Hey, it’s been a while since anyone’s talked about Maiesta here, what does /tg/ actually think of it? Both mechanically and in terms of the setting?
goonslop for nogames
Are there really people gathering with other fatbeards to play a pregnancy fetish RPG?
>>97463373I've never played the game myself, I just use it as an excuse to fetishpost on /tg/
fetish shit
>>97463340post the pdf
>>97463340I played in a Maiesta game last year. It's a solid system, though I think the custom dice are kind of pointless since you could replicate the same probability distribution with normal dice, or you could just describe it as rolling with -2,+0, or +2, so I wouldn't have to remember what kind of roll was gold die again. I do like how the classes are built to have synergy with different abilities and a large amount of ability choices that can affect how you play them. Though the veteran class xp requirements are way too high: I've barely heard anybody having played in a campaign that actually lasted long enough to reach the required xp level (in the campaign I played in I did end up fulfilling all the other requirements for the VC I would have taken, but the campaign wrapped up before I had enough xp. Granted, our GM was rather stingy with handing out xp).Outside of the pregnancy fetish aspect, there's not really that much to write home about, but the fact that it's actually a mechanically solid and reasonably well thought out RPG that's also a fetish game is remarkable when you look at most other games in that "genre".

This thread is no match for my +4 vorpal coathanger
>>97465118>least organic necrobump
>>97465138I'm proud of my shitpost.I wanted you to see it.
>>97463369doing a little evading are we?
>>97463340It IS fetish material.But fetish games, so long as everyone shares the fetish, can actually be very good games as everyone's invested and attentive.I got 2/3rds the way through re-writing it to run 1920's cthullu-esque horror games, which sustained the last thread.
>>97465149It's ok anon, I appreciated it.
>>97463340>MaiestaYour last thread lasted over three months thanks to necrobumping. What is even left to discuss?
>>97465118The heck makes a weapon “vorpal”?
>>97465717That was a cool concept. Do you still plan to finish it?Tbh I mostly wanted to make a post because last thread somebody asked if I was planning on drawing the rest of my group's characters after sharing the picture I did of my character, and I had in fact promised the other players that I'd draw the party at some point but the thread fell off before I could finish it. So in case anybody still cares, I wanted to share the final result. Even if I think it did end up looking a bit wonky in parts.
>>97470029Magically anomalous ability to decapitate or sever appendages and heads from erstwhile bodies.Think "5% chance to decapitate on hit", supre-crits, that sorta thing.
>>97472447Huh. Where did Carrol get the term I wonder?
>>97474969The whole poem is a bunch of nonsense words that you can just sort-of put together the meaning of from the context. That's the whole point of it. Funnily enough, some of the made-up words have since entered the proper lexicon, like guffaw as synonym to laughter. In case of the original poem, vorpal is used as an adjective to describe a sword. In the context it probably just means sharp or something, but since it cut off the Jabberwock's head in a single swing, it got later used in DnD as the name for a enchantment that gave the weapon a chance to decapitate the enemy.
QRD?
>>97463340What is your favorite class and why? I like minions, so you can probably guess for me.Also, are there any class archetypes/potential sub-classes that you feel are missing, and if so, what are they, and how would you handle them lore-wise?
>>97463340why did someone make this thread again...
>>97484118It's bumpfag. He isn't capable of human-level thought, he's more like a paramecium.>>97483139>>97483360>>97483400
>>97465118Won't work, you are trying to remove spirits which lack body parts.
I don't think it has been, since I remember you posting a thread 2 months ago.
>>97488172keep in mind that thread was also up for one hundred fucking days. Nearly a third of a year of this shitting up the catalogue.
>>97463340What AU settings would you create for Maiesta and how would you change things for them? I like the idea of a version of the setting where Maiesta are in the history of our world as avatars of fertility deities, their inhuman forms the result of gaining their powers in the case of the non-human options.
>>97488975Looks like we're going a repeat of that, OP waited till page 10 to post this >>97492493 question.And of course jannies won't do their job and ban the spammer.
>>97480138>QRD?What does that even mean?

>>97498074Schizo, take your meds.
>>97501883Nobody wants your trash fetish rot in the catalogue for another three months.
>>97470447I do.I'd like to get people together to try it out sometime, but I'm a bit busy these next few weeks sadly.
>>97502124Sorry to hear that. Would you prefer to make a new thread yourself when you’re done with it?
What is Maiesta?
>>97505894I might just do that. But I've also got a long list of games I want to GM, and enough hobbies that I can probably only manage one or two.Still, this one received interest, and I'm fond of the concept.>>97508742To segue shamelessly, the Cthullu-maiesta rewrite fixed the issue of "why would you ever get rid of one", by the fact that they're incredibly dangerous.And also reigns the fetish back with some horror.You get great power with each one, but living with an extension of an extradimensional outer god from beyond this reality inside you, is brutal. And getting them out can be lethally dangerous even under the best of conditions. You HOPE that if something goes wrong, you're lucky enough to just die.
>>97509836Huh, why did that one post get deleted?
>>97514348Suspiciously timed post
>>97514351How would you sum up Maiesta?
>>97518724Worthless shit necrobumped for three months.Fuck off.
>>97470447Thanks for the art! Who are the party members?
>>97518724Homemade system about not-magical-girls who get special powers from carrying spirit pregnancies, as well as a couple pregnancy-adjacent complications and quirks.It's absolutely a fetish game and setting, but the mechanics are actually decent and straddles the line between too simple and over bloated pretty well, albeit featuring some things like 'birthing' that don't have any mechanical incentive.
>>97521796>albeit featuring some things like 'birthing' that don't have any mechanical incentive.How would you give them a mechanical incentive then?
>>97523926The issue is that since the amount of gravs you carry directly correlates with your power (gravitas, the mana-equivalent that's used as a resource to a lot of abilities, is partially determined by the amount of gravs you have), there's never an incentive to actually birth your gravs. Or if you do, the GM will probably just have to handwave you getting a replacement more or less instantly. I feel what could work would be to grant you a sizeable xp gain or a free ability boost for incarnating a grav, but also make it so you have to fulfill specific requirements to do it so you couldn't cheese the system for free buffs.
>>97465118Now I can't stop thinking of monsters made of things like coathangers, lol.
>>97530218Kill yourself, necrobumper.
>>97530218Isn’t there one supervillain with a metallic form like that, but more deadly? But seriously, a wire and hook monster seems like a nightmare to fight.
Why can't we have normal pregnant women? Why does it have to be grotesque?
>>97536819As the Cthullhu'maiesta 'dev'.>There's no mechanical incentive to literal pregnancy in a ttrpg.>Supernatural is fun.>Erotica and horror always works REALLY well together.>Fetishes and horror also always work REALLY well together (and yes, there's a difference between 'fetish', and 'erotic', though tbf they do overlap a lot in modern use.)>Especially if it's a perversion of something considered beautiful and vulnerable too, ala pregnancy (Alien/Aliens, the last of us etc etc)>People like the Cthullhu mythos for its themes of Noir and occult outerworld lore.>Maiesta needs a mechanical reason to want to not be pregnant with the thing that gives you superpowers (IE, it makes decent life hard, and could kill you).Fetish games work best when the fetish is worked into the core of the setting instead of just tacked on, and there's more elements to the game than just the fetish.
>>97533465>>97536819Suspiciously timed posts
>>97536819Maiesta's normal style tends more toward noblebright fantasy than anything. You need some kind of justification why the player characters are all pregnant, though, hence the thing about carrying spirits in your womb so they can incarnate into physical forms being the main way for people to use magic in the setting.
>>97463369>goonslopayo ts nibba speakin strait fax on skib :high_five:
Bump
I had somehow similar ideas but with male pregnancy gay omegaverse setting where male gay sex leads to short 3-7 days pregnancy with a spirit (the kind of which depends on zodiac signs of parents, bitches love this shit) and then this spirit can be used for pokemon-like battles in gaysex magic Hogwarts.
>>97548018I would unironically play this.
>>97548105No you wouldn't
>>97548105Same tbqh. Looks fun.
>>97463340>TTRPG based around a pregnancy fetish.Is it possible to do this, but with other fetishes?
>>97550224But you don't play games, bumpfag.
>>97550224Like what? There's a bunch of ERP games out there. You're probably better off looking in the thread, to be honest.
>>97550224Like what? You need to be more specific.
This isa good thread. Babybump.
>>97561906And a bump to you too.
