>>97831153Of what blood are you?
>>97831591>>97827132"Nothing good" my sire says:-Werewolves are holed up in the north end.-There are some Anarchs in St. Vital who oppose the Sabbat so they've been killing each-other on the south end of the city. The Baron goes by "Trelaine" and I think he's a Toreador.-Camarilla from Alberta are trying to move in downtown but they've lost a lot of people to the Sabbat and the werewolves. Some Ventrue leading them, sire didn't catch her name.-Sabbat almost everywhere else, no idea who leads them. Now that they're fighting a two-front war the sabbat needs more recruits who aren't shovelheads and they've apparently tried to recruit my sire (and by extension me) through familial clan ties. My sire has no interest in anything other than their own metamorphosis and vicissitude research however. I think their command center has moved to St. Boniface from downtown, since they got pushed out by the Cammies.
>>97832363Honestly I don't know much about Asian fashion. My family has lived in Ontario for decades. Still does. I made the mistake of checking.Egh, rambling- Like the Kimono more I think for casual wear and stuff.>>97832658That kind of complicates things.

>>97832771If that's a prophecy like I assume it is I'd say the werewolves (earth with teeth?) are going to eat the sabbat (sword-bearers?)?
>>97832813DO NOTDo not don't try to place it first Okay. First rule of this stuff is to never internalize it outside of cursory stuff because that is asking to be trapped in it at worse.It's not prophecy but it's something ajdacent. Like- Dejavu. Except too much all at once. With excess sensory information hanging on it. I used to be basically crippled by this stuff and the only reason I'm functional is I got a nice voice in my head that balances out all the fucking garbage and hallucinations.Something will eat something else. But we can't- shouldn't try to get too much in terms of details.
I never realized how many players suffer from aphantasia and insist on using miniatures. Are you one of them, or do you embrace the unmatchable graphics of theater of the mind?
>>97832445Problem with your theory, dumbass. I don't have aphantasia. I can picture everything fine. The problem is that when you boil it down, all of you are playing in featureless rooms with furniture and corners that you spawn and despawn at will.Either I missed the meeting where we all agreed that tabletop games are the world's shittest mental gmod server of you're all cheating.
>>97832397>Lot of assuming about motives.What did you expect from bringing it up explicitly as part of a highly emotionally charged railing against theater-of-the-mind with no alternative purpose offered? That the response would be accurate mind-reading of it being in a previously entirely unmentioned context?>But your visceral reaction to the idea that someone would actually keep track of what you're doing shows me what I need to know.No, my first post in this thread was >>97832187 in which I specifically mention the inability to maintain relative positions. The underlying point still stands, because you cited it as how you know. That statement entails that you didn't know before to full confidence, and by extension that you did not have enough confidence in your own mental model of the game-state for their divergence from it alone to result in calling out the inaccuracy.>>97832454How many tasks depend strongly on the ability to internally synthesize novel visual states? Even in outright artwork there's successful people with aphantasia, so I've some doubts about this qualifying for "retardation".
>>97832572>with no alternative purpose offered?I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith.That or you're a moron.So in either case, I'll spell it out for you. The answer is a representational diagram. If you're playing Dungeons and Dragons specifically, this really should be a grid of 1 inch squares, since that's what the rules are based around. For other tabletop games where movement isn't as rigid and things are a bit more vague, I simple diagram consisting of a few stand in objects works, so long as everyone agrees what each object is representative of.A couple of dice that aren't being rolled and a sheet of paper for terrain makes for a quick and easy way to make sure everyone is on the same page regarding things like relative position and what the area looks like.But please, keep crashing out about it. You're really helping the argument that you're all seriously interested in the theater of the mind and aren't just cheating.
>>97832601>I mean, the alternative is implicit but because you're a cheater who's upset at getting caught out, you're acting in bad faith....The alternative PURPOSE of WHY YOU WERE TAKING NOTES, not alternative to theater of the mind. If your reading comprehension is this bad, I can only assume you to be massively inflating your own spatial reasoning competence out of a horrendous case of the Dunning-Kreuger Effect.
>>97832610Look at you, trying to weasel your way around.Can't even have a human conversation without trying to cheat, it's adorable.

>>97829802or is there some rules for this somewhere akin to flying where you can make only limited turns afterwards?
>>97829812The mounted combat rules in 3.5 are a bit of a joke because horses don't fit in a dungeon. To my understanding you can absolute zigzag back and forth with a charge every round. Don't forget the horse gets to make an attack as well.
How can anyone still play this dogshit system when PF2e is better in literally every way?The sooner people stop being so hung up about 3e being the peak of d&d the better. They will cling to that rotten sandwich of a system and put down anything that dares to do things different.
I steal a lot of ideas and plot points from TV shows and books. My players are normalfags that don't consume anything that isn't current and popular, so they don't know how much I steal. The few times they actually caught on, they were fine with it.I'm just worried I am creating a bad habit. I have tons of original ideas as well, but I'm very demotivated, since a lot of adventures fell through for one reason or another and I had to come up with brand new concepts every time, so I have been stealing a lot more recently.
>>97818465Anon, I know you're illiterate, but re-read the title of the thread. Just because this isn't some pointless argument about the definition of Railroading or rules autism doesn't mean it isn't related to Traditional Games. They explicitly discuss the topic in relation to their own games in the first post.Even if we do discuss mechanics, they've all been done before. There is no such thing as an original mechanic. Everything, in some form, has been done before.
>>97817067Originality is a spook
>>97818465OP is LITERALLY talking about advice for his CAMPAIGNS as he is a GM who has to make shit on the spot for his PLAYERS, I am going to make more threads about FANTASY NOVELS just for YOU
>>97817067Yes
I don't have a creative bone in my body. Everything is a patchwork of other peoples' ideas. Hasn't let me down yet.
Recently I found some Humanity Fuck Yeah YouTube videos that use AI voice narration on my feed. After using them as background noise while cleaning my apartment I found that that most of them are more or less the same. Humans are the only ones who know how to fight/love sex/survive/etc. How can we save the genre or reinvent it so it isn't so stale?

>>97831157narcissism is good btw
>>97821566It's a sign of the disease of the soul that possesses the modern day that media became so disgustingly anti-human that it spawned a counterslop revolution of similarly wretched pro-humanity. The entire dialectic must change before we can be trusted to produce aspirational content again.

Not only is Yelmalio proven to get his ass beaten constantly in his own stinkin myths, he is portrayed as a proven enemy of the Storm Tribe afterwards. Why the hell would Sartarites bear to have them in their midst as potential destabilizing elements when his worshippers sell themselves to the highest bidder when the Occupation begins ?GLORANTHA Thread
>>97832773Still dont get why Jeff has such a hate boner for Elmal. Let people enjoy their cult of the loyal thane rather than Yelmalio if they choose so.

kill yourself
>>97830265>he's fucking silverLMAO
>anything to just insult peopleyeah how come i aren't mythic in just 5 games?fucking kill yourself you absolute fucking waste of air
>>97831004Get his ass
>>97831004Git gud.
Who are the major antagonists of your setting/campaign? I’m talking BBEG types, to put it simply, and their immediate subordinates. What goes into a villain that is narratively compelling?
>>97821235nahif they want to do that, then its fair the npcs do it back
>>97821235no, players really do that shit because of irony>ask henchman of bbeg a question>henchman answers>barely gets 3 words out before a player kills him because interruption is cool xD>they now dont know the answer to a question set up by bbeg's security to reach him>get mad
>>97820789There’s two ways to handle this situation:1) create situations where the BBEG can either monologue, or just have a talk with the PCs without being in the same area as the PCs. Now the “I attack the guy mid-sentence” choice isn’t even on the table.Or2) make their next BBEG even more annoying and cringey than the PCs. and I do mean take all the players annoying behavior and crank it up to 11 for this guy.Now this is not a substitute for fucking talking to your players and communicating with them about how some of their antics are making the game not fun to run. But something like this can be used to underline the point by showing them how it looks from the other side.
>>97821214>trashWhat would 'you' do intead then?
The major antagonist is the party's patron/boss, so they're the immediate subordinates. They haven't figured out that they are working for the person who basically rules the world through agents like them and keeps it stagnant for her own personal safety.

>>97831184One of the D&D 3.5 jumps can get you there, adding an Alignment subtype is a thing that can be done with a ritual, but an easier path would be Tome of Radiance. Reaching level 20 in one of the three base classes gives you the Good subtype.
>>97831215>but an easier path would be Tome of Radiance. Reaching level 20 in one of the three base classes gives you the Good subtype.A surprising number of ideas and issues in Jumpchain can be resolved by becoming a magical girl it seems.Kyuubi must be ecstatic.
>>97827469>As a Half Celestial, evil is Eww Gross.I never thought about it but wow, you are right.>Maybe you should slip Tome of Radiance into your chain.When I was writing it I kind of thought I was creating this.>>97831138>Good to see that growth and coming into your own a bit.Learning can be painful, thankfully my jumper has Eyes of Lies from Sekirei which helps too.> Very fluffy. I approve.Fluff is justice!>Interesting time you've had here Riaanon. You had to fight some of the worlds bigger forces and stood you're ground.

>>97831449>I never thought about it but wow, you are right.And while people with the Good subtype can fall, it takes constant, deliberate effort. Since you wouldn’t want to do such a thing (you chose to become Half Celestial after all), you can now be said to be truly incorruptible.
>>97832246Huh, you know I mainly took the template because I wanted to be able to rez people as a bard. I am sure there is some other way to do it but this was how I knew how to do it. I didn't actually consider much the effect it would have on my jumper. My jumper isn't a murder hobo so I am not sure it would change a ton but it is certainly something to think about.

>>97831037no it's not, it harms his feelings
>>97831037You have to commission your creativity? You can't write your own adventure?
>>97818057Nah. A.I. is a tool. Wouldn't ban photoshop because the person didn't draw. But I will put my foot down for bad A.I. usage.> Wonky inconsistent stats.> Cursed art.> Contradictory descriptions.But pic-related? 0 problem.

Ever been called out for your shitty worldbuilding?
>>97791970This but set to flamenco music.
>>97831321>Or how someone being mutilated to a horrific monster is going being a body horror thing that wants put out of its misery too much for people into TF to fantasize have happening to them.As a TF fag this has never been a problem for me. Not into the body horror stuff fetishistically but they can coexist and even complement each other perfectly, Made in Abyss is a great example. In fact a lot of great manga are just transparently based on the author's fetish.Not being able to write "your fetish but bad sometimes" is just being a shit writer, doesn't mean fetish-based writing is bad.
>>97831850Yeah it's like the mystery flesh pit or such where no one's going to expect you to find it hot it killed 200 people or get mad if you wish it got purged with nukes, at most question if that'd even make sense to do.
No, but I should have been.
>>97831850>Made in AbyssAh, a pedofur!
Would your human male fighter ever consider getting themselves a nice trad peasant wife and settling down in the countryside?
>>97817852No, he wants to be upwardly mobile.
>>97831467Social climber eh?
