[QUOTE=Nerts;51050378]Any combat system that's turn based is going to be unrealistic, it's better if they just admit it and roll with what works for the style they're going for[/QUOTE] As long as I'm still allowed to make fun of it [editline]14th September 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=Regularjoe;51050653]Hell with realism.

[QUOTE=Nerts;51050788]It's just the dub, it doesn't take as long to say in Japanese[/QUOTE] As someone that religiously watches Jojo I can confirm they will stand still posing for twenty or thirty seconds at a time in the middle of a fight to monologue in the original dub And like shit DIO stopped time for only nine seconds. It was way longer.

If you don't want your guys to be going to the absolute extreme with overstretched actions per round maybe you should, you know, limit them via mechanics and GM fiat? I know that speed and the ability to do lots and lots of things is [I]super important[/I] in games like Shadowrun, but when you're willing to sacrifice the pacing of a game just to score some mad hits on every one of your targets, I think it's time to scale things back a little and drop the ridiculously dangerous overuse of wired networking and combat drugs. Or just have the PCs overheat and die spazzing out on the floor after fighting for too long. The whole idea of consistent time per turn is pretty arbitrary, however; It'd make more sense if everything was just described in time it takes to complete turns, than time in seconds. Like how D&D sometimes says that a thing lasts 1d6 minutes instead of 10d6 turns. I've only seen tabletop games do that, really.

I remember I once built a phys adept focused on moving quickly(in both initiative and movement speed) so I could put out as much damage as possible without using weapons(I had brass knuckles, but never used them, and a stun glove, which I used when I wanted to be as non-lethal as possible, but otherwise I just punched people bare-handed). I got 3 turns per round, on average(IIRC I had 11+5d6 for initiative). Then the GM decided to simplify initiative into literally just D&D-style "one turn per round, start with the highest and go down", without much of a discussion. I went from a competitive combat character to the weakest member of the party. [editline]14th September 2016[/editline] I'm actually still sad that game ended shortly after, because I really liked my character. [sp]He was a poor(Low lifestyle) guy who started taking care of his younger brother after their parents died in a car crash. His name was Massimo, but he went by Maserati, because he was so fast.[/sp] :v:

[editline]15th September 2016[/editline] Haven't seen [URL="http://inkarnate.com/"]Inkarnate[/URL] posted around here (I haven't looked though either, so there's that). It's a little free browser based tool for making a specific style of fantasy world maps and isn't complicated to use. Also has support for making the map out of hexes, if you want the map to be more mechanical than pretty.

I was looking through some old R20 logs because i was feeling nostalgic and had a good laugh, since there were some quotes in there that were great when taken out of context: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/0rgtem1.png[/IMG] Post your out of context quotes.

[t]http://i.imgur.com/hZeJzcj.png[/t] Not even one of the top out-of-context quotes from the game, but it was the first one I came across that I could get an easy screenshot of.

[quote]Does the king of elves have Skype?[/quote] [sp]he didn't[/sp] [quote]How does the skeleton liquor taste?[/quote] [sp]bad[/sp]

These aren't all from games, we just have a general 'shit we've said out of context' folder, but these probably(?) are :v: [QUOTE] Cynthia Nystrom - Today at 11:55 PM the natural predator of the halfling is in fact the pedophile [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] Aror - Today at 1:43 PM What about that time I ran over like 40 horses with a jet I didn't crash that plane well except into 40 horses [/QUOTE] [QUOTE] 8:34 PM - Seruh Sunkenship: ((My poopdeck shines.))

How could you dwarfy that place is a sacred shrine to all the worst of late-night roleplay shitposting how could you show such a thing to these nonbelievers

"you are worst nightmare"

[QUOTE]you guys are the worst party[/QUOTE] [QUOTE]and I didn't even reach 1st session[/QUOTE] I think you can guess what brought the DM to say this [sp]memes[/sp]

guy was missing for a session decided to roll like, a couple things to explain how he reconnects with squad first navigate, stealth (b/c stealth mission) then dodge if stealth is fucked. roll damage if dodge fucked. fail on one stealth and roll what type of gun is ork big shoota roll for dodge. he fail dodge. roll for damage and [IMG]https://i.gyazo.com/846be10bcef8c295f4d30db656c467fd.png[/IMG] with shit negated he still has 8 crit damage to the fucking head which means his head snaps about and he dies immediately [I]in the arms of the angels[/I]

[QUOTE=Destroyox;51057409]I think you can guess what brought the DM to say this [sp]memes[/sp][/QUOTE] It's tragic because even after disaster proofing every possible situation, I'm 90% sure that something will go horribly wrong every session. At least it'll carry an important lesson about safe sex. Probably.

[editline]15th September 2016[/editline] If you roll anything at all, that is.

At the very worst he should be captured. Having him show up in a critical state to warn the others might be more interesting plot-wise and not punish the guy for missing the session.

yeah, after he revoked the "no kill me" and went with "i miss him pls gib bak" we negotiated that his Comrade got the head snap and instead he got like 7 wounds taken from him to be healed from the medicae. on the other hand, i now have a go on the plot and wanna have it so that they're fighting orks fighting each others. blood axes allied with severan dominate against Goffs while down south there's a free for all of speed freekz, flash gitz, severan dominate and imperial guard it'll be fun having the squad freak out because some Blood Axe kommandos come in asking if they're allied with them

[QUOTE=Usernameztaken;51059320]Do you have more stories about this than just that one you replied to[/QUOTE] About FPers or f-list? :v: It's not the first time someone in this thread's made an underaged character in Shadowrun, and a few other things people have done, like that guy that blackmailed people into letting him rape their daughters in a D&D game.

[QUOTE=EXPLOOOSIONS!;51056579]Post your out of context quotes.[/QUOTE] I posted a quote on Facebook from a game last year, and I can't for the life of me remember the context. It popped back up on that yearly review thing they do. [Quote]"On a scale of 10 to albino, how bad is your Swim skill?"[/quote] Now that I'm rereading it though, it think it was during a one-off where my friend played Elric.

A few of our group's quotes made it on the Out of Context D&D tumblr Here's one from a friends' session: The tragic death scene of a gnome bard Wizard: It’s like going to a funeral for someone else’s cat. Cleric: She was MY CAT! And here's one from the same session after I joined near the end. DM: “There is a horse sleeping on the other side of the room. He dreamed the entire universe you were just in.” Me: “I throw a Javelin at it.”

"A bullet has someone's name on it, but 20kg of ANFO is more 'To Whom it may concern'."

"I'm gonna make sheep dance in the cleric's fire"

DM: The man calls out for healing aid from the cleric. Me: I axe him in the face. While looting his corpse, we found a certificate of royalty. Whoops.
