[QUOTE=Nitrowing;35586450]A most interesting Dark Heresy session this time. The team took the psyker girl and decided to send her off to be processed by higher powers. After picking up some gear at a local market, the cell made their way into a night club and trawled for a likely contact. They spotted a suspicious fellow and made their way over to him, then questioned him for information. The tech-priest failed to intimidate the hiver, who then poured his drink over a nearby bear-sized man who engaged in combat with Malek, the party psyker.
The perp took off out a side door and the cleric and tech-priest followed suit while the assassin and psyker brawled with the bar patron using guns and knives instead of fists. The sheer stress of the battle, after shrugging off a laser blast and a knife in the eye, caused the bearman to have a heart attack and die all of a sudden. The others, meanwhile, chased down the informant by bashing through a door onto the outside of the hive city. The man stole a hovercar which then proceeded to burst into flames for no apparent reason, killing him as he failed several dozen times to stop, drop, and roll.
With the only informant dead at their feet, the party could only watch in amazement as the informant's twin brother/clone/doppelganger came out of a side door. The chased him down, had a dramatic hovercar chase (as intended) and crash landed on a pad before the team assassin could finish killing the remaining informant. They briefly interrogated the guy, getting what they needed to know, and then a sniper killed him.
It was more exciting than it sounds but was hilarious fun nonetheless.[/QUOTE]
Good thing I keep 11 daggers on my person at all times or I would have fallen off that building to my death, and that would have sucked.

To be honest, the dice gods/rolz lords were not on your side today. You used up all your fate points and even then just barely passed with that knife thing. If we were actually playing by the legit rules today, the informant would be dead, brynjolf and likely Janus with him, the thugs in the nightclub would have entered gunfight mode, and you would never have received the next clue about where to go. There was [I]a lot[/I] of GM leniency today. From now on, tough love from the GM. Death is final and fate points may have to be burned in future.

And hilarious.

And potentially frustrating when you realize 4 hours later that your character was hanging on to a sword embedded in the metal of the hover car and probably shouldn't have been flung off it to his almost-death quite that easily.
[QUOTE=elowin;35579669]That's always a plus.[/QUOTE]
Oh but don't call it Magitek, call it SCIENCE.
They also got flyers. I need to get to writing this down.

Wow, I wasn't expecting to learn so much from this thread...
I've joined my friends in playing DnD and we did a one-shot this last Friday. It's really fun shit.
Over the summer we are going to play once a week, but I'm gonna need my own dice set. Anyone know what's good? These Chessex sets on Amazon look good enough.
[editline]17th April 2012[/editline]
Oh, my one-shot character was generated with the Character Builder online
(it didn't give me any dailies)
Chessex dice sets are amazing. I have two sets myself but one set which I always thought stood out was the Gemini Blue-Red w/gold 7-die set, they look nice and are very easy to read.
Yeah my friend has a couple of sets but they're like dark brown on grey, pretty hard to read
I'll just get a chessex set.
My first character is a Mul Berserker, it's gonna be fun
So... I just had to have a conversation with someone about how a lolita goth 12 year old half-vampire monk is not legitimate in the DnD universe. That wasn't even the strangest part of the conversation.
The worst part? He's a Munchkin. Also kinda dumb.
Most Munchkins are kind of dumb.
Would anyone be interested in doing a campaign off the Kingmaker AP? (Pathfinder system, obviously.)
From the PHB itself,
[quote]Your group of characters begins the Kingmaker Adventure Path as one of four groups sent south into the Stolen Lands to defeat bandits and, hopefully, to establish one of four new nations in the River Kingdoms.
It certainly won’t be an easy task.
Before any such settlement can even begin, the bandits and monsters must be dealt with—and once that initial task is done, the danger will only increase.
As you struggle to foster a fledgling kingdom, build up its cities, and expand its farmlands, your group is destined to face rival warlords, ferocious beasts, strange cults, invading barbarian hordes, and even the mysterious fey denizens of the near-mythical First World.
Can you tame the Stolen Lands and forge a lasting settlement amid such opposition? Who will survive to rule your kingdom?
Who among you possesses the makings of a king?[/quote]
Basically you're a group of adventurers sent by Restov meant to clear out the Stolen Lands and make it suitable for civilization, and somewhere in the middle of it you're swept up and begin constructing your own kingdom.
Could you be evil?
[QUOTE=doomkiwi;35618388]Could you be evil?[/QUOTE]
No one ever said the new kingdom [I]couldn't[/I] be a ruled by a despotic overmind.
[QUOTE=doomkiwi;35618388]Could you be evil?[/QUOTE]
Yeah, there are rules for evil-aligned kingdoms.
It's also generally assumed the kingdom is going to be a monarchy, though we'd be able to wing it easily enough.
Throw me a PM if anyone's interested.
Switched my Mul Berserker to a Mul Weaponmaster(fighter) multiclassed into Warlord.
So many tanky, supportive powers, and it's still got good damage! Ain't gotta worry about raging either.
Berserker?
What the hell happened to good old fasioned Barbarians?
Isn't the barbarian class pretty much a berserker anyway?
The role is different between barbarians and berserkers.
A barbarian is a striker and a berserker is a defender who can rage and turn into a striker

Aren't d12 hit dice enough for you?
Think of the actual circumstances of my Vampire character's Embrace, whether she should be sleeping at the point of the initial attack or perhaps invoking some more... horrific and mature imagry and themes, shall we say. I'm not sure which to do with given my own distaste for such things in fiction and the challenge such a backstory will give me as a roleplayer, but perhaps it may add something to the rather Purity Sue-ish nature of my character.
Will the red starter kit available at Barnes & Noble work for 3.5? I'm starting to learn about DnD and my friend told me to learn 3.5, and I don't want to get the wrong thing.

I think that red box you're referring to contains the 4e set of rules, "The best way to start playing the 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons® Fantasy Roleplaying Game - in the classic D&D Red Box." Find a kit, or buy the standard books outright, which refer to the 3.5e set of rules if you're set on using those.
Wow, the character builder on the WOTC website is a real piece of shit
Says i'm not logged in but I am. (It's a group subscription in case you're wondering... I wouldn't pay for it all by myself.)
So I'm a Warlock-Binder Drow/Shade in my newest 4th Ed campaign, and I love every second of being an evil dick. This last game I had a conversation with a flame skull because he caught me trying to steal his stuff. He was basically a sphinx and made me guess the answer to a riddle. I guessed correctly, and he offered me his magic coin. I looked at it, looked back up at him, looked down at it, and was reaching for the coin when he started laughing maniacally. I stopped, looked him dead straight in the eye, and poured my waterskin on his head. He didn't like that and went into a rage, at which point I took the coin anyway and ran into the next room, which was a dead end, filled with nothing but darkness. I then hid in the darkness, waited for him to come into the room and search for me, and stood in the doorway.
I then yelled "Hey Bones, I got a riddle for you! What's got two thumbs and doesn't give a shit?"
He turned around with murder in his eye-sockets and yelled "WHAT?!"
"This guy!" as I point to myself with my thumbs, stunlock him with my daily and walk out of the room, being very careful to lock the metal door behind me.
Somewhere there is a very lonely flame skull in an empty room, trapped for all eternity.
