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: >>97165346Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed) (embed)https://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/f52W6KgComment too long.

>>97406213There are multiple ways. One is to be an attention whore, if you foment a culture that encourages nobility to constantly praise you, they won't have time to plot against you. You can also consistently side with another social class that supports you and use them as a hammer against the nobility. You can have a secret police or spy force that it is loyal to you, and you alone. You can use parallel hierarchies, for example the church to reinforce your authority and by pass noble authority etc. In the end, it is a game of divide and conquer.
>>97406213A monarch who is broke is always beholden to someone. The most successful monarchs were those who secured independent revenue (like crown lands, colonial trade, or direct taxation) so they didn't have to ask the nobles for money every time they wanted to go to war.
>>97406238Can a monarchy do ALL of the above? To keep an Imperial Cult to legitimize their rule, maintain a secret police to hunt anyone who commits lese-majeste, and maintain a group of otherwise disenfranchised loyalists that owe their position to the King and can balance the noble houses? >>97406248In other words, a monopoly on the means of wealth. Land, minerals (like iron or salt), and maybe even commerce.Am I right?

If the greek gods actively commanded their cults, do you think they'd prefer to personally show up to receive the worship of their cults or just create a unified priesthood?Which option is more likely? I don't really understand what factors go into unified or decentralised religions.

>God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him. How shall we comfort ourselves, the murderers of all murderers? What was holiest and mightiest of all that the world has yet owned has bled to death under our knives: who will wipe this blood off us? What water is there for us to clean ourselves? What festivals of atonement, what sacred games shall we have to invent? Is not the greatness of this deed too great for us? Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it?

>gameplayFor Centaurs, you should be able to use them as mounts when not in combat if they're lightly armed & armored. I think you could ride into battle with them and fight on their back without overburdening them, depending on your loadout. Squeezing into dungeons and caves might be a bit of a bitch, and your centaur companion may find themselves too cumbersome to accompany you in certain locations. If people in wheelchairs can make do, I'm sure a transmog potion or a shrinking potion might solve the problem.>fantasy settingsThey're more at home here for sure, like having a horse. Some taverns may give you a hard "no" for your centaur companion, but I'm sure regions that are steeped in centaur culture or adjacent ones have accommodations for their unique anatomy. If nothing else, they could help carry your camp supplies and other provisions. >loadouts for fantasyIf you're not riding them, I think they can be pretty well armed and armored- think tower shield and a mace/flail. They also make good spearmen, so I think they'd be comfortable wielding a halbard and similar pike-style weapons. This would be with them wearing plate mail cuirass for the human portion and chainmail curtain over their horse hind quarters, or perhaps some specially fitted Gambeson. Other plate sections could be fitted to their horse body as needed. Archery and crossbows seem like they'd work for ranged options. I've not considered them using magic, but having a fairly mobile spellcaster seems cool as well.

>>97406194immunity in digimon doesn't prevent effects from being applied to youit makes you immune to your opponents effects for the duration of the immunity, the effects are still there, you just ignore themso if an effect lasts longer than your immunity, the effect will still be on you after your immunity endsif you gain immunity when an effect is on you, then the effect no longer does anything to you
We have all experienced the coming and going so GMs, Players and games; and then left holding the bag too start all over again at Square One.

Any advice? They're all new to playing D&D as well as well so I'm hoping to fake it til I make it.
>>97403276This is the true answer. Most people are happy enough to play that if you put in some effort to figure out what you're doing they'll probably be happy.
>>97398534>I've lied to my friend groupSee, you might not have DM experience, but you've already figured out the fundamentals.
>>97398534You really can fake it til you make it. >>97398560 is great advice. Most DMs suck because they didn't have their material ready in advance, and premade modules fix that real quick. LMoP is nice and simple, which is good because players complicate shit really fast. Just have the maps ready, the tokens in place, and all the monster sheets on hand, and you'll be better than a solid 90% of people who have ever DMed so long as you don't modify anything. Don't worry about it being too easy, as players love thinking they were good enough to make it easy and don't know anything about encounter design. Trust me, no one is going to question your experience when they're all too busy thinking about what the fuck their PC even is or what they can do. If anyone does actually question why something is the way it is, just say "that's what's in the book" and they will believe you 100% of the time.In short: Phandelver it up and just play everything straight. You got this OP.
So how long should a boss fight take exactly? The last test took 80 minutes but that could be shaved down by not needing to reference rules as muchIn this case every turn a d4 determines how many more skeletons get summoned unless they realize the orb in his hand is the source of that annoyance and get it away from him
>>97406276Fight time lengths are hard to predict, although more enemies, PC's having long lists of powers and players at the table all definitely compound time. How much time a player will take to talk/think/strategize on each new turn is a wildly variable thing own its own, especially for beginners. I would say a big fight like a boss fight takes the better part of an hour at minimum, and if you actually ONLY spent 40 minutes (from introducing, fighting and concluding that boss fight) that would be uncommon. Make sure you describe the Boss orb as glowing/sparking during the summoning as a hint! and if they don't catch on and start struggling, let them roll intelligence or something to put the pieces together.
Is there a reason we have so few games with a Gothic or Victorian inspired setting but a trillion rehashes of medieval fantasy, science-fiction or some eastern setting with katanas?
>>97406199Are cowboys Victorian?
>>97394046why would gothic be used as an insult? what, specifically, did they dislike?
>>97402587Would that I had his luck.
>>97406201No, but the victorian aesthetics existed in the United States at the same time as cowboys. It's hard for people to conceptualize, but the Victorian era spanned from 1837-1901. For instance, the beginning of the Oregon Trails times started in the 1840s and was heavily spurred on by the gold rush. The cowboy era was post civil war (1865) to 1880s/90s. A lot of victorian styles homes were built out West, but in the cities. People have a hard time conceptualizing that rural areas in the past were a lot different than they are now. It was harder to get to them and people still traveled slower. Much slower than today. Information as well. The settings and aesthetics are so different that it's hard to imagine them happening at the same time. Looking up inventions and first usages is interesting. The first car (motorized carriage) was 1885/1886.
