You are Captain Kusajishi Riku, and it seems you've finally been dragged into the chaos that has rocked the Seireitei since Kuchiki Rukia's arrest in the living world.
Some distance to your right, your daughter Rangiku has engaged Captain Tōsen Kaname, one of Aizen's flunkies and the man responsible for betraying your predecessor Kensei. The blind man leaves you a bit wary: you know precious little about his actual abilities, although the fact that he's clearly underestimated Rangiku's skill and power leaves you hopeful that your daughter may...

Above Komamura's swirling reiatsu, you see the ghostly form of a massive sword appear seemingly from nowhere. It's aligned to match the position of his own sword, a confident sweep from which swings the building-sized blade towards you as well. It's slow however, and you manage to sidestep it. The building below you isn't so fortunate, and half of it begins to crumble away under the force of the blow.
As the dust clears you note that the sword is gone and Komamura has moved behind you....

Hear ye, hear ye, I call to order another meeting of the Mage Guild. All involved, please attend.
We are in the throes of an emergency, my friends. An emergency! As you know, it's currently winter. We have an agreement with the Guild of Actual Seamstresses not to use magic to make clothing unnecessary, and they're holding us to it. Unfortunately, if you'll turn the Guild Charter to chapter 82, sub-chapter 18, page 912, sub-page 6, paragraph 7, you'll find that "all Mages of Appropriate Standing in the Guild must at all times appropriate to Winter...

Why is this even coming to a vote, we're bloody Wizards. We just magic our outfits ourselves and if anyone has a problem with it we use our ability to ALTER THE VERY FABRIC OF REALITY! to fix it.
It's a non-issue, really.
>>44000476
Use magic to change the color of non-violet cloth? I don't quite see how the first part pertains to the second: how does not making clothing unnecessary affect our need for starry violet clothing?

Last Time, On Feral Necromancer Quest: You knew your path to immortality, and you knew how you would get there. All that was left was to see the birth of your child prior to the undertaking of one of the greatest tasks of your life. While an alchemical mishap left you in a somewhat altered state of mind on the actual night of the birth of your daughter, it did, in the end, go over without much of an issue. The next day you set out for the mountains, where you would hone your mind and become immortal. The path was hard and the dangers many, but you reached the top and you communed...

Korg: Your orcish blackguard, he is bound to your will. He wields a great hammer and cares for few things more than to use it in battle. A creature of simple pleasures and sins he is a destructive force on the battlefield and a cunning creature in planning.
Halivean: Known to you as Hal, he is your desert elf blackguard. Fanatically loyal to you and with some basic skill in necromancy and tactics he is a vital lieutenant to your forces. His agility is exceptional and his skill with a blade and bow is significant, but where he shines is leading undead into battle.

What's the best cursed item for trolling "that guy"?
>>44000387
Depends on the nature of the That Guyism.
>>44000387
An item that fuses to the hand that picked it up (so say a sword that permanently fuses to that arm, making it end in just a sword) that switches his highest stat with his lowest stat
>>44000387
If you have a That Guy, why do you want to troll him rather than kick him out?
This will be the last part of the introduction to this larger quest I am planning
Part 1:http://pastebin.com/hj1bjycj
Tl;dr: you're Johnathan (self-given name), an amnesiac guy who has been recently sent to Yamaku Academy, a school for disabled students. Not much has occurred so far but you did discover that the new student who arrived a week earlier died in unclear circumstances.
==========
You wake up in your new room. It is small, but it looks ten times more comfortable than the hospital room you spent your last week in.
This is going to be your first school day at Yamaku. You don't know anyone here, you haven't had time to meet dorm mates either. Looks like you will have to share your kitchen and the shower with up to 3 more students, but you have a smaller private bathroom for your personal use.
You're up way earlier than you should be, and you blame excitement for it.
You can't remember anything of your past school, and of your past classmates, except for that one girl who visited you while you were sick. What a strange thing she asked of you: to remember that she came to visit. And you find it hard not to oblige, given that the rest of your past is a mystery.
Laying in bed, thinking of the future, you're interrupted by heavy knocking on the door.
You were not expecting visits, and you're not (yet) ready to meet strangers. On the other hand it could be an inspection from the medical personnel, active 24/7. You have to make a decision.
>Open the door
>pretend to be asleep
>>44000059
>>Open the door
>>44000653
Reluctantly, you get up and open the door.
Standing next to you is a guy with brown ruffled air and glasses so thick his eyes almost disappear. He's wearing a strange yellow-and-red scarf.
"What are you doing here, huh? Who are you to begin with? Are you a spy?"
"I am not a spy, I am just the new student"
The guy comes uncomfortably close, so much that you can smell his garlic breath. Is he trying to suffocate people with that?
He smiles as he finally understood...

How would a modern world see necromancers, how would religion react to people who can bring stuff back from the dead? What jobs could open up to people like that?
God had zombies.

We already fear the Frankensteins and zombies of fiction. It only makes sense that if someone used reanimated corpses for labour, they would be shunned, if not legally prosecuted

Well you can argue that they're not technically human anymore so no human rights.
Boardgame is called diplomacy. 7 players duke it out on map for European dominance in a pre-WW1 setting, starting in 1901. No 1 player can achieve this dominance on his own however, at the start of the game nobody is powerful enough to take on the other 6 on his own, so alliances need to be made with the other players.
The military aspect of the game is relatively simple, the game revolves, as the name implies, around diplomacy, carefully making and breaking alliances and deals with your 6 opponents.
This is where I believe the aspect of the game a lot will be...

Depends, are you asking about setting up a group to play regular-ish-ly or are you asking about playing it with /tg/?
/tg/ have played before, though the nature of the thing means games can take a week or more.
As for setting up a group, pic related
>>43999930
Either would work for me personally.
A "one off" game planned in advance in a thread here, or setting up a group (via steam or so?) of people who can play regularly.
Since none of us know each other, there wouldn't really be an issue with telling someone to go shove their bounce request up their ass.
It would merely serve as a way of getting to play the game with somewhat dedicated players (I don't think you go onto /tg/ if you don't take these games at least somewhat...

Tends to be tricky, the game thread will often hover around 4 or 5 players asking if anyone else wants to play, but for what it's worth you've got one interested player
Grant me your wisdom, ancient neckbeards. What are your favorite boss designs in terms of gameplay functions? What do you use to challenge your players as the climax of the adventure or mission? Solo bosses, bosses with adds, weak bosses for a victory lap? Are there any particular mechanics you think make bosses more fun than just boring?
I'm a fan of when the boss is invulnerable, but some party member(s) can go and do a thing (within the boss room) to disable that power. So all the other party members have to be defending them against the invulnerable boss (or just distracting it) while they do so. Then, after being weakened by the completely unfair first half of the boss, the party can actually start hurting the thing. I think it is good when bosses are more than a powerful enemy, when there's some other mechanic required to defeat them beyond just attacking it a lot. Or at the very least, way to...

5e uses a system that enables a boss to take actions outside of its turn a few times, which really helps keep them dynamic and reduces the disadvantage they have in the economy of action.
It works pretty well.
The thing I've noticed is that a REAL boss battle is an enemy who, if he went all-out, would likely kill the party. But don't tell them that.
Instead, hit them hard. Not REALLY hard, but hard enough to make them squirm. And then, when they hit back, amp it up a bit. Intensify the fight.
Eventually you'll reach a point where the players are sweating bullets because one more good hit will take them down for the count, and they'll start pulling out all those once-a-year supermoves to kill your bad guy. This is usually when the boss is killed. High-fives...

In Warhammer Fantasy magic is inherently corruptive, if not in the same sense as in Warhammer 40k, provided you maintain proper focus and discipline.
And in the Empire, there are eight different lores, or Orders, of magic. These are:
Amber Order.
Amethyst Order.
Bright Order.
Celestial Order.
Gold Order.
Grey Order.
Jade Order.
Light Order.
Magic corrupts in such a way that the magic-user takes on aspects of the Wind of Magic (or Magic Lore) they are using.
This means that a Bright Wizard becomes increasingly erratic, their hair...

Could you list the descriptions of and powers associated with the other Orders? I'd love to throw some ideas in but what the hell am I supposed to do with ' describe Gold Order' when I've got nfi what Gold Order is about
And I say this as someone who used to own the damn Wind of Magic expansion book
>>43999254
Amber - animal part of druidic magic, very intuitive / informal, half-wild druid with beastform, summon animals to do bidding, the works
Amethyst - death magic, "good" necromancy as in using only pure death energy and not undead, actually consider undead anathema and work with priests of Morr
Bright - Fire fire fire, also fire
Celestial - Astrology (also the mathematical kind), precognition, visions
Gold - alchemy
Grey - mage looks like your typical Gandalf kind, but I actually forgot...

Alright /tg, any anon here would like to cooperate to create a tabletop RPG game inspired by that shining sexy masterpiece that is Diablo 2?
So here's what comes to mind in terms of fluff and crunch:
-Fluff:
>Gritty gothic dark world threatened by a rising dark power, against which common humans are helpless
>The playing characters bear incredible abilities that allow them to confront the legions of evil, but nonetheless their fight is desperate
-Crunch:
>Combat must be very quick-paced, expecially when it comes to dispatch hordes of minions.
>literally legions of enemies to fight everywhere
>d% for attack rolls, assorted dice for damage rolls
>Stats and classes much like Diablo 2's
>Boss fights involve lots of running away and avoiding attacks
>Certain inventory mechanics are crucial even in combat, like how many potions you can keep in your belt
>Healing potions, mana potions, antidotes, explosive/poisonous potions, gems, the Horadrim cube and all that sweet shit
Now about mechanics:
>Roll to hit is made with d%, roll under Attack rating - target Defense, 95+ is always a miss, 5- is always a hit
>Shields give a % chance to parry, but you can parry only a limited number of attacks per round (depending on shield) and you have to choose which ones.
>Attacks can stagger the target if you hit it hard enough
>Strenght, Dexterity, Vitality and Energy as primary stats, on which depend Attack rating, Defense, damage bonus and elemental/status resistances
...Anyone interested?
Here, done.
>>43999073
Yeah except that it sucks.
>>43999024
>Combat must be very quick-paced, expecially when it comes to dispatch hordes of minions.
>literally legions of enemies to fight everywhere
You don't have much in the way of singular regular enemies, but instead each enemy counts as "hitpoint" of the horde. If they fall under certain amounts, they become less dangerous in combat.
Kill 25 of 100 skeletons --> skeleton horde has less attacks/hitchance/damage/whatever
the amount of butthurt generated by the mere existence of pic related is glorious
but when looking at the ''criticism'' in greater detail rather than just laughing it off, i can't help but ask myself: How did we get here?

Futuristic dystopias live and die by their ability to shock the reader/viewer/(in this case) players by presenting a society which, a small difference having been made, sounds like it should be perfect on paper, but turns out to be terrible in actuality.
What elements of society could be changed, introduced to or removed from it in order to create an original, scary dystopia? What aspect of human nature could be made illegal? What unthinkable behavior made mandatory?The characters are traveling between alternate universes, many of which have the capability...

The country the PCs arrive in is a happy prosperous place. People seem genuinely normal, everything's fine. There's no catch.
But to uphold their high standard of living, their industry is exploiting the poor countries on a neighbouring continent. This continent is plagued by diseases, food and water shortages, poor living standards, war. You name it.
So what happens is there's this network of people, we'll call em the rebels, they go and fight a fight against a faceless enemy. They come to the rich country and just go full Jihad on it, trying to make...
