A thread to discuss the lore of Mortal Kombat and what can be done for the mechanics of a PnP roleplaying game based on the setting.
A few of us at the Mortal Kombat Konquest thread have tossed around some ideas but this is a thread dedicated solely to talking about the lore and gameplay for a system.
I'd like to propose the first topic before we move onto a few others: Mortal Kombat characters are durable. Very, very, very durable. Cracked bones, fireballs to the face, swords to the gut, snapped spines, broken skulls, shattered jaws, acid in the face--they...

That's a tough question. The argument can be made that X-Rays and the extreme levels of character model damage seen in MK9 like ripped off eyelids actually don't canonically occur since the worst wounds we ever see in the story mode cutscenes, besides the obviously lethal ones, are bruises to the face.
...But if you're playing an MK game, you want to be able to do the fun and famous moves.

I myself coud and did give 2 different reasons for that.
>The worlds strongest
To be a Mortal Kombatant one already has to be extraordinary even among their own kind.
>The balance of the realms
The very moment a Mortal Kombat tournament is announced, the Elder Gods witness every fight. The energies that hold the realms together get involved, and each paricipant feels the influence of that. Becoming real destroyers, mighty representatives of their...

Becoming real destroyers, mighty representatives of their world trough the duration of the tournament, and some effects still linger afterwards. The Champion who wins the tournament, feels this effect the most, becoming immortal while he reigns supreme.
I could get behind this. Mortal...

Your GM tells you to make a character embodying your magical realm right now. What do you make?The twist is that it's not ERP. Your GM wants you to make a viable character concept that can be used in a normal game without it being ERP or blatantly obvious.

A human (bard, other personable character type) who's always hitting on members of other sapient species largely regardless of how strange-looking they get. I'm ready to accept them getting comically shot down significantly more often than they get by on sheer charisma.

It's been a week since you were taken under Master Tikran's wing formally, the woman continuing to train you in the ways of the Force and in lightsaber combat. Every day you've been growing by leaps and bounds, many in the Academy are concerned or amazed with how fast you've actually been developing your skills, wondering just what you really are. From a new Apprentice to an actual Padawan within two weeks of coming to the Academy, it's practically unheard of, the process normally taking months, if not years to be made official.

"Zev, don't be so eager to be agressive. Makashi is about control and swiftness, let your enemy make the mistakes. Renari, you need to focus on more deft strikes, Djem So is a powerful form, but you can't allow yourself to be left open." The Zabrak says with his arms crossed.
It's been like this for the past two days, the two of you training under Master Vesu. Renari hasn't been officially taken on by Tikran yet, not like you were, but from the way the woman was speaking, it wouldn't...

"Most people have wards." Elza explains. "It protects them from just about anything. But, in his infinite wisdom, Thomahar the God of Magic made it so that wards will not exclude things vital for survival. So a basic ward will allow air to flow in and out, light to reach you, gravity will still have an effect. This spell right here will allow one to get past a ward using these weaknesses. It allows you to gather up the air around you and launch it at an opponent. Now, variations of this spell can be used for all kinds of things. Who can give me a variation?"Comment too long.

“Yeah,” you say cautiously, eyeballing the skimpy clothes she picked out for Willie. You can't imagine Little Miss Band-Aids and Braid wearing *anything* like that and not melting into a puddle of embarrassment on the spot. “How about... no.”
Shimakaze pouts at you. “Maybe later? She could be *ever* so fast-”

“Sendai...”
“Yes, Admiral?”
“Have you ever heard of radar?”
Sendai's face falls faster than Trump's poll numbers. “T-the abyssals h-haven't had radar so far-”
You hear Hamp's smirk; a kind of rustling of lips against his Starbucks lid as his mouth shifts. “Yeah, how long do you expect that to last?”
Sendai draws herself up to her full height - which is even less than usual, given the exaggerated effect of your optics....

“Not all radars can lay guns!”
“They don't have to, as long as they show you where to look, and where to send the star-shells. Effective five-inch range is a bit further than effective torpedo range, even with Long Lances.”
Sendai's mouth goes all wavy as her composure buckles at last. You see her eyes glistening with barely-restrained tears before she closes them again, her shoulders slumping with defeat as she heaves a bitter, stoic sigh into the mic.
“T-there's no helping it...” she says faintly, dropping to her knees, head...

Through determination, magnificent application of superior technology, and unwavering courage, the Tau defied the odds and the overwhelming might of the Imperium. Upon Mu’gulath Bay, the Imperial scum were once again broken and sent fleeing back to their Emperor. It would have been a great and decisive victory for the Empire but alas.....
The Imperials, refusing to graciously accept their defeat, have enacted the unthinkable. They unleashed a weapon of mass destruction on Mu’gulath Bay. The world was set to blaze. Millions of Tau died alongside the surviving Imperial...

You still haven't actually spent a night in your own room since you got here, only stopping by to pick up the outfit that was waiting for you. The street clothes you came here in are nice, and you aren't giving them up, but Master Tikran was rather adament that you at least try to blend in a little bit, rather than going full force with how... 'unique' you are compared to the rest of the students at the Academy. Really though the woman has been a great help to you, she's not officially taken...

Standing atop the great staircase in the middle of the Academy, Renari is standing at your side as the two of you look up at the incredibly large door in front of you. It seems as though it was carved out of a special sort of stone and would be incredibly heavy to even attempt to move... though considering the Jedi are the Jedi, that could be intentional. No better way to discourage someone from intruding than to make it so they literally can't unless they have the power to move this sort of thing out of the way.

When all the bouts were finished, the Grand Master dismissed the gathering of Jedi and Apprentices to announce that dinner would be served shortly, and that you would be free to eat alone if you so chose. This was when the redheaded girl from earlier once more caught your attention, as the two of you ended up as some of the few stragglers to the rest of the group, looking much calmer than she did earlier, the girl locked eyes with you and thumbed back towards the Academy, nodding her head as though she wanted you...

Nothing personnel kid
Putting together a jungle-themed undead army for KoW, mostly because all of my years of playing Fantasy I've never seen any undead themed undead besides the Zombie Pirates for Lustria (and those could be anywhere).
I'm looking for a few things.
A. Eagle helmets like seen in this picture. The closest I can find is some Mayan warrior, and that's just a bunch of feathers with a beak.
Another eagle helm.
B. Jungle plants that don't look like plastic vomit, even if it's a tutorial to put them together. I've seen a lot of people with jungle terrain, but the only good ones are some project on CMON (Welcome to the Jungle) and terrain by a professional terrain company. I want to do basing kind of like this though.
More basing.
