I'm running a battle soon - main opponent is a beserker werewolf. I like to use music as background, but most of battle ambient is:- swords clanging- too epic- annoying vocalsI found this, but maybe fa/tg/uys can recommend something less digital-y and similarly visceral?Thankshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QHRuTYtSbJQ&list=RDQHRuTYtSbJQ&start_radio=1&pp=ygUTS2lsbGVyIEluc3RpbmN0IG9zdKAHAdIHCQk6CgGHKiGM7w%3D%3D

Not bad, yet berserker will be killing in this encounter. Only BFG seems to have that combat "oomph" (but too digital for berserker). Other stuff is too lethargic. Love the Heilung tho. Am storing it for other occasion.

Go around claiming that Elves are not real people: They are fey spirits who steal human infants and replace them, or they are reflections in mirrors that stepped out. They have no souls, which is why they don't sleep (trance). You cannot trust an Elf. They simulate emotion but do not feel it. If you kill an Elf, their body turns to leaves or mist.

>>97193963Because pets get neutered.Alternatively (if thats too dark) it's because thats not how Fae reproduce. The Gentry will themselves into existance out of the Wyrd, then bargain for Titles to be something. Hobgoblins are made from dreamstuff, slivers of souls drifting the Hedge or the stuff that passes as matter within the Hedge/Arcadia. On some level the Fae might know what pregnancy is, but for them it's not needed, beyond as a performance for Drama.Changelings are still half human (or so they cope) and can neither reproduce as humans do, nor as Fae do.Personaly my headcanon is that Changelings are the larvae state of True Fae, the vestigal human souls remains acting as a sort-of cocoon and limiter on their power. So changelings can either mature to become Gentry and reproduce as Gentry do, use their magic like Contracts or Hedgespinning to make Hobgoblin children / use that one goblin contract from Goblin Markets (somethingsomething midwife) to make cursed mortal children.Coincidentaly i made a mini template for the children of changelings because it annoyed me as well.
>>97192668You realize that anarchs are formally part of the Camarilla, right? The anarchs of today are those that stem from the Convention of Thorns; the original anarchs that refused peaceful accords is literally the Sabbat.Blocking the anarchs from entry to Elysium would violate hospitality and the spirit of the convention. Only the Sabbat could reasonably - maybe - be denied the right to Elysium, and even that is only because they traditionally do not recognize its validity themselves. But even so, even the Sabbat is usually covered by it on the basis that if they were not, any kind of peaceful discourse would be literally impossible - they're really just (usually) watched closer than anyone else, and them showing up would likely ruffle feathers and result in a disc scratch sound effect.
Thinking bad thoughts about the Serverblight TF" Horror thing and SAVIOR (The Player who it's stringing along to play into his religious fanaticism) would work great as a Widderslainte Infernalist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6IDjFhCLaKAGranted the Blight is probably analogous to a Nexus Crawler and so it would likely lose in a fistfight with Mage, but otherwise...

GW kept mentioning space marines or even primarchs coupling with regular human women and it always took me out of it. Like how the fuck? Wouldn't she get ripped in half? But then it dawned on me. They just have tiny penises. Well not by human standards, but relative to body-size. Like think about it, why would you supersize the dick too when there literally do not exist women big enough to handle that size? So the simplest explanation is they just keep the penis size of a regular human.
>>97172457You guys sure are concerned about the wrong thing...
>>97172457Growth hormone really works its magic on complex bone structures, which is why skulls, hands, and feet really grow when you abuse it. They absolutely would have human sized penises, if not even smaller from never experiencing the sexual component of puberty. 6'7" roid freaks (Jes proportions and bigger than that just gets stupid) with literal baby dicks.

In Modern Geopolitics, did your jumper ever use their position in a foreign policy think-tank to redraw the map of a conflict zone to get a payout in a gambling app?

Hrm. How would fa/tg/uys handle a PC that the player wants to play as a former war criminal? So according to my player his character did a lot of heinous shit during the war that ended about 10 years ago, but is now haunted by these terrible memories.The player is asking me for game mechanics to apply to this and I'm a little stumped. Some advice from you guys would be most welcome. On my own bat I figured since this is a fantasy world getting actually attacked by the ghosts of his victims would be appropriate, but I do I really want to give him the opportunity to kill them twice?

>>97191337>>97191278>>97189966What a story, mark
>>97189959why does he even need game mechanics for this? can't he just roleplay it himself?
>>97189959>PC war criminalsGet on my level, I had PLAYER war criminals in my games. Those were also the ones who showed regret for their actions and hated the medals they've got for it. They usually started to tearfully share the details in the middle of 3rd bottle of vodka.I also met several more unrepentant war criminals, some of them even drunkenly bragged about their deeds. I remember one army captain who laughed that "children are still blowing up on my mines!".The worst one of them I've ever met was infamous Milchakov, though admittedly it was long before his atrocities, when he was just a teenaged fellow skinhead back in mid-late 00s. He was already a murderous psychopath, though.
>>97191210That's retarded and so are you.

>>97194050Thank you
>>97133885>What is it about?Dungeons and also some dragons >Why is it interesting?It's O.G>Should I care about it?Honestly, if you want to get into an old school setting you should go with Mystara. Whole planet + hollow earth with great maps that is still supported by fans to this day. File sizes too large to post here but check Atlas of Mystara. Old settings like these were just a jumping off point for the DM. Do not try to keep them 100% lore accurate. Get the maps and the general feel then change whatever you want.
>>97188099https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Valley_(California)Valleys can get pretty big.
>>97188051>>97188043I like the idea that the Keep is actually the same one as the one in Mystara, a la the Hodgson story.
>>97183937I'm with you on most of that but inherently evil orcs don't make sense. Either they're humanoids, and thus have free will. Or they aren't.
What makes a setting don't feel generic a.k.a. not DnD?
>>97195236Creationism vs darwinism, or some such?
>>97195243Yeah, but also competing myths some positive others negative, others that can be viewed as both. Perhaps this race was punished for attempting to steal fire from the gods, so it is seen both as a punishment but some as a celebration for liberation against the tyranny of the gods. Meanwhile another myth about their predecessors climbed the World Tree and spoke with their god, learning the name of the spirts, and descended blessed as the first shamans. While other races saw them with envy.
>>97191396That's safehorny in current year
>>97191156Traditional games?
Before the Flood, the Apkallu, seven sages sent by the god Enki—taught humanity civilization: writing, law, architecture, magic. One sage, Adapa, grew proud and refused to accept mortality. He bargained with the gods for immortality but was granted only the mark of immortality: eternal bloodline, but not eternal life. His descendants bear horns like the bull-gods, eyes like the star-gods, and tails like the serpent of wisdom. Loki the Trickster fathered monstrous children with the giantess Angrboda. The gods feared them and bound them, wolf beneath the earth, serpent in the sea, death-goddess in the underworld. But Loki also lay with human women, and THOSE children could pass as human... almost. The horns (like Hel's crown), the tail (like Jörmungandr), the eyes (like Fenrir's gaze). They are chaos-marked, neither fully bound nor fully free.Long ago, humans and Asuras (titans who oppose the Devas/gods) made a pact. The Asuras would grant humans power to resist divine tyranny; humans would provide the Asuras with worship and descendants. The children of this pact bear the marks of both realms, horns like the demon-kings, eyes like the hungry ghosts, skin touched by the hells. They are caught in eternal war between gods and titans.The Branded descend from Cain, the first murderer, who slew his brother and was marked by God. He founded the first city in defiance of divine will, and his children learned forbidden arts. The mark breeds true through generations, horns for pride, tail for serpent's wisdom, eyes that reflect hellfire. They can be redeemed through suffering and faith, but their blood inclines them toward fratricide and rebellionBefore the Tuatha Dé Danann brought order, the Fomorians ruled beings of sea, storm, and chaos. When the gods defeated them, some Fomorians fled to human settlements and interbred. Their descendants carry the marks: twisted horns, eyes that see through glamour. They are the OLD blood, from before civilization, before law.

Elves are not real people. They are fey spirits who steal human infants and replace them, or they are reflections in mirrors that stepped out. They have no souls, which is why they don't sleep (trance).You cannot trust an Elf. They simulate emotion but do not feel it. If you kill an Elf, their body turns to leaves or mist.

Are there any mech games where the mechs are a sideshow to other vehicles? I like the idea of blowing up mechs with superior conventional vehicles but basically every mech setting ever made exists to justify the opposite of that happening.
>>97194694>fictional hoverI mean Battletech has a lot of air-cushion Hover Craft, the infamous Savannah Master is such a craft using one of the smallest Fusion Engines every created.
>>97181927That's how it works in Infinity. The mechs are used in firefight kinds of situations but they fold to tanks. Since Infinity is small-scale it works pretty well. Also, the mechs aren't that big - like 18 feet tall at most I think (not counting the uberdron).
>>97181850>Are there any mech games where the mechs suck and tanks ruleHmmm, wonder what kind of treadhead made this thread

>>97193912>Is it fun to come up with a custom build that gets immediately killed by a basic mech with gun?You're not fighting the *military* for 99% of the game unless your player group is really fucking stupid. Mechs can take hits from monsters and other non-military mechs just fine. In fact pilots get on kerfuffles with each other both for sport and to compete for jobs all the time. There's no reason to fight the military.>I don't know what [...] laws that restrict them from being stronger than military mechs. If someone has that much renown, they have connections.I think you missed most of my posts but basically, no, the military is not unbeatable, but they are reasonably strong enough that most hunters won't bother fighting them. Because. There's no reason to fight them. If the government gets uppity about you and you don't want to kill a billion soldiers, just hide. Go anywhere else like every other pirate or rogue pilot that doesn't want to deal with the government. Most of the world is desolate and inhabited; You can just ignore the government and they'll stop giving a shit eventually. If you're really, really, dumb, you COULD go for a scrap run on a military base but you'd be asking for so much trouble for not enough wife-changing money.Yes I don't like how Lancer does worldbuilding too but I didn't do anything like that. One guy being able to take on the entire military, and the military being a massive boot that can crush everyone under are both things that don't happen because it would be a waste of time, resources, money and life for both sides if they tried. Rogue pilots have a LOT more money to make from annoying corporations.>>97193577>>97193585The "using parts from monsters" thing doesn't happen that often but it's a plot point in my campaign. One of the corporations is trying to develop a system that uses a monster's body and frame to make beefed up mechs and it's fucking things around, and one of the player's character is involved.
>>97193730GURPS had an article on it in one of the Pyramid issues.
>>97193813>that can strip away what is making each mech different to begin withIf you're letting people build freely, you might as well differentiate the frame by position and size of upgrade slots, hardpoints for hanging shit off them, etc. Toss in a couple of weird ones where they have a unique feature the frame is built around and can't be added as an upgrade.
