>YFW your players compliment your worldbuilding after yet another exhilarating plot twist, not knowing that you've spent the last year and a half smashing various historical events together like a preteen playing with action figures.

I love being the GM!

What are you guys ripping off to create your games?
>>
>>93374358
Sword and Sorcery stories and other weird fiction since I know my players don't read.

Some of my... let's say late night research.

Running games for people who never paid attention in history class is fucking wild.

"W-what do you mean the revolutionaries are massacring people? WHAT THE FUCK'S A REIGN OF TERROR!?"

I'm gonna have a Hell of a lot of fun with that when I run my Vampire: the Masquerade game in 1912 and the players need to cross from Britain to New York.

Agenda of my players...

>MFW my players know that I've been outright stealing shit and filing off the numbers
>MFW they still had a blast
It's not about what you use it's how you use it. Play to your group's shared autistic foci and watch them praise you for just outright ripping off your favorite shows movies or books and changing like a couple of things to fit the setting.

This guy gets it
Everyone else is a faggot

>his players compliment him
my players have a running joke where they call everything I do bad even if they like it

This might be the right thread! I need alternative, fictional -- although historically and regionally appropriate -- names for the kingdoms of West, Middle, and East Francia. Can you folks please help me out with some suggestions?

>smashing various historical events together
I'll be the first to say that IS good worldbuilding if you know what you're doing.
>>
>>93374400
having players that don't read is a blessing and a curse
>>
>>93374430
Fine, I'll ask. This could be anything. What is it?
>>
>>93379887
How about Neustria for Western?
>>
>>93382781
That could work!
>>
>>93379556
My table has recently started calling any roll with a 1 in it, regardless of mods or other dice rolled, a bad roll. It is extremely funny and I love playing with them.
>>
>>93382781
And Austrasia for the East?
>>
>>93374358
>What are you guys ripping off to create your games?
LOTR and various isekai anime for a parody joke setting.
>>
>>93391043
Or Ostrike.
>>
>>93374358
>What are you guys ripping off to create your games?
Your campaign specifically.

You rang?

>>93374358
I use my favourite plots from video games I know they haven't played and add all the details I think they should have had.
My players are currently foot soldiers in the Dragon Campaign from Legend of Dragoon and have no idea because I changed the names slightly
>>
>>93374602
I hope they have an ice time with that game

>>93374358
My go to is the Aarne-Thomson-Uther index but I'm a low-to-mid level specialist.

>>93382154
It is a content warning page
on a hentai site
>>
>>93374525
>Your players side with the revolutionaries because yeah the king WAS being a dick
>>
>>93379887
Wendia/Wendland for east Francia.
>>
>>93379556
I don't get it
