubbled his way into getting a spark of power. Very much a fake till you make it character who while he did make it,he still has no fucking clue what he's doing.

Be it the weapon is wrong since heroforge had no way to get a filcher's fork as a weapon

It's just a big ass fork that can be thrown,since his main Ikon as an examplar is shadow sheath so he's just yeeting forks at people from 40ft away

Hard Yes! It's super cool. The player rules are free for everyone but as Progresso has said the GM rules you do need to purchase.

I am spoilt for choice for clerics

visual bobcat
#

does the battle master have unarmed strike dice damage?

normal orbit
#

Its a fighting style

#

Like I can pick fists or +1 to my armour class

#

That type of thing at level 1 if I recall

visual bobcat
#

Unarmed Fighting (TCE). Your unarmed strikes can deal bludgeoning damage equal to 1d6 + your Strength modifier on a hit. If you aren't wielding any weapons or a shield when you make the attack roll, the d6 becomes a d8.

#

that's just better monk wtf

normal orbit
#

To start off at yes

#

But with monk it scales to d10

#

Very late though

visual bobcat
#

yeah

#

most parties never reach that

normal orbit
#

And gets magic punches at 5th

visual bobcat
#

ill say, I thoroughly enjoyed ana aberation sorcerer I palyed, I used the Sorcery Points alternative rules tho

normal orbit
#

Alt rules?

visual bobcat
#

yup

#

in the DMs guide

#

spell points*

#

but they are perfect to mix with sorcery points

#

much more that creative feeling a sorcerer is supposed to have imo

#

creative metamagic

normal orbit
#

I've not heard of spell points

#

That a 5.5 thing?

visual bobcat
#

nope

#

I know jack shit about 5.5

normal orbit
#

Same

visual bobcat
#

here, it's 5e DMG

normal orbit
#

Interesting

#

I don't know if i care for warlock tbh

#

Aside from hexblade

#

I've tried but its just so bleh

visual bobcat
#

also a note on a Giff Unarmed figther, you can't use the Astral Spark Giff Feature with unarmed strikes technically

visual bobcat
#

I wouldn't suggest playing a warlock then grin

normal orbit
#

True but a hippo person that's like this guy speaks to me

#

I hear the giant barbarian is fun

#

I could also go for an ancestral guardian barb

#

Dad bod gemstone dragonborn thats trying to rediscover his life's worth after his wife left him

#

I also really want a centaur that has spider climb because that would be terrifying

icy mulch
#

am i weird for thinking this looks sick as fuck?

turbid spruce
#

Might open up my potential lancer game since seems some of my friends might not want to play it.

#

Yea,just trying to figure out what day works for a few people before I drop the link to the form here

normal orbit
#

What TZ are you in?

turbid spruce
#

EST

#

Leaning towards sundays or wensdays due to me being off those days but if there is a enough people that want to play after my day at work then I'd run then.

turbid spruce
#

Going to drop the link to the sign up form for my lancer game here.

i dont remember

does your email show when you sign a form?

Let me check

#

It doesn't look it

#

Those interested in it. Zactact has a good video on the side of lancer that'll be big in either campaign idea

#

Hi hello, and welcome to the Karrakin Trade Baronies. THE industrialists of the galaxy with generations of advancement, sci-fi tech, mechs, and inherited planets. Within the ancient history of the KTB we've got a 7000 head start history wise compared to Union, with some noble lines able to trace their lineage all the way back to the initial warl...

#

Decided i will drop out of the game i'm in for many many reasons but the two big ones are i dont feel my character and i dont like the groups playstyle

turbid spruce
#

Both are valid reasons

stoic lintel
#

They are very following the rules 100% of the time and i just feel like it takes away a lot of what the campaign could be

turbid spruce
#

Fair fair

turbid spruce
#

I will add for my lancer game no experience needed. I'll be teaching people how to play. So if you want to see a different side of the lancer world while piloting mechs i got room

normal orbit
#

I think i might have an idea

#

But as to what type of bars I am unsure

#

A chef bard

turbid spruce
#

Going to give it a few more days before I invite people to my lancer game discord. Letting a few more people sign up.

turbid spruce
#

Eastern standard time

#

Im tempted to join

icy mulch
#

probably not gonna be able to join then

turbid spruce
blazing vigil
#

Actually, looking at this form rn, what is this all about?

turbid spruce
#

Lancer campaign. I use the form to ask questions and see what times and ideas people like/want

blazing vigil
#

Whats a Lancer campaign?

turbid spruce
#

Lancer is a ttrpg focused on mechs

blazing vigil
#

Ah

#

What kind of mechs?

turbid spruce
#

Alot of different ones. I'm at work so can't easily describe them all

turbid spruce
#

High tech anime inspired

#

The military industrial complex

#

Or the ever strange horus

turbid spruce
#

Finally home from work. Can yap more. Yea lancer is a mech TTRPG focused on players being Lancers (In one of the campaign ideas I have they are also called Cavealers due to KTB being weird),which is a term for an elite pilot. Most people can pilot mechs but a lancer (or their other names) are talented at the piloting,building their mechs,and being in a flow state that other regular pilots might not get. Setting as a whole takes place in the far flung future after earth society collapsed and rebuilt itself as union. Current time in the setting is 5016u (they reset the calender when union was created), and the union is ran by the 3rd commitee who want to bring upon a post scarcity untopia. It's a hopeful setting as in most campaigns you are part of union trying to help people have a better life usually.

#

The campaign that people seem to be leaning towards,takes place in one of the client states of the union. The karrakin trade baronies,which is a client state that has a big focus on noble houses. Very elden ring,dune,etc inspired stuff.

#

The Karrakin trade baronies or KTB is the oldest human civilization in history and it's home world is the most population dense planet. With the palace on that planet being 4million square miles and that's not including the city surronding the palace.

#

The mechs themselves are cold fusion powered mechs that have differnt ideas. Some are simple mechs that like to be big armor and carry a minigun. Others walking nanite swarms or a mech that is built to carry a ship based weapon on it.

turbid spruce
#

Probably big from an TTRPG stand point is lancer is a bit combat heavy as a game and the fights in the game aren't usually just kill the enemies. Most fights have an objective like hold points,escort something,etc.

#

So it can come out to be a bit wargamey

wet topaz
#

Wouldn't that be DM dependent by the sounds like if it's an objective base the DM could play it out say hold/defend said infrastructure for the local group so you can establish and set up connections to the place. Say the night/day before you go scout the place and interact with some locals

#

Although I do get it's a mecha ttrpg so combat would be the priority.

turbid spruce
normal orbit
#

So i have narrowed open my options for my character for my new group

Charisma caster

normal orbit
#

Bard or sorcerer

visual bobcat
#

warlock

normal orbit
#

Nah

#

Warlock is boring

visual bobcat
#

then "Charisma caster" is too broad of a designation

normal orbit
#

Which is why I followed up on sorcerer or bard

feral tangle
#

What dice system does lancer use?

#

Is that the word? Dice system?

normal orbit
#

Possibly?

feral tangle
#

I keep hearing people talk about lancer and now I'm curious

#

Although I never a ttrpg before but DND is the first one that I'm going to be playing because I have a session 0 Wednesday

turbid spruce
#

Which is basically adding a d6 or subtracting a d6 to a d20.

#

So 1 accuracy is you add a d6. 2 accuracy roll 2 d6s pick the highest.

turbid spruce
#

Everything else is small flat bonuses. Lancer numbers are pretty low

feral tangle
#

Okay

turbid spruce
#

Found an art piece for when I get to be a lancer player instead of a gm

turbid spruce
#

Yep my favorite frame the calendula aka spooky Dave

paper hinge
#

Especially in Retrograde foundry. They always seem to be GOATed.

turbid spruce
#

I mean I'm a top tier subscriber for retrograde so I let my players pick and choice things

normal orbit
#

Ah fuck i might be making an eloquence bard

#

Not because I want to but because I am making an anthropologist

#

That or lore

#

Lore can work too

#

Lore bard it is

#

I rolled for it

turbid spruce
#

Posting this again just incase someone missed. I'm looking for playhers for a lancer campaign. The form is just to get info like what times are good,no go topics,etc

https://forms.gle/HPJabts6vsf6BLvw9

turbid spruce
#

Still looking for people for my lancer game. No experience in the system needed. Looks like we are leaning towards Sunday afternoon eastern standard time

umbral scroll
turbid spruce
#

3 that good for Sunday. One that is kinda a maybe. He's flacky on Sundays

turbid spruce
#

I can run with 3 but I like 4 to 5 PCs since it gives more breathing room for builds and roles

normal orbit
#

I might have more of an idea for a hexblood hexblade now

#

I get a feeling of their character more than the bard I've made

normal orbit
#

I am just stuck trying to think of what their weapon would be

normal orbit
#

And their name

normal orbit
#

Yhor'Rha-Guul

#

Nah Yhor'rha Guul

turbid spruce
#

Another application for my lancer game but its Wednesday

normal orbit
#

So i am making their background feylost, they're the son of high standing courtier (mother) and a handservant (father) of two fey courts. He was deeply loved by his parents but under orders of the court of autumn to go into hiding as his father is of a lower class than his mother which was considered highly offensive to the Court of Summer.

He took the name of Yhor'rha Guul and the bestowal of a 4 ringed sword and was transformed into a hexblood in order to hide his heritage further. He spent many years wandering alone in the feywild as a teen only to somehow find his way into the material plane.

turbid spruce
#

So I got one more spot left for a Sunday lancer game in Eastern Standard time around 12pm or 1pm

normal orbit
#

So a spare character i have has 69 max hp

feral tangle
#

Nice

normal orbit
#

Also they're from very powerful family called the Weavers. They are called that due to their fantastical affinity for magic and their textiles trade.

Sterling is gifted in weaving textiles but just punches shit instead

turbid spruce
#

Oh nice a really good lancer youtuber posted the next license video

#

Thank you,Big Sal

normal orbit
#

I might of thought of a greater idea for my hexblood warlock.

They're an orphan that was abducted by a hag to make another (i won't go into the lore of that as its messed up how hags are made), said had was cut down by an archfey, adopted by them and their partner. A rival archfey court said it is improper for high lords of the court to adopt strays so he left to explore the feywild by himself.

turbid spruce

Another annoying post from me but still got room for a person or two for a sunday afternoon (eastern standard time) lancer game. No experience with the system needed. https://forms.gle/2uy45KGuxuhfTp4v9

Talking about monster hunting

#

Been playing in a dnd game for the first time in years starting about a month or 2 ago

#

And its got me itching to really doce back into dnd and I kinda want ro run some of the one shots

#

From my helianas guide to monster hunting book

wraith marsh
#

The Game im in is based off of a Series
Somnus Domina with a LOT of homebrew stuff

carmine frost
#

My current game im playing in

#

I think might be the stormwrecke isle starter adventure with some changes and smidgen of hoembrew stuff thrown in

wraith marsh
#

my party in my dnd strixhaven game named themselves "The Cuddle Club"

normal orbit
#

My dnd party met The Gardener

visual bobcat
normal orbit
#

Dnd 5e

#

From quests of the infinite staircase

#

The gardener is a CR 20 archfey

#

And one of the members got bored and forgot that we weren't supposed to eat or take anything in the feywild

#

They ate a fish

#

And now have been cursed to have pacification

#

So if they deal damage to anything they take a point of exhaustion

#

That's permanent in this fey realm

#

But if we leave the debuff goes too

#

Also a day in the realm is a year outside in the material realm

Yep

First campaign finished after 4 years, never running a game that long again lol

blazing vigil

#

first year had us only doing one game a month, and during the last year we've had a lot of family gatherings on game day

#

epilogues occured on session 69

#

One character became a god and a disaster gay with another partymember, one character became an archfey and a disaster lesbian with her boss, and the others made legacies for themselves and the group

carmine frost
#

i've only played in like 2 campaigns total but my longest one, which was also the first, was 1 year long meeting almost weekly

#

it helped we all worked at the same country club together

Also dont let a NHP cascade while in possession of a reality bending mech (that is basically unit 13)

Had a very fun Pathfinder session last night.
Turns out a Holy Champion with Void Healing who happens to not cast a shadow is VERY effective at fighting Shadows

turbid spruce
# wraith marsh This gun does not exist.

See, right now, this weapon technically doesn’t even exist. You’re shooting them with a gun that isn’t real, and yet it is! Don’t worry about it. RA’s like that. Just, here, know that because it exists at some point, we’ve made it. That’s causality, and causality is a funny thing.

Happy ultrakill gave me visual ideas for metavaults

wraith marsh
#

Me, looking at my level 4 adventurers in a free-built homebrew strixhaven campaign:

“mmm… I think they’re ready for a hydra.”

visual bobcat
#

Sure they are

normal orbit
#

So

#

My entire party got wishes

#

That's 7 wishes

visual bobcat
#

w-why

normal orbit
#

Because we went to a place that did that

#

It was a reward for entering a certain module area

#

Beyond the Crystal Cave

#

I won't say anymore

#

In case you ever play this module in the Quests from the infinite staircase book

chat i found my favorite homebrew chassis for lancer
The IPSN Fitzgerald, an Artillery/Striker based on fucking cannons from The Sixth Voice.

#

This chassis is literally the equivalent of “Buy a Musket for Home Defense”.

I cant

#

No worse than Yozora

So for more context

She may have also ripped holes across time and space

currently i’m in the making of a Calendula Pilot,

Spooky Dave is in my top 3 favorite mechs

Not my art but a token I want to use when I play spooky Dave again

The shadowy stuff is how I tie in void husk. They are shadow versions of people half out of the ground. And those creatures pull people into the shadows when they are forced intangible as they go into the firmament
