Disney Villains Victorious is a /tg/ homebrew project based on the glorious idea of a world, not entirely unlike our own, in which (almost) all the villains from (almost) all the Disney animated feature films were not defeated at the ends of their movies but were instead victorious, completing their goals in part or in whole.
It is a world in which Ursula rules the seas, defied only by the uncatchable Pirate Lords and the might of Atlantis. It is a world where the grasslands, the jungles and the forests are prowled not only by fearsome primal beasts like Shere Khan and Scar, but also by the ruthless, tireless hunters that stalk them. It is a world where Europe has been divvied up between sorcerous queens like Maleficent, inquisitorial clergymen like Frollo, and dark gods like Hades and Chernabog.
It is not, however, a world completely devoid of courage, heroism or hope. Around the world, the Player Characters and their allies plot, plan, fight, strive and win their own victories against the villains that would rule them. The time to fight and to be free is now.

Improving the flesh bags edition
Hello everyone and welcome to ShitterNormie's Machine Civ part 5!
>What's happening in the civ Shitter?
Excellent question anon! We are the head AI of a group of drones and multi-purpose machines. Remember anon...if the main AI is destroyed the civ is lost!
>Where are we Shitter?
We are located in the side of a volcano. Our base (which can be given a new name) was built by our old masters: The gnomes. They're dead now because of orcs. But here we are! We are a large super computer that is position in the center of the main room of the volcano-side base. So far the current rooms we have are 1 door leading to the outside world, 1 drone building facility, 1 machine building facility, 1 steel mine, 1 generator room, 1 Machine of Burden building facility, 1 Copybot building facility and 1 locked room. We only have one current ally at the moment: the gnolls.
>Did anything happen last time?
When has nothing ever happened? Something always happens anon. We managed to wipe out the trolls and took no losses other than some worthless flesh bags, the gnolls accepted us as their allies and we can trade with them now, we unlocked the copybot and are currently working on creating gnoll bots, #6 got slapped with troll liver, and we have a favorite! #11! He's just too cute.

Hey guys I'm hopefully running a short 2-3 hour one shot of Dungeon World tomorrow just using the basic rules and classes, would you be able to help me with some fun ideas I could grab for a quick plot for some one shot action?
Doesn't the game already kind of do something like that? Going around the table, getting bits of a scenario, and forming them together?
Have the party check out some spooky happenings in a graveyard, find the miners who were buried there can't rest their spirits, and when they go check out a mine they find a super scary enemy to fight.
Look in the back of the book page 384 or so, the game calls it making fronts and the SRD does a much better job of explaning it than the book :http://book.dwgazetteer.com/fronts.html
In priciple, it is not magic or hard word, just logiacally linking creative elemets in a way that helps adventure and having fun.
Just think of some interesting group, faction or race,( maybe the merfolk civlization off the shore of the Grayocean, the centaur hordes, the pack of wervolves prowling the woods for victims, The mysterious gaunt peole of the lost civilization who emerged from the caves) or monster doing something interesting and go from there, Who are they? What do they want to accomplish? Wo do they serve?, How are they going about it? Who are their enemmies.?How do they impact the land and the kingdom around them? (Have they scared away the traders bring unrest and famine? Ore haw they become the object of worship for the cult that´s been gaining power?
Also, have a read through the gude, it will help you a ton when running the game.
I will also take the ooprtunity to ask a question that doesn´ t deserve a seperate thread:
How does the option "…and someone interferes with you, add its instinct to their roll" for the ranger move Command work? I get what it is for, your companion causing trouble for you at inopportune moments (l ike you dog getting startled, whimpering and giving you away whe you´re trying to be stealthy, or the pony squatting down and trying to roll overwhile you´re riding it) But do what roll do you add it, when enemies don´t make move rolls. To damege rolls?But every interfepence inconvinience like that can´t fictionally cause damage can it. Whai is that trying to to? Also for my own use, I modfied it to say " or take the [disadvantage stat] as a penalty to your own roll, as appropriate" to account for enemies not making move rolls. Does that make sense? Toughts?

Also, excuse my typos, please. It is too freaking late for me to be mentally able to proofread posts
Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, dealt with some shady fellows who were following him, warned a person to not do something they will regret and poked Quissonce until she could cast magic naturally. Now, Alan ponders on the scope of his power.

>poked Quissonce until she could cast magic naturally
Best way to describe it.
“Alan made you a sorcerer?!” Eve shouts.
Quissonce's eyes go wide and she quickly glances around the room before running over and putting her hand over Eve's mouth. “Shhhhhhhh. Not so loud. You don't know who might be listening.” Who? Ed? When Eve gives a thumbs up that she'll stop talking Quissonce lets go. “And no, Alan didn't make me a sorcerer. He gave me some insight into how the two of you manage to cast so efficiently. And I've adapted it as best I can.”
You speak up. “But still. You were able to master that in less than an hour from a touch?”
Quissonce thinks about it for a second. “Well, two touches technically. It provided a very stable baseline for me to make my discovery from.”
Huh, you didn't know what your new power would do when you tapped into it. So with a touch you can make a person . . . learn how to cast magic without bat guano and sticks of butter? Great for all the wizards in the Circle, if you even want to give them a leg up like that, but it seems very specific and not too useful. No, there's got to be more to it than that.

Hey one of my favorite quests is running, awesome!
>Year 2027
>Dice and other implements of chance are made illegal under penalty of death
>True gamers continue to roll dice in secret while their duplicitous counterparts inform on rolling activity for a pat on the head and an extra bread ration
Which camp would you be in?
>>44251487
Both, of course. I work as a spy for the government revealing dirty die droppers for the reward, and in secret I drop the die myself with a select few of the worthy. In this way, we can weed out those we don't like or who aren't worthy, sustaining a pure bred faction to worship our dice, and benefit from ration handouts regularly.
Life is good.
Viva la Dice Rolling.
>>44251487
I would be in the camp that uses the statistical data on executions as a pseudo-random number generator, thereby making executing me for possessing an implement of chance itself a possession of an implement of chance. It won't stop them from killing me, of course, but at least I'll get a laugh out of it.
What's your favourite basic dice rolling system? For checks in general, I mean
A single dice, two-three of the same minor die, a dice pool to signify stats?
Tell me about that basic system that you'd want to take with you and use it everywhere
>>44251457
I personally adore Die Pools but my players don't, which is a damn shame.
I live and die by the One Roll Engine. It's the fastest, most intuitive system I think I've ever come across.
Basically you roll a pool of d10s, usually made from Stat + Skill, and you look for a match, like 4,4 or 6,6,6. The number of dice in the matched set is called the Width, and the number on the dice is called Height, so 6,6,6 has a Width of 3 and a Height of 6, and is expressed s 3x6.
This tells you a whole lot. It tells how fast the action is (an action with greater Width is faster than one with lower Width), how good the performance is (based on Height). Most importantly for combat, it resolves initiative, damage and hit location all at once (Width tells you your speed and how much damage you did, Height gives you the location).
Once you play a few games with it, it becomes effortless to boil down any action or number of actions into a single roll. It's beautiful.
>>44252182
Hit location works in such a way that the head is not any harder to hit than the other body parts, but it's nearly impossible to defend from attacks targeted at the head. Doing things quick doesn't let you take more turns no matter how high your width is.
Orcs who practice a heretical religion have been immigrating en masse into the more civilized kingdoms of the elves and the humans, under the pretense of a dark cult conquering the orcish wastelands.
Many orcish infiltrators of the dark cult have already snuck in with the teeming hordes of refugees. Some have wreaked havoc and terror in the civilized kingdoms with mass murders, while others lie in wait to do the same thing.
Worse, the dark cult's propaganda has been ensnaring the hearts and minds of the "civilized" orcs who were already living in the elven and human kingdoms. Many orcish youths have been pledging their dark hearts to the cult.
What will your party do to stop this crisis?
>>44251404
no.
>>/pol/
>>44251404
Accuse the GM of not having a plot planned for that week so he just went with something topical and easy.
Dominate the local administration and churches to open designated churches of the new orc cult. Absorb their religion, ten the party goes out and kills their weakened gods.
Which are the worst books in the Horus Heresy series? Would like to know which ones I should skip.
>>44250639
All of them
>>44250914
beat me to it.
OP, the heresy is far better when it's vague myth and legends. The books only succeed in making everyone look like autists and retards.
>>44250639
Some how they all manage to be the worst book. Its quite an accomplishment, just not a good one.
what's the next thing GW will drop?
>>44250616
SoB or....AoS as a whole...
Though I'll admit the second is just wishful dreaming
With any luck, the Tau will go the way of the dodo.

>Wanna help me make a couple first level characters for Dungeon Crawl Classics?
After braving their first dungeon and slaying the Serpentlord Saurog the Demonsnake, the players get to choose a class and become full fledged adventurers!
The players have already chosen what class they would like to join, but they actually went through the dungeon with a handful of peasants following them. I was wondering if any of you would like to help me roll up their stats and choose their classes. I could do it myself, but I figured doing it with you guys might be kind of fun.
The two peasants that I'd like to "Level up" are Paul and Rodrigo. I'll give you a brief rundown of what went down in the dungeon, so we can have a little bit of background.
>Before the adventure, the party convinces a bunch of peasants to go with them. (Not letting them know that they're essentially fodder.)
>All of the peasants died in terrible traps and battles, except these two.
>Paul managed to escape the dungeon with only a single hit point. He was hit with multiple traps and even got attacked by a warrior golem, and somehow survived. (He is now wearing leather armor and carrying a spear. He owns nothing else.)
> Rodrigo was slightly smarter, and stayed alert when the players sent him to do various tasks. In the final battle with Saurog, Rodrigo fought valiantly and actually dodge blows, before dealing a heavy blow to the demon serpent.
The first thing we need to do is roll ability scores. DCC uses Strength, Agility, Stamina, Personality, Intelligence, and luck, and they must be recorded in the order they are rolled (3d6), without adjusting them or relocating them.
Want to roll? We'll start with Paul.
>>44249964
Alright, I'll roll 3d6.
>>44250003
M'kay. Roll 3d6, six times and tell us the results.
Rolled 2, 4, 4 = 10 (3d6)
>>44250003
Or forget to.
What do you do when you catch someone syphoning your luck?
Tie a bunch of black cats to yourself, then arm yourself with a mirror shield and ladder club.
Then beat that shit head to death.
>>44249926
Stab them in the back.
>>44250050
>Stab them in the back.
And if they're actually a luck demon?
