>>98864871Did Palladium ever write anything about mercenaries or soldiers of fortune? What about fan content?

Yesterday, while drinking and crying, I realized an interesting thing.The only time I actually had an interesting campaign with a vampire antagonist in a tabletop rpg was, surprisingly, a Warhammer RP. It was long adventure that took decent amount of sessions, but I remember it covered a lot(noble society in city, doing shit in slums and countryside, cult of slaanesh shaping to be as final villain), with the vampire being a hidden villain who guided party to do shit. So I began wondering why it never happened in other tabletop games, and I realized that the majority of them including even big ones like D&D and Pathfinder, don’t really support vampires as major potential villains that well.Fuck, even liches did job of what I want from vampires way better in these settings.Or am I wrong?
Have you heard of this Strahd guy?
>>98927680>while drinking and cryingWhy are you drinking and crying, anon?>Or am I wrong?Half and half. Some settings certainly make it easier to have a vampire as antagonist, IF you want that antagonist to be clandestine. In games like D&D and its clones, there's almost always some mojo to detect these things. So if you want a vampire antagonist in those settings, they have to work through intermediaries. But saying one or the other support them as villains, then I would say no. There's tons of different kinds of antagonists, and you are not obligated to have vampires follow the cliché.

If a succubus was pretending to be a lawful good paladin long term would this so some kind of psychological damage to the demon? Would they get some sort of the departed style break down from it?

Are succubi immortal in DnD
>>98926829Kinda. Fiends slain in Prime Material plane get "banished" and return to their plane of origin, when slain in their plane of origin they die for real. (But after dying for real might still be brought back with high level magic, because DnD).

Finished watching the thing, and reviewing the one relevant book / written material. There's probably enough here for 1/2/4/6 for perks, but items are kind of paltry. I suppose I can try and put pen to paper for this. No ETA, I'm very disinterested. I'm not taking time out of my busy schedule of doing nothing to make it, everything else will take priority over it, but at least it'll get done at some point. The goal is to present new options instead of what's in TLC or 2.>>98921984I feel like I recognize this image.
>>98909053based
>>98923658What are your origins (if applicable), and what slots are you currently missing for items?
>>98924781I've figured it out. My problem was determining what, if any, melee weapons to offer because I want to offer something else for each origin's 100CP item, and I'm only doing one line each. Hero Weapons at their best are only better than steel, but not as good as master, and they don't do anything augmented / weaponed morphed. Good idea executed poorly. The Dragonstomper .48 is in both games, so I just sat down and figured out the difference in damage between the games, it's 1.1. My other problem is that only one weapon type in Fable 3 is strictly better than the best master weapons with 4 optimized augments from Fable 2, and it's actually supremely better.I must break my word of replying only once per day because we're the thread next to page 11.
>>98926740The fire and electricity calculations are done differently in 3, there's actually a number of weapons that are stronger. In any case, I've figured out what I want the items to be. I'd like to name everything else tomorrow / today, but it likely won't happen. Relatively few screenshots to transfer things from, though. One of the books has connection to both 3 and Journey, but I left it out because if a Journey Jump is to be made it'll need the content.

>>98917085I can't do Vatican but if you like comics you would do well to check out Usagi Yojimbo Senso.
>>98924786Yup that is correct>With the fall of the Western Empire in the 5th century, the amphitheatre became a shelter for the population and was transformed into a fortress with four towers (the southern tower is not restored).[3] The structure encircled more than 200 houses, becoming a real town, with its public square built in the centre of the arena and two chapels, one in the centre of the building, and another one at the base of the west tower.>>98927196huh interesting, i'll check it out>>98922571>>98921241Thx guys, should we do another thread once this one slides off the board?

>>98924074That's right you gay nigger. Here's the book collection going back decades. I keep it in my game storage room. You...do have a game storage room don't you anon? One of the rooms in your house? Surely you've got a house?
>>98926456you know the rules, shoe on head
>>98924730Only heard rumors of the sort that it's made intentional at least now, despite so many Admech players really wanting them.>>98924708This is true. But even Legends is really patchy now, now I can only see them through that stupid phone app and HH Legends in particular seems to outright no longer exist for any flavor of CSM.
>>98923965The fucking creature that took this picture needs to trim those talons, jfc
>>98923990To be fair I think it's more a centerpiece/display model. I'd definitely want one for my display, but wouldn't ever play with it.That said, I also want a stormbird but I could get a top end 3d printer and still have change instead...
I have no idea what races to use for my fantasy setting.
>>98921173Being against fantastic things in fantasy settings shows that you're insecure.
>>98923503I totally get why you might think that. But to be clear, this should mean that there should be no limits on anything that is fantasy-related, right? It must all be included, or you're insecure?
>>98920364We have no clue what your setting even is. How tf are we even supposed to answer this question? Are you looking for beastfolk given the image?
>>98920364thicc tanuki girls
>>98920364What’s the theme of the setting? I’m guessing from the pic you’re reaching for a more comfy setting than anything
How do you do it? How much effort do you put in to hide or justify or explain it?Did you get away with it? Did you players connect the dots?Pic related is Ed Greenwood who is the mastermind of writing with his dick. He got away with it. Even praised for it. It is amazing that he gets away with it.
>>98924206What proof would it take to convince you that the original Girdle was included as a training tool to teach players about cursed items, and not because of the 2016-present culture war?
>>98924256>What proofNothing. My mind is made up. Don't try and confuse things with facts.
>>98924274jej based retard
I once put a cursed item that turned one of the player characters into a woman and "Scythian" (race which encompasses medusas, sphinxes, lamias, etc.) via a legendary artifact held by an oriental shopkeeper. Both he and his girlfriend were NOT amused. Albeit his character bullied the shopkeep and would NOT listen to her try to warn him so he really had it coming.

With the backer kit campaign rolling, what are your experiences with Swordworld?I dont play most modern RPGs. I usually play crunchy stuff like Palladium or Dark Eye. Would I find this too shallow?
>>98897033I'm currently playing the fan translation of the 1998 "complete" (1st) edition. It certainly has its moments, the adventure skills and abilities are pretty fun to work with, some are crazy like the sage knowledge skill (my character knows this, spit it out GM).The basics of the game is very elegant once you understand when to use the differences in the rules. We're playing on Lodoss in Marmo-occupied Kanon and I love the setting.The biggest problem with the rules I've encountered are the combat rules. The very strict action announcement isn't good or logical and the values of the rating table you roll for damage are so low that in low levels you're doing 1 or 2 damage to even kobolds and goblins on a good damage roll. On the flipside the monsters almost never hit and seldom deal damage if they do. This means fights take forever to resolve and are pretty boring since it's mostly hitting and doing no damage
>>98923572So the more you get resurrected the more hideous traits you gain? Thats brutaĺ!
>>98923918Yup
I am looking over the rules and its actually very intuitive. I like the deathlock and healing skills
The fellow system is really, really the Pawn system of Dragons Dogma. That is to say the pawn system was probably lifted from SW. Like there is even a detailed bit about how players are encouraged to write a report how the fellow did in their session and what goodies the fellow gets.I can imagine how that would work like a binder of fellows at a hobby shop different players can look through and pull, or in a school where players on different schedules can share.
