I like the ancient Grotesque models.
>>97317605Got one from years ago at an RPG convention, they're not bad little dudes, for sure.
Thoughts on Scion?
>>97257539Like the concept, have a character idea, don't have anyone to play it with, wish I could incorporate it into WoD like Solar Exalted vs WoD, Make some Get of Fenris woofs piss themselves.
>>97267446Well it depends how you write it. Do the Gods require worship for power or is it all just something they like. If they just exist and do shit it shouldn't be an issue especially if certain holidays and festivals are just pagan ones with a name change and a new coat of paint.
>>97311911Where is Columbia? I mean I get the folk heroes but the Fair Haired Maiden of the West should definitely be there.
>>97320774Columbia is in there. She is the one dressed up as the statue of liberty.
I just do away with the no-masquerade bullshit they got going on in 2e. I think we need some semblance of a masquerade.

>>97321489Uhhhhhhh good guess, yeah I see it too>>97321469Spooktacularhad high hopes for the game but it kinda disappointed in the 'thinky filler' category, only played it 3 times though
Ok tag team shill anon, you won. I still can't say that I think it's a very good game, but it sure is addictive in a pretty subitle way. Like getting a dopamin rush from drafting a team with a certain gameplan in mind and it working really well subtile. I now agree that mordred is "just" pretty good and firstpickable, but not overpowered. In fact I find him pretty boring to play with or against and either ban him or assume my opponent picked him. I think its a bid dumb to complain about imbalance in such a high variance game,but Shango in particular ALWAYS seems like a complete shitshow. Fei-hung and Bödvar aren't much better; bödvar being super high risk and medium reward and fei-hung taking forever to do stuff others do with ease. He might be more playable if he didn't eat the attacks he tries to cripplying touch.Anyway, while I'm still sceptical at how much arbitary placement plays a role in winning, I think there's suprisingly much to explore.

>>97321317Is this just Yan but with more lore?
>>97321333Yan never really gave any implication he hasn't just a normal Distortion produced by his mind completely breaking down. The revelation that the Index was the following the Will of the City for real was fucked up, but Roland even says all that stuff is literally unfalsifiable and impossible to verify right afterward.
>>97316895>>97315156Oh yeah, just got home and can post here again. For those following my chain, finally finished the Fate arc. The end begins at post 218961 in the chain writing thread.

What's a fun way to introduce NTR elements into my Eberron game?
>>97321552Buff Body builder halfling slavers
Give it some philosophical depth - is Warforged a person and a romantic rival or just elaborate sex toy?
>>97321552Traditional games?
I don't know what NTR elements mean.
>>97321565NTR is abbreviation for Not Too Rough, it's those "handholding and headpats are so very lewd" memes, I'm sure you've seen it before.
No memeing or hyperbole: have you ever actually played an actively racist character? What kind of mindset did you have with such a character and how did it influence your general interactions in the game?
>>97318749>Near the end of the campaign, he went through a ritual that turned him into a full-blooded human.holy based
>>97305905Yes. I played a male drow wizard who genuinely liked his culture and society.The premise was that he'd been kicked out for some unspecified fuckup, and genuinely disliked the surface culture and so on. A lot of grumbling about things being "uncivilized" or "it's not as good as the Underdark". I wanted a character that would give as good as he got in any negative NPC interactions.
>>97305905>have you ever actually played an actively racist characterPlayed a paladin in a series of oneshots that hated elves due to being in a war against them.>What kind of mindset did you have with such a characterIt was very casual, like a WWII vet.>how did it influence your general interactions in the gameIt didn't. Some posh noble got offended I called him a knife ear at a fancy party.
Being a racist is totally morally justified, and in fact the right response, when the racism is towards a race that is destroying your own race. I think we virtually almost all agree on this, including progressives, jews, muslims, and the white nationalists.Conclusions are totally different across all these groups, but that's because they're based on totally different premises: "white people are oppressing and enslaving non-whites", "jews are being discriminated against everywhere", "muslims are being genocided", "whites are being eradicated in their home countries".These are compelling premises to a lot of people, and they all morally justify being an actual racist if you take them as truth. Are any of them true? Yeah there's a bit of truth to all of them, but can a narrative actually be "true"?
>>97305905Traditional games?
>player is suddenly turning into a retarded murderhobo who repeatedly ignores the wishes of the entire party after months of acting normal
>>97310767I would simply ask whether this is what the player's character is saying - if it's not being said in character then it can be ignored, and if it's being said in character then you ask what other characters say in response. Tbh it doesn't sound like a big deal.
>>97310497Good. The party isn't a single character. Every player should be able to spend their time doing whatever they want. The players choose whether, when, and how to work together, if they do at all. D&D is shit.
>>97314346A hobo who murders
>>97319632Party split-up sessions are dreadful for everyone involved, so while you're not wrong you're also very easy to ignore.

>>97313886>Shut up bitch and get my a coke>What? You said they like assertive men
>>97313886>roleplays the actual courtship with the playerPicrel, just make him roll and paraphrase the whole interaction. Why would you actively put yourself in these retarded situations?
>>97275236As a Player and GM I usually actually like PCs that does insane, dumb, brash bullshit and I roll with it usually. I've had a few games end in TPKs but in those cases the rest of the players decided to go down with the ship and they were satisfied. The Players I usually really dislike as both a GM and a Player are super passive players that basically do nothing. I know a lot of them that basically do some sort of support role and don't even do anything in combat and do not interact with the world at all and if they were replaced with an NPC no one would notice or care. As a Player it's just kind of boring and often very annoying when I need to interact with them especially in some sort of Online game where they can take several minutes to do anything, and as a GM I'm just kind of bothered by needing to put any mental effort into accommodating someone who barely seems like they want to be at the table and would rather have a smaller group of engaged players than a larger one where half of them aren't doing anything.As a GM though I know some players are either a bit shy, unsure of their role, or feel like other players are hogging the spotlight so I usually try to put them on the spot for things and see if they engage. Usually the actual shy ones will step up to the plate while the NPCs will remain NPCs.

>>97320613>Here is a clarification, the reason for why Deathlords don't use the kill switch more, is because getting the exaltation back is too much of a hassle.T. 1e dev that I forgot the name.
>>97321614If you think not wanting to be a bitch to some powerful NPC is the same as not appreciating any sense of challenge in your game, the sign is really necessary apparently.
>>97321607The Deathlords are only mentors if you stay loyalist, like a cuck. Otherwise they're late campaign villains who can harass you periodically before you're ready to slay them outright.And yeah a weak solar should be networking. Your allies don't need to be outright mentors, but if they're established power brokers they're probably more useful.
>>97321626You're still not approaching the objections honestly, probably because you're a fag. Please refer to the sign.

>>97319796uhh...?
>>97319796But a real muhreen would.
>>97319870You say this, but I actually did spend a few enlistments wearing the monkey suit and there's a wealth of braindead chucklefucks that will gladly leave all of their gear to uselessly walk in a patrol for an exercise until they get notionally killed (while they stand there with their mouths agape) and complain it "wasn't supposed to happen." If it's any consolation, these idiots either get sorted out before an actual deployment or they get phased out of their line unit into some kind of support role way in the rear. The latter are the loudest faggots who brag about being infantrymen, by the way.My point is OP could be for real and he'll fit right in, trust me.
>>97319870>The restaurant example (re: "Are you sure") was also glowing. If a waiter asks you "are you sure" hell fucking no you aren't, and you change your order. They know something you don't know.I actually thought that was a fair point. English is my second language but even in my native one a waiter asking are you sure isn't a red flag. Waiters are often told to push certain items or try to discourage other ones because stocks of something are low.
>>97310607Baby, you have autism
I've always wanted to do a 'girls with guns' kind of game, but I confess a serious problem: Me and my army buddies have a good idea of what happens when someone gets shot, and if everyone has a gun, someone is going to get shot in the face which might ruin the mood somewhat.How do I handle that kind of that, when taking into account - you know - the inherently lethal nature of RPG combat?
>>97321122That's got nothing to do with the reaction to applied violence.
>>97321179In modern civilized society reaction to applied violence should always be the same.Regardless to who the victim is.Regardless to who the perpetrator is.
>>97321217Biology begs to differ. I can understand you're frustrated about the situation, but there's nothing to be done.
>>97321222Civilization is all about overcoming our animal impulses. Just as you should quiet down the part of your brain that commands to eat as much as you can before becoming diabetic lardball you should quiet down the part that nudges you to feel better or worse about violence against particular group of people.
>>97315803Have you teied playing traditional games?
I want to have players more invested in the creation of the world itself, and what embodies it. An old GM I played with would have players name NPC's as they were introduced, so I'm looking for more things like that.

>>97319779Hey, I'll have you known that "DARK GREETINGS!" is the ritual greeting on the Prophets of the Dark Side, a centuries-old cult of Sith-worshipers founded by the great three-eyed Sith Darth Millenial to further the Sith's grand plan of destroying the Jedi.They'll have you know that they're a very serious and menacing cult and you shouldn't be laughing at them.

>>97320013Trioculus wasn't actually Palpatine's son. He was just some random human with a mutation that gave him a third eye who pretended to be Palpatine's son since apparently Palpatine's son having three eyes was common knowledge among the moffs. Though apparently they didn't know that Triclops, Palpatine's real three-eyed son had his third eye in the back of his head and not on his forehead like Trioculus.
