Can you stop using the same picture for your shitty threads at least? Its really obvious shitposting.
Is Pizza a thing in your setting, anon?
You wouldn't deny your players one of the most universal and basic meals, right?

Fuck off gluten shill.
Also, please stop posting in general. This thread is terrible even ignoring the gross misrepresentation of dietary science you just committed.
>>44399430
The five elements are Fire, Water, Earth, Air, and Pizza. Many Scientists and Magicians used to claim that there were only 4 elements, but after many experiments and much research, everyone now agrees that fire is indeed an element.
Really though, how about we try to create a co-functioning Fallout-themed vault. I saw on /mlp/ they created a damn town and operated it through hierarchy and a whole lot of gogole sheets. Since SS13 is a thing that could be similar we could try and make this a thing.
Intrigued. What if the Vault number is Vault 420. A majority of decisions are made by the upper class members, and are mostly for their own benefit, paying little attention to the issues of the lower class. But the lower class has no objections, because their food and waters are laced with a drug that hazes perception and senses.
Or we could try being a normal vault
>>44399017
How so? None of the vaults are really "Normal". They're not just shelters, they were made for social experiments
I'm curious. Have you ever had a favourite player? What was so great about them?
Obviously blatant favouritsm is no good, but as a GM what do you really like to see in your players? Enthusiasm is definitely a top contender for me.
and as a player, what do you like to see in your fellow players?
I am my favourite player
I have traits I prefer in players. I'm running games for mostly new players right now so they are not developed yet, but I like players who can get past the whole early stage of role playing, the murder hobo phase.
Like I said most of mine right now are new so I don't mind, but I dislike when veteran role players fall back on that, because it's just so easy and not interesting to run for.
So ya, my favorite players are those that give me an interesting character to work with.
As a player, I enjoy playing with people who:
Aren't afraid to let in-character choices and decisions cause a -little- party drama,
Are willing to compromise a little for the good of the group, or at least willing to warn us when an action would cause their character to fly off the handle/what-have-you,
Play characters with actual personality, not just "I get drunk and shoot things," and
Understand that my character's opinion of their character is not necessarily my opinion of their character or the player.
Why are humans so militant? Why can't we all just get along? The galaxy is a big place. Surely we can coexist.
Sounds good.
>>44394069
it's the only way to keep us motivated
Sure, but after you give me what you have there
This was a game full of wasted potential. The game was decent, but it could have been improved on with alternate game modes. Too bad WizKids died and it has gone silent. Any thoughts on the game?
>>44393558
I loved collecting all the ships.
Only got to play the game a couple of times, using a way too small pool of ships.
Longships seemed broken though.
>>44393558
My giant Box O Ships comes in surprisingly useful while playing 7th Sea.
Or, for that matter, using them for historicals. They're generally acceptable for use playing Wooden Ships and Iron Men, for instance.
>>44393999
1. Sick trips.
2. NEA, go back to the BattleTech containment thread. Don't you have something involving WarShips to post?
>PC claims to be a human supremacist.
>Has a harem of alien girls, robots, and companion races.
>Not a single human girl to be found.
Wtf? I thought humans were the best?
>>44391850
Spoilers: Racism can be used to justify literally any course of action.
These stink face guardsman threads are always pretty dumb.
>>44391893
Then why just not post in them?
Does anyone have character art of Socialites, Merchants, and other fast-talkers with a fantasy or historical bent? I've been looking on the net but I thought asking here would yield me higher quality (and probably more interesting results)
>>44302172
Posting some more of mine to hopefully get this thread going

Thanks!
You are Tsukuda Ryouta, a Shinigami of the 12th Division, an investigator of abnormal occurrences.
You were recently deployed to the Human World's New York City to investigate the disappearances of three Shinigami previously deployed to that area. With the assistance of another local Shinigami named Soren, you were able to get to the bottom of it and slay the Hollow responsible for the disappearances. You had to spend some time in the city after those events have transpired in order to make sure that the problem has been dealt with. Because anything out of the ordinary...

Urahara's office is the same as usual, though you can't help but notice that the piles of papers threatening to collapse his desk have changed from the last time you've been here - but not in their amount. It's also a bit surprising to see the aforementioned Lieutenant here, with her ever-present expression of mild disgust and annoyance on her freckled face. Leaning against the wall by the doorway with her arms crossed over her chest, she gives you just a passing glance, her spiky blond pigtails...

"I apologize for the mess, Ryouta-kun. I've been so caught up in some work that I've begun to neglect some my other duties again..." He clears his throat and returns to the subject at hand. "That human who hid the Hollow in his body - you must be wondering how such a thing is possible at all. Well, Jack White is something we've taken to classifying as 'Fullbringer', a human with special spiritual abilities. We've been encountering such humans quite frequently, don't you think? We believe that our occultist from Germany also belongs to that type of spiritually aware humans. Why is that such a frequent occurrence nowadays, you must be wondering? There are actually some conditions that must be met in order to make the creation of a so-called 'Fullbringer' possible, you see."
"When a person who has endured a Hollow's attack - and survived, as a rule of thumb - then goes on to give birth to a child, the residual spiritual energy left behind in their bodies after such an attack is passed on to the child. The parents are too old to make use of that foreign Reiryoku, but a child's body can adapt to it and receive spiritual abilities. You see, during the Great Wars, at one point it became impossible to keep track of all the dead, so such attacks on humans were inevitable. And now that the next generation is taking over, a considerable chunk of which has had their parents as victims of Hollow attacks, well, encountering so many spiritually aware and capable humans is not surprising. Hopefully, though, these tendencies will wither out over the course of the next century... if the humans even survive that long."

Urahara's casual smile fades, though his tone is still laced with interest; very befitting a researcher discussing a subject of his expertise. Though you're not exactly sure what Urahara Kisuke's expertise is... or how many of those he has. "The so-called Cold War seems to be nearing its end, and the threat of total annihilation is cooling down, but the humans still have enough weapons of mass destruction in their possession to wipe out their entire race. Shinigami aren't in danger, of course,...

How fucked is the inquisition if the Emporer is revived?is the Ecclesiarchy less fuckedpossibly of the emporer being declared a heretic
Why would he punish people for being ignorant?
>>44390355
You don't think the hypocrisy and attack on known loyalist goes beyond ignorance into the realm of willful manipulation of the Emporers will?
Can fauns eat meat?
yeah probably
I hope this is of immediate use to you in your games OP.
Depends on the setting.

We should make an OP Pasta edition
Tells us all of your setting, then reply to others. Discuss cliches, common tropes(or whatever you call 'em) and interesting and/or unique situations and themes in your settings or settings you're a fan of.
This is a place where one can discuss a setting for not only RPGs but /tg/-related fiction also, by it written by yourself or by an author you feel doesn't get the spotlight as much as he should.
To provide the thread with inciting material, I'll post an idea I had after watching Macross and a few...

The basic idea is that for act I of the story, it'll establish just how much of a shithole earth has become. It's basically pic related, giant robot and all. at the end of act I aliens come to try and bring peace through superior firepower(ie, they try to disable the military of the world). But act II has former foes form bitter alliances to combat this existentially terrifying foe. The aliens are getting annoyed, but push on in trying to do minimum damage. end of act II has half the aliens going rogue from command because they have orders to completely obliterate...

Are the aliens hot?
So in a low fantasy setting, I want to make a country economically powerful, but militarily isolated. What achieves this better, large mountain range, or being an island nation?

I pushed myself and finished my shitty partial translation of Night Wizard 3rd edition. I hope you can enjoy, because this was a shitton of work!

What's your favorite character concept you'd like to play in 5e?
A warrior whose main contribution to a battle isn't directly killing enemies, but harrying enemies with relatively minor attacks and using his tactical know-how to coordinate his allies into a lean, mean, fighting machine.
>>44378264
Mortal prison warlock who's just an average terrified normal dude who happens to have a horrifying extraplanar entity renting out his body.
They're getting used to it.
I tend to run games rather then play them, but as DM I get to create loads of concepts. Current favorite is a wizard sent off to study with druids by his superiors. Has spent the past 4 years having to live in a forest with druids basically exiled from his city. He has written his thesis and just wants to head back home and get back to city life. But his superior (a pc wizard) wants more info on how druid magic works and keeps extending the length of his stay.
>D&D 5e divides the game into "three pillars of adventure": exploration, social interaction, combat
>combat still gets the vast, VAST majority of core rules
>instead of giving every class at least 20% capabilities in each "pillar of adventure," dumbass martials like barbarians and fighters still have only the base skills each PC gets, 95% of their class features for combat, and no good reason to try raising Intelligence/Wisdom/Charisma

Because the point of a roleplaying system is an arbitration system for what happens during conflict
Other than skill rolls to moderate how various things are performed during an adventure the rest of the game is up to the people playing it
