>>97225416Never read it but this one too. There was a rulelite in 10mm with grimdark cubeheades and Napoleonic a e s t h e t i c but I don't know if it got past beta. Mechanically its not hard to think of ways to have it work, I think its that its boring to most people interested in fantasy.
>>97212059Fantastic idea, shitty execution
>>97225416Wars of Ozz is Napoleonic and has witches and wizards. They mostly made the magic utility focused though. When I get home I'll find some examples. It's super boomer coded and there's only a physical book with Facebook eratta, no PDF.
>>97227151Actually, they released updated charts that include all the spells. iirc, named characters get a specific spell list, generic mercenary witches and wizards roll for one or two spells each.

I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97221483Deviant is CofD sadly...
>>97221143Does it have any alternative to the whole touchstone system? Because to me it feels a bit limiting that the only possible motivations you're allowed to have in the game is hating some specific guy, and "protecting your friends".
>>97218942>What would you anons say the appeal of Beast isAntagonists. Beast as written is going to appeal to very few people as players, but as enemies, they're superb.
>>97223856Yes, Black Vans specifically offers alternatives to Conviction and Loyalty.• One example replaces them with mortal humans' conventional Virtue, Vice, and Aspirations.• The Deviant-ified rules for Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves obviously do not have Conviction and Loyalty to begin with.• The cyberpunk genre and its rules replace them with juggling a network of patrons and sponsors.• The high fantasy genre and its rules replace them with heroic codes of morals and ethics (every PC has one, even unconsciously) and the drama that ensues from trying to live up to them.• The superhero genre and its rules expand conventional Conviction and Loyalty Touchstones into much broader scopes, though this takes some Merit investment.
>>97223439CofD is so setting agnostic that you can just rewrite everything to fit WoD with sufficient autism.

>>97226244Linghao is relatively good at survival, or at least he's good at some parts of survival. He can hunt down beasts, and survive temperature shifts. Eating beasts could trigger unwanted evolutions tho, so he prefers bringing food from home in his storage treasure to have a safe alteranative instead in case he finds nothing beneficial. He likes exploring, be it nature or otherwise, so he at least is used to it even if not as good as someone that lives like that. I just realized his insight would make him surprisingly good at survival, because having instinctual knowledge of evolution means knowing what defense mechanisms creatures evolved, like poison and such. Insights are supposed to grow, so he's not perfect at it yet, and he would rather not risk it for now, so he doesn't use it unless he really wants something for cultivation purposes.
>>97221773Added Yu and Tsol to the chart. Doing this piece by piece>>97218224I'm excited to see where Haoran's relationship with her father develops. I think Haoran is in a prime position to develop a heart demon of sorts. She has a pretty nasty inferiority complex and bouts of paranoia that i think could worsen depending on how the expedition in the ghost lands go. Maybe some evil fucking wizard shenanigans? She already has some pretty scathing critiques of the Xun clan and the greater cultivation world. I would like for her to come out of these trials better for it, but i guess we'll see where it goes. I also think her cultivation could have some interesting applications if she is able to gain some more Natural Insight. >>97226244Haoran hasn't gotten out that much in regards to the untamed wilderness shes much more of a pavilion princess. Any of her survival knowledge is untested and theoretical.

>>97221769>>97220083>>97165495I've come to realize the follow of thinking in terms of the single element. Especially for myself where I am going for a more sci-fi/fantasy bent where the Humans have to utilize a more sciency approach to what little magic they can use which is all based around fire/heat since Humans have a natural affinity for.Magic powered jets to blast high pressure wind and debris, super heated jets of steam to broil enemies, laser guided lightning strikes, metallic bits launched with crushing force with magnetic force.
Why yes, my sci-fi setting does have horseback cavalry with laser rifles

>>97225211Thankfully, Specialists don't have blanket trading post access, and the Tek-Hunter gear list is somewhat more limited than the regular Van Saar specialist one, so you're not getting nine dudes with plasma guns off the bat, thankfully.
>>97226994They aren't Gangers that promoted to Specialists, their profile is just Specialist from the start. And that profile includes being able to get weapons from the TP with no restrictions on weapon class. So sure you won't have 8 Plasma Guns at gang creation, but you could give all of them whatever Special/Heavy weapons you can afford from the TP from the first visit. On top of that they also have the VS Tech skills as Secondary. All this for just 10 creds more than a standard VS Ganger. Their roster entry is ridiculous.
>>97222879Yes I find them very charming as well, the lotr movies got me into the hobby to begin with so they will always be special to me.

Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
As always thank you for your work in these trying times Net0. I hope your whale hunting has been going well? I'm going to try to see if I can finish my book nearish to the end of the week in time for my initiation. Should be nice to be in Europe again, though Normandy isn't fully my favorite. Hopefully, I can get some insight to impress upon the lads with my book. Though, I'm surprised there's no thread question but then again I assume there's probably not much need given we're going a bit slow. Thanks regardless.

Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to cast When did fantasy magic and wizards turn in Avatar the Last Airbender shooting fire and lightning out their assholes?

>>97223997Okay fine, pedantic Anon, if the scene with Theoden wasn't flashy then how about before then when he reappears to Aragorn & co in Fangorn, first revealing himself as a near blinding source of light? Is that flashy enough? I'm not sure because fighting a huge demon monster isn't enough for you.
>>97226413Again it was a big light. Turning Aragons sword red hot was more magical imo. The flashiest thing the wizards do in the movies is Sauruman casting fireball but that got cut. My favorite thing Gandalf does in the entire series is throwing a bomb at the goblins in the Hobbit

>>97217381>spiritualanon... more like physical
>>97179249Do we really need anything more than that? Most people are going to use either the Gold Box, From the Ashes, or The Adventure Begins Gazeteers for Greyhawk anyway, completely throwing out the 5.5e blurb.Greyhawk isn't like other settings. It's canon outside of official sources like the gazetteers, modules, or novels is meant to be purely homebrewed. If you want any further canon, check places like canonfire as other Anons said, the lore is mainly community made.Or you could just make shit up as you go along at your table.It's meant to be a worldbuilding framework. Worldbuilding on training wheels if you will, Gary didn't even want to publish it as a setting, he wanted people to make up their own. Which is kind of what every GM that plays in Greyhawk does.I had a friend ask me today if Greyhawk was a grimdark setting. Now, at my table it's not, I prefer the nobledark approach, but there's no doubt someone who plays a grimdark Greyhawk in the From The Ashes era.
