Quite the familiar feeling

>>131712
>>131766
A few of those panels suck, but i can also personally relate to a lot of them.

>>131849
Isnt that the point? According to both memes, a person can be literally all over the spectrum, while never accurately being depicted by their actual position on the compass. An effective meme needs to be simultaneously funny AND true.

>>131850
The "compass" aspect was mostly arbitrary, but I appreciated as a funny list of types of role-players that I recognize.

>>131591
not really a meme per se but Spells that do Useful Shit > Big Fireball
your warrior ranger and rogue can take turns dealing big numbers, the Batman Wizard conquers all.

>>131865
Of course, dealing direct damage is probably the least productive thing a Wizard can do with his spell slots, which is why a lot of third edition specialist wizards dump Evocation.
It's easily illustrated in >>131864

Me, fireballing all of the NPCs who aren't useful to me.

>>131931
>t. useless NPC

>>131935

>>131967
It's supposed to be ironic...

>>132046
>no reach
>can't easily pierce suits of metal armor
>expensive and difficult to make ("muh thousand folds!")
>only does one type of damage (slashing)
>requires extra training to use right

Katana a shid.

>"We need to make d&d less offensive to cultures that literally do not exist."

Gosh, I love third edition.

>>132324
I don't use the lord's name in vain :p

>>132325
Gaslighting is not working.
Either is God or is not.

And still we're not talking about the money.

>>132655
Sad but true. 4/tg/ will scream at you for posting this.

>>132656

Bring it.

>>136230
It shall be broutghten. I say we do it on the board this time

Gotta appreciate some of the Looney Toons dynamics in Pathfinder art/lore.

>be DM
>start out making "this seemingly-nice organization is actually evil" my favourite cliche
>players expect it

>redpill gamers on every social issue one at a time

could it work?

>>148078
It could work in theory, but you make the mistake in assuming that your players will be smart.
Not only are players dumb, but you as the DM might also make some unseen failures to communicate the situation clearly.
If you are confident in your skills and those of your players though, it could be an awesome game. I'd love to play that game.

>>148078
>could it work
Of course it COULD work, but whether it WOULD work depends on your gamers. I've got a group of overthinking strategists who would see right through that in a heartbeat. Consider employing red herrings to keep them from figuring EVERYTHING out right away, and also consider having a left-field BBEG who was backing it all along (think Soros, if you're going with the lefty parallels).

>>148080
Red Herrings can be good, but they can also easily frustrate the party by sidelining them with unfun quests. If you use red herrings, it's important to add some rewarding content as well.
I've been in plenty of games where the DM led us on red herring quests that felt like a waste of time both in and out of character.

>>148102
Agreed. The red herring should both reassert the main plot, as well as have Gib's for both the effort and the sidetrack, as well as some teaser side info, to keep the plot going

>>148104
I actually used a Red Herring in my current game, and nearly led the party halfway across the map to negotiate with a Giant Warlord. However, the Cleric was wise enough to cast Commune and sort out the bad information. Clerics can do anything.

>>148237
Where's the knee?
I Cant Sneed

>>148242
Knees are non-lethal tactics, unless the target has prior ingested a lethal dose of fentanyl.

>>148345
Barbarian
>Barbarian

>>153840
I have never heard of a game that didn't include at least two of these motherfuckers.

>>153840
Don't forget inferior ripoffs of anime characters
Especially boring one-note ones that are only funny or interesting thanks to interactions with other characters
Drizzt doourden ripoffs probably carpool with Roranoa Zoro ripoffs
Also that one troon who insists on being the girl he sees himself as
and that one furfag who insists on being his fursona
and that fag who insists on slowing the pace of the adventure down for his character's Illumination Movie-tier character arc where he learns friendship really is magic or something

>>153845
>inferior ripoffs of anime characters
Often some variantion of edgelord or snowflake.
>Also that one troon who insists on being the girl he sees himself as
Also snowflake.
That's also better than the troon who plays a troon in-character just to remind everyone that he's a fucking troon.
>Furfag
Snowflake again.
>Last one
Still snowflake.
