Oh hey trips

This >>98321451 post got me itching for Egyptian femboy action but I'm too lazy for solo games, I'll look into Labyrinthus or that ironsworn hack but I already know the horny will not beat the lazy

Tried Labyrinthus. The game is very well designed and it reminds me of 4AD in how it plays, but it's clear that it was made with female characters in mind: Actually trying to play like a cassanova spreading your seed around is punishing af even with the feats, and prowess loss will lock you into a vicious circle.
Is there any game or supplement or system out there actually meant for power fantasy male-led adventures? I've seen anons here mention Scarlet Heroes and some particular supplement or homebrew, but they only brag about shit without ever delivering.

Nothing by Howard is really like that? The Goddess in the Snow fits but that's a metaphorical thing.
Conan is a power fantasy, he is desired by women not the other way around. The quintessential formats are The Slithering Serpent and The People of the Black Circle.
You're thinking of Bjorn or Sprague shit. Howard was quite sexless compared to contemporary pulp which is why it shifted to mainstream and got marvel comics.
The gooner shit doesn't fit Conan honestly, I stay clear of the crap by later authors.

That one was weird, as she clearly enchanted Conan, but she only did that so her brothers could kill him and then it backfired when he killed them and is still chasing her

Figure I'd pitch this idea: attractive Deep One Hybrids in Delta Green/Call of Cthulhu

I think anyone who plays either of those games long enough, well some of the horror of the Deep Ones fades over time because you can instantly tell who they are as soon as you describe someone with flappy lips, bulbous eyes, and a balding, pallid face.

Having Deep One Hybrids that look human I think can create more paranoia. NPCs that players befriend could be part of a Deep Ones Cult, shit their spouse or kids could be part Deep One without them even realizing.

Anyone have any experience with this?

It'll create more of something in your players, but I'm not sure if it'll be paranoia

>>98293101
I really like running it.
It's fast, it's pretty clear, it gives roleplay prompts but if a player doesn't do anything interesting with them life goes on, it's pretty deadly but it feels fair (you could die on the first attack you take but that would requiere three bad rolls, each with more chances of failure soplayers are eased into acceptance). There's a shit ton of content and the basic book is just a SRD so your experience hinges a lot on what you run.
I heavily recommend Bloom. It has some mechanical issues, HP and damage are expressed in a weird but consistent way, but it's a great small dungeon that starts all atmospheric until it turns into a mad dash for survival while at some point you start getting hit with personal body horror. I think it covers all the bases without feeling too obvious or cliche.

>>98320795
the other way around
start making normal people uglier
The meme is saying that the deep ones are just italians described as monsters, do that to regular people. That will set some paranoia.

Deep One hybrids look like normal people until they get older and transform. They could start as attractive. The family tree of the narrator in The Shadow over Innsmouth must have looked attractive at first. It's likely how the Innsmouth look was not noticed.

Holy fuck, this seems good. I've never played Chain of Command, can someone tell me their opinions about it? From a quick read it seems like a superior version of BA, a "light" game but one that gives a shit about the period/troops involved.

I have been on a massive phyrexian MtG binge lately and have a character idea i wanna bounce off of you guys:
A character that due to a magical mishap got transported from Faerun to the realm of Lorwyn. There they got infected by phyrexian oil before being brought back to Faerun, though the shock of forced planar travel to their system killed them. However they were resurrected through occult means and now wanders Faerun trying to stop their growing phyrexian oil corruption.
Essentially a reborn where every time they level up the infection grows and they shift piece by piece into a pyrexian horror.
I figured it could work since the MtG realms are technically connected to the same multiverse as the DnD 5e planes

It's... complicated. A tentative explanation is that this body was made to contain the soul of an Old Clan Tzimisce lady from Ukraine who came to the US called Zoryana
>GOOD EVENING
and a long lived ghoul whom the Giovanni had recently given the embrace from China, who also came to the US, called Lianhua
>晚上好
Lianhua was also taught Japanese because her Sire, who is the same Kindred who also created this arrangement, is Japanese: she goes by the nickname Spider Lily and decreed I ought to be her younger sister in her bloodline and noble family.
Now, "this body", "made", "contain", "soul", "created" and "arrangement" are all provisional terms, and the greatest mystery of them all is... who or what is the person typing these messages and her relationship with Zoryana and Lianhua. Is it a third person? A partial or complete fusion of the two? Is there only one Star Lotus and the other two are mere voices in her head? Or one or two wraiths with her body as a fetter?
Like I said, it's complicated, because I'm not just *in* uncharted territory, I *AM* the uncharted territory.
I am studying Necromancy in Venice with the Sire of my 姉上 as I search for answers.

From the design team that brought you the Thruster and the Thrustmidget, desperate times call for desperate measures. Able to inflict the equivalent damage of 6 AC/20 hits to any targets within 30 meters, the Warboy is designed to wait in ambush and pounce unsuspecting grouped enemy formations before blowing itself up taking everyone around it with it in a spectacular explosion. If waiting is not your style then the stripped down construction and stealth armor presents a difficult target to hit. As we don't anticipate pilots to be using this machine for long we have stripped back some of the long term amenities of this machine.

Easy to Maintain, Rugged 1, Bad Reputation, Difficult Ejection
Good evening, Your Highnesses. As the inheritor of the Swordsman's design and its surviving factory on Robinson, it is my honor to present you with the Zweihander; a revision of the venerable BattleMech that even our most overburdened supply lines can sustain.

The Zweihander's simplified frame and components can be maintained by anyone with a basic understanding of BattleMech engineering and manufactured in nearly any IndustrialMech factory. In place of the standard fusion reactor, a 145-rated Fuel Cell has been mounted to reduce strain on repair teams. We have similarly designed its ammunition bays to be compatible with missiles and rifle rounds from up to three centuries ago. Modern weapon systems allow the SWD-2's upgraded offensive capabilities to be retained even with these more basic components; One ton of missiles supply a MML5 pack, using a bin compatible with any SRM and LRM loads available. The arm-mounted machine guns are similarly fed by a half-ton of ammunition, and chambered in the same calibre that our infantry uses to further ease logistics. Even if ammunition can not be sourced, a Medium Laser over the shoulder and Sword carried in the right hand serve as reliable reserve weapons. Should conditions improve after deployment, an upgrade package to bring the Zweihander to previous standards can easily be prepared and installed with the appropriate facilities.

Seven years ago, the Word of Blake laid waste to my homeworld. A number of you have seen the damage in person. I say this not to beg for your pity or charity, but to remind you of the dire conditions in which we are still able to build the Zweihander. I have no doubt that countless more planets that have been ravaged by the Jihad would be able to do the same.

Hate is a strong word...but for someone whose motivations and actions Keet would intrinsically dislike, Nowan would probably be at the top of the list, preserving people's faces at the cost of silencing their voices. Just because his voice is extra special doesn't mean he can't hear the notes others contribute to the symphony of life. Snuffing that for the sake of, not even a proper display, just one's own personal memory, is repugnant to him. Other characters of dubious morality engender within him, at most, pity, though not usually enough to intervene in physical force being used against them.

Incidentally, looking over some character entries in the CYOA itself, I have some observations about some powers the general may have been wrong about. Or maybe it was just me.

Based on Kotaro Yorubi's entry in the Healer section, Chants can be selective in who they affect. Meanwhile, Amarant and Ganymede's sections indicate that Truth of Life is all that's necessary to "convert" elemental magic into healing, especially when paying close attention to the text of Truth of Life itself. I get the impression that all the characters, with the exception of Alis, have powers that we could also have, but I'm still not sure how Anfisa in the Mage section is able to do what she does - some twist on Wordless Understanding maybe?

You just need to look at the archives for proof. It's very easy to prove I'm right.

>looking over some character entries in the CYOA itself, I have some observations about some powers the general may have been wrong about
The other candidates don't have access to the same powers as us, and vice versa. We clearly have a different pool to choose from, a very varied pool that allows us to fit any of the listed roles and more, but still a different one. They have some exclusive powers that we can have a bootleg version of or mimic in other ways.
Doesn't really matter much for our characters, since we all have the same pool, but it may be useful to know for NPCs and stuff.
