I have a GW with a Forbidden Planet next door so that's neat I guess There's no room to play in either of them though, barring 40k etc in GW, but Forbidden Planet stocks plenty of books and stuff

I have a forbidden planet nearby too, it's where I got the 2e Adventure Book Good store, but they stock all the crap like Dr. Who and what not, hundreds of models.

And don't get me wrong, it has a good selection of game books, figurines, etc, but that's all I'd go there for.

There's one game store in the city here (more general game store, board games and all sorts) run by a notorious old woman who wards off every customer who comes in by snapping at them and following them around suspiciously and overtly and various other rude antics. Tempted to go and find it one day for a laugh

There's several potential game stores near me. But as far as I can tell, none of them give a shit about anything except MTG and comic books.

[B]Magical Burst: Session 9: On the Run[/B] [url]http://pastebin.com/JUQd1QM0[/url] [quote]Several timeskipped days of uneventfulness later, and all the party members are at home. Each gets a call from an NPC girl asking to meet at the park to discuss what the fuck has been going on. Through sheer anime coincidence they all arrive at the same park at more or less the same time. Party explains situation about demons and magic and such to NPC girls. Some explanations later, Satoya gets a call from Princess, the pink-haired bitch. She's on the run from some cops or something because she stole a case full of Arcanium. She crashes through the park, yells a lot, then runs off. Satoya chases her, Eri chases Satoya. Satoya loses Eri and eventually finds where Princess had to ditch the case. This game didn't last long because Data is a pleb, so we stopped there.[/quote]

I've got one gamestore near school but it's two miles down the road with no sidewalks and I can't have a car on campus for another year Back at home there's a few nearby stores but all the groups I've seen at those have been playing 4e which is disgusting Although one of them basically was like 'if you GM this module for us, we'll give it to you for free at the end' which was pretty cool, but as I said, 4e

[QUOTE=LiquidNazgul;43659543]A game of pathfinder on Sundays, and on Saturdays a game of---guess fucking what---Mathfinder.[/QUOTE] Want me to come down and make snarky comments on Saturday?

So it was my first time GMing Pathfinder last night and I've been trying to fix my mistakes in my previous campaigns. It's certainly been one of my more action packed sessions, but after AdEva I think opening with a dungeon crawl wasn't a bad idea. Current kill list: 2x Giant Wasps 10x Bone Wolves 1x Chimera

Somebody make a Urkainian revolution game. There are so many class sheets around the internet, why waste the oportunity?

I GM a Shadowrun 5E game on Thursdays, and this week's game was mostly taken up by a huge 3 hour chase scene where the players chased an Elf who stole 3 kilos of novacoke (aka future cocaine) from the italian mob. The run was intended to be a delivery mission, with 6 stops to deliver drugs to various dealers. On each stop I rolled a d6, and on a 1 the guy would try to rip them off. First 3 stops go according to plan, with a little scare on the third because I rolled a 2. Fourth delivery is to an Elf, whose name I've already forgotten, and I roll a 1. Of course it would be the Elf. So he steals the drugs and runs off, while goons block the party from chasing him. They end up driving off in their van while being chased by 2 guys on bikes, and a car. Long story short, the mage casts Chaotic World in the middle of a busy intersection and gets 5 successes. Everybody in the intersection takes a -5DP penalty to all rolls. I make drive checks for all the guys chasing them, and they all roll 0 successes, and crash. Then, because this is a busy intersection, I rolled a d100 to see how big the pile up would be. 100. Well, they weren't supposed to kill 100+ people but they managed to. Eventually they track the Elf guy back to his safehouse, park outside, and send in a flyspy drone to see if he's there. Drone goes in, searches around for a bit, and eventually finds him and an Ork in a back room watching the van outside on a monitor. I roll perception, and the Ork notices the drone. The rigger immediately GTFOs his flyspy, and the others rush the door, while the rigger waits in the van. They break down the door and run to the room the rigger said they were in. They're gone. They hear a car starting from the garage, and then the rigger watches them drive out. The street samurai of the group, Flink, makes a Run check and gets 7 successes. He runs like a kenyan after the car, and tries to grab on. He fails the check, but edges it to reroll and succeeds. The Elf, and the Ork are driving away in their fancy sports car while an italian with strength 7 cyber arms clutches the spoiler for dear life. Several drive, and strength checks later, they can't shake him off. The Ork climbs out the window with his shotgun and starts taking shots at Flink while he shoots out the tires with his Uzi. Eventually Flink gets hit, and fails his strength test to hold on. I have him roll reaction, and he does well, so I give him a chance to try to catch the rigger's van who's been chasing the car this whole time, and avoid eating pavement. 7 successes later, Flink is climbing up the side of the van. Seeing as how he can't shake the Rigger who is a much better driver, the Elf tries to turn down a tight alley and escape. Flink gets inside the van just in time to not take a brick wall to the face, and they turn down the alley. Seeing as how there's not enough room to take shots out the window, Flink decides the best course of action is to smash the van's windshield and full auto his Uzi into the sports car. Several full autos later the Elf driving the car is unconscious, and the Ork is doing everything he can just to prevent the car from crashing. After pulling up along the swerving sports car, Flink convinces the Ork to give them the Elf. Flink glitches his strength test to move the Elf between speeding cars and accidentally crushes the Elf's leg under the tire. This whole time the Mage, a dwarf named Steve, has been driving after them in a car he stole after the others left him inside the Elf's house because he was too slow to keep up with his stubby dwarf legs. After a while I threw him a bone, and told him that he saw the others up ahead on a different road. And because I knew he would do it, I told him that between him and the others was a parked truck which could be used as a ramp. AKA this: [url]http://www.gtawh.com/images/gtasa/vehicles/packer.jpg[/url] So of course he tries to ramp the truck, and rolls 0 successes on his drive check. Several seconds later the rest of the party watches as their friend Steve tries to ramp a truck and barrel rolls his car into a ditch. They kept driving. With the Elf bleeding out, and the drugs secured, they pick up Steve and drive to Soymart (AKA, Future Walmart). There, while Steve makes first aid rolls to keep the Elf alive, they buy a med kit, which they use to stabilize the Elf, and Flink declines the cashier's offer to sign up for a Soymart Customer Card. Then, they finish the rest of their deliveries, and return to the Pizzeria from which the mob operates, Elf in tow. All in all, a successful run with upwards of just over 200 casualties.

Two of the party in my online game I'm running just turned on each other and started brawling over a botched fireball, while three unsavoury NPCs they just stumbled across have completely lost the limelight and are just stood around bemused. These two characters have fought several varieties of foes over several sessions and managed somehow to come away without a single scratch - now one of them is on the point of KO'd and I didn't roll a single die all night.

Jokes away, is there a game with non-complicated rules I can join? I don't mind any setting really.

A couple of online games I know of are starting up pretty soon. What sort of player would you describe yourself as? I can pass it along..

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;43666043]A couple of online games I know of are starting up pretty soon. What sort of player would you describe yourself as? I can pass it along..[/QUOTE] You would be my hero for life if you did. I have played a variety of games (fantasy, cyberpunk and gangster themed), but all in amateur systems. I have never tried the original DnD or any similar systems because I shamelessly didn't want to dive into the rules and people around me didn't want either. The reason for amateur systems was that we wanted to focus on storytelling as we could only have one session (meeting rarely). This way we had to save as much time as we could. However I am willing to try anything if it means fun. As for the play style I rarely play as combat types as I find it pretty boring. I am more into finding witty solutions and creating obscure plans (I tried to kill Kastro by sniping him from a hovering in a baloon 2 kms away from Kastro's mansion and that almost worked!). Setting wise I most enjoy anything with a Machiavellian/postmodernism vibe to it. Cruel worlds, manipulative politicians, all that buzz. Think The Witcher, Deus Ex. I can barely stand cartoonish fables, settings with clear black vs white conflicts (generic evil vs good drives me mad because I keep trying to explain it in my head and CAN'T). Real life wise I am in Russia, GMT+3 (Moscow time). I can be online nearly all the time up until 10th of February.

Cool. one of the games is likely to be rather a dungeon-crawl I think, which doesn't sound like it'd suit you, but I'll pass your info to the other DM at least.

Sorry if I've missed something (I only skimmed through a few pages), but is there any online group for any game that allows newbies to play with them? I live in a small town and probably won't be close to any opportunities to play with people in real life for at least two years.

Exalted storytime session #9: [quote]The circle tried to convince Chumyo Teresu to give them support in waging a war on the Mask of Winters. She was having none of it, so they left. On their way out, Flicker wished them farewell and flew away(because I kicked her player out between sessions due to most of the group disliking him). As they were leaving the city, they passed by a bard playing a guitar, and it was, might I add, [i]beautiful[/i]. To the point where there were sounds that couldn't have been coming from a single guitar, due to him being the new guy: Wind. Cloud and Wolf decided to help him with his performance by hopping on to his shoulders and dancing to his music, managing to maintain their balance as he did a powerslide to the edge of his little stage, then they all did various dances. The crowd got excited in numerous ways as a result, and asked for their names, which they were given. They each got a dot of cult because now these people worshiped their fucking beautiful bodies and skillful performances. Then Wind threw down a smokebomb and they all ran away. The circle made their way to the Jade Manse, about 100 miles south of the city. They took the long way to avoid the Mourning Fields, so it took them about a week to get there. After tripping a few traps, including a skull that popped out of the front door and squirted them with water, a set of downward stairs that turned in to a slope going down in to a pit of fire, a slanted hall with a burning log that rolled through it, and a long hallway that shot fire at anybody who stepped in the wrong place, they made it to the second floor. At the end of another long hallway, they opened the door to the hearthroom. Inside was a man in red jade armor, with a big red-jade grand daiklave, shakily holding it in a defensive position. Crimson used a necromancy spell to make him drop the daiklave and hold him in position, then they told him to give them the hearthstone and leave the manse, forgetting about his family in Lookshy and heading south to start a new life. Wind used his anima power to sanctify the deal. Cloud took the hearthstone, a Firebird Gem, and after attuning to the manse tested it out by leaping out a window and turning in to a bird, then flying around the manse a few times. The group returned to Lookshy, then boarded Prince's ship and set sail for Sijan, to see what they could do about recruiting any kind of army there as well as going after the Soulsteel Manse. Cue 4-month travel time that's going to pass between session.[/quote]

I'll also post storytime. [t]http://i.imgur.com/WrxI34P.png[/t]
