Hi chat. Play RPGs other than D&D 5e :)
I think it might be THAC0...
Just your standard pokémon catch rates calculations nothing to worry about
Are tabletop war games included
Yeeeee

i need to play lancer with friends at some point
Is Lancer the mech ttrpg?
yea
Might as well post my Warhammer 40K models then + bonus Armored Core 6 model kits
Lancer is such a fun system
Gale Speaks Truth
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
Here for warhammers, but go to the gunpla thread for gunplas
Noted!
question is it okay if i talk about magic the gathering in this channel? or is that off topic
it’s probably related enough
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
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
the power creep is not hard to spot in edge of eternities
yea
honestly i could have shoved famished worldsire into one of the precons and it would have just made it powerful
it’s more of a power sprint at this point
i also made a really anoying deck based on rolling dice as mr house
get the landfall funny damage guys for your commander
like what do you mean i get to cheat out etali with haste for three mana?
for an online thing i dont own mr house or the cards irl
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
i got this guy as my commander i also drew sammy in my first pack
Did you know sami is they/them
does anyone wanna see my gambling deck tho, i am kinda proud of it
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
my first pack of aetherdrift did have me ending up with loot hte pathfinder
my very first card i ever drafted was ugin eye of the storm
https://archidekt.com/decks/14978792/me_the_skullcracker
made a first draft of this deck
should I add more evolve creatures?
ARMORED CORE MENTIONED
I feel like I might still need more consistent card draw to make Me, the Immortal work
I’ve been looking at Kings of War as it’s basically just a cheaper Warhammer Fantasy, anyone know stuff about it?
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
Oh shit Critical Role announced campaign 4
oh cool another 500 hour campaign i’m never gonna have the time to listen to
Apparently they are gonna have Brennan Lee Mulligan DM this one
Oh no
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
Still super WIP but we out here eating worlds and definitely not turning our backs on the Imperium no sir.
I believe it was made as a response to WHFB getting shut down
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 like those red Jumpacks you gave them, gives them a nice extra color for the Mk VI’s!
I bought the new pf2e Battlecry book at GenCon.
The Commander and Guardian classes they added are super neat.
Commander is my new favorite class
As a big fan of playing party tactician, I love all the abilities and flavor
https://moxfield.com/decks/JIsoeDEDWkygxNqeJH7MuQ my silly mr house deck i made for a game of magic that never happened
anything that can do boardwipes do kill the momentum of this deck
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.
i sure do like drawing over 30 cards in one turn with a primarily green deck
Commander is So Good! And Guardian is Everything I Want in a tank.
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?
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.
Not shown is the shitload of fancy tote bags I got everytime I bought something
magic can be fun sometimes
emphasis on sometimes
Just finished painting these jumpy jumpy hack and slashy boys
I love the way those fellows look! Been working on transferring my Blood Angels stuff over to heresy myself lately
it can also be "i want to kill everyone in this room" annoying sometimes
Ive been going through the heresy rules i dont honestly mind them
The challenge rules were a bit of a read but still interesting
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
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.
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
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
Very fair
Ive been building a raven wing army for 40k it may also be worth a look to 30k
Seeing as the last 10 are done, I've started the next batch.
I like those long barrels on the bolters! Are they recon marines, I take it?
And the Disintegrator guns look like good fun as well
Been trying to get some new Custodes units ready for the 10th edition Crusade games my friends and I have started running the past month. Managed to get this Caladius done up over the span of about 3 days between juggling a number of other units and projects
learning the lancer starship wargame and. the best description of mechs in space combat i think that i have seen
Yeah that's that plan. Or Seekers, as they're pretty neat too. Maybe not very World Eaters, but I think they'd like the explosions of blood as they pop heads, at least.
that pink/purple is such a cool colour transition!
Thank you! It was my first time trying it at such a size and trying stippling, very happy with the results
currently making a Fire Lord Zuko commander deck
whether or not you like the Universes Beyond stuff, you gotta admit they're really good at incorporating the lore into the effect
the option to pay 5 life as if you redirected it improperly is just 
also
Perfect
not always
Mortarion sucks hot ass
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
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
The flight stands are awful most peoplr model them on the ground or use differnt stands
I'm tempted, I'll probably be able to figure something out. It's really annoying though
I play ko and honestly have used metal rods to hold up my boats
It would be a simple fix if there was a peg hole
I might be a little late here, but yeah the GW flight stands for what seems like 90% of their kits are fucking hot garbage lmao
get a pin vise hand drill and make the holes you need
honestly a pin vise is one of those hobby tools that nobody should be without
Redesign for the Nightbringer model got leaked and holy shit he actually looks good now 
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/631715379151896576/1405564153770414201/new-nightbringer-fake-or-v0-ys5aenedkzif1.png?ex=689f4920&is=689df7a0&hm=851fb5b0a9cfb55ae4db8fdfccd5ee4f9ee5fee331c124e33034ef486d53988a&
wish I had the image in English but this is the only one I could find 
All GW needs to do now is refresh the Deciver and Trazyn models 
If they do a refresh of Trazyn there’s a 90% chance I start up a necrons force of Nihilakh dynasty lmao
The position of those scarabs in the picture absolutely make me thing of the “Woe, plague be upon ye” meme

Saw this coming but they officially revealed it now cause of the leak
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DNV_7GhJWtu/
Now, where is the Space Marine's complimentary model reveal?
Think that Night Lords are getting another kill team so there you go
As long as its not loyalists I am satisfied
wym AGAIN
This has happened a few times to me
Anywho i have completed some bikes
Im still terrible with photos
I mean we are getting new Sororitas models with that kill team box too.
So loyalist, but not space marines at least.
What I don't get is why they're including rules for a literal god in a tactical, cqb scenario game like kill team?
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!
(I'm aware that KT has co-op and even single player game modes, I just thought it wasn't really played much, generally speaking)
Decided to get all my finished* World Eaters out for a photo.
||*The sicaran isn't quite done yet but it's not far off||
Love it!!
Finished it, and gave it the lightbox treatment
Love the weathering on the tracks
as a dm i appreciate the commitment
Isn't that the low level experience in any ttrpg?
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)
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.
What character are you playing?
as in anscestry, class etc
Also what did you want your character to play like?
Maestro?
Ok
I'm going to bed
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
It might just be a case of not enjoying the class and being at this level
Late to the issue but what are you wanting out of a class?
Fun
What's fun for you? You looking to support,do damage,heal,doing some controlling,etc.
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
Same, and also what role i wanna play in the party. Do I feel like I wanna be a tank character, scouting, Control, skill monkey etc
Having a p good knowledge of classes and subclasses helps a lot though
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?
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
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.
That is unfortunately the pain of early level casters
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
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
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
the video games use the 1st edition, which is... very in depth. So idk how much help those would be.
There is Dawnsbury Days, which is a CRPG which uses 2nd Edition
The Dragon's Demand is also in the works for a 2e game, as well as Starfinder: Afterlight for Starfinder 2e
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
the game has not even begun yet but i already love my little goober
Chat im hosting a session tomorrow and i cant think of any trash mobs to throw into the dungeon the party is going into
halp
First of all what system are you using?
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
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.
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
Exactly that sound like a really good way to set up some tense Stealth check and have some cool RP.
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).
ohh yeah, my group often does the same. It just makes it more fun to build characters that way imo
i got a resin printer today, so that means i gotta print myself an ork army right?
Awesome to hear! What model of resin printer, if I may ask?
saturn ultra
Hot damn!! Nice!
sounds very cool
i want to learn 3d printing at some point in time hoping it can be not only helpful for my plastic addiction but also for my fire fighting
although i need to use specialized stuff for that stuff
We made sure they will be a greenskin
Love it!
its printed and assembled now (just waiting for the super glue to set)
I’ve got a Saturn 2 from like 2 years ago or so myself. Amazing tool and helps so much for my Heresy marines, although the build plate has been stubborn with getting things to adhere to it I’ve been noticing lol
ork is printed and just prepped 2 other things to be printed whenever the sun somes up
I have to figure out 5 important memories that define my character until next session which is wednesday
Help
Okay i only need 2 more i can reuse 2 from the last time my dm needed memories and am allowed to take her making her pact with her patron as one
early memory of parents or caretakers, interaction with a childhood friend (whether recent or no), a stranger’s kindness, a significant move in their past, relationship with kin?
I have so far the moment my characters brother left to be with his (now ex) wife and gifted her a book with advice for life, her patron pact and when her patron made her erase her first loves memory while she decided to keep hers.
I was thinking about the time she accidently burned down a village and got punished by her patron as the 4th memory
god damn
Yeah she did not have a good time before joining the party
Having a laugh at missing a reveal during my game last night due to falling asleep midgame
I play with mostly Americans, so as the European I have to stay up very late to play
So around 4am, I drift off and completely miss out on one of the party members coming across who could be my characters dad
and I have to find out the day after watching the session back
bases for hte orks are being printed
Been making hills for my local tabletop wargaming scene out in my garage the past few weeks, these are just some of them lol
they failed and now im just thinking of giving in and paying for hte gw bases
im sure there are plenty of cheaper alternatives online
i printed 3 bases for the orks this time with medium supports instead of light and it worked but i already glued my 1 assembled farmer ork to a failed filament base that has a slight slope
I have dnd tonight and i had to provide 5 important memories of my girl Sage
Here are the ones i ended up with:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
(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
This a Character your Playing or someone in your group's PC? Just curious.
Sage is the character i'm playing
Neat! Always like reading the Backgrounds that people make for their characters.
Mind if I share one of my Character Backgrounds? Got a couple stored away. Mainly for lancer (I got a bit of a Hyper fixation for it).
Yes!
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.
Ohh really cool
Well turns out we are being thrown into each others memories
I was speedrunning the one i was thrown into
Glad you Like it 🙂
happy orktober btw for all those to partake
Cannot believe my DM threw a npc at my character in a memory that i could get behind shipping her with
But knowing our party that npc is probably dead
I cannot believe she tricked in my characters memory another players character into making a pact with my patron. Insane DM play
fb marketboard prices once again 20 times cheaper than gw prices
you could also just use waha
yes but physical media
fair enough
honestly with the FAQs and everything i think most of my 9th ed codexs are just art and story books at this point as i havent played since the rotation to 10
I would love physical rulebooks if there wasn't the issues of:
- Cost (holy moly)
- Rules changes after it comes out making the rulebook's well... rules... null and void
- If there wasn't such a long wait time between rulebooks for factions to the point that some receive theirs on the last year of an edition
why couldnt they instead of releasing all the rulebooks slowly have them release at one time with the start of the edition and not wait till the end
Because that would actually earn them good rep
No offense to gw, but they often make choices that are detrimental to their brands
like the grey knights where they made their point cost cheaper when they were already aparently really good
Or snubbing Drukhari whilst right after announcing a bunch of new models and collection boxes for Space Marines
wasnt there one guy who fucked over basically all chapters of space marines because they liked one specific chapter or some shit
also saw this on fb marketplace
the prices are aud
Honestly DE getting mismanaged by gw is just common place. Most DE players have prepared for the whole "we are retiring dark eldar" or something post. Since DE is that small faction player base wise but they tend to buy the entire line
my dumbass brain thought you meant DE as in digital extremes and not Dark eldar
Same
My brain just thought
Deutschland? Is this about german players?
Been playing that faction since 4th edition so used to calling them dark eldar
Stopped playing it cause local communities in NA are tournament heavy which im not big on that mind set. Winning is nice but If I'm not having fun its not worth it
the realisation that with the people I run a game for nearing the end, probably only a few sessions left. Will likely be finished in November
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:
- Where the hell they broke into to find 50k gold
- How annoyed said Lich is gonna be when he finds out they stole his gold.
Lol. It was the Jester/Fjord Wedding show. Very good time.
More then alot. Way over party wealth recommendations
I remember I once gave my party like 10k Gold and they donated most of it since "We have no clue what we could even use it on"
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.
Unfortunately I'm the one who carries the Bag of Holding lmao.
printed out a chaos knight
My dog
it took too much hot glue to put the non powerfist arm on aswell as superglue
only like 3 parts of this were from the same person
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.
was making another dog and one of hte arms failed, we did have a powercut for a second tho so that might have been the cause
I know the pain. One of my friend groups i used to play in (got bored of 5e) only plays 5e. Mainly cause 2 people refuse to learn other systems, I totally not tried to convert the others to pf2e by making pf2e versions of thier characters
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.
Warlock is one of the 5e classes that's harder to convert. Since thematically you have witch but it doesn't match mechanically
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.
Its what makes it so hard compared to other 5e classes. We have a class that fits the themes and a few classes that are akin to it mechanically (cause paizo won't let full spells be refreshed on a 10 minute rest)
But nothing that covers both
Yeah.
Witch has vibes, but for Playstyle you could go Psychic, Kineticist, and that's just off the dome
Thankfully with free archetype or other optional rules it is a bit easier to make a warlock
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
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
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
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.
I am making a map for a friend and I’s world!
Would anyone wish to observe the map in its early stages 👁️👁️
oh no, oh dear, i appear to have splurged
YEAHHH
Its so much fun
now i just have to hope to god that my group is even slightly interested
miguel lopez's noncompete with wotc also apparently ended recently, so we may be getting more first-party stuff someday soonish
SPEAKING OF
why does sisyphus talk like a dark souls npc?
I might get comm work of my go to lancer PC. Ex karrakin noble turned doj/hr agent
Got pissed about the trade baronies after the free Sanjack revolution so now fights for peoples rights
what licences they got?
Welcome fellow lancer! If your looking for some great meme licences the Goblin is a Great one to pick. Literally Shitpost your enemies to death.
Tokugawa is also a great one. Its has actual Lightsabres for weapons in the licence.
The pilot is kinda seperate from their licenses cause I've played them in multiple different games
Most recent one was them using a calendula with some mourning cloak
My current Lancer Pilot is essentially playing a giant fighter jet by combining Viceroy with ace and other flying systems
Usually they run some kind of Karakkin owned mech that's painted with union DOJ/HR colors with the ungrateful colors somewhere on the mech
Like I played them as a more support character with the flying shrimp
im finally considering learning another ttrpg system other than did
and its because of warframe
Pathfinder?
No wait Starfinder (which is just space pathfinder)
Starfinder 2e is nice
Chat im playing in a 5e oneshot, and the rolled stats are 11, 13, 13, 13, 14, 14
What do we think about a lvl 5 pc that's just 5 lvl 1 multiclasses
Specifically either a
Barbarian, Rogue, Fighter, Paladin, Bard
Or
Paladin, Bard, Cleric (life), Sorcerer (clockwork), Warlock (cestial)
you're on your way to being Abserd
If I can get commission of my go lancer pilot it'll be of my favorite rp scene. The other players got to tonal whiplash with the super nice ex noble twink
Mission 1 the guy was super nice and caring while we got info on the possibly corrupt colony governor. Cooked breakfast and helped a little girl fix her teddy bear
Once we got enough info party got to watch the twink go into DOJ/HR agent mode. We rolled up to the governor main city on the colony. My agent just got onto the enemies cominaction
"This is an agent of the DOJ/HR, this is your first and only warning. Release your workers and shut down the flash cloning facilities. You have one hour to comply. If shown hostility or refuse to comply,we shall raise this to a CAM. You will not be arrested, you will be executed and your assets will be either destroyed or taken from and used to help those you hurt."
All in an a cold serious manner
It was at that moment the party realized why my pilots calendula was named the guillotine
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.
Debating if I want to get back into 40k
Next session of my blood lords pf2e game is today. Time for the old lady kholo to be a problem
Oh sweet, I am doing the beginnings of preperations for running Season of Ghosts, which from what I have read looks really good
Yea we are clearing out a ghoul infested building. The enemies aren't used to the healer being swole
Oh? What class?
Animist
Only person stronger then my kholo is our fighter
Making use of that medium armor training to not need to max out dex
Love Animist. Best class
He can't be stopped
Paladin 1, Cleric (life) 1, Warlock (celestial) 1, Sorcerer (aberration mind) 1, Bard 1
He has 15 cantrips and 15 1st level spells
Great news: finally managed to sit down with the other player and rebuild their character as a Guardian. My Champion is no longer the only Front Liner or Martial!
First session with the rebuild is tonight so looking forward to see how that goes.
Hell yeh
The enemy ghouls locked my kholo animist behind a wall of stone cause they thought she was a cleric of gyronna.
The antipaladins wanted to gank the healer. Only for the healer to start having the sounds of a war fill the air around her while vitality energy drooled from her mouth. They quickly realized they fucked up.
Classic im not locked in here with you moment
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
The campaign is in geb so the spirits in an undead and evil nation aren't probably all there
So they influence her mind depending on the spirit
i don't know if its the game itself or the party i play with but i am super fucking bored playing pathfinder
also i keep getting talked over
there's no consideration for people talking and just talk over each other
It sounds like it may be the other players if you can't give input on a situation by being talked over
Yeah that sounds like a group issue
dm is boring me too
how is the DM boring?
combat
not enough rp
also he's using a voice mod which really feels like an ai attempting to talk like a human
i think i just need to not bother with online games i just don't find a group i get on with
I mean have you talked about the GM about it being to much combat? Or you're not to keen on the voice mod?
we are talking friday
problem is its a therapy session
might talk about my previous groups to figure out if i have something in my character that causes the issues
So, dnd 2024 PHB, good Christmas present or not? Its for my brother who uses 5e.
ask which version of 5e he uses (2024 or og) and make sure he doesnt have it, the books will always be appreciated by every player
that, I have friends who don't like 2024 and don't play that version
if he likes critical role Daggerheart might be a fun present
2014
I'd also second the possibility of Daggerheart
if you know if he's planning to play as a player or a dm, you can adjust to that
Welp might start hunting for lancer players
Lancer you say?
I am curious but have no models
Running any specific campaigns or Homebrew?
Homebrew
Its a ttrpg no minies needed
Homebrew campaign on the karrakin trade baronies. Party gets to build a noble house to be apart of or go ungrateful if they want to
As in rules? Player facing rules be free
I see
Character creator and stuff is free to use also
Neato
Be it rule has some damn good art by the main artist Tom bloom and other artists
A digital toolset for the LANCER TTRPG by Massif Press. Create characters and track them in combat, or run games with the GM toolkit.
these be all a player needs
And all player options from supplements are free
Nice
If you're EU based i would be glad to learn the system if you are after players
lowkey same
Honestly not even sure WHAT time I'll play on saturdays since i'm off that day and I'm NA east coast
Beans
Its more i gotta figure out what's good for people i bring in

am i not cisgender?
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
Some of the more modern APs for pf2 are better built for large ancestries
Yeah it is a Season of Ghosts campaign so it should be fine
Especially since many of the party members are gonna go wacky with their movement speed (monk and laughing shadow magus)
Table I'm gaming on today
hi, not sure if anyone uses this channel but i have an idea for a character for dnd. ive traditionally just used 2014 5e, could anyone tell me if its worth using the latest version?
honestly i would just consult with the dm to see what your using
^
Fair
ask the dm for sure if you have one. i know that 2014 rules work with the new version
Yeah most ppl don’t seem to mind
Admittedly I was just making a character for the hell of it cuz I got inspired, but i could try and find a game online
All the ones I’ve played in have fizzled out but who knows, maybe this time will be different lol
its very refreshing to see a decently well known ttrpg book use the word fuck
Which one is that?
ttrpg: Lancer. source book: Karrakin Trade Baronies. Developer: SSC. License: White Witch. in descriptor of: Sympathetic Shield system. sentence: So with some tuning and, regrettably, input from Visual, we figured out how to define the White Witch: as the most terrifying, alien thing you’ve ever fucking seen. word: Fucking.
Ah, the Ferrofluid Mech. Just don’t ask what happened to the original testing team.
In general the mechs from the ktb field guide are great to read
Had to update my foundry so my pf2e players can use new stuff. Now I'm torn if I want to run a lancer game still (since it requires me to use command menu stuff on my PC to run a seperate foundry app) or just run a pf2e/sf2e game.
I don't have time or the mental bandwith to run a lancer game AND a pf2e/sf2e game along side the 2 other pf2e games I'm running
oh yeah then no
since you are doing 2 other pf2e games then run Lancer as a bit of a pallet cleanser
Issue for lancer is the fact I need to do CMD stuff to get it running.
Which is a pain.
Since how the people who made foundry is set up you can just click and easily install 2 different instances of foundry.
Be it if I do sf2e stuff,gotta think of a plot. I got a homebrew setting I used to use but not sure of any plot in my head.
First of a few models for my Christmas model exchange idk why my friend decided to paint thousand sons in a emporers children scheme though
May have been for a homebrew war band is my only guess
Eh it's fine just as I say it's a little bright for me
Heck yea. Gm for my pf2e blood lords game might approve me picking up mortal herald on my animist. Time to start doing my divine duty to expose hypocrisies (real or imagined)
Old ass kholo women about to be spreading misinformation
Helll yeh
Welp got my secondary character if I get into this 7 dooms game. If they don't need another melee but a ranged I got a silly tanuki with 40ft throwing forks as weapons
Heroforge token for my tanuki if I get into this 7dooms game
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
Time to work on more of my mythic campaign
Well figured out a funny way to introduce this PC if I get accepted into this 7 dooms game. Party is mid dungeon so I'm about to pull a sam reich
Tanuki examplar was an umbrella put on a PC's backpack cause the parties ally back in town saw my character drunk and as an umbrella to avoid paying his tab at the bar. So the combat the party just started is what wakes up the drunken examplar
Good 
And that was just for creator character lol
characters take a short/long rest in a dungeon, Sam Reich shows up so they have to earn it if they havent done enough to do so
They open their bag to get food, just see his face in there
"Ive been here the whole time."
Sam Reich Bagman
I need to do a one-shot where Sam Reich traps the players in a dungeon and starts with: "Get ready for a game changer"
could also make it a Samtenna, Sam's face on Tennas screen
Stan Rich
Crazy prince that kidnaps people to go through dungeons for their amusement
Sam Reich as dnd character reminds me of scam likely from dungeons and daddies
surprisingly enough the character creator only took around half an hour
i already had an idea of what i wanted to play so the only real trouble was to make the hottest lizard i could
I did that for D:OS2 but to be fair lady lizards are way more attractive than the male counterparts
Ordered some more Warhammer 40K models with the money I got from Christmas, the Necron collection grows 
Nice!!
I'm currently trying to work on a thousand sons scheme using black holes as inspiration
Using this image
At least for my theme of the scheme
Doing a thousand sons off shoot that got a little to close to one and got warped from it
Where is this gif from 👁️
"Beep man, this mage arena war is fudged. I just saw a cat clap her hands together and say "DOOM" or some similar shiitake, and every one around her was lifted up from the ground, sucked into a black hole and then disappeared. The cat didn't even have a POV on, that's how common beep like this is. My ass is casting freeze and level 2 fireball. I...
Also yes
First of the new kits are here 
Orikan mini also came in 
If only Trazyn got a refresh, then I could have old man toxic yaoi
I agree (I have Orikan too)
God I hope for Trazyn remodel in 11th edition. Then again, I went with Inotekh for a named necron so it’d be awkward to have Nihilakh amongst my Sautekh
I wish the gamestore in my home town and one that I liked going to actually had a good stock of necron models 🙃
Working on some 3rd party proxies for my hand of the archon.
Got two more kits in, a chronomancer and Illuminor Szeras 
Built up the first batch of the new kits I ordered 
Yay I love the chronomancer I wish the psychomancer had better rules
personality wise i prefer trazyn but orikan has some immaculate drip
Currently in session for my Lancer campaign, I rolled a nat one on a burn check and then rolled snake eyes on my structure check. 🙃
That is definitely a big yikes for any mech to suffer.
Before I forget this is my Pilot: Won Hui. Callsign: Decaf
First dnd session after literal Months
I have no idea what we last did
All i know is we are stuck in hell
God speed to us
We are trapped in a maze thats complete darkness
None of us can see things
This is bad
Darkness or magic darkness?
Darkvision did not work
My character has devils sight as a feat also did not work
All we know is none of us can see
And the walls bite back when you hit them
Also people we love from our past show up and we have to fight them
So y'all are fucked is what I'm hearing
Basically yeah
I went through my list of people that could show up for my girl and well it could be anyone from her little sister to her patron (she has a massive stockholm syndrom crush on him)
DM said she wants us to survive this
But that does not mean we will not be majorly traumatized
"Trauma" is just another word for "Character development" in this instance 😌
sneak peek at the final boss of my campaign, which the players should be reaching this saturday
with the players to scale
All our characters already breath trauma honestly
Examples:
We have two people with memory loss, one of them loses his memories everytime he sleeps so he writes everything down
One is a fallen angel
One is a militäry experiment
And my girl sacrificed her soul to save her dying family
I did NOT see them upon first reading this
im scared
Im aiming for it to be a bit of a siege encounter, so they're only rolling for crits. Due to low gravity as its basically an entity with cosmic magic they can jump between platforms. Alongside buffs they'll receive during battle, and probably other buffs that are indirect to their characters
Just have to see if our druid decides they want to invoke their one-use spell to summon either the Jabberwock or the Cheshire Cat from the Feywild to help them out
(Since they're responsible for bringing the Jabberwock back to the Feywild)
Built some more minis today
Picked up my preorder of the new Nekrosor Ammentar from my local store today, got it built nice and quick during RTGame’s livestream of about an hour, hour and a half. Was expecting it to be a total nightmare, but it went together very smoothly and nicely

it looks like a awesome model to paint
I honestly cannot wait to paint this fella up, now I just need to wait for better weather to get it primed lmao
I did a ice necron army and I think if he was released him and the void dragon would have made amazing center pieces
Nice, really wanna get him and the Nightbringer soon
Anyone know of a good website for general loot to give to my players? I feel like I always suck at comming up with random stuff they find
https://5e.tools/lootgen.html I like 5etools for a lot of things, haven't used the loot gen thing tho
mmm
under loot tables select this table:
that has all(?) non-magical items
The top 2 generators are gold
and if you include hoard it'll also generate magic items and/or gems/art objects
so how much would any of y'all recommend playing Lancer?
You mean the guy from underta- shot
I have a friend that likes it
any good suggestions on where i should start?
Look into CompCon, its a website that has a lot of the resources available for players. If you want to DM you will need to purchase some stuff from itch.io
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. There's also a wide variety of first party and a labyrinth of third party content that is exquisite. I can give a few recommendations for adventure s to start on if you want.
I will add are your players big into combat. Lancers combat while not hard to learn is the bulk of the rules and the game expects you to buy into the Tactical combat
Its a fantastic system but if you have players that get overwhelmed with 5e or pf2e combat,it might be hurtle
i'm moreso asking as a player rather than as a gm
If you're a new player for lancer then I would recommend joining the Pilot.Net Discord (you can join off the button next to my name). got a whole bunch of cool people who can help.
Zaktak is a good youtuber for lore and some rules
We messed up in our latest challenge in hell so badly that it looks like we accidently ended up in heaven

we should orginised a Birdhaven dnd session
Well
I suck as a dm
idk how to play dm either sooo
I've tried
It didn't work out
Timezones are a bitch
obligatory Lancer meme cause i'm brainrotted
Understandable have a good day
Vex is a legend when it comes to making Lancer memes. She’s even making a campaign that’s really good. It’s a regular hyper fixation for me.
it's funnier cause I know someone who's a mutual of Vex's
The battlefield is set. The miniatures are ready. And the war begins.
Prepare for battle!

Very interesting
I think the pre order is over in April and they ship shortly after
I grabbed the 3 faction starter will probably post results
I wish I would do more with my minis
but I guess I haven't transported them well and my Shard of the Void Dragon has a few bits broken off
now I am the sad
D: the void dragon was fragile when I had mine to have you seen the new night bringer it's a amazing model
I might be able to glue it back together but its some of the thin bits that came off
so for the Lancer enthusiasts in here, any advice on what i should go for with playing a Stortebeker?
Here's an idea for a build: Focused mainly around using Skirmisher and Accelerate to rapidly manoeuvre around the battlefield to set up warp rifle shots or Melee rushes. It also plays into the Hopkins doctrine trait as well a little bit. Play around with it if you want to see if it might suit you. -- IPS-N Störtebeker @ LL6 -- [ LICENSES ] IPS-N Raleigh 3, HA Sunzi 3 [ CORE BONUSES ] Gyges Frame, Auto-Stabilizing Hardpoints [ TALENTS ] Combined Arms 3, Skirmisher 2, Executioner 2, Gunslinger 2 [ STATS ] HULL:3 AGI:1 SYS:2 ENGI:2 STRUCTURE:4 HP:17 ARMOR:1 STRESS:4 HEATCAP:7 REPAIR:6 TECH ATK:+2 LIMITED:+1 SPD:5 EVA:11 EDEF:9 SENSE:8 SAVE:13 [ WEAPONS ] FLEX MOUNT: Warp Rifle :cc_range:10 :cc_damage_energy:1d3+1 // Auto-Stabilizing Hardpoints FLEX MOUNT: Hand Cannon :cc_range:5 :cc_threat:3 :cc_damage_kinetic:1d6 / Hand Cannon :cc_range:5 :cc_threat:3 :cc_damage_kinetic:1d6 HEAVY MOUNT: Heavy Melee Weapon :cc_threat:1 :cc_damage_kinetic:2d6+1 [ SYSTEMS ] “Roland” Chamber, Accelerate, Blink Charges x4
bit high of a license level compared to where i am currently but thank you dearly
No problem . You can probably get away with 2 levels in Raleigh and 1 in Sunzi, just need to find a loading main weapon to fill the flex mount (or swap the heavy melee for the crossbow and taking the heavy gunner talents instead of executioner).

With all my years in the MLP phase, why did no one tell me there was an MLP D&D series?
So who wants to help me think of some charcaters to play for a 5e game i am joining on the 11th?
No idea
Brand new game apparently
I have some concepts i might want to revisit
A gentleman giff fighter that uses his bare hands
Probably go battle master for the extra utility
I also have an idea for a genasi that could either be an battlesmith artificer or drake warden ranger
Theres also the possibility of a goblin aberration sorcerer
I've not played a wizard
I am spoilt for choice for clerics
does the battle master have unarmed strike dice damage?
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
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
And gets magic punches at 5th
ill say, I thoroughly enjoyed ana aberation sorcerer I palyed, I used the Sorcery Points alternative rules tho
Alt rules?
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
Same
Interesting
I don't know if i care for warlock tbh
Aside from hexblade
I've tried but its just so bleh
also a note on a Giff Unarmed figther, you can't use the Astral Spark Giff Feature with unarmed strikes technically
that's fine
I wouldn't suggest playing a warlock then 
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
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
What TZ are you in?
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.
Going to drop the link to the sign up form for my lancer game here.
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
Both are valid reasons
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
Fair fair
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
Going to give it a few more days before I invite people to my lancer game discord. Letting a few more people sign up.
EST as eastern standard time or EST as european standard time?
Eastern standard time
Im tempted to join
You can always drop your name in the form
Actually, looking at this form rn, what is this all about?
Lancer campaign. I use the form to ask questions and see what times and ideas people like/want
Whats a Lancer campaign?
Lancer is a ttrpg focused on mechs
Alot of different ones. I'm at work so can't easily describe them all
But alot of different mechs. Currently on lunch so I can yap a bit. Like industrial mechs from ipsn
High tech anime inspired
The military industrial complex
Or the ever strange horus
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.
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
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.
The rp isn't wargamey but actually combat is somewhat wargamey. So this is one of the sitreps that might be used in a combat. So the entire combat you have is focused on this,scoring 'points' to see if you can win the fight.
So i have narrowed open my options for my character for my new group
Charisma caster
Bard or sorcerer
warlock
then "Charisma caster" is too broad of a designation
Which is why I followed up on sorcerer or bard
Possibly?
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
D20 with d6s for things called accuracy and difficulty
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.
Everything else is small flat bonuses. Lancer numbers are pretty low
Okay
Found an art piece for when I get to be a lancer player instead of a gm
Yep my favorite frame the calendula aka spooky Dave
The Pixel art people have done for lancer frames is always really good.
Especially in Retrograde foundry. They always seem to be GOATed.
I mean I'm a top tier subscriber for retrograde so I let my players pick and choice things
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
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
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
how many folks have you gotten so far?
3 that good for Sunday. One that is kinda a maybe. He's flacky on Sundays
But I got room for 1 to 2 more players
I can run with 3 but I like 4 to 5 PCs since it gives more breathing room for builds and roles
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
I am just stuck trying to think of what their weapon would be
And their name
Another application for my lancer game but its Wednesday
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.
So I got one more spot left for a Sunday lancer game in Eastern Standard time around 12pm or 1pm
So a spare character i have has 69 max hp
Nice
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
Oh nice a really good lancer youtuber posted the next license video

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.
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
Still got room for 1 more person in my Sunday lancer game since my 5th player hasn't replied yet
GUYS HELP ME WE'RE FIGHTING FUCKING VALSTRAX
oh dear
A PIVOTAL MOMENT IN OUR SOMNUS DOMINA GAME AND WE'RE FIGHTING VALSTRAX
WE KILLED VALSTRAX
WE KILLED A FUCKING CRIMSON VALSTRAX
You can fought VALSTRAX!?!
so we uh
im in a game that theres a plane of existence called the plane of dragons
thats where all the Monster Hunter Monsters
AND NOT JUST A VALSTRAX
A CRIMSON VALSTRAX
NO JOKE WE THOUGHT WE WERE SO FUCKED
THIS IS WHAT WE FUCKING FOUGHT

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
The Game im in is based off of a Series
Somnus Domina with a LOT of homebrew stuff
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
my party in my dnd strixhaven game named themselves "The Cuddle Club"
My dnd party met The Gardener
from D2?
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
How the hell did it last for 4 years?
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
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
DRINK DEEP. AND DESCEND.

What Lancer frame should I animate next?
I won't get to the next one for a little while though because I'm starting work again soon

This gun does not exist.
Gun gun? GUN
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
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
Me, looking at my level 4 adventurers in a free-built homebrew strixhaven campaign:
“mmm… I think they’re ready for a hydra.”
Sure they are
w-why
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”.
Ah a fellow player of Lancer?
Ember: Obsidian Protocol is the craziest tabletop wargame story I've ever seen. This looks like an incredible mech wargame but can it survive itself?

huh, never heard of this, Ember: Obsidian protocol
yes
Sixth voice in general has some fun stuff,sadly has the 3rd party issue of being wildly scattered in power levels
Well rip,lost a player for my sunday/saturday lancer game before session 1
sad rip
So I'll probably be on the hunt again for a player
If anyone wants to try out lancer I have a free spot. We aim to play on Sundays at <t:1780070400:t> but Saturday is our back up day
Starting at level 0 so no previous knowledge needed
Soo uhhh
My character is gonna fight a secret boss character in Lancer…
Uuuuuuuh
you unlocked that fight from Armored Core
More on the lines of im fighting the secret cameo character
They have a LL12 build
OH SO ITS MORE OR LESS KINGDOM HEARTS SECRET FIGHT
Im at LL9
oh get your ass outta there bucko
Thats the thing
you're about to fight Yozora
I cant
No worse than Yozora
More like...
Crazy Cyborg woman
So for more context
Or NHP pc has cascaded and yoink the mech we were gonna use for our plan
She may have also ripped holes across time and space
currently i’m in the making of a Calendula Pilot,
Rudaldorn Euryut, Callsign “Rook”, Piloting the Last Light
i’m actually tempted to change the callsign from Rook to Ozymandias
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
spooky dave
Spent just shy of two hours working on this Captain’s wings 😅
Very pretty
