We keep seeing dwarf and elf threads but where are the comfy halfling threads?
Halfling is an exonym. Hobbit is the endonym.

I’ve been using the Greek and/or Norse gods in my own campaign settings, but I want to start making my own deities and pantheons going forward, if you have any advice, I’d love to hear it please. Same for anything you’re willing to say about your own gods and goddesses, or any art of gods or related entities like angels.
>>96935482>There is only ONE god in my setting, and it is an inhuman force of pure balance that hates (you) for being stronger than level 5 or soWhy does it hate those who get so strong?
>>96537281Take a look at dominions lore, that stuff is cool.
>>96537281First off, don't give your gods alignments. Domains without alignment work better. The god of war is great when your enemies are attacking and he gives your armies boons. He kind of sucks when things are now people and he keeps enticing people to start new conflicts/wars. Treat them a little like forces of nature.Avoid explanations like they need followers to fuel their powers. Keep it simple and to the point. Gods meddle in mortal affairs because that is what they do, it is in their nature. Just like a spider is going to build a web and a bird is going to build a nest, gods just love meddling.Give them domains and they don't necessarily have to make sense. Weird domains can be interesting and create a story. For example at a glance the god of time and taxes seems silly, but you can build him into some god of the inevitable that takes from everyone. Once you have a few domains you make up the story. The story is what makes the gods interesting.Let the gods do stupid shit. Maybe the god of love turns to the two kings leading different sides in a great war gay for each other. Why? The god of war wasn't paying enough attention to her so she decided to end his war so he stops playing with his soldiers and takes her on a date. Its retarded, but its a story. The gods being a little retarded works out.Worship is partially trying to get something from the gods. You might offer some coins to the god of financial ruin in a trade deal to appease him. You much worship the goddess of wisdom to try and become more wise. The rituals are part of life.
>>96937596The way of god is balance in all things. Humans are meant to be physically weak. They have no claws, no fangs, no tough hide or sturdy physique. In return, they have intelligence far surpassing other creatures. This is balance.When you try to remove what is meant to be your main weakness, you spit in the face of balance. You are not supposed to be faster than a cheetah, or stronger than a gorilla. You are not supposed to fly like a bird, or live longer than a tortoise. Attempting to exceed your station incurs the wrath of god. It will subtly plot against you to make you fail. But, again, the main principle here is balance. Proportional power, proportional response. And each hurdle set before you must have proportionate rewards.
I'm running an into the odd campaign and I'm going to use some elemental magic as a base for the magic system.It will have all the classics, but I want to add some more obscure or unusual elementals too.So far I got the ideia of dividing wind and air into two different elemental groups.One pushes stuff and makes tornadosThe other is more like suffocation, oxygen and oxidation. Flesh is a cool one and well as blood.Soul energy (green) Life energy (red) spiritual energy (blue) and occult energy (purple)Wood/plantsComment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>96910694In a setting I'm working on the elements are Light, Fire, Air, Water, Earth, and Void, with each element having sub-disciplines. If any anons here have any experience with similar systems I would very much like to hear about it or their thoughts on the matter in general please.
>>96910694>smoke>neon>video>concrete
>>96942629Video is just illusion, but the other ones are cool. Concrete might be replaced with Mud though.
>>96942888I think that it's a reference to InFamous Second Son.
>>96910694How about friction? With control of friction as an ‘element’ (or elemental reaction) you can freeze people’s hearts, jam weapons in scabbards, make surfaces unscalable and ropes unclimbable, bowstrings ungraspable, cause people to slip uncontrollably or slide down hills, jam mechanisms etc.

>>96834619How can we have fun again?
>>96927874I’m banned for some reason so im using my phone for a bit.>>96918104As you might have read, it was only 5 that died on impact. Turns out we'd missed the Carrows, or at the very least grazed them, as it turns out, after about 2 minutes of disembarking, we noticed the two of them nearly bleeding out on the ground. Originally, we were planning on just knifing them and being done with it, but Luna distracted us as we got everyone out by yelling out Neville's name, and jumped the surprised student while the rest of our passengers began to swarm him, swearing that they'd heard he'd been killed. Then Hermione started going green, which prompted Luna to take her to the corner, they'd catch us up later. The Carrows were grabbed and tied up, and we started taking stock of our situation.True to his word, Dobby's spell had actually protected us quite well on the inside. Unfortunately, that spell had only included the interior, meaning the outside of the tank had taken the majority of the abuse. We were fine, if a little shaken up, Dean and Ron had only thrown up once in the tank itself, which was quickly disposed of by the girls refusing to get it on them, and all our ammo was fine, while we helped everyone out and the ladies finally lost what was left of lunch in the corner. The main issue was that now we had an 80 ton ballistic missile in front of the door, and said missile was not flying again. The outside was actually mostly fine, but the turret was wrecked, and the treads had been totaled by the mad bounce we'd had when we hit the floor. We weren't even sure how Dobby expected this to help us, but then we realized that his hero worship of Potter had gone too far. He was clearly of a mind that Potter could fix this with magic, and when we asked the boy wonder, he gave us a quizzical look and asked what the fuck we were talking about. He couldn't fix this. God damn elves.
>>96944796We realized pretty quickly we didn’t have time to run around interrogating. We had just made a FUCK ton of noise so we needed to move quickly and quietly to avoid suspicion. Nevil on the other hand, after being swarmed, told us we didn’t actually need to. The Carrow twins had a hobby of silencing rooms to use their curses on the occupants, and given what he’d been through and how Hogwarts was still under a rather brutal dictatorship, they’d basically been given run of the place. We took his advice and made a quick adhoc circle with the rest of our teammates, and began to ask him what happened before his student friends interrupted us to ask how he was still alive, how he’d managed to avoid the Carrows for some long, and how he’d managed to start Dumbledore’s army again? He said we’d learn in time, but he was much more interested in telling us what happened today, and what our plans were.Neville told us the tale of having to dodge the Carrow twins when he’d attempted to liberate some supplies, how he’d acquired the marauder’s map, and how it had helped him kickstart a new revolt inside the walls. Snape apparently had been absent for a week, and the Carrow twins were one of the highest ranking Death Eaters around. We pointed out we had them trussed like turkey’s, and he thanked us for that, saying he wanted to ask them how to change the barrier to prevent appriation. We asked what he meant. He said the barrier around Hogwarts only let in who was considered “A friend to Hogwarts.” Said friends were now only death eaters, and if an alarm was raised, we’d have people teleporting in to prevent us from moving too far and we’d probably be killed, but that was what our plan had been right? We’d flown in like that because we’d had no other choice. This galvanized us nicely, and we rushed over to our prisoners to immediately interrogate them. It went about as well as one can expect.
>>96944818>HOW DO YOU TURN OFF THE ALARM>Who the fuck are you.>LESS TALK MORE TURN OFF ALARM>We’re not telling you shit.>PLEASE I DON’T WANNA DIE I HAVEN’T EVEN GOTTEN LAID YET>Well that can be changed quite quickly…Sharp put a stop to Damian's retarded questioning by pointing his gun at the Carrow brother’s testies, and asking quite politely if he was ready to die twice for the dark lord, or if there was a method of convincing we could try. He was told that he’d be dead within the hour if he shot, to which Sharp mentioned that an hour was a long time. He might want to think that over. Carrow gulped, looked at his sister, then decided that his balls were more important. He promised that if we let them go, he’d take us to the controls for the barrier. We didn’t believe him for a second, but since the barrier was down now, we kinda didn’t have a choice. Either stay here and have someone eventually question why there was a smoking tank in the Defense against the Dark Arts room, or try to sneak through the halls to the Headmaster’s office. We chose option twoOur trip up to the office wasn’t even that bad all things considered, which should have been a clue to us something was up. We barely saw anyone, and Neville’s map had come in handy when it came to dodging the one or two Death Eaters roaming the halls. In theory, it was currently past curfew so everyone was locked in the dorm rooms and the teachers kept in their living quarters, but of course our twins were allowed anywhere, granted with no wands and three seasoned snipers watching them. Of course the twins didn’t know that of the said snipers, only one had a chance for a good shot. Sharp and Neville helped us avoid anyone, with Patrick acting as our last resort distraction to anyone looking too closely. Thankfully we only had to use him once, and it was embarrassing for all parties. Somehow we avoided detection after that and got to the spiral staircase.

Know what I want to see in future sets? Battle Creatures.The idea being that unlike Siege subtypes types, the caster maintains control of the creature and it transforms after taking X cumulative damage.
We need more art depicting dragons having gay sex to save Magic.

>>96946222>and if clan status is subjective, are there any clans that don't consider the validity of status of other clans?there are several lines that might be "clans" or considered themselves to be a clan but don't have the numbers to back them up:acording to the Ravnos and Gangrel the Lhiannan are a clan that originated in india with them but betrayed them in their war against the kuei jin but they don't have the numbers so most vamps don't even know they exist and those who do think of them as a irish druid gangrel bloodlinethe baali considered themselves a clan but they kinda go their shit beaten in by the rest of undead kind 3 or 4 timesthe laibon consider the clans to just be bloodlines while the european kindred (that are aware of them) consider the legacies to be the bloodlines. exception being the setites who both consider to be a clan of untrustworthy snake cultists, but setites themselves lean towards clans instead of legacies being the true major bloodlines of kindred kindthe sabbat considers both city and country gangrel to be equally gangrel while most others consider city gangrel to be a bloodline and the true black hand for some reason considers city gangrel to be aborminations who abbandoned the way of their clan founder despite being fine with other bloodlinesdue to some weirdness involving some asian vampires who been printed before kote came out it was retconned that, at least before the great leap outwards, cainites assumed that bushi and gaki are weird asian clans while the kuei jin in turn don't know about the clans and think that cainites belong to 7 weird western dharmas
Is there a spider themed vampire bloodline/clan? It'd be cool to see some spiders vampires that create poison & maybe blood webs
>>96947420vtm has Akunanse and vtr has the Malocusianwho are very different takes on the spider vampire theme

Writing General: 'library' editionWelcome to /wg/, the thread for all /tg/ related writing. Whether you're plotting your campaign, trying to come up with a character backstory, or just trying to write some setting fluff, this is the place to post it. You don't even have a campaign, just an idea you want to develop? You're welcome here. While the rest of /tg/ is arguing over monstergirl mating and which way rivers are supposed to flow, we're here to help you turn your thoughts into an actual finished product.As the successor to the Storythreads, we're also open to /tg/ related fanfiction (D&D, Warhammer, Battletech, whatever). In fact, if you've written any vaguely /tg/-related short stories, you can try them out here. We also have flash-fiction challenges from time to time.There's a discord for writers herehttps://discord.gg/6AwKHGFThe previous thread can still be found in the archive here>>96042773And finally an archive of /tg/ fiction can be found here:http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (dead link, but may be resurrected one day)https://2d4chan.org/wiki/Storythread (page missing, wiki still up)Comment too long.

>>96929999On the one hand, they are immortal now. I don't see why they wouldn't be happy with that if they volunteered to get immortality. Maybe they just think that all the downsides are worth it and humanity really would be better off as machines.On the other hand, maybe the transference isn't perfect and now they're just missing the part of their mind that would have recognised that the antagonist isn't a good guy.

>>96644454In the distant future, a corporation "won" the corpo race and created a near global monopoly and a hyper intelligent AI. However as the 8 original board members gain more and more power, they become paranoid, fearing that one day, someone would appear and made them face justice. Their paranoia caused them to commit an unspeakable crime. Using all the technologies available to them, they shot down all the satellite in the sky and ascended in a space rigged, manned by a hyper intelligent AI that was supposed to run their corporation. The AI's goal is to maintain life support and keep them immortal. From their throne in the sky, they rain down nuclear holocaust, reducing human back to the stone age, ensuring that no one would be able to pull them off their ascended sky throne. However as the age passes, a clear problem arises. Mankind wasn't supposed to live forever. A few of the 8 wanted to die, but the hyper intelligent AI can't allow that to happen. This the culling game started every 100 years in the hope that it will give them back the ruthlessness that they crave. Every 100 years, the AI will choose a region of the world, still populated by primitive human, and then it will force them to kill eachother until only one survives. The killing will be live broadcasted into the board members brain implants, hoping that it will stir them. Still, this measure only work for a time. To up the excitement, the AI found a perfect solution. By temporarily erasing the memories of the original 8, and upload their mind to spare bodies that participate in the culling, it manages to keep the 8 members entertained and engaged for a long, long time. So, as we speak, as the culling is happening in the world, "Gods" might also be participating in the upheaval...Though perhaps without their memories of their later years, those people would be completely different from what anyone expected. And maybe, they hold the key to the salvation of the human race

>>96937512>>96938771The campaign in question is ancient and long over, though I believe the artist has drawn more pictures of the characters than just those. Kachi (the broodmother) at least has a bunch of pictures, some even made long after the campaign ended, since I think that was actually the artist's character in the campaign.The artist is Cross-Crescent, who'se done a lot of Maiesta (and pregnancy in general art). He and Verdazin did the original art for all the classes.
