>>97264693>the sneak example reads like a railroading "no you actually can't do that" attempt and bad DM style as well tbch Case in point of railroading meaning fucking nothing when some idiot thinks skill checks for obviously retarded shit not being possible is "railroading".
>>97264688>does nothing to complete the missions and in fact tries to savotage everything we do>if we are in danger he fleesI think there's a thread made by that guy currently on the catalogue, lol.

How do we fix Steampunk?
>>97253579>>97253623>magic is just exotic technology>everything magic does can be described by in-universe sciencefantasy settings that take this approach are universally shiteven if it makes logical sense, I reject it on this basis alone
>>97262926>mad because something makes sense based
>>97262926It only makes logical sense according to our own world.Anons like the one you responded to fail to understand that a fantasy world can have aspects that are beyond its own natural aspects, because they will always apply real world logic, even to something that can have impossibilities occur such as fantasy.It's a waste of time trying to talk to them about fantasy.
>>97264337>Anons like the one you responded to fail to understand that a fantasy world can have aspects that are beyond its own natural aspectsNot really. Physics deals with what is real. Reality is reality. Is it real within itself? Within the fantasy? Then it's physics of a kind. Fantasy is fantastical physics.
>>97264337Are you implying a fantasy, however absurd, wouldn't have its own self-contained logic? How else does it exist? inb4:>"it's fiction it doesn't exist"Not what I asked.

The DM reveals that all this time, the 'Chaotic Evil invading soldiers' you've been fighting and slaughtering were actually Lawful Good innocent untrained peasants. They were tricked/convinced into believing they were fighting for survival and defense of their impoverished homeland.THE PALADIN FALLS AND LOSES ALL POWERS!!!Do you feel like a hero yet?
>>97252887If Paladins weren't supposed to fall then they wouldn't have rules for it. The whole broken oath thing is a Chekovs Gun, and it's immoral on the part of the DM to NOT shoot the gun during the campaign. Paladins are literally asking for it by having an oath at all.
>>97254320>a holy warrior going to war causes him to fall that's just being a shit DM.Consummating your marriage automatically causes a Paladin to fall, so it's reasonable that going to war does.
>>97264534>Paladins are literally asking for it by having an oath at all.You clearly don't understand the concept of an paladin oath, or have mistaken it for a taboo. A paladin oath has to be knowingly violated, or accomplish an act so incompatible with their vows and code of conduct in general, that it requires repentance for. The idea that a DM should be obligated to punish the player in some kind of "gotcha" moment only adds to unnecessary hostility, and just means the players have no reason to trust their DM if they're made aware they're intentionally plotting to ruin their fun on the flimsiest excuses.

On a similar topic, I'm playing Kingdome Death monster on Tabletop Simulator checking for bugs to form a group later probably (note: there's some sadly)I gotta say Tabletop Simulator is growing on meI was kinda off/afraid of it, because it gave me too much "fake" vibes, like "it's not the same"But damn after playing with it, it's literally the dream mark zukerberg wanted with the metaverse, I can see a group of 4 guys in a call playing on TTS being kinda almost the same.80% there

Welcome to /wbg/, the 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. 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, cunt!Last thread: >>96999149Worldbuilding links: Post someFantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator
>>97264597>What I meant is that you cannot co-exist with them in some honestThey literally coexist with humans in the freaking story. Hell, the rapid expansion of their species is predicated on coexistence with humans. Legitimately the only point of real racial conflict is the human sacrifice, which is unexplained in both need and nature.>it like to co-exist with vampires in some honest wayPlenty of settings have humans coexist with vampires and the ones that don't generally rely on contrivances like vampires being inherently stupid, evil, and/or impulsive and bizarrely anti-social even among each other if other vampires even exist on a level where their continued survival in the first place makes no sense.
>>97264657>They literally coexist with humans in the freaking storyNot in any honest (or mutually conscious) way.>Plenty of settingsThat just means that you can tweak your setting as you like.
>>97264707They say give us women and we’ll give you gold. Then they do that. Totally honest.Ideological xenophobia is cringe and dumb.
>>97264737It is like totally honest hooking on drugs. Not accepted by the whole society as a norm.>Ideological xenophobia is cringe and dumb.Modern mentality killed all the thrill.

>>97165346>>97165495What about giving it thematic spells, like defensive wards and shit? Same with the other elements?

I would like to talk about the Chronicles of Darkness game line Deviant: The Renegades, or more specifically, one major upcoming supplement. Deviant was released in late 2021, and has had three additional sourcebooks since then. A new supplement, Black Vans, has been in playtesting for a while, and is currently being previewed.I am not being paid or sponsored to promote this book in any way. I am just very fascinated by it, and indeed, I already ran a mini-campaign using the playtest material.Deviant is, by default, a game about playing angsty, scarred superheroes who either fight world-manipulating conspiracies or work for them. Black Vans is a toolkit full of variant rules, quick NPC creation, variant character types, and variant genres. These variants range from the minor to the dramatic, completely overhauling what were once non-negotiable, foundational themes and mechanics. Maybe your character is not angsty or scarred at all, perhaps they are a """""regular human""""" like John Wick or Batman, or the campaign might have nothing to do with world-manipulating conspiracies.These variant genres include cyberpunk, high fantasy, post-apocalypse, space opera, and superhero emergence.This is a beefy supplement. For example, one chapter alone dedicates 38,000+ words to playing other monsters of the Chronicles of Darkness: Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves. No additional supplements beyond Deviant are necessary; the rules are self-contained, allowing the group to play a monster mash of an urban fantasy setting without needing a daunting 7+ books. And yes, they are supposed to be balanced against one another, so a vampire in the same group as a full-fledged mage is probably some older Kindred.(Continued.)
>>97260395You are welcome.>>97260797Yes, it is very much possible to make a fake vampire, a fake werewolf (down to the spirit manipulation), and so on using the core rulebook alone. A fake changeling, even, given Shallow Graves and powers like Fate-Bind and Opener of Ways.It is also possible to use the Black Vans' 38,000+ word chapter on playing Beasts, changelings, demons, Sin-Eaters, hunters (entirely separate from the variant rules for """natural""" superpowers), mages, mummies, Prometheans, vampires, and werewolves using Deviant's own rules.
>>97262563Alright I'm def getting this shit then. The other Deviant supplements were pretty damn crummy so I was hesitant
>>97264048Have you had a look at Shallow Graves yet? It is very comprehensive in expanding player options.
>>97264144No, I only have clade companion and devoted, how many am I missing?
>>97264163Just Shallow Graves. All said, it is significantly more comprehensive a book than The Devoted Companion and The Clades Companion.Eric Zawadzki's Patreon currently has the full pre-release text of Black Vans up for subscribers, too.

this thread made me realize that we're all globally in the shit right now because companies got tricked by entitled narcissists into hiring literal nutjobs that would've ended in the looney bin if they still existed and literal negative IQ retards who need to breathe manually, while paying them above the average wage for doing jackshit, too, just to not hire people who can do the job.Imagine, you can't get a real job because a legbet could cry about black on black violence caused by time traveling whites from the penis dimension and land a job as a Creative Director of surgical breast reduction or Narrative Fuhrer of Gay Lore somewhere in a big company, just for being sexually retarded and mentally gay, while getting promoted for openly trying to kill whatever xheyxhem are pretending to work on.I just don't fucking get it, man.

>>97264506Ignoring Hudie (which doesn't do anything Green-flavoured because nobody runs Kabuterimon), Green. Extremely tough to rely on battle gimmicks and soft control when every other deck can hide in raising and/or get effect immunity and/or protection and/or incidentally remove every small body you spit out. Also feels like more pre-Liberator Green decks have been treated worse than any other colour. Laughably bad Rapid and Cherubi support, only a handful of plants and insects (mostly for other archetypes), essentially nothing for Leomon, JP getting colour swapped so the one fun Hybrid deck would stay dead.Can't even be happy about the Tyrannomon support because they gave it a pointless red Koromon and locked it out of consistency options until it gets them in the literal last wave of dual memory boosts

>>97263983Different anon here:It sounds to me like the early game might start off a little slow, or poor luck in your opening hand could cause the equivalent of being mana screwed in Magic. To combat this, you could have a generous mulligan rule, or as an option, you could let players 'go gravedigging' on their turn, sacrificing all other actions to, for example, turn the top 5 cards of their deckinto their graveyard. It kind of reminds me of the 'Exert' rule from the old Highlander TCG. Alternately, you could always just start the game with X amount of cards in your graveyard. I dunno, just a few options to consider.
>>97262944I mean that's fine but I'm definitely not crediting a game with "good art" if that art is just lifted from somewhere else.>>97263005they could have done better. low budget doesn't have to mean bad.

Recently I was thinking about alternative combat systems.I remember someone talking about instead of HP the payer has a Jenga tower and he needs to remove peaces once hit, the skill is to remove peaces without the tower collapsingSo I started thinking.For example what if the combat somehow involves cups and balls?Instead of a D20+modifier nonsense why not change it up? Why not give a player 10 balls or legos or whatever and to win an encounter the player needs to land 2 balls in 1 cup?There can be variants of this like a super hard encounter demands the player lands all 10 balls or what about reducing the size of the cup with the difficulty of combat?What if we implement a fate system from Talisman for the players? What if legendary bosses have something like that for themselves? And can negate the players victory? What if different monsters use different "balls" like for example some bone golems will be you throwing legos into cups and zombies are aluminum balls while naga can be gummy bears? That actually makes the monster feel different and not a copy pasted set of numbers. Also the different aerodynamics of these "balls" are part of the fun.Comment too long.

So what I’m picking up; OP wants a combat system where a Dex roll should be done by the player playing 5 finger fillet on moms dining room table to improve his actual dexterity, strength rolls should involve actual kettle bells and charisma checks need to be over saw by someone with real world sales experience to see if their speech waivers on delivery huh?OP is high as fuck, but I can appreciate some out of the box thinking

>>97257901That's fair. My understanding is that 'unc' is short for 'uncle' and means a man who is or acts middle-aged? That fits the character pretty well, actually.>>97258566That's fair. Everyone has different opinions and aesthetic opinions regarding character design can be particularly divisive.

>>97247451I liked MHA enough to start working on the idea of a super setting like it.

Some if they have good publicity are picked up.>Villains are actual people who go around committing crimes but also some people rigged/primed by the system for rally arlund the flag and keep Civic Heroics going.>Going to an academy guarantees you a contract and landing a gig as a sidekick who can potentially become a Hero if you break out enough.>Superheroes emerged because the Illuminati leader as a kid watched a Saturday Morning cartoon and wanted that world of endless conflict to happen..the Illuminati played along because they get awesome powers and its easy to control the masses.
