Hey, fa/tg/uys
What is some inane woke stuff, you can use in your campaigns? Lately, I have come upon a gem that is Witcher 4 and amazing "Rats". They are a group of thieves that "steal from the rich and give to the poor". I intend to use that in my campaign.
A group of NPCs is doing exactly that:
- local baker gets robbed twice, gets out of bussiness
- local moneylender too - all loans to nearby farms stop
- local barrons coffer of wealth has been stolen: he is now unable to pay the guards, who are abandoning their posts and turning mercenaries and even bandits. Crime rises

PCs will get a chance to find these NPCs, who are deeply convinced, they are "bringing down the system".

So: What other similar bs can be applied to campaigns under "actions have consequences" chapter?

Look at all this amerifat projecting

>Tactics and strategy are the tools of the civilized villains.

Conan does plenty of tactical thinking in the Hour of the Dragon, basically tricking the enemy.

>Inversely the freedom of barbarianism is a positive thing

The free-as-fuck Picts are depicted as... not exactly positive, are they? Corrupt with evil sorcery big time as well. Big C. himself says the cimmerians fight between themselves any time and are pretty dumb for this.

Also there are examples of enligthened and smart civilized rulers, at least Yasmina seem to be on the way to be a decent one.

I'll add as well that unironically my fav female character in the stories is the unnamed old woman in Beyond the Black River.

It's kind of a wild west of platforms, but it's so diamond in the rough. Literally, it's probably a case study for why SEO is important.

Why would anyone use ludicrously sized swords if not going for an anime/jrpg feel? I mean, I can't think of any in western fantasy. The most is perhaps Warcraft's war hammers, but I bet it's more of a case of not doing math than wanting REALLY big weapons.

I just don't think it's as fun with the current rhythm of the game and trying to beef them up further would likely erode that more (I'd probably play it nonetheless). The retrains would be kind of broken if transported back in time, but they still all feel too little too late. Magician of Black Magic is one of my favorite DM designs though, I'll give them that. It's all still neat.

I have encountered GMs who relied on copying and pasting AI-generated text before: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/96077242/#96077242

I have been seeing this more and more. For example, I joined this one Daggerheart game. The GM has been flip-flopping between simplistic sentences and LLM-generated text.

Examples:
>This game takes place in the world of Dispatch—a living, breathing city where danger erupts without warning and heroes are the thin line holding everything together. I’ll be your DM, but in this world, you’ll know me as your Dispatcher. I’m the voice in your ear, the one who tracks the chaos, the one who sends you and other heroes into the field when Manhattan needs you most.

>Your missions will range from capturing dangerous villains to rescuing civilians, stopping escalating threats, uncovering hidden plots, or confronting unknown anomalies. Dispatch calls don’t wait. They hit fast, loud, and unpredictable. When that call goes out, you suit up, step forward, and answer it.

>Using Daggerheart’s Duality system—Hope and Fear—we’re shaping a flexible, evolving ruleset that grows with both the world and your characters. Every mission will test your skills. Every choice will shape the city around you. And as the story unfolds, we’ll refine and expand the system together, adapting it to the heroes you become.

>This is a world where your decisions matter, where Hope fuels your rise, where Fear pushes back, and where every Dispatch shapes the next chapter. You’re not just playing a character. You’re becoming a symbol.

And this:
>► Duality Blessings (Doubles)

Following up on a question from the previous thread, what's your preferred method of leveling up and improving your mechs and characters?

As a relatively new Lancer GM, the level up system is interesting but pretty obviously limited. You can always give players extra long missions to challenge them and limit their progression, but after a while, it gets a bit formulaic where they just get a level after every set of missions.
I saw in one of the splatbooks that there's a system to use money instead to buy licenses/gear and skill points, that seems interesting but I imagine a lot of people would just power through to an optimal build first and mostly ignore character growth itself.
Are there any mech RPGs out there that make you spend money on ammo like the AC games? Something like that would make for a dynamic where you could keep some cheaper and lower tech options around for dealing with problems more efficiently to make more money for upgrades. It would probably make book keeping a pain in the ass though.
