Yeah, but at least we weren't playing The Sims in a bunker, or stabbing hostages in a fit of autistic rage :v:

I must know more of this fighter and his *ahem* conquests.
[QUOTE=Sunkite;49411519]I think the weirdest moment so far was in my game when said That Guy had a druid, who would run up to the group transformed as a Giant Hyena, proceed to get close and lick one of them.
Resulting in said Hyena getting an asswhooping, which he couldn't understand why they'd do that.
And he also got extremely mad when I said a Chimera was following him and he kept saying "no..I will hide in the bush!"
Which is allright, not that it helps, but you can't dictate whether or not the Chimera will follow you to said bush, thats my damn job. :v:

tbh that's not as bad as how most weird people play orcs (by giving them high grapple-related statistics)
Just picked up Mutant: Year Zero today and it looks like Apocalypse World if Apocalypse World had a bit more depth to the game side of it.
The rules for city building (if you can call a settlement with ~200 people in it a city) are pretty cool, although I think I'll be turning down the grimdarkness of it, if for no other reason than I don't like fiction where the premise is "humanity is irrevocably, irredeemably fucked, here is the story of its last 3 years of existence".
I really need to find more 5e games to play in. I just like the system too much :I
Pals,
I'm running out of the abyss soon, but I want to have a little intro story/poem because I think anticipation with these things (none of them have ever been in the underdark, or played any of the traditional DnD world) is the most important thing.
Anyone willing to have a go to spin a tale of how dangerous the underdark is? Bonus points for...
1. Including an elf that gets trapped.
2. Extreme rhymes.
Big ask I know, I could do it myself but I think it means more to have a person from the internet do it.
There once was an elf named Lig.
Who liked to dig and dig.
He dug down below.
Before meeting the Drow.
Who fed him to a giant spider, holy fuck.

this would be perfect if i didn't pronounce drow as drr-ow
i'm still going to read it out though, if anyone else has anything that'd be great - I'll do a quick blast of poems/stories
There once was an elf named Morgan.
A bard of the flute and the organ.
He went underground.
And found himself bound.

Confirming consequences are the shit
consequences are okay, but they don't have anything on Full-Life Consequences
Full-Life Consequences (and Halfway to Destruction) is such a fucking good title and i wish i could steal it for something
[QUOTE=elowin;49420164]consequences are okay, but they don't have anything on Full-Life Consequences[/QUOTE]
Full-Life Consequences is when you either completely fuck up or completely ace the rolls in Edge of The Empire and games with similar dice systems.
I also had a recent OW game with consequences and one of the party members was confined to a Chimera's roof for half of the campaign due to a complete lack of surgical personnel in the area we operated in. He did however end up picking the longest straw after it turned out the whole party would suffer a worse fate.

I am so ready for my first "real" game of D&D 5e. Can't wait for saturday to come around. Hopefully no one bothers me that day.
I get to play an Arcane Trickster Rogue. The only thing I'm unsure about is, I think everyone else is playing really evil characters since we all follow a Lich. And my gnome rogue is CG. I just hope it doesn't turn into a "kill innocent people because lawl i'm evil" kind of thing. That will get old really fast.
Heres what happened in the last two sessions of D&D 4E
My character (goliath warden) was enrolled in a Amateurs tourney against two other people while the other people go and run arrands. Start of the round I go and grab one guy, roll athletics (27 total?) and throw him out of the stadium, done. Second guy comes up to me, stubs his toe on my foot, my turn comes around and I suplex him, breaking his arms. The fight is over in every bit of 10 seconds. I take my prize and I'm invited to another tourney in a month.
Everyone's done running their errands so I went to the tavern. Before then I asked the best blacksmith (NPC) in the city out for a round of beer and food at the tavern.
In this universe, "burgers" dont exist, so I had to describe it, I ordered 100.
The master blacksmith took one bite, and proceeded to mow down them uncontrollably, at the end of the night he passed out at the table with my character.
The DM described the followig morning as "the birds were chirping, the sun was out, and then there was a small explosion, followed by a brown haze". The goliath blew the toilet up, nothing left. Just a mound of shit. The party mage bottles the brown haze, and through a good bluff rolls sells it for 20gp as some sort of monster breath.
We were tasked by the king to retrive a tome from a mage in his tower, so naturally we go and check the tower out. After the thief makes quick work of the locks we find out its filled to the brim with traps. What do the two Goliaths do? They rip every single god damn trap up, floor tiles, spikes, magic crossbows, everything.
Get to the mage, he tells us to get the desert beast's most valuable possession. So we say "smell ya later" and head northward in the desert to find the bastard.
We come up to a shrine with lizards and dragonborn, kill all of them in the most brutal way possible and interrogate the last one by using their leaders skull like a sick form of sock puppet (Goliath barbarian for ya). He fills us in that the Beast travels by sandstorm, and it enjoys savoring the taste of things so they present it with offerings of exotic foods.
Sandstorm approaches, we attempt to hide, turns out the beast is a brown dragon. We're all level 1, 2, 2, 3, 3 and idk maybe another person or two so we say "fuck this" and teleport out
The one mage says "I want to teleport him with me"
Rolls a 20
The dragon gets teleported with him, to the main city
Inside the castle
Next to the king
Our main group went to another town, stocked up, grabbed our best friend blacksmith from that town, and went back to the main city to help kill this bastard.
The next D&D session was pretty much throwing everything single thing we had at the dragon and then some. 3 characters die, 6 or 8 NPC guards die, the king almost dies, the barbarian gets swallowed after stomping on the dragon and having his leg get stuck and going down to 1 last saving throw.
Deep breath!
My character going to 2 hp, 2 other characters going unconcious, the dragon getting lit on fire, pissed on by a mini dragon, the theif taking 10 perception checks and 3 nature checks to located the dragons "balls" and trying to hit them with arrows, the dragon losing its sense of taste from a random potion (really pissed him off), then after I go and get my master blacksmith friend he saves ALL OF OUR ASSES with a mass heal and proceeds to roll a natural 20 with a vorpal greatsword. Splitting the dragon clean in half, cutting the barbarians left arm and leg off in the process.
We loot what we can, get the dragon delivered to the market district, and proceed to harvest what we can all the while throwing pretty well a massive festival in the crafts district to gain massive renown. The barbarian gets a peg leg and orders some magic arm and leg things, I order a huge spiked chain to be made of the dragons spine, teeth, horns, claws, whatever! Its bitchin, and its enchanted to ensnare, or so that was the plan when I get it in a month game time. Also a suit of armor made out of whatever else I split from the dragon.
My character also ate the dragons heart, and took its balls. So I took the 3 dragon testicles to some whackjob gnome and he said he'd be able to do some crazy shit with them if I can get im the materials.
And thats where we left off!

Did they try the 'potions' they purchased from the respectable manin the alley
Gone to check out the new 5e Expedition adventures and instead of on WotC's own servers, they're hosted on a Dropbox account.
I'm not even joking.
How to ruin a threatening encounter for the DM in Pathfinder:
Step 1: Be a Gunslinger with Quickdraw
Step 2: Create a large amount of Black Powder Barrels (5d6 damage for 100 gold each) and stick them in your bag of holding
Step 3: Have your wizard create a stack of Explosive runes on pieces of paper
Step 4: Apply adhesive to back of runes and stick to powder barrels
Step 5: Toss barrels at hoards of skeletons as a standard action
Step 6: Look at barrels as a swift action
Step 7: Skeletons explode for 11d6 damage per barrel
Step 8: Repeat steps 5 - 7 every turn, enjoy being useful as a gunslinger for once.
Step 9: Profit!
Our tabletop group was playing the elemental evil campaign for a while, but once we got to the feather gale spire the game sort of fell apart. We had originally cleared out Lance rock as a new base of operations, but then moved into the spire, selling off excess hippogryphs and putting up ads in red larch for new members of our gang. We started doing bombing runs on the nearby water fortress and blaming it on the earth cult, and then ended up having them both swarm the tower and attack us all.
We swapped to changeling after that session, and that game didn't go much better.
DND 4e Rules question about temp hp stacking.
When a Barbarian kills multiple enemies it gains temp hp due to rageblood vigor and if it uses a power that kills multiple enemies Rage of the Crimson Hurricane
Rageblood vigor
"When the barbarian reduces an enemy to 0 hit points with an attack, the barbarian gains temporary hit points. The number of temporary hit points at 1st level is equal to the barbarian's Constitution modifier"
Do temp stack if they are from 1 source/power?

Temp HP generally stacks, but you always lose it before actual HP and in 4e I think you lose it all at the end of the encounter as well.
[QUOTE=Rents;49435253]Temp HP generally stacks, but you always lose it before actual HP and in 4e I think you lose it all at the end of the encounter as well.[/QUOTE]
No, they don't stack. I don't think they stack even if you get them from two different sources, just the highest one applies. At least in 3e and Pathfinder, but I would assume similar principles apply in 4e.
Christ, if they did stack, just imagine a sorcerer stacking like twenty False Life and Greater False Life spells on himself. His health would end up way higher than a Barbarian, especially once he starts stacking Empowered, Maximized and Empowered+Maximized versions of them.
In our 4e campaign we assumed it stacked, however it's gone at the end of the encounter.
Temp HP is something I actually miss from 4e.
