Also wouldn't the air in a sewer be really damp and stagnant? It's likely torches would be harder to light 'cus of the moisture and lower than normal oxygen (due to lack of air circulation and bacteria consuming o2 as they break down the poop), in which case explosions probably wouldn't happen that easily.

Though if the guy had just entered the sewer through a manhole to the surface or something, that would probably let oxygen in. Still tho, kinda a dick move.
Is it too late to apply for the Goblin Hotel?
I can do an excellent screechy goblin voice
Is it wrong for me to hate it when people tell me to just DM a game myself when I can't find a group to join?
I want to be a player, not the DM.

I know how you feel. I was hyped as fuck when I was able to convince the GM for my Werewolf game to try running Mage.

That doesn't even make sense, DMing and playing are so different.
I think the point is to create interest in the game.
Many people just aren't interested in systems until they try em out.
Ah shoot, so apparently the goblin hotel isn't happening for at least a few months... god I want to play a game though.
Im surprised everyone is so strapped for games, ive got -too many- honestly
[editline]30th January 2016[/editline]
Though I guess my gms are also psychotics and push themselves to the brink of insanity running games

I think the problem some GMs have, including myself, is they always want to do too many games in too many different systems, and end up running like, 3 games a week, and then burning themselves out too quickly.
i still want to play a game too. DMing is fun and all, but man I want to play again
If anyone is feeling like DM'ing anything at all, now is the time, you'll get a flood of players.
God, being an illusionist is so fun. So basically, i'm playing d&d 5e as an anthromorphic shark wizard with a halfling druid with 8 health at level 3 and a anthro cat ranger (we were being a bit silly with these characters), and we enter a trading town. So my guy wants to interact with the scholars around this town, and he tries to persuade people to tell him where he can find him. Several failed persuasion rolls later, he ends up pissing off a woman and she gets furious with him, screaming at him and this attracts the guards attention. He uses his improved minor illusion to create a giant spider to distract the guards, and rolls a 1 on deception while doing so. He then escapes, rolling a 20 for stealth and gathers the other two and suggests they get the fuck out of here. Rumors quickly spread of a shark who attacked a villager, and guards start searching. When they try to leave, the come across a group of guards monitoring people who are leaving the town, so he uses his illusion to create a drunken man screaming at the guards, which catches all their attention EXCEPT one, who rolls a 1 on his investigation. He gets right in the shark dudes face, lets him pass and says "man, that guy is really fishy."
All that buildup to a pun. Amazing.
So our magical blood frenzy helmet is actually possessed by the spirit of a gnome warrior. A gnome warrior whose rage was so unbound that it can entirely overtake our half-orc and basically turn him into an instrument of its destruction. A gnome piloting a half orc. A gnome like gno other.
The DM actually has a D6 on hand which he rolls for a corresponding effect. Todays effect involved the "helmet calling to you" in combat. It caused a vivid hallucination for the wearer where they were the gnome fighting a human, with damage being rolled every time the gnome hit his opponent. Once the vision settled it was revealed that the half orc had wracked up 34 points of damage and turned a giant attacking ant into a big pile of mulch.
It's a pretty cool helmet.

Oh don't worry, can't tell you how many times our group of like 6 had 4 games running at once

My solution to that feeling is to try and funnel all that creativity into one game
Which is why Shadowrun is great, because every cool fantasy idea can be done, then upgraded with laser-sighted miniguns, and every scifi idea can be done and supplemented with hostile mages
Plus it can be both stupidly grimdark and ridiculously anime, possibly even at the same time if I try hard enough
Week Two of my struggle.
Players continue to want to play Dungeons and Dragons, my Degenesis and Call of Cthulhu books lie dormant.

Easy, have them roll up fantasy characters for CoC but tell them its an interesting fantasy system you found
carry on like a typical dnd campaign, chip away at their sanity as you slowly reveal it all to be a fever dream instilled by the glorious king in yellow

Less they don't want to play other settings, more we don't have the time to do more than one campaign and they're too attached to our current DnD one.
Plus, me living in Australia means no online games for me either.

Just do what I do and work weird hours, then your schedule us min-maxed for tabletops
Check out my shitty map I made:

It's better than a lot of maps I've seen.
Algredia, the smallest land of them all!
Is the area up north unknown, too?

It's just too cold/mountainous to inhabit.
And yeah it's hella small lol.
It looks like as if a Medieval European drew a map of India from secondhand accounts .
i'd 100% change the font on "tempest bluff" but otherwise looks great

Either Shoe Lake has no inlet river, or your river splits. Rivers don't split.
yes they do
Just ran my first group as DM ever. Protagonists lost part of their souls, a warlock lost his hand, a kenku ran off with two women in tow and there was an eulogy for a month-old corpse. Looking forward to the future!
