[QUOTE=HALP Cat;42714338]It's a lot harder to design an interesting 1 guy BBEG final showdown than an encounter with multiple NPCs that fill different combat roles, in my opinion. You always either run the risk of it having too much health or 1shotting party members to make him "challenging", where as in group encounters you usually have many low hp targets that deal moderate damage and cast debuffs on the party etc.[/QUOTE]
I've always found them easier than normal encounters, in fact they're my favorite encounters to design. I can stop holding back and do the fun shit that normally would be ill-suited for common encounters. One of my groups more memorable boss encounters took place in a room suspended above a lake of lava (actually a dimensional gate to the Plane of Fire), with the floor caving away every 5 rounds. Lots of jumping and boosting each other across gaps that grew too large. In the end they had to rely on grappling hooks shot into the walls and ceiling to swing around and avoid falling into the lava. The boss is all about fire though, so he was happy to submerge himself into the lake and spring up on them like a fucking shark; added some fire damage to his attacks for the first few rounds when he did that.
It was only after they defeated him, managed to get out of the room and recover that they remembered he was just a boss and not the BBEG of the current chapter. :v:
I mean you can do that with normal encounters too, but we like cinematic fighting so I have to save the really good stuff for boss fights or else suffer from over-the-top-fatigue. Pacing an all that.

oh god its going to happen
Hm, I was about to ask if you could "Animate Rope" on your penis, but it specifically says "a nonliving ropelike object" in the spell description. I have a feeling someone's tried this before.

The FATAL campaign starts on sunday, anal circumference should be rolled up before the game.

Does Warforged dong count as non-living?

you didnt invite me? shamefurr dispray
[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;42721941]Does Warforged dong count as non-living?[/QUOTE]
I can always count on RPGers to come up with good loopholes.
Warforged are very specifically considered living.
Okay so i have a half made campaign prepared (Currently i estimate about 6 hour of play[Tho this can go up and down depending on people]) for DnD4e, with [url=http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=67161]Two[/url] [url=http://facepunch.com/member.php?u=115281]FacePunchers[/url], and am looking for two more people to play this with. Its a semi-not-so-super-serious-on-the-rp type of group thats more about having fun then power gaming or some shit.
So if you are interested you can pm me on FP or add me on steam. We all are from Europe (GMT+1 / +0), and the session would be played weekly on weekends.
Most of us here are new and we are willing to accept anyone who never played the game before with a will to teach them. Only requirement is voice and to speak english. (We use mumble and roll20.net)

I have a solution.
Cut off your dick, then tape it back on.
Can a mod change the thread title to ERPG General
[QUOTE=elowin;42725288]I have a solution.

I think that would just count as repairs. You could die and become a robo zombie though.

it's fine, just make sure you don't accidentally cast restoration on yourself
So, tomorrow I'm going to this event where 3 partys are going to be playing the same campaign at the same time, one following DnD 3.5e, one DnD 4e and another DnD Next (I'm on this one). This ought to be interesting.
wait wait wait wait, DnD Next exists?
[QUOTE=Mastahamma;42725648]wait wait wait wait, DnD Next exists?[/QUOTE]
It just finished the playtesting phase, it's free (until print release):

Last I heard under the skill system of D&D Next it was possible for Asmodeus to be unable to identify himself, it was also possible for him to be intimidated by a level 2 paladin.
That was a while ago there's every possibility they somehow salvaged that trainwreck since then.

Wizards seem to be keeping up their tradition of silly skill stuff. I still miss the DC 15 Knowledge check to know that Cave Bears live in Caves
Does anyone happen to have any alternative character sheets for D&D Next? I'm not a fan of the latest one with the round bit.

They also include a section in the DM book about ignoring the dice on exceptionally good or bad plans, ideas, speeches, etc.

I'm back from it and.... yes, it's pretty horrible (the session was fun but the game is not the improvement over D&D 4 I expected it to be), back to Pathfinder then!

Next time I play in a generic fantasy campaign, I will play that.
So, we're playing a halloween edition of Cyberpunk 2020, long story short, after a bunch of faffing about we end up confronting our evil opposites.
One player is playing a Luchador, his evil opposite is Hulk Hogan.
Another is playing a do-gooder cop, his opposite is Dirty Harry.
Then we have a business-y kinda dude, his opposite is Mad Max.
And a master jazz player and lord of cool, his opposite is Elvis.
And then we have me. I'm playing a character who is pretty much a mixture of Ash from Pokemon and Ash from Evil Dead, and ofcourse completely crazy and murderous.
My evil counterpart is Oakthulhu.

I love drawing stupid shit like this. Also cyberpunk 2020 is the best system, everyone needs to play it.
Also the reason why the business-y dude's counterpart is Mad Max is because Mr. Business used to be a STALKER.
I just caught the wild Oakthulhu.
