Do goth aesthetics exist in your game and/or setting?
No, because just about everything is in my mind's eye, making it phantasia, not aesthetic.An aesthetic is something anyone could see.
>>98000826Traditional games?
>>98000871>>98000917Do goth phantasias exist in your traditional games and/or settings?
>>98000930Only when I feel like it.
>>98000917Settings.
Settings.
Game, Setting, Match!
>>98001131No, no games. Only settings.
>>98001417Delicious pepperoni.
>>98000826>pale skinYes, multiple races have this.>black hair Yes, multiple races have this.>big titsYes multiple men playing the setting have this.>spider web stockings and fishnetsYes, multiple races have this.>attends country raves while dancing to weird musicNo one in my setting has this.
>>98000826I like using them for demons and practitioners of the occult.Pic semi-related. In the first encounter my party ever had with this character, they thought she was hot (but didn't outright say it) and encouraged her to travel with them, despite seeing that she was accompanied by undead and playing with a corpse before they arrived
>>98000826Why aren’t there more peppy necromancers who wear bright colors? It seems like they’re always goths like picrel. Also, please post more female necromancer pics.
>>98000826Only for the most powerful. General rule being if someone looks absolutely retarded, they're probably some sort of caster so you should fuck off away from them.
>>98000826Does setting worldbuilding exist in your world game? How do your group players engage with game world setbuilding? Be detailed and specific.
>>98004710It's a video game, but there's a character in Yggdra Union who is dressed like a priest/pope who's a Necromancer.You also happen to kill him in cold blood, because his sect is being pushed by the Bronquian Empire to prevent Yggdra's coronation ceremony.It's the only place I've seen this subversion, but in the medium of TTRPGs, you're allowed to do whatever you want.
>>98004710Necromancers who clearly have a lust for life are underrated. It's a common thing in fiction for the practice or perfection of necromancy to reduce your sense of "living", with the ultimate example probably being the lich who has unparalleled arcane might but loses a sense of taste, touch, etc. and cuts off his emotions.I think the reverse is also fine. Like when you have a joyful necromancer, a sexy one, a fat one, someone who clearly indulges in the vices of the living. I think it magnifies the sense of disgrace and slavery from them controlling souls or creatures who have lost the ability to indulge in these things. I don't even mind this body positivity one from MtG.
>>98000826My setting is the fall of the Roman Empire of course I have goths.
>>98004812>BRING ME HIS HEAD!>...And two baconators extra cheese and bacon, two biggie fries, a large frostee, and a large diet coke!
>>98005065Villains should have a little bit of character, even if it's goofy.
>>98000917Lurk more/tg/ isn't just for traditional games.
I don't know anyone other than myself who has ever had a commissioned piece of art for their character. I have no idea how the other players i've played with visualize there characters.
Something that doesn't have an aesthetic would be literally nonexistent.
>>98004733JoJo logic
>>98004812Fatties make good villains. The fact they're fat is an instant visual indicator that they have morally failed as a human being.
>>98005246Where are the traditional games then?
>>98005246Yes it is.
>>98000826Depends on the game. OWoD: obviously Cthulhu Invictus: yes, but wrong kind of gothWHFRP: yesBRP Dinotopia for my 12 year old nephew and his friends: no
I have gothic-lolitas, actually, or fashion similar to that in my space opera.>>98006954>BRP Dinotopia for my 12 year old nephew and his friends: noI want to know more

>>98000826I'm an old goth and it influences my games, sure. Can I just say: lovin' that your generation has decided it's time for another goth revival. Kinda wish you guys'd get over the "it means girls w/ big tits" thing. But there've been some great, new goth bands in the last four or five years, so good job.
>>98007060Oops, forgot my pic.
>>98000871Fpbp
>>98007060Straight men love big tits on fit and beautiful women.Get the fuck over it.
>>98004812This is why Urgathoa is the best Goddess.
I'd posting an image of my makeup but I'm not doxxing myself on a vietnamese crab trapping forum.
>>98007749Weirdly defensive overreaction towards a perceived attack on your apparently-fragile masculinity. My point was just that there's more to goth than just the feelings in your little pecker.
>>98006895No it isn't./tg/ is for fantasy and scifi discussion in general.
>>98000917>/tg/ is pretty much completely un-moderated and un-janny'd these days>shitty threads can stay up for weeks>retards use this to almost exclusively spam stupid nogames shit and inane, pointless questions just so they can trade insults with other anons while pretending that they really care about /tg/
>>98008650My point is nobody cares how much a limp-wristed little faggot wants people to stop liking tits.
>>98010150I've never seen sci-fi discussion here for the decades I've used this board.
>>98000826My last big campaign was basically just an excuse to mix together Bloodborne with ideas I stole from a horror podcast. Yeah, goth is the name of the game..
>>98010241My point is you can't read and are hyper-defensive about your apparently-fragile sense of masculinity, because no one asked you to.
>>98010244Lurk moar? Seriously man, there are 4 threads currently up on the topic.
>>98010955Those are just fantasy.
>>98011182Oooooh you're one of these confused folks. Science fiction is speculative fiction that deals with the theoretical implications of supposed technilogical or scientific principles, discoveries or advancements. So, for instance, you could explore "what would a truly marxist society look like if it actually followed exactly the description by Marx?" And it'd be a scifi story even if it had... let's just say for random example... faster than light travel called "warp drives" and aliens who were just regular people with a buncha shit glued to their face. Because scifi isn't "exacting precision and application of scientific principles in all respects." It's speculative fiction exploring something. And it can handwave any of the things it's not exploring.
>>98011211Cool story.Fantasy is the faculty or activity of imagining, especially things that are impossible or improbable, so there's no need to call something that's fantasy anything other than fantasy.No need to reinvent the wheel, after all.It doesn't make you look cultured, it doesn't make you seem important, and it doesn't demonstrate functional knowledge, you pretentious faggot.
>>98011269Genres are conventions, anon. I explained what the convention of "Science Fiction" refers to. I'm sorry you're confused because you want to be the sole arbiter of what words "should" mean. You're not. Consensus is. That's how language works. Grow up and read?
>>98011308>I will continue to be pretentious even after being called out for itCarry on, then.I'm sure someone cares that your space wizards and lasers totally trump the dragons and fireballs of the dirty proletariat.
>>98011386>Let me redefine words when I want to or I'll call you names!Lol. Sorry you're retarded.
>>98008650Ironic.
>>98011638
Ironic.
>>98011308Your explanation was wrong. Hope this helps.
