Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>97665641Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: pastee.dev/p/sp2Mdb5Ihttps://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator/wbi/: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TWorldbuilding Hub: https://discord.com/invite/wGjxK3YThe Writer's Forge: https://discord.com/invite/CUxHxWqTira: https://discord.com/invite/f52W6KgDawn of Victory: https://discord.gg/hUAynC3wConlangerama: https://discord.com/invite/ceKjZBr2jCComment too long.

>>97815762The Fence is the only person who can turn a "liability" (stolen goods) into an "asset" (spendable cash). They take the highest risk by holding the physical evidence, which is why they usually take 70–80% of the profit.BONUS:The Tax Man (The Protection Racket). Even the underworld has taxes. If you operate in a certain district, you pay the local "Power Node" for the privilege of not being robbed by other criminals. This "Internal Tax" is what funds the "Social Services" (the healers and the bribes for the bureaucrats)
>>97814985To better explain what I'm trying to go for. I wanted to create a series of spell like abilities that represent the schools of magic that can later be upgraded and modified by things like the subclass you choose or other class features I haven't figure out yet.Stealing from Warlock, a basic blasting spell like Eldritch blast would become the basic representation for the evocation school, generating a shield would be abjuration, arcane senses for divination, a version of presdigation/minor illusion for illusion, etc
>>97813659>>97813683It started as the northernmost Greek colony on the Italian mainland, and the Greeks didn't care about large navigable rivers near their settlements, they generally just wanted a sheltered port on the coast, some farmland and a few springs nearby, and would let the landlubbers do any of the possible overland trading. Shipping by sea, for example grain from Crimea to Athens or Corinthian pottery from the Greek mainland to Etruria, was cheap over massive distances. The freshwater situation in Naples was so shitty the Greek colonists already in the 5th century BC constructed the 10 km long Bolla Aqueduct, partially running underground, to supply the city from a marshy aquifer area on the foothills of Mt Vesuvius. Sebeto was the only river of any importance flowing nearby.
Think I finally nailed my units of lengthBase unit is a foot. There are 5 feet in a standardized pace. 3 in a step. Used in the same context of yard. So something is such and such paces away. Or two paces long. etc. The hole is 3 steps deep. The stone slid 4 steps to the left. etc. Strides are 4000 feet. Based on the average distance someone can walk in the wilds in one hour. So its not uncommon phasing to describe directions as being a hours stride north west, or 2 and a half hours stride east. It is around the middle distance between a mile and a kilometer and used in the setting's context in a similar way. So a person used to miles can think of strides as similar to miles in their head. While someone used to kilometers will think of strides similar to kilometers. Anything smaller I use comparisons or fractions rather than smaller standardized units. I doubt I will meaningfully need larger units so those too can be handled with comparisons to get scale across.
>>97784855Quick question - is there any fantasy or urban fantasy equivalent to the Space Marines? They're made by implanting various extra organs with some genetic modification from the geneseed. I can't think of anything else quite like that in other settings.

>>97818307It ain't about high literature, it's about you being so inexperienced a reader that you fail to even recognize the multiple pronunciations beyond the most airheadedly obvious one a 12-year-old would go for. Rowboot Gullyman hours.
>>97818158>>97818295so one faction is conversionbait for 40k chaosone faction is conversionbait for tow cathayone faction is conversionbait for tow bretonniaand one faction is conversionbait for tow kislevso why the fuck is there a nipponese faction?
>>97818344We want the weeb audience
>>97818337>beyond the most airheadedly obvious oneIt's the obvious one because it's the right one, the rest are either pointless pseudointellectual mispronunciations or straight up miss the point of the name.
>>97818357Why they don't have any money
Prostitution is the oldest profession. It has always existed and it will always exist. The presence of prostitutes and brothels is crucial for making a game setting and world feel realistic and lived in. Otherwise, it will lack all verisimilitude. So, tell us, how have you incorporated prostitution into your game?
>>97811889This looks like SHIT
>>97811889
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.That had often more to do with laying claim on the wealth left behind by the late husband than concern about the woman's future.
>>97818352>FUCKING WIDOWS would get remarried instead of turning to prostitution.Well yeah, I imagine most women back in ye olde tymes didn't want a bunch of foreign, unwashed, and potentially diseased [ugly bastard] dicks in them.It isn't like today where the promise of STD treatments and abortions make women feel better about spreading for money, but the smart ones have figured out they only have to do that with a couple guys, have the babies, then extort alimony forever while also getting paid on Twitch and OnlyFans.
>>97818387Syphilis was not a thing until age of sail.Aids was not a thing until 20th century.Contraceptives know at the time were allegedly pretty reliable (most notably Silphium plant).For large part of history whore's only risk was not getting paid.
Have you heard the Primordial Truth?
>>97807967I HAVEN'T "HEARD" A DAMNED THING IN A GOOD 10,000 YEARS, BOOK BOY!
>>97813506It's because they're the masters of brainwashing and work on a long scale. They are the carrot while the rest of the Imperium is the stick. They seed missionaries and orders of sisters who act as spies to slowly crumble the host culture generations before Imperial forces show up. All to make the host culture naturally more subservient to their new masters. And if they don't, they can be wiped out and replaced by pilgrims.
>>97813694That's how you can tell it's real and not just cope to comfort the grieving and the dying.
>>97817686The Imperium is De-Jure any place where humans exist. During the Great Crusade, before the emergence of the Imperial Creed the Emperor essentially reconquered all (or the vast majority of) the worlds colonied by humanity in remote antiquity. When the Emperor died, large swathes of this territory were abandoned, but the people there sitll remembered the Emperor. This is why in Eisenhorn they find themselves on a completely uncharted world in the middle of nowhere and the people there still worship the Emperor, albeit in a dimly remembered way.The Ecclesiarchy is not a tool of control per-se, because half of the rebellions are led by local Cardinals or priests. Rather, it deliberately acts as a cultural lubricant to allow what ought to be millions of discrete nations to coexist under the same banner, and also as a source of common ground between conflicting factions as common to them as their shared humanity.The Merchants being robbed and the Pirates robbing them are both worshippers of the Emperor, and nobody in that scenario would see anyything strange about that.wtf is up with this new capcha
>>97807971This but unironically. Order is slavery, Chaos is freedom.
You know what'd be a great April Fools' joke, if this board wasn't absolute dogshit for a day.
>man, it would be nice if this board wasn't shit>posts shimmy art
>>97818367Unfortunately, even that is too much to ask.So what are story mechs like in your worldbuilding setting? Could you elaborate on that while posting a photobash commissioned by a dirty shitskin?

>>97818057No.
>>97818057No, I don't think I will enforce these rules.
>>97818057All this reads as is "please post AI art in the thread". I'm onto your tricks.
>>97818057Based and correct.
>>97818057Funny that 3rd edition had some anti-ai stances, and these days Wotc is looking to use ai wherever they can. The developers of 3e would be so upset now.
Jolly good time>Cyberpunk 2020 vs. Cyberpunk RED?Cyberpunk 2020 is the second edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG by R.

It focuses on simulationist gameplay and lethal near-future combat.Cyberpunk RED is the latest edition of the Cyberpunk TTRPG, set after the devastating Fourth Corporate War. It focuses on more balanced, streamlined gameplay and is currently supported by R.

>>97818141I actually had an idea for a cyberpunk theme park campaign inspired by Westworld and Jurassic park. Where at some point rogue blackwall AI get into the animatronics and start killing guests. Including the dinosaur ones.
>>97818167I thought Biotechnica can only bring back small extinct animals like rabbits and birds. Anything bigger like a bear or a dinosaur is probably beyond their current ability.
>>97818298The pet dlc shows they can bring back bears and bigger creatures just fine
>>97818298>>97818308One of the adventures has a corpo with a pet lion or tiger that has a few neurons twisted in its brain to be a guard animal. I forgot if it was in 2020 or RED but Biotechnica has the capacity to do so if they can do all that. Especially that 2020 pet list that has underwater creatures too.

What kind of countryside shops are in your settings worldbuilding? Does your character ever go shopping in locations such as these?
>>97770865have you tried other threads? this isn't the only one on the board you know
>>97815548the players were told to look for a rare artifact for a world renowned artistthey were told little about it, other than it was a hand crafted artists toolit turned out to be a yellow painted wooden stick with a tiny bit of black lead inside that could make lines finer than charcoal and a strange gummy material on the other side that could remove lines more easily than stale breadit took about 20 seconds before the players realized what was being described and they all had a good chuckle
>>97815583What game?
>>97815570But it's the best one.
>>97815496Big, small, red, green, used in different meals.

why don't they just shave the weasels so they can regrow the hair like they do with sheep wool?
>>97818281One of the reasons they're so good is because of the soul of the weasel. Think of them as enchanted items.
>>97818281You try giving a weasel a haircut.
So, you know guys, treat your brushes well. Somebody literally gave up their life for them.

>>97818127>TCaCDominus Emperor>[Normal Trap Card]You can activate this card the turn that it is Set. Declare 1 Attribute; Special Summon this card as an Effect Monster (Fiend/Level 8/ATK 3000/DEF 0)(this card is NOT treated as a Trap), and if you do, this card's Attribute becomes that declared Attribute. You can banish 1 monster from your GY, face-down, whose Level is less than or equal to 8; this monster's name and Level becomes that monster's original name and Level, and replace this effect with that monster's original effects, also for the rest of this Duel, you cannot activate the effects of monsters with that same name, unless their original name is "Dominus Emperor". You can only use each effect of "Dominus Emperor" once per turn.I can't make a full archetype around it, so I just made one boss monster for it instead. The basic idea is that it plays around the Dominus series' Attribute locks (you can just declare DIVINE if you don't want to use one that isn't covered) and also lets you use SOME monsters' effects while potentially under every Dominus lock by means of effect duping. I know that effect duping is dangerous, but on top of Konami generally not giving a shit about how broken their own cards are, I feel like I gave it a pretty sufficient level of restrictions (no Xyz/Links, no high-level monsters, the level is also duped which slightly reduces FTK potential, that card is fully unable to be used unless Dominus Emperor is using it).

>>97817661Retard here,Generally when you copy a spell there is text that says you may choose new targets for the copy. Sometimes that is in rules text (eg: Reverberate) and other times it is in reminder text for the ability or mechanic allowing you to create copies (eg: Grapeshot or Bitter Ordeal). Is choosing new targets for a copy of a spell inherent in the act of copying or does there need to be rules text saying as much? Are there any instances of a card letting you copy a spell WITHOUT selecting new targets?
