>>214971I bought an XL squishy d20 from etsy and I love it! I prefer unique sets/dice.
Also I just started Unsleeping City on Dimension20 and I'm so in love with it already. (I'll save my Brennan Lee Mulligan sperging for another thread.)

Ooohh cool! I have done other hobbies for a while but I love painting miniatures. My bf is a WH40k autist and I bought a couple armies too kek, though both sit mostly unpainted… I have only played a couple times though, so I wonder if I should sell my minis though that would break his heart lol. DnD with the same figures sound found but we never got around to it since we don't have friends really
I have Sylvaneths from Age of Sigmar and Tau from Warhammer 40k (yes yes I know lol). Here's my Sylvaneth inspo pic

>>215081Omg
Nonnie did you paint your Sylvaneth with doe dots? That inspo pic is so cute, love the color reference for the beetle wings

>>215206Oh no, what was awkward if it's okay to ask? 3e is pretty tough to get into because the mechanics are crunchy and the edition suffered serious power creep issues, but there were also a lot more gatekeepery tossers playing 3e compared to current.
If you still want to try D&D, 5e is the current edition and is the most beginner-friendly. The Player's Handbook is enough to teach how the game is played and you could even make your character using just the PHB if you wanted. (Half-elves are a base PC race and there are three full arcane caster classes of wizard, sorcerer, and warlock if you still wanted to play mage.) That's all it takes if you're looking to get into the game itself. Finding people to play with is a different subject and I'm a little too hiki to help there, but I'm sure other nonnas have good advice on the social gaming aspect!
If not, apparently solo tabletop gaming has taken off in the last few years

>>215206Being a newcomer can be intimidating, especially playing in new groups. Online resources like Roll20 can be good for finding games, but can be
toxic if you're not familiar with the content. Like
>>215341 said though, best to familiarise with the base rules, finding a version of the Players Handbook to read online is remarkably easy.
If you're able to, getting a game with an all female group, or mixed at the bare minimum–Swear to god, learning to play in a game store back when was a hellhole of sweaty nerds and casual misogyny that I wouldn't wanna subject anyone to these days.

>>215341>>215417>what was awkward if it's okay to ask?Other than the fact that talking to the friend was awkward in general, I think he was a shit DM. Me and my bf were always asking what we had to do next (both of us were beginners) and he was pretty slow and didn't seem to put in real effort.
>3e is pretty tough to get into because the mechanics are crunchy and the edition suffered serious power creep issuesI see, I had heard that 3e was the best one for some reason but if 5e is easier I'll probably start with that one.
I'm also pretty socially awkward, ESL and asocial in general so I would only feel comfortable playing with people I know well enough, not with strangers. Maybe I'll watch others play on YouTube or Twitch or something while getting familiar with the rules.
Of course, it doesn't need to be D&D.
>apparently solo tabletop gaming has taken off in the last few yearsOooh, thanks for suggesting this. I had no idea solo TTRPG was a thing.

>>215444It's definitely because of critical role. In the french paper RPG scene for instance critical role had much less of an impact so the dominant setting is Call of Cthulhu and D&D games are rather uncommon
>>215501Vampire The Masquerade is often a blast, it's in a modern setting and it's popular enough that most DMs know roughly the rules
No. 215606

>>232278I think it comes with time like other nonna said. I suffer from pic related so it really did take a while to get better at opening up to others through rping, so anyone can really learn to get there imo.
I just begin developing characters by brainstorming things I find cool, even like other characters from games/books etc I like. Like one time I was coming up with a character and I first said "ok I love Lei Lei from Darkstalkers, so I'm going to use her as a starting point, but make the character male instead" and went from there until I had a surprisingly fleshed out, if zany, character sheet.
Trial and error, nonniekins!
>>234330That sounds like absolute heaven
nonnie, I must admit. I tried with my uni's group but they were such, such touchy little rich fuccbois that I gave up and one guy had an absolute breakdown because he insisted that I had "promised on my life" to give him my Netrunner starter kit, which is OOP and expensive af lmfao. Amazing card game btw hope there's like a sequel to it one day!
As for me currently, I'm thinking of running a game of Don't Rest Your Head, which is about insomniacs who gain reality bending powers upon staying awake too long and entering a weird nightmare plane a lot like the way Silent Hill works, but the power system is soooo fun in it, I swear to god.

>>235937AYRT, I never realized anyone replied to me before the thread fell down the catalog. I was deciding between running Don't Rest Your Head and Trail of Cthulhu for a horror oneshot event recently, and I went with Trail of Cthulhu so I'm curious how Don't Rest Your Head plays. I got really into Trail of Cthulhu scenarios after a successful The Dance in the Blood run and I simply cannot wait to inflict more Lovecraftian horrors on 5e zoomers (yes they're enjoying themselves too). Picrel, if you know you know.

>>251618Sorry if this is off-topic, but I hate that Warhammer is infested with trannies.
My local Games Workshop had a tranny regular who used to make everything fucking awkward whenever he came in. He seemed to change his pronouns by the day, on one occasion insisting to be referred to as 'it', which I refused to do. I swear, one time, he was wearing these leggings so low you could literally see the top of his pubes. He eventually got banned from all Games Workshop stores because he thought it would be a great idea to just casually admit in conversation that he's sexually attracted to children but would never act on it. In a Games Workshop. A place that is literally a glorified toy shop. Where children routinely come to play, paint and hang out.
God, I was so fucking glad to see the back of that fucker.

>>255424ayrp sorry so late. but i just want to paint my little guys but the online groups are so full of disgusting males and “male feminists” who are pushing for female space marines.
Not to get emotionally attached to a game but it would diminish the Sororitas if there was female marines.

I was thinking about running a Kids on Brooms game set in the Winx Club universe for a few friends, since I think the two would mesh well together, but I'm a little stuck on what the actual plot of such a game could be. I ran a Kids on Brooms game earlier this year at my university and ended up really hating the story I was telling. It's hard for me to tell what the stakes should be, since the system has magic but no concrete hit points or anything. I would love some suggestions!
