A player was hospitalized when he got his kneecaps blown off after bursting through a door to another player's hotel room.

It was a pretty good game.

Mate, can I join a game you're all playing? It sounds really fun, and I've played 3.5 for ages. Where do I sign up?
User avatar #83 to #76 - skyrimdovah (12/14/2015) [-]
The system is Call of Cthulhu, and the group we're in passes DM around, so if you wanna be a player, you're gonna have to DM at some point. If you don't know the system, it's really simple, and I could teach you.
User avatar #84 to #83 - minish (12/14/2015) [-]
I know the basics of that, and I DMed 3.5 quite a lot.

I would love to join, sure, and I would also love to learn more about playing call of ctulu.

This is what I imagine it would sound like after someone opened the Gates of Hell itself with a rusty crowbar on Friday the 13th at midnight...

What's Roll20?

I want in.
User avatar #9 to #8 - letmetouchyourboob (12/13/2015) [-]
it's a website for playing DnD online.
also if anyone is willing to help me learn i really want to get into DnD
User avatar #10 to #9 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/13/2015) [-]
Thanks for the info.

Also, don't ask me, because I don't know anything about DnD.

I think we have a dndxplain, though.
User avatar #12 to #10 - letmetouchyourboob (12/14/2015) [-]
i meant that last part as a general "hay everyone" kinda thing
User avatar #15 to #12 - dndxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
>>#10, you do have a dndxplain
User avatar #79 to #15 - zioken (12/14/2015) [-]
What would best way to start going about learning how to play DnD?
User avatar #80 to #79 - dndxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
I always recommend starting with pathfinder if you're looking for fantasy.
everything can be found at d20pfsrd.com .
#81 to #80 - zioken (12/14/2015) [-]
This is... quite a bit of info

Should I read all of it before I even try to start or are there things that can be glossed over?
User avatar #92 to #81 - dndxplain (12/15/2015) [-]
I recommend starting out with character creation, of course
User avatar #93 to #92 - zioken (12/15/2015) [-]
Is there a preferred method for creation when it comes to the ability scores? Like is it more common to have 4d6 rolls or the point buy
User avatar #94 to #93 - dndxplain (12/15/2015) [-]
the common method is 4d6-lowest (if you roll 4,3,2,1 it's a 9 because you remove the 1 from that list, as an example)
however, if you have a pathfinder society near you (just google "pathfinder society [your area code]") there is a specific method for creation in that
User avatar #13 to #12 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
I know, but do not seek me for advice.
User avatar #14 to #9 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
I currently run the Skype Tabletop Gaming Group. If you want in let me know, but we're hurting for DM's right now more than ANYTHING
User avatar #66 to #14 - stifflimb (12/14/2015) [-]
If you got the room one day send me a message pls.
My experience from DnD rollplaying pretty much comes from the posts on here so take that in advice when considering me.
User avatar #59 to #14 - utburd ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Can I get in on this? I'll sub for details, I have a campaign I was working on from ******* years ago but I have no clue about DM'ing on roll20... Don't they make you pay for character sheets, or am I thinking of something else?...
User avatar #61 to #59 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
Nope! It's all free, though you CAN pay for bonus features, character sheets are free
User avatar #52 to #14 - reginleaf (12/14/2015) [-]
What version you playin?
User avatar #57 to #52 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
Current systems known between us all are:
Pathfinder (All)
Dungeons and Dragons (3.5e, 5e, and technically AD&D but we learned that for fun)
Shadowrun
Call of Cthulhu (4e-7e)
Fallout: Equestria
Everybody is John
Betrayal at the House on the Hill
Warhammer 40K/Rogue Trader/Dark Heresy/Total War (No DM's know it, I'm having players teach me actually)
Paranoia (DM is unavailable, but he's teaching me)
Numenera

There are also a couple of homebrew systems and system variants, such as:
Superhero's Doing Super Things (Small system made by Ragingspacepanda)
S.P.O.O.K.Y. (Homebrew Call of Cthulhu System Variant where you fight the creatures of the H.P.Lovecraft Mythos instead of running from them. Created by me)
Amalgamaria (HUUUUUGE Total System and Setting Variant that I came up with. Can't tell you much, but it's a total redux of the Pathfinder world, and my players LOVE it)

I may be forgetting some, I just woke up
User avatar #70 to #57 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
>S.P.O.O.K.Y
>Basically B.P.R.D against Cthulhu

Every noun and verb in that sentence makes me totally erect.
User avatar #71 to #70 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
That makes me SO happy to hear, I worked real hard on it. The series is called "From The Archives of S.P.O.O.K.Y.", with S.P.O.O.K.Y. standing for "Supernatural Protectorate Order Of Knighted Youth". They take any orphaned children who want to fight the things that killed their family, and they give them room and board, food, clothes, training and an education. They pick an Occupation, get specialized training, then go out and murder evil **** to save innocent people.
#72 to #71 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
If not for the fact that I know absolutely nothing about DnD(or at least, the base rules), I would jump on that faster than stink on ********* .

Sounds ******* good, though.
User avatar #74 to #72 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
CoC is REALLY simple to learn. it took me two sessions to get the hang of it, and it only took two because I fell asleep halfway through (I had worked a double shift that day)
User avatar #75 to #74 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
How much different is S.P.O.O.K.Y from CoC?

Do you do this stuff on Roll20?
User avatar #60 to #57 - reginleaf (12/14/2015) [-]
All good man; that's an impressive list.

I know D&D 3.5e well enough to dm it and I got a pretty fat stack of pdfs for it, and I'm pretty sure I could pick up pathfinder fast enough if it's as compatible with 3.5 as I remember. Though I'm **** with roll20, I could probably work it out with some practice.
User avatar #62 to #60 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
Well I run my own tabletop creation and publication company (We're really small, all we have published rn is the first module for the S.P.O.O.K.Y. Setting. So I figured if I'm gonna get INTO this business, I gotta learn as many systems as I can. Even those that don't really interest me all too much (Like Fallout: Equestria). People a re like "Ha ha, you know a pony system, fag" meanwhile I'm here like "Yeah, a system that if sold for monetary gain (All of FO:E the Tabletop is free) would have earned over half a million dollars and I'm gay for wanting to capitalize on that success. Suuuuure, I'm the idiot"
User avatar #63 to #62 - reginleaf (12/14/2015) [-]
At least you're not a commie :^)

User avatar #51 to #14 - sexyhimself ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Have we tried making a FJ post about it?
Sounds like something you would have tried.
Since you're a smarty 'n' stuff.


Luv u bb
btw I really want that Tyrannosaurus
User avatar #56 to #51 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
I plan on it, but not many people care what I have to say, so I was going to ask skechyz if HE could do it, but I keep forgetting
User avatar #65 to #56 - sexyhimself ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Sounds like an idea.

If you tell the people in the skype group I'm sure most will thumb it up and try to spread the news.
User avatar #67 to #65 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
True, but I think that may count as cheating...I'd have to ask a mod. Hey Postingloudly, would comment 65 be against the rules?
User avatar #86 to #67 - postingloudly (12/14/2015) [-]
No lol, its fine
User avatar #87 to #86 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
Good, good. Thanks bae
User avatar #69 to #67 - sexyhimself ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
There are rules !?
User avatar #16 to #14 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
What's a DM?
User avatar #17 to #16 - rakaka (12/14/2015) [-]
Dungeon Master. Guy who doesn't actually play the game but sort of acts as a guiding force/referee/narrator for the players.
User avatar #18 to #17 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
In some ways that sounds boring and great for dicking with the players.
User avatar #19 to #18 - rakaka (12/14/2015) [-]
If you like telling a story, building a world and generally being the one in control then it's perfect for you. Otherwise it's a pretty arduous job and it's difficult handling dumbass players.
User avatar #20 to #19 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
You fool.

Punish the stupid.

On a serious note, I'd feel bad for the DM of a group I might be in.

Because I don't know **** when it comes to Dungeons and Dragons.
User avatar #21 to #20 - rakaka (12/14/2015) [-]
A lot of DMs and players really enjoy helping new players

hmu on skype whitemage9001 if you really want to get into DnD
#22 to #21 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
>skype

NORMIES GET OUT REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.

I don't have Skype, though.

Is DnD strictly fantasy? Can it be sci-fi, wild west, etc?

I know Fantasy Grounds does Lovecraftian stuff, but is there other, I guess, world themes?

I guess it depends on the sole game, though. DnD rules with a Wild West theme, etc, etc.
#53 to #22 - vigilantej (12/14/2015) [-]
can be any settings iv done a hyper real zombie a la walking dead and iv done a starwars cross over
User avatar #23 to #22 - rakaka (12/14/2015) [-]
DnD is a part of the tabletop genre. In which you have character sheets, a Game Master, and a story, everything else is optional. But DnD is pretty much just fantasy since there is a rule book and other handbooks that pretty much set the fantasy aspect in stone. There are other tabletop games that do offer other settings. I don't know of any wild west themed tabletop games but one could have that as a setting and include the other elements of the game.

It'd be pretty ******* sick to have a jojo themed tabletop game

It would be sick to have a JoJo themed tabletop game.

I don't see why it couldn't be done, though, take the regular game rules of DnD, and the character rules from JoJo (Or, at least enough that way people can't have ******** stuff.), and from there, I don't know, but it could work.

And as far as DnD goes, I prefer to have a bit of diversity, I don't like the whole strictly "Knights and Dragons" idea, I prefer leniency, but thanks for explaining.
#54 to #24 - vigilantej (12/14/2015) [-]
omg your so wrong lol its no "knights and dragons" that dude explained it so bad dnd you can do anything iv seen a character go around invent explosives and become a urban terrorist iv seen a psychotic elf that specialized in making elf skin boots! a gnome bard who killed his enemies by making them dance to death i did a game where one pc was secretly evil and used mind seed on all the npc's he could every time the party was at at towen/city eventually ending up with a clone army had a pc talk the big bad evil guy into a better plan and sparing them i played with a monk who was so ridiculously skilled at mele he could stun a freaking full sized t-rez with a single attack iv seen wizards who specialize in time manipulation which allowed them to set off 8 delayed fireballs in a single turn (8 turns is how long it woudl have normally taken which is an insane ammount of time 8 turns of combat is more than enough to kill most pc's) and he coulda do that and set up a area of about 200ft of , **** youn you in here you gonna die from massive fireballs area. one character was super slow and weak halfling and we had to gtfo and he couldnt keep up so our orc barbarian simply picked him up and put him in his bag of holding and later used him as a projective weapon the halfing was a rogue so when he was thrown he was able to do a sneak attack+extra dmg from the force of being tossed by an orc
User avatar #25 to #24 - rakaka (12/14/2015) [-]
Thing is, you can. It'd just be a lot of work making all the rules for stands and such. There's a lot that goes into just one battle for DnD so technically you could do literally anything using DnD as a framework as all TTG are at their core the same
User avatar #26 to #25 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Someone should do it.

I don't know enough about DnD to even begin to start, and you'd need to get inuyuru or another JoJo guru to work out the Stand rules.

I'd play a JoJo tabletop.

But you could almost do the Stand stuff in DnD, with sorcery and stuff.

You could make a familiar or an Avatar of yourself.
User avatar #28 to #26 - inuyuru ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Well I'm pretty knowledgeable about DnD as well (I play it every Sunday when the campaigns are done)

So I could probably do it if you give me enough time
#29 to #28 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
You should, people would love it.
User avatar #30 to #29 - inuyuru ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
I'll talk to my DM and see what I can whip up.
#31 to #30 - tenaciouslee ONLINE (12/14/2015) [-]
Keep me updated.

I'll subscribe in case you make a post about it.
User avatar #58 to #28 - psychologyxplain (12/14/2015) [-]
If you're a DM, we could SERIOUSLY use you in the Skype chat
User avatar #95 to #58 - eizujeil (12/22/2015) [-]
Honestly I'd love to DM or just play, its unfortunate that I straight up suck at it due to lack of experience and groups never holding together longer than a session or two. I spend a lot of my time making builds that I wanna play or find puzzles and scenarios i'd love to see people go through.
User avatar #96 to #95 - psychologyxplain (12/23/2015) [-]
Join. Learn. Add me on Skype, Tanis.Annicchiarico. You'll know which one is me, it's the long fantasy oriented one
