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?
>>97218699Simple enough question.
>>97217788Perhaps you should read the books where hes dropping fireballs every couple of days
>>97219181Yeah, it is quite simple.
>>97218076How about magic from belief? You have a priest who REALLY REALLY BELIEVES that he can banish a spirit, he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. Alternively, the belief could be a resource, ie a priest, wizard of godling has to convince a big enough group of people that their magic works, allowing it to happen. It could be cast using personal methods or a set formulae, but without the belief that it will work, it doesnt.It would lead to some interesting situations - a unbelieving scientist attempting a spell in a spellbook and nothing happens becasue he has no belief. A powerful wizard, priest or god could be reliant on the belief the people have in them - if the legend of the caster fades over time, their power fades or vanishes as well. It would give priest characters something to do than just heal, they would have to keep trying to generate belief in their particular god or brand of magic, while reducing the power of competing beliefs and religions. Building/destroying shrines and temples would aid one side or another, while a wandering wizard would encourage tales of mystery and wonder that spread from his adventures.
>>97221495>he matches his willpower against it (his belief) and if he wins, the spirit is banished. That is a formula that one of its parts is belief. The formula doesn't need to be compromised by hard math to be a formula. A newts eye, the tear of a virgin, and the a true loves kiss combined breaking a curse, or casting Charm Person is still a formula even if two of the parts are not really tangible.

Making a goofy chess game, basically you're just doing puzzles for points with a streak multiplier like on a regular site, but for every three you get right in a row it lets you pick a single use card that can change the rules for one puzzle. If you use one it'll let you cook and try to beat the puzzle "under par" for multiplicative bonuses. I wanted to make chess Balatro but I only vaguely know what Balatro is. Kinda hard making the cards balanced and fun, but I did have a cool tactic with a "knights get pawn attacks" one, and my own minimum viable engine used the "Whoops! All knights!" one against me, so I think this could be neat with some more features.
>>97219567Sounds fun.

>>97220563Trouble is nowadays, that traditional view of "we are the devolved descendants of past gods living in the ruins of greater times" clashes with the current corporate sales driven view of "Old=bad, New=good". Todays newest generations of narcassistic players believe that they are the gods and that any games and background they use (before jumping onto the next new thing) should reflect this.
>>97221457Skill issue. Reclaiming from the darkness is a viable power fantasy, its all about presentation.
>>97220533I mean folks, where's the lie?
>>97221457>Todays newest generations of narcassistic players believe that they are the gods and that any games and background they use (before jumping onto the next new thing) should reflect this.Not really.
>>97219278Mutants as fantasy races. Super Mutants? Orcs. Eloi? Halflings. Morlocks? Ogres. Ghouls? Well... Ghouls. The medieval mind of America 3000 AD describes them as basic fantasy races but look deeper and you'll find origin stories that sound less like a DND sourcebook and more like something out of Fallout. Most non-humans get relegated to ghettos. Even the Ghouls, extremely close to basic humans in a great feat of genetic irony, have been pushed to the absolute fringes of society where they have to work as rat catchers and tanners. >>97220642Mutants go extinct in those books from literally fucking themselves to death. They were fucking so much they left a distinct genetic marker which is hilarious.

>>97220865If people want to level up in my game they need to spend a week somewhere safe. Here is how I worded it, you can easily edit it if you use XP. So far I've found it pretty good, it means people engage with the local towns etc during that week. The party cleric spends a lot of his time scribing scrolls during that week.>When you accomplish significant campaign or personal goals the party gains the ability to level up. To level up you must spend 1 uninterrupted week training, studying, or otherwise cementing the learning needed to acquire your new skills. During this time a wizard can spend money to learn as many new spells as they wish. You can also spend time interacting with NPCs etc in between training but cannot engage in anything strenuous or which would be considered adventuring.
>>97221130Hmm that's interesting. And it can also be introduced halfway in a campaign with a diegetic explanation of higher levels requiring more study

How do you justify a "pest race" like goblins or rat people in your setting? Why wouldn't the dominant species make a concentrated effort to eradicate them if they were a problem?
>>97221225Rats serve a useful ecological purpose. Goblins do not.
>>97219750Yeah, but Lord Anon is operating right next to a hostile kingdom, so he'd be the first to get hit whenver Shitstainia decides to reclaim their rightful clay or just raid for some goblin strange.

>>97221102Is this less than ninety degrees? Because it's looking pretty a-cute.

>>97221559(8/12)It is a well known fact that parts of the planet are haunted, whether they be in a former shrine city, industrial city, ancient pyramid, or even an empty stretch of hills where something bad once happened. Most of the time “haunted” just means ghosts and similar phenomena, but sometimes more serious signs of Chaos taint have been encountered near the middle of the most haunted areas. The Inquisition has determined that the veil between reality and the Warp is still pretty frayed in parts of Khandania. During better times, this would have led to large sections of the planet being quarantined, perhaps the entire planet, but many worlds in the Vokaris Sector are in worse shape than Khandania is, and the Inquisition has limited resources. Instead only the absolute worse areas are off-limits, and even then mostly because locals fear the ghosts themselves rather than because they fear getting caught by law enforcement. Looters, outlaws, thrill seekers, and wannabe cultists sometimes go missing in the haunted zones. Some “haunted houses” have a particularly bad reputation, and those who explore them and survive report having vivid waking dreams of past atrocities, seeing statues, portraits and murals that become more hellish and degenerate the longer you look at them, and even encounters with strange monsters that are perhaps daemons or xenos, or at least the ghostly echoes of daemons or xenos.
>>97221568(9/12)>Economy:Khandania is a self-sufficient world that produces enough meat for significant exports, and enough energy, equipment, textiles, building materials, etc., for local use. Its main imports are high tech equipment it can’t produce itself. For the past few decades, the main import has been small non-Warp capable vessels that can be used for spotting raiders, visiting different parts of the planet, and doing sightseeing tours to some of the more picturesque parts of the solar system. Khandania also brings in lots of money from tourism, as its limited Imperial presence combined with the mercantile nature of the Group of Seven has led to the formation of entertainment districts where all sorts of vices can be catered to. Big game hunting and archaeology also brings in wealthy tourists. >Society:Khandania is a diverse planet with many subcultures. Ever city and stretch of land on the planet belongs to one of the Group of Seven, and each member of the Group has its own unique traditions as one would expect from a group of powerful Rogue Traders and Free Traders. Most of the commoners can be broadly lumped into three groups, the hardy herders in their large trucks, the grim butchers, mechanics, and longshoremen of the industrial cities, and the flamboyant entertainers and whores of the entertainment districts. Likewise, the off worlders can also be broadly lumped into three groups, the archaeologists, the big game hunters, and the gamblers, shore leaved crew, and idle rich who are only interested in the entertainment districts. As diverse as they are, there are certain traits that tie all these groups together.The first is the prevalence of masks. Khandania’s atmosphere is damaging to human lungs, so everyone wears masks of some sort when outdoors or in unsealed structures. Most of the masks are crude and functional looking, but wealthy individuals both local and visiting, have developed an elaborate system of ceremonial masks.
>>97221581(10/12)The second is the “Day of the Dead”. Certain local Ministorum figures and agents of the Inquisition have come to the conclusion that the Khandania’s haunted zones are powered by fear more than any other emotion, and therefore the best way to stem its influence is through quasi-religious celebrations. The “Day of the Dead” occurs every year (which is only 16 local days long) on the same day, upon which the Inquisition believes the veil of reality is the thinnest. Loud celebrations and parades meant to honor the dead happen throughout the day and parts of both the preceding and following nights, while quieter groups use seances and Ouija boards to try and contact the dead. Officially the ghosts are said to be the benevolent spirits of those who died under normal circumstances, but despite cover-up attempts, it is well known on the planet that previous colonies and even whole civilizations were wiped out under mysterious and/or violent circumstances. >Governance:Khandania is legally a “colony world” despite its large population, which makes it exempt from all but the most urgent tithes as well as many types of Imperial oversight. Most colony worlds are younger and have smaller populations, but Khandania retains its colony status due to the influence of the Group. Most branches of the Imperium are limited to a token presence in Teribithia, the de facto capital city, however, the Ministorum maintains a small office in every inhabited city on the planet where they manage a large network of lay preachers and quasi-religious charities. The Ministorum views Khandania as a lost cause and the personnel it sends there tend to be some combination of corrupt, incompetent, or simply burnt out. The lay preachers and charities are also notoriously corrupt, with many viewing their roles as a job at best, and an opportunity to engage in all sorts of illegal activity at worse. The Inquisitor posted to the planet is always a Radical.
>>97221604(11/12)Free from all but the most rudimentary Imperial oversight, the Group of Seven rules the planet as they see fit. The governing council is made up of representatives of each of the Group of Seven, in proportion to how many shares they currently have in the consortium that owns the planet and the trade routes to and from it. Many powers lie with the ruling monarch of the planet, who is elected for life by the council, but who can be removed with a three quarters vote. The current ruler is Queen-Governor Valentina Lamorteh, a dark haired beauty who takes the Day of the Dead unusually seriously and not only dresses up in costume for the three work shifts that fall within the Day of the Dead, but also during every major royal ceremony, and sometimes on random other days when nothing is happening, just to “try out a new look”. The Lamorteh Free Trader Cartel has started incorporating aspects of the Day of the Dead aesthetic into their uniforms and corporate logos as well.The Lamorteh Cartel is also known for its matriarchal nature, the tendency of its elite to sometimes marry siblings or first cousins, and its fondness for installing large stylized statues of its more famous members everywhere it can. The current largest statue is of Valentina herself, a 20 story bronze structure depicting her as the fictional “Lover of the Dead”.
>>97221608(12/12)>Defenses:Each member of the Group of Seven has their own law enforcement agency that has sufficient numbers to ensure basic law and order in the territories they control. These enforcers usually wear cheap, bland uniforms, have basic training at best, and are limited to basic equipment like batons, cheap handguns, and pump action shotguns. However a few members of the Group of Seven have specialized enforcer divisions with better gear and more decorative uniforms. At the top of the food chain are the small ceremonial armies that each Group of Seven member maintains, easily recognizable by their unique dress uniforms and high end equipment. Probably the only noteworthy thing about the law enforcers is their large inventory of heavy trucks they use for patrolling the sparsely inhabited rural areas.Aside from their law enforcement duties, the enforcers are also theoretically responsible for defending the planet’s inhabitants from the occasional rogue daemon rampage or small scale Drukhari raid, but they are utterly unsuited for the task, and usually limit themselves to covering up the aftermath of such incidents, which they are also bad at.The real backbone of the planet’s defenses is the fact there are usually 2-5 voidships in orbit at any given time, either there to pick up meat or transport wealthy visitors. Usually at least one is a Rogue Trader vessel, well armed and with a crack crew. This alone helps discourage all but the largest of raids that may try to attack the planet from orbit. The planet also has a small refueling station, which Imperial Navy vessels sometimes use. Some of the non-Warp capable vessels in the system are also well armed.

So just got a look at those nurgle leaks, what the actual fuck did they do to blight kings?! This shit is on par with giving Gobbsprakk a bonus to hit against wizards, it's so god damn niche. (On top of them still only doing 1 fucking damage, same for the fly riders but they at least get extra on charge) Also kinda bummed lord of plagues now exclusively fucking works on Rotswords. Festus looks fun but pretty niche, realistically I'll probably try and nab him just to hobby on.
>>97221005I know I post him quite often but I'm really proud of how my Ushorann turned out. I've done quite a few centerpieces since then and some other cool and fun models but he's still just my favorite. If not it's my Nagash, I'm proud of how I painted both of them.

Previous thread: >>97111514GURPS is a modular, adaptable system, capable of running a wide range of characters, settings, and play styles, with a level of detail varying from lightweight to completely autistic.Optional rules allow you to emulate different genres with a single system, or even switch genres within a single game.A nearly complete archive of GURPS books can be found by using the image. Never post direct links to the archive anywhere in plain text.If you're wondering where to start:- The Basic Set covers everything, including a lot of optional rules you probably won't use.- A genre guide can be found in the archive, under Unofficial/GURPSgen.
