How do you actually design sessions? I've been a Bookcel for so long that I forgot what it means to design a 4+ hour session, especially first sessions of a campaign.
>>97339121>Pathfinder 2eDo your players know what they are getting into with a build-autism, overly balanced kind of system? A serious question, as I found it fell apart after a short time when trying to do something that wasn't official Paizo crap.
>>97336727This is my dream prep, how do you actually do it? What kind of game do you run?
>>97340689They do! They actually do. We’re all grogs at this table, and the youngest of us know what they’re getting into. Pathfinder 2e has shortcomings and they’re aware of them.
>>97339121>Pathfinder 2e, level 1Okay, far from what I tend to run so input is limited on my end sorry. My understanding of it will be entirely based on pf1st ed and that era of 5 room dungeon combat style gameplay. You've got a few tones like >Nostos, Pothos and a fairly cohesive world but need to tie that into the characters and gameplay. You might have to deal with a few contrivances to get the game going like >everyone starts knowing each other from the battle of xyz where magic was of apocalyptic or at least disastrous impact Have a world reference document that's fairly short everyone can read ahead of time, make characters together, run a short rp where they all discuss how they got to know each other as memories and ties from a previous experience. Might be able to do something where they're all travelling in a wagon to encounter 1, everyone gets to describe a feature of the world or a note about features you describe. You're going to want to be contextualizing places and history as you go without making it too much of a lore dump so might be able to off load some of that to the players by having key features and events, then asking them to locate their characters in relation to the events, or their predecessors.
>>97337129Yeah, he's kinda missing the point. I've found the best way to organize sessions is kind of a hybrid of node-based dungeon design and script design for a show.You figure out the start to the episode/session, where the characters are and their environment and (if necessary) what instigating event you need to stage to kick off play. That can be anything as simple as rumors of a dungeon in a D&D game to having a man burst into a bar with a gun. Even wild narrative-focused games still want your episodic hook, so if a PC wakes up on the White House lawn buck naked with a cell phone and a revolver, that's where you're coming from.You then map out a timeline of events and places that come from this starting point. Major beats, landmarks, characters and items are the name of the game here. You can always go back in and fill up detail, but you want to basically sketch out these spaces with room for more. One of these nodes is your climax, where you think players are going to go and where you want to put the most effort, for a lot of games this is going to be the big combat encounter, so you want to have as much to work with there as possible (if you only draw one battlemap, this is the one to draw).Then you go back through, reorganize these nodes and add extras; either as random encounter interruptions or as alternate paths. In play you don't need to use all of these, if the players don't go to the bar you made, you don't have to force them to go, you can use the bar later in another session, or maybe they'll even double back. Ultimately you need to be flexible, and if the PCs don't go to your big planned finale? Play it by ear. If you've played enough games with them you should have a pile of notes you can improvise with. Everything is reusable, and if the players haven't seen it it's new to them, so it doesn't matter if the ship map you made for fighting the undead pirate king in a hidden grotto doesn't get used today, it will be used tomorrow.
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97337300Is this supposed to be an example? This looks like a human with fake ears and some makeup.

>>97343803Yeah, he might be a little ugly from the front, but I like him nevertheless. The janky look kinda works since he's going to be serving as my daemon prince. Maybe the rider is actually the daemon prince, or maybe it's the chimera or the heavy bolter. Who knows? I just hope daemon princes are fun, I've been getting a little bit bored of the games I play always revolving around my chaos warrior death star and the characters I stuff into it. Regardless, we'll just have to see. I'll have to give him a proper name first.

>>97226240I'm kind of out of the loop because I'm not usually a /tg/ guy, would anyone be so kind as to give me a QRD on what's going on with Gundam Assemble? I saw the announcement ages ago and was kind of interested because I'd like to get into wargaming type stuff but up until now haven't seen any wargames that I like (not interested in GW stuff or historicals). I checked up on it today and it seems maybe I was totally off the mark and it was actually some kind of TCG related thing and not actually a wargame...
>>97340928The models were released in a promo pack with the card game as a teaser. It's still an exclusive game to be played with minis, it just isn't out yet. They just announced it way before release for some reason.
>>97335394>>97335223The CEF plastic Frame sculpts are so bad I'm actually considering learning 3D modelling just so I can make better ones for myself.
>>97345047unfortunately DP9 suffers from a terminal lack of ambition, but maybe that's how they've survived for so long on the periphery of scifi miniature wargaming when GW raped everyone else
>>97345179It's better to stay niche. Avoid all the shit that's going on outside comfy mecha game. I'll settle with the third Heavy Gear game doing well and the minis getting updooted.

>>97334560As Ultimate Warrior once said "Queerin' don't make the world work." populations wouldn't last long without magic or cloning and it would be a lame setting if that didn't have some kind of consequence.
>>97345321Actually evolutionary theory currently concludes that homosexuality is beneficial for reproduction for the same reason as menopause. Having adult, productive members of a social species who are not reproducing allows the development and passage of skills. Most mammals don't go through menopause. Humans do. Why? To produce grandparents. Because they're beneficial in the long term. Same with the gays, anon. Looks like it's a beneficial survival strategy.

What's a fun way to introduce NTR elements into my Eberron game?
>>97336524It's literally one sperg either ban evading or like two on discord. One guy got banned and like 20 posts disappeared kek.

>>97321552Bro cuckoldry/cheating was very common amongst nobles and the poor, it isn't very hard to create situations around them.
>>97321565It means cuck shit
easy, mind control. The villain has mind control powers, and those under their thrall seem to really enjoy it and become very dismissive of their previous life.You get NTR and mind control with a thin veneer off deniability
>>97341656This, but make it a handsome dude instead of a woman. A man with mind control powers who uses them to encourage women into sex is probably a nightmare for most people.

>>97336771Good selection, though now I'm curious. It sounds like this is your protégé's first run-in with anything inhuman. She has ran into something before, right?
>>97339431>She has ran into something before, right?Of course, that's the reason I took interest in her. Going from being a victim to actively hunting monsters is not that easy. I'm trying to start off with relatively easy threats, can't go throwing her at demons or other stuff like taht right off the bat.
>>97342709Right yeah, that sounds...ah that's why. It was asked before. I think. That's what I get for recovering from a concussion. Anyway, I bet that first hunt will be righteous. Having a student to mentor sounds fun, I suppose I should keep an eye out.

been messing with using roll for the shoes mechanics for plot instead of just attributes. mixed results so far, on one hand it gives you structure and pushes things forward, on the other it feels kinda tedious and potentially limiting
So, best system for a Star Wars solo?
>>97344432>>OPSE>What's that?One Page Solo Engine, it is a minimalist gamemaster emulator. PICREL. >>97344462No prob!
>>97345107>>97345107Depends what you would consider best, do you like it crunchy or not?You can use your preferred non-solo mechanics and use a gamemaster emulator with it.Or, you can use a solo space-themed system, something like Starforged, which is very Star-Wars-inspired, even the art and the font makes it very clear.>>97286845
>>97344752Then, what did you used for generating the plot before that?
