The campaign's canon trumps official canon, simple as. As far as your table is concerned, your barghesi are the true barghesi.

Not him but then just put a thing saying it differs from GW canon because it was written before the new lore was revealed, should solve issues.

>>97381114
>People always confuse me on this. If you don't like the lore just... don't use it?
The problem is a game requires other people. I can say "I want to run a game pre-rift" but if my entire friend group says "no, we want to play post rift" then bam, no game. Sometimes you use the lore you hate to get a game, or stick to your guns and get no game because it's easier to get a paid gm than compromise nowadays.

>>97381114
If it's the barghesi pdf I'm thinking of, the guy imagined them as crustaceans / sea arthropods. Sadly, most GMs are gonna see that, say "that isn't real barghesi, where are the dogs" and ignore it.

One of the things I love about Tolkein is that he left room for even himself to speculate about the histories of the setting. "World builders" want too much to be encyclopedic.

>>97379511
>he took orc
So he didn't create a new word, he attributed a new meaning to a preexisting word. Like the word bank was in existence to refer to river banks but when it began being used for a place to story money the word wasn't invented.
I don't know why this is such a hard thing to understand for you. It takes nothing away from Tolkien or his works or his intelligence. He just found an word he liked the sound and look of and used it for the name of a creature he invented.

Sauron forged the one ring in secret.
Tolkien wrote LOTR in secret.
You're welcome.

Also Tom Bombadil is Tolkien's editorial addition to the story, this is obvious because unlike every other character in the story the ring has absolutely no effect on Bombadil. That is to say, he's totally alien to the internal logic of the narrative.
In the words of Lewis, "sheer sub creation".

The one ring isn't a metaphor for power or the ego or nuclear weapons, that's all nonsense.
It's a metaphor for the LOTR itself.

Tolkien is Sauron, at least part of him is. His cruelty, hatred, malice, his will to dominate all life. Mordor is a spitting image of the western front of WWI.
The other part of him he put into Bombadil, a child's doll he used to entertain his kids.

Sauron, totally obsessed with the ring. Bombadil, totally ambivalent and engaged with other things.
As the story itself becomes bifurcated after the breaking of the fellowship, Tolkien separated between himself.

Ring makes you disappear?
Bombadil makes ring disappear.

He looks through the ring, winking at the hobbits.
His eye represents here the eye of Sauron himself, but of a kindly blue aspect.

Pure pottery.

There.

>>97300419
I don't know why?

>>97373558
Oh, sorry, I didn't realise you were ESL. Let me explain what he's saying:
>It does not.
This part is immediately after being asked if NotLD feels like a political film to him. As you can see, he clearly says no, which should be the end of it really for you.
>I can see why it seemed that way.
Here's him saying he gets why idiots might think otherwise (amazing really, he predicted you).
>But it doesn’t seem that way right now to me. Maybe it’s because I can’t erase the things that were in our minds when we were making the film.
Now, here's where you're deeply confused and missed the context. The first sentence is him re-affirming it's not political. The second sentence is him giving a reason why it's not political (because what was in his mind when making the film was making a horror film, no politics involved).

Glad I could clear that up for you, let me know if there's any other cases of basic English that confuse you.

I had a friend who wrote his own dungeon where the secret to open a door was for each party member to climb into 4 separate sarcophogi that you couldn't see into and instantly paralyzed you when you got into them. Everyone else at the table seemed to think it was a genius puzzle.

>>97377832
A result that could also mean that it is a type of portal. Tomb of Horrors makes a point of having a bunch of different traps that look and act similarly but have vastly different results. It is a dungeon designed to test players not PCs and assumes that the players will metagame.

>>97378198
I guess my wording was too vague. I mean, it should be immediately obvious that it isn't just a hole in the wall when the PC gets bodily sucked in. Yeah, it *could* be a portal, but I wouldn't immediately follow someone into a portal that sucks you into it, assuming that it'd probably lead some somewhere sketchy.

I'm not saying it would be immediately obvious as a sphere of annihilation, just that most of the stories I read where "and then they all followed the first guy in and everyone died!" Make it sound like it's just climbing into a ventilation shaft or something.

>>97378275
Part of the context often left out is that there is a "hint message" that can be discovered.

>"Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you’ll discover.
>Shun green if you can, but night’s good color is for those of great valor.
>If shades of red stand for blood the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal — you’re well along your march.
>Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
>These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.
>If you find the false you find the true and into the columned hall you’ll come, and there the throne that's key and keyed.
>The iron men of visage grim do more than meets the viewers eye.
>You’ve left and left and found my Tomb and now your soul will die.”

This poem primes players to take risks around the color black with the phrase "night's good color is for those of great valor." This end up resulting in some players being brave by jumping into the black void one after another as they focus on one part of the poem while ignoring the "Shun green if you can" line.

In fantasy people find it easier to get if you keep things anthropomorphic for the most part. But in scifi they actually appreciate when you have alien races that aren't human shaped, even if they're still familiarly animal shaped.

I had an alien I originally had set up to use in a space campaign that I was disappointed ended up being canceled too early for them to appear. They were more or less sphinx shaped aliens. Semi-quadrupedal with some cat-like features but uncanny flat human faces. I wanted something a bit uncanny and ethereal feeling for a supposedly ancient race core to the campaign's main plot. But for scheduling issues that game only ever had a session zero.

Do things that even furries would get caught off guard by. That's my thinking.

I guess it's time to CTRL+R and replace Hong Kong with Shanghai. Although I really wanted to use Kowloon and go crazy with netrunner mysticism (especially since the final boss would be an OP combat netrunner doing stuff like controlling 5 turrets every turn for the legendary RoF 5).

Murdered: Soul Suspect and the capcom game sort of already explored the unsolved murder from the POV of a ghost, but it could be interesting still to focus more on that. The problem though is it sort of ignores the big conspiracy and hidden societies approach that WoD has for all of its games.

>>97378691
There's still plenty of room for big conspiracies and hidden societies, in a ghost game with a focus on being bound to the mortal world after death and unable to move on.

Depending on the timeline, stay away from Europe and especially London.

Night floors is a series of "ooooh, so spooky" cut scenes. It's closet drama, it's great to read and think about how great it would be to run, but it's actually fucking dogshit, which describes 95 percent of Detwiler's output.

>>97377801
It hands you a ton of tools for improvising shit to happen, weird things to investigate. If you can't use the LEGO you've been given to craft scenes from the resources that's your own fault.
I find the best way to do it is to ask if it's a 'mood' scene, or a way for the players to find out more. And then writing ideas from there.
But if you hate it so much what's your ideal KiY story, anon?

>>97379160
>It hands you a ton of tools for improvising shit to happen
It clearly doesn't because turning it into something required a 200~ page campaign book. (Which still lacked an ending)

>>97379797
It has an ending
The purpose of the play is to create itself.

>>97379160
It's not marketed as a series of Legos to build my own scenario, and if it was, it would be fucking bad at that. It's marketed as a good king in yellow scenario, but what it actually is is a series of scenes where the keeper describes something creepy happening, and then you leave that room and go to another room where the keeper describes something creepy happening, ad infinitum. Detwiler is a great writer, I enjoy his DG fiction, but his scenarios are all the same shit, either a collection of cut scenes or a bunch of information that the PCs will have no way to find out or interact with, usually with a single, hyper specific thing they need to accomplish to get any kind of resolution. He does everything that every single person with half a brain will tell you is terrible gming, but people lap it up because he's been grandfathered in as a """""great scenario designer""""" because he worked on the original DG.

I'm planning on running a post-ROTJ EoE/AoR game where players work for the ISB in a post-Emperor Empire.

Here's my crawl:
"EMPEROR PALPATINE is dead!

The DISASTER AT ENDOR has claimed the life of the autocratic center of stability in the Galaxy. In the ensuing battle the REBEL ALLIANCE was decimated by the remaining Imperial Fleet.
Rebel leaders LUKE SKYWALKER, LEIA ORGANA, MON MOTHMA, and HAN SOLO are presumed dead or in hiding.
The GALACTIC EMPIRE is reeling, fragmenting into warring REMNANT SECTORS: WARLORDS vying for control of portions of the galaxy; some of whom with interest in claiming the vacant IMPERIAL THRONE
As the powerful consolidate their positions, IMPERIAL FORCES which once policed the mid and outer rims have been drawn back to core worlds. Local despots, criminal syndicates, and pirates have filled the vacuum left by WARLORD forces as they form REMNANT STRONGOLDS.
In this vacuum a number of the IMPERIAL HIGH COUNCIL have formed a regency, relying on influence through control of the vast network established by the IMPERIAL SECURITY BUREAU. "

Here's the initial brief:
"ISB Brief DZ-1427

Holobrief featuring ISB Major Lagret -

Let’s get right to it gentlemen. While the Navy tries to douse fires erupting in every sector, you will be using the confusion to your advantage. You’ve been selected from among your peers for an aptitude to piece information together, recruit field assets, and maintain a sufficiently low profile. You will form the Clandestine Operations Group or COG of the ISB and COMPNOR as a whole. You will have whatever resources you need at your disposal. You will report directly to me and report directly to the Emperor. Henceforth you’ll correspond with me as codename “Gray”. You are subordinate to the ISB only. Anyone else including all sector Moffs or Warlords may be considered compromised. If the true nature of your purpose is detected, we will have no choice but to terminate the program and your efforts will be for naught.

The rebellion, however organized, remains active and has become entirely covert. We will subvert their tactics and use them against them.

I will be honest with you, troopers. The destabilization of the Galaxy by this most recent attempt on the Emperor’s life as well as the destruction of the Death Star has left the Empire stretched thin. Further instability could threaten to reverse the decades of progress that we have made in providing peace and safety to the trillions of lives who are our citizens. The new strategy of the Empire will be to refocus efforts away from direct action and, instead, increase the indirect response to the growing hostility by those who would seek to usurp power for themselves.

You are part of that indirect option. You are the tip of the spear. "

Goal will be a number of covert/clandestine operations as well as opportunities to go hot when indicated.

PICREL is the first brief I came up with (I have more details if you guys think this is interesting).

I have a few other scenarios planned including:
>Starting a drug war between rival Hutt and Zann syndicate to destabilize a mid-rim sector. Goal is to install a controlled opposition.
>Security breach is resulting in ISB agents in the field being burned, suggesting a mole. Some security transmission have been followed by rapid starfighter strikes to the ISB locations. Lines of communications to and from the Empire are now compromised
>Infiltrate a rebel cell and determine a location of a meeting held by various ex-senator rebel planetary leaders before it happens. Goal is then to decide the approach on killing or apprehending the senators once they are gathered
>A prequel mission where you are called by the Devastator (pre BoY) to some backwater planet callet Tatooine. You're instructed to disguise yourselves as stormtroopers and track down a pair of missing droids (mission critical). Leads will eventually take you to a farmhouse with an old couple.
> False flag attack on imperial remnants/competing warlords
>You are sent to observe and advise a corporate sector authority to arrest an old CIS war criminal. Twist: the advisors the party is attached to are complete fuck-ups.
>Party is sent very deep to infiltrate an imperial high security prison (perhaps Kessel?) to "rescue" a COG/ISB agent so they can connect him with a Rebel arms dealer. Twist: the imprisonment of the ISB agent is a plant and the "rescue" is to establish credibility with the COG to plant them with the arms dealer's crew

>Quiet Election: DZ-1539- Planetary senator on Ketaris is set to formally orient with an independence movement. Intelligence shows that overt action is likely to cause planetary resources to divert and open rebellion. This system needs to remain intact. You have three standard days to prevent the announcement by any means necessary without creating a martyr.
> Last LIGHT (DZ-16045)- A joint naval-ISB counter-terrorism unit conducted an annual simulated operation in the Nar Shaddaa sector. During said exercise, simulated actors initiated a real attack on the operatives- killing or capturing many of them. Fleet and Army assets cannot be mobilized to avoid this becoming public, raise the attention of the local Hutts, and draw precious assets away from Core Rim operations. You are the closest operational team and must identify the attackers, minimize civilian fallout, and ensure no record survives of the original operation. This includes those purview to the original operation.
>Operation Dark Mirror (DZ-1855)- Mid-level imperial officials of the Abrion Sector have been exhibiting some concerning patterns including selective mercy, over compliance with local authorities, and delay in enforcement of imperial edict. Your job is to perform an audit, perform loyalty tests, and identify if these officials remain compliant with the cause without causing them to defect.
