Should you ever trust fairies? Or will they always try to screw you over?
Depends on the setting.
>>44107650
>>44107650
Fairies are fine. Sparkletwits mostly. Oh, some are shits but no more or worse than other mortal races. But the more intelligent ones are okay.
It's the Fae you want to nope away from harder than a shadowrunner from Lofwyr holding a corp position contract.
>>44107650
I want to screw those legs.
>>44107650
Most often, you should never, EVER, trust a fae. In settings where faeries are fey, don't trust them.
>>44107671
>>44107667
>>44108101
I guess it's probably fine to trust the Good-aligned types, then. There's a few of them.
>>44107650
You should always trust that fairies will try and screw you over.
>>44108101
No.
As a general rule, they wont all try to fuck you over but they all can. And even the good ones attach like 300 rules to everything and if ya break one yer fucked.
Be ridiculously careful.
Pixies and fairies are different but how the fuck are you supposed to know which one is which? One will always fuck you and one will help you if possible...
>>44107650
Good ones can't get rid of the bad ones and vice versa.
Thus, the good ones will get you what you ask for, then embarrass you hugely to teach you not to make deals with fairies.
The bad ones will attempt to con you out of your firstborn/soul/free will/etc.
That's how I always figured it.
Keep in mind that the 'good' ones are just as likely to not make deals or show up at all, and the 'bad' ones are probably more fond of deals like "You die, and I get to eat your face. It's win-win."
>>44107650
>>44108197
>>44108224
Just remember to bring a bag of salt. If it's fey, pixie or fairy, it has to count every piece of salt spilled. And these days, that can be a lot of salt.
>>44107650
had a seperate quest about a fairy temple deep in the underground of a forest
fairies in our setting are defined as people who merged with the souls of insects and can freely change from human to half beast to beast form
we have earth-fairies (non-flying) with overall higher strength and defense in beast-form and wind-fairies with wings and high magical powers
so , the party came to the lowest level , killed dozens of oversized bugs and then stand before a young woman with a dress resembling a curled up centipede in its pattern , and antenneas on her head
>who art thou to bring war to this place of ours
>leave and never come back to this holy ground
>player rolls for initiative , attacks the girl
>she transforms into some kind of centipede centaur a la berserk
>spear bounces off, attacker gets sprayed with poison
>then comes a clusterfuck of poison clouds and barrages of trampling attacks in the following battle
>almost everyone had fire spells or weapons with them , but never thought of using it
>the elder told them to burn the fairies to kill them most effectively
>no one can take the hints i threw at them during the exploration (lots of pictures depicting fire as something extremely harmful to insects and fairies)
almost TPK , 2 of 5 survived and got awesome loot
i inform the pissed off players about their ignorance
at least they just agreed to make new characters
>inb4 you make campains too hard
my players all agreed on the difficulty level , if something has twice as much strength points than you , prepare to get yo shit slapped
(we play a homebrew btw)
tl;dr
fairies are usually polite or playful/mischievous , but remember that they can have a damn horrifying side
>>44108320
Your players are fucking awful man, everyone knows you apply copious amounts of fire during a proper bug hunt.
>>44107650
Should you ever trust humans? Or will they always try to screw you over?
>>44108101
Daily reminder that in 2e, 3.X, 4e, AND 5e, the vast majority of fey are neutral/unaligned to good-aligned as per their default alignments and their gods/archfey.
>try
There is no try. Faeries WILL screw you over
>>44108645
fuck off back to /pol/, Clownpiece.
>>44107650
They don't mean to. They just don't think like us.
So, yes they will screw you over but its rarely out of malice.
>>44108655
Unless you smoosh them first.
Through arguably getting glitter blood on your boots is sort of screaing you over.
>>44108645
Then what's even the fucking point of having fey? Might as well just have tinkly elves. The whole point is they fuck you over. Without that they don't have much else.
>>44107650
If it's a life or death situation to trusting a fairy, you're already dead.
>>44107678
Ah, come on... Lifelong employment, healthcare, family care and protection from any repercussions from your past on top of a generous salary. Is that so bad?
>>44107667
>>44107671
>>44108101
Reminder that "depends on the setting" faggots are worse than quest threads.
>>44108807
That really depends on the context in which you encounter them.
>>44108101
Wouldn't a better setting be Pathfinder, since more peyote play that than 5e?
>>44107650
If it's LG, yes, for any other alignment, no.
>>44108807
So, what's canon then?
>>44108569
>everyone knows you apply copious amounts of fire
Period.
>>44108907
But then again, wouldn't it be even better bonapa keesa tolpa da bunky na booty cha naga o wanna meeta choboda?
>>44107650
No, you should never trust fairies.Actually, scratch that: you should never trust anyone.Especially orks.
>>44107650
The traditional way to deal with fairies is to throw a cloak over their head and beat the shit out of them.

The Unseelie Court is weak.

Your employee dress code forbids pink mohawks. No deal.
>>44109189
Man, those are some bitch ass Fae. Hey, that explains why they spell it Fey. They're just jumped up fairies who think they're hot shit. Not even true Fae.
When Queen Mab hears about what those fuckers are doing with the name of the Underlie Court...
>>44108907
Actually, 5e is more popular, by a large margin.
Even on /tg/, the 5e general moves a lot faster than the PF one.
>>44107650
>Should you ever trust fairies?
Always.My massive fairy fetish definitely not making me biased.
>>44109252
Mab was originally an unaligned fairy in Shakespeare though.
>>44107650
I Think stuff like Dresden Files handles the variety well. Some of them will try to screw over everyone all the time for the evulz. Some of them will try to screw you over for personal reasons. Some of them are kind of dicks, but not in a lethal way. Some of the ones who might otherwise kill you will not under certain circumstances if you play things right, and a few will actually try to help you or eagerly help you but be bound by rules.
Not all of them are bad. Even the ones who are technically required to kill you for some reason will bend over back words to find a reason not to, sometimes. They are people after all. People who follow a set of rules that makes an OCD persons issues look laughable and simple, who also live in a very byzantine, perverse society.
Again, it depends on basic nature and the relationship.
>>44108807
Contextless questions deserve contextless answers.
>>44107650
Of COURSE you should always trust fairies, silly! Why SHOULDN'T you trust fairies? Fairies are the most trustworthy things ever, didn't you know that?
Especially crystfairies! Always always always trust a crystfairy, because they always tell the truth and only want to help you do what's best.
So why don't you trust the crystfairy and awaken the crystals?
>>44108807
Y u mad bro?
>>44109430
I agree with you, my fellow human! Always trust fairies!
>>44107650
Yes. You must trust fairies.
They are your friends.
You trust your friends, righht?
>>44107650
Never trust nobody no how!
Fairy up in your face saying they got the magic key to the mcguffin but hey! You gotta save their village first. Thats extortion.
Best kill it before it tries to extort you out of your spine.

>>44109550
Keep in mind that number of players includes people who no longer play that particular system. By active games, 5e is trumping PF by a solid 10%.
>>44109550
Its true though. Specially since we got that hipster surge and bigbang did a thing now we got youngsters to young to even have memories from 3.x and other various games. PF is from 7 years ago. Kids that were in elementary school playing ball in a cup can buy cigs now. VHS is obsolete and 8 track is dead. Bellbottoma already had a resurgence and died. I forget where i'm going with this now wheres my tapioca.
>>44109575Twilicorn or best Twilight?
>>44109613
This chart is really entertaining. I wonder how well it translates into games played around a table.
>>44109739
There would probably be a strong correlation, though I doubt that Maid RPG would be quite so relatively popular.
>>44109665
Twilicorn. My friends are asses.
>>44109739
I think PF might beat 5th edition in non-online games since a lot of gaming groups have played it for a long time and from my experience most people are reluctant to learn a new system if they don't have to (you already play one fantasy RPG and everybody in your groups knows the rules, so why bother learning new rules to play another very similar fantasy RPG?).
>>44107650
Name one time a myth or folk tale that ever showed that Fairies should be trusted.
Video games don't count.
>>44110254
The one with the shoemaker.
>>44110165
That's a nice theory, but 3.5/PF have been on a steady downtrend while 5e has been steadily on the rise. In everything from online games to google search metrics to book sales to convention games, while 3.5/PF are still doing fairly well, 5e is firmly at the top of the charts. It likely has to do with it having done a great job of not only attracting new players, but being similar enough to the older editions that there's no real hiccups in transitioning to it.
>>44110254
But anon, pic in OP is from a vidyaand screws over the party. A lot, being both the main quest giver and final boss.
>>44110376
Don't forget that 5e is easy to learn. So all these new players that dodged 4e are walking into the new edition and embracing it as their first system.
>>44109979
Kill them.
Kill them all.
Still, points for purplesmart in general.
>>44110407
Actually,the original quest giver is one of her sisters, and the final boss is her boss.
>>44107650

Would getmindcontrolled by to betray the party for her.
>>44107650
Nothing sane can come from anything with a Fae typing anywhere in its description. Any instance of this not being true is a fluke 99.9999999% of the time.
>>44107650
False dichotomy. They may very well not try to screw you over, but that doesn't mean they're not still untrustworthy by virtue of being flighty, impulsive, and/or having a skewed sense of values and priorities. Doesn't mean they're cruel or malicious, just that you shouldn't rely on them for anything important. If they aren't out to get you, they'll screw things up for you in an episode of well-meaning whimsy, do things all wrong on account of mismatched expectations, or simply drop what you trusted them to do out of forgetfulness or simply not taking it seriously.
>>44109613
>Anima actually on that chart.
>Above IK
Woo. It's something.
>>44108807
Well they have a point on this one. You sure as shit don't trust Fae in NWoD, especially if you are a changeling, because the stronger the fae, the more fucked up their reasoning. If it's DnD, it likely depends on the nature of the fae you meet. Exalted, only if you can get them burdened down by so many contracts, since to break those can really screw them over. So really, each setting has its own rules.
>>44107650
Yes
You can't even trust fairies to be untrustworthy.
>>44108249
That's vampires m8. Fae just can't cross a line of pure salt.
>>44107650
That depends on whether they're specifically called "fairies" or "fey". You can trust the first to at least act reliably on their base behaviors once you get them down, but forget about trying to trust the second.
>>44108807
At this point its said ironically and for giggles
>>44108249
Wrong creature. That's vamps/demons/oni.
>>44108197
You know, with the attention to rules that's often given to fairies to the point that they make the Modrons seem sane, why are the majority of fey chaotic? Clearly they're lawful to an irritating degree.
>>44107650
If they screw with you, screw them right back. Literally.
>>44109320
I'm with you there, brother
Trust every fairy but the one in your OP image, OP.
>>44114947
They have a lot of rules, but they rarely have a reason or are made to keep them from going completely nuts.
>>44115059
Literally the worst solution to a fairy problem.
Even a succubus can in theory be smitefucked into submission, but a fairy might considering it a gift and will be forced to settle a debt.
>>44107650
I feel kinda bad about saying I'd give it to that pureevil world destroying bitchfairy, but the nethers want what they want.
Besides falling in love with them or them with you (marry them if you're single and they ask, refusing always makes things worse), they're as douchebaggy as any other supernatural creature, so no unless things sincerely cannot get worse.
>>44108807
We like to joke around on /tg/, but let's not lose our heads.
Nothing is worse than quest threads.
>>44114947
IDK, maybe D&D alignment doesn't make sense?
>>44114927
>>44114873
Oh. Nevermind. Ya'll be fucked, senpai.
>>44115616
Silly anon, you should ESPECIALLY trust the fairy in the OP image. She'd never, ever steer you wrong~! She just wants to help you awaken the crystals and save the world!
>>44108101
>>44107671
These fucking image macros are the most reddit-teir cancerous bullshit I have ever seen spammed as a forced meme.
The only thing it's missing is an iFunny watermark. Go fuck yourselves with a rake.
>>44108807
The only reason I can conceive for why an intelligent person would ask such a broad and vague question is because the person is too goddamned lazy to do the legwork in research to narrow their own question down.
I'm not going to do your fucking google search for you. Ask a more specific question unless you want a vague answer.
>>44107650
Around fairies, watch your berries.
>>44110254

>>44107650
They will always try to fuck with you. The complete subjugation of their species is necessary if you want them to stop screwing you over.

>Mouseguard only has something like 40 games.
God I wish that game was more popular, I really do. I was SO CLOSE to being in a party to run that shit but our GM just didn't know what to do with the system or what kinda story he wanted to tell through it.
Feels bad man. Mouseguard is fucking great.
>>44107650
Do you think fairies have their own board to shitpost about humans?
>>44122037
Dude, fae shitposting is on an entirely different level from human shitposting. You have no idea.
>>44110407
>>44110493Maaan... Airy and Ouroboros were pretty well executed for a JRPG, but they would have been so much better if Airy was a more direct Nyarlathotep analogue and Ouroboros was a more direct Azathoth analogue. As it stands, Ouroboros only really showed up at the end, eating Airy as enormous chaos deities are wont to do to their agents when they've outlived their usefulness. The problem is that, narratively speaking, Airy was essentially the major antagonist of the endgame up until the last few moments and was a much more established character, someone the player could have had emotional investment in (in that they despise her), not to mention she was the center of BD's major plot twist.
If the relationship between Airy and Ouroboros was less simply servant and master and more "Airy is the messenger, heart, and soul of the God of Destruction" ala Nyarlathotep to Azathoth and her getting eaten was more just getting reabsorbed back into the ancient primordial world-eating chaos god, I think the final boss progression would have flowed a lot better. I mean, fuck, the portion of Serpent Eating the Horizon that isn't climactic remixes of the main character themes is an epic remix of Airy's battle theme, even...
>>44119610
I'm almost certain the second one is a parody.
Okay fine fuck it, I'll ask because I can't reverse image search on my phone.
What game is the OP fairy from? Somehow she reminds me of the Zenonia faeries
>>44122646
Bravely Default.
Trust them to behave as faeries. They will be open, honest, polite, thoughtful, and leave you with ten times as many questions as you had walking in.

No, if no setting is specified use your favourite or the one you are currently playing a game in you fucking autistic faggots. I'm sick of you cunts shitting up these kind of discussion threads, it's why all we get nowadays on /tg/ are the smug anime faces with one line of green text OP posts.

Having no concept of sexuality themselves, they'd be utterly perplexed by the request, but might oblige anyway out of curiosity. They tend to be naturally fascinated by humans for looking like giant flightless fairies, so learning more of how they work is usually seen as a good time.

Google leanan sidhe for a minute and come tell us again how there's no such thing as concepts of sexuality when there's part of the race literally called "fuck fairies".
>>44126151
I never talk about RL fairies. You shouldn't either. If they hear, they'll come for you.
>>44122527
You know what that game lacked? Soundtracks. There is literally one random battle track and a good deal of the ost is just remixes of the same tracks.
Shame if you compare with other 3ds games like EO4 or Persona Q.
>>44110493
Eh anon, I didn't want to spoiler that much.
>>44126151
/Fairies/ have no concept of sexuality, beyond possibly a very childish perception of love. /Fey/ have a terrifying concept of sexuality that would probably make all but the worst /d/eviant gag.
