Hypothetically speaking, how would you go about collecting taxes from a group of heavily-armed adventurers?
Keeping in mind that my court advisors have informed me that keeping them alive and in good health is an overall benefit for my kingdom.

You can't
Adventurers are the equivalent of the super rich or mega corporations with holdings in Ireland or other foreign tax haven.
Add a sales tax to goods sold or bought in your realm. 15% on all trades.
Apply heavy penalties to tax evasion or trying to hide your earnings. Use wizards with scrying abilities to enforce the penalties.
Have your campaign become a fun game of "Dodge the Taxman."

Gate Tolls work well. Cant get into town without paying the toll. Tax magic item purchases and general goods as well. Players have to eat and sleep and buy rope.
Only methods I have found that actually work and dont piss people off.

first for best op picture of all time
my wip guide to "first teams" for bloodbowl is about halfway done at 5774 words, 31414 characters
It's sorted, in tiers, by my opinion which are the best teams to start with to learn the game. In brief I talk about the pros and cons and there is an old school gamefaq ctrl+f table of contents
I'll be posting it on pastebin and steamguides and editing it with thread C&C (comments and criticism)

What's the best way to drop a hint to an oblivious party?

Have one of the monsters say "Gimme some wine or gold and you can just go". Monsters aren't subtle, except slimes

give them a nice set of tits. works everytime

Can a setting work where large armies are armed with flintlocks, or even something more primitive, but melee and mounted combat are still used? I know different countries in the real world had differing levels of technology, but were early guns really so superior as to totally decide a wars outcome?
Mostly I ask because I want to run a campaign where a group of adventurers try to retake a fort from a garrison of zombies, but the zombies still remember some basic training. Most likely there would only be a dozen or so gun users in the lot, first firing from the walls...

Just go slightly earlier with the arms-tech; guns and swords and armor co-existed for hundreds of years.
Sure! In the real world there was a long 'pike and shot' era in the 16th-18th century where the primary weapon in war was the pike, supported by men with matchlock muskets and cavalry.
The musketeers were expected to 'prepare' hostile pikemen by shooting them, protected from cavalry by their own pikemen. The battle would be deiced by pikemen closing to melee combat.
The musketeers would also carry swords, as their weapons were slow and clumsy in close combat.
Even after that, with flintlock weapons in the 18-19th century the weapon...

Hi my name is The Collector. I go around collecting and helping poor threads that have been forsaken by their OP. These loving threads have been cruelly thrown away and left to die but it doesn't have to be this way. With a simple donation of 99 cents to Sarah McLaughlin we can save these threads and give them loving posters.
But enough with the sob story, LETS FIGURE THIS KNIGHT HOUSE OUT.
WE WERE FOUNDED FOR A CRUSADE. LIKE BADASSES.
You have (most likely) grown as a roleplayer. Either as a player or a GM, odds are that you have some sense of what is and is not okay for a given setting or game. You probably shouldn't be making Card Captor Sakura in D&D, or a Tzimisce fleshcrafter in Maid.
But you had to start somewhere- and odds are that it was somewhere mired in shit. Be it a brooding edgelord or an anachronistic anime reference in an otherwise average fantasy setting, what are your own personal worst offenders?

Starting off the thread with the first character that comes to mind.
When I was new to P&P RPGs in general, I made a drow assassin who would brood on rooftops to avoid the city guard. Everyone else in my party was clearly playing just for shits and giggles (seeing as how we had another rogue who disguised himself as a stalk of corn), while I was busy being 2deep4u and pondering my cursed existence as a drow on the surface world while simultaneously thinking everyone else was beneath me. I basically played...

Does it count if it was intentionally bad character in a bad game?

I meant more along the lines of cringy "oh god I can't believe I was such a 12 year-old dumbass", but hey, whatever keeps the thread a-rollin'.

Kuvasz is quick to shove you out of the way and blast the lead droid right between the photoreceptors. The other droids retract the blasters out of their hands, and start marching towards you. “Get behind me!” he yells. You’re not interested in getting some new breathing holes so you listen to him. The droids start blasting away at him, their shots exploding and bursting right off the heavy shell of Kuvasz’s armor. “Agh! Sunava…”
“Are you okay!?”...

“Hey!” yells an Imperial Engineer from one of the upper catwalks. “You down there!” You all look up to see him and a squad of Stormtroopers caught up in blasting apart more droids. One of them is blown back by a droid’s barrage of bolts. “The Control Room door’s been sealed shut! You’re closer to it than we are!” He grabs an arc welder from his belt and drops it down to Misri. “Get that door open and turn the power on, we’ll distract the droids!”
“Good luck!” you yell...

Flank and distract them with blaster fire so Uncle Badass can suplex them easier.
What are some red flags you see when playing with a new GM that immediately turn you away from the group?
They don't actually play RPGs and just vomit up memes they saw on /tg/
>Blatant favoritism
>DMPCs (NPCs are fine)
>Setting is "sandbox"
>Setting is Fantasy medieval England except everyone is furry.

Feel free to add on.

I read all of Foundation and the Robots series a while back. Since then I've been trying and failing to find a space opera book series on that level of quality, with that amount of depth and ideas. /lit/ is useless. Is there anything like Foundation?
Perhaps the Ender series and perhaps Dune.
They both have the galaxy spanning plots, though I admit I've only read about hlafway through each of the three series (Foundation, Ender, and Dune).
Also, of course, those are the easy answers.
Go read Dune.
You won't be disappointed.

You've read Isaac Asimov.
The other greatest SF writers are Arthur C Clarke, Frank Herbert (GO READ DUNE) and Robert Heinlein.
Fuck, Clarke invented the communication satellite!

In truth it felt like it had been a lifetime ago since your last prim and proper wedding, those of the Westerosi fashion at least. The affairs of the Essosi that the Second Sons had provided security detail for were far more… Extravagant, lacking a better word for it. Throwing your mind back to your days as a squire the very last you could properly remember was a small occasion held in King’s Landing, your mother’s younger sister was marrying a household knight of King’s Landing and you had been drug along with her and your Uncle Ser Dontos Malroy, far against your wishes.Your...

The torn feeling of fleeing from your home and instead staying wrestled inside your gut, threatening to overflow the evening’s meal at a moment, until she had said a final thing, “Of course we would still expect you to marry proper Brynden. A lowborn girl is no match for a Malroy,” it was phrase which had hardened your resolve, and you had decided your flight was the only true answer. It was also the last time you had spoken with your mother.
You shake your mind of idle thoughts, pushing away the remembered last pains of a boy fresh into his manhood, you were...

A soft rasp upon the door calls your attentions away from your last bit of grooming and you throw a, “It is open,” casually to it. It creaks and a silent step comes from behind, you look into the mirror, expecting one of the servants that often attended your room, only to find a stout man cloaked in drab brown, a worn dagger upon his side giving the faintest glint in the morning sun, and his hood drawn up so as to only allow your eyes to see the thin lips of this unknown man. You sit in quiet, watching him in the mirror, your hand raises to your breast, the hidden dirk above...
