Are there any agreed upon naming conventions for gnomes? I was trying to come up with a good gnome name and when I looked online all the suggestions just sounded like random syllables. If there's any consistent logic I cannot figure it out.

Is there a point to making your RPG system OSR anymore if you want it to be successful? It's a quick and easy way to have a basic framework for your game, and focus on unique mechanics. But it also means people take your game less seriously in terms of its design. So is there a point? Even for a game that has a major OSR mechanic at its core, like gold-for-XP? Such a game would inherently be partially OSR, but for something like an urban decay cyberpunk game that might focus on what is effectively dungeon crawling and wealth-based advancement, or a pirate focused BX clone, is it worth sticking to the BX D&D framework to make a successful system? Example: Shadowdark, which was mostly successful for its marketing, but also because it was OSR D&D and this familiar even to 5e players.

>>97105170The only thing I can think of is that it's a more recent planet or something. Or there was some sort of mass extinct event due to something. That's assuming the water is actually water, not something else.

>>97052743A useful decree. Need any help implementing it? My infernus clan could take on additional responsibilities making sure everyone gets screened.
>>97033248I'm going to alter the way my planet interprets the Imperial Creed by placing reverence on psykers. In practice literally nothing will change on policy, unsanctioned psykers will still be picked up through the black ships and sanctioned psykers will be employed by the nobility and other sectors, the major difference being the populace will view them as holy and closer to the Emperor than mundane humans. The Imperium is entirely dependent on the existence of psykers to function and would collapse without access to psychically active humans, and the change of interpretation mainly serves to make a point.
>>97033248Allow rat farms on the lower hives and allow the formation of rat farming clans, legalize the brewing of rotgut for both personal consumption and local commercial enterprise, and forcibly send the underhive out into the wastes to scavenge scrap and archeotech. Conventional slavery will be legalized as an alternative to punishments warranting servitude imperialis, and slaves may be purchased and inherited through household; the utilization of slaves will be counted towards a free resident's quota and the resident will be dealt rations, pay, or whatever other equipment their quotas usually reward as if the resident had fulfilled the quota himself. The construction of shabbier pit fights will be sanctioned on lower portions of the hive cities and more elaborate arenas on higher portions. PDF and enforcer regiments will be allowed to gamble during breaks.
Old School EditionDiscuss and post elves. Elf lore, gameplay, and art are all appreciated.QOTT: What would you change about elves if you had the influence to do so?
If I could be frank, Marcille is a pretty crummy elf. She's neuotic, loud, kind of a pushover, resorts to dark magic, and slightly humble. Elves are stoic, serene, authoritative, stick to proper magic (unless they're dark elves), and self-assured. There are plenty of good elves in the manga, but Marcille isn't living up to them. Also, I know she's a halfie, so that almost certainly explains it
>>97107968>Elves are stoic, serene, authoritative, stick to proper magic (unless they're dark elves), and self-assuredIn which setting?Marcille is pretty consistent with D&D elves, her being written and drawn by an avid D&D player. I consider Elves to be overly emotional beings with constant need to emotionally communicate/vent with the rest of the world. It fits into their Fey connection. But then again...I'm tied to forgotten realms and it's logic tying Fey and Elves.
>>97107968>>97108497Yeah, this is expecting all elves to adhere closer to a Tolkien style.Personally I vary things up a bit. You'd get the overly stoic, serene etc from high elves. Wood/Wild Elves are authoritative, and often quite violent. Almost to a point I'd consider making them non-playable. Grey Elves are the ones I make the most Tolkien like, and they flat out aren't a playable option since their lifespan are to the other elves what elves are to humans.
>>97089103>What would you change about elves if you had the influence to do so?Honestly, I would probably just slightly shift the default portrayal of Elves somewhat away from the usual Tolkien style (not that there's anything wrong with Tolkien style Elves, I like them too) to more of a fairy tale-esque style, ie the way they're depicted in Dolmenwood. Not a massive tonal difference, fairly subtle I think, but I find the heavily fairy-inspired Elves really cool.

>the party's paladin has decided to join the BBEG after seeing the BBEG's cute daughter likes him>he doesn't fallHow does your party react?
We're just going to wait for her to backstab him. My money is on poison tipped fingernail claws across his back, but the wizard says poisoned chalice. Rogue says literal knife in the back, as always.
>>97107804Doesn't happen because we don't play D&D like faggots.
>>97109535But she's already pregnant and planning the wedding! (The BBEG sends your party an offer to kill the paladin)
>>97109804Oh great, raising his child to kill him, that's going to throw the whole pool off.
>>97109535The classic "sow seeds of discontent, distrust and just general gaslighting until the fool ends up dead without her needing to actually do anything" plot is what I'd go with. And I'd double that bet if I could add a "and he dies trying to save her from her own father, who she is actively trying to reconcile with" clause.
>setting has fates worse than death that can befall you at any timeWhy doesn't anyone in the setting just kill themselves when they have the chance?
>>97107001Please do.
>>97107226Kek, typical religidiot
>>97106992You see, things still have brain activity while asleep. It operates the organs, performs repairs on itself, signals the release of hormones, focuses mor energy on digestion. This is what causes dreams.Here's the part where i say (You) don't have brain activity in your sleep, because you're retarded.
>>97106507>no heartbeat doesn't mean deathBurger education on full display.
>>97107468Anon.. dreams only occur during REM, when your hippocampus is "writing to disk" all the shit in your RAM, so to speak. That's like, basic sleep biology. Yes, your body is running background processes (like breathing), including several trigger events to rouse you, but any higher cognitive functions are not operative. You're really not in any position to call me retarded when you're spouting such horseshit

>>97105056>insane girlCan do, no such thing as a sane one.>kindap meTough, but doable. See above, re: "insane">abuse meEasily possible, there's nothing women like so much as seeing a man miserable >love meAaaand now you've gone outside the realm of feasibility into pure unrealistic fantasy. Nobody will ever love you anon. Surely you must know that.
>>97105134I like the idea, being pushed into a thankless job where you gotta play rough and play dirty just to keep things from falling apart or turning against you is great premise. Too bad it's isekai.

>>97111846This. MPs would last longer if the shitposters didn't try to kill them constantly.
>>97111890True, but I think it’s only fair if I take the blame where I feel like I should take it. I tried, hell, I don’t think the writing itself was bad at least by my standards, I enjoyed writing the Student Council’s reaction to Madoka being stabbed and them grieving and arguing about it, but it could’ve been its own separate story I guess, and also it was just unfortunate in general like you said. I kinda do wanna see someone else trying a chain eventually though, do it better than I did
>>97111884>but it's also true that there is a substantial effort being put in the opposite direction, to kill any MP that shows up.Unfortunately, you're not going to fix that problem. If someone's goal is to kill mps, then you're never going to persuade them to stop. All you can really do is power through it and accept that any mp that can't power through it is screwed. Having assholes around is the inherent drawback of getting to be anonymous.The best you could do to dissuade them is to ignore them in hopes that they give up... but sadly our anons are uniquely united in their desire to go after bait.
>>97111908What can we do about it tho?
>>97111884If it’s any consolation, the last thing that was added to Robots was my writefag and I would’ve been happy to keep playing if I saw more stuff popping up after that point. I liked it for what it was anon
