You can always try the old adventures in dark sun if you feel like it. And slavery is never just a one time thing under the burning glare of the dark sun. As long as the sorcerer kings rule there city's nobody is truly free even if they do not live in bondage.

The sorcerer kings love to run near constant slave raids in there own city's whenever they have a new idea pop into there heads and it needs tons of free labor to complete. New, bigger, grander temples to themselves and there own egos need to come from somewhere after all. So why not from the broken bodies and souls of massive temporary work forces you can whip into line from your own citizens. You can after all be dragged into and dumped out of slavery many times in your life. As soon as yu are done with whatever pet project your sorcerer king wanted done he will most likely just have you dumped back onto the streets where he does not need to feed, water, or keep you caged anymore.

Afterall the lifeless sands of the endless wastes are more than enough to keep you trapped behind his city's walls and under his control.

We've been running a Palladium Fantasy Dark Sun campaign for awhile now, and it's pretty fun setting. Our DM has gone above and beyond and basically has a little compendium of each city state with hooks, so we're focusing on creating a little roving trade caravan/mercenary group. Raam is full of all sorts of conspiracies and strife between revolutionaries, infighting between guilds and nobles, and secret police. Our start was as slaves in the Draj arena that won our freedom, so that might be a good start for you.

what the fuck is bumpfagging even supposed to be?
don't slower boards just naturally need bumps or w/e?

>>96465437
The bumpfagging is doing stuff like asking a basic inane question of a random poster in an attempt to restart dead conversations. Sometimes they'd do it multiple times in a row because nobody else responded, which just bloats the board. They refuse to let threads go even if they're basic or played out with topics like "how does magic work in your setting?"

>>96465456
Also they don't seem to actually *want* to engage. If you respond to the bumpfag, they won't respond back until the thread is about to fall off, then they'll take the opportunity to ask one more inane question of you. It's like they want to watch other people discuss the topic and only grudgingly post to keep the thread up.

>>96465456
>>96465471
isn't that literally how it works on most boards on here? the format usually is OP asks a question or w/e and the rest of the thread replies to him and replies to each other which will go on along.
Threads where OPs actively reply to every post or where they remain the focus of the conversation are rarer comparatively.
People were mentioning /m/ ITT awhile ago and it has threads that fit the bill:

Have the dragon maim the manticore in some way so that even if they heal it it won't be physically able anymore. Unless they have the power to restore lost limbs it is basically a cripple that would lose in a fight to much less threatening creatures if simply healed and left to its own devices again. Hell, you could even play it as the manticore having lost its will to continue the fight after getting so thoroughly trounced even if it survives.
This could prompt them to go on a quest to restore the manticore if they deem it important or they could choose to let the manticore pass and avenge it. Even if they were to fully heal the manticore, the shame of being defeated twice and seemingly being unable to ever defeat the dragon could shatter its pride, maybe even more so if it had to rely on the charity of the party to survive. It seems honorable enough for believing in settling debts with strangers, so you could play up that angle if you really want to have a moment.

I think you are weak minded if you let retards ITT influence and dampen your enthusiasm for creating fun moments for your players. Just because PCs have healing doesn't mean nothing can ever die anymore. It can just happen while they're busy with something else

Do PathFags really deny that it's D&D? It was a fucking reactionary creation utilizing the 3e OGL because buildtards were doing what EA is afraid people will do if a Sims 5 comes out: Throw a shitfit because now their 1000s of dollars worth of DLC is useless in a new system.
Pathfinder exists at all as D&D4e backlash LOL

Anyways, OP, you're mistaking nuD&D with all D&D again. Rangers were good back when the system was made for wilderness adventures and exploration was king.

>>96465110
Something people forget about tracking is that the DM wants to make it as easy as possible for you to find what he wants you to find. If he created a dungeon or encounter for you, he wants you to find it, and rather than risk you not finding it he will probably just have an NPC tell you exactly where it is so you can get there without issue. You could argue that maybe time constraints come into play and traveling through the wilderness for longer because you don't have a ranger has consequences, but at that point you're just perpetually punishing the party for not having a ranger and I don't think anyone will enjoy it.

>>96462693
The comics are responsible for having a hand in this cock-up. It turns out that Toph is not a great teacher (though we already knew that), so instead of teaching metalbenders the long way around like she did by teaching them how to sense metal impurities, she just went around with her meteor metal and recruited people any time she felt someone do something that happened to make it react a little. She found people with natural aptitude this way, then went "just bend it." And they got really confused and didn't get how to do it, until they arbitrarily just eventually did.

So she founds a metalbending academy, where the new generation of metalbenders are just kind of doing it by vibes, rather than by building onto skills that fundamentally help you understand how it actually works.

1. Only matters if you're doing Republic City era, and is a useful way to display time advancing.
2. Is just a different part of the dumb twin spirit thing. Pretend those two episodes don't exist.
3. Realistically necessary for air bending to exist in setting as anything other than a bunch of incest babies.

>Having played this and DungeonWorld immediately after, I'm firmly in the "PBTA is shit" camp.
Dungeon World, as its name suggests, is an incredibly shit implementation of PbtA. PbtA is good at player-driven stories with potential intra-group conflict, not dungeon diving with a party. The problem is that it's relatively simple to make a PbtA hack so they're mostly dross by people who don't understand its basic design.

>if there's no listed roll-failure effect, does nothing happen or are we obligated to make up our own?
Case in point. Never played or looked at the ATLA RPG, but this is a very basic part of the Apocalypse World structure: on a miss, make as hard and direct a move as you like. In AW, there's a list of MC moves:
• Separate them.
• Capture someone.
• Put someone in a spot.
• Trade harm for harm (as established).
• Announce off-screen badness.
• Announce future badness.
• Inflict harm (as established).
• Take away their stuff.
• Make them buy.

>Never played or looked at the ATLA RPG
As someone who has (and isn't that Anon you're responding to), I'll tell you that it does. The GM moves are as follows:
>Inflict fatigue or a condition
>Reveal a hidden truth
>Shift their balance
>Twist loyalties with tempting offers
>Escalate to violence
>Offer a risky or costly opportunity
>Threaten someone
>Shift the odds, suddenly
>Exploit a weakness in their history
>Provide wisdom in unlikely places
>Turn a move back on them
And in addition to this, each different era that you can play in comes with a page that discusses the themes of that time period, and provides additional GM moves that are thematically appropriate to the progress and struggles of those times.

>>96465198
Well, with that setup you do run into physical limitations. The alchemical process from MoM spits out mana in crystal form, and while I imagine you can simply absorb the crystals to fill your mana pool that pool's size doesn't change. Moreover it's one mana point per crystal so you'll quickly hit a limit on how much you can carry. You'd be better off just making or buying Diablo mana potions.

So I've begun replaying Breath of the wild for potential inspiration for the journey. And I'm experiencing the small joy a bit of realizing I can just write whatever that can spring in my imagination with some work. So have a mini scene.

"So how does that look to you?" The rambling voice of the shopkeeper asks.
"Well...it seems fines to me. I'm not really a fashion guru though."
Venti looks in the mirror. Raising a arm out from the new cloak he was considering. He was long overdue for getting new clothes that actually fit him. Most of his old ones were thread bare things now from use with the ends cut to fit him, and Midna had insisted he get new clothes while they were preparing for their journey.
"Is this too nice to wear on the road?" He wonders out loud looking at the clothes he was considering.

"No no! Of course not, I wouldn't be selling it if it was. This isn't some nobles shop dear."
The Seamstress tuts shaking her head. "
It should be just fine but even if it does look nice that's a bonus. You have to look your best if you want to apply for the sect after all." The shopkeeper says from behind the counter.
"What?" Venti asks blinking.
"You're a traveler, right? The tailor asks looking at them oddly.
"The only reason folk pass through our little town most of the time is on the way to try and join the sect, three bless them."

>>96465441
"Oh!" The bard nods as he realizes the assumption. He opened his mouth to correct her but decided against it. It was simpler this way, no need to make a fuss.

"Uh yeah." He nods rolling with it.
"I thought so." The woman nods, grinning.
"Well the clothes suit you well. I'm sure you're make a fine young master if you manage to get in. Make your clan proud. My little Jin tried last year. Poor boy didn't make it far though."
"Oh please don't call me that." Venti mumbles embarrassed as he approaches the counter. Digging into his pockets for his wallet.
"I'm sorry to hear your son wasn't accepted though. Any idea why? And how much for all this?" He asks trying to recall if he met a Jin among the hopefuls last year. He'd been admittedly pretty engrossed with his own training and Renalis then.

"Oh, I don't know why." The shopkeeper sighs "He doesn't like to talk about it. He was pretty upset by it to."
"Hmm..." Venti hums. "Well maybe I'll ask about him if I get up there? Maybe I could help somehow? It's a shame he's upset if it's cultivations not for everyone. How much do I owe you for the clothes?"

"I don't think there's much you can do traveler but sure, but I appreciate the thought. It'll be 500 rupees for all the clothes you've picked out."
Venti winces, that was a pretty penny alright. He could afford it thankfully due to savings but danm..
"Alright..."

Nothing like letting your imagination fly freely.

Not wearing the sect robes, I take it?

I suppose if you’ve only finished the first stage, you would still seem fairly normal.

>every single Indie Clan works better as a bloodline.
NGL I like Setites as merchants/tempters Assmites as hitmen, and Gio/Capps as necromancers since I feel they have a place in the setting. I laugh whenever I read of Set dabbing on Bastet/Osiris/Silent Striders, Ur Shulgi declaring half his clan heretics and saying fuck the Tremere, or Giovanni pissing off yet another necromancy bloodline.


But I have no idea why the fuck Ravnos exist. I can't name a single interesting thing they've done in lore besides getting slaughtered by their Ante. Gangrel should be allowed much better and more thematic rivals besides muh gypsies and pajeets.

>>96465434
Most humans don't become Wraiths when they die.

>>96465498
Why do Setites or Assamites need to be so large to do these things though? I suppose I should clarify, I'm not opposed to them still having Antediluvians. When I say Bloodline I mean in terms of size. Their presence within a city is not guaranteed, even in areas they are more associated with. If you want to use them, you can, but their inclusion should not be expected, nor in particularly large numbers.

There's an author problem where sometimes (and the assamites are by far the worst offender here) because they're technically clans they must be treated as having relevance and power on rough par with the other clans, which is a big problem since it forces specialists into a role too broad for them to handle.

>>96465498
>But I have no idea why the fuck Ravnos exist.
To piss off the cathayans. 99% of the clan are at war with the chink-demon-risen. The ones we see are the loser rejects who deserted or were exiled from the clan proper
