>>97214901BLM didn't gain enough traction and Paizo doesn't want to overplay their hand with more spearchucker content.Besides, there's plenty of other places to make gay and retarded.
>>97214901What confuses me is how Sargava went from a pretty grimy Brazil-style colony to this strange, perfect geometry quasi-futuristic monolith of marbled megastructures.
>>97214901Past the DEI accusations and the like, most regions only get one AP at a time. Especially before they just gave up on 6 books APs. The LO guides are designed to give you as much information for you to do your own adventures in, not so much an overglorified primer for an AP you may or may not like.To get something like the Tian Xia project, that requires a lot of coordination between all the disparate teams at Paizo and even that got nearly fucked over by the OGL drama (it pushed the whole deal by a year). It just makes the most sense to jump around and not always pay their Diversity Consultants to stand around and look pretty.
Since Andoran's getting a lot of focus lately, has the Darkmoon Vale been returned to for any adventures besides the Crown of the Kobold King remake? I really liked CascadiAppalachia.

Previously: https://desuarchive.org/tg/thread/96936967/When last we met, we made G.E.T.S. (Generally Entertaining Team-built System). Thus far, it seems to be a fairly minimalist system.Now, we shall make our first setting for this system.If your proposed idea gets doubles, it is canonized. Any canon characters, worldbuilding, themes, et cetera can be modified (but not outright contradicted or discarded) by triples, quadruples, et cetera.Let us continue.
How do we know when to stop posting?
World topology is a mobius strip.If you go around it you get reversed in body and soul and become evil. (You'll think everyone else is reversed and evil.)
This setting lacks the law of conservation of energy.
The main conflict is the struggle against alienation.

Guys, how can I improve the look of that type of gold and bronze? I don't know what kind of shade or highlights I should use.

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

>>97171614One of the most prominent ones is the Silver Hand. Started as a "revange plot" against the ruling noble family of the biggest kingdom in the world, with a desire to kill the major members and their supporters. Over time, its members have found some shady shit that is connected to stuff like godhood and also the nature of other world and demons. Nowadays, it has several different 'sects' that have various goals and try to work together, somewhat.They are also very prominent in alchemical and technological fields. One of their most infamous sub-organizations are alchemically-infused elite murderhobos that have little to no restraint. Other than that, their main power is them having a lot of money and influence.Named after a punishment performed against thieves and bandits.

Life support bump
NOT A BEN 10 RPG, Pic is just the basic idea.Pretty much, i'm looking for an RPG based around the idea that the base character NEVER gets any stronger, any better, nothing along those lines. No level ups, no no nothing. The main character has the exact same stats throughout the entire game, maybe getting better equipment, but no extra abilities.BUT:, like Ben 10, the idea is that the character can unlock (Maybe via buying using XP or being gifted by the GM or something like that) new forms that they can turn into.Something like Ben 10 with the alien forms that grant superpowers, or Animorphs with the different animals, or Digimon with the Digivolutions. Stuff like that.Are there any systems along these lines that exist?
What little of the show I did see back in the day included him trying to turn into one alien only to end up turning into a different one, and it makes me think that a variant of Everyone is John where each player is an alien trying to be activated by the hero regardless of how appropriate their skillset is to the situation at hand would make for a pretty funny game.
>>97207837You could do this pretty trivially in GURPS. Don't reward regular character points, but let players get new Alternate Forms in play.
>>97207837M&MToonGURPS could do it, but it would not be funThat is what I can think of right now.
>>97208074Came here to suggest OVA. It's simple enough to stat up a series of unique transformations.
>>97207837Kids on Bikes, with Ben as the Powered Character. Just have the different powers be different aliens/forms/whatever. It's not a system that's really designed to Ramp Up. The rules for leveling up are dumped in the back and basically just say "rearrange your stats or swap out your trait."

Why are the Blood Angels the only ones that are lore accurate?
>>97213594Yes you fucking idiot, they erupt all the time.
>>97214438Black people were always around in 40K.Problem is that most of the sub-factions that were ethically homogenized got de-homogenized.Celestial Lions are all black, but that's fine since they have a distinct African theme and are homogenized.However other factions that are based on specific themes (Greco-Roman for Ultramarines, Viking for Space Wolves and so on) are de-homogenized.That also pisses me off.

Why is it so common for fantasy rpgs that try to do the "Deep Lore" stuff to always default to Gnosticism or H.P. Lovecraft in a trench coat?
>>97208974Star Ocean 3 did "The universe is a simulation" and everyone hated it.
>>97209182>>97209186>>97209192Lovecraft and Howard were friends and put references to each other's works in their worlds, sword and sorcery is inherently tied to Lovecraftian fiction
>>97208974Name twenty five examples.
>>97209182First off, White Wolf is Luciferianism. It even pointed it out in Demon: The Fallen. Everything was because Lucifer loved humanity more than God.So yeah, your wrong.>>97209186This is fact.The only difference between Sword and Sorcery and Lovecraft is who wins the battles.>>97209201Buddhism is Gnosticism, just for East Asia.>>97210777This is also fact.Comment too long.

I like how Gregg Stafford subverted this and turned it on its head in Glorantha. The "deep lore" is basically a constructed mono-myth by neo-platonic atheistic sorcerers, in reality it is the viewer who constructs reality through faith and actions by re-enacting "mythical" actions. Its Jung and Eliade pilled and closer to how humanity has viewed the myths in history and much less positivist (ala Lovecraft), "this is the way the world is constructed" while still having some basic cosmological rules. The Lunars are the most strange because there is no real life earth analogue for their extreme theological syncretism, maybe the Innana Ishtar cult of the ancient near east would be the closest analogue or Hindu Shaktism. However it I have not seen much comparison between Glorantha and the Lovecraft mythos and its funny because Chaosium has owned both games. Maybe Lovecraft's Dreamlands and Clark Ashton Smith influenced some of Glorantha.
Without thinking about it, entirely subconsciously, you are trained by Pathfinder and D&D to safeguard your players. You are taught to coddle them! And when does this subconscious teaching happen? Not in ANY dungeon master resource. It happens before your first adventure, before your very first D20 roll.It happens when you create characters.In Pathfinder, character creation takes a ridiculous amount of time. I ran it for about six years, and I saw it take well over an hour, sometimes going up to two for new players. As a GM who understood the system inside and out, I could get it done in about a half hour. Losing a character in a game with such a painstaking character creation process is absolutely devastating. As a GM, you wonder if that person will bother to make a new character, or if they will just leave, and if they do, who will go with them? Will you even have a game afterwards?And enemy statblocks are the same way. You look at these massive text blocks that include three different saving throws, the type of hit dice, types and sub-types of creature, and perhaps most hilariously unnecessary, ALL SIX STATS. Who on earth looks at all that and dares think “I’ll make some monsters of my own!” Please understand, I’m not saying nobody makes their own monsters. I’m saying that it is an undertaking to make a monster with a statblock like that. Figuring out saves, stats, and heaven forbid you want to get CR correct, good luck with testing out that garbage.

What is the best system for playing a paraplegic fantasy adventurer?
>>97215490allowing theater kids into dnd was a mistake
>>97215651Thank you pepperoni-chan
>>97215490Pathfinder 2nd edition.Rules as written, effects which would prevent you from moving also have an effect on the chair. Effects such as, for example, being paraplegic.
>>97215722Local lord threads are still funny.
A caster in a wheel chair? Could be cool. A MARTIAL in a wheel chair? It’s never going to look cool. Not unless you’re an old fart with a shotgun acting all sneaky.
