To be fair cloning Christ and then harvesting his blood and maybe organs is kind of fucked up, though the lore implies it was under the sponsorship of God himself and otherwise Humanity would have died a long time ago. The setting itself is fucked up, but the guys with crosses objectively are trying to just survive and aren't cruel for the sake of being cruel.

Has your character ever been in love?
26 replies and 1 image omitted. Click here to view.
>>
>>97263412
My character brings his comatose girlfriend with him in a low key gypsy wagon. While he's away he keeps her locked up but during downtime I make sure to take her outside so she gets sunlight and fresh air, I massage her muscles to make sure she doesn't atrophy, and I basically do a lot of elderly care for her, and at night I have sex with her limp body because that's what she would've wanted me to do. For some reason the players all are creeped out by this and one even called me a rapist. I am actually questing to revive her from her coma and the woman I imagined her as would approve of being used as an onahole but for some reason I'm the black sheep in the group.
>>
>>97272654
He has no idea this has happened. To his character and him, she was just some fling, though my character did convince her not to tell him about it. He made up a story about how the bard was doing this as a huge favor and even went so far as to drink a potion of forgetfulness to not remember the event, due to being very shy and secretive about the "relationship" his character had with mine. He also told her that if she revealed to the bard that this event happened, he would likely kill her out of paranoia of someone knowing of his "secret", and for her own safety, she should keep it to herself.
>>
>>97263412
Come to think of it, none of my player characters have ever had love interests. I can't even think of characters I made with it as an element in their backstory, let alone one that happened in a game. They're all as lonely as me.

Outside of videogames where always end up picking ones that require a Greater Good sacrifice and end up sacrificing love for it, not that much. Maybe I'm attracted to tragic romanced, because I find run of the mill romance a bit boring.

Do you REALLY think modern science and all of its mathematical diagrams and symbols and other infrastructural configurations *wouldn’t* look more radically esoteric or alien or “magical” to persons in antiquity, compared to anything else they could have artistically or imaginatively cooked up themselves? Lol. A cellphone would be more arcane than anything else around to them.

Bolgar lore keepers are old wise men that are often called the Volk. They know many things about the world, both this one and the next, and can contact the spirits or even enlist their aid. Every oblast has one for the nobles are wary of the dark forests that surrounded their stone keeps and the terrible monsters that lurk within. The Green Men, Strigoi, Bog Maidens, Anglars, and others cross the veil to terrorize humanity for its soul is said to be the tastiest in the next world.

Only the lore keepers know enough about pagan lore to appease these entities and to send them back from whence they came. Only they know these creatures' vulnerabilities. And their services cost more and more with every disappearance, straining the republic's coffers dry.

The Bandit Kingdoms: a patchwork of big outlaw gangs that infest the land once known as the Reach. What was a bunch of farms and hamlets is now a maze of bandits and rough cattle towns where only the toughest can eek out a decent life. Most people live in terror of their savage overlords and only a few warlords seem to rise above being raiders... And even then, it must be said that the changes they make rarely stick and their realms rarely last before the gangs turn on each other once more.

They're the South's rough equivalent to the Jackals. But unlike the Jackals, the Bandit Kings do maintain a semblance of order in a way. Rivals are ran off with most warlords preferring their operations to be running as smoothly as possible. The people of this land call themselves the Reachmen and have a lot of Bison iconography, in fact old folklore states the world rides on the back of a bull. The Church and the peasantry are none the wiser, and the bandits think that rats spawn from fallen trees.

There is a growing, yet harmless cult of people who claim that parts of the world make no sense or are only here as part of some higher being's trivial preference.

I have to admit I preferred the NWOD approach here. The image of vampires as predators of Jesus himself, their dark mirror, is more badass than "just" killing your brother because God had a very bad passive-aggressive way of communicating.

Ok. My point was that blatant Biblical themes work mainy in "our 19-21th century" type of urban fantasy. Even if you find theoretical justification to add elves and orcs, it would be organic only in the formula

I'm drawn to Cain because of several elements:

The Mark of Cain.
City of Enoch.
Destined to Wander the Land of Nod.Founded the Fist City.
Also, making Tiefling symmetrical to the Aasimar is compelling and gives a much needed myth gravity that normal Aasimar lack because they are less my grandpa had sex with an angel, I won the lottery, and more my grandpa were great heroes but also tyrants.

Everyone I know who watches Fatt Coville videos is a fucking terrible GM. I've never fully watched one and I am widely considered the best GM out of all 3 groups I'm part of. I am regularly requested to run campaigns. People borderline fall asleep in the games others run. There's also no tension because they know that these Coville acolytes will fudge rolls until all PCs survive the battle.

If you're a good GM, it's an inmate talent you can hone over time. You're born that way. If you aren't, then no amount of shitty advice is going to make up for your lack of talent. It just is what it is. This idea that everyone should "try" DMing is retarded. The idea that anyone can be good at it? lolno. Its like some fat divorced on who suddenly decides he's gonna become a famous author. Fat chance. Most people fucking suck at GMing. Hell, most of them suck at playing, but at least in that case the game depends less on them.

Did you try and get them to play something marginally different to 5e like ACKS or Pathfinder with 12 million rules for them to remember? Get them used to other systems buy running short campains with rules light systems like Mothership or Cairn.
>>
>>97270251
I don't even think rules light systems are always necessary; nine times out of ten, the people complaining about being unable to get their groups to try a new thing are doing a dogshit job of pitching the game. I will say it again: don't expect the players to buy in to learning a new game based on you telling them how cool it is; run a one shot with pre generated characters that introduces the basic rules and showcases how fun the game is.
>>
>>97270251
If you have to ease your group into playing other systems, there's already a problem. Alongside that, if you are fucking sick of generic D&D fantasy bullshit, playing more generic D&D fantasy bullshit isn't a solution to that grievance.
>>
>>97232331
I think session zeros should be a thing, formal or informal. Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different. Some GMs probably benefit from having 20 pages of notes for a session and planning for every possibility, my notes are a few stat blocks for likely enemies and some possible loot with me winging the rest. Some GMs might like reading 5 page backstories, I for one just want to know family, friends, origin, and goals of PCs. Some GMs like games built around the story where it's 90% roleplayong 10% mechanics, I for one love mechanics and combat.

>Either way GM/DM advice is useless because every GM, theor skills, style, and what they want is different.
There is still advice that is universal regardless of what your style is.

Can you describe your current level of understanding of traditional games slash card games?

If you've somehow wandered onto this board as a true No-Games then learning Sorcery is going to go over like a lead balloon. If you know what tactics games are like, then you imagine what if magic had board positioning and an ambulatory avatar, then you're pretty close to the idea of what the game plays like. You're building a physical realm with each site you draw from your resource deck, shaping the lands and tapping into the elements they wellspring; but always remember that positioning and timing is everything when you're contesting territory. If that's not your cup of tea I don't blame you, maybe try something a little more abstract?
