Only the oldest among your tribe remember the wonders of the great city of Babylon. Your people, the Aldrymik tribe, have wandered the Eastern Forest since the confusion. Once a people of wealth and culture, you have been reduced to no more than a ragtag tribe of nomads.
The Eastern forests are a harsh and unforgiving place. The elders remember a time when it was not so, but most of the tribe was born into the endless winter.
You are one of the nine young men of the tribe coming of age in this year. Your father, a respected and proud member of your tribe, is...

Become The Vampire 32
As you stand before your carefully constructed summoning circle in the sport equipment shed, ready to complete the spell to summon Tellarie's victim, you think back on the last two days. It's been kind of weird, overall, and not just because they've been relatively calm. There's been this weird feeling in the back of your mind like everything is going according to a plan you thought up ages ago and forgot all about.
Things with Sammy have been getting better. She's finally getting over her jealousy after realizing...

Your magic training has been going fairly smoothly. Angie's slow hinting and mentoring at night combined with your own experimentation has led to a few small explosions around the school yard in the dead of night, one mutant cat and a crude telekinesis spell that only moves things to the left, relative to your perspective. It needs work, but it's your first rune magic spell that hasn't blown anything up, which makes it a solid basis for future work. The secret, you've realized, is in over-analyzing every last detail to the limits of what you can consider,...

The vampires haven't been making much fuss lately, and have been giving you the cold shoulder a bit, which you guess is to be expected. You haven't had much to worry about in terms of supernatural shenanigans, although Presence has been nagging you on and off about hunting down the vampire who killed her. You've yet to come up with a suitable strategy for picking out her murderer and eliminating them. You'll probably have to pull a vampire-level manipulation to pull it off.
You look at the glowing circle on the floor and check your phone. One minute to midnight. You brace yourself for what's about to happen, your hands starting to move on their own. You grab the knife you brought with you and slice into your palm, just deep enough to get blood flowing, and you let the first drops fall into the circle as you chant. The spell comes from somewhere deep inside you, pouring out through your mouth and into the circle before you.
The air around you begins to feel thick and heavy, and the floor beneath the circle turns black as the symbols you marked out turn pale, and then stark white. The drops of blood form into a single black lump that begins to swell and twist, and you take a step back. With a single word you can cancel the summoning and send the devil back into the pit, and in an hour that word will erupt from your mouth on its own, so you sit back and watch the lump twist, writhe and swell into the form of a brutish figure, nearly eight feet tall and clad in a drab black clock and sections of ruined armor.
“You have great skill to have summoned me, human. Tell me your desires, and I, the mighty Velkinshar, will grant them to you. Do you desire a nation to bow before you? A worthy foe destroyed? Or do you wish to make war against the heavens themselves?”
You know that he can't leave the circle or interact with you unless you wish it, but you also know that dealing with devils is risky business. You take a moment to collect your thoughts before proceeding.

“Decisions decisions. I think I will choose the Celtic rune.”
“Are you sure? You cannot choose a different catalyst once you have begun the summoning ritual.”
“Yeah, I'm sure.” You nod your head.
“Very well, we will collect the rest of the artifacts and return them to the organization. Best of luck to you in the holy grail war; the summoning circle is just behind us. Your mentor will stand guard at the entrance to ensure that you have a...successful summoning.”
The hooded figures collect the artifacts and leave the room, leaving only the Celtic rune on a wooden table. You wait until you hear the door gently clicks before you sigh and got to work. Numerous amounts of mana crystals fell from your hand as you sprinkle them across the floor, the crystals pulsed. The symbol on the floor pulses as well, in time with the crystals. A scarlet red star, gently increasing the power and mana saturated in the air. With confidence, you place the celtic rune in the middle of the floor, and began your incantations.

The Lancer Wars: Thighs vs Bulge
You are Kline Bueller, and you are currently well-rested after your nap. After the bandit fiasco, you decide to take the time to relax in the big city of Kaste with Deila Havar and...Maria.
You really didn't want her tagging along, but she insisted that she accompany you, in order to prevent you from taking advantage of Deila. Just because she was a rank higher didn't mean she had the right to boss you around.
The three of you are at a cafe, waiting for your orders to come.
"S-so, K-Kline, is it?" Deila asks you, with a blush on her face....

"So, Deila, do you live here?" You ask.
"Well, no, I live in Redvale, a town on the border of the country of Frendan." Deila says. Frendan? If you recall, Frendan was the neighboring country of Heral, the country you live in.
"So, you've visited Kaste, then?" You ask.
"Oh, yes! Several times, although some of them were for business." Deila nods.
"Where's the waiter already? I'm growing impatient," Maria growls.

Of course more serious quests are always fun, especially those that are properly planned and ran by experts. And of course we all remember the old Monsterhearts quest; but this is neither of those things.
Since this is the first post, we need a bit of worldbuilding, and I'd like you to help me along. Since it's still a quest, we're doing it on a voting system.
Setting:
[ ] An all male/female boarding school.
[ ] A small town with a big, secret history.

Hey guys new to /tg/
I read a few stories on here and i gotta say they were extremely intertaining.
Any want to share some stories funny,cool,interesting about the games youve played?
If you want to make a story request thread, then I advise you to not start with Sir Bearingtion; along with the dragon wrestling story, it's the story most posted around here. and everyone gets annoyed by it after a while.

Once the world was nothingness, and then with Domina the Star Mother, She Who Remembers, the first WORD was brought and it was light.
Then came the world with Lorshian, the first moon with Udros the Steadfast. From the rays of Domina’s firstborn, the sun, and Udos’s moon, Molinoth the Remaker, the World Serpent, was born.

Witness returned to us, and became Witness-that-was, as a god of Balance who set up the Great Wheel, where the souls of mortals travel through to be reborn.
Golgadath the Maw outside Matter fed upon the souls travelling the Wheel, and was set upon by Heroicus, Regolith, Witness-that-was and Veraiitus, who drove it out of cosmos once again, where it hungers and feeds upon the few souls that fall off the wheel.
Herocles the mighty ascended into godhood and fought Domina in a dream of grandeur caused by Veraiitus,...

The holy grail war: a magical ritual that has been ongoing for two hundred years. Established by the three great magic families: Tohsaka, Matou and Einzbern. The holy grail allows the victor to have any wish granted, and it is for this reason that seven mages are selected by the holy grail and with support from the holy grail, they are allowed to summon servants: heroic spirits and legends from the past. Masters chosen by the grail are granted three command spells.
This takes part during an alternative time-line from Fate/Staynight during the fourth holy grail war. the...

Deep in a rather uncharted sector of an unpopular arm of distant galaxy #015323, your ship has stumbled across a lush alien world. Most of the planet is covered in sprawling green jungle, or scintillating blue seas. Your captain orders you down via shuttle as part of an away team.
Who are you?

What do you prefer, soft or hard science fiction?
I prefer both in the classical sense of their definitions.
If you're using "hard" to mean autistic shit like "FTL is imaginary space magic and therefore can't exist in hard SF" then please fuck off and kill yourself.
I like a bit of hard fiction. I like space ships that can kill the occupants if not piloted properly. I like high stakes ship-to-ship combat. Weapons based on our physics with technology that, with time, can actually perform the way they do in the future.
Beyond that, I love interesting and well written alien races. Other humanoids with their own cultures and survival techniques. I never get into ferocious aliens who are evil for the sake of being an easy antagonist.
>>44896608
Soft. Hard is autistic and dull.
An evil as fuck lich becomes a god and chooses Death as his portfolio.
He is now the god of death
He realizes that, when someone dies, he gets power based on how long a life they lived, as if they had been accumulating energy through their life. The more they have experienced, the better for him.
Would it make sense to start worrying about extending the life of mortals and giving them happier, more fulfilling lives? what would he think about baby sacrifices? they give him a tiny boost, but are effectively insignificant compared to the death of an old man.
