Is there any way I can incorporate my fetish in my fantasy world without it becoming a magical realm?

>>97288951not unless you're playing Maid RPG. and Maid RPG only manages to not be magical realm bullshit by implicitly requiring all players at the table to at least share the fetish.

Hello retard here, I got involved with someone whos pretty nice and they invited me to their session. I am pretty new to this stuff, and the other guy in it said I should ask him for some more details later to fine tune making a character. That being said though, I made a Yuan Ti pureblood who's a rogue that wields a bow scythe (like Simons Bowblade), the scythe is mostly cosmetic. Crappy design by me here. Uses a habit as a disguise, but was raised by a farming couple, so she's knowledgable with plant life. Plays a scarier face then she let's on but it's on purpose to be an asshole. Hence the scythe even if it's not a very optimal weapon, has a standard utility belt, has an archery chest guard underneath the habit, and she has cool fluffy sleeves since I thought they were nice. cool hat like lucatiel..Otherwise just regular trousers, and a button up blouse and engineer boots. outside of the disguise, she wears the garment as a capeAutistic rambling about the design, but I don't have any fucking clue what I am I doing, is this okay so far... aieeeeeeIs this an okay foundation, I just think snakes are cool.......
>>97352940-right after they get to the town, a runner arrives saying that some people who took the other road are in peril and need help.-they find something on the bandits that relates to one of the pcs backstories or is some other kind of hook to send the pcs off on an adventure-the smaller town is mysteriously abandoned when the pcs arrive there-random wilderness and combat encounter-on the road, during the pcs’ turn to keep watch at night, they catch an npc refugee from their group (probably not the blacksmith guy he seems like a leader type, but someone else) stealing supplies from the group and trying to run off in the nightthere’s some ideas off the top of my head
>>97353078>hello retard here>proceeds to not say anything retardedwtf anyway it looks good, the only suggestion I have is to give her a personality flaw, something the other players can sorta tease you about, gives them something to work with in dialogue.
>>97353078Kinda hard to tell when it's a non-standard race.The standard yuan-ti player option is mostly defense bonuses and bow rogues are fine.Just sounds a bit anime for me, but mechanically could be fine
>>97353078you make a character together with the dm, it's not homework you hand in
Goblins have existed in folklore for centuries in various forms, but where and when was it decided that Goblins are green? in 1st edition d&d, thwey're described as having various skin shades, green not being specified or standing out among the.a lot of people assume warhammer, but spiderman had a green goblin before warhammer, so what the fuck
>>97352057Good point. The Hobgoblin is not called the Yellow Hobgoblin, he's just Hobgoblin.
>>97351927Easy.Hopkinsville 1955.same as the origin for the term "little green men."Which is kind of hilarious, because they weren't even green, a newspaper journalist misheard grey.
>>97352220kek
>>97351927Probably thanks for their association with Orcs, who got turned green thanks for Burroughs influence.

>>97352873Thanks! Very cool looking trio as well, I quite like the metal/mud contrast. I usually also do something like this, but in this case specifically I ended up having to work with this dark elf plastic banner. It's a fun challenge if nothing else.
>>97352873Those remind me of the models I saw as a kid at a local convention. My grandpa bought them for me and that is when my fascination with Warhammer began. Nicely done, anon
>>97352890I'm a huge plastic banner hater! Regardless, your freehand looks good and will look amazing at tabletop height. I feel like freehand patterns and heraldry only had to be generally the right colors in the right areas for it to look good at tabletop height. Sorta like impressionism, from a distance you know exactly what it's supposed to be even if it doesn't look great when zoomed in with a camera
>>97348594Just setting bite-sized goals and going from there.My LGS hosted a TOW escalation league recently and I was able to sit down and get nearly 2000 points of Lizardmen painted during its run. The only model I didn't paint out of the 2000 point army was my 20 year old Stegadon. The rest were brand new (or newly cut off the sprue) models, including the new Saurus. Though they don't rank up very good.
So, I’ve decided for my Triumph and Treachery event I’m going to setup a snack table for my opponents to enjoy. I did this at the Bay Area Open a few years ago and it was a big hit.Since I’m bringing tomb kings, I want to bring foods that are on theme, aka Egyptian. I’m thinking figs and dates, with honey, sesame crackers, a simple spreadable cheese, bread, and nuts. Does anyone have any ideas on what tomb kings may have eaten that can go on my snack table? In b4 sand.

>four "chaos" gods>only one actually embodies the concept of chaoswhat did they mean by this?
>>97345916>>97346153Chaos was associated with the ocean because back then it meant the primordial abyss from which all life came from. Chaos being associated with disorder is a more recent invention.
>>97346911
>>97345793Spreading warfare, disease, and/or wanton lust would lead to a lot of chaos in a civilized society so yeah they do all embody chaos, moron
>>97345793What are some other divine spheres of influence that would for other Chaos-aligned gods? I always felt like Warhammer's Chaos gods could have had theirs chosen better.
>>97352992I don't know if it would work as a full chaos faction, but I kind of wish GW allowed Belakor to Ascend and become a full on chaos god of darkness. A god dedicated to darkness, silence, stealth and treachery would be a fun concept to play with.

>>97351443Give me one good post-industrial battle and we will see if I am able to make a simplistic reductionist sentence to describe it just like you did here
>>97351443>WW2 Fanfic for boomers
>>97351973I honestly doubt it is anything interesting to learn about, not even thinking about it in a wargaming context! Pre-gunpowder warfare is just lines walking into each other. Early gunpowder warfare is just lines walking close to each other, before occasionally walking into each other. The tactics and interesting decision making is at the very highest level. But we are miniature wargamers here, and any good representation of the interesting scales of pre-industrial war tend to abstract a ton. You have four 28mm figures standing on a base representing a Regiment, or something totally ridiculous like that. We may as well be playing hex and chit, except WW2 also makes for more interesting scenarios than hex and chit.The aesthetics are absolutely lovely and they make for good grand strategy games, but don't try to convince me into some retarded conflict that can only be represented by the silliest combination of scale and abstraction. The same also goes for any conflict after WW2.>Oh boy I love playing poorly armed and trained guerillas who occasionally pop out of hidey holes before being obliterated by a space age civilization.Riveting.
>>97352982I'm sorry to be the one to break this to you, but WW2 is just rock paper scissors where rock and scissors are the same unit type.

It's pic related. Peter Jackson tried to copy Blix's swag for a good reason
>>97342978Yeah, I'd put it under "hag" more than "goblin".
>>97313690This is my primary argument that all goblins should have massive cocks. Because it's undeniable that that goblin has one, and that makes big dick goblins canon.
>>97352975yeah, but he's the goblin KING.so all that tells me is that goblins probably determine leadership by dick size. which feels like a very goblin thing to do tbqh.

What can you do to make bandit encounters more immersive and interesting than the old ambush-fight shtick?
>>97349486Hire hungry samurai.
>>97349486I'm assuming Generic Medieval Setting (TM) here. >The party come across the ransacked caravan. Throats cut, boxes broken open, and a hasty trail leading off in the forest nearby. You listen closely to hear laughter and lots of noise which means lots of men.>The GM hands the party's scout a note. 'You see them well before they can spot you. Six men you count. Spears and crossbows. Poorly hidden behind the birch trees up ahead.' And let the party ambush the ambushers>You round the bend to see a large log blocking the trail/road. Near the log are three men dressed in haphazard armor. They are in the process of hanging the third of three men from a nearby tree. (The men doing the hanging are the Reeve and his company. The hanging men are bandits)> A beggar on the road with a sickly boy. He'll ask for more than the party are willing to give. He'll hold the party up with a shaky hand and crossbow after the party refuse to give more.>The bandits are the government. You've reached a toll bridge. The footmen demand silver. If you give it too earnestly, they'll also demand to search the goods for "contraband". One of the footmen says he'll wave the fee if the pretty woman gives him a good kiss (something slimy will get everyone prickly). They'll ask for a donation to "ignore" the "contraband" they found among you. (optional twist: you notice that the waffenrock they are wearing are a little too dirty and a little too bloody. They aren't the baron's men after all.. just pretending to be!)>>97352593Solid ideas here.
>>97349486It's not an ambush. These bandits are confident. This is their highway, or their bridge, or something else of that nature. They're here to collect their toll, and they're not above beating it out of you.
>>97349486>puckee spamming his commission againhttps://www.reddit.com/r/DnD/comments/v9he6h/calloway_pierce_highwayman_art_by_indigo_jenar_art/https://desuarchive.org/_/search/image/oYACxsqx5QYwSnNxrb1AcQ/>43 times
>>97349486There's always the option to add morally grey elements.Alternatively you can add wrinkles like hostages, captured beasts, magical allies, dubious identity.It could be foreign agents trying to destabilize a region that have a barbarian lizardman they release, hidden traps all around the battlefield and the leaders surrender when loss is certain, claiming that they have a hostage that will die if they don't return
What is the counterculture of 2020s, that could be used as the basis for a contemporary countercultural tabletop game?Take the World of Darkness for example, which was so grounded in the the counterculture of the 90s that it comes across as dated and strange today. How would you update the World of Darkness so that it better represents the counterculture of today?Nightmare Mode: Talk about more than just politics. There's more to rebellion against the status quo and the prevailing social norm than who you vote for.

Nono guys trvst, the patriarchy is so counter culture now, ever since I once saw a woman with coloured hair and a pronoun pin at a trade fair.
Disregard that this is literally what corpos look like in every cyberpunk game ever, these guys are actually super punk rock because they're against racial dysgeny!!
Is it better to have fully anthropomorphic beast people in your settings or just humans with like animal ears and tails?
>>97348181I’m not so paranoid as to think that every depiction of an animal person is furry. None of the examples here scream furry, they’re simply beast folk that wouldn’t look out of place in any fantasy setting. You are seeing furries where they don’t exist my friend
>>97350808Also the human face is literally just copy-pasted onto the CGI head.That adds a few more notches into the uncanny valley.
>>97343147>Women are basically pets you're not allowed to discipline in western culture.skill issue
>>97351623That’s what those design are. It’s not just cats, those little Ewoks from the Pillars of Eternity looked off in a more realistic style. It’s a terrible design that’s only saved by artstyle. Imagine if Izutsumi was depicted with hyper realistic fur and a realistic human face, I doubt people would find her as cute as she is in anime style.
