So, Wasteland is in the same set as Waste, the basic land.
That'll be easy for noobs to grasp
>>44160513
Well not really. Wasteland is in Expeditions and Wastes are in Oath of the Gatewatch
>>44159515
>implying Wasteland will ever be printed ever again, ever
That's not even the right set symbol. Come on, son!

>are you thinking about GMing a campaign? what's the setting?
Yep, this is it. And I'm really unsure on what I'm doing. Players want 1800s dungeonpunk, a genre I have little experience with. Everything I have for experience/inspiration drags me back into high fantasy.
What do?
Screencap of a story I posted quite a while ago. Going to be running the continuation of it in the next week, hopefully.
>are you thinking about GMing a campaign? what's the setting?
I have an idea I'm working on. There'll be 4 players who will play a unit of black-ops operators who go on covert missions ala Mission Impossible/James Bond. They will have to break into government buildings like embassies or private buildings. Some missions will be in different countries. Some missions permit the use of deadly force, others don't. Some missions will only be about eliminating a target, others will be about saving a high profile hostage held...

Let's create a kingdom, /tg/. Everything said about this kingdom is true unless it conflicts with something previously stated in the thread.
To start, it is a large island nation that has existed for centuries.
>>44159401
It is populated by birds that are spies for the king.
The inhabitants of the island try to trick the spy birds by feeding them all in a central park away from their houses and families.
>>44159422
Few people know about these birds' true purpose, and those that do are viewed as conspiracy nuts and insane.

So I'm worldbuilding for a space-opera type sci-fi setting, and I need some ideas for various species of aliums. Help bls /teeg/.
>>44159283
Alien races are the easiest kind to make. Do you have no creativity?
>>44159283
Just watch Space Dandy
>>44159283
A species native to gas giants made out of metallic hydrogen and transition metals. When leaving their preferred environment they have to wear heavy pressure suits to keep themselves from explosively decompressing.
Let's see some throwbacks to a time when MtG art was good, none of that horrible cartoony Superjace shit.
> implying there has ever been good MTG art
Nah. There's only old-ass cartoon paintings, and new 3D CGI bullcrap.
Pokemon has the best art of any CCG, Magic art can't even compare. Of course pokemon as a card game is shit, but the art is frankly objectively superior to that of any Magic card.

How did you misspell Yugioh so badly?
In the campaign I'm running, one of the NPCs is an older warrior. Not a man of incredible skill or mighty strength, or even great glory, but a stalwart, taciturn fellow who has seen many things and weathered them. The PCs haven't known him for too long and haven't seen him in action too much, but they like him. He also has a magical sword of indeterminate (but apparently modest) power he always fondly describes "his loyal friend, always at his side and always trustworthy".
Last session, this NPC was grievously wronged and wounded by the BBEG's...

The sword is always at the hands of its owner when they need it, literally. If they are disarmed and thrown into the dungeons, it will just be there, under some dirty blankets or a bench, or even their goddamn pantleg.
Their faithful ally, always at their side, and always trustworthy.
Have you considered something like an adaptive blade? Nothing particularly impressive. but something like it lengthens to give the fighter some distance when wounded, gets a couple of blood grooves after a couple of fights. It sharpens itself quietly while resting, it heats up on a cold night.
The blade is truly a companion, and wants to be helpful, loyally changing itself to help the fighter, no matter the odds.
>>44158836
Might be a bit abuse-prone if the sword literally appears anywhere. But I've always liked the idea of a special item that finds its way back to its owner, no matter what, possibly at the time of great danger.
Like, instead of just inexplicably being there in the darkest, grimiest, deepest prison hole, it will find its way into your hands when you stage a daring escape. Possibly carried by a guard who stumbles and falls, or just sitting on a table you run past, or otherwise within your grasp.
Maybe it'd be cool to have an item that's generally "lucky", in the sense that things always seem to go a bit more towards your way when you have it. Like, in game terms, the player can ask a number (whatever feels good) of scene-specific questions, like "Is one of the guards that attack me actually drunk off his ass" or somesuch opportunate, plausible things that could be true and could help the character.
In a campaign I played in, there was a blessed dagger that ensured that no wound caused on the character would fester or otherwise slay the person afterwards, only through direct, immediate damage. Like, no matter how badly you were bled and gutted, as long as you wouldn't outright perish from it, you would persist and get better. Bleeding and infection, mostly. I don't remember if diseases and the like were also included.
Of course, that's only useful if the game system actually has distinct wounds and complications thereof.
