ITT: Let's make a Spelljammer solar system. Each anon adds a new celestial body or adds something to a body that came before.>the Sun is ruled by a dynasty of demi-gods descended from sun dragons. They rule over a race of Azers who live on sunspots, which are basically enormous mounds of hot coal floating on a sea of super-heated gold.>Kalu is a medium-sized, tidally locked planet. People live in shadows that protect them from the intense heat of dayside. Those who wander beyond the shadows of their homes will find their own shadows coming to life with a will of their own.
ugh very lsepy bump
>>93932195Yep.
>>93899067The ring of horror is an asteroid belt consiting of millions of unusually close stellar ojects ranging in size from small rocks to large moons. The area is highly mineral rich, with even mythically rare metals like mithral and adamantine being nearly as common here as plain iron on populated planets.Unfortunately, any potential for mining is rendered nearly impossibly by two major issues responcible for the rings namesake. First and foremost, the unusually close proximity of objects in this belt mean collisions are very common. Any spelljammer entering this zone is much more likely to be ground to dust under a ocean of adamantine gravel traveling at the speed of sound than survive to collect any.Secondly, and even more horrifyingly, the zone isn't lifeless. It's inhabitted by numerous species of nomadic insect and arachnid-like species evolved to survive in its inhospitable environment. Autopsy of captured organism reveal nearly all recorded species massive brain-to-body ratios, this has been positted to be the reason for their reported grace and maneuverability in their home environment. Current theory positd their brains evolved specifically to act as a natural navigation and vector calculator to allow the verious species to safely navigate their environment by tracing the paths of thousands of celestial objects easily. This unfortunately results in creatures highly adept at setting up planned traps by leading prey, or adventurers, into the path of unseen deadly objects. On top of this, some sighting of Psionically Active species have been reported, with one unconfirmed rumor of a creature large and strong enough to move one of the large moons in the zone.Adventurers beware and stear clear.
>>93899067The SpotAn area in the solar system that does not orbit the sun. It is still in a single point in space and does not seem to move at all. It resembles gargutan marble platform, about the size of large castle grounds. Any attempts to build upon it have mysteriously failed. It is said that at certain times something strange can be seen happening on it. The truth of the place is unknown
Forgot to post this earlier, but I updated it>>93908275
I'm looking for new bespoke traditional games like in pic related. Also what did you think of the new dnd players handbook.
>>93941265Multiple people have now tried to explain to you a very simple thing that affects most hobbies and you want to pretend it's some random literally-whos that crowdfunded an art book. You are terminally stupid and you need to hurry things along so we stop wasting food on you.
>multiple peopleOnly one person replied to my post, and it was you.>that cool storySeems more like multiple personalities than people.
>>93934950>I can almost guarantee it's less "they over charge for international shipping" and more "international shipping is absurdly expensive."It's often the former. US companies just don't seem to give a shit about overseas shipping. Things that would fit in a single envelope get charged $40 because all the shipping is the same, who gives a fuck if you're only ordering like one playing card.
>>93935614>>93939225>>93934950Other companies doing the same bullshit is not an excuse. 1st class international package from USPS is 17 bucks and fits any realistic order.
>>93941108We literally know it doesn't cost that much though.
>to marry my daughter you must steal 1 of the 3 sacred gems of light from the actual god of darkness, the most powerful of all the gods, in his terrible mountain fortress>to marry my daughter you must defeat the dark lord, become king and resurrect the great empire of mankind that used to rule these lands in times of peaceIs elf pussy the most powerful motivating force in fantasy?
>>93939271
>>93930312Absolutely not. Adding a few trinkets to your treasure pile is certainly worth it the effort though.
>>93933787Bruh, Luthien, the daughter in OP's first scenario, joins Beren to help steal the gem and gives up immortality for him
>>93930525>no square featuring obnoxious faggots swooping in because someone dared make a thread that isn't tied to system mechanics>no square featuring seething retards spamming a thread out because some completely innocuous image of an anime elf was used in the OP>no square featuring pretentious troglodytes getting VERY upset that elves aren't universally depicted as though they're from Tolkien's workWhoever created that image fits in one of the categories I listed and conveniently omitted them.

>>93943597That assumes you're even on target enough when you're exiting the warp to immediately be in combat.
>>93943807I thought for a second Witch Augers could be used for that but turns out it's the other way around.
>>93943597Strictly speaking by the rules, it says only ships SMALLER than it, not of a specific class. So, theoretically, on your 12km Universe, and just using some basic logic, four docks means two docks on either side of the ship, or one on all sides except prow and stern. If two on port/starboard, that means the ships can be a max of 6km each, so you can tow anything that isn't a grand cruiser into battle, why bother limiting yourself to just raiders?
can i give the nurgling a piece of slami? as a treat?
>>93943994Mostly just that I was taking their mention of raiders to their logical extent. Though I really should've used system monitors for that - they're armed and armored like a light cruiser in the package of a frigate.
Ive read the peak of most of everything ive ever been interested in, but now i want somthing more, authentic i know that no campaign will ever play out as something as well written as stories with actual authors like lord of the rings or game of thrones but the idea of random people just making up shit on the fly and in the heat of the moment to solve problems is apealing to meSo is there any campaign stories that have been chronicled or saved for posterity? I only want the best of the best of such stories however
>>93938850I guess what it comes down to is TwoDee and Shoggy's stories, real or not, are fun reads that feel as though they could be real. Old Man Henderson is both obviously fake, unfunny, and constantly used as a justification for making petty revenge characters to fuck up people's games.Back on topic, if we're talking about media in general, The Expanse was based on the author's sci-fi campaign. Firefly was also supposedly based in part on a Traveller campaign Joss Whedon was a player in while he was in college, but this is a little dubious.
>>93938620Pretty sure there was one, but maybe not. Certainly not in the last couple of months. Clearly, the answer is to have them for the entirety of October like the good ol' days. Or immediately. Whatever works.>fewer posters fix anything.It'd probably just be greater bots and obsessive autists vs real users and fewer people to actually do anything good. Just post and encourage other people to post good things is about all we can or should do.
>>93939302Dunno, OMH felt pretty funny to me, but I admit that's mainly cause something as self-serious as Call of Cthulhu getting ripped a new one feels pretty funny. Either way, I do hope that at least Bonzy the Sad Clown's not a story people are going to throw a 'tism fit on whether it's fake or not.

>>93884806Any anons interested in or taking commissions for weapon requests?
>>93884806Longshot here, but requesting some art done for an upcoming character.The character is an older Harengon >inb4 furfag, small sized, white with darker brown spotting. He's a victorian-era surgeon, somewhere between Joseph Lister, Basil Stag Hare, and Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing, and as such carries with him older surgical instruments like bonesaws or amputating knives. He dresses in rather nice vests, wears round spectacles, and smokes a pipe. Did my best to get the general vibes down with my reference collage; again, not expecting much but it would be awesome to get some drawfriend on this; google and character art threads have turned up absolutely nothing that works for me.
>>93929190So why do you specifically want them both to be missing their right arms?
>>93941459I think it would be cruelly funny and adorable if they both lost their right arms.

ITT: unsafe fantasy art
>>93928187Why does every case you make just come back to show Western civilization is fundamentally evil and should be destroyed?
>>93925650>The only things, if I'm being generous, that I could see as being in potentially poor taste are the position of her legs straddling hisFWIW, basic unarmed tactics for attacking a prone or semi-prone opponent - if you cannot pin them via bodyweight or leverage - have you put yourself between their legs. This prevents them from easily standing, it mostly prevents them from rolling out from under you, and it prevents them from kneeing you in the fucking dick.For what he is doing, choking someone with an extended arm, Garrick is FIGHTHING FUCKING CORRECTLY. There's nothing sexual about it beyond what someone chooses to read into it. He's doing the tactically correct thing by putting his legs between hers so she can't escape or kick/knee his crotch. The artist may actually have done their research for once, and has gotten nothing of a decade of reee-ing because stupid people on the internet have to see SEXSEXSEX in everything they do.
>>93937751>What do normoids think happens in combat anyways? That it's like a PG-13 action movie where anyone who dies is knocked down and there's no blood, strangulation, death spasms, dismemberment, etc?MtG has been trying to become the MCU in cardboard for a long while now, so... yes actually. It being bland and goreless is an entirely reasonable expectation in line with the attempted brand trajectory since at least Origins. It's not what older fans wanted, but it's what they've been doing.

Discuss strategies and techniques for this delightful bird game
>>93939645>he doesnt whistle their calls
>>93939645tpbpI don't really know how to play this game.The deck feels so large that searching for synergy feels like a bad ROI for actions.Hope for an actionable pair of birds in the opening hand and then lean in?Take every egg-spam bird you see?
The game would have been funner had it been a direct card battler instead of being the indirect card battler that it is currently, but maybe I think that because i never learnt how to play properly lel
We can also discuss wyrmspan if you want to…
>>93939016There's only one strategy:Start the game with a bird that can make food and a bird that can draw birds.Everything else is just doing nothing but engine building.

>>93943654because they're an older independent organisation and have an active duty in rounding up psykers to keep the golden throne up and running.they've got no time answering to some inquisitor.but they should interact more with grey knights now that custodes are confirmed extremely gay and not in the correctly homo way.
>>93943655They're so uninteresting they're easily overshadowed by their successors.
>>93943655Unironically every other chapter is more interesting than IF. Being known as the normal guys who are best at standing on walls and shooting bolters at stuff as the codex tells them to is not an interesting character trait

based worldbuilding guide that really gets what's been ruining modern fantasy these days
>>93931088No, not really. they only made self sustenance weapons.Gondor wasnt flooded by competitively priced import as far as we can see.Industry angle is more Saruman's shtick specifically. Mordor is more vast hordes.
>>93932868>Mordor is more vast hordes.Mordor is the whole region. The blasted land with the black tower is just one part of the region called Gorgoroth. Past it there's Nurn which is fertile land.
>>93933894>Non-autistic fantasy is more like "Yeah um... the rivers all are fed by... the riverlands. The capital is called kings landing because king land there. There's a big wall... it's called the wall."Real place names are often quite like that, except maybe in a different language or two and then mutated over time.Good geographic autism will tell you where the settlements are and what they do there, but for place name autism you need to invent legends, history, language, and religion.
>And I have to ask, primarily, why is it that this aspect is growing in popularity?Who the fuck says it is? Where is it? I have noticied an uptick in fucks pushing they're Fantasy Modern Cosy shit with way too many details "Tee-Hee sorry to lore dump uwu" bullshit way more than I've seen some basic ass "Here is Riverton, a town by a river."Cite some sources instead of just blathering on

>>93944121No I meant, a perk that is Quirk 0 free, Quirk 1 is something, Quirk 2 is something 2, and etecetera.Because if I got this right, your system of Quirk Table seems a bit restricting.>Quirkless status is a drawback you can actually get points forYeah that was dumb from me.
>>93944139Bold of you to assume I can be trapped.
>>93944016>What Quirks do you want to see in the probably final update?Hmmm, haven't read the doc closely due to RL stuff, but do you have a stockpile type quirk in there?Stockpile as in, if you don't use something you can gather it. Like stocking up on health by being either kinda sickly, or very tired, but being able to later use that stock of stuff? As for other stuff....hhhm something that really shines only when used as support? I assume you can get that by using Quirk Marriage, but it would be cool if there was something like High Specs that works by linking people's minds together, and the more people join the smarter everyone gets in the timeshare so to speak. That or you can just move around stamina from person to person to hype up a person to an insane degree. Do we have anything for energy conversion? Like a sort of Universal Adapter that can exchange stuff like Thermal to Kinetic, back and forth, for multiple energy types?Dunno, there is a lot of Quirks that can be out there.

>>93944122I think things are rarely 'everything turned out fine,' even in seemingly happy endings. I think the series just wants to give a send off that isn't miserable. "Everything is wrapping up now but instead of providing closure here's the spotlight on several plot threads that didn't get wrapped up great and will never be addressed.">>93944125Yeah, you're not wrong. There's several series off the top of my head that are really good or at least entertaining, and then it gets to the end and it kinda looks like they tripped down a flight of stairs. Recently when checking out conversations of Jujutsu Kaisen I was able to learn that manga don't just end when appropriate, but that the author has to make a prediction ahead of time during regular meetings about how many more chapters they're gonna need and if they undershot or overshot the prediction well tough nuts they gotta work with that number now.>>93944127Jump editors are cruel and weird on a regular basis. Thank you Toriyama's editor for making the Cell arc so fucking weird and rejecting several ideas for who the main antagonists are, but also that guy was into little girls and Toriyama fucking with him constantly is a good thing.
>>93944146Even Jump-Chan can, canonically.

>>93941875Agreed, everything past the Original Trilogy is a joke.
>>93941875I don't think the EU was a joke, I just think lore/explanation stuff was poor compared to characters just having adventures. Secret origins of random shit isn't interesting. It's just stuff and names.
>>93941875Nothing's a bigger joke than Reddit Letter Media
Has anyone ever used the Star Wars setting for specific types of rpg other than just a "Star Wars" campaign or at least considered it?You could probably run interesting cyberpunk games in the Corporate Sector, Nar Shaddaa, or lower Coruscant.You could run a vintage sword & planet game on Shiva IV.You could likely do so thing akin to more traditional fantasy on Weik or a number of other minor medieval worlds. Perhaps even a fantasy campaign on Endor would be doable.Take some limited inspiration from Cult & Supernatural encounters and you could run cosmic horror to a degree.By default Star Wars has a place for westerns, espionage, organized crime games, various modes of sci-fi gaming, noir, pulp adventure, etc.

>>93942840Ah I wouldn't say losing ghost blood evasion is anything major for him. it's just one of his supporting empherial abilities. I figure his innate physique / sword skill is the bulk of his "oomph" with his aura being a debuff to peers and as a pseudo trump if he can use it to "ministun" in crucial moments. That said I don't mind him being framed as someone who loses more often than not at the school since the alternative is that he inflicts critical or even deadly injuries which is not very cash money.

Fellow Taoists, it is time again for a daily prompt post.1. Which character do you think has cool or fitting techniques. Both terms of name and description. Why?2. If your character was stuck in a room for 24 hours with another PC which PC would you want it to be? Which would you least want it to be?3. Your character is in the infirmary, how'd they get there?
