Marc Miller, too.
First Traveller LBB literally suggests solo play.

>>97372650
I like it quite a lot, though it definitely supports playing as an Aragorn clone who can hold his own in ranged and melee combat alike the most. I have not checked out any supplements, but in the Moria expansion there is also kind of a party management system for dwarf colonists, and in Realms of the Three Rings there is an option to play powered up solo elf-lord character which might add survivability to less robust solo PCs.

>At no point does Tolkien's world-view prevent ontologically Evil races

No, but his text does.

"Nothing is evil in the beginning. Even Sauron was not so."
- Gandalf

A lorelet is you, Anon. Tolkien had a character old enough and wise enough and knowledgeable enough to be considered an authority on the subject, directly state that *nothing is innately evil*.

He didn't say "nothing, except Orcs".
He didn't say "nothing, although after successive generations it might become an innate part of a thing".

Nothing. Period. And he even points to the most Evil thing currently extant in Middle-earth and says "he didn't start that way".

*Oops, meant to say Elrond. Mea culpa. Does not undermine my point since Elrond is likewise old enough, wise enough, and knowledgeable enough to be considered an authority on the subject.

>>97394592
>>97394600
NTA but "nothing" isn't the exact same as "no one". You'd have to have a very high opinion of free will and individualism to interpret that as meaning that individual orcs have free will to just not do orc shit.
I read that as "ontologically evil orcs come from something that wasn't originally ontologically evil", if you catch my meaning. Once they are transformed into orcs, they are now ontologically evil. But I am a lorelet, so I have nothing to back that up with and I didn't care for the Silmarilion.

Requesting a Celtic theme warrior who's a half dragon, but more human looking. He's pretty muscular and fair skin with patches of black dragon scales on his body. His horns are similar like a black dragon's though curving up. His hair slicked black and blond. He wears a great kilt and a gold neck ring. Uses a pole-arm and hook as his weapon of choice. He's a pretty savage type of guy.

WIP.

I can still adjust pose ecc. So if you have any suggestions or compaints please mention them, And I will try and accomodate.

>Urban Fantasy setting
>Post Apocalyptic War between modern scientific civilization and the Dark Lord's ancient empire
>Single superpower that won the War reigned dominant for nearly two centuries, now decaying due to psychotic power struggles between the camps of populist strongmen and everyone else
>Everyone knows this is the best chance to make a move, nobody wants to be the first
>Mutually Assured Destruction inevitable due to orbital laser arrays, ICBMs, AI drone swarms on the science side and dragons on the magic side

Since nobody can officially make War anymore, but everyone has both means and motive to do so, the world is torn apart by non-stop genocides and terrorist acts done by so-called non state actors that are being funded and sometimes controlled by one of the many states.

The dishonesty and secrecy is honestly more chaotic than actual war.

You're thinking too hard. Just pick a trope and stick with it. I've played Fighters as a party face before. If he's an honorable warrior then think about knights and samurai and roleplay the actions and speech that those would do. Go out of your way to do things "properly" in social situations. Treat the dead with respect. Challenge people to honor duels. Always be the first one in and the last one out. Pay lip service to people's titles and lineage

>TQ
My DMPC is an Orc Druid who is a member of a displaced tribe looking to either take back their old home or find a new one, and has been conducting raids on the other sentient folk in the region to support themselves while the chiefs argue politics and try to gain resources for whichever plan of action they end up agreeing on. Individual orcs (including those in power) may argue for cooperation with the other races for pragmatic reasons, but they come from a long line of conquerors and there are those who would stay true to that lineage at all costs.

>>97394508
>and there are those who would stay true to that lineage at all costs.
God, I fucking hated Garrosh. Making that little shit into warchief got me to reroll Alliance.

>>97394565
I rolled Troll and thankfully got clean before Garrosh really became a central figure in the storyline, but my DMPC would agree. If my players interact with the tribe, it'll be interesting to see which camp they back.

Hello, gamers. This is a plot structure question, I've got the storyfagging down pretty well but I do need some help from more experienced DMs how to pace this. Descriptions of "real history" are nothing more than me giving the immediate analogue for quick and easy digestion.

Custom setting based on the immediate aftermath of a vast magical conflict between the Byzantine Empire and Sassanids, the collapse of the Roman Empire was due to the arrival of magic into the world which triggered a Witcher-style "convergence of the spheres" event. Very bad time. The PCs are in Antioch where the final stages of the war were fought. They are here to collect family members or artifact items lost during the war.

The PCs will be assaulted at the warehouse where these grave goods are kept by an agent of what is known as the "Tyrantine Cabal," a secret organization that believes the arrival of magic into the world is Bad, Actually and they need to destroy it. The means of doing this is simple; magic is based on mental and emotional value transmuted into magical/spiritual energy, classic Chaos stuff. Therefore, the way to destroy magic is to produce such a monstrous emotional feedback to the Source that it dies from the shock. This is planned to be done through killing a son of God with a shard of God's own body.

Anyway, the agent and his cronies are at the Warehouse to steal the PCs goods, because they are infused with a strong source of "Nostalgia," which is a new form of magical resonance made by the hunger for something that is lost. All of the PCs were asked to write stories about loss and yearning for a past that can never be remade.

>>97394536
This is where I'm puttering, because I need to figure out some way for the PCs to get "hooked" into the greater metaplot and find some reason to stick together, while also being obviously "special" by outside observers which puts them into the interests of power blocs within the city. The thought I had is that the Agent used powdered honey from a "Mellified Man" (basically, a honey mummy thought to contain vast magical and restorative powers) who was made during the chaotic early years of magic coming into the world, and they breath in that powder which gets them "noticed" by the Mellified Man - this has humorous connotations for players because they could say their characters now have diabetes (or the popsicle man, you know how players love to find a good way to meme about story), but I can also see it as a sort of... The Mellified Man wants them to "get over" their loss, because while the Tyrantine Cabal has savage means, they believe the ends justify them - and, more importantly, the Mellified Man was made to help people, and -

- I don't know, I'm not able to put it into concise words without rambling which is why I know it's something I need to "settle into," lock in as the kids say. The goal is to ultimately instill within them some secret knowledge or connection to the Tyrantine Cabal and the head honcho involved (who, himself, suffers from serious yearnings to a less tumultuous past.) Maybe this is just DM anxieties and I should stick with the honey powder which gives them funky visions of their lost loved ones (alongside the Jesus Figure that's trying to help them through it) but it feels like, "you sniff a strange sweet powder and now you're locked in" feels very railroady. Which isn't *bad,* mind you, because the early sessions need to be where you get players settled into their place within the world, but I'm still fighting through what could've actually happened.
