You must mean "Writer", because the only one who really acknowledges their existance is Nick Kyme, and he came up with the Chapter after Salamanders got retconned out of their yellow armor, since his favorite Legion seems to be amphibians, but his favorite chapter seems to be MM, as he tries to always find a way to write them in. Heck, he even wrote a possible founder within the Heresy series of books with Crysos Morturg

Wasn't the whole deal that the setting would appear to be blatently Pro‐Christian at a glance but the devs sperged out when people made this assertion to "own the chuds"? All I know for certain is that the art for this game is really good, trying to figure out if it's worth investing in.

>>97265888
There’s still not enough detail for a full analysis here. If your LT has nothing but an auto pistol you’re making a huge mistake. Your sniper priest is going to need a bodyguard so he doesn’t get eaten by fly thralls, making him even less points efficient. Your shock trooper doesn’t need grenades but does need a melee weapon. Satchel charges are basically suicide bombs, try to use it on something valuable and expect to die the following turn. All in all this list is a bit of a mystery to me. Did you just pick what you think would be good without any consideration of how the rules work?

I finally got around to watching True Detective S1, really good shit, watched it with my pa too. Got me in a certain mood so I dug up my collection of Machen short stories and the complete John Silence stories I got for my birthday a couple years back, they scratch the itch somewhat. Getting back into X-Files too and I'm wondering if anyone has any particular favorites when it comes to that genre of occult detective and/or conspiracy thriller with horror overtones?

Voices of the Void strikes a really different feel with its horror. You play as some dude searching and saving signals from beyond using a satellite array. That's it. But you have to go out and service these satellites and check on the power station. Exploring is neither encouraged or discouraged. It's a very slow burn game until it very much is not. Sometimes things happen. Sometimes they don't. One of my favorite little details is that the doors on your base all have passkeys on them, so that they can be locked. It's never told to you as to why you would need such security, it's just there. Lot's of small things like that.

Unfortunately it's gotten a (mostly deserved) reputation for being the dev's magical realm. If you downloaded the game and just played it, you wouldn't have any idea about it. But going to any sort of community involving the game would immediately barrage you with canonical/formerly canonical/fanon magical realm content that can possibly kill tension for the game itself. I personally don't mind most of it, honestly. But I know some will absolutely detest it. So if you are interested in playing it, go in blind to the game and its community until you've had your fill, or wait for the game to be complete (currently version 0.8.2). It's free.

For /tg/ purposes, it may work best as a single player TTRPG. Maybe could have up to 3 or 4 people total, but you'd have to add more objectives and tasks for players to do, which could become tedious. The less people the better, for tension.

>you need to understand that there's *no way* to bring all this content together in one consolidated volume.

While it could be done since PDFs don't care about page count, I think the main nightmare is just how scattered all the rules are. Aside from optional mechanics and player options tucked away in various adventures, there's also heaps of stuff in Dragon/Dungeon magazines.

Thankfully, some of the work was already done ages ago with the various compendium books, but it is kind of crazy just how much material was made for 2e, and this is far from an exhaustive list.

I think relying on wikis is really the best option at this point, though there are people who are doing their best to compile things like all the monsters in one space. https://www.completecompendium.com/

>>97265569
>PDFs don't care about page count
Yeah but there's no actual, practical reason to make one gigantic PDF out of every book either instead of keeping the files separate on the same device, separate files is functionally identical to clear bookmarks in one huge file.

>>97266579
I’ve been thinking of something to write with Jian. I think after the latest writefag he’d want to get stronger, since he was trying pretty hard to protect Moyu. I was thinking of using Chizi and Linghao in this story, maybe Shen again so that Jian can have that convo where it’s not his job to protect her, but Shen’s. Nobody knows this, but that’s step 1 in the looooong staircase to building their ship.

>>97263472
>What did Heinrich and Wen do?
I was basing it mostly off of the same thing >>97263496 brought up - but Wen's anon seems to imply this was done with consent so I'm wrong on them not being benevolent.

>>97264107
My first draft of the fight had Dashan tanking a second strike from Duan Lian for Jian, the talismans on him being the main reason he gets away without losing a limb. But finding a way to get him to the fight was difficult (maybe carried by Sanmo? But then he'd have to wait outside the gambling den the entire gambling scene, and he's a giant stone dog so I don't know if Sanmo can even lift him fully).

I think I was going to include a line or two during the excuses/kowtow loop where Jian mentions that he needs to wait for Dashan to finish being painted by Ri, but ended up forgetting to add that - I was very quick with my proofreading/edit phase since I didn't want to delay the writefag any longer.

>>97267033
Ah, I was thinking something like that might’ve been the case, since Moyu and Jian do fly away pretty far. I was just confused as to why Dashan hadn’t even been referenced in the whole story, which I see was just a quick edit situation. I understand anon, still a great story for all it was worth. I just wanted to know so I could make something out of it in whatever I write next.

As I start turning the gears in my head for what to write next, I just want to say that I found it quite interesting how you wrote Jian as very focused on protecting Moyu. I mean, that’s totally something he’d do, but it’s cool because I can feed that into an arc. I think that’s a good motivation for getting stronger and sparring more with others.

I’ve been thinking about it, and since I haven’t gotten around to a relationship chart yet, what makes Jian care about Moyu instead of considering her a simple nuisance is twofold: 1. She genuinely likes his company, dragon condition or no, and she holds him in high regard, and 2. Moyu is so proud, so haughty, so crass… Jian thinks Moyu is very human. That actually helps him stay anchored to his own humanity by acting like a boy his age should: getting into trouble, having fun and, to a degree, finding her a little pretty. (If he says that to her face, Jian will never hear the end of it from Moyu, surely).

For all it’s worth, I kinda screwed up with my own edit of my last writefag myself. I intended to write a little moment where Kaoru wonders what Kenji would’ve thought about Godzilla 2000, being a movie guy and all, but I thought that might’ve been weird if she’s getting all romantic with Takaishi and she suddenly thinks about another guy. I’ll find better excuses to write more Kenji in the future, trust.

It's just bizarre to me that in a 200+ post thread that randos are seemingly showing up to repeatedly answer a question that wasn't aimed at them and has nothing to do with the rest of the discussion going on. It's absolutely bizarre behavior that is not easily explained by normal fa/tg/uys being bored.

Yeah, half the people were just some minor mistake.

>If your standard for alien psychology would apply to other humans, then how does it differ from an "American basedboy"?
I didn't understand what's your point. Different cultures can have psychology alien to each other. An American basedboy cannot properly understand a Taliban fighter. But when we are talking about "historical consciousness" (medieval, for example) in comparison to basedboy's consciousness, that have pretty different anachronistic character, which is much less plausible to have.

Oh, also, the fate of sacrifices to the Deep Ones isn't revealed. It's possible, nay probable, that they're just sex slaves for breeding, since that seems to be their primary concern when dealing with humans.

>>97265402
>Yeah, when you are killed because you don't pray to the only right god
They didn't. Outsiders were left alone unless they were to be sacrifices and residents were left alone if they submitted to the authority of the Deep Ones. They even guaranteed anyone that submitted a right to a jury trial if they were suspected of any wrongdoing.

A FUCKING JURY TRIAL! Truly a completely alien society. Who could imagine what is going through their heads?

>>97265425
>Outsiders were left alone unless they were to be sacrifices and residents were left alone if they submitted to the authority of the Deep Ones.
Just mimicking to infiltrate and not attract attention. Have you seen the movie "Mimic" (1997). It is a perfect example.

I had this world I used to think about all of the time but I didn't write anything down and now I don't remember any if the details. It's fucking driving me crazy. It was about this planet with an edible rock that gave people special abilities and there was this city based around a lake with a sacred god fish that used to be a pet of the ancient humans. Their entire religion is based on the dialogues between the fish and its creator and they await the time when the fish wakes up again.

I’ve got an idea of how to pull of the trope of "cold iron" in a simple, yet effective and flavorful way.
First of all, "cold iron" in this context would be a purely poetic way to refer to *any* kind of iron (including steel), as in the original real-world folklore, with the Fae’s weakness to it being the result of the inherent magical symbolism of "wild nature being conquered by human civilization and progress".
Second of all, iron actually does *not* just deal increased damage to Fae; in fact, it inflicts the same amount of harm it would do to a regular human (because *anyone* will dies from being shanked, no matter the material). It´s just that it’s *everything else* that deals *less* damage. Due to supernatural biology and/or access to healing magic, Fae are able to shrug off non-magical physical damage relatively easily, and in order to counter that, weapons made from any non-iron material need to be enchanted separately first. Iron’s special because it’s the only material that *doesn’t* need magical enchantement in order to harm Fae normally; enchanting would still make it even more deadly, but any old kitchen knife or farming/gardening tool will still do the job in a pinch.
It would also explain why nailing an iron horseshoe above your front door keeps the Fae from entering: it’s not a magical ward or anything (like how a crucifix repels vampires and demons), but instead a warning sign that lets the Fae know that this is a household with relatively easy access to iron objects and that the residents will thus not be defenseless against them.

To answer this question, it is best to look at the situation practically and determine the general position of women in the society of the setting you're designing or playing in. Historically, the difficulties of managing a house (cooking, cleaning, laundry, making clothes, etc.) and the lack of childcare services (birthrates and deathrates were typically high) necessitated that one parent devote themselves to homemaking/housekeeping, which was almost always a married woman due to the physically intensive nature of most occupations available in an early society. This, in turn, cultivates a patriarchal tradition within the society that lasts even after jobs that require less physical intensity emerge, though it should be noted that most cultures still had unmarried (and sometimes married) women working in some capacity.

Once (societally beneficial) magic is introduced though, there are numerous factors to consider depending on the implementation:
>If both sexes have equal capacity for magic, then women would be just as capable of men of performing a highly-desirable occupation; if one sex is noticeably better at magic than the other and magic triumphs over strength, then either a patriarchal or matriarchal society will emerge
>Most likely, widespread magic would make many chores either trivial or take significantly less time, freeing up considerable amounts of time; the necessity for a dedicated homemaker/housekeeper decreases
>If healing/curing magic exists, then mortality rates drop significantly; a population boom will lead to a flooded job market, which leads to a more even mix of working men and working women

With that in mind, priesthood is typically not a very labor-intensive job, so the core duties of the clergy would differ much between the sexes. Most sex-based differences come from the religion itself, which is based on the societal conditions the religion developed in. In a typical fantasy setting, female clergy are as viable as male clergy.
