whats the best way get players in the mind set for eclipse phase. some are apprehensive of save points and are kinda married to the idea of having a "true" body. I don't know much about the game but I described the idea of an ego as you are a computer program that was born into a meat body

>We must maintain the Balance Between Good And Evil, and there's currently too much Good, so we must do Evil!
Has this ever been done well, outside of a Wreck-it Ralph scenario where people are aware that their world is fictional and can't exist without someone predestined to be the villain but hate him anyway?
Keep in mind I am specifically referring to Good and Evil in a setting where such things can be measured objectively, not positive and negative energy, not a figurative "too much of a good thing" which becomes evil,...

No.
>>44010659
No, because the idea of "I'm siding with the elves until the elves start winning then I'm siding with the orcs" is stupid.
>>44010659
It works best with powerful shadowy figures manipulating things behind the scenes, lending aid to one side only for as long as it takes to restore a balance. They may work as coordinators to help unite disparate groups on one side, while sowing division and discord on the other side. Much of their work will be done through assassinations and espionage, with lots of secret agents and double agents. A motivation based on religion or mysticism works best, but you could also do it with calculating self-interested...

>>44010076
I've got a GM that tries to make every villain ever some variation of "tragic misunderstood anti-hero", even when they're guilty of terrible unforgivable crimes like rape, murder, human experimentation, selling people to slavers, ect.
Yeah... then he gets buttmad when we consider those villains to be actual monsters and kill them without listening to their sob stories or trying to "redeem" them somehow.Fuck I need to find a better GM.
I'll tell you one of mine. I tend to take perception too seriously and I end up hiding shit that shouldn't need a perception check.

>WARHAMMMER forty kay
>Almost no warhammers
Justify this.
>>44009904
The same reason there's almost no actual warhammers in Warhammer Fantasy, just big mallets that the uneducated THINK look like warhammers; artistic license.
It's not like either setting has really been anything but upfront about being incredibly unrealistic anyway.

>all soldiers of all armies of all species have no weapons but warhammers
Man, just imagine how much gory melee there would be...I would like to see more actual warhammers in Warhammer
What about katanas?
Rolled 18, 43, 77 = 138 (3d100)
It's been fourteen years since the downfall of society as we knew it. Poor allocation of resources, namely fuel, reduced us all into anarchy. Those that could fight did, and many died. The first few days were filled with rioting, pillaging, raping, and bloody well any crime you could imagine, soon some of the fires started going out. That's when the shelling started, and with it the Petroleum Wars. May call these Wars World War III, but not the whole world was involved, only the parts that could be, nothing has been heard...

You sit around at the bus stop trying to piece together a rough plan for the afternoon and evening. A quick trip into town to go shopping with Sammy is on the agenda, followed by a quick break to get changed, though more likely by being picked up by Blake and taken to the party. It'll be wild and crazy, but when the full moon is at its highest you'll need to find a safe place to light your black candle, spill your blood into a cup and chant from your spell book so that you can summon the demon that will give you your first taste of...

You rise to your feet and adjust your bag.
“You're always making me look under dressed though. When we met up yesterday you were all decked out for it, and today you got dressed up for me while I'm still in my uniform.”
Sammy nods and shrugs.
“I felt like it. And we're getting you some new clothes in town anyway, so it's not like you'll be wearing that for long. We'll get you equally fancy.”
You reach into your pocket and toy with the two golden coins, debating whether or not to hit up the Bizarre again or just...

Also I think the reason BTDQ is lagging is time slot, lot more anons can play on the weekends than weekdays.

But what *kind* of Cleric?
Shelyn? Iomedae? Erastil? Calistrian?
>>44009354
Erastil, obviously.
Considering only somewhat realistic options (No greatsword in each hand, magic, extra-high jumps etc), what would be the most showoff/flashy fighting style or weapon? (A combination of weapons works too)
>>44009149
I'd say nun-chucks, hook swords, or other Eastern styles focused on flowing movements
>>44009149
Bard/Monk hybrid with a meteor hammer.
>>44009149
Any kind of quarterstaff with glowing parts on it.

GARDEN CHRONICLE PROGRAM ACTIVATED
RESUMING PROGRESS
The incoming fire grows louder as you check the rooms. You turn the entire upper level over, but the rooms are just as barren as they were when you and Sebastian first came up. No hidden panels, no secret doors, no panic rooms.
You decide not to waste too much time up here and descend the steps carefully. Down here the sounds of battle are much louder. Outside another explosion rings out. You see someone move past the stairway and pause when they see you.
It's the large man from before.

You have to create a new character.
To do this, you must pick a character class or archetype, and define their motivation in the form of one primary character trait, limited entirely to the 7 cardinal sins.
Can you create something interesting?
No, because you've defined them as purely one-dimensional in motivation and belief.

Overdone as fuck but interesting if the edge is contained.
What is your reason for not including recreational use of magic in your settings and games, if only in the background? If people could pay for a polymorph, a charisma boost, flight or invisibility, what's stopping them? Why do magic users not learn magic specifically for recreation? Why is there no "adult" magic industry?I'm going to bed now, /tg/. This is a litmus test. Show me how it looks in the morning,
Because you are not playing FATAL at the moment.
In a more serious note, wizards make items for that, and those who buy them keep them so very well hidden that your average adventurers never find them.Or they do, and agree to forget they ever did.
>>44008497
Because just learning to use magic takes like 6-20 years and any shit you can do thereafter yer liable to charge through the fucking nose for.
Nobility can afford magic entertainment like but they can also afford to have actual people do shit instead and only one of those is a status symbol
>>44008497
It happens, probably, but not as much as you might expect since magic is kinda dangerous. If you rile up the spirits to get some magic done, and then lose control of them, they tend to get a little... well, mischievous at best, maliciously destructive at worst.

You wake up feeling sore. You were up late last night getting important synergy training done with Oberon. You feel like you’ve both gotten to know each other better. He’s not aggressive like Levi, but assertive. He believes in a strong chain of command. He gets thrown off by levity and games and takes his training and commands seriously. By the time you were done, you and he could anticipate each other very well. You feel this could really make a difference in a match.
You and your two girls get dressed, walk into the common area of your luxurious suite, and see...

So there is this guy who whenever he sees me out he likes to make fun of me because I play tabletop RPGs. He is the typical jock dude who clearly likes to pick on the nerdy types.
Don't get me wrong I like sports too but I need some clever counter points or insults about his love of hockey and football to attempt to make him look foolish.
Thanks /tg/
Fuck off nerd. Go roll some dice and play with your tiny japanese statues.

I need a crash course on the setting from it's start to about 500 years after the Great Contagion.
