So I tend to run high-powered games with lots of homebrew and shenanigans going on in PF1e/D&D3.5e/d20 systems/etc. and I've used plenty of optional rulesets and such and tend to allow copious (some would even say insane) amounts of 3pp and alt content as long as I have a chance to review it first and it seems like it'd fit. Among other things I have used the Mythic rules for some of my games and overall I do find some of the content rather overboard even for my games. I have also granted players customized extras (that occasionally scale) before, once I called them "atavisms".I am trying to design an "add-on" system that's a bit more regular for my games instead of the random campaign specific stuff I've done for people. I'm just not entirely sure what to call this though and I was hoping you lot might have some interesting suggestions (barring making up my own word ofc).Thus far some name ideas include> atavisms> blessings> boons> awakenings (there is a 3pp system for these)> gifts> modifications/mods> templates> splats (WoD reference)> sides (eating lol)Comment too long.

I've been considering some terms related to "fate" as well for this concept, haven't really settled on anything yet though. Nothing seems to feel right.
Gimmick.
boon. idk what's wrong with that

>>97407163I mean... it's not actually a terrible option lol>>97407337I simply don't like it, and it's also used for a few PF1e mechanics already.>>97407402Not entirely sure how that would fit, that has to do with someone making a conscious promise or oath or something doesn't it? Unless there's another meaning I'm unaware of.

>>97413047I tried, he didn't want any deals. He just wanted to "apply pressure," what pressure is being applied to the game by attacking the weakest player? I don't know.
>>97412978You are right. I got too stuck with how thematic they were, besides imagining explosive turn with Tekuthal (4 mana for 4 proliferates with engine).Still not convinced on the tutors. Even mystical tutor I could see, but why not enlightened tutor when I am so artifact heavy? What about some of my charge centric artifacts with potent effects? How many of those do I need for coretapper to be worth it? Although at the very least it could feed my counter based mana rocks. Also, wuicksilver dagger helps me with draw and landing player damage with infect creatures. Should I cut more of the toxic creatures (since infect > toxic)? I have a couple of support creatures which I think help a lot, such as unctus and emry, I fear having too low a density of poison sources (and I do know I just need to see and then proliferate away). Finally, what do you think of the deck's name?Kilo's Dastardly Toxic Tap Dance

>>97413111>What's the name of that monastery that looks like an island at high tide? Maybe it's like that, but with a bridge to the mainland high enough for boats to go under.Mont-Saint-Michel. Funnily enough I used that design and Tedis for a pulpy NS.11 Airship-themed one-shot I did where the players had to go from one to the other. I think I'm a bit of a sucker for coastal forts.

Haven’t played since 3.5. My friends are going to be playing the 2024 books. I used to pull dumb shit like a luchador who was only good at grappling or a diplomancer who was only good at diplomacy and making friends with every bad guy we met. Broken shit, but still silly and flavorful. What should I look for when reading over 5.5? The only idea I have right now is a drunken fist fighting sailor who’s really racist. Like +5 perception, knows you’re a hill ogre from the western hills of Thrograll kinda racist. Which sounds fun, but not broken. Is that even possible these days?
>>97412823all of that sounds cringe af
>>97412933Yeah, they’re all ideas from 2008, bud. Of course they’re cringe. Any real advice?
>>97412949>Any real advice?Start with personality. This should be the most important thing about any character. Then imagine how they would affect/interact with the world as someone capable of being an adventurer. Then translate into mechanical concepts. Then feedback loop and iterate how those mechanical concepts affect personality and interaction.>Personalityan awkward autist who's friendly but shy, good but cowardly>Interacts with the worldlikes to study weird things, read books, dissect dead animals, rather talk to things than people>Mechanicswizard necromancer>Feedback looptalks to his created undead, cluelessly creepy, wants to use necromancy for good but is shunned by people he protects, tragic thankless hero

>>97409027Mall that got shut down in Cleveland, if I'm not mistaken. However, an IRS office would make an incredible dungeon. It's even full of ontologically evil inhuman monsters for your party to slay without remorse.
>>97404832go on a cave tour in hannibal missouri. Where Mark Twain is from. Those caves have a history of: ghosts, outlaw hideouts, a fantasy palace, stolen bodies, treasure... and the corpse of a young girl perfectly preserved in an alcohol solution in a capsule of brass and glass chained to the cave walls by her mad doctor father Dr. Joseph Nash McDowell, who was responsible for those stolen bodies and probably also the ghosts.It's the closest to a dungeon I've been to.

Do these kinds of warning really deter their target audience?
>>97408453>put a disclaimer with a few buzzwords that are known for making terminally online retards furious>the retards find it and start sperging about it on their forums>discussion about the game increases, game is advertised to potential new players for free>meanwhile the filter keeps the terminally online retards at a safe distance from the actual playerbaseCorporate (-i assume) virtue signaling sucks but these filters are hilariously effective. I think more TTRPG books should include a filter disclaimer just to toughen people up a bit, even if the rest of the book has no political messaging.
