Tiefling and Aasimar are pretty perfect as descendants of angels and demons.

>my grandpa had sex with a succubus once and here I am."
Immaculate Conception. Add some mysticism to your setting, everything shouldn't be vulgar. Personally I like the WoD's idea of vampires as descendants of Cain, but that mainly fits with modern settings (something like WoD + KULT setting + Tiefling and Aasimar).

>>97273367
>my grandpa had sex with a succubus once and here I am.
Wouldn't that make more sense for Lilith? The mark of Cain was on one dude and I think you'd be better off focusing on the first murderer aspect and the generally sinful nature of his line than the mark of Cain even if his progeny were marked.

Also I think you're mixing too many mundane lines with too many supernatural lines. On the one hand you have the descendents of angels, descendents of a woman whose essentially a demon, the first murderer, and then just Seth and the first blacksmith.

If you want more mundane origins I'd look at the descendents of Noah since they essentially define the three races of man from the biblical perspective. The other alternative, focusing on earlier biblical history is focusing less on people and more on superhumans.
>Sons of Seth/Able (not that Able had kids according to theology but he's better known)
>Sons of Cain
>Children of Lilith
>Nephilim (you could have individual sub-races, races, or tribes based on the named angels in the book of Enoch)

That gives you 4 to ten races I think (forget how many angels are named in Enoch) and could give you some stuff to play around with. Beyond that if you want to play around with theological influences what some of the watchers taught men is described by for specific angels and the descriptions of the nephilim tend to be giant and generally somewhat monsterous.

In general I'd say

Mate, Tolkien already made the most of it in The Silmarillion for standard (pseudo)medieval fantasy with dwarves and elves.

>>97270742

Why do you need to cater to (post)tolkienian races? Taking off even the few ACTUAL tolkienian "biblical" themes (nominally, jews=dwarves).

You can either take the lineage inspo (which would probably not make much sense as a "race", but still) or go wild with new races (which would not be very biblical, but still, again). Just using the player handbook's races is very, very, very uninventive.

Some ideas for the latter:
Children of Adam and Lilith=the "still blessed" immortals of Eden, without the gift of knowledge
Children of giants/nephilim trying desperately to redeem themselves (yes, I did like Noah the movie)

I don't think making Tubal-Cain or using the Table of Nations as basis for "another race" makes much sense, as in those guys are pretty clearly humans. IIRC this is true of Cain's descendants as well, but I THINK they are supposed to have been pre-sacrifice Cain, so maybe you could claim you token evil race could be post-sacrific cainites or something.

Unfortunately jinns while definitely more apt to this kind of shit aren't biblical.

I have to admit I preferred the NWOD approach here. The image of vampires as predators of Jesus himself, their dark mirror, is more badass than "just" killing your brother because God had a very bad passive-aggressive way of communicating.

Well, the easiest and best would be if you'd put them all in a nice big box and sent them all to me.

>>97273365
bitz box has lost some of its charm in these 3D printing times but im sure those parts you have stored in there for 20 or 30 whatever years would be happier if you give them a new life instead of just looking at them every now and then

>>97273365
If you feel you're not currently good enough to do what you want to make justice, hold off on it. Try kitbashing something without using your valuable bits to learn how to do it without fucking up. If you've done kitbashes before or are just a fairly experienced hobbyist at this point, shut up and just do it. You probably have the skill for it but you're paralyzed by choice or fear.

>>97273365
use em, even your premium bits. The bits that could be models in their own right. otherwise there will literally never be a better time. I'm probably never gonna make two models that could use a particular cool bit so do it the first time. And only save it if you have a serious idea.

Nobody is forcing you to cast Smite as a Paladin.
And likewise, it's not hard to homebrew 'Eldritch Knight but with the Cleric spell list'

>>97273570
no, but you do lose access to your second (and third) extra attacks which are infinite and dont consume spell slots, which are for buffies and for healies. as for the homebrew, i dont think it is either, but that requires getting my DM on board with it. (good luck, me)

I definitely see it as wank because this was part and parcel of the Dragonblood fanboy diatribes that were a huge part of the online discourse for a long time.

Because those solo gates give you free cards on theme for the deck and it would be problematic to give out good cards for free, this is why almost every single solo gate is about an unplayable garbage deck.

I played a Ghostbusters game, but for the life of me can't remember if it was the official rpg or some custom thing my friend made. Our characters were Ghostbusters franchisees for the city we actually live in. My character was a small time con man who didn't believe in ghosts and joined up because he thought it was just a way to scam credulous rubes. Finding new ways to rationalize the increasing levels of ghost activity was fun.

>>97261804
It's like this:
https://youtu.be/0tdyU_gW6WE?si=klJXx926eEFb5YKX

I'm intrigued by the idea of a Ghostbusters rpg but honestly thing it would probably just be based off of the original cartoon which was more funny and slapstick-y. I mean it has got cheerful right in the name.

Cairn is just ItO with an extra rule for longer term damage, but 2e added some pretty nice procedures.
