Fake but fun. Merry late xmas.
/tg/ i need your help. I am playing a unique game with an amazing GM friend of mine. He has been using this homebrew system of his and playing the same world for over ten years. I have known this guy for only a year or two. Anyway i have been given the chance to be a nobleman, i have been given a parcel of land in the newly conquered area known as the vale. Short history is full of high magic creatures, main party+army literally skull fucked some of them to death. I get some of that land now as the kings favoured nephew (At the ripe age of twenty). I am tasked with getting settlers...

Literally, LITERALLY doesn't mean that.
Unless you were using the word correctly in which case please elaborate as to what brought it on.

A man finds himself reborn as a child. In the last thread, we went out of the house, which promptly disappeared.

Gefeth is in the southern district, near the middle of the desert. Your parents indicated that you were on the west edge, so you start heading what you assume to be southeast by the direction of the sun.
Time flies by, and even as the sun sets you have encountered nothing but trees and dirt. As the last sliver of sunlight sets across the horizon, you stare back at the map. If you followed the map correctly, you should be reaching a dirt road soon. Alternatively, you hear the sound of water in the opposite...

A lot of fantasy games include or allow for a PC to accumulate lots of magical or unique gear. How do you do this well (if you can) in a sci-fi game where everything is a lot easier to replicate and manufacture?

Help me with a villain
How do I make my villain a nice, amicable guy who the party can sit down and have a drink with, while still knowing he's their adversary? Say the villain invites them for a drink, coffee, whatever, and they accept.

A bad guy who isn't a 'bad' guy? A rival?
Is it a Superhero game, like your pic?
>>44534886
You can't. This is PCs we're talking about. The crazy murderhobos that will not shy away from attacking king in the throne room while the royal guard is present in their full numbers.
Underground art thread? Underdark, Deepearth, The Great Underground Empire, whatever...
