[QUOTE=Rubs10;47836570]I award XP for overcoming an encounter. Whether you charm your way around guards or kill them is up to you.[/QUOTE]
What if you do both, charm your way past and then come by to kill them?
[QUOTE=Chronische;47836596]What if you do both, charm your way past and then come by to kill them?[/QUOTE]
Still only 1 encounter.
[QUOTE=Rats808;47836727]Still only 1 encounter.[/QUOTE]
What if it is split up between sessions, like (for instance) they talk their way past door guards at a fortress, deal with the fortress, end session. Next session decide to butcher everyone, just in case.
What are some sci fi rpgs that have cool races included that you can play
So this is going to be interesting.
My office Pathfinder game fell apart before the first session (three out of the five are burned out on fantasy from other games they're in), so we're planning a switch to Black Crusade.
Myself and another guy are planning to trade off GM duties. We'll agree beforehand on basic plot points, but we'll switch GM and player duties pretty much every session, unless we have some multi-session arc planned. Afterward whoever did GM duties will debrief with the other, explaining any hidden plot points that didn't get explained to the other, so we can keep it consistent, but during the game proper, we'll have basically no knowledge of what is actually being planned.
That way, we get the proper player experience, but will have extra chaos both as game masters (since we can throw new elements in whenever we want that the other has to incorporate), and as a player (since we'll both be playing the same character).

So, Tzeentch trying to orchestrate a plan with Tzeentch assisting him?
so in our session last night, one of our party members, a satyr cleric, seduced an orc guard into opening his cell, walking in, and undoing his anti-magic collar, then proceeded to vaporize him. he then proceeded to rip out his heart, eat a bit of it, then paint "TALOS" on the walls of the prison
good times
One of my friends who plays D&D with me very much annoys me, his character lost everything today and his family was put into poverty but instead of dealing with it, he just crumples up his sheet and has a hissy fit over it while saying his character kills themselves on the spot. In fairness, the cause of all this was our designated DM using a "deck of many things" completely at random, but still.
Playing with him would seriously be awful if his fits weren't so much as annoying as they are funny.

If they want to grind and they put in the effort to overcome both challenges, then sure? Still lameass murderhobos

The proper way to play anything fey related.

I have a guy in my group who no joke made a gnome paladin named Link. (hurr durr zelduh im so oregano content donut steel) He carried a trident and argued with me for almost 30 minutes on the logistics of how he would be able to pin someone to the ground with the trident ( he rolled a 20 and I let it happen as such) and somehow attack another guy the next turn with it. No, you asked to pin a guy, you can't fucking pull the trident free from the rock floor and have time to attack still.
His other character later died because he tried to grab a cliff edge as he slid off while wearing mittens. The campaign was happening in a pretty warm climate and it was summer as I had described. Who wears mittens in summer? He rolled a 20 but I ruled that rule of fucking retarded upped the DC beyond his max roll by one.
So I mean, pick your battles. Guy sounds like a complete twat though. GM should kick him out.
If you're curious, link (Fucking shitbag) was impaled on a barrel of "gay ass 3 pronged pitchforks".

Isn't the first rule of the Deck of Many Things not to use it?
Shadowrun is one of the least realistic RPGs ever, dragons, cyberzombies, magic, a united Ireland, what were they on?
Why are Americans soo stupid?

Clearly, Warhammer is the most over the top setting. D&D as such only skirted the edges of sci fi and magic both, and said clearly in the rulebooks that allowing 'magitek' would be too 'unbalanced.' Though this is for the individual DM to decide anyway.

He's such a pissbaby it's ridiculous, when I was DMing he was killed and reincarnated as a halfling which we rolled for fair and square.
He then proceeded to flip shit and go on about he would kill himself, which he did and was then reincarnated again as a high elf which he was ok with.
We can't kick him out because he's been a friend to everyone in the group including me for a long-ass time and we're a fairly small group as it is.

No no no, anyone with half a brain knows terrorists don't need to be brown.
They just need to be non-white.

Well, Tolkienian Elvish dialects were based on Welsh and Finnish, not Irish-Gaelic.

They're all equally garbled, so you might as well claim it's Hungarian and nobody would notice.
Tolkien was really in love with language, he knew his shit.
Coincidentally, Elvish and Irish are the two languages I'd really love to learn.
I experience this kind of dread rage whenever we're expected to SHARE loot. Ya know, When everyone's like 'I'll take his ring, I'l take the amulet. I'll take the rapier' and you're all like: I stabilized half of you so you didn't die, I was the only one who didn't fuck himself over with wounds by doing stupid things,I'm the healthiest guy here I ruined the enemy ritual before they could complete it, I'm going to throw my own piss over the corpse to mark my territory, and finally I'm ROYALTY goddamnit'
and they're all like 'nope, we're dividing the loot this way.'
(chosen way doesn't benefit the party)
and all they leave you with what should be your third suit of armour (that you're going to have to recraft because it's for a female drider), this one enchanted with evil.
You should never rush a game.

Yeah seriously I don't get the joke? I thought Ireland broke free of British rule when we helped them out in our own Revolutionary War/French Revolution? Lol why do they even have terrorists?

Ireland got some assistance from American Irish organizations in the Easter Rising 1916 and later broke free after the Irish War of Independence but a border was drawn up to divide 6 of the Ulster counties from the rest.
Fast forward to late 1960s-90s when the IRA and British fought over the border with Republicans/Nationalists wanting a United Ireland.
Ha ha, I pranked you guys into thinking I was a dumb Yankee doodle! This was a social experiment!
Although I honestly didn't know that Americans actually went to fight in Ireland during the Easter Uprising, though given the supernatural amount of Irish here that's not even surprising.
