So, I am a novice in everything /tg/, but some IRL friends and I are trying a simple DnD 3.5 campaign, and I was wondering if there are any really handy applications that can make everything easier. I'm thinking things like character sheet spreadheets and reference sheets or anything else that might be useful.

So, I'm looking for basically anything that can supplement a physical game; Fantasy Grounds would be more trouble than it's worth if we have an actual table to play on. Most of what I've found seems way too complicated or difficult to use. Suggestions?

This is a pretty good character generator unless you're planning to make an evil character (Since the programmer is apparently a really devoted christian and felt uncomfortable posting evil-related stuff on there) otherwise it's a pretty nifty and easy to use character sheet. Just don't change your mind later, otherwise you'll be forced to restart from the beginning

And of course Crystal Keep: The cliffnotes of the DnD universe. Every single spell, magical item, monster, feat, etc is posted here; Make liberal use of it!

Other then that just skim through the book; Fighting is a bit of a clusterfuck, especially for a first timer and I'll tell you right now not to expect them to blaze through them quickly. The fun of the game is in character interaction, and as cheesy as this may sound, give role-playing a try and I guarantee you'll have a blast!

How about using grids/maps for combat? Not necessary most of the time? It seems like it's not really necessary if it's just you and some dude in a room without many features. And yes, I'd like to get better at RPing, as I understand that it really is key.

Also, do people normally worry much about things like food/water/ammo, etc? I can understand if you're in, like, a siege or some shit, but just walking around killing stuff?

>>1459
Thanks!
>> ID: 338528 No. 1464
>>1462
I can't remember for sure if you need food/water (I don't have my rulebook and I haven't played it in a while), but generally they shouldn't be all that important, just like in video games. After all you're playing HIGH ADVENTURE, not pastry chef unless your playing a pastry chef

In any case if your DM says not to worry about food then just don't worry, the rules to DnD are flexible and they won't punish you if your DM won't. In a seige, maybe, but he'll need to clarify that his rules are coming into effect. Ammo, though, is always finite, as you can see on your character sheet, just cross one of the markers off whenever you fire a bolt/arrow

Lets see...

Grids really aren't that big of a deal; generally they're just there so you can remember your relative distance as compared to your foe, as well as any obstacles that penalize your attacks for obstruct your view. But if you're going to be doing a lot of fighting in exotic places, then really should use one, and I recommend try find yourself one of these:

http://www.chessex.com/mats/Battlemats_Megamats.htm

They're discontinued but they're reusable and you can just wipe it clean when you're done, or you can grab some crosshatch posterboard from your local art shops, I dunno.

If all else fails just have your DM keep track of everyone's position using Microsoft Excel

Alright. Since finals are over (which is the main reason why my Geist game fell apart im sorry guys :<) I'm thinking of starting up a WOD game again (Not geist though, sorry) Probably Promethean since I was hit with inspiration for a pretty awesome campaign that I think fits extremely well thematically. I'll really take anyone who wants to play But won't go above 5 (6 at the largest) Post in this thread or hit me up on steam if you want to play!

I would like to share with /tg/ some quality board bames and maybe gets some discussions going based on those games. First up, Cosmic Encounter.

Cosmic Encounter is an interesting gaming experience that tends to convert non-gamers fairly easily. The rules are not overly complicated and set up is quick. Your first game of CE will likely have some stumbling as you become acquainted with the rules but once you grasp the mechanics gameplay becomes strangely simplistic while layered with strategy.

Also, MTG players, apparently this is the game that inspired Richard Garfield to create MTG. It’s easy to see the similarities between the two. Both games have fairly simple rules that bend and twist as the players use cards and abilities to help them advance in the game.

If you're interested I recommend getting the Fantasy Flight edition of Cosmic Encounter. Their edition is the most recent and builds upon the community's input.

kamigawa/ravnica/9th, ravnica/timespiral/coldsnap/9th, and ravnica/timespiral/coldsnap/10th were the best segments of T2 play in all of mtg.

also ghazi-glare was the best deck of this format, and by proxy the best deck of all time.

speaking of m11, check out the new deathtouch rules if you haven't seen them, specifically deathtouch and trample.

http://www.wizards.com/magic/magazine/article.aspx?x=mtg/daily/feature/99a

Excerpt:
"Similarly, say you control a 4/4 creature has deathtouch and trample. You attack your opponent and your creature is blocked by a 3/3. If your creature had just deathtouch, you'd have to assign all its damage to the blocking creature. If your creature had just trample, you'd have to assign 3 damage to the blocking creature and could assign only 1 to the defending player. But since it has both deathtouch and trample, you could assign 1 damage to the blocking creature and—since that's considered lethal—assign the remaining 3 damage to the defending player."

That was sort of the idea. One of the points I enjoy most about the eldar is how they act so smug while having some of the most absurd units in warhammer. When making the wraithlord, I wanted to give it the look of "we ran out of the good technology, so her is this hammer."

So Dio and I just finished up our first rpg with Coolguy dming it about a month ago, and it was pretty awesome/fun.

Anyways, that was a short-term campaign and now that it's over we're thinking about rping again, but we don't really have any ideas as to what system to use. Dio and I are pretty new to it, and Coolguy says he's pretty much cool with whatever, so we'd all three probably be pretty open to whatever system the dm wants to use (only request so far is a definitive cutoff time for each session).

So, with that said, who wants to dm and what system????

Pic related, it's my assassin from DH named Thelonius. He made a couple ghillies out of nid skins and then sent one to his inquisitor (who happened to be a hot chick, giggity).

BTW if multiple people want to dm you'll have to fight to the death or something, idk.

>it would inevitably turn into them being hounded by the Legion of Doom.

why is this a bad thing?

in all seriousness, if that's a problem, have your players get together and create nemeses of their own based on a theme you dictate, i.e. mobsters, cultists, etc.

So yeah Foggy got hit by by shrapnel in the gut in the last mortar volley aimed at Zobby's bunker but HE'S STILL ALIVE. Anyways he wanted to know if anyone would be interested in DETHWATCH, we might be able to do something with that free rpg day thing or we could just wait until the book is out sometime later this year (idk when). I figure it'd be best to give first dibs on involvement to the people that were going to play ua, so let Foggy know if you're interested or post here and I can tell him.

Is there a good forum/chat/whatever for online D&D? If people on here actually set up games and shit, who should I get in touch with? What are some basic programs that are usually needed?

I live in Japan, and nobody here has even heard of the game, so I pretty much need to hopefully find a way to start up or join an online campaign.

Mostly familiar with 3.5, but I've been wanting to try 4e. I'd like to play 4e if I had the choice, but 3.5 if fine too.

Is the group most of FA uses (although not many people play around here)
Fantasy Grounds II is pretty much what we use around here since it makes everything 10x easier than just using say, IRC.
I'm not sure of any 3.5 or 4e games that need players at the moment though.
