What would a rabid robots' rights activist would insist robots have to be called, assuming that he finds "robot", "artificial intelligence", and "synthetic" all somehow offensive/disrespectful? I'm not looking for something too blatently /pol/ish or goofy, it's an otherwise serious game. The activist is just a quirky side-character, and excessive political correctness on the subject of robots (who, for the most part, don't mind being called that at all) is just a part of the joke.
So what "proper" word would...

Noncellular lifeforms
With an accompanying long-winded lecture about how the words like "mechanical" or "inorganic" don't describe the subject properly.
"Non-Human Intelligence" possibly. If you want to push it you can reverse the order to "Intelligences that aren't Human" or some other clunky turn of phrase. I remember once being in a lecture about the politically correct way to refer to disabled people, and one point raised by the lecturer was that for maximum correctness you must say "people who have [condition here]", rather than "deaf/blind/[condition here] people". This is to emphasise that the individual is a person first, and not to define them by their disability. This of...

Heh, not an issue in my native language. We put the noun before the adjective anyway. Of course, we mostly refer to them by an individual noun which simply means "disabled person".

Shadowrun not-general is over at >>44343952 go there to talk about the vidya.
I've got a question I didn't want to fold into the OP. One of the Big 10 is getting taken off the Corporate Court soon, right? Any guesses on which one? I've heard NeoNET is gonna be the one taking a hit, but I'm tempted to use a different one for the purposes of a campaign.
Stick-n-Shock or Gel rounds? Which do you generally prefer?

A lot of the time, Evil deities in RPGs are pretty cookie cutter "God of zombies, god of blood, god of sickness" stuff. Post about the evil gods in your campaigns that have an interesting twist or concept.

Separating gods from the setting they preside over is pretty haram. I think it'd be better to just keep the specifics like name, how they're worshipped, and their cult out of it and stick to describing the archetype. Like the idea of a goddess of spring also being goddess of revolution/upheaval or advocating a form of anarcho-primitivism over civilization at all costs.
>>44360529
Anorgash, the God of Nothing.
He was one of the children of the gods that created reality. When his siblings were given domains to govern over he was left without anything to rule over by accident. Embittered, he fled into the darkness between worlds to scheme. Now, he seeks to destroy the world and claim all souls of mortals for himself. Why?
So that he can createa new world where mortals can be reincarnated. A world without suffering, hunger or death. He legitimately wants to kick other gods off...

You settle on the best intelligence service in the world, CNN World News. The really nice thing about CNN is that it endlessly repeats every vague rumor and panic-smeared sightings, which is exactly the intel you need - panic-smeared half-glimpsed sightings are the entrails from which you divine Abyssal intentions, and more importantly it tells you where a show of force is needed as well as actual substantive patrols. The volume is at zero instead of Mute, you huff with annoyance and crank it up.

The picture changes to a view of a busy Vietnamese fishing village; boats of every shape and size, from dirty little scows to brightly painted trawlers to traditional sampans, their characteristic fan-shaped sails handsome and exotic in the breeze as they tried to navigate a harbor absolutely stuffed with anchored vessels. An older, wizened fisherman appears on-screen, his face obscured by a digital distortion. The slick, slightly British accent of the translator follows his gruff words by a half-beat. “People sail out and don't come back. The military flies jets over...

Still soaking-wet from your unplanned debut as a human javelin, you limp up the sidewalk towards your door, the tapping of your cane on the concrete giving away your approach. Shoukaku's long white hair flows around her like satin as she turns to investigate, her hand covering her surprised mouth.
“Admiral Settle?”
“M'lady,” you say, tipping your khaki cap politely, a little saltwater running off it.
She gives you the once-over. “Uh... you're......

But crystals are cool and sparkly
Its true, the crystal sword I use is an asshole. A useful asshole, but an asshole.
Are bastard swords only created by unmarried smiths?

First, an explanation: At the end of the last thread I made a “last post of the night” and, upon seeing an unanticipated response, made another post to give the thread some closure and give me a better opportunity to prepare for this one, hoping to catch as many people as possible before they left. I then made a strawpoll as a follow-up to make sure I was getting a fair read on people's opinions.
Suffice to say, as anyone who follows this quest at all will know, this didn't work out too well.
And thus, a retcon, for the...

“Are you gonna be alright, or did you want me to stick around.”
Jennifer turns over, facing away from you.
“You were going to leave anyway. I was hoping that you'd stay a little while, maybe go for some breakfast, but I'll be fine. I do appreciate your thoughtfulness though.”
You set your pack down.
“So is that a yes or a not to you being alright?”

What makes a good dungeon crawler?
What can I do to let people have a good time fighting through a dungeon? Both in terms of the dungeon itself and in the system I use.
>>44397234
Well, for the DM's part, there's "interesting location".
Historically, dungeons were prisons/basements of castles, but in fantasy world dungeons can mean anything from that, to tombs, wizard labs, etc.
I feel like the more interesting types of dungeons would be ones with clear purpose and some of the remaining pieces of its purpose still functional.
For example, an underground alchemy lab would have all kinds of faded and old notes on various experiments that had been...

Alright so an interesting, still semi-functional/living location. Alright.
Any ideas about what a good system for this sort of thing is? What the important elements are?

Your name is Miyako Mitsushita, third year at Rakuta Third Middle School. It is winter, and despite only practicing for a couple hours in the dojo as part of your obligation for the kendo club, the sky has already darkened. You are walking down one of the many smaller streets of the city of Yokote. The lamps are the only light that illumate the streets, the frigid winds making you pull your winter coat closer. On the road to your right you hear a car, the sound of it's engine resounding throughout the silence. As the vehicle comes into view, you see it skid off the road...
