REMINDER:
If you want ANYTHING to go in the repo, just summon me. Otherwise I will only put writefagging and sheets in the repo.
Also, I added the blank template to the ALL FLAKESHEETS folder.
To summon me simply say

Fair enough, the + basically reads "Discard a card to cast lightning helix" while the - is literally Angelic Purge. The ult is more of a 'Burn away the corruption' thing, I was definitely focusing on flavour here and not gameplay. If Madness was good she would probably see standard play but as it stands I doubt she'd be any better off than Arlinn Kord.
Can we have a thread of magical realm stuff that's actually printed in commercial RPG products? Like, not stuff someone wrote up and turned into a pdf, but something produced by an actual company?
I'll start, and I'll add that pretty much every single Ed Greenwood supplement or box set has at least one instance of his fetishes in them, often many. Transformation, rape, mind control, enslavment and age play are on the list for Greenwood and there's probably loads more.
>>48105593
I don't see anything fetish-y here. It's just a (druid I guess?) that transforms into a dryad.
>>48105641
I don't either, it's obviously a setting based off a book series or something (I looked it up, its Greyhawk) so having a minor section dealing with how to handle major plot-central NPCs. The cringiest part at most is that they keep referring to him as the Exalted One after mentioning his real name (Jason Krimeah).
If I was a famous and easily recognisable wizard then I would change form as well and a dryad is as good as any other (they are generally seen as benign).

This thread fell off the board while I was out last night. >>48077336
I'm trying to come up with mechanics for a virtual reality MMO feel for a tabletop setting. I'm taking a bit of inspiration from Eclipse Phase and other mech games. Your "Avatar"--the body that you have in the virtual reality which in-game is your Class--is different from your "User"--the player character that you control, here given a different term to prevent confusion, since you're playing a player. All your basic Traits cover what you're capable of and how well you can "steer" a your Avatar (along with mental and social abilities). This is full immersion VR, so even though the players could be pasty faced losers or crippled teenage girls in reality, in the virtual world they're sword swinging heroes. Special abilities and magical power are covered by Talents, which can be purchased with Upgrades, which are gained through exploring the virtual world as rewords. You'll also have Experience for increasing your abilities as the User, which can be used for skills or traits, as well as Assets like a good machine or an attractive Avatar.
The plot of the game is that within the virtual world, one of the AIs has grown rampant, and is slowly corrupting the world, which is leading to problems in the real world (since everything is connected), including the typical "people hooked into the machines are going into comas". The players are people who were defeated by the corrupted data and given the chance to fight back when another awakened AI, weaker but benevolent, granted them debugging access that lets them alter the data or whatever. Technobabble.
>48080833
>Have you already considered that there might be a very good reason for these shows to ignore these particular MMO aspects?
Yes. And those reasons are obvious: It would be confusing if the characters weren't visually consistent. That's also why characters in anime rarely change their clothes or put on armour. That's not all that big a problem in a tabletop to begin with.
>>48081561
>It's not so much about death being the ultimate consequence but there's very few actual consequences to failing at an mmo.
>Maybe it's because I'm just ignorant of this genre but I'm just not seeing how you can get tangible drama from playing an MMO.
Usually in these games the characters are trapped in the MMO. I mean, I suppose I *could* still do that, and still manage to work in the Avatar swapping somehow, but mostly it's that the Virtual Reality stuff extends beyond the MMO. Everything is virtual reality now. You can go to the movies as an Avatar. You can go to the mall. Think of it as if it were what Second Life wishes it was. The Rampant AI getting out of the game would be a Very Bad Thing for all involved, and that's beyond the usual "your friend is in a coma" thing.
Of course, the problem with that is that I can't really think of a reason that actual authorities wouldn't be getting involved. At least without something like a conspiracy by the Company.
Log Horizon--an anime where the characters are all transported to an MMO world and they learn to manipulate the mechanics of the world--has it so that death doesn't actually mean anything. Characters die and then they resurrect at the Shrines in the main city. But after a while players who've die a lot realize that they're forgetting some of their memories of the real world. That's the kind of thing I prefer to "you die, make a new character". Games where Death is the ultimate You Lose screen don't interest me, they're a dime a dozen.
Damn, guess this isn't interesting to anyone.

What is the most powerful being?
What kind of slasher would Patrick "Dubs" Bateman be?
>>48081860
Charmer. Works so well that even when he tries to admit to it people don't believe him.
Okay, so I'm middling familiar with the game mechanics of WoD/CoD, but I've read a lot into the lore of Prometheans and Changelings in particular because they interested me the most, and I've poked my head into the room on Vampires, Werewolves, Mages and Changing Breeds. I mentioned at my local game shop last week that I'd really love for someone to run a game of CoD, and was met with an entire group of people asking me what that was. After explaining the general premise of "Modern world gothic horror game that has all kinds of nasty things that can kill you with a thought and game systems to play as several of them" I basically was told by about seven people that if I would run a game they would be interesting in playing.
Is there any specific book or online reference/resource that I can look to for a quick summary of the lore of the particular splats like Werewolf or Mage, as well as perhaps a beginners guide to running a CoD game? I know the general mechanics, but being familiar with D&D/Pathfinder, the health mechanics in CoD seem to gear more towards combat being used exceedingly sparingly with damage recovering over a course of *days* and not much health to begin with. I don't want to run a potential game group off by handing them a game of supernatural creatures and them not being able to let loose often enough to satisfy them.
Either way I'm not going to rush into this like tomorrow or anything, but any reference material or a point to the proper books/chapters to look at for this sort of stuff would be greatly appreciated. I have the entire collection in PDF, but with somewhere around 400-500 individual books, it's a bit tricky to find a starting point.

Do you prefer buying gear with CP or crafting gear from scratch?Crafting! I didn't pick up those tailoring and object enhancing perks for nothing.
>>48106816
I am my gear.
>>48106816
A mix of both. Sometimes I use the cp bought items as a base to build other stuff. Other times I try to recreate the cp bought items via my other perks and abilities.

Post any art requests you have ITT. Keep in mind, the drawfriends are doing this for fun, so do not be surprised or upset if they gloss over your post. The artists are here to draw what they WANT to draw, not what you THINK should be drawn.
Be patient, and bump your request one time every 24 hours from the time you posted the request. There is no exception to this rule, it doesn't matter if you "have work" or "are going to bed".
DO:
Provide good, detailed references (pictures are better than verbal descriptions), so the artists know what you're looking for as best you can.
Hold off on additional requests after receiving a delivery from an artist, and be mindful of the other requests that might deserve attention.
Mind your manners and say thank you! We appreciate our artists and their amazing work!
DON'T
Don't be an asshole and immediately repost your request because you don't like the FREE art you received.
And for fuck's sake, when someone is being an obvious cunt, DO NOT REPLY TO THEM. All you're doing is wasting bumps and fanning the fire.

Requesting a 3-headed rock Hydra. Its scales are all rocks, tail is formed by stalagmites, and whatever the drawfriend thinks it's fitting.
And thank you.
Pic related was a WIP that someone was making.
Hello thread-I wish to request a draw. It’s art for a witch that I’ll be playing shortly.
The pictured pose is what I’d like for the character but no dragon please and non-skull magic,
The pictured hair
The outfit I put there just for a general idea but the gist is that she’s not wearing armour and she has a cloak.
Thanks in advance!
Hey guys, I'd like to get this magic weapon drawn if it tickles anyone's fancy.
It's a sword in a cittern; that is, the top part of the instrument, circled in pic related, is the handle, and when it's drawn from the instrument, the strings disappear and a golden blade the size of a longsword comes out of the end of the "handle." It's described as being sunlight that is emitted from the weapon, so a golden/yellow glow would be perfect.
Thanks in advance!

Why does the Death Guard have the best color scheme and best dice?
Reposting my question from the tail end of last thread, if that's okay.
>Speaking of the space sharks, how heretical would a shattered legions combo of loyalist death guard (in dusk raider colours) and terran raven guard (in carochadon colours, although still with a raven emblem on their shoulder) be? Couldn't decide between dusk raiders and RG, then thought why not both, and figured those two scheme colours would look good alongside each other. (Would put all the dusk raiders in Mk III and all the RG in Mk VI to meet the "must be distinguishable" shattered legions rule.) Also would prevent me having to paint a load of marines in black.
>>48094612
I say it's heretical depending on how's it done.

>>48093982So lads I want to know if it's worth getting back into 40k or GW games generally.
I stopped collecting and painting around 10 years ago and haven't followed the releases much since, so is it worth it to get back in?
Am I going to be wasting my money on a dying game? I don't want to drop 500 pounds on the game and then have it die in 5 years or so.
If I do get back into this then what's a good starter set to get? I'm most interested in 40k but fantasy is also an option.
Thanks.
What is the best this guys have right now?
