TTRPGs are a social game first and foremost. That means there's unspoken rules that vary from group-to-group, but a common one is "acceptable breaks from sensibility" in the name of game experience or table cohesion. It's the kind of thing that keeps the bitter rivalry between the Elf and the Dwarf largely to amusing banter and not outright PvP. It's an innate instinct: nobody likes to spoil the atmosphere, because that's a large part of the appeal of a good game (alongside the freedom).That being said, there are also times when the group's course of action is patently retarded and you can't meaningfully push back on it without feeling like you'd cause a big fight over nothing (and then feel obligated to keep comrades away from the consequences), or something a character cannot abide has to be "sanded over" somewhat, or you as the GM don't want to cultivate the feeling that you're antagonizing your players by hitting them over the head with "you murdered someone because it was convenient and didn't even take measures to cover your tracks" or whatever unhinged misadventure occurred because something about the player position of the table cause human beings to lose IQ. Have you ever had that feeling? I think I see enough greentexts to think it's common.
>>97228087This only happens in storyshit games where giving actual consiquences for pc action "derails" the "plot". One of the reasons conventional story telling does not work for ttrpgs.

>>97227986You missed the entire setup then, the lizards are not fighting the demons, they're setting the 4 demonic sides against one another and tipping the scales so they stay locked in their endlessly unresolving conflict.It's practically a miniature version of a test to lock the realm of chaos unto itself.

>>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.

>>97226093I ran Tremere as a Bloodline though they could also work as a Covenant. I don't have the papers I made for them anymore but I'm fairly sure they were either a Mekhet or Ventrue bloodline with Obfuscate, Dominate and maybe Resilience? They had the stronger blood sympathy of a Bloodline active at all times, but their Bane was what I used to form the pyramid. They ran on Treehouse of Horror head-Vampire rules. Any Sire that died would also kill his childer and so on so forth, so their pyramid was a necessity for the bloodline to survive. They weren't as large as Tremere in Masquerade, but during the course of the campaign 4 NPCs suddenly combusted in the day because their sire was found by Hunters in the middle of the day.
>>97227437See, this is why people stick to referring to it as WoD5, "gWoD" is just not self-explanatory and you don't need an insulting nickname to get people to look upon something with scorn (look at "5e" being a shorthand for you-know-what).
>>97227589At first glance, it also feels a bit like trying to adapt Circle of the Crone to Masquerade.
>>97228010It feels like so much of v5's problems are because they're just taking things from Requiem without understanding why they were used and the purpose they serve in CofD.

>>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.
>>97227154I’ve fallen in love after doing the base coats on one. I still need to highlight but I am a big fan of how they look painted. Them being so small really helps.

"Contemplate This on the Tree of Woe" EditionArchives & Other Resources: https://rentry.co/cyoagAllsync: https://cyoa.allsync.com/s/owWor64yLTngDk3Previous thread: >>97219855>Thread Question: What would you ask as a thread question if you took the burden upon yourself?
>>97227690Some calculations because I got curious.Voyager 1 took 35 years to cross the heliopause, which is ~0.0019 light-years from the sun. An archmage that can skip space should be faster than that—let's say 10 times, so 0.35 years. The nearest star to the sun is Proxima Centauri, ~4.25 light-years away. 4.25 / 0.0019 x 0.35 = ~781 years. Exploring the nearest solar systems is unrealistic at that speed.However, what if the archmage has connections with a higher entity or some such? If we suppose that the entity is 100 times faster than them, it can travel to Proxima Centauri in 7.81 years. Add some permanent portals and exploring the nearby solar systems seems plausible. Then, add a few million years of age behind the entity and many other similar entities and exploring the Milky Way seems plausible.

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?
>>97217677>Magic should be rare, mysterious, superstitious. It should take time to use and be exhausting to castOP, my setting (using GRUPS) is like that. There are also no homosexuals in the setting, nor are any of the players homosexual. This is not a coincidence.
>>97227346And yet the GM appears to be a flaming homo. How does that work?
>>97227734He's the only gay in the village like in that british comedy.
>>97217788>Old thing good new thing bad
>>97217677Magic should NOT be rare.It should be at minimum between uncommon and common. It should be well explained, yet at the same time it should not be given out like candy. Only few should have access to magic.Small spells should be instant, without chants and require those depending on the spell's magnitude (not to mention specific reagents).Magic should be powerful at least and bordering extremely close to reality warping if not being this, yet should also have the user pay the price for overdoing it.
Have anyone here played this? How does it compare to the older 40k RPGs like Dark Heresy and it's derivatives? How does it compare to WFRP?
>>97224424It reduced a lot of the little specific rules and does progression different. But it's still basically the same game
>>97220814>>97220814They are really focusing on the whole patrons thing for this one, and so far it looks like every book is going to be (Patron Organization) Players Guide and (Patron) GM's Guide.You're never going to get gems like Disciples of the Dark Gods or Lure of the Expanse which add things to the game instead of retreading old lore material.
>>97227266It pisses me off so fucking bad they didn't just make a fixed up DH. The smartest move they made with that game was the focus.
>>97217635Less clunky than DH but also with less content. I'd say if you aren't already heavily invested in older games it's a good way to start.
It's close enough to the original that I can still use a lot of the content for it with minimal changes. I generally prefer the changes but it would be nice to have a conversion guide to speed things up when redoing content.
