Is it a good advice for game masters who want to run campaign in the "exotic" place instead of generic "coast of swords" clone?
>>97288581Lemme rephrase again."I, a disabled advocate for disabled and neurodivergent children, don't want a lecture from an able-bodied, mentally sound, unmarginalized person on subjects they don't have experience with. They aren't amplifying like a good ally, they're talking over and interrupting."
>>97288680cry harder lol
My 3 inspo touchstones for writing exotic settings are.>Morrowind >Kim by Rudyard Kipling >Dream Quest of Unknown Kadath Those are really the 3 vectors for exotic:>Being trust into a religious/political system you don't understand or strange religion generally.Morrowind, Dune, wiki crawling about Shia sects, Tariq Ali's writings on Taliban theology, wacky theosophical works God's Chinese Son etc.>British explorers exploring strange lands Kim, Man Who Would Be King, The Great Game (basically THE history book about 19th c British explorer-spies.

Does anyone already have the Mythic Denizens supplement for Mythic Bastionland?
>>97279751I am also interested in Eventide but I am wary because I hardly see anyone talk about it and those that do seem like shills

>>97288774>>97288823Also Eldritch Mind to save on needing Warcaster if you don't need either of the Pacts
>>97288819You don't need a sublass to get a pet.
>>97288832I'd think taking either of the Pacts is probably better over Eldritch Mind unless you're taking more than 1 level in Warlock ultimately, but yeah it's a close third, the other two just do so much for gish and spellcaster builds
>>97288822Sad.
>>97288854You do for it to have functional mechanics in battle.
Let's say your party plays as human colonists on another world. Everything outside your settlement is hostile and wants to kill you, including the indigenous population of humanoid aliens. But there's also potential to win great wealth by discovering new resources to be exploited. What would you do in such a setting? What system would you use to run such a game?
sex with the native alien women
>you live in a walled city>surrounded by untamed countryside teeming with hostile alien life>and you can delve into the unknown to gain wealththat's already the setup for every single fantasy RPG, dumbassin fact it's practically begging for a stereotypical introductory encounter where the party fights a group of bowmen in the woods
>>97288862How would you stat the navi?
>>972888803d6 hit dice and a high attack bonus, double encounter rolls while in the jungle
>>97287490>chain of command oriented ... the players are directing their own fates.I wonder if some sort of hack of one of the old Star Trek systems would work here? You're ostensibly part of a wider organisation but are largely left to do your own thing, after all.

Redneck EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: Which artists do you think drew the best elves?
>>97288204Although I agree with your intent in that anyone that wants Deed removed is a FAGGOT, this thread is not specifically about RPGs at the exclusion of wargames. Sorry about your autism.
>>97288308I was using the logic behind the original poster. If someone removes Deedlit then the image is dogshit.
>>97288476i'm gonna level with you. i don't know who the space elf is. i just assumed she's a character from the wargame.>>97288308your cocklust is insatiable, but i'm not the man for you.
>>97285573Don't really get images like this since it seems to be comparing apples to durian fruit. One is a shit-smeared Chaos barbarian from the look of it and the other is a Bretonnian damsel (going off all the fleur-de-lys sigils). Wouldn't a more apt starting point be whatever the fuck elves are called in AoS or the normal humans?
>>97281442No more brother wars.
Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?
>>97288951I am not contributing to your Youtube content you shitty nigger fuck
>>97288951It kind of depends on the type of fetish, but there are ways. It definitely needs to be subtle, non-intrusive and make sense in the context of the world
>>97289048I mean, I expect that suspending your disbelief is mandatory if you live in a fantasy world where apprentice adventurers get spanked by their mentors, but I think you're right. Too much explaining will push too far.
>>97289039Why does it need to be your fetish to not be generic? Also go scour old Faerun & other old settings lore to see how to insert fetishes into a setting.
>>97289066Because I have no imagination. It's either something way too personal with my own likes shoved in it (like the elves living in ancient Greece) or it's Warhammer lite.
start with picrel, open in paint and make your additions!be sure to add your own lore, and by the end of the thread we'll have a fun world
You can buy weapons and gear and potions and stuff here. Nothing special really.
>>97277216best post
>>97277216lol
>>97281927I want you killed
If you told me a few years ago that I'd be primarily using fucking Army Painter warpaints I would've called you a retard. Genuinely what a gargantuan upgrade from the old crap, can't recommend it enough
>>97288231Do you really keep a duotang with dozens and dozens of recipes in it? Or are you perhaps nomodelriffing?Beyond the ridiculous spellbook, mixing everything forces you to use more paint per session which risks more waste overall. If I have the exact green I want in a premixed bottle I can dispense a single tiny droplet should I wish to. A mixer needs to use two or more drops every time.
>>97288318>duotang>nomodelriffing>spellbookI have an explanation but I feel like your post disproves itself.
>>97288141>>97288176>>97288179Thank you! Will let you know. I'm not bothered by it not being "miniature" paint. And yours a great suggestion to start searching.>>97288275Yeah. I've been looking for a replacement for about 3 years now and never found a satisfactory match I'm surprised it's not more common.Thank you for the specifics. I will now buy it just because of its name.Out of curiosity, would this also work in an airbrush if I decide to prime with it?Jfc this captcha is bullshit
>>97286824Not exactly true.You can use the same ratio of paint but if you also didn't have them mixed up exactly the same as before you will get a slight variant. It's nitpicking bullshit, I admit. Honestly, though, you can get a shitload of variety just having ten to 12 base colors, a couple of skin tones, and a couple of washes. Just lighten the tones up for variety and slap on more coats to darken shit if you want. The benefit from having just a retarded amount of paint like an AP complete set is you SHOULD be experimenting with shit to get really unique stuff. Most won't do this and want all their stuff to look like official artwork which is basic bitch tier stuff.
>>97277806You are a grumpy, bitter person, and I hope in 2026 you learn to be a bit nicer.

>>97288697Your hour of reckoning is coming
So is the digimon or tamer with the highest cost in the field at the moment or you choose between the digimon with the highest cost or the tamer with the highest cost?
>>97288889just the highest cost thing among digimon and tamers combined.if the highest is a digimon, its a digimon, if its a tamer, its a tamer, you don't pick.pretty much you pop their digimon and if you don't you pop their tamer.except if they have just a lvl 3 on board, such as if you dedigivolved it on the way up, then you can eat the tamer. if multiple things are tied you pick
Waist snatched
>>97288889After magnet, this is eh. Atleast it is a level 6 that can pop tamers and has an on play.
Why do "modern" and modern people go insane when they see some eldritch blorblo, but Conan could just kill it without going "aaaaaahhh save me niggerman!!!!!"
>>97281870Traditional games?
>>97285715Conan's butt. >:-)
>>97283370I really love Conan 2d20. It's sad no one seems to know it. I had a sorcerer barbarian dude with Dismember who would kill a guy & then take out another guy the next turn just by flexing
>>97284782What if you learned that there were giant spiders most people couldn't see roaming around? One day you looked in a mirror & suddenly saw giant spiders. Now you see them everywhere. A little old lady down the street is actually being puppeteered by a giant spider. She's not the o ly one either. There's a giant spider that sleeps above your bed in a web made from your dreams. You've seen it. Now you can't stop seeing them. Are you mad?
>>97284989>>97284649>>97284312Yes he killed himself. Sometimes the most troubled people bring the most laughter or speak most about having courage. Theyknow best the need for laughter & seek desperately for their own courage. His writing was optimistic. Conan can overcome any challenge, slay any beast or monster. But R.E. Howard isn't Conan, he was just a young author & he didn't have monsters to slay, only sorrows. It's a bitter soul to cackle at the misfortunes of a man who needed help & could not be saved.
Would love to share some YTers I like to use for inspiration. Looking for anyone you find helpful. Preferably smaller creators and not restricted to 5e. I’ll submit three that I really enjoy while I’m doing prepFirst I’ll submit is Desk and Dorks. The channel is made by a medieval historian and combines his knowledge of subjects to enhance games. I particularly like his take on Bronze Age fantasy and building better town guards
>>97225250>good>YouTubersPick one.
>>97272272This!
>>97252545Hey man thats still not CR levels

>>97225250You mean like Vox Machina?
What are some of your experiences with BRP or mythras? Favorite stories, characters, or supplements? I generally like running pulp or horror campaigns. Funniest story setup was how my players thwarted a small series of adventures I planned before it even started.>Players role up an old priest, a journalist, and basically fred from scooby doo. >Investigating a series of murders and disappearances. >Get captured thesmelves and wind up in a rundown factory converted to sort of look likea victorian mansion.>Meet an obvious vampire who uses them for basic company and conversation before planning to kill them.>My players escape, the frail priest manages to full nelson the vampire, and the other players manage to use a stake to kill him. It ended what I planned to be a multi session adventure in one night. It was a lot of lucky roles and ended up with being funny.
>>97268248I somehow wound up with a copy of Mythras Mythic Britain and honestly always sort of liked the idea of doing up some dirty Arthurian style stories. Not full grrm shit and iron but the sort of untamed wilderness and closeness to enchantment could be pretty damn fun.
>>97287712I would also reccomend pereceforest but that is far more fantastical and anachronistic But It doe’s typical arthurian myth really well >pic completely unrelated
Has anyone here tried the classic fantasy version of Mythras? I am looking at this system and wanted to know if that book would work better than just the basic one.
>>97288303It needs core mythrasHowever you are free to use as much of the book as you would like Such as if you want to use the old school d&d style classes and magic Cool wondrous magical items or just the good old classic monster manual monsters I just use classic fantasy for the monsters and it’s served me well
>>97274436>Finally I got a recc for character creationIf you want stronger closet to pulp swords and sorcery PC’s instead of fresh members of whatever culture they rolled out>Let your players characters pick two 100 skill point careers in that stage of character creationI think it is even more important to just give players double hit points in more pulpy and heroic games. At least Magic World straight up recommends both just not dividing PC HP at character creation all to effectively double it, and to divide sword fodder NPC HP by 4 in heroic games.
