not really. it takes a lot of effort to put together a campaign. I have two notebooks right next to me which contain one single quest for a game I'm running. it kind of takes the wind out of your sails when twats can't take the game seriously
yes but surely the DM MUST have realized his great mistake when he asked them to make real life characters. i only read that line and i KNEW it would be the adventures of hitler
Well, he had Hitler, Jesus, and Japanese waifu. What did he expect? Why were characters like this even included in "class" rolls, if he wanted a serious game?
could have made hitler a fighter and jesus a cleric.
or they were playing a game that doesn't have classes and only has skills and stats.
they were told to roll up a real human being so jesus and hitler at the very least make sense, but not the japanese schoolgirl who is a magical transforming pantyflasher.
tell me about it, in our new group we play in a setting that's really low fantasy(think game of thrones but with more monsters, from the perspective of lowly mercenaries in a backwater province) so it's me playing a swordsman that has cast aside his noble house, we got an underage street urchin thief, a old veteran daft mercenary knight
and then we got that dude
i think the problem lies in that he didn't understand the setting but he plays an undead elf (despite the fact that elfs are supposed to have been extinct to the point of them just being legends) female and desribes her class as a ranger, mage and druid(in the setting, just being a mage alone means you won't have any spells at all for a long ******* time because it would take years upon years of practice and studies) the character is also arrogant and rude, lesbian, a cannibal, "addicted to sex" and gets "aroused" at the sight of blood, gore and death to the point of the DM making a mechanic around it
i kinda feel bad for my buddy(the DM) because this is his first time doing this and this is a trainwreck waiting to happen
so, dndxplain, you've probably answered this, but what's your most and least favorite systems? i'm pretty curious as i'm trying to learn a bunch right now.
why do you say you hate dungeons and dragons right now specifically? also 3.5 is pretty close to pathfinder, so does that not count in your hate or do you hate D&D on principle?
pathfinder is what happens when you take all of the tiny good parts of a terrible game, put them in with good parts that actually build on the preexisting good things, then slap decent balancing on it.
3.5 is terribly balanced, full of terrible, complex fluff, and is terribly balanced. no point in playing anything other than magic.
I dislike dungeons and dragons games because they honestly don't know what they're doing. 5e is great for newbies who are trying to learn the game, but it's not at all fun for people who already know how to play.
there should be no reason you can't escape a level five fighter
pretty new to pathfinder, so not too sure on the specifics. Learned on dnd 3.5, so it kinda feels like home but i know where you're coming from. When i run games i do a lot of hands on balancing. Also, what do you think of dark heresy?
rogue trader offers more freedom than other 40k rpgs.
the rogue traders were a sect of humans working for the imperium who were given a decree by the emperor of man: basically, commit heresy for the good of the imperium
crews can be made up of xenos and human alike, are allowed to dabble in chaos, hunt down ancient artifacts, and even pirate imperium vessels as long as they have the right paperwork
Yeah it's kind of boring and lacks diversity
I recently made a dnd 5 ranger and we got up until level 8 i believe but it's just incredibly boring
Every other Pathfinder character i made is just really fun to play Especially after the unchained changes to some classes
every iterration has its issues. one had the fact that really all a fighter could do was attack, two had no direction, 3.5 had issues with balance, four was meh, and now five is great for newbies, but only newbies
Which is really nice though, if i had started on version 2, where imps could kill you in one hit, i think i would've stopped playing pretty soon, i just don't like the idea of a character dying because of one failed roll
Im glad new players have a version they can easily get into, after all Pathfinder does have a pretty complex ruleset
A Japanese Schoolgirl, Jesus, and Hitler, are sent on a mission to Africa....This is the start of the worlds greatest (or most offensive) joke. (probably both at the same time!)
