>The name halfling does not mean half of a man's height, but refers to halfling's belief that their spirits are half animal
>Halfling clans wear clothes inspired by their specific spirit animal, live near them, and sometimes train them
Would this be a good take on halflings?
Wouldn't be a bad one.
>>47578414
>and sometimes train them
Instead you should maybe go for something like a spirit quest. Every single animal type has a king/god and the halflings are human-like versions of the animal. Like every species is a different version of the same creature and halflings are variations too. Their heavens are the same ones members of their species go to. So here you could have the halflings pray to the god on a specific day, each year, which brings them closer to the god. Or you could just...

Han Kalkor Draigo finally stopped using swords?
Did you ever had a succubus or half-succubus in your party? How did it go? Which role did she fill? Was she roleplayed realisticaly, or just as a random rogue with high charisma, or worst, as just a tefish outlet?
>>47572059
Closest I've done is using a half-succubus as a cambion, not the monster manual cambion but a poorly houseruled sorcerous origin. Used by a not-Merlin character in a not-Arthurian setting (a lot of original myths have Merlin as a cambion)
I'm in a post-apocalyptic fantasy game where we've acquired a pair of Succubi for our settlement.
As part of the apocalyptic events, Heaven and Hell seem to be just gone, so divine and infernal creatures suffered a serious power loss, as well as a lack of direction or central command. They're still dangerous, but they're predictable in their selfishness, so we've been making use of them as an asset.

What kind of asset? How do you make sure they cooperate?

>>47578113
Absolutely. There's actually a scene in Blood of Kings when he finds out the Empress has double crossed him and his response is.
>But she's a Morrowan!
And everyone else in the room kind of stops for a reason to try and figure that shit out, before they go back to dealing with the situation.
>>47578705
To be fair, the whole issue of Leto being too nice of a person is shown as why he's failing as a king throughout the entire book.
Do guardsmen get paid to do what they do?

I just got Dungeon World today, it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy and Gygaxian inside, coating my soul in a soothing blend of old-school-feel and modern, accessible mechanics.
Tell me about your experiences with Dungeon World! What pitfalls should I avoid in GMing? Do you have a preferred setting to apply to DW, whether it be homebrew or adapted from another game? How best to handle things like a dragon taking a turn to breathe fire or an enemy to cast a spell? (I guess I'm just a little fuzzy on when special monster moves which don't result from PC-initiated...

I got super drunk when me and my friends played maids.
Played a trap character and was laugning my ass off.everyone was taking the game seriously.
>>47568347
I've had quite a few sessions now with different players and enjoyed it thoroughly. In my analogy, DW is closer to improv theater with dice than a videogame with pen and paper.
> a dragon taking a turn
Do you mean this literally? Because there are no turns in DW.

If I have time to prepare special moves or it seems intuitive to make them up on the spot, I'll have them. But mostly this all falls into defy danger. If...

My friends and I once got drunk and stoned and roleplayed a game of Shadows Over Camelot. It's a cooperative board game about the Knights of the Round Table trying to stop the fall of Camelot to dark powers. Unfortunately, one of you might be a secret traitor. Suspicion festers in the air.
We ended up treating it more like a medieval version of "Blazing Saddles" than "The Usual Suspects" and...

My name is Cecile, and I'm sixteen years old. I already thought my life was odd, what with my parents having moved halfway across the country for their new job and leaving me in the care of my older sister... but then my best friend went and had a book shipped to my house that ended up giving me superpowers.
Thanks to said superpowers, I've been dragged into all sorts of horrible situations, the latest of which involved a masked thief who wanted revenge against me for killing a friend of his.
But now that asshole is dead (and it wasn't my fault for...

I lose track of time while Charlotte's tickling attack continues. The only thing that I can think about is how much this sucks and the only thing I can hear is my increasingly painful laughter and the only thing I can see through my glasses that are now smudged with tears is Charlotte's evil smile as she keeps on without any mercy.
But suddenly, her fingers stop and I'm once again able to breathe normally.

Out of the range of my glasses, I can make out a tall, blurry figure with green hair. Irene.

Welcome one, and I welcome you all to the tale of a world called Thespia.
Here is the odyssey of one that clings to this world with no face of their own! In a place where magic is fundamental to all of creation, from the ancient origins of Leviathan seas and behemoth lands, zephyr winds, and phoenix fires. All things in this world has a life and voice. Yet they are only heard by those that listen.
The Faceless, a being of eldritch origins, arose from the bottom of a well. Many a folk tale in Thespia says that only two things reside at the bottoms of wells, "Evil...

Cleptesse's sky remains a bit overcast after the prior night's storm. The smell of fish and a subtle hint of death lingers upon the fog that rolls in through the town through the morning, likely from the Kraken's silent visit to the city. The streets are lively as they were when you arrived late yesterday. Markets overflowing with slimy Drezhar traders and the buyers warring with them to haggle a price both parties deem a “steal.”
In some back alleys that you'd stolen away to, you...

I think you're on the wrong board, buddy.
Someone recommended Honor Harrington to me. I couldn't stand the masturbation over the military, how perfect the space British Empire is, and how perfect the main character is. Is there anything a bit better than it?
>>47568425
It's not exactly a war story, but I'd recommend Vatta's War, starting with Trading in Danger. There is a major war situation involved, but I'd classify more as a political thriller.
The Lost Fleet series by Jack Campbell is a cool space opera inspired by Xenophon's ten thousand.
Dread Empire's Fall is a great hard sci-fi space opera about an oppressive space empire that has subjugated and assimilated multiple races (including humanity) into an inversion of the Star Trek federation and the turmoil surrounding its end. All the ships are named funny things like "The bombing of New Dehli" or "Nuking of San Francisco"
>>47568425
might be a little different that what your looking for but the Lost Fleet is pretty good

Volo's Guides were literally some of the BEST 2nd Ed products, so that's not surprising they're using the title.
Seems like this is basically MM2+Monsters of Faerun, though Faerun seems to be the default in the regular MM what with Helmed Horrors chilling out there.

> New race options
> Not a single mention of kobolds

Wait, this will have froghemoths in it?
Awesome. I wonder if they'll bring up how they're literally supposed to be aliens or not?
Is there any way to justify human-ish aliens besides "someone engineered multiple planets to have sentient life that evolves like this?"
Convergent evolution.
