After failing a perception check, we offer her some goods in exchange for her blessings.
I mean, besides that, does she live up to her reputation?

She makes decent but overrated synthpop, so no.

Guys, I've been playing a lot of Dragon WarriorI know that's not the original name, but I'm avoiding filters here, and now I'm hankering for that old Japanese Console RPG experience, and while I like 5th edition, it's not quite doing it for me. Is there an RPG out there that would suit me?
Needs:
>Class based
>Uses MP instead of slots or something extravegant
>Simple skill/combat resolution mechanic
>Enough depth...

Bumping for Dragon Quest. Don't give a shit about crunch, but hoping for fluff. Got any of that, OP?
>>44508538
Fluff? Dragon Quest? What exactly would you be looking for?
>>44508703
I played and beat the first one way long ago. Tried the second and third, but couldn't muster patience for them. 8 was next, then 9 (my favorite) then tried the one for the wii. As far as I know, the only thing that remains constant from one game to another is the monsters and music. Those are easy, but I want something more like a story plot.
The halflings got guns now. No other race in the setting does.
How does this change your game?
>>44507224
this is actually already canon in my setting. not much changes.
>>44507224
Trivially true in my setting: there are no halflings and no guns.

Its called Arcane Codex.

What are your thoughts on the Hipsterhammer movement? Is it basically the same thing as the Old School Renaissance, but for Warhammer instead of D&D?
the fuck does that mean
I would like to cause physical harm to the person responsible for that image.
>>44506174
I've seen the same thing with Magic.
The thing is, the OSR actually produces content, it's not just a sterile celebration of "muh old days".
Should character backstories be filled out slowly--each little piece of information revealed getting complete attention? Should backstories be revealed all at once with a single powerful narrative thrust? Maybe character backstories are best left completely mysterious; all their juicy narrative nuggets intact and untasted? Or perhaps backstories should be well-explored and known by all?
What is best?
>>44503424
>tasting the back stories nuggets
Ew, sounds shitty op. Back story should be handled slow and sensual- er, I mean, well paced.
>>44503424
Holy shit those thighs....
And I think that a characters backstory should be revealed the way the character would reveal it.
I always have the backstory other players see and the backstory the DM has slightly different, and let the two become closer and closer (Or further apart if my character is a dirty liar) as the game continues.
>>44503424
Generally speaking there should be a reason for exploring a character's backstory, otherwise it's just shameless indulgence. One of my favorite characters started off with a very flat backstory, but over time it was gradually fleshed out until it was something you could really sink your teeth into. Sometimes it's better to just let things fall into place rather than trying to force it.
Can we adapt Star Wars the RPG to D&D 5e rules?
That shit needs to be simplified a ton.

Illl be honest I only tapped this thread to look at Bastillas tits
Doesn't Edge of The Empire exist?
>>44503393
I don't think bastilla was that stacked in the game.

Just play FFGSWRPG
The 1d100 edition.
Make a character's background based off the result of a 1d100 roll. <50 is shitty. >50 is not so shitty life. First make the roll then write the background.

How come chaos cultists are so often called heretics in WH40K?
Their teachings can't be heretical, considering its completely different religion. They should be called heathens insetad.
>>44500984
saying such seems a little heretical anon are you sure your not a heretic.
>>44501003
I think he's a motherfucking heretic anon perhaps we should burn him out anon
>>44500984
If they're calling Him of Terra a corpse god, it means they are recognising His divinity.
Otherwise they would simply go "Hurr Durr, the Emprah doesn't exist! Look at me I'm a shitty cultist I worship Nurgle by soiling myself".
What's even the point of this race? Everything dark eldars do Chaos does better they have no own gimmick, nothing that catches attention people hate on Tau but at least Tau have their own personality instead of being worse Slaanesh cult mixed with tamer Khorne one.
>>44500549
>Worse Slaanesh
Anon, you don't read a lot of Dark Eldar lore, do you? Elder Dark Eldar fucking laugh at Slaaneshi Cults like they're children pretending to be edgy.

You're not playing tabletop, are you?

DE are every bit as bad on the TT as CSM, probably even worse.
Age: 736
Location: Planet Frieza
Information: After defeating the mighty Ginyu Force, Daikon and the others trained for several months before heading to Planet Frieza to challenge the galactic tyrant. Even with Daikon's Super Saiyan powers, however, Frieza proved too much. Savagely beating most of the Saiyans, Frieza was angered by Daikon's refusal to give up, and began to torture the Saiyan before Sabi interfered. Frieza defeated Sabi with a blast of energy, prompting Daikon to go into a rage and unlock further powers.
Welcome to Saiyan Quest. This takes place in the years Frieza controlled Planet Vegeta, as the Saiyans grow in strength and try to find a way to free themselves.
Voting will operate on a first to five system, at least for the time being.
Dialogue is allowed to be added to votes, as are actions (though I'll ignore what I consider shitposting)
During battles, options will usually have a number assigned to them. After that vote has won, players will roll a d100, and have three chances to match or beat that number.
If a 100 is rolled, it is considered...

Something snaps inside you, and you let out a yell, feeling an entirely new reservoir of power opening up to you as the ground beneath you trembles, chunks of rock are ripped up and disintegrated, and nearby buildings crumble into dust.
Frieza stares at you in surprise and confusion, not sure what's happening. He adopts a stance that will allow him to attack or defend at a moment's notice.
Your muscles bulge, and sparks of electricity crack around you. The ground beneath...

Much time was spent in hyperspace dodging around the inner rim. You kept sure not to stay around one planet too long. You made sure that your way was subversive and relatively muddled to keep any pursuers guessing. That meant what should’ve been a couple days trip through a hyperspace lane turned into a week and a half of planet hopping until you made it to Coruscant. You hope...

“Managable. Lev’s working the turrets, I’ve been working with R3 on fixing up some targeting programming for him. We don’t have too many spare circuitry lying around I’m afraid,” she says. “But when we hit planetside, I’ll go out and buy my own, don’t worry about it.” You nod. Good, good, that one less money thing to worry about. “By the way, we are heading to Coruscant, right?” You nod again, folding your arms. “Um… isn’t that the Imperial Capi- wait, no. I’m sounding...

You'll be putting them in danger if they don't have a solid cover story as to why and how they got so much money. IF you can get one, then sure. But I'd advise you keep some for yourself at least.

“I'll see what I can do about gathering intel on the nearby Behemoths,” she tells you. “My little birds only fly so far, but I've been developing some contacts in the swamp. Failing that, we could always look around Eluneia.”
That's an option that hadn't occurred to you. “We'll explore our options. Whatever gives...

Hai
Daylight grows wan as you step through the gates of your village once more. The guard gives you a cursory wave as he winches the gates back into position, as much a sign of respect as a greeting. You've become very well known in the village in a very short span of time. Perhaps that's not surprising given the size of the community. Your run fingers through your hair, shaking the last of the springwater from the roots.
Your feet trace the familiar paces back toward the workshop hut on the far side of the main thoroughfare. As they do your mind races along a different...

The Mine has an odd mix of claustrophobia and space. The walls are rough but clearly worked by tools; tracks for railcars form natural routes that are all but abandoned. You hear the sounds of work and tools, echoing to and from everywhere, as well as the bellow of massive furnaces from below, in New Hell.
There's even a bit, when the air is just right, of bird calls in the distance.
You make a point of smoking your pipe rather than the awful cigars, and though she's still tense and angry,...
