[QUOTE=war_man333;45513554]Any D&D players from Denmark? Specifically Aarhus...? Never played D&D before but I love RPG games in general.

sometimes I wish I lived in some huge city in the US[/QUOTE]
I don't think I'd like going out and doing D&D in person, I'd rather stick to online calls & stuff like that, but otherwise I'm from around that area, however I'm already in one D&D group, and I'd rather not spread myself too thinly.
You can check the small flags beneath avatars for countries.
It turns out that ambushing the superhero PCs in a room filled with lots of molten metal is quite hazardous for NPCs when jumping checks are involved. We must have reused that Terminator 2 'thumbs up ending' joke around four times or more that session thanks to a lot of natural 1's on my part.
[QUOTE=lintz;45518514]i know elowin is danish but no idea where.[/QUOTE]
not from that area
also i'm in like 4 fucking games already please no more
[QUOTE=Twistshock;45518041]I think that'd be our rogue who set a human city on fire to make a distraction while getting us out of a jail.
We haven't kept track of actual numbers, sadly.
Edit: For the record, I'm not considering me aiding in burning down a city of telepathic ducks as kills.[/QUOTE]
If we are counting influencing actions as direct killings then a party in my traveller game managed to kill 8 billion people. They were tasked with scouting an uncharted area, they found a planet with a civilization in the atomic era. This civilization couldn't really handle the idea of human aliens elsewhere in the galaxy, and the party couldn't keep the different nation states under diplomatic terms and they ended up nuking the shit out of each other. The party escaped but left behind a marble world. They decided to just write in the report that they discovered the marble world and found traces of a civilization.
Is that one Shadowrun campaign still open to new players? Me and [url=http://www.facepunch.com/member.php?u=444214]Broguts[/url] are interested.
Playing Only War.
Our mission was to shut down a weapon's generator system in a hive city, on the way we found an aux. control room for the generator. As a bit of background, I'm an operator who has absolute garbage rolls for stats, like, I rolled a 23 for weapon skill, a 22 is the lowest you can roll at character creation in OW. Anyway, I smashed buttons and soldered random connections on this console and unlocked the fire-suppression system in the generator room very easily with my maxed tech-use. At this point I remembered there are a great deal of civilian engineers in the room, and I couldn't willingly activate this system which would very easily suffocate these poor innocent civilians. The Commissar decided this wasn't what he wanted, pointed his bolt pistol at me and tried to intimidate me into doing the very thing I did not want to do. Rolls for intimidate, fails, I pass the opposed test and we decide that I now intimidate him. "These are my streets now, back the fuck up."
I had become the head pimp of this street now and it was time to enact street justice upon the heretics and xenos. We went into the airlock, everyone packed like clowns into the decontamination room while Sam, the stealthy sniper managed to stealth right in the doorway next to the intimidated civilian engineer I enlisted to shut down the generator. He shot the only PDF trooper we could see, who had no fucking clue from where he was shot, and the engineer went to work. At this time we emerged from the decontamination room like it was a fucking circus and went to work, shortly after killing the technicians, we were ambushed by a traitor Officer, Sergeant, and four troopers.
Two troopers came at our sniper, one trooper and the officer went for Boris, our heavy weapons guy of immense strength. Boris grappled the officer like a bear would grapple a small, helpless, baby deer, and I stabbed him with my bayonet, this did critical damage, causing extensive bleeding. Our commissar was mobbed by the sergeant and two troopers, he dropped a photon grenade at his feet, blinding almost all of us for at least one turn. While blind I switched to one of the stun batons I had looted from the civilian security officers earlier and blindly swung it into the trooper who was in front of me, killing him instantly, bitch should have picked up that can. At this time it should be noted I had been prone on the ground for the entire combat, so I pretty much swung this baton into this poor bloke's balls with lethal effect.
In the end the intimidated civilian engineer was able to shut down the generator, zero civilian casualties under my command, and we captured two Tau Earth Caste Technicians, a Traitor PDF Officer, some random Traitor PDF Technician, and a civilian security guard I shot with a shotgun slug because he tried to hit me with a stun baton earlier, and those things are apparently lethal as fuck.
[QUOTE=Crimor;45518985]I'm Sam in this, that stealth was hilarious, I pretty much skyrim'd the guy with the Stealth Sniper talent over two rounds, and stayed in stealth for so long the gm tried to make someone attack me like three times.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=DVH;45519002]You forgot the part where I didn't count on the reinforcements arriving and was stuck alone, causing 2 mooks and an officer to bumrush me. Next turn I do what I'm best at and throw a photon 'nade at my feet, which due to some luck bounced away from most of my teammates. I then ran back into the big ball of friendlies with only 4 damage because 2 out of 3 were blinded.
Also those dual stun batons are sexy as fuck.
I was the commissar btw.[/QUOTE]

More to the point, all of us were crowding into this 3 meter wide hall way in pretty much the same place.

Way late, but I had no internet for a few days since I was out, but bingo :v:
I'm thinking of developing that discontinued heroica lego set stuff into some sort of DnD thing with some simple homebrew rules.
So, I'm gonna try running Chthonian Stars on Sundays, now, to replace a Pathfinder game whose GM can't make it for a few weeks.
Basically, Call of Cthulhu in space, using the Traveller rule set(TL8 is the cap), where humanity has reached the edge of our solar system and there's big bad stuff trying to make its way in. If you've heard of the system The Void, it's the same setting, just a different rule set.
Anybody interested in joining? We need at least 1 more player to have a legitimate squad by setting standards. :v:

It's basically just 2d6+a modifier based on your relevant characteristic and skill.
Add me on steam when you get the chance and we'll discuss it more, I guess, to avoid clogging the thread.

Ok I sent the friend request
The only complicated parts of traveller are the character creation and making vehicles
and at least the former is one of the best parts of the system
and the latter sucks because percentages are just hell
like seriously who honestly thinks it's critical to the play process to know the power-weight ratio of your vehicle beyond just 'it works well enough to go' as well as ground pressure and all sorts of other nonesense
like I have fun with it because I'm a massive fucking nerd for vehicles but jesus christ they make you fucking work for optimizing your car/mecha/jetfighter

GURPS has worse vehicle rules.
My party were just captured in the last session and taken to some hill billy arena thing.
So far three of them have been tortured because of bad behavior (one of them asked to be tortured???) and one of the party members had their legs broken which gave him -10 movement speed and -2 reflex perma.
and then the Paladin decided to fight the Arena Champion on his first day and got demolished by a 9ft, 1.2 ton grappling robot.
[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;45503673]And then there was the cliffhanger.
Where we got trapped at the bottom of an elevator shaft without our pokemon.
And the floor is covered in blood and human teeth.[/QUOTE]
DM clarification that the floor is not covered in blood and human teeth it's just a trail of blood and three human teeth. Still terrifying but we aren't at Event Horizon yet.

Online is much better for beginners imo
not to mention mosts groups IRL are full of autists unless you have a group of friends you know.
In our last game, the party's barbarian charged straight into a group of goblins. They were obscured by fog of war so he didn't really have any idea of what he just did.
First round, seven goblins mob into him and try to attack him with daggers, spears and arrows. They ALL miss. I can just picture them swinging their tiny daggers in front of the guy while letting out scared wimping sounds.
And then, in the next round, four goblins attack him again. THREE of them crit, and the fourth one was just one point away from critting as well. The RNG God giveth, the RNG God taketh.
[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;45523441]not to mention mosts groups IRL are full of autists unless you have a group of friends you know.[/QUOTE]
this is exactly what I feared about this game
[QUOTE=TrannyAlert;45523441]Online is much better for beginners imo[/QUOTE]
I'd almost think the opposite was true, that a real-table introduction would be far better for a beginner to get into role playing and that online play requires a more stable group to hold together
I tried playing with a random PF group at a local comic shop.
When I told a guy I liked the Samurai class (more for flavor than anything), he proceeded to whine about how Fighter was soooo much better and you could [i]everything[/i] a Samurai could do but better.
Which, you know cool story, but I didn't ask for you to critique my play style or class choice.

i dont need to smell people i game with online
case and point
Yeah well my first time playing DnD was with a bunch of people irl.
Went to some smelly nerd place called Fanboy 3 and everyone was fat and greasy.
I ended up quitting because the party were all stuck up bellends and weird as fuck
When you play DnD you are literally just asking to be showered in stuck-up, greasy, smelly, nerds.
except nobody I play with irl is like that nice stereotype
[QUOTE=Mellowbloom;45523988]except nobody I play with irl is like that nice stereotype[/QUOTE]
The people I know irl that play aren't really fat or greasy, but they are stuck up as fuck.
And one of them is pretty smelly. He once actually made fun of this autistic kid for being smelly when he had a fucking miasma leaking from his pits.
