TL;DR
You've won the Grail War! After a terrible struggle in which you risked your own life, the object of every human's desire is finally in your hands.
=============
"W-who are you?", you ask hesitantly.
The girl smiles at you and laughs. "I am your sister, of course! I am the Greater Grail".
"Oh", it's all you manage to comment....

An angry expression appears on her face again
"LIke that girl without legs! She wanted to kill you too! How is that even fair?"
"It wasn't, and I defeated her"
"But now you're friends? How can it be? You hated her too, didn't you, brother? You called her legless cunt one day too."
"I did. And I did hate her. But then I discovered that, more than anything else, she hated herself. I just tried to be the better person. Is it wrong?"
Your sister calms down, smiling with serenity and with her eyes closed.
"No,...

>No. I don't even know just how much I can ask of you.
As much as wishing for everyone to be happy would be nice, it's just not something that can be achieved, even with the Grail.

Goddammit.

"No, not really actually. I have too many things on my mind to decide yet".
"That's ok, that's ok! No need to rush. I wanted to show you around anyway!"
"Show me around?"
"Yes, I wanted to show you this reality, how it is, how it was, and how you changed it. Sure you don't believe that the coming of the Holy Grail has no impact on a reality?"
You swallow your saliva, as you're reminded that you're likely the reason for Hisao's death.

You're a novice adventurer. You're offered two weapons. An unremarkable steel sword, or the strongest pepperoni in existence.
Which do you take?
>>44173254
Is strong pepperoni a valuable thing in this setting, or feasibly able to be sold? Am I in dire need of a sword? Would the DM count said pepperoni as a blunt weapon? Do the magi of this realm desire extraordinarily tough meats to experiment on? Is the sword secretly taste of robust itialian meats? C'mon man we need details.
>>44173254
I'm Italian so accepting the pepperoni would be an offense to all my kin. I take the sword because I don't want to commit sudoku.
>>44175481
The only thing you know about the pepperoni is that it's roughly as long as a short sword, is relatively light, and that it is absolutely without peer in the pantheon of cured meats.
How do you describe fey portals in your game?
>>44171329
Trods? Dragon paths?
>>44171329
Inconspicuous and gradual. The idea is that you can wander into fairyland and not realize for a long time. Just describe the landscape slowly growing older, wilder, and weirder as the party goes.
Alternatively, inconspicuous and abrupt. Turn a corner and you're suddenly somewhere that is viscerally not where you were before.
The point is that the actual point of transition itself should not be observably magical. No glowing doorways in reality or shining runes or any of that. Just an abvandoned...

Dear /tg/,
ave you ever played with people that shouldn´t play pen and paper games ? That guys, normies or other scum ?
I am in the middle of a Call of Cthulhu-Game with some of the most annoying people that I have ever witnessed. My character is so close to just shooting them and ending the game.
Will be back with more
>>44134147
>normies shouldn't play
I dunno, I've had good experiences with my rugby team so far. I've ran a couple of simple campaigns with them and they seem to have a lot of fun, their sense of wonder and surprise is both endearing and entertaining.
Still, I wouldn't recommend you playing with anyone, only with those that you know that are nice and will have fun. If you invited your highschool bullies, it was your mistake.
>>44134147
>ave you ever played with people that shouldn´t play pen and paper games ?
Yes.
Me.
Sounds like you're the problem there OP

I've never played a TT game before so judging by all the tables I saw in guessing a lot for class I was thinking about being an inquisionor because crow man beating up heretics sounded cool too me

PREVIOUSLY ON LIVING WEAPON QUEST:
You meet Ciara and Nate Deveaux, the first people you've met since things went tits up that don't have an agenda involving you.

INITIATING GARDEN CHRONICLE PROGRAM
BOOKMARK...

>>44176281
You've managed to settle into something of a comfortable pace in your life following your meeting with Ciara. During the days you further her training as much as you can. You're impressed by the way she improves. You spend more time on this than you originally thought you would. But it's routine and it manages to keep your mind off of what your life used to be. You walk Ciara to and from work every night she has it, and an incident has yet to repeat itself since she and you began your arrangement.
After Nate returns home in the evenings, you begin to spend time with him as well. Not in quite the same capacity as Ciara, but he's useful in his own way. He shows you around Portland, occasionally inviting friends of his own around to spend time with the two of you as well, and you learn better how to blend in with other humans. Brother and sister both have learned not to ask of your past, and it seems that's how you work.
In the night hours though, between the times you pick up Ciara and leave Nate to his own devices, you patrol. At first you make it an excuse. Bring War to the unjust, keep your skills honed so they don't fall away from you, be prepared for wherever the road that you're on goes. As the days go by however, it's harder to hide from the truth: the violence is your way of coping with being abandoned by everything you'd ever known. The patrols keep you from lashing out at Ciara and Nate. You don't take nights off because deep down you know you enjoy it, more than anything else you've done in the short time you've been alive.
>>44176296
You find yourself tonight farther out from the city center and the small ghetto that you've come to reside in on a lead. Unfortunately not the kind that would lead you back to the Clergy or MacTaggart, but another one that's been just as much of a pain. Dealers in your area have led you to an industrial facility several miles away, abandoned by what public records shows.
In reality the facility's become a drug warren, a major production plant for methamphetamine. You've found several such...

Is Liliana Vess a tragic hero in the Aristotlian sense?
>The tragic hero is "a [great] man who is neither a paragon of virtue and justice nor undergoes the change to misfortune through any real badness or wickedness but because of some mistake."
>>44176233
I still wonder why Jace hasn't banged that vamp ass.
>>44176302
Liliana is a vampire now?
In other words, a true tragic character is one whose downfall was brought about by their own traits and circumstances, not through the circumstances of others.
A quest for power will do that to a lot of people.
I just recently got back into magic twords the end of theros block after a long hiatus, Ive been trying to research and get cards from the sets that I missed, but after looking at the spoilers for dragons maze, why did people dislike it so much? It seems like it has a lot of interesting cards.
Why the hate /tg/?
>>44174451
There's a variety of reasons, but mainly because it came after Return to Ravnica and Gatecrash, which were both very well received sets (Gatecrash a little less so) so in comparison Dragon's Maze was a little underwhelming.
However the fact of the matter was the vast majority of the cards in the set just weren't powerful enough, or efficiently costed enough, to make an impact in Constructed. The split cards were cool but Turn//Burn was the only one that saw any real play as the others just...

So as a primary EDH player, would it be stupid to buy my GF an 80$ box of this for us to play sealed with and then use in EDH decks?
>>44175232
Yes it would actually. Voice is the only card that is actually worth money in this set, so the only way you're likely to get a good deal out of that purchase is if you open two of them, and some number of Shocklands (some of the DGM packs had shocklands in the land slot) which off the top of my head you'd have a roughly 10% chance of happening. You're better off just buying the cards you actually want from DGM and saving yourself like $60. Especially since you're supposed to play DGM sealed...

somebody tell me a good night tale
>>44174378
We used to writefag a long time ago before it was banned. I made roll-threads that had those 10x10 grids, roll a number and you write a story about the character you got.
I remember we were held back by character limits and had to four-post our stories, some went longer.
Alas, 2008 it died. I went to /k/ and /co/ and never looked back. Mods wanted /tg/ to be a quest place, and I supported it at first. But then I left.
That's a story for you.
>>44174484
So why are you here? You're more than looking back, no?
>>44174521
Because I've been through all the interesting threads and I don't feel like playing video games before work. MTG card threads and to to see if any of the old artfags are still around. They don't get on their stream channels until evening.
>Not basing your fantasy europe on the Netherlands
Totally disgraceful.
>>44173703
Sell me on it, then. What's so rad about the Netherlands in historical times?
>>44173740
Nobody remembers them, so hipsters can funpost about them and admonish others for paying more attention to mainstream european states.

Can anyone give me a decent rundown on Fury of Dracula? Waiting on it to give as a gift, looks intriguing. Also, general decent horror game suggestions?
>>44171788
>Can anyone give me a decent rundown on Fury of Dracula?
Yes. Don't run it, it's a bad adventure. We struggled through it ourselves and ended up canning the game half way through and moving on to something else.
> decent horror games
Well, it's more a style of GMing, of sublety and nonconfrontation. Don't let the player see the monster until it is too late. Add in creepy effects like broken televisions that make static...

Hello everyone. BMJ here.
At the end of this month/early next month, I plan to release a new draft of AdEva. This is planned to be the last draft of the core books for a while, as after that I am going to shift focus to the OD book, and the Player and GM books will not be touched again until OD is ready for playtesting.
Before that happens, does anyone have any feedback on things that they strongly feel need to be fixed or included in the game before I put the core books on a shelf for what is probably going to be more than a few months?
For those not already...

Entropy, I guess?
Could you be more specific? I'm not sure how to answer that question.
Putting the canon Angels in the order they appeared in the series would be slightly more convenient than listing them alphabetically.
