Map edited the best I could (cant use Hexographer in this computer) most of the info on the map is from information of a kid, so it may vary in reality.
Saarin sends explorers to confirm the kid information, and in the coming days most of it is confirmed.
What else ask to the kid? What should the harpies do with the growing fungus? Spirit for mating is growing but winter is close... will the next generations...

The harpies start fishing and huntin extensively to prepare for winter, smoking fish and meat for the winter that soon starts, and the rain falls almost everyday.
The fungus keeps growing and so they burn it again, but it wont stop it for too much. Some of the kids become more rebel with the harpies but the oldest kid that lives with Saarin appease them so there isnt any blood.
Some explorers have seen humans at horse near in the Fairy Plains, they are well armed and seem like a soldier party.
How do you use the truly surreal in your games? The strangeness that stirs something deep and insightful inside the heart?
You can't. Not with verbal story telling
>>44518631
What?
>>44518631
This. The story telling becomes vague or turns to black.

This is a directory containing the tweets of most current QM's. While a twitter is by no means mandatory, it is a useful tool for both you and your players. If you are a QM, simply post your Twitter here to have it added to the directory. Spamming your quest twitter with non-quest related tweets may result in its removal from the directory.

Are you getting sick of /a/ quests?

Are there currently any quests that revolve around sailing and pirating? I remember a few decent ones that started up and promptly faded away as most do a while back.
>>44514552
>When will you move to another site?
I tried, it was terrible.
>Are you getting sick of /a/ quests?
If I was sick of something I would stop playing it.
Tiresome troll OP, just tiresome.

QM: Never. Unless I decide to do a quest on Gurochan.
PQ: Nope.
Funny thing about East Asia style quests: Polygamy was actually a thing. It was fairly common for powerful individuals to have multiple wives.
>You discover that your wife has secretly been engaging in necromancy
>>44513949
Guess I've got a bone to pick with her.
>>44513949
Well, that's puts her earlier talk about "wanting to raise kids with me" into a whole new perspective.
>>44513949
Well, we did talk about bringing a few friends into the bedroom.
I guess this is one way to add some life back into our marriage.
So a friend mentioned the idea of a Jojo's bizarre adventure campaign, what the hell would that even look like? Regular people would be laughable with a stand at your side, but stands themselves are intricate and all have special rules. Would need some sort of weak mass production stand to work as enemy for random encounters
>>44513804
I had a friend who ran a JoJo game in Fate. He said it went well, as did his players.
I have no experience with either, so I can't really advise.
Got you covered Anon.
Enemy Stand User is a tattoo artist and he gives his followers tattoos that give them weak/limited Stand Power.
I realize Tattoo You is already taken but I still think it's up your alley.
>>44513804
JoJo does not have throwaway encounters. Every encounter should be meaningful, every opponent one-of-a-kind. It's better to think of a session in terms of what kind of unusual opponent will players face , a monster-of-the-week type scenario, rather than usual D&D roadtrip.
To pace the campaign you could add dangerous situations with no antagonist and no way to just punch through a problem. But no mooks and no "oh here are random orcs, roll for initiative."
Explain yourselves Rules Lawyers
>>44513476
Rules exist for a reason.
>>44514153
But clearly some things were misrepresented in the rules
Explain THIS!
Are your kobolds, cute, ugly, or other?
>>44511953
Ugly, the little bastards are infatuated with technology. Whether found in the wild or with orcs, Kobolds are almost always accompanied or working in some way with gremlins. Both of which cause more damage to machines than good. Doesn't keep them from being the only creature in the Orcish armies from being cunning enough to design machines, curiously enough they have excellent memories, capable of taking apart and putting machines back together almost perfectly. When taught to write, Kobolds are known to write...

Both, in their own special way.
>>44511953
Sexybolds in the sexy game.
Normalbolds in normal games.
No need for ugly. Goblins fill 'ugly, evil, contraptions' fine, no need for doublestacking.
Well /tg/? Reminder that even with mana you can't get the others.
Vitality, obviously. It's the only permanent one.
Invisibility

Hey all, I know that RPGs are supposed to be about who you are and not what you are, but I think that in DnD (or at least AD&D 2.0 which I play) the differences between races are almost non-existent. I actually pulled this graph out of my anus, but I think it is a relatively accurate representation of upper body strength in human males and females. Aside from the weakest men and strongest women, men are always stronger than women. If there were several different races, ranging form the bulky half-orcs to the smaller halflings and gnomes, imagine what these graphs would look...

I'm going to need a source for that chart. Also, actual percentages on the left side, and some objective measure of upper body strength along the bottom.
You know, so the chart actually demonstrates whatever your ignorant point actually is.
While I'm waiting, here's a troll.
>>44512252
>I'm going to need a source for that chart.
OP told us that it came from his ass.
a sedentary woman is about the same strength as a sedentary man
once you get into actual strength training or sports, THEN there will be a large disparity, where a woman who's trained 2 years will be about the same as a guy who's trained 6 months.
but obviously this is a troll thread because your chart is implying the strongest women in the world can't outlift the average male

I use a pen and paper but don't care if people use spindowns. They don't look as retarded as the ones looking around their dice for five minutes for the right number.
