Welcome to /wbg/, the official thread for the discussion of in-progress settings for traditional games.Here is where you go to present and develop the details of your worlds such as lore, factions, magic and ecosystems. You can also post maps for your settings, as well as any relevant art (either created by you or used as inspiration for your work). Please remember that dialogue is what keeps the thread alive, so don't be afraid of giving someone feedback or post whatever relevant input you might have!Last thread: >>97165346Resources for Newfags: https://sites.google.com/view/wbgeneral/Worldbuilding links: https://pastebin.com/JNnj79S5 (embed) (embed)https://cryptpad.fr/pad/#/2/pad/view/Eo+fK41FKVR7xDpbNO0a0N4k0YYxrmyrhX3VxnM14Ew/Fantasy map generator: https://watabou.itch.io/medieval-fantasy-city-generator/wbi/: https://discord.gg/6ZjEc7dy4TWorldbuilding Hub: https://discord.com/invite/wGjxK3YThe Writer's Forge: https://discord.com/invite/CUxHxWqTira: https://discord.com/invite/f52W6KgComment too long.

>>97394601You could use the Avatar method of plugin their neuronal tails together.
>>97394601first thing that comes to mind is just connecting/rewiring neural pathways in the machine's brain/neural clusterit's also possible to encode information into DNA (already being done IRL with significantly greater density than conventional electronic storage, albeit currently slower, more expensive, and less reliable), but as far as I understand, we don't know exactly how instinctive behaviors are formed/transmitted, and there's no conclusive proof of DNA being the vector
Is there any way a government could make stronger family bonds among the public, presuming they have enough knowledge and money?The purpose is to make people prize their family more so that said family can be held hostage for their good behaviour.

>>97394012Well yeah, game has been around for 10+ years, of course the power creep is insane. Even back in the Little Red days, the game was unbalanced. You had Grimm who could cheat stuff turn 2, Abdul that could prevent you from playing and Bahamut who could OTK you.

>>97392345That's a lot of weight on his shoulders. Does he keep creating new princess'? Or does he get ideas/concepts from others, and he draws them?What makes a V change over to the next number, once you reach a certain amount of characters? I suppose the original artists behind the project left due to reasons?
>>97392372He mostly draws princesses made by the community. I'm not sure if he ever made one purely by himself.So V3 has 5 main gens, 5 fan expansion gens, and multiple other unofficial gens. V4 is newer and is mostly redoing the V3 princesses in a new larger format. New art style, bigger cards that describe the whole nation. Gats made some of them and then Eversor has done most if not all the newer onesGats is the original creator of Towergirls and we have not seen him in years.
>>97390986Well done. Nice action pose!
>>97392296Thank you, that's kind of you to say Yah been about 9 years now. Time flies. Interesting enough, I learned about it from drawing in the /tg/ and /co/ drawthreads. Someone told me I drew similar to Towergirls and asked if I could come to the threads and draw some stuff. The rest is history. I've always had a love for character design work, this setting allows for so much freedom to explore unique aesthetics its been a blast to draw for.I've drawn for other fandoms, like Undertale, Monsterprom, Homestuck. But nothing has stuck as long as Towergirls has. (I have bluesky where a lot of my work is shown btw)>>97392345I've only been able to draw because of the amazing community around me and the talented writers and artists that continue to motivate me. Nyx, Guayo, Brutus, Blank....just to name a few are so amazingly gifted.>>97392601Getting suggestions from the community is what I live for. Sometimes I've leaned heavily to a character I wanted to do but for the most part its been the group consensus.
>>97395380You should do a pure 100% Eversor created princess at some pointAbout time after 9 years lol. I want to see what you might come up with
Ah yes, the magnificat. That grand new primaris organ which not only enhanced standard space marines, but conveniently corrected that rather irritating compatibility flaw they once suffered from.Cope however you like. After the femstodes precedent, this outcome is inevitable and you know it.

I will put attractive female heads and boobplate when that happens, and they can do nothing to stop me.
What kind of tampons do you think they have in the Golden Throne palace complex on Terra in Warhammer 40k?
>>97395540Yeah, but I don't like his politics so he's a grifter and a tourist.

Whirling dervishes, magical orders in the middle of the desert, guuls, djinn spirits, and the like?
>>97384813Came here to mention this, but also that it doesn't really go hard into it, just has a light gesture towards the concepts but no depthful world building around middle eastern stuff. The dungeon heart mechanics are generic, the various downtime moves are generic, its lightly flavoured orientalist but meh.
>>97382755Fuck off, puckee.>>97370156How authentic do you want it to be? There is a good amount of old near east orientalist content, but cancel culture has killed it as a going thing.
>>97387641kill yourself faggot
Cyberpunk has suicide vests and Kalashnikovs but I think they shy away from the child brides and bestiality aspects. Might need WoD for that

Thread #02 Lean Winter on the TundraPrevious Thread: >>97090196Welcome to /un0/, an RP thread for playing a World of Darkness/Chronicles of Darkness Hunter. For any OOC questions about WoD/CofD, check the official general. >>97224887Rules:>We are acephale. There is no storyteller, we are not a quest.>This thread is based primarily but not exclusively in the nWoD/CofD game Hunter: the Vigil. However, Vigil is defined by being highly setting agnostic, with a system for creating entirely custom monsters that do not exist in other WoD/CofD games. Thus, you have significant freedom in what you want to play and what you want to hunt. Feel free to play a member of the Society of Leopold, or a member of the Lucifuge hot on the tail of a Lasombra.>Namefagging is encouraged but by no means mandatory.>Keep in mind that even highly experienced Hunters typically only have fractured pieces of the puzzle, and every table has their own canon. The night is dark and full of misinformation.>/un0/ is conceived of as an experimental end to end encrypted program that is very hard to compromise, retains very little data and purges that data regularly. Please play an actual Hunter.>Spoiler any OOC discussion.Happy hunting. Unless this thread somehow takes off like a rocket, this will be the last un0 thread for the foreseeable future. Towards the end of the thread, please give your feedback in regard to these shorter, limited run RP threads.
>>97390685Well, I'd reckon that it's because blood's the thing that keeps us alive. Lose too much blood, you die quick. In a scientific sense, it's possibly the single most valuable substance in our body in terms of keeping us fit and fine. If it holds up scientifically, then applying magical thinking, it might as well be pure life given liquid form. That's why it always has to be blood. Anyway, Duquesne weren't a vampire, but he did work with a cult. Demonic one.
>>97395267>but he did work with a cult. Demonic one.Not that surprising. Many are willing to give up their souls and enter servitude for a sliver of demonic power. Nothing is worse than a demon, best to destroy these cults as quickly as possible.
>>97395310Preaching to the choir my friend. Back around 200 years ago, there was a huge cult of a very old demon killing people every new moon. It's what got my family into the hunting profession in the first place. Nowadays, we pride ourselves on being a demon-free community. We actually still have the muskets they used back then as family heirlooms. Only really good as a wall-hanger, but an important piece of history. My ancestor's hunting knife gets passed down from father to eldest son, though we've needed to have it restored two separate times.
>>97395356Glad to hear that there are dedicated demon hunters out there. From what I know most hunters out there need to realise demons are very much real and dangerous. I'm no demon hunter myself but I know a few, they also go after wizards and such.
>>97395427We hunt more than just demons and their worshippers, but that'd be a specialty. I'm surprised to hear that most hunters you've met are skeptical about demons. Once you know there's things out there in the night, demons seem like a logical assumption. I'm hardly a religious scholar, but I'm pretty sure most cultures have something you could call a demon.
How do players in your groups, including yourselves if you play rather than GM, react to authority figures in your games? Are they happy to play along and do what they're told, or do you find that they try to rebel against whoever's in charge of them at any opportunity?>Traditional Games?This is a thread about how players react to authority figures in tabletop roleplaying games, a type of traditional game.>You first.When STing Vampire the Masquerade for my group (last session was about a month ago, we went on hiatus for Christmas) I find that they really chafe whenever the Prince demands anything of them and they are almost more interested in dismantling the local Camarilla so that they no longer need to follow orders than they are in the jobs that the Prince gives them.>What system?In my case, the system is Vampire the Masquerade 20th Anniversary, but the question is system neutral.>What setting?In my case, the setting is the World of Darkness, but the question is setting neutral.>Post this in a general.This is a generic topic without any focus on any specific system or setting that has a general, therefore I do not think that there is an appropriate general for this thread.
>>97395624Honestly, man, you're "I'm not mad, you are" troll act is just overreaching at this point. Just call me a nogaems already, that's at least less cringe.
>>97395650Why did you reply to me and not >>97395630? They're right there engaging with the topic you care so much about. If you cared even remotely about the replies in this thread you could have been discussing it this entire time instead of running defence for your lazy slide thread. Go on, reply to him. Ill wait :)
>>97394825Talking about traditional games, which is the stated objective of the shitposters, and the unsaid goal of everyone here.My group is generally pretty ok. If anything they are too in favour of established authority. They ended up working for the mayor in cyberpunk, and did not dare to contradict or suggest alternative solutions to their lord in L5R.

>>97390886Yes, that's right, but you still need unpossessed chaos space marines with same marks to keep the demons on table. Very expensive way to get to play demons, I don't recommend it. Just take banner that adds summoning points instead.
>>97387352Green it is then. >>97387766Brown will add another colour that don't really contrast or play along with any other.

Though I might be wrong here, since it is geared with grav stuff all the way, could probably use an energy-based artillery too.

>>97393212>>97393232I'm sorry, I was out of line, dealing with this shit is tough.
A few updates.First, our guest, Man of Florida, concluded his business in Bridgeport, but before he left with a few sets of clothes by uncle The Devil Wears Me, we let him transform into a bat and chase little Mercury Lamp all over the mansion, they had so much fun. Now that was one fine gentleman, why can't men, be them kindred or kine, be more like him?Second, I went to Elysium in New York to perform, and Princess Charming is here with me to shake some hands and kiss more posteriors. Although Elysium is the last place I'd look for Revelation, we met. I broke the news about my brother's final death, I don't know what was more spine-chilling, that raised eyebrow, or the new colors in Revelation's aura. I'll just say I'm talking about the kindred who introduced House Venus to the use of firearms, and Boy Toy was the best disciple among us.Third, we have a Ventrue living under this roof and her clanmates are questioning her level of safety. Me and Princess Charming agreed that we will be not facing whichever next crisis this world has in store for us without the help of Revelation, we will not wait for Mother Venus's opinion on the subject.
>>97395600>her clanmates are questioning her level of safetyIt helps that she doesn't go 'on patrol' with Blue Fairy waiting for anything ranging from kine to thinbloods to werewolves that also happen to be vampires to attack them.>Me and Princess Charming agreed that we will be not facing whichever next crisis this world has in store for us without the help of RevelationAre you joking me?>we will not wait for Mother Venus's opinion on the subject.Most excellent, you will not see Mother Venus pay for Revelation's services either. You can have those Ventrue friends help you cover the expenses, if they're so concerned and such good friends.
>>97395677Mamma, you look like a semi ran over your face, come and get your makeup fixed by Assoluta when we come back.

>tqHorus was wrong and rebelled for wrong reasons but the Emperor wasn't entirely right either. The Imperium was made for humanity, not posthumans. The legions were made to protect mankind, not to rule it.There is an interesting point brought up in some of the Black Books that the Imperium was building up new armies and fleets of mortal humans and led by mortals, not for sheer conquest but to hold and defend what the Imperium had. These new armies were raised by and ultimately answered to the Council of Terra. By and large these new armies also remained loyal to the Imperium rather than rebelling alongside the Warmaster.Perhaps there was a possibility, one that I have never seen addressed much myself, that had Horus's rebellion happened even just a few decades later then it may not have even reached Terra as by then the majority of the Imperium's fleets, which even in the Expeditionary fleets were crewed mostly by mortals, and armies would have been restructured and under the Council of Terra rather than the Warmaster directly. I don't know how much these particular details played into the Warmaster's plans, but perhaps he was aware that not only was the Council of Terra growing in strength politically but militarily as well.Pic related is from Book 4
>>97395620Wtf is wrong with GW that they won't let you use Custodians in both games. Isn't it literally the very same guys, ten thousand years afterwards?

>>973950532e's Mythic was deemed by and large a failure by most of the userbase, not for breaking the game, but for being incredibly lame. Mythic Proficiency for skills and checks basically gets "weaker" the higher level you become because it works along the same track all other types of proficiency does (essentially giving a +10 bonus instead of the +2/+4/+6/+8 track you get as you level), and also makes it so that ironically investing your mythic into things you're already good at is WORSE than investing it into things you would otherwise have no business doing, so a Wizard will do better investing their Mythic into Athletics than the Fighter will, and the Fighter will do better investing into Arcana than the Wizard, etc.Many of the feats are similarly lame, and most of them do very little to make you feel like you're able to do incredible feats that a non-mythic character could also do with a good enough roll.
>>97395053It's pretty underbaked no matter how you slice it. More functional than the 1e version, but not the Exalted power fantasy you would expect from it. The biggest issue comes from the Mythic Callings, your "Tier 1" Mythic powers being *painfully* limited in applications. Combined with the early-game feats being "nice to have" more than "lemme bend the Tarrasque like a straw", and you spend a lot of time just playing 2e normally with an occasional "official homebrew", Temu Divinity: Original Sin 2 Source Power.Once you get a Mythic Archetype and Mythic Gear, you definitely feel far more potent and more akin to the fantasy, but that's locked off to 12th-level minimum. Spellcasters are left wanting (as usual for 2e) thanks to no item runes, 2 Mythic Archetypes dedicated for them, and a poor selection of things that interact with spellcasting in general. And the RAW rules for Mythic Point regeneration, requiring you do to a "Mythic task" or crit succeed at your skills is really low.
Is it just me, or does no one really give a shit about Starfinder 2E?
>>97395324I would not be surprised if that was the case but i would wait a bit until more SF2e books ( ship combat) are released so we can get a full picture.Regarding SF1e , it was not compatible with PF1e so you had to "invest" in it and if you didnt like you were "Shit out of luck" ( SF1e had a lot of shitty rules) . I heard that SF2e is fully compatible with PF2e , if that is true than that will give the game a bigger player base instead of being a standalone game , well i dont give a shit about PF2E or SF2e they are both dogshit to me .
>>97395324Eh, SF setting was already pretty lame in 1e, and 2e has sofar only made it worse. And for system there is not really anything to speak about because it is just pf2e in speesh,
