You've always been more interested in the mortal realm and whenever you gazed into it and saw someone do a good deed, it filled you with warmth. It was a feeling you couldn't have no matter how many you killed, tortured or brought to ruin. Eventually you stopped feeling that warmth whenever you gazed into the mortal world. So you decided that if you were ever going to feel that same feeling once more, you'd have to leave the Demonic Plane you were bound to and venture into the Mortal Realm. You are a Hellspawn of Anger; a low-ranking servant to a powerful Demon...

"M-meth fo eno uoy era?" She carefully whispers to you. The wind almost swallows her words from you, but your ears catch them. You're about to answer her, when you're reminded that you do not yet speak their tongue. For all your centuries of watching them, you've never heard them speak nor read their words written in ink. This curious little child who's freezing and has been crying for a long time is now staring up at you, her gaze meeting that of your one functioning eye that serves...

Can we change shape? Assume human form?
Do we have any mind-rape powers that will let us learn the language quickly, or will we have to do it the slow way?
Ay /tg/, got session in about an hour and me and a mate have been talking about what we reckon makes for a good roleplayer.
What do you guys reckon makes for a good roleplayer?
Pic unrelated
in general, I find someone who's willing to consciously make a mistake in the name of their character's knowledge or personality
>>44019996
Someone who prioritizes making a positive contribution to the immersion of the other players.
Nobody needs another sperglord who thinks he's a great role-player because he knows the sickest build in D&D, focus on making the fiction feel alive for the rest of the group.
Someone willing to buy into the story the GM is telling, and help tell it.
Using the old picture as I haven't found a more fitting one yet.

The story so far(tl;dr):You are Johnathan, a boy who suffers from amnesia.You can't remember what happened in your past. You're currently in Yamaku, a school for students who have special needs. After a disastrous first day, following around a friend of yours you get caught by a group of girls performing a magic rite, and you're now unwillingly part of it. (read the bin for more info).

A defiant look in your face, you say "I accept your Oath, Saber. Rise as my Servant".
The other girls look at your general direction with hostility, and for the first time you feel like you have a bargaining chip in this complicated matter.
"I think I deserve an explanation now. What is this and what are you doing?"
"Right now", says the blind girl, "we're trying to settle the rules. As usual me and the deaf girl you see over there disagree."

We need to go get a chocolate bar and calm down op.
Each province (colored area) on this island needs 1 city, but I'm not sure where to place them.
I would appreciate if /tg/ could help me choose where each city should go.
Maybe consider what resources are available in each location and where theyd be. A city would probably be around that
>>44019889
Hmmmm. I guess so. Since I'm not that great at resource allocation, I'm not sure how to distribute them.
>>44019843
You should have placed cities at points where cities should logically be before drawing up provinces.

As a small baby, your found yourself sleeping for the most part of the journey to the looping worm. The child carried you with care making sure he won't wake you up.
Alas, the road has ended. The looping worm stood before you. It looked strange, you saw no mouth or anything of a similar ilk, just one whole Bizarre loop. The gigantic Mons eyed you both with his hollowed eye. It didn't seem to care much about your presence, some of its pore opened up in the lower portion of its lower body. It would fit you just right.

Hello, gentleman. I'm faced with a problem.
One of the groups i participate as a player is mad at me.
For power playing? No.
For being unreasonable? Maybe
For roleplaying my own character loyal to his creation? Yes
I created a VERY fanatic cleric, and they want my help to raise an undead. Of course i was against it.
Now the group(off-game) is VERY mad at me because i'm "fucking the party" and is telling me that i should betray my roleplay and basically npc it.
Am i right here or am i being unreasonable?
Should i be forbidden...

Bonus info:
Instead of giving plot and in-game reasons for a change of heart, the DM preferred to just prohibit me from doing it.
He didn't move a finger to change his story or anything at all. He just threw it at me.
>>44018961
Raise an undead what?
Also: which god are you fanatical to? Does your god have a specific standing on undead? Many neutral and lawful gods have no stance on undead.
Has the party offered you the "paladin's distraction" route, where you turn your head while they do the awful thing? Or is your magic specifically required for this abomination?
>>44019047
Yes, specially my char.
It was created to be a first front one-man army against undead and heretics.
Pretty much space marine.
AND NO. Not even a distraction or something. They just want me to stop or kick me out.
Wanting to run a game with low fantasy, dangerous magic, sword-and-sorcery feel. Ran the campaign in Iron Heroes years ago, but wondering if better options now.
I know there were some popular Dungeon Crawl focused games a few years back. Don't remember any of them, though.
Thanks

Bonus points if it's free/ogl
Savage Worlds if done right.
Magic has a one in (however good you are, it's a dice size-based game) chance of backfiring catastrophically, each blow you take could be the lucky one that puts you down, and it's really fucking cheap. Like, ten bucks for the core rules cheap.
>>44018879
Thanks. Will eyeball wikipedia on it. I've heard of a few low-fantasy games in the past but just have been out of gaming too long and my Google-Fu was leading me to strange places.
Hey guys, I'm back. And like the title possibly implies, I might be a bit slow today. Still, I gave you my word for a thread today and I'm going to keep it.

Things are not going to plan.
That's the first thought that crosses your mind as you regain consciousness. Things weren't supposed to end this way, with the human world – the world you grew up and spent your whole life within – violently merged with the demon world. A disastrous interaction, and one that lead to the traumatic birth of this new world –...

You expected horrors, perhaps, or some other terrible surprise. What you got, on the other hand, was almost pleasant. Warm sunshine, the sound of distant birds, and the sensation of grass tickling the back of your head. This is... the fairy kingdom, you realise as you look about at the wild, overgrown trees. You've been here many times before, and you know it to be a place of relative safety. As much as anywhere within the demon world... no, the world of transition, can be considered safe.
Groaning softly, you heave your aching body up and give yourself a quick check....

New OP image huh?
What's the original source for tolkien-esque lore. Is it Tolkien or did he draw from something else?
Specifically I was wondering if elves and dwarves have genders and sexual dimorphism.

Seeing that the tale of a war for a magical ring which gives power to control a world filled with magic was a favourite of the Nazis, and The Lord of the Rings was published in the 50s, yes, I would say it has some influences.
And that same story has it's roots on another tale about a cursed ring, a broken sword which has to be rebuilt to recover a lineage and...

Now with a wikipage: https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Talons_of_Corvus
Quick summary: Raven Guard successors that stem from the Raptors Chapter and who are a more heroic Brotherhood of Nod.
Last time there was more fleshing out and there was also a nice story being done (hoping it will be finished).
Also Drawfags/Drawanons, writers and many more welcomed so very much.
Eh, not feeling it.
Nod would fit better with traitor guardsmen or xeno cultists.
>>44018132
Nah. Depends how you could play them.
Here we're doing a more heroic take. As in:
- No mutations
- Causing uprisings on planets that were conquered/annexed by heretics/xenos or seceded from the Imperium
- Being the natural enemies of Tau when it comes to stealth and counter propaganda
They also have cyborgs, stealth tanks, and a giant murder scorpion that dwarfs over The Brass Scorpion of Khorne.
The Inquisition is kinda mixed about them due to their affinity with cyber warfare.
>>44018176
So what you're saying here is the only thing resembling Nod about them is the colorscheme.
Why bother, then?
Greetings /tg,
I was too tired to focus and too busy to draw at work last night.
So I played around with my new method of randomly generating scenarios.
The following scenario took me twenty minutes to come up with.
And a bit longer to type up.
Let me know what you think:
Six gods have long stood in an uneasy alliance, three against three.
The alliance is now threatened with the recent discovery of an ancient artifact long thought lost forever: The Solemn Crown.
If one of the gods were to seize the crown, their personal power would grow exponentially,...

While in the city, the party will encounter all manner and strange forms of the undead.
The King himself has become a massive, hulking behemoth of an undead capable of summoning new undead each round as well as changing one element of his surrounding reality a turn.
He is very resistant to damage and the crown itself has embedded itself into his swollen skull.
As they party search the city for the crown, they have a chance to encounter one of the gods.
Each of whom might attempt to convert members...

Light Alliance:
Icarus Strobe:
The fiery winged embodiment of anarchy, he can generate whipping tendrils of shadow and light energy attacks while also imbuing a mortal with their peak level of power.
Zealous Trunk:
A oddly shaped god that resembles a massive, bipedal walrus, he is the embodiment of strength and is a master of combat, able to focus on all aspects of a battle simultaneously, despite having flippers for hands projecting powerful balls of lightning on command.

That's as fleshed out as I got it.
Generating three characters on each faction, a mcguffin, and three plot tropes to tie them together worked nicely I think.
Did Tolkien's work age well?
>>44017920
Well, it's not as if it references obvious pop culture of the time.
It might have made slightly more sense to veterans of the First World War, maybe
>Has Tolkien's work aged well?
>>44017920
People are still half assingly copying it so i'd say yes.
