Welcome to /wbg/, the official 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 (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). 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!Last thread: >>96080428Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed)https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generatorDiscord: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TThread questions:>Do you refer to "generic" materials like pic related, trope lists, etc, to derive inspiration, either by borrowing or intentionally eschewing them?

A worry I always have when making a name in a foreign language, is if the name sounds bizarre or inauthentic to a native speaker. I always think of how in anime, when they make an American character they come up with ridiculous names like Millions Rockefeller, Gretchen McLily, or Chadethon Throckwell. Is there a resource I can use to avoid this?
Map I've been working, doing a little city world building project
>>96494049This is a completely baseless guess, but they could be used against any enemy boarding parties, and are just kept pointing upwards/away from the ship when not in use just for safety purposes
>>96500267Honestly depends on the group. Do they know the language/culture, and if so to what degree? If not, who cares. To me (not murrikan) something like Karl Dandleton feels wrong but if I'm playing a zombie apocalypse I wouldn't probably register that. That being said in this day and age is probably mostly effortless if you're not doing a bunch of names for a new guinean tribe to find actual names online.If not something like https://blog.reedsy.com/character-name-generator/language/japanese/ seems decent to me.

>>96497433It's a popular game to recast for, especially with the resins being very limited run so you can't buy legit copies even if you want to. I've been happy with my Taobao recasts.

>>96500275yeah that concept art obscuring most of the black armor with the red cloak with those gold parts make him look more mysterious and threatening.
>>96500070plot reasons, they need the thick armor in order to actually use the red cloaks. If they touch the skin bad things happen.

As part of my eternal quest to find something to watch while painting I saw Walker (1987) yesterday.I would highly recommend it, especially when viewed as a man grappling with Deep Drunkenness. The way reality seems to bend around Walker while also fraying subtly and not so subtly really fits that Agarthan feel.>Unless man believes there's something great to do, he can do nothing great. A great idea springs up in his soul, agitates his entire being, transports him from the present and lets him feel the future.

Projection and Manifestation:The playing of a card is broken up into two steps on the Thread (stack/chain). A Projected card is not a Manifest card.Unlike MTG, effects are tied to cards on the Thread (stack). The card resolves independently of its effects.1.) A card is first "Projected" onto the board and Thread. It has not yet resolved on the Thread. It cannot be Invoked or conduct combat. Nor can it be targeted by cards that specifically target only Manifest cards. In MTG terms, it has not yet entered the battlefield.2.) Once a Projected card resolves on the Thread (its Projection is uncontested), then it becomes Manifest. Once it becomes Manifest, it is fully functional: it can be Invoked (use its effects) and conduct combat (Directly Influence). Invoking or conducting combat with it means that you add those actions to the Thread independently of the card, similar to MTG activated abilities.The Projection of a card is not an effect, but it is an item on the Thread. Therefore Quick (lighting bolt) effects do not preclude it.The Projection of a card can be used along with Frenning (see Frenning) to fizzle card effects by removing their target.You can Project a card onto another card of the same Type to implicitly Fren them together. The resulting card has Austism (summoning sickness). This action has a wide variety of applications.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Frenning:Frenning is a very important mechanic in Frenopolis. It is the fundamental mechanic behind the combining of cards into a single new card. Sort of like YGO fusion. Frenned cards have the combined stats and effects of its constituents. Frenned cards, unlike cards not produced through Frenning, have Austism (summoning sickness).It is used:Implicitly - You can Fren 2 cards together by playing a card onto a card of identical type, for example an Entity onto an Entity.Via Effect - There are card effects which Fren (combine) cards together. These are not limited to identical typing, the typing is explicitly stated on the effect text, for example "Fren an Entity to a Structure".Via a Fren - Frens are a card type that can only be played by combining any cards you already control together into a single new composite card. Fren cards have the combined stats and effects of all the constituent cards. They basically build cards vertically. You can use any types of cards for the Projection of a Fren.Frens come in 4 colors, which correspond to the 4 basic types/zones: Entities, Memes, Structures, and Energies. For example, a Red Fren would combine any cards you control into an Entity.In addition to creating powerful cards, Frenning can be used to fizzle effects by removing the target of the effect. For example, if a player uses an effect which removes your Entity, and you respond by Frenning it into a Meme, the effect resolves without a valid target.Comment too long.

The Core Operations:All card effects are composed of the following basic terms. Most of these terms have correspondences to MTG and YGO mechanics. There are no keyword abilities.These operations can be understood by referring back to these posts about the relationship between Frenopolis and Chess:>>96450656>>96450886The card effects are movements/interactions between the types/zones which correspond to the elements which comprise a section of the color pie. Archive - Move a card to the Archive."Move a card to Earth/Yellow"Banish - Move a card to the Void (Exile)."Move a card to Air/Grey"Conceal - Move a card face up to the bottom of a Soul (Deck).Comment too long.

Transmuting:Transmuting is a very simple but very strategically important operation. To Transmute a card, you simply move it a new type-zone.For example to Transmute a Structure into an Entity, you just move the Structure to the Entity Zone.1.) Transmuting allows you to move cards in and out of range of the player's effects. For example if the other player has effects which are powerful against Structures, if you Transmute your Structure into an Entity, it's no longer vulnerable.This works in the reverse direction as well. If you have effects which are powerful against Structures, but the other player only has Entities, you can Transmute their Entities into Structures so you can affect them.2.) In terms of the Thread, a Transmutation occurs by Projecting a card Type as a new Type. This means that the card:-Must resolve again on the Thread-Becomes a new cardThis means that its stats and any per-turn limitations are also reset, because it is a new card. This allows you to "heal" cards by resetting their stat, and also gain additional effect output.Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Let us talk about the aspect of game that most, if not all, table top games will have to deal with at some point, the dungeon.How do you go about handling these sorts of things? Do you try to emphasize a particular skill or mechanic as the driving theme? Do you try to have some kind of puzzle element to hinder advancment aside from just combat? How important is the Z axis if at all?
>>964969353 encounters,, a trap, a puzzle, main loot, and a lesser hidden loot they might fight and might not is my go to for my beer and pretzels game. Not always, of course, but if I need a quick session in prep, it is ol' faithful.
>>96496935>How do you go about handling these sorts of things? Question too broad, try again later>Do you try to emphasize a particular skill or mechanic as the driving theme? Yes? I mean, depends on the game and the dungeon.>Do you try to have some kind of puzzle element to hinder advancment aside from just combat? Obviously. Combat is the most boring part of all systems, so it makes sense to make it a failure state.>How important is the Z axis if at all?I've come to the conclusion that detailed overall gridmaps are a hindrance and moved to pointcrawl mapping for dungeons. One of the many advantages is that it's so much easier to use verticality when you're looking at fragmentary maps linked in a diagram.

/tg/, I'm designing a campaign for my group.The campaign consists from three acts. As a whole, they cover levels from 1 to 20.What happens in the first act is immaterial for this thread.In the very beginning of the second act, however, they will meet the big villain of the campaign, who decides that they're going to be a threat to his master plan and immediately kills them all right at the end of a gruelling dungeon. The player characters then go to Valhalla, meet not!Odin and then return to life with a divine quest. Half of the second act will involve fulfilling this quest to pay not!Odin back for their resurrection. The other half involves revenge against the villain.Now, obviously if they just reveal themselves, they'd just be killed again. So they'll be gently suggested to assume false identities and infiltrate the villain's massive army of mercenaries in order to foil his plan from the inside. By the end of the act, the villain's army will be gone, his personal power extinguished, and then he'll die as the final boss of the act.That's the idea. However, I keep thinking about how it'll actually go. I have 7-9 dungeons in mind for the second act. That is a lot of sessions spent under secret identities, while everyone believes that they're dead. While the undercover arc could potentially be interesting, I'm also seeing the potential for it to be very exhausting to actually go through.Should I just pre-emptively cut the "undercover" part to just 1 or 2 dungeons? It's going to be pretty difficult to change them on the fly, if I see that this story is not working.
