It's the DM's discord. We use it to talk to each other if that wasn't obvious enough

Getting ready to join in on a Numenera campaign. My character is a Diruk Seeker who Abides in Crystal. Essentially, I'm a rock alien (visitant as they call it in-universe) with a penchant for exploration and figuring out how the technology of the Ninth World functions, and my "powers" revolve around my ability to manipulate (and eventually) travel through crystals. It's not the most optimized character, but then I've always been more of a 'role player' instead of a 'roll player'; plus min/maxing just seems too much like math homework for my liking. I am interested to see how the rest of the party will interact with my character as I intend to play it as "alien" as I can make it while still recognizing I'm playing a game with a group of strangers. Wish me luck

I have a lot of characters, I really like, but my favorite is my Malkavian Hanna, who plays the violin in a punk rock band and sees ghosts (some of them are real some not).
Another character, I really liked to play was an archeologist in Cthulhu. She was killed by a bomb that was planted for another character in his car, which my character used at that time.

Speaking of World of Darkness, I've had an idea for a Vampire character that I would love to try out one day; if I can ever find a decent group to game with A Tzimisce, trying to separate himself as much as possible from the politics of the Camarilla and the Sabbat while hiding out in plan sight as a medical doctor. Essentially, I wanted him to take try and pass as a Ventrue, or Tremere for other kindred, all the while using his position and access to warm bodies as a means of studying and refining his powers. Nothing sadistically evil, just an "Outsider" view on things and how far he can separate himself from mortal and even kindred society without becoming a mindless monster.

My easily most hilarious character was a demon in a "In Nomine Satanis" campaign. A fiery, winged terror with claws and fangs in his real shape, he was usually masquerading as a puny human while doing the will of his master... or trying to. Said master was the demon lord Belial, a choleric asshole who constantly complained about his incompetent minions (my character and that of another player) and how the other lords of hell were basically a bunch of lame ass comedians.
His misadventures usually centered around trying to sniff out the devious work of undercover angels and messing it up as subtly as possible. Needless to say, it often resulted in unscheduled massacres and conflagrations, followed by a debriefing by his demonic master with lots of shouting and yelling.

Has anyone here ever played 13th Age? I recently started a new campaign as DM, and I don’t know if it’s a novelty of it, but I think I’ve found my all-time favorite D&D variant. Unfortunately, there doesn’t seem to be too many people playing it (at least compared to fifth edition or Pathfinder), although It’s not exactly some random dude’s OGL d20 homebrew either. It’s published by Pelgrane Press, the lead designers are Jonathan Tweet and Rob Heinsoo (the former was lead dev of D&D 3 ed., and the latter was lead of D&D 4 ed.), the production quality of writing, artwork and et cetera are excellent and on par with any official D&D material past or present. I haven’t really discussed about the game with anybody beyond the group I am currently playing at, so I am curious if anyone has any experiences about this crown jewel of D&D renaissance. Just general experiences, like did you feel to tweak or modify rules? Any balance issues? Clever Icon mechanics or cool One Unique Things (which I am not totally going to steal)? How did you incorporate default Dragon Empire setting, or did you do something totally different? If I shill for this game a little more, I’d say that it’s definitely worth of checking out, if you are into D&D and especially its D20-variants. It was released under Open Game License, so basic rules are available for free. The core rules are especially well suited for story / narrative driven games, with heavy emphasis on roleplaying, freeform and theater of mind style combat. The core rules are quite sleek and streamlined, and meant to be modified, so disbanding or adding different rules on top of the corpus is easy. Overall rules tend to be on the high abstract side of things, so there’s low risk of fucking anything up by modding. I mean, the game literary encourages of modifying it and patching your own body of rules from different optional rules and add-ons. Like instead of story / plot heavy game, my current campaign is meant to be as open world sandbox, stressing resource managing, hex crawling and wilderness survival. Where in comes 13th Age’s greatest flaw or downside. It’s easy for players to grasp, but it assumes and explicitly states that DM should be experienced in running D&D, preferably other d20 games. Like I had to sew rules for my openworld sandbox version by taking different stuff from previous editions (mostly AD&D first edition, some from third edition, some of my own making). It currently looks more like Flesh golem than anything else, but hey, it hasn’t been turned against me yet…

So...anyone possibly interested in doing a game on Roll20?
I have been asked by some folks I work with at TechRaptor to do a Pathfinder Adventure Path (they want to play the tabletop version of Kingmaker) but were struggling to find people to commit/have time. my own schedule is only opening up in a few weeks as well.
If it does goes well, I wouldn't mind doing another Adventure Path (I hear good things about most of them) and get some groups together if possible, although id admit id rather play over GM. Right now i'm running a session in my custom setting, and this version of Kingmaker would be game 2. I don't know if I can handle 3 at once.
Anyone with experience in doing Kingmaker or have recommendations for good Adventure Paths?

Has anyone here looked into Vampire 5th Edition? I have to say that I am impressed with the new hunger dice mechanic, as well as the changes to the meta plot, that puts kindred society on the back foot against humanity. Obviously its a new book, and other clans aside from the base choices will become available eventually, but I would be lying if I didn't say that I am missing the Tzimice and their lovely flesh sculpting abilities.

Has anyone here looked into Vampire 5th Edition? Not me personally, I'm going to participate in a "Mage: The Awakening" game soon though. Other people in the (online) group are involved in some Vampire games as well, and they started adding in some elements of 5th Edition. Good luck on your Mage campaign. That's one splat book in the World of Darkness line that I have yet to look into, so I would be curious to hear some of your takes on the game and mechanics. One thing I do like about 5th edition is how the meta-plot of the Old World of Darkness is back. The new chronicles of darkness was okay, but the whole thing with the god machine was a bit hokey overall (IMO).

The new chronicles of darkness was okay, but the whole thing with the god machine was a bit hokey overall (IMO). Yeah, I can't really comment much on that. My experience with Vampire is more listening to other people talk about their game, and playing VtM:B the video game. As for the God-Machine, yeah, I'm somewhat torn on it as well. On one hand I like the Lovecraftian aspect of it, on the other hand, some elements rub me a bit the wrong way. Still, I think much depends on how a particular Story-Teller handles it. True. And it does very much depend on how individual story tellers deal approach it. But on it's head, I think the concept of the god machine, and the quasi science fiction elements it brings to the CoD setting kinda takes away from the supernatural elements of it. How does the nature of the god machine relate to vampires and werewolves? How do mummies, the fay, and promethans factor into a universal super pseudo-science intelligence? I do like the how it relates to the new take on the mages and demons though, as it invokes nearly direct analogs to the Matrix with the mages being the Neos and the Angels/Demons being the Agent Smiths.

How does the nature of the god machine relate to vampires and werewolves? How do mummies, the fay, and promethans factor into a universal super pseudo-science intelligence? I think the guy running our Mage game considers it less as "The God Machine" and more as one particularly powerful entity among others. So potentially you don't really have to cover everything that exist from the angle of the God Machine. I do like the how it relates to the new take on the mages and demons though, as it invokes nearly direct analogs to the Matrix with the mages being the Neos and the Angels/Demons being the Agent Smiths. That's actually something I'm less enthusiastic about tbh. I enjoy more the take I mentioned above. Good take on part of your storyteller, I can get behind that interpretation. As for mage and demon, I like it solely for how those to splat books deal with essentially 'hacking' reality to do things you need. All the other overt comparisons are a bit grating at times. Out of the two, I like the concept behind the demons as rogue agents of the god machine a bit more than the mages. But then that's just me doing what I always do and gravitating towards the more non-human/alien things in the setting

Well I got into a Fifth Edition Vampire game and finished making my character.
Having no access to my beloved clan Tzimisce I went with a Malkavian former FBI agent with a touch of split personality disorder. In life he helped track down serial killers, unfortunately his last quarry happened to be an actual vampire. As a 'reward' for being able to track him down this vampire tortured, killed and then embraced my character. He took to un-life relatively quickly and used his newfound "gifts" to hunt down his creator and kill him; though it was during that time that my character's willpower faltered and he wound up diablirizing his sire.
On the surface one could easily mistake my vampire for a Venture considering his ideals for order and his drive to act as judicator, but the curse of his clan's madness lies just beneath; exemplified with the insidious voice of his murderous sire prickling at the back of his mind.

Well I got into a Fifth Edition Vampire game and finished making my character. What's your impressions of 5th Edition so far? I let you know when my group's had our first game. Sorry if my initial post was confusing, we're all still in the character creation phase. So far I do think the creation aspects to 5th edition really help you get into your character's head space. The Convictions and Touchstones portion really helps solidify your motivations.

Necro'd the thread here with a question about Savage World's RIFTS setting.
I was looking at all the iconic frameworks (character classes) and I'm wondering if there's any reason to ever go with a Combat Cyborg over a Glitterboy? Out of the two I was thinking of playing as a borg, but I'm wondering if the game is balanced between the classes or would I be just shooting myself in the foot by not going with the glitter boy?
P.S. that Vampire 5th Edition game kinda fell apart on me, the GM was rather flakey. Such is the price when using online tabletop I guess.

But rifts doesn’t try to balance things in the slightest. One of the iconics is like Davie Crocket and another is dude piloting a 10 ton mech with a railgun(the glitter boy) and I honestly can’t see a way for savage worlds to balance that. If you can get past that it’s a fairly fun setting. And savage worlds is a pretty good system.

Maybe I should post some of my notes for my custom Pathfinder world for folks to read.
Who has done that before? Customizable world's and settings, in game lore, all of that kind of groundwork to make something unique.

Since this was necroed. I’m running a 5e shadowrun game. And Jesus what a cluster those rules are. It’s even clunkier than 4e with little benefit and quite a few negatives. Hey direct combat spells aren’t overpowered anymore. They are borderline useless instead. All other magic is just as broken with spirits being exceedingly so. But hey with a DM you can balance things with your background count hammer which also hammers the adept who isn’t broken. Supposedly the matrix is better this edition but I think it’s harder than 4e. The Decker has a spreadsheet for what dice pool to do because there are so many different dice pools for the piles and piles of different actions. And that’s just the start. But it’s the current system so that’s what the missions are for and in my old age I no longer seem to have the time to write my own stuff.
Still it’s fun as it’s more about the players and rolling with it than having a good rule system. I wish I liked narrative systems. I like rules and crunch and definitive I rolled x I succeeded/failed. But crap it’s bad in 5e and the rules bloat after all the supplements isn’t helping.

In my youth that’s how I did it, I wasn’t willing to spend the time to do it all by scratch but didn’t want a standard setting. Now I use a setting as is with maybe a tweak here and there.

Apparently the savage worlds version of the setting is actually balanced, compared to the old one, but I'm still not seeing why a person would want to go with anything else other than a glitter boy. The idea of playing as a robocop or dreadnought is more interesting to me than playing as a mech jockey, but I don't want to run with something that will just get shredded in one round of combat either.
