Civilisation is crumbling. The great kingdoms and empires of the past are no more. For several generations, the foul Miasma has spread across the continent, slow but unstoppable. It brings with it sickness, madness and death, and it seems to many that the world will inevitably be consumed by the foul purple fog. But swathes and strips of untouched land remain between the Miasmatic clouds. This is a strange world of crumbling kingdoms and coalitions of cities trying desperately to cling on to the old ways; great mercenary armies who hold monopoly over military strength; bandits...

You trickle smoke from your nostrils and grin. "Well, actually," you answer Lora, "there's this lamia that keeps wanting to write my story, and I wanted to make absolutely sure you were okay with it before I just ran off at the mouth."
Lora sighs and makes the sort of puzzled expression you see on people's faces when they're trying to figure out what to say. "...You told me that no one knew who or what built the Dungeon, yes?"
You nod.

You spend some time poking and prodding your newly captured spirit, mentally of course. Unfortunately it seems much reduced by its recent defeat. Though you managed to preserve the mind, it doesn't seem like there was that much to preserve. It is a simple creature driven solely by vague emotion, and the only emotion it seems capable of at the moment is wrath.
On the other hand, perhaps you simply aren't skilled enough as a Nature Vatis to truly understand the spirit's thoughts? “Mortia, would you come here a moment? I've need of your talent for Nature...

It isn't long before Mortia's thoughts begin to muddle with your own, her voice muffled due to the mental barrier you erected to ward of Fulvia's rather forceful intrusion. {I believe the spirit is angry, but it is also afraid and confused. It feels trapped, and desires to latch itself to your soul so that it might feed and grow strong again. That being said the spirit's mind is incredibly simplistic. It is little more than an unthinking beast in its current state.}
You frown, mildly disappointed. Still, having a trapped spirit at your disposal should...

Become The Vampire 37
Sammy curls up on the bed and pulls a blanket over herself, and you pause for a moment to consider the best approach.
“Come on, sleepyhead. If you don't wake up then I'll have to wake you up the hard way. I don't think I've shown you yet, but I've got magic to spare, and if I need to use it to get you out of bed then I will.”
Sammy looks at you and grumbles.
“Can't you just go by yourself? I'm comfortable, and I'm enjoying a lazy afternoon after all that fighting earlier...”
You pat her gently on the head and ruffle her hair a little.
“I'm going with Catherine to get supplies, so I won't be going alone, but she doesn't want to go with just me because she's nervous. Plus I'm pretty sure that you'd rather go with us, right?”
Sammy sits up and nods, suddenly alert.
“Yeah, I...”
She blushes softly and chuckles.
“Stupid jealousy thing... I trust you, and I know nothing is going to happen, rationally, but... You're right, I'd prefer tagging along.”
She uses the blanket like a robe and heads for her dresser, and you turn away to give her privacy, texting Catherine that you've got your third person and that you'll meet her at the bus in a bit. She responds that she'll be there soon, and you pocket your phone, waiting for Sammy. When she taps you on the shoulder you turn around, and she pecks you on the lips before heading for the door.
“Ready when you are.”
You take a moment to look her over. Her outfit is cute without being over the top, and you follow after her with a smile. Maybe, just maybe, this will all go smoothly, and no one will argue with anyone, and you'll get to just shop for what you need without any tension in the air. You head for the bus stop, full of hope, and spot Catherine waiting by the bus stop in a blue dress, holding her book bag with both hands and looking like she's about to die of embarrassment. Sammy turns to you and folds her arms.
“Well, it's a good thing that I came along then, huh.”
You sigh softly and head to the bus stop, waving at Catherine and smiling. She gives you a small wave in return and seems to relax a bit when she spots Sammy.
“H-Hi there... Um... A-Are we ready to go...?”
Sammy circles around Catherine slowly, hand on her chin, before she walks back over to you and gives you a slight nod. Catherine looks deeply confused and a little worried.
“We're ready to go. No problems.”

PREVIOUSLY ON MAGICAL GIRL LIBERTY: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?searchall=Magical+Girl+Liberty
The four of you sat in waiting underneath the trees leading out of the mountain valley nestling Baroness von Streucker’s castle. You had sent Alena to scout ahead, and report back on their movements. It had been at least a few days since you first retrieved the Silver weapons. And in that time you were preparing to strike, hoping to catch the Baroness off guard so that you could save the boys and girls trapped inside the Castle.
Now though, you...

Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, questioned Quissonce, agreed to meet his would-be assassin and bonded with his dog. Now he is faced with the dilemma of convincing a religious half-orc that you should totally summon a demon. Wait. Devil, sorry.

“Alan . . .” Dolah trails off as you sip your morning coffee. “It's not even evil. It's just stupid.”
You nod your head and tap your finger on her table. Dolah's room in the chapel makes for a cozy meeting place in the early morn. It also provides you with some privacy from Calloway's congregation. Admittedly, despite yesterday's trials, he still has received a large number of parishioners. He's been getting a lot more faithfuls recently.
“I understand it's risky. But that's why I'm telling you about it. Quissonce is going to take the time to make sure we summon that thing as safely as possible and I want you right there ready to smite the sucker if something does go wrong. We discover the original summoner and then send it back to whence it came. If there was a viable alternative, I'd choose it.”
Dolah sits contemplatively in silence. The grim countenance she wears does not falter and neither does her stare. You doubt you could beat her in a blinking contest. Eventually Dolah adjusts herself and comes to some inward conclusion.
“Fine. I'll agree to this on one condition. Once this is over we destroy that book and any others on demonology or diabolism the Circle has access to.”
>Accept Dolah's ultimatum
>No dice

I wouldn't go so far as destroying all of them, but how about the church takes custody of the books and safeguards them instead?

FTFY
Over-exaggerated male forms need to go. Throw them out along with the titty-monsters and chainmail bikinis.
Preach it, brother.

I miss the Street Fighter Alpha era when Ryu looked a little more realistic. He's basically a karate hobo, how's he finding the gym time to support these gains?
Why don't more rpgs include playable undead races that compose entire kingdoms like the Forsaken. It's an interesting concept beyond "humans but with pointy ears" and the aesthitic is pretty damn cool.
The closest thing I can think of are 3.5e's Necropolitans from Libris Mortis, but they were never developed into an actual culture.
>>45105296
a) Because they are not a race, undead is a state of existence.
b) System concerns (no HP, or no con, to powerful, to weak, doesn't heal naturally
c) requires high magic in setting
d) requires prevalent sentient undead in setting
e) not pretty enough
f) not vampires, see above
g) may indeed be covered by vampires, depending on your demands for undead
h) game does not wish related themes
i) game does not wish for related aesthetics
>>45105296
while an interesting concept, it just SCREAMS "edgelord material". admit it, 90% of undead players would be fucking emo edgelords. so we're better off without them.
>>45105443
This is a terrible argument against it. You should go to bed, you have school in the morning.
>the two girls in the group don't like each other very much
>>45071469
As long as they don't badmouth each other behind their backs, it's fine.
>>45071469
Actually, the two females in the party get along fantastically. They have the best (non-sexual) chemistry in the party.
This mostly benefits from the fact that one likes to smash and the other likes to plan.
>>45071469
Leave that shit at the door or go home. No gaming is better than bad gaming and the sooner people realize that the sooner we'll have fewer bitching threads in this board.
This may just be my experiences, but why is it that so many players just aren't interested in melee combat? If a player has a bow, crossbow or a gun they'll tug themselves off describing how they line up their aim, take a slow breath and fire as they exhale. But in melee it's always "I swing and...hit, cool, damage is ***"
As a GM I've tried to make it engaging, I really have, but I've bounced off the wall of Apathy one too many times and I can't handle another combat of four guys stood exhaling slowly and firing arrows across a field.
>>45117041
What system? I have a guess that's the issue.
Shit your totally right, I never really noticed it but it's true.
>>45117041
Yeah OP what system, because it could be that Melee isn't really effective in the late game.
Also if it has to be the issue where they always describe ranged. I blame Trick Shots, we always show amazing shots in movies and TV where they fire it awesomely but we just don't do that for fights with melee weapons.
Mostly because when it comes to melee unless it's a ohk we just go, OK and now he's dead.
