D&D 4e: This edition sucks edition - Games

[QUOTE=draugur;48325308]I can see a lot of potential in a microsized setting, but yeah the cover art alone made me loose all hope.[/QUOTE] You could always just use potions of Enlarging/Reduction. Hell, the old Dungeonland and Land Beyond the Magic Mirror AD&D modules used it for some areas. That's pretty exclusively fetish fodder, as the cover itself pretty well indicates.

[QUOTE=elowin;48319865]if you don't tell us how it goes afterwards i'll hunt you down and poke you in the ribs until you do[/QUOTE] So with a slightly reduced party, the two adventurers from the main group awoke in the Candy Tavern, wherein the Buttermilk Bartender offered them drinks. Ragtime music was played by the local band, The Jube Jubes. Thinking it was yet again another circle of hell (the focus of the storyline is the party venturing down increasingly mad fractures in reality to find a runaway noble elf), the adventurers refused the barkeep's hospitality. The Party's Paladin immediately suspected evil magic was afoot, and advised the other party members not to eat the candy people. The rogue, whose player recently returned from a two-session absence, awoke in a candy jail cell and broke from its trivial confines, killing a gumdrop guard in the process. The Rogue also thought it was prudent to not eat the candy. The main group was told there was a show in the town square, and they moved there to find the Paladin's retainers (noble background, lost them a couple sessions ago) were being led to a chocolate gallows to be hanged, and burned in sacrifice to their "Blood God" (The archdevil of war, whom the Candy People worship.) Additionally their MacGuffin, the noble elf wild-sorcerer was also being led to be hanged. Naturally rogue wanted to rescue the elf and claim the reward for finding him (the initial quest of the story) and so he threw his "Grendel's Bottle O' Gremlins" (found in a hellish bottling plant) at the crowd, instead hitting the stage. It didn't much matter, as the gremlins erupted from the smashed bottle and wreaked chaos on the town. Burning down sugarplum huts and mercilessly beating the Lemondrop Sheriff (basically the Earl Of Lemongrab) half to death before disappearing in a puff of smoke. The retainers and important NPC were rescued, though the elf noted that they should find cover as it was around the time that the Bees typically came. You see, the Candy People who occupy this former-paradise have been locked in a struggle with the Fruit & Vegetable Realm, who themselves worship another Archdevil vying for control of this paradise (it would be a good lure for mortal souls). One of the many minions of the Potato King (the puppet dictator) are swarms of horrifying CR 3 Bees, which carry the candy people off into the distant lands of the Vegetable Realm. After the bees disperse and the elf explains a few plot points, the party travels to the Vegetable Realm. On the way, they are hounded by the ineffectual lemon sheriff, who speaks in mad prophecies that (though they never sorted this out) actually explained what it was that they had to do. Naturally the Paladin thought it was an evil creature, and poured water on it. He slowly dissolved and died horribly, lamenting that he lacked bones and could not be a part of the Bone Throne of Baphomet. After fighting some more bees and discovering a river of blood, they entered the vegetable realm. Whilst I did put an enormous beet forest of mystery in their path (Full of traps, riddles, a sphynx) the party simply decided to inflate their green sheep-creatures and fly over it. Entering the Halls of the Potato King, they discovered a box that was to contain a random NPC from the starting town who was spirited into this realm. Now, I have a habit of making at least one inconsequential NPC have hidden, unreasonably overpowered stats. In this case it was the blacksmith, "Hard" Tom. He has a challenge rating of 21, but will not help the party intentionally by virtue of being incredibly stubborn and not terrifically bright. They rolled a d100, and actually got the angry ultra-powerful blacksmith (as opposed to the harmless librarian or oddball mayor). It was perfect distraction for them to infiltrate the fortress, as he utterly laid waste to the veggie hordes in a confused rage. The last they saw of him he was beating an animated cauliflower to death with a hammer. The only instance of them eating the candy people was one of the Paladin's retainers, for whom the effect will take a day to actually happen. The little gumdrop giggled as he did so. What this means is that they may very well leave the Candy Realm and go somewhere else, only for this person to start growing Toffee Tumours and vomiting sentient sweets before dying horribly. The session ended with the party confronting the Potato King, an unwilling servant of a horrifying Borg-like gestalt Archdevil. The Druid's final threat of the day was "I'm going to make you into fries." They also convinced the wild mage NPC to try and plane shift them out of there, which only opened another destructive hole in time and space. I will continue this story later in the thread, if you are interested. This will likely be the third town/city this party has sort-of maybe intentionally wrecked horribly.

I want to make a D&D3.5/PF character with the See in Darkness ability, purely with the intention of quoting Bane when someone uses the Darkness or Deeper Darkness spells. [editline]29th July 2015[/editline] [video=youtube;F157geaXp_w]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F157geaXp_w[/video]

My favourite trick is to become the greatest climber in the universe and then use a ranged weapon.

[QUOTE=The Jack;48325815]My favourite trick is to become the greatest climber in the universe and then use a ranged weapon.[/QUOTE] It's pretty easy to make a alchemist that can fly in Pathfinder, by like level 6 you're basically a gunship with a bunch of crowd control abilities.

So, in today's session our group were bailing a thief out of jail in return for some information. The master plan was this: The Monk takes the Bard hostage at gun point who starts screaming which accidentally causes our ex-military Fighter to have PTSD and curl up on the floor crying, who then proceeds to get punted out of the way by the Town Guard opening the door to investigate the disturbance. Dragonborn Rogue sneaks inside in the confusion and replaces the prisoner with a bindle of sticks that barely even resemble the prisoner, and uses the Fighter waking up and struggling with the Monk for possession of the gun to escape. Later, when the Guard returns, the Fighter wants to interview the prisoner (he has no idea the prisoner has been replaced), and the Guard rolls a Natural 1 on noticing the fact ALL the doors in the prison have been unlocked, and then mistakes the bindle of sticks for the actual prisoner, only noticing the swap when he brought it into the interview room to start questioning. The Guard then runs out, screaming at his own stupidity while the Prisoner is safe and sound.

Decided the stuff I'm making for my campaign setting, I'm gonna actually start uploading somewhere people can make use of it while I'm working 'cause you guys r gr8. None of my players use facepunch either so none of them can snoop on the game ahead of time, thank god. By stuff I mean all the enemies I'm doing, the gods I'm putting together and also the rest of the planets worth of races and factions because fuck doing things by halves. Anything that's statted will be statted for Pathfinder as that's what I'm going to be running in it, but obviously all the fluff can be used in whatever system you like. It's hopefully going to be a pretty damn big thing, which is why I want to make bits useable as they're finished rather than making people wait for a finished thing that might be christ knows how far away. everything will be freely useable and adaptable, just do go parading it around as your own stuff k thanks

It's not the worst book I have, I've also read FATAL and Black Tokyo

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;48332330]It's not the worst book I have, I've also read FATAL and Black Tokyo[/QUOTE] Now, we all read FATAL, but what is Black Tokyo?

[QUOTE=gufu;48332818]Now, we all read FATAL, but what is Black Tokyo?[/QUOTE] Fun.

[QUOTE=gufu;48332818]Now, we all read FATAL, but what is Black Tokyo?[/QUOTE] From what I searched on 1d4Chan that I'm ready regretting, it's a basically a P&P version of BSM/demon tentacle hentai with a class based entirely around menstruation and lactation with magic date rape drugs and machine guns that are more powerfully when shooting at rapists, also a demon dildo that can reanimate corpses and used them as undead minions. Overall, it's some fuck up shit.

I'm still confused by Shadow Run firing modes. Let's say I fire on full auto mode, so I'm shooting 10 bullets, do i have to add any mods, or is the gm who has to add the penalty to the enemy defense?

The defender gets a penalty of one less than the number of bullets you're firing at them to defense, so with a full 10 bullet full auto, they're dealing with a -9 defense modifier.

What are some things I can use for character tokens since I can't afford the billions of dollars it costs to buy a bunch of figures? Was thinking of ordering a bag of buttons off of Amazon, but I'm still unsure.

Lego, small toys, whatever you like. It's really handy if you have any friends into something maddeningly expensive like Warhammer to use their minis for it since they look nice (presumably) and fit the squares nicely but using pieces from board games or small bits of paper work too.

Friends with Warhammer figurines are the rarest shit though. Getting a sizable amount is equal to bankrupting a small country, and then there's stuff like THIN YOUR PAINTS making it on the table.

man thinking up optional traits for my races is fun like it's expanding the world fluffwise and rules wise [I]at the same time[/I]

So, I'm working on "Totally Not X-Com VS Magical Girls" setting again, and I am wondering if I should use my own d10-based system or if I should instead just make it as a tie in to Magical Burst, with additional gameplay elements.
