>>97201560Alright. Thanks anon. I'll keep that in mind. I'll need to brainstorm a bit more. Maybe I'll save the more esoteric name for something else like what they call themselves or something.

What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97217683>dudes with huge dongs swinging aroundThat sounds... unsafe...
>>97217698It was fine anon, impetus to get good.
>>97201773>>97205510More then just lobbyists, the 'Brethren of the Lighthouse' were almost in total control of the city of L'Anguille, and their merchant-council were debating if their campaign should be for independence from the Duchy within Brettonia, or a straightforward independence movement from Brettonia.
>>97217698you simply just cut the dongs off your enemies before they cut yours off
>>97217616>Sorry, in my setting everyone has a juicy chest, even the menbased
What's the most exotic location the players have traveled to in your game?
>>97217605Your premise is nothing but retardedly jacking off over semantics. You're not discussing on good faith.
>>97217650Why are you posting on an English-dominant website if you hate the English language?
>>97217453This is a redditor thread newfag
>>97196534This looks like shit.
>>97202276Cool. That's as distant as you can get.
Does your character treat figures of authority with deference or are they a cheeky bugger?
>>97216656Your character sounds insufferable. Wouldn't be allowed in my game
>>97217680Well, wouldn't want to be in your so called game. I like actually playing rather than just acting like I play.
>>97189073My noble Elf adventurer would call him a nigger and his elf wife a snow bunny to his face. I'm a High Elf Prince from the Eastern Forest.

>>97216656Sounds like an intense guy
Chaos is the least interesting part of 40k.>Comprised entirely of humans for no reason>Just copy-pastes of Imperial units but tackier>Chaos xenos absent for no reason>Khorne forces redundant with Orks>Slaanesh forces redundant with Dark Eldar>Constantly competing with Tyranids for spot of "Biggest Threat to the Galaxy"
>>97215660Laer don't have minis. Tzaangors are Beastmen and thus Humans. Chaos Eldar have no units.>>97211086It's just the truth. Chaos wasn't even a thing in Rogue Trader, while Tyranids were from the start.
>>97217876Eldar are barely in this IP and don't count.
>>97215597>Does 40k even have any concrete examples of Orks worshipping Chaos or a random Demon or something?There are two metal models of stormboyz of khorne and a model of an ork chaos champion, and there's art of nurgle orks.
>>97213795Why would they hate xenos while rejecting the imperial truth that hates xenos?
>>97218752They are still human supremacist, despite worshipping Chaos.The War of Beast even made the Iron Warriors team up with some Imperial Fists for a time
>wizard invests fortune in spell research>doesn’t write an article about it>doesn’t allow peer review, never submits to journal >nothing is ever published And don’t get started on how few alumni of the magic academy ever come back to teach instead of going private.
It's a campus Paladins had to be called in because an undergrad fucked up again episode.>>97215933Clever
>>97214258The main problem is that it has been completely taken over by various groups and governments who only want to promote nationalism or political theater. So the only things that can be published now are 90% propaganda for the country or reigning political party. There likely has not been a single paper that is kinda sorta objective since the 1970s at the latest.
>>97213257Nah, only you should.
>>97218740To this same argument, India (or the Archaeological Survey of India) is the reason why just about any element of discussion on the Indus Valley Civilization is repeatedly claimed to be the single most advanced amazing, fairy tale civilization as well as the oldest ever discovered in all human history. We are required to note how they were the first actual non-nomadic, indoor dwelling people to have existed on earth, while also stating that they were more advanced than even early 20th century modern nations. There was a concerted effort to ensure that any discovery made post 2001 leave mention that the cities Harappa and Mohenjo-daro were more sophisticated than any other pre-20th century city in the world, and without any factual evidence for the claim. It was a requirement by several individuals involved in the Archaeological Survey of India. which has only become significantly worse due to twenty years of hearsay and rumors.
>>97213377Caution, rather.
Anyone planning to play any Christmas Specials? One-shots or variations on your regular game? Our group often has a Christmas special of some kind, either some unique silly monsters, or the current party portalled to the North Pole, or some villain stole all their magic items for presents, that kind of thing. What does your group do for the holidays?
>>97215516I have only taken part in one christmas themed game and it was not a good game at all. It seems like it was roughly ripped off from some podcast christmas game the gm sent everyone ahead of time, ended up being a railroad with obviously no mechanical inputs based on dice at the end, didn't really feel like a game. A bit of silly fun being joke animal characters and everyone played along to not hurt his feelings but it was not a thing I would have done if I could have avoided it and holyshit did it take too long.
Here are some holiday-themed monsters for Christmas, Halloween, Easter, etc. that anons can add to their games.https://dm-paul-weber.tumblr.com/post/145528959652/a-70-page-creation-to-add-madness-and-depth-to
Finishing a tabletop role-playing campaign and giving it an ending is a good feeling.
>>97215817And water is wet, yes.Which thread were you trying to slide, again?
>>97216170OP never in his life played a single TTRPG, so there is no story
>>97217393No, water is not wet.
>>97215955>>97217398Sour grapes faggot>>97216170Not much to tell other than it felt good to give everything closure. The players had fun finishing it and a lot of npcs they met turned up before the final fight. I don't get why some people do these never-ending campaigns. So far "shorter" scenarios with definite endings seemed more fun to me.
Bot thread>97218155>stuff happenedObscure bot answer.
What's the best version of BRP?I hear that it has pretty quick and lethal combat, and is very much for more grounded games, which is the kind of games I prefer to run. I also really enjoyed the fanmade Fallout PnP system that used percentile dice, and the combat in that.However I am also aware that apparently Chaosium released newer versions that apparently were bad.Which one is good?
I don't think the new editions are bad. They do have more options and try to cover more universal ground, which may or may not be just useless bloat to you, especially considering that is all in the default character sheets. Since you like lethal and grounded combat, you could also look into Mythras as an even more lethal and combat focused D100 game alternative.

>>97216971Jesus Christ, what happened to Sora??? It looks like a collage of prefabricated elements, not a natural scene. And skin texture is so wrong new word will have to be needed to describe how wrong it is. Is it famous "new model"?

>>97216223It is over for me. The dwarf has killed me. Will anyone find my body? No. It is underground and after the dwarf has relieved my decaying corpse of its valuables, the giant snake will eat the rest. Noone will ever find me, deep underground, far from the human society which I have rejected by traveling there. It is what I deserve.

Trying to get some meat on my sci fi setting. You come in and ask a question, and I'll answer it as best as I can, or make an answer.The Nations of the galaxy have achieved a level of technology that is divine. No natural process or fundamental law is beyond man's reach. Stars are playthings, megastructures are mass produced, causality, probability, and many other things are manipulated. Neo Babylon, the capital of the Sublime Defense Federation, is hosted entirely in the first man-made dimension. Each Nation’s grasp over their respective populace is ironclad in absolute belief, each a bastion of total unity in the name of their cause. The final regimes of history will rule until the end of all.To quell its own members, the Federation both deploys its own warmachines and Painkillers, superhuman martial artists known as Tenfold Warriors that have come under the Federation's banner. Their surgical strikes keep the galaxy from tearing itself apart or the very universe from being altered by transcendent technology.The Federation, unfortunately, exists for a reason beyond its own members. For even if the Federation's Nations warred among themselves with less constant frequency, the Entity would still exist. The overwhelming tide of sapient biomass that fills the universe completely and encircles this only known bastion of space, the Milky Way. For this purpose, the Federation has created Golems; machines only Tenfold Warriors are able to pilot without dying from the extreme stresses on the body piloting one demands.

Would the Al Zutt be a good basis for a fantasy raceIn arab literature they were described as very tall, lean, strong, hardy man with very dark skin normally used for hard work and also know for their virility and sexual nature
>>97209594https://1d6chan.miraheze.org/wiki/Araby
>>97209594No because they are described as a human race. It would be like making gypsies a type of creature different from humans.
