My autistic player made a tierlist of how likely he is to get betrayed by NPCs and other PCs.Is this my sign to ease up on the betrayals? This level of paranoia can't be healthy for either him or the game.
>>96587568the brain of one who has been gotcha'd by one too many GMsfunny to see a bunch of art pieces I've used for NPCs in my own games
>Is this my sign to ease up on the betrayals? This level of paranoia can't be healthy for either him or the game.Well, is it supposed to be generic fantasy dungeoncrawling or a Machiavellian GoT-wannabe? It's worryingly paranoid if you're aiming for a Saturday morning cartoon feel, but worryingly trusting if you're playing fantasy Paranoia.Also that's a fuckload of characters.
>>96587568>Your players expect any of the NPC's to not to stab them in the back given a half chance for a nickleAnon you're too easy on your players
>>96588065Which ones and what were they like in your games, I'm curious.
>>96589248there's several that are one-off NPCs, like the woman 3rd into "no reason" was a player's motherof the ones I can remember as being semi significantthe chick with the pitchfork in 'no reason' was the disguise of a succubus the party tamed (the obligate man-eating monster kind, not the temptation demon kind)helmet man at the end of 'using from the start' was an evil priest that injected himself with the blood of a dead god for superpowers (it ended up taking over his body and using him as a puppet)big turban lad 3rd from the end was a caravan boss that hired the party as spies/bodyguards for his daughter
>humblebraggingOP is a faggot.
>>96587568you made this upthere's no way you have that many npcs that are in depth enough to bother remember anything about them
>>96591268Correct, I have 10 times more. These are just the ones the players spared, bothered interacting at length with, and invited to join their factions.Though the depth sometimes caps at "this guard was smart enough to not fight the party so they decided to adopt him and ask me for his name and backstory."
>>96587568>That kid in the honestly surprised it hasn't happened yetIs the kid that suspicious or is the player just a schizo
>>96592263The latter. The kid was just a pickpocket in the first city. The party is now level 15 and each PC leads their own massive organisation embroiled in world-altering geopolitics....and the player's reasoning is "the kid didn't show up in a while, that's making me suspicious."
>>96587568I recognize many of these artworks.

No one ever believes the paranoid schizo, but they always end up being right.If you aren't killing every NPC after they've outlived their usefulness, you're doing it wrong.
Where do you get all this art?
>>96587568>>96588065>>96598447Yeah how do you collect and organize all the character art that went into this diagram, OP. I recognize a lot but not all and kinda want to use some of the others.

>>96602687Collected over a decade from /tg/, Pinterest, Artstation, etc. >>96605782I have them in folders per faction or location, and a separate Discord channel where I have the portraits, names, and short descriptions of every character so that the players can remember them and look them up when needed.
>>96606727Andrei Shishkin Slavic myth art is kino tbhdesu. Based boomer uploading his art to a personal website like it's the 90s >>83812843 >>66896810 https://a-shishkin.ru/
>>96607439Some of the artists, like this picture for ants here, deactivated their accounts and took the art down, so you may have the last copies on the internet. Want to reshare some.
Weebs have a thriving community of exhaustively uploading and meticulously cataloging and tagging art from Pixiv & Twitter over on Danbooru. Is there no equivalent for Western art?Is no one obsessive enough and organized enough to keep up with the art output?
