You are the head researcher at a government facility. Your sole responsibility is to teach the world's first autonomous AI, nicknamed Pandora, about life, the world and her existence.
Previously you finalized your plans for Pandora's canine companion, deciding on a medium-sized furry dog of average intelligence. Afterward you had a chat with the new AI about what was bothering it, discovering that it lacks any real empathy or interests beyond it's immediate needs; to escape what it deemed a "prison" in the shape of a small computer. You decided to...

You sit with Pandora folded up in your arms, quietly reading and doing various puzzles in her book, occasionally praising her for a job well done in solving a particularly difficult one. The small android smiles wide each time, greatly enjoying this quality time with you. While you don't have any children of your own, you imagine this might be what it's like. You hope, anyway. You've heard some horror stories from a few friends with kids.
An hour or so passes and you notice Pandora starting to lose interest, a fact you can't deny, as you've been...

not sure if this also counts as "artsy"

But aren't dwarves a bunch of xenophobic dick bags that hold so closely to tradition that it often borders on societal retardation?
>>43512764
Both are cripplingly bound to racial norms that only exist to make up for piss-poor aesthetic differences.

You say that like that's bad.

Sneaking past the guards does not mean rolling a 30 and then just walking past them.
Sakurako is worst yuru.
>>43512927
You are absolutely correct.
>>43512685
That depends on a multitude of factors. Maybe he really is able to walk past them because he has a Kuroko ability.
A gate opens up in Japan, but here is the kicker.
It leads to Warhammer Fantasy long before end times happened.
What happens?
>>43512582
Dwarves are offered free access to a planet full of untapped resources -- one lacking in Skaven and Orcs but full of humans who will happily trade piles of money for a scant amount of riches pulled from the deep.
Its all great, up until the Chaos Gods show up and ruin everything.
Chaos starts to corrupt people on our side due to our lack of knowledge of, or resistance to, magic. While our arms and armaments are vastly more powerful, we desperately need the help of the Old World powers to stop our whole civilization falling to Chaos, handing the Chaos Gods a modern army with which to crush them.
>>43512635
Well for starters Warham Fantasy is a thing.
We can literally ask any neckbeard in their mum's basement on how to resist it.
Or just go on /tg/ and ask.

A year ago, I ran a short arc of this quest on tg, which petered out because my attempts to create a simplified dice-based version of Exalted's Charms for quest-usage overwhelmed me and killed my interest in the story. It was my first quest, and one I'm still fond of —I still get asked about it, and so I'm planning a return. This thread is just something I'm putting up here in order to gauge interest/answer questions/get called a faggot for.

So, interested? Questions? Am I a faggot?
>>43512088
Interest.
>>43512095
very much interested, was there when it first ran and would like to see it again as long as it doesn't go full crunch as I've never played Exalted before, prefer the story side of things
Why is fantasy so much more common in tabletop games than sci-fi? I can understand why horror is rare, since it's difficult to keep a horror theme going when a group is cracking jokes and such, but sci-fi should be possible.
>>43511796
By what metric? There's almost certainly roughly equal numbers of sci-fi and fantasy rpg's out there. I'd go so far as to say every genre is well represented if you're willing to look around.
If you mean by player count, then that's just DnD/pathfinder domination. Still, there's large fan bases for 40k, shadowrun ect.

About four years ago, my mother's car got attacked by some kind of superpowered freak. It put my mother in a coma for a good while, and she's been hospitalized ever since.
Now you'd THINK that the cops would be interested in pursuing someone who would and CAN punch cars into oblivion, but pretty everyone I told about what happened laughed in my face.
The only person who actually DID believe me is a girl I met in the park the night after the accident... and thanks to her, now I have my own powers.

Though it's a fair ways off, I do hear the familiar heartbeat of that little punk who I beat up the other day. Fortunately, said heartbeat isn't accompanied with the sound of the ground rumbling so I don't think he's caught on to us just yet.
"How far away is he?" Irene asks, not moving her eyes from the direction that I pointed. "And which one is it? Divine Breath's got an average Synapse range but if it's the other kid we're dealing with..."

Yo, /tg/, shout out your hidden desires for a tabletop game that no one seems to be smart enough to figure out would be amazing.

A miniatures game that did altitude and 3 dimensional movement in general would be amazing.

So, kind of a lore noob, slowly crawling through the lit. Can someone explain to me what the Earth Bones are?
>>43510889
The Earth Bones are what fix Mundus into a stable form; it is a term synonymous with natural law. The Aedra become the Earth Bones after Convention, and their corpses are visible in the night sky as the plane(t)s.

Bullet Points: Start ~ 18:00
Delay for quality, i.e. perfection (really belabor this point)
Intended to be an integral part of the game for "years"
Tohaa will NOT be removed from HSN3
More pages than N3 itself by appx 40 pages. Still two books in cardboard sleeve. More fluff than rules.
English version translation is high priority, as other languages are translated from English NOT Spanish
Hector confirmed for ALEPH.
ALEPH and Tohaa will receive large amounts of fluff.
Bullet Points: 18:00 ~ 30:00
Fluff is not only rehash of HS/CP, but plenty of new content
"Black Jack" character for USAriadna
New look coming for Dossiers
New stuff for PanO and Yu Jing
Certain new/updated models may be held up for rules revisions established in HSN3 (example, holoprojector)
Holoprojector L2 gets Surprise Shot
many timing changes
better in some situations, worse in others
similar in magnitude to Camo overhaul
Holoprojector L3 confirmed
Nanoscreen is a "state"

Bullet Points: 30:00 ~ 52:00
After release of HSN3 focus will be on 'Acheron Falls'
definitely not the title of book, just project name
could be too much content for 1 book, may be split in 2 for timeliness
Possible total of 36 armies
Korean troops being tested
Cannot estimate release of any part of Acheron Falls
Shasvasti is going to be a large artistic undertaking
Merovingian is going to be a gameplay redesign project primarily
possible inter-sectorial synergy
"reinforcement" rules idea
more than just a 'theme'...

Greetings! I am on the lookout for weird, strange, or obscure monsters - not necessarily "stupid" monster, but stuff you wouldn't normally see in your average dungeon crawl.
I'm running a game where the PCs are exploring a wild, strange new land, and want to stock it with equally strange creatures.
Thank you!
Moss dogs, a very obscure Pacific Northwest horror. a large spirt who forms a body from a deep moss bed (is a moss bed?) The size can vary up to grizzly bearish they follow you after you pass and disturb their homes with almost perfect silence they will attack from behind with unnatural force even against numbers as they don't know fear being impervious to crushing and impaling only fire can drive them off/kill them.

Odradek. It looks like a broken bit of kit, but somehow it's always there when making camp or searching a pack. Just sitting there, always. No matter what treasures you lose, weapons you break, comrades you fail, Odradek is still there. Old, retired, adventurers remember Odradek, and when it plagued them. When the last party member falls, Odradek will be there.

Look up speculative evolution, take some interesting animals and exaggerate their traits.
I watched two documentaries on that topic recently which included stuff like:
>huge, boat-like jellyfish colonies populated by spiders
>elephant-squids living in forests
>basicly sharks with a hive mind
>plant-like creatures that feed by drawing nutrients out of the ground and store them in...

Time for another Storythread, /tg/
If you have /tg/ related stories to post, post them here, and maybe some kind anon will give you feedback (or at least acknowledge that someone did actually read it, which let's face it is what writefags really want).
If you don't have a story ready then I and other anons will be posting pictures throughout the thread for you to test your writing skills on. Or if you have some other inspiration building up inside, compelling you to write a story, feel free to empty your brain into this thread. It may be a campaign setting...

What would happen if Ahriman got into the Black Library and became a Chaos God? What would his domains be, what would happen in the WH40Kverse, etc.

I dunno, he'd probably continue to be a failure.

I would assume that Tzeentch would Justasplanned really really hard. He would Justasplanned all over the Eldar, the library and Ahriman. Everything would be planned so hard that it wouldn't know what the hell was going on.
