You see, a kitsune by virtue of not being a human, is inherently lower than the lowest human on the cosmic chain. Only enlightened and celestial beings are technically higher. So remember that, for humans have a good reason to be superior than 99% of races in most settings.
Why don't we get any cool powers?

>>46353012
In Buddhist stories, people who were too proud (but not necessarily bad) were often punished with reincarnation as tengus or magic kitsune. Humans are considered top tier since they're the only race that can became Devas.
>>46352962
We have the potential to get really cool powers once we die and ascend to heaven. Same reason why vampires are considered "lower" than humans since they're literally damned despite all the awesome powers.
>>46353062
What setting?
>>46353101
Look up Rishis, Tennin, or Boddhisatvas. Basically humans that have ascended into greater forms through enlightenment.
>>46353154
Oh, boring. This is /tg/ how?
>>46352925
>cosmic chain
>implying objective value of someone's life
[citation needed]
>>46353180
Humanity Fuck Yeah has *always* been /tg/.
>>46353180
Remember how in many settings, it is humans that are considered incredibly vital to the setting despite the fact they may seem considerably weaker. This is due to the fact humans oft have the "potential" to be something greater than everything else. LotR's elves for example, are better than humans in every way; but there souls will not come forth for the next great music. It's a more mythological aspect that's not so much HFY as it is "humans are important since they have choice".
>>46353260
That's objectively wrong. Please direct this thread towards a traditional game oriented subject.
>>46353260
It's never been "/tg/".
People posted it here in the past, but that's hardly a reason to pretend that any shitty wank can "be /tg/" just because some idiots pretend that they're going to use it in a game when it's clear that no one will ever want to actually play with them.
I want to become a god
>>46353471
I want to punch god in the face
>>46352962
Because you gave up on becoming a wizard and you aren't old enough to get your second shot at it yet.
Basically.

I don't want to die. Is that so much to ask for?

You see, an immigrant by virtue of not being a native, is inherently lower than the lowest native on the cosmic chain. Only enlightened and celestial beings are technically higher. So remember that, for natives have a good reason to be superior than 99% of immigrants in most settings.
>>46352925
I'm fine with HFY occasionally, but is there a goodnon-weebsetting where humans are not the dominant race?
And if not, how would I go about making one? I'm thinking along the lines of the Witcher in terms of theme.
>>46353692
You see, OP by virtue of not being a reply, is inherently lower than the lowest poster on the cosmic chain. Only janitors and mods are technically higher. So remember that, for anons have a good reason to be superior than 99% of OPs in most threads.
>>46353715
What do you mean by dominant? Do you mean most numerous? Straight up better? Or better in a special aspect like having the tastiest souls?
>>46353687
Yes.
Everything must come to an end.
The only difference is the amount of effort you put into it.
After all, the only universal measure of the life success is achievement. If you have achieved something improbable, or even impossible, then you have won.
And to achieve that thing you have to put effort talent, work into it.
Think of it as a score game.
You can give up at the beginning and score zero points, or you can live your life struggling to achieve something grand, achieving it and gettig a fuckton of points.
But it won't mean anything if the game is endless - after all, if the game never ends, then the score is never tallied.
>>46353692
Who would've thunk?

I'd still fuck it.

>>46353260
It was /tg/ when it explored how humans could stand out in space opera settings instead of it just being an excuse to write amateur scifi space wars. The biochemical and gravitational related differences in particular would be fun in a game. Those were only marginally HFY though. I'm talking about those "Humans are..." threads.
You see, an anti-skub by virtue of disliking skub, is inherently lower than the lowest skub user on the cosmic chain. Only skub and more skub are technically higher. So remember that, for skub users have a good reason to be superior than 99% of people in most settings.
>>46353764
Anything other than the staus quo:
>humans are the most numerous
>humans are the toughest
>humans hate everything that isn't a human
>scourge and purge
>humans are the center of the universe
Make humans more on the sidelines, like halflings.
>>46353885
Unless you're applying it to a specific tabletop not only is it overdone, but you're shit at it.
And it's still not /tg/.
>>46353803
Maybe I could consider it, of I were around when they will show the scoreboard. But I won't, because I'll be dead. Fuck being dead.
Humans are technically superior to most other beings in Hindu/Buddhist cosmology. They're higher than the Pretas, the Rakshas, the Asuras, and animals.
>>46353980
>not playing the game is somehow worse than playing the game
Have you perhaps considered that there is more to life than, well, life?
You won't know unless you arrive there. Aren't you at the very least curious?
>>46353983
Seriously, HFY wankfest isn't /tg/.
>>46353971
But it's not overdone in any medium. That's why those threads were around to begin with, to find an alternative to humans as plain and default.
>>46354016
That's not HFY wankfest that's real cosmology. Your asspain over HFY has gone too far.
>>46354082
>"That isn't /tg/"
>"It's real cosmology"
So, still not /tg/ related?
>>46352925
They have fluffy tails and fluffy ears, therefore that is objectively incorrect.
>>46354106
>Games on /tg/ are never based upon real life things
>Hur der get off /tg/ with it! Its not /tg/!
>>46354106
The mods seem to think elves and simply elves are /tg/ related considering the guy who posts his copypasta and image gets banned and his posts deleted everytime he tries while the rest of the thread is left untouched.
Sorry, you don't get to decide that and you can't do shit about it either way.
>>46353932
I can only really think of post-apocalyptic settings for that.
>>46354155
My point is that this is neither relating to a tabletop game, or a board game. It's not planning for a board game, it's not homebrewing a tabletop, hell it's not even worldbuilding.
You and your thread are a cancer to this board right now, even quest threads are more related to /tg/. How does it feel knowing you probably bumped an on-topic thread off the board by making this? Was it worth it?
>>46354207
Considering your reaction? Yes. Cry more.
>>46354224
Oh man. I'm so mad. I'm so buttmad. I'm gonna go cry I'm so mad.
>>46354010
You mean eternal torment and the seperation of souls based on who did and did not worship a certain God?

>option 1: maybe there is something, even though exactly nothing supports this notion. It might be a pleasant surprise, but it might be also a literal hell
>option 2: IT'S THE ULTIMATE DEMISE, there is nothing beyond that, you are lost forever, as the last bits of information about you fall into a literal black hole and are gobbled into a fine paste.
Gee, I wonder who's right.
>>46353983
Buddhism is hilariously Lamarckian in some interpretations when it comes to reincarnation. Being a adshole bully as a human lets you get reborn with a better body to better hone your assholeness until your karma accumulates until you become reborn as an asshole demon.
>>46354207
Don't lie to yourself, it would've been another 'off-topic' thread.
>>46352925
You humans are all talk. Whenever the magical races leave you alone for too long, you spout this shit like you are the masters of your domain. And then when real power passes through your short lives, you remember your place and dare not speak our names for decades lest you attract our ire. I remember a time, when I was a child, that your ancestors would only refer to our kind as 'the good people' and 'the fair folk' because you were afraid that if one of us should overhear you disparage us, ruin would come to your kingdom. It was not an unfounded fear.
So go ahead, dream that you are somehow superior to those who can bend the nature of the world to their whim or cast storms with a whisper. Praise your accomplishments such as walking on the moon to those who can pluck the moon from the sky and walk in the realms of gods.
But do yourself a favor and remember that these are only dreams. You do not rule the Earth through superiority, you are just the only people who were too powerless to leave it and see the more interesting realms. Earth honestly isn't all that great, especially since you keep poisoning all of the best glades.
Now if you excuse me, my niece is creating her first universe. I promised I would attend.
>>46354207
Threads like these are usually about fluff as in settings/homebrew and OP likely wanted to spitball ideas. You're just pissy because it could be marginally HFY related.
>>46354250
No, I mean something. Anything. Anything that is not life. Aren't you curious?
>>46354260
The point is there is zero evidence to either of outcomes. Absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence. And guess what, I'm curious. That doesn't mean that I want to die right now, god forbid.
But someday I will die, whether willingly or not. And I'd like to think that I will get a fuckton of points for my life, even if those points matter only to me.
>>46354412
So you would rather go for the uncertainty of death and the possibility of complete and utter annihilation of the soul, if a soul even exists, over the chance for eternal life?
>>46354379
>powerless to leave it
But that's what OP is talking about. Humans reach their potential after losing their mortal coil.
>>46354379
Says the non-existent race of fuckbois
>>46354440
Yes. Wouldn't you?
>>46354440
If what happens to us when we die is based entirely on what we believe rather than an already existing metaphysical exosystem, then the world is crueler than anyone could have imagined and any divine intelligence that shaped it is the most massive asshole ever to have existed.
Because only good people will believe that their flaws make them deserving of punishment, and will create personal hell.
And evil people will have no qualms about what they have done, and create the heaven they so justly 'deserve'.
>>46354472
I'm sure I wouldn't.
Because there is nothing. Stop kidding yourself. There is no soul. You are a biocomputer with all its flaws, that will lose all semblance of consciousness once the electricity in its brain is cut off.
Absence of evidence is not an evidence of absence? That's fucking great, for while I haven't seen unicorns they are sure to exist, and all exoplanets are made of cheese! Seriously, mate, you should be excited to see them!
Humanity hasn't come up with a single theory of what lays beyond that would in any way look like anything more than a product of fear of their fragileness. They are incoherent at best and stupid at worst.
Fuck church for ever giving me hope, it hurts thousands times more now.
>>46353889
Skub users die young
Science proves this.
>>46354596
Anon, if there's truly nothing after the life ends, I won't be around there to feel it. And I will cease existence fulfilled, finally satisfying my curiousity.
Humanity hasn't come up with a single theory of what lays beyond? So fucking what? Then you have to experience it yourself!
Do you not want to step on the sands of Mars with your own feet? Do you not want to explore the microcosm on the scale of femtometres? Do you not want to gaze into the black hole with your own very eyes? Do you not want to experience all of these exciting things? I do.
And just as I want to experience all of these mysteries, so I do want to experience death, at least once in my, well, existence, I guess.
It is natural to be afraid of death, so I can sympathize with you, after all, death is the ultimate unknown, and people were always afraid of unknown.
That said, while I do not wish an untimely death - after all, there is so much to do! - I do look forward to it when the time finally comes, even if I do cease to exist in the end.

Skub is being supported by terrorist organizations and brutal regimes. Are you sure you know better than them?

You see, Vladimir, slav by virtue of being non-kebab is inherently higher than highest t*rk on cosmic chain. Only amerifat and cyкa nip are technically lower. So be of remembering, for slav have good reason for superior to 99% of races in settings.

No silly, the soul is your wifi that lets you connect with all other living things. You just gotta make sure your firewalls are down so you can let in all that data that the universe has got going on in the cloud and make those connections.

>>46353049
You're so wrong it fucking hurts. "Kitsune" are either evolved foxes with spooky powers (in the case of nogitsune) or the messengers/associates of a God (in the case of zenko). You may be conflating continental Buddhist concepts with Japanese mythology.
>>46355178
Read Zen Flesh, Zen Bones along with Two Moons. There are numerous stories of priests being punished to be reborn as foxes for supposedly minor offenses. Foxes are generally considered magic regardless.
>>46353932
The Cthulhu mythos has that in spades. Humans are one of the weakest, youngest, and tastiest races.
how can humans be top-tier if none of them understand true beauty
>>46355275
Yithians are bros though.
>>46355305
Well yeah. Just because they're bros doesn't mean they aren't on another level from us. That's like dogs saying humans are Bros, true but they still aren't at our level.
>>46354757
This is an intellectual suicide commited for the comfort of living. I mean, there's nothing wrong with it, except that it's obviously false.

Ah, an interesting proposal, but see, according to this role of divinity, kitsune actually rank one or two places above most humans, alongside nobility and kings.
Might I inquire as to the source of your assertion, as this document has been dutifully copied from the original in the records of Heaven (Comission for Hierarchy).

One of you is thinking of Shinto, while the other of Japanese Buddhism.
>>46358995
They're not necessarily mutually exclusive
>>46358995
To be fair, there's an imperial assload of overlap between the two. Japan's mythology is this weird melting pot where there weren't really any clear differentiations between mythologies until the Portuguese showed up.
>>46357916
Look pal, I'm just doing my job. Do you have any idea how hard it is to keep a working hierarchy running in the global age? I haven't had a vacation in 30 years!
>>46359175
Well, no. These days, the most common religion in Japan can be considered Shintoist Buddhism, or the reverse. For most, it's just a set of superstitions they abide by.

>>46363163
Being a Japanese kami and being a god in the western sense aren't quite equivalent.
You see, a human by virtue of not being a mer, is inherently lower than the lowest mer in the Dreamsleeve. Only the daedra and the Divines are technically higher. So remember that, for mer have a good reason to be superior than 99% of races in Nirn.

You're still a divine spirit, even if you are the equivalent of the lowest level intern in the hierarchy.
