I was thinking of starting out on roll20 for awhile now. I have to wait till mid September when i move, and then I'd love to participate. I was dming 5e for my previous group, but as we already have two dms posting before me I'd gladly take the role of a player.
I understand roll20 can get slow, especially with more people involved, so i would prefer a smaller group more inclined towards roleplaying. Descriptive style from me.
I'd like to try something from UA.
Lately my work schedule is steadier so i can plan for the game. Prefer weekdays tho. Eu guy gmt+1

Maybe an autumn thing? I'm on failure island GMT

Also I'd like to play as in not DM. My current players include a lot of newbies and it's fun and they're good to play with but I have to work hard engaging their characters. Being new most of them didn't really understand why I wanted them to tie into the world and have motives so I've ended up having to put in a lot more work to make sure every character has a reason to do stuff and some sort of arc. The one experienced player I had has given me the most to work with and

If I started the campaign again or if we actually finish this one and remain DM I'll have a proper session 0 and I'd recommend any campaign starts with that so we can set expectations and tie the party together.

I've got several classes I'd be willing to play, I think pretty simple stuff. I have a few ideas depending what everyone else plays and so what combat AND social dynamics will work best with the rest of a group. A valor bard who's a specially trained tactician/officer, a cynical (and bitter because he can't let go of his principles) devotion paladin who does it because otherwise no one else will or maybe just a dwarf life cleric, though you don't need main healers in 5th ed and he'd be much more than that (also magic initiate for booming blade so he can hit like a truck if need be). I guess they're all varying degrees of gish really. But also both diviner and evoker look fun. Diviner's portents have so much fuckery potential while evoker can fireball the melee and only hurt the enemy.

It's probably going to be Sunday evening or a weeknight for a few hours every couple of weeks. Of course I'm sometimes free other times so if people have a saturday evening mammoth session I'm not a guaranteed no. Not used rollD20 before but it sounds alright.

So it seems like there's at least some interest. Maybe it would be best for one of us to just start making a campaign. I don't think this will happen without some leadership.

I've posted twice already. Can't GM but 6-11 (I could start a little earlier pretty often but not finishing later because fuck starting the working week short on sleep, I'm too old for that shit) GMT/BST almost sunday as a minimum sounds good to me. Maybe other days, I'm free some saturdays the odd weeknight etc. I dunno how workable that is to a guy in -7

I've got over a decade of 3.5 under my belt. If everyone decides to go with 3.5, I'll be down to play.

My timezone is US Central, and I'm available to play whenever.

Papa Smurf is back.

jumping back in. Bought a china recast off ebay of a forge world salamander dreadnought. Have to say for the price I'm very pleased. I live in Australia so GW fucking love price gouging us. So I am planning on doing a salamander army with mostly GW and another space marine army with all recasts. Also have dark eldar sitting around since 3rd with 3rd and 5th edition models.

Hey guys,

If I wanted to get into WH/WH 40k where do I start? Im more interested in building a cool army but I probably wont be playing against other people. I was looking into a Tyrannid set but I dont know.

>>28605

What do you want? army of big fuck off nids or army of smaller bite your face swarms?

>>28605
The start collecting box sets are a good price. You basically get a $40 unit for free.

I main Guard, but I now have some Death Guard and Primaris Marines because I got the box set.

Havent tried the Guard out yet this addition, but thusfar I'm liking a lot of the changes that have been added to the tabletop and the lore progression.

>>28081

Do take note of the outcome of the bolts I use. When they're removed, which is always, thanks to the enchant, there's a second effect. Normal hits do critical hit damage on removal, and critical hits inflict a coup de grace and another critical hit damage upon removal. Then you need to pass a Fort save of (10 + Dmg dealt) or immediately die. I think this all comes down to when all of these checks are made, sure you can negate the damage the bolts do, but the effects of the bolts still go through, unless you resolve the negations as the damage happen. If it's a check that's made at the end of someone's turn after all of the attacks and damage, then it's no bueno for you. After hearing about the damage negation though, I'd more than likely sit back and let my character's bodyguard deal with you. The Titanic Finisher from the Titan Blade class ignores anything that absorbs or prevents damage. Same goes for crits, but it is a full round action for that one attack. He's two levels lower, but still extremely powerful.

I do say, comparing characters is fun.

This kind of bullshit is why I stopped playing D&D.

I played at the hour of devastation pre release. I opened up garbage in my pool, except for a hazoret's undying fury. I thought I would go 0-4, but HUF won me 2 matches and I also beat a beginner and ended up 3-1, good enough for 3 prize packs. I cracked them up and opened a Nicol Bolas Planewalker (which alone paid for my entry) and The Scarab God, which is going to lead my new EDH deck.

Fun times.

>>28587
Did you build your deck around it, with more 4 and 5-drops than usual? It seems like more often then not you'd just get 5-7 mana of spells for 6 mana and time walking your opponent. Is it honestly not complete garbage? :o

>>28588
my pool was so bad, i just played what i could, and it was pretty much all creatures and a few pieces of removal. I had 2 other cards at 6 mana. maybe I just got lucky, but when I played it, and i only played it when it was the only card in my hand, I always got 3 or 4 hits. one time, it was 2 of the 3/3 flying birds that give you 3 life and the big red creature that stops a creature from blocking if you have a desert. and it's not a timewalk. it's OK to take a turn off in limited when you're up 2 cards from the turn before if you have the manalith and creatures that produce mana, you can still work with it. you aren't playing this in a control deck.

It comes down to luck (unless you open up a doomsday invocation ). I'm not going to say it's a card you want to build your deck around, but it can put you ahead when you're behind, and in that respect, it was the only card in my pool which could do that.

>>28589
Neat.

>my pool was so bad, i just played what i could.

I know that fucking feel, man.

>open bomb rare
>check pool of cards that are the same color(s)
>literally unplayable shit and/or not even enough cards to build a deck

I swear to god, every goddamn time lol

it's draft weekend! my store is hosting a draft event tonight, though. i hope they still have these Ramunap Excavator promos to give to drafters. It's a cool card and crucible of worlds is so expensive :(

I could use one in my Gitrog Monster deck.

Adventurers forming in a tavern is an easy plot hook however both 4th and 5th edition D&D encouraged you to link the party in other ways. Every character has a backstory, a reason they're adventuring, either something they're trying to accomplish or they left their life behind. It's implied they're all special and I remember in second edition that they actually gave numbers by level. Low level adventurers are uncommon people, people above level 5 or 6 are exceptional individuals. Lots of these roving bands simply die. And in current 5th edition it's a lot like medieval life in general, 1-5 is brutal and if you survive that you tend to go a lot longer but no one got attached to their kids/adventurers before 5 because most of them were one illness/one crit away from going down.

Anyway parties should have a reason to be together and often a plot which forces them to adventure. Maybe their quests are part of a single story or maybe they're just trying to survive while the main plot happens and a lot of shit is happening. I'm running a campaign where they were recruited as a "diversity" option to try to solve a series of murders, caught and killed the murderer. He was an assassin, everyone knew they succeeded, but then his boss annexed the town so they fled and now they're sort of together through momentum taking on odd jobs because they have unique skills. They fled to the next kingdom over where the government has it's own problems and isn't looking after the people, plus there's 2 warlords (related to their initial problem) who are trying to annex the whole continent stirring up trouble. So they'll put out a few local brushfires. At that point they'll have done enough stuff to further each others' goals or have profited enough that they'll stick together and will have enough of a rep that people will come to them for help. In the long term several of them want to stop one or both sides of the war and/or people that work for those factions while other members of the party have found people who trust them and just let them do what they're good at instead of living on the fringes of society.

Meanwhile monsters aren'…

Good generic superhero pictures are difficult to come by, as the industry is so trademark-oriented. My RP's usually repurpose /vg/ or SF/Fantasy/anime imagery.

Here's a gadget we use to create custom character art even if you can't draw a straight line.

And this is an booru imageboard overboard search engine, you can get some good artwork, but I suggest you set it from "lewd" to "safe", or you end up with a lot of babyfuck. Seriously, fuck Japan.
