My players recently pissed off a church of Sarenrae and I was thinking of ways they could potentially atone/apologize. By coincidence, the group's Champion who follows Sarenrae was absent that session, so I'm also thinking it could be fun roleplay for him to basically "watch" them and make sure they do the right thing.

How does this sound:

Firstly, the character must solemnly and sincerely verbally apologize to all offended parties (the Church itself, the boy they're protecting under a Sanctuary law, and The Dawnflower)

Secondly, they must relinquish a personal possession to someone in greater need. It can be a weapon, potion, a sufficient amount of coin, so on. Additionally, they are to be dressed modestly in simple white robes when they do so, carrying with them nothing other than what they intend to give away and leaving their other possessions with the church until completion.

Lastly, they must remain stripped of their possessions until the next dawn, as an exercise of humility.

They don't *have* to do it, but the Church will be closed to all but the Champion if they don't, and they'll collect some XP for it.

I've played on a system that relies on opposed rolls, and it was amazing. Key to making that work was that there are different degrees of success, which indirectly is there in Autofire vs dodge scenario already.

For those interested, the setting in question is Praedor and it's been a wonderful engine. The setting itself is bleh, but has cool art.
Just played a 5+ year campaign on a custom scifi mod for the setting. Good times.

Feels like its best to start with the four as he said. The first two games can be represented as factions easily. >>97870443

Siege Tank is in the first post-release wave, at least.

So... might have done a silly cos im too hyped for the game but I ordered 3rd party alt sculpts of the heroes to swap around each game... I got 3 alt kerrigans, 2 alt artanis and 1 alt zeratul coming. Couldn't find a good alt raynor. Found an alt nova but it felt too basic as an alt sculpt and nova doesn't have an actual model yet either.

>If you wanted a more folklore-ish take on Werewolf there's always Forsaken
WtF is diet Apocalypse. You're still primarily defined by being spirit warriors whose way of life is defined by a prehistoric mythology. If someone wanted folklore wolves, avoid WoD.

>>97870600
I'd argue that most of the lore of Forsaken (in 2e at least) instead focuses on who you want to hunt. The Uratha are monsters who explicitly hunt other monsters. The reason they do it is as relevant as you choose to make it in your games. You can have shamans tell the stories of Pangea, the Pure can proselytise. The only thing that matters is that you hunt those monsters. It's the main thing each Lodge focuses on. Hunting other Werewolves, hunting Ridden, Slashers etc.

That's not to say that WtF is a perfect representation of the pop-culture werewolf, but it does absolutely have a solid commitment to focussing on the werewolf as a pack hunter, an alpha-predator that is a heat-seeking missile of fangs and claws that will not stop until it gets its kill.

>>97869453
Call it a Milkling and then display my dominance by pulling out a tax sheet

>>97870600
>>97870620
Pretty much my idea, it's more about the hunt and your biological (I guess?) need to hunt every now and then which is closer to werewolf folklore than being shamanistic spirit warriors. It's still a WoD IP, so yeah there's background lore and you're still kind of a not-druid because Werewolf will still have to be reminiscent of Werewolf (the Apocalypse). If you wanted real folklore werewolves, you probably wouldn't play them as PCs anyway. There's Monster of the Week and Urban Shadows too, but those are more like WoD-lite than folklore, same with Curseborne.

Im currently trying to lay down some foundations for the aesthetics of a city/nation. I already have several different cities in this one book and I want this one naturally to feel different in its own right, but I'm having trouble choosing the right direction to go in. Anyone available for some back and forth?

Background: You endured a traumatic event as your annus was violated in prison: your annus is bleeding out, is destroid completely, you almost die from the blood loss and you have to endure a 24 hour surgery without anesthesia to rebuild your rectum.

Story: Then, about a month after being returned to population, the unthinkable happens, youre cornered by jamal and assraped, you can feel the sutured inside your annus unraveling as your asshole is ripped apart by jammal's BBC, so while he's ass raping you, you have one simple request, to avoid the horrors of trying to rebuild the annus destroyed even further, you ask jammal if he will kill you on the spot

He starts slamming your head against the wall in locomotion with the increasingly fast thrusts as jamal gets closer to climax. You die right as he explodes inside what used to be your anus, and feel yourself ascending into heaven

>>97860671
Decide on the available material for buildings (potentially something nearby), then add some superstitions that warp their buildings into weird shapes (aka ghosts can only walk on straight lines, gods can only enter households via open yards) plus a landscape that defines how the city is structured (rivers, hills, cliffs).

>>97866961
I already have ideas of that sort anon, I mean moreso going indepth and picking and nailing down a direction with everything.
For example for your available material point, the leader of the city is God-figure thats also the religious pinnacle of the citizens. She has pyrokinesis powers and steel tempered by her flames has [[special properties]] and such.
Im just finding it difficult to not go into a sort of "industrial" aesthetic when it comes to a nation so thematically linked to fire, cleansing, etc

>>97862698
How does it handle it?
A problem I have found in a lot of games is that getting someone to 0 hp is the default ends of combat and combat usually does not last enough rounds to justify doing anything else BUT damage. If combat lasts 3 rounds, and maybe 1/3 of your attacks don't connect, its hard to justify another 1/3 of your total actions going towards getting some indivigual target advantage rather than directly furthering your end goal of getting the enemy to 0 hp. (I think if an advantage effects more than just 1 target it can usually be worth it though, like casting light to blind the entire group of goblins)

The two solutions I could see to this is make combat last longer so you arent as strapped for action economy and the results of advantage creation have longer run on effects, or by making combat stunts an axillary action rather than a full action. Things like you deal half damage but you inflict disadvantage to their next attack, or the target number you need to roll is higher, but you get an additional effect. modifying attacks rather than replacing them.

>>97865903

Space marines didnt need 2 wounds because 2 wounds only makes them move durrable to small arms fire, which they didnt need. A unit of guardsman kills like 1 space marine in a round of shooting, that is a fair amount of points. Space marines were too vulnerable to anti tank weapons because 40k has no meaningful way of distinguishing a las cannon from a sniper rifle. AP2 pie plate that ID wouldnt care about an extra wound.

why are none of these based on second edition? I want something that leans into unique mechanics either like second edition cards or like command points ( but better )

>>97870563
I think when it came down to it, making a formatted unit entry requires you to type out exactly how you want the thing to look. So whether or not you are specifying where a bunch of data pulls get placed, or just typing out the words, its kinda a wash in the amount of effort. The one thing I wish I had a data structure for is pretty much just the summary table at the back because I have to type all the weapons again manually. Its a cool idea I just never got around to it. For a homebrew project I also would need a better way of interacting with the database, I was playing around with that too. The real trick would be working out a good way to making lists, like, does the option replace one of your exiting items, can you take only one from the list, are things mutually exclusive. That would be the first step to working it out I think.

>typst vs latex
I have heard of typst but its still in infancy, you just cant do what latex can do. Latex has decades of libraries and problem solving for it for weird niche things. But also I just dont know it, so I use latex. I was well into my now decade long homebrew project by the time typst came out, I have custom classes and templates for latex.

I think they had a means of using a json to feed templates, but the anon who was in charge of the BRB wasnt interested in it.

Actually, where does it even say that demons and such weren't also bound to not cause trouble? Pg. 101 of 2E's Compass: Yu-shan just says that "one of each kind of animal, plant, and being" was brought to the paths to swear on behalf of its kind to not engage in violence in the paths, with Solars and only Solars being mentioned as an exception to this. Are the baths discussed further somewhere else?

>>97870157
>paths
Well fuck. Baths, rather.

>>97870157
>Are the baths discussed further somewhere else?
No, but gathering one of each kind of first circle demon isn't viable, let alone gathering every second or third circle demon. Even if they just need a second circle demon of each Third Circle Demon, or even one from each Yozi, it's still very unlikely. Gathering the kinds of undead they'd need for protection from the underworld isn't possible because the baths were made centuries ago and the Deathlords are active - they can have a ghost and a spectre but if you're going to tell me that Venus went down into the Labyrinth and started picking up hekatonkhire I'm going to tell you Venus is has been replaced by a Deathlord. Put simply, she gathered one of each kind of being she was able to. There is a big difference between that and one of each kind of being. She doesn't have the means.

As an example, how would she have grabbed a Getimian before they were even made, when we roll the baths through into 3e?

>>97870605
>Put simply, she gathered one of each kind of being she was able to. There is a big difference
Well, the kinds of beings she could gather are also the kinds of beings that might feasibly get into the baths, so...if undead and raksha and such weren't included - which they may have, not sure I agree with how difficult it would've been to gather one example of each for someone with Venus' resources - it's hardly a huge problem.

>As an example, how would she have grabbed a Getimian before they were even made, when we roll the baths through into 3e?
Mixing lore from two different editions like that seems kind of pointless to me, to be honest. Sorry if I've just missed it, but I don't remember those baths being mentioned in Yu-Shan's description in Charting Fate's Course.

>>97870639
>Mixing lore from two different editions like that seems kind of pointless to me, to be honest.
There are no mechanics involved, so switching between editions doesn't seem like the kind of thing that should be a problem? I could point at any number of sorcerous outputs if you like. Literally any novel creation of sorcery, artifice, or bio-engineering, and there's a strong case to be made that almost any output of Imbue Amalgam (as one example) would be a novel creation and thus mistletoe to the baths.

>However, even if it did outsell other RPGs at the time it would have been clear to WotC that it was not popular among their most dedicated and vocal consumer base
This is such a cope. Wotc wouldn't have have given a rats' ass if they found more buyers of a different demographic.
The truth is that the cope numbers are for the very early period, the head of D&D was fired every December or so, those retarded videos were a PR disaster, and PF1e did great until they decided that their business models was shovelware instead of a "distillation" of 3e plus adventure paths.

>>97869725
I think you are both right... in a way. PF2e feels less padded and "solves" certain gaming situations differently. PF2e combat math also works from day 1 - they managed to have a threadmill that worked instead of what happened with 4e monsters. They way they link critis to level is quite interesting. PF2e has also a rarity system that should be stolen even by OSR players - but applied differently of course.

However, both games have a "videogamey" feel in their approach to HP, or with 4e minions that break immersion in the same way thugs of a super high level are added to be a threat in an high level PF2e adventure.

3e/PF1e has a special freedom in design space that needs a bit to be properly organized but each choice feels real in-universe in a way games that came after cannot do.

>>97870276
Video games are when you're allowed to use any monster in the manual? Isn't that more freedom, not less?

>>97870365
