Tell me about the Night Land. What makes it such a difficult environment for survival?
>>56861890I don't want to be all 'dragons exist so why does X need to be realistic', but why does it matter that the stellar physics is right?I feel like the symbolism of the sun and stars having burnt out and plunging the world into darkness is the most important thing. It isn't the same if they're just mistaken and the sun is totally fine.
>>56862054How about the earth, for what ever reason, is ejected from the solar system and is drifting ever further into the interstellar blackness?
>>56861852>>56861890>>56862054Many of the "expanded universe" stories written after we figured out how starts work have explained away this discrepancy by saying that the sun did NOT reach the end of its natural life cycle, but that it was prematurely fed upon by certain unimaginably huge manifestations of the Dark Powers.Meanwhile, Greg Bear's spiritual successor "The City at the End of the World" is set in roughly the year 100 Trillion. The Sun has been artificially rekindled several times, but there are no longer enough resources to keep it up.
>>56845284Stop reading it as soon as possible. Its terrible. The setting might be cool but the writingstyle is absolutely atrocious and it is easily 70% too long for what is happening.
The way that /TG/ talks about the Night Land is literally the most reddit thing on this message board.It's almost Usenet level cringe.

Previous Thread ---> >>56810508Maphttps://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=2658308#Pastebinhttps://pastebin.com/3ZbrVRMu> If you could ask for any one board game for the holidays (no matter how expensive or how long out of print it was) and be guaranteed to get it, what game would you ask for?> If you just HAD to buy the 'That Guy' in your life a board game for the holidays, what game would you give them in order to "piss in their corn-flakes"?
>>56861819Dungeon Roll and Munchkin are the only two I actively regret buying
>>56850879>>56850473>>56849902>>56849866>>56848434Thanks for the suggestions lads. This has helped a lot. Looked up all these games and gotten some ideas now.Skull looks great cause I don't have to buy anything and it fits with Bullshit which they already like. Camel Up also seems to fit the bill. A lot of the others look like they would work too.People seem to think King of Tokyo is less complex than King of New York so I might try and find that.Yeah again, thanks for the suggestions. I wan't to have a more engaging christmas where we don't all just watch shit tv so I'm going to have as many board games as possible on the table for them to choose.
>>56861819>buyers remorseMunchkin: at least I get some play out of it to the contrary of...Illuminaty: was young, didn't know any better and was memed hard into buying it. Never played it.Trains: the normie repelent. Get to play it only 2 times since I bought it. Good game but ugly and with the worst theme.
>>56861819>Cosmic EncounterNo idea why this is enjoying continued support, the different races are the only interesting part and of these 70% are boring or straight up bad.>Star Wars ArmadaI do/did like the game, but it costs too much and is just extremely frustrating losing a 2 1/2 game by rolling bad on a single roll>SaboteurSeemed like a fast and fun traitor game, turned out to be more of a loose packet without much decision making and badly aged mechanics
>>56861663Why did you buy something and THEN ask what you're in for?
To talk about Mecha wargames or Rpgs, your own campaigns and ideas or simply to talk about big stompy robots.Part one: >>56725520
>>56862095KNIVES.Because ranged combat is for pussies.
>>56862666What kind of knives tough.I can imagine Vibroblades,metallic ones, ceramic ones, Chain-knife, dulled knife, Knuckleduster/knife combo, Switchblades (in the arms or carried), gravity knives, stuff like kerambits/push-knives and all those kinds of cosmetic blades, ballistic knives, combo knife/taser etc without going Super Science (or SS).Super science ones like laser or Plasma ones, monomolecular/monofilament or whatever.
>>56863246>dulled knifeYeah, for some reason people don't seem big on taking butter knives to shankfest.>Vibroblades>without going Super Science (or SS).No. But you do get points for realising the monomolecular stuff belongs on the "meaningless technobabble" pile at least.
>>56863340You need to practice anon, that's why I put a dulled knife there. Also a vibro blade could be like one of those Hand-saws, they vibrate and make the cut easier, but the blades break with ease, and you need a very big handle in proportion. I'm also going for the rule of cool a bit, so any silly weapon it's welcomed (dildos, whips etc are included).
>>56862095>there are factions than use stuff like Plasma weapons and stuff but are expensive and needs huge amounts of power and maintenance. Not really. A plasma weapon is just a big plasma cutting torch.
>Meanwhile On Demon Hunter /tg/Alright Hunters, with Christmas coming up, Wild Spirits creeping out of the woodwork, the workload growing ever more stressing and the world trying to handle all of the 'new supernatural phenomena cropping up, it's been decided that we need a vacation. A major, extended vacation that won't see us home for quite a while.And by "Vacation", I mean an Interdimensional/Inter-Universal roadtrip. Strap in tightly Hunters, it's gonna be a long ride.
>>56863320>Christ. I think offically you are the cancer killing TG but then again were starting to end up like a tire fire.Your poor english makes you look like an even bigger mongoloid than you already are
>>56863368Ok. Still if you guys have a problem with these threads then leave, were not bothering anyone except you shit posters.

>>56862432Think how much space you want to cover in the real world. Next town over? Cross-country? Cross-continent? Around the world? Use a tool like this to get a good idea.https://www.daftlogic.com/projects-google-maps-distance-calculator.htmNow just add a sensible scale marker on your fantasy map!
>>56858497For some reason it makes me think of a kid's storybook idea of what the galaxy is like and what the politics might be.The stars are necessary. It looks way better than the circle blob.
>>56862432Grovers. A grover is an indeterminant distance between 'near' and 'far'. It takes as many grovers to get to where the players are going as dictated by the plot. The issue you are having is that the distances involved are not powered by plot but by would-be-realism. Unfortunately, this is a mistake - most distances traveled are BORING. Unless there are armies, villages, or situations, it is best to accept that the distance traveled is largely uneventful unless events should happen as needed by plot. Why is it called a grover? Well......https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZhEcRrMA-M
>>56851465Huh i guess yeah.
>>56858090>>56858497>>56860868>>56862563Galaxy map anon again. I'm naming some worlds, and I want to go with a theme. Trouble is, I don't know what to go with. At first I just thought about naming new worlds after important sounding Nouns (ala Halo) or Legendary Lands and Cities (Shambala, Atlantis, Illya, etc). But now I'm not sure.If Earth became a COMPLETELY unlivable hellhole, what would we name our last desperate refuge planets when we flee to them?
So, one of my female players that I DM for are going to run a "Girls Only" D&D game next week. However I've been invited as the only male participant among 4 female PCs and the female DM.The reason is that it's her first time DM'ing and she wants someone experienced (me) to take charge in case the group of newbs get stuck, or whatever.I was thinking of playing "Chad Thundercock - Paladin Extraordinaire!" and have a bit of fun with it, since the girls are all going to be playing female characters and I'll be the only male one. But I am open to suggestions on how to make it more fun.I don't want to fuck her game up. She's a good person and I don't want the new players to feel like shit either so only answer if you're not a /pol/ shill or haven't kissed a girl even though you're 20+ years old.
>>56857861Seconding this. It would be a bad first impression to a lot of people.>"Hey I invited a guy to Girls Only D&D">"...okay, I hope he's not some weird sex pest.">"HI I'M CHAD THUNDERCOCK AND I'M HERE TO COLLECT YOUR VIRGINITY"Also maybe go with something like 'Richard L. Hardwicke' or the above mentioned 'Rooster Chadburn' or 'Magnus von Starkhammer' etc etc.
>>56860535Just for the record, the last D&D table I played was 3 girls one guy.A lot of crossplaying though.
>>56850238I don't know, man. This seems like you really should play a fairly normal, low-key PC. You don't want to be as obnoxious as possible in a game like this. Like, just point everyone in the right direction.
>>56850238Dude, go a female character because it's a girls only game, they'd fucking love that; or hell, make Chad a trans female to male.You can make her hella lesbo tho
>>56851104What did anon post
What's your opinion on MYFAROG? Most coverage of the system seems to be that it's inherently bad because Varg Vikernes
I bought it because I liked the idea of owning a clearly small press home made rpg that was written by a convicted murderer/church burner who has also released some good black metal. I'll admit it's kind of like being star struck but I won't defend the game's mechanics. Varg made this game for him, not for other people. I'm positive every optional rule makes sense to him but it takes a specific kind of person to enjoy them. There are reasons to buy the game but I would say there are fewer reasons to actually play it.
>>56860568>get a DNA test if you don't believe me)about that

What do you expect for demons in WH3?
>>56863315Bloodletter, keeper of secrets, big bird, nurglites. Hopefully more than that.
How do all the generic character leaders from each faction stack up against each other? For instance, High elf Princes, Dwarf lords, Saurus oldbloods, vampire lords, orc warbosses, knight grandmasters, etc. how would you order them in terms of strength? And who could beat who in straight up 1v1 duels?
>>56861789You can't dodge something if you don't know it's coming. Cannonball fired from far enough away is gonna outrun the sound of it being fired.
As long as quality of life remains high, how dystopian does a society have to be to become the bad guys?Banishing undesirables?Forced genetic modification?Invasive behavior modification surgery?universal happy drugs?How much bullshit does prosperity, peace, and general good living excuse? Similarly, how dystopian can I make a setting while still having the players not rebel against it? (Paranoia doesn't count, everyone in that game is some kind of rebel)

>Alright, you're all a part of the Adventuring Guild. As your first adventure, you're sent on a C-class mission to...>Anon, where are you going?
>>56863125>Operating without a license>You are being chased by the king's knights, if caught you'll have your legs cut off and forced to work cleanin the floors of the castle for the rest of your life
>>56861601Sounds like you don't like freedom of association, anon.
>>56863210That's what makes the game fun.If someone out there has a problem, and no one else can help, and they can find the party they can hire...
>>56861225>a.) Adventurer is a catch-all term that sounds better than "archaeologist, mercenary, cartographer, explorer, exterminator, militia, diplomat, spy, and sometimes merchant person." A guild of such people can afford to connect via their strengths while supporting each other in a unified movement that requires multiple sectors to work as a whole, hence becoming a guild while still covering a large base of jobs>b.)It's fiscally more responsible to leave monster hunting etc to the private sector. You spend less on training soldiers to get save-or-die'd, and promote local economies in monster heavy areas to boot. Besides, there's nothing to stop the king from recruiting the better and more senior members. Also there's no reason to assume that the guild is international, or even country-wide.>c.)It's entirely possible that the guild receives government support and economic incentives. And again, if recruitment is possible then why would he worry about free training?I've typed a bit out before, so feel free to read the three posts here >https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/56338079/#q56339399
>>56860663It's just a fancier, more palatable term for Mercenaries' Guild.
Tell me /tg/ what political Ideology do you or your player adhere to when forming your own kingdom or Empire? And why is the reason for doing so?For me personally, it's Anarchy. The reason for doing so? I want to be Emperor in a Anarchist society.
>>56859464But anarchist society and communism is a fantasy government :^)
>>56857810An absolute monarch. I want to cuckold peasants and the lesser Noble while I fuck their wives.
>>56859843The strong die, the weak die, the middling ones die. Everyone dies.
>>56862990Quite the ubermensch
>>56857810Since most of my atories are Middle-Times, the protagonist's would be "As long the King does his job and is not an asshole, everything is fine." Of course, the issues were because the King was ineficient and/or a dick.In one where humans are barbarians dominated by elves who where not!Rome, their ideology was a mix of HFY and "FOR THE TRIBE!"
