The full doc is here (character limit) : https://docs.google.com/document/d/1a2jOdevMru4qTWOGlOBkTlHQIi3OqSP76OzcLeuGPJ0/edit?usp=sharingI'm working on a setting for a game, by which I mean I've been shitposting about it with my friend, but I've come up with enough ideas that I actually want to run it now. Help me brainstorm if you want. To be clear I'm not intending to make this a "tg setting", it's just for my own personal game, but feel free to steal any ideas you want for your own thing if you wish, you could even make your own thread. Nothing in the setting has to make sense. The only thing I care about it is that it's whimsical and / or provides the players with fun stuff to interact with. I want to focus on physical, player-facing features. History, deities (if any), religion, and the like are not important at this time. Because of the rule system I'm using, no magic system is required, that's already taken care of. Here's what I have so far.By the way, don't worry about your ideas being good or bad, and please be positive about other people's ideas. If I feel something doesn't fit, I just won't use it.Besides locations and creatures, please feel free to suggest events, adventures, and characters. All characters in the world are talking animals.General idea : basically sword and sorcery but it's like a children's book and takes place in a holiday / dessert / candy-themed world. Pretty much an episode of adventure time.All fauna and terrain is made of some kind of food. All water features (rivers, lakes, etc.) are filled with milk instead of water, and milk has the inherent magical property of being permanently self-chilling, and it is always clean and safe to drink.Important rule : All sapient animals are "normal" (except that they talk and wear clothes). All non-sapient animals are made of food.
>>97176558You know how shellac (that glossy stuff on the surface of some candy) is made from bugs? You could reverse the process and have some of your giant bug monsters feast on your candy supply to get glossier and glossier. The glossier the bug, the more candy it has sucked up, the harder it is to defeat, and the more stuff it drops.
>>97176564Mallowmarsh doesn't have to be an exception if you use condensed milk caramel (or dulce de leche as you might know it).What system are you going to be using?
>>97177117sprinkles are crystals in this universe that form in chocolate caves. Some candy fauna/monster eat them to get covered in sprinkles themselves and gain new strange abilites.
Was thinking giant stickbug/manties that blending into a dark waffle tree forest would be terrifying.
Thanks again, I have implemented several of your ideas

Not him. You're from /tv/ and ESL aren't you? It's always ESLers who call others ESL and lust after alien goth chicks while being generally lazy.

>>97182178>I still blame Kennedy overallAs you should. She was the boss, the buck stops with her. Rian Johnson was a shitty choice (franky, JJ wasn't much better, he had just come off of raping Star Trek, and we want to entrust the other big space fantasy series to him?), but those were her calls and she should have known better.
>>97182178It really just starts and ends with the fact that they never made a trilogy.They just made three movies that happen to have the same characters in them and star wars on the poster.>>97182124TFA is the least bad of the three, but in the end it's just ANH with more lens flare and mystery boxes.>>97182103TLJ is bad on all levels. It's amazing how bad it is. In a way we need to put it in a museum as an example of what not to do.
>>97181931>"Alright, guys. We're gonna take Abrams' first movie, then Johnsons middle movie and Trevarrow's finale. That'll make THE BEST trilogy."This reminds me of an old writing exercise i was given in 4th grade where they split the class into 3 groups and gave us the rough overview of a story (Something about a pair of knights saving a princess from a Dragon) Each member of group 1 wrote a beginning. Group 2 each wrote a middle and Group 3 each wrote an ending. Then, we were split off and took turns putting our stories together.None of them made any sense except for the opening. But the middle and end parts all relied on the knights having stuff that was never set up for them in the other partsIt really taught me about the importance of plot consistency.
>>97182393>It really taught me about the importance of plot consistency.I really think people here who have played TTRPGs, maybe even DMed sessions or written plots, are even more baffled by how badly they dropped the ball.You don't even have to write down every last detail, but for fucks sake just have a rough outline that you stick to and keep your worldbuilding consistent.Every time your story requires a mcguffin to just be there, or you're forced to deus ex machina the characters or plot forward you need to fucking stop and rewrite that shit.
>>97182393>exquisite corpse but as a writing excerciseHonestly an Exquisite Corpse sort of method sounds like a fun way to make droids or uglies. Surprised there isn't more of those in official Star Wars stuff, frankendroids and weird uglies are always fun.

Previous thread: >>97011891GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen. It tells you what extra books and articles you may find useful for many common genres.- How To Be a GURPS GM is a good read even for players.- GCS (gurpscharactersheet.com) is an excellent character-builder software, with page references to all the books and the option to export to both Foundry and Fantasy Grounds.Thread question: How often does Bulk come up in your games? What do you do to make it interesting?
>>97181756>except when it does, like fighting a dragon, which is when your high ST should shine, but the lack of wounding multiplier fucks you if you're using a mace.Lets say you're attacking a dungeon fantasy medium dragon (SM +4, 35 HP, DR 6). You're an ST 17 character with an ordinary flanged mace wielded in one hand and weapon master (mace) plus skill level of at least DX+2. Competing with an equivalent character with an ordinary good-quality axe.You attack the dragon's neck with a normal attack. You do 3d+8 crushing, average of 12.5 past DR, increased to 18.5 with wounding modifier. Axe guy does 3d+7 cutting, average of 11.5 after DR, or 23 after wounding modifier. The axe causes 24% more hit point loss and has a better chance of inflicting a major wound, so it's clearly better, but it isn't 50% better and this is pretty much the worst case scenario. Against goblins, you pretty much just destroy them with one hit each.If it was a case of merely strong (ST 13) characters without weapon master, then the mace would be relatively better. 2d+2 cr vs DR 6 does an average of 4.4 HP to the neck, while 2d+1 cut does 4.6. That's only about a 2.5% improvement! To the torso, it would be 3.1 HP vs. 3.2, which is again a pretty small difference.There are a few cases, such as opponents with vulnerability to crushing or mail armour where the mace is actually a bit better.But yeah, the less you care about flat bonuses to damage and the more you care about multipliers, the worse crushing weapons look. This means that for super-strong characters, they are often sub-optimal.
GURPS Bestiary (for 3rd edition) has a pretty weird version of the snolligoster; a hairy, legless crocodile with a spike on its back. All the depictions of a snolligoster I can find online are a kind of bird-reptile thing, sometimes with one eye and mouth-tentacles. Anyone know where the bestiary version is from?
>>97182334Fearsome Creatures of the Lumberwoods (1910) by W. T. Cox. In that book, it is said to reside in Florida, and presumably is part of the folklore / tall-tale-tradition of that state (but, equally, could have been made up entirely for the purposes of folklore collections).The bird-reptile thing is apparently a Maryland thing, called a 'snallygaster' or 'schneller-gheist' (fast-ghost).The similarities in naming seem unlikely to be a coincidence. The Maryland one is older, as far as I can tell, and has some actual etymology. I guess the Florida version came from stories from Maryland being reported, 'snolligoster' coming to be a general term for a silly monster, and eventually getting attached to a specific take in the early 20th century.
>>97182207>You attack the dragon's neck with a normal attackYou can't. SM+0 human fighting an SM+4 medium dragon uses the "Up to six feet of vertical difference" rules under Combat at Different Levels, ie the human can only attack the dragon's legs (and the dragon gets +3 to defend against it). So it's actually 12.5 injury with a mace vs 23 with an axe, so the axe is x1.84 times more effective. In fact, given medium dragons have HP 35, the axes are likely able to cripple each leg with one hit as a major wound, while it would take two hits for a mace.The favorable hit locations that favors maces are limited and often the cutting damage gets the same benefits.
>>97182423Correction: I was still applying the x2 wounding modifier from cutting attack to necks for the axe. The actual expected injury is 17.25, or x1.38 the mace damage. Not nearly as good as I previously wrote about but still decent, and a slightly better than average damage can still cripple the legs with one hit.
