/top/ - Board and Card games

Here you can talk about board games, card games, and anything related to that.

Important info
To roll dice on the board format it like so [(dice amount)d (dice type)] for example if you posted

["1"d"20"] You will get {1d20}||[ 1d20 = 6 ] and you will get a random dice roll.

Will be posting pdfs to source books and more in this thread shortly.

Ofc the ugly ogre without a single thought of his own in his head decided to have Black Templars instead of Orks

Imagine giving WotC money.

Discussing oWod (cWoD for posers) became impossible on cuckchan /tg/ over ten years ago, especially due to magefags and vampifags being autistic or /pol/ vs tumblrfags derailing threads.
If there are at least two more retards here who know what I'm talking about or are interested in learning more about the lore or Storyteller System we could play here.

Chess is a tactical turn based RPG developed by a bunch of street shitting monkeys hoping to cash in on the long dead Final Fantasy Tactics hype.
Right away you'll notice Chess has no storyline. Instead, all you notice is the the White army and the Black army are fighting each other over a battlefield. Note the "a battlefield," because Chess only has one story map. As for the actual combat, it's extremely dull. Each unit can kill another with only one hit. This means units with a real good movement ability dominate the field (more on that bellow). There aren't even any combat animations or anything that happens in combat. One unit moves on it's space and "captures" it, and the piece is removed from the game with no form of action or special effects.
Yawn.

Chess has shitty class balance. The Queen is flat out overpowered while your actual front line units, the Pawns. can't do shit. I think the developers were afraid that no one would use the female character so they buffed up her abilities really high but now there's no point in using any other unit. The rest of the units suck. Rooks can only move in 4 directions, same with Bishops. Boring. Also, what's up with the Knight? It has the most bizarre combat abilities of all the units. They're retardedly hard to use cause they jump around like retards to move and attack. The devs should have named this unit Ninja, since Knights didn't jump around like that in real life. Worst part, is the king. You see, the devs decided that if your king gets captured, you instantly lose the game. What the actual fuck did they mean by this? This wouldn't be a problem, except that he can't move for crap. Seriously, the most important unit in the game can only move 1 space a turn? Good luck keeping him alive while every other unit in the game dances around him.

Unbalanced classes, lackluster gameplay, and not to mention repetitive 1 hour+ games. Chess is not worth the time or your money. Go pirate SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays or Gensou Shoujo Taisen E instead.
3 out of 10.

>there are people on /top/ RIGHT NOW who don't have beautiful interracial children

What the fuck is wrong with you guys?

I keep watching other people play DnD. I don't care how gay 5e is, I want to play it so bad. God dammit.

I've seen so many people try and save their money for the expensive properties, especially Boardwalk. But from my experience, a much better strategy is to buy up as much property as possible as quickly as possible. I've won more games by building houses and hotels on the orange and red properties early game than I have ever have with the dark blues. Railroads are good too. In fact whenever play Monopoly these days, the other players conspire with each other to stop me from buying up all the railroads because their traumatized by how badly I beat them with just the railroads in the past.
