Making a location is really easy. The trick is to make it vivid and focus on what matters to the game. By keeping the details vague and writing down only what the players can discover everything comes together really fast. Nondescript goon stats can plug into any NPC should combat become necessary, no need to worry about it just yet.

Populate this small town with NPCs. Cover the 6 categories and try to reference other NPCs. Add a pic, and we're ready to play.
It's been nearly a generation sense the fall of the USSR. And in it's wake formed countless dictators and warlord states. That is were you live, in the ancient hamlet of Severoyev that's been forgotten by all but the tax collectors.
>Name
Ivankov Nikodim Nikolayevich
>Occupation
Severoyev's Mayor
>Power base
The rich(er) locals
>Allies
The local Presbyter, the mercs he has hired to keep the rabble in check, the other head town officials in nearby villages who he's in a alliance of necessity with
>Enemies
The local business holders who're being taxed dry, the representatives of the regional warlord
>Conflict
If he can't pay the next tribute he'll be "replaced" and who will be there to live in his lavish house then? "Guess I'll just have to raise the taxes." The pesantr- I mean the citizenry are getting ever more fed up lately.
>Secret
The town used to be a hideaway the nobles of Old Russia used after the fall of the Tzar. There's many escape tunnels and even a massive storage of black powder to be blown as a last defence.

Are we archiving these somewhere? I'd hope we'd put them on 1d4chan or someplace.
You are Takashi Wakui, a sixteen year old Japanese high school student. In your world, half of humanity possesses a Persona—the corporeal manifestation of one’s personality as a supernatural entity. You had been an unlucky ordinary at first, lacking the potential to summon your Persona. Then the application AETHER was forcibly installed on your smartphone. It sucked you into the nightmarish realm of the Blackened Void, where you fought monsters and awakened your Persona in the process.
You are now the Wild Card of the 22nd Century. You possess the Fool Arcana, giving you the power to draw strength from bonds and wield multiple Personas at once. Already this places you in great danger, as the Fool Arcana is seen as an impossibility by the common masses. Revealing your newfound power to the common world would immediately land your head on a dissection table. To make matters worse, you and several others have been cursed as the Void’s Chosen, fated to traverse the wastelands of the Blackened Void until the end of the game. For what purpose does AETHER exist, what mysteries lie within and how is victory achieved?

“Oh my, oh my. You seem rather shocked at this turn of events, guest. Are the consequences of your actions not obvious? Neglect a bond and it shall be strained. That is why cracks on the edges of the card represent. See how the image within has begun to fade into void? In the opening stages, the destruction is faint, but grant it time and the bond shall wither, shrivel up and ultimately perish.
“See the way you pick up the card, inspect it with the terror in your eyes and whisper the name of the girl under your breath. It is really quite picturesque. Alas, a capturing device is not present. Nii-san, the next time we travel to the human world, shall we acquire one? I believe it is a task we could accomplish without much difficulty, given the level of technology that exists in this guest’s home world.
“Ah, you seem rather perturbed. Furious, even. That glare of yours is terrifying. Please stop, guest! If you carry on, I won’t be able to contain my amusement!
“Who is to blame for the fracturing of your bond with the child of Death, Kozue Yusa? Have you put your intelligence to this rationally? Is it nii-san and I, for not warning you sooner? The girl, if one were to be inclined, for the difficulty that occurs when you attempt to search for her? Or is it you, for neglecting her in favour of your other commitments?
“In the end, I do not believe it matters at all. There is nothing you can do to change the past. Why not consider seeking the future?
“…you refuse to cease that black look of yours. Were the consequences not apparent from the beginning? Could you not sense the distance between the two of you devouring the bond, bit by bit? Well, in all honesty, I believe you deserve something of a reprieve this time. Little children are fickle creatures. They form attachments as quickly as they cast them aside. You may not have been aware of the dependency she placed on you. That should be something to be speedily rectified, is it not?
“Though their grudges are evidently childish, do not underestimate the impact they possess. Hee hee, another concept that you already understand, correct? All you have to do is ask your dear older sister.
“Aah…is that animosity I detect? It almost borders on the intent to kill. Oh dear me, I believe I am about to faint. Your older sister is a sore spot of yours? Duly noted, guest.
“Now for some good news, guest. The bond of Death has yet to reverse or break. There is still time for you to repair it with the girl. You had best hurry. What is the time in your world? Allow me to check…
“‘Thursday’, as you humans would call it. Well then, I predict before you have until ‘next Wednesday’. Further than that, and it is highly likely the bond shall reverse. When that occurs, all Personas of the corresponding Arcana shall lose their strength.
“Yes, you could reconcile with the girl after the bond reverses. The question that shall be asked is whether or not you have the capabilities to do so. Will you try your hand at fate? That would be a spectacle to watch, wouldn’t it nii-san?”
“Indeed, my dear little sister. But let us turn to a different matter altogether. Guest, I see you are about to guide your fellow Void’s Chosen into the Forlorn Abyss. A fascinating place, wouldn’t you agree? Instead of Shadows or Denizens, the dungeon is inhabited exclusively by demons.
“Curious as to the relation between demons and Personas? In the depths of humanity’s hearts, there is a domain where mythological archetypes dwell. It is created from the myths and legends formed by humans, yet simultaneously is their source. One could say that demons and gods live in neither Hell nor Heaven, but rather the hearts of man.
“So in that regard, demons and Personas are products of humanity itself. As long as man continues to thrive, so will they.
“Where do the demons in the Forlorn Abyss originate? From the Collective Unconsciousness, of course. Were you not listening, guest? Demons have their own wills and purposes. It may be in your best interest to understand them, if only because it shall make it easier to slay them.
“Some aspects of the Collective Unconsciousness desire to influence the personalities of humanity. But the chosen individuals must strong in the body, the mind and the soul. Otherwise, control will be lost over the Persona. When that occurs to a great extent…well, I would not want to spoil it for you. This is one surprise that should not be ruined.
“Is all well over in your side? Your bonds other than Death are of adequate progress. How is your exploration of the Blackened Void? Are your fellow Void’s Chosen performing their assigned duties? Are you gaining sufficient strength? Do you believe that you have every facet of your trial beneath your control?
“That is enough chitchat for now. I think you would not want to keep your allies waiting, guest. Until next time, then…”

If you want ANYTHING to go in the repo, just summon me. Otherwise I will only put writefagging and sheets in the repo.
Also, I added the blank template to the ALL FLAKESHEETS folder.

My beef here is everything they're saying is something the reader can infer themselves.
It just doesn't sound like a natural conversation. They're either justifying things to each other for no real reason or just providing rote summaries of what's going on around them.
I like both of these characters but Rich isn't really using their personalities here.
I've defended a lot of Rich's wordiness, but this one has me on the meme train. There is nothing of substance here.
Alright /tg/, you've just been retconned out of this life and forceably crammed into the Star Wars universe.
Now a few things are certainly about to happen to you. You are going to be born/hatched/spawned with a reasonably high force sensitivity. Not Anakin or Yoda high, but lets assume you''re pretty naturally in tune with that old mystical energy force.
The second and third thing that will happen is that the Jedi will find you, and that your deadbeat parents will give you up. You are now a member of the Jedi Order. Your dressing gown, spaceship and membership card are in the mail.
My question is this: Do you make a good Jedi, you personally, you don't have your memories but you have your exact personality, your exact character. You are still you. So how do you do?
Fall to the Darkside? Drop out? Be a hero? Keep your head down? Work in the library? Whatever. Just be honest.
Feel free to select whatever time period you want to, Old Republic, Clone Wars, New Rebublic, New EU, Old EU, whatever. Any time we've heard about.
Tell me your stories, /tg/.
>>48013256
I think I'd do pretty okay, unless I found myself in one of the "no fun allowed" eras (so as long as its not the prequels or bioware bullshit), and even in those I can just run off to Corellia, trade my brown robes for green, and be chill.
Either way, I figure I'd do a lot of wandering.
NJO era, I'd go looking for caches of lost knowledge, and finding those with potential and directing them towards the Praxeum.
TotJ, do what all the Jedi did back then, be basically a knight errant, traveling the galaxy and righting wrongs.
Personally I think I'd do alright, not great, but alright.
I'll get dumped in the Clone Wars era, just because I don't want to get accidentally eaten by Nihilus in the Old Republic Era.
Have a personal history with martial arts so I know how I handle that kind of discipline. Knowing how I handled Tae Kwon Do and Judo, I'd probably get a bit sick of running drills and patterns and forms when I had to do them too long and be far more eager to get down to sparring. Probably end up being better at saber to saber combat than not as a result, that and good old hand to hand. Style would be less routine as a result, less polished but harder to predict.
On the force side of things I'd love it, who wouldn't love magical powers? That said I'm a pretty practical guy so I'd probably focus on skills that I could use practically. Telekinesis, physical enchancements, sneaky sneaky, animal empathy, and basic mind-tricks. Probably wouldn't practice much else. Not out of disinterest but just because Telekinesis is cool as fuck.
Personality wise I'd butt heads with the council, I've never been that good at following orders and they, barring Yoda and Obi Wan, seem kind of out of touch. Probably be a lot like Qui Gon, flying off to see and do cool shit (got the wander lust in me, hate sitting still, if I had a space ship I'd never stop) and getting told off for it later.
Honestly think I'd resign during the Clone Wars, probably late in the game, but wars over nothing don't sit well with me. I'd probably doddle off to go try a way to cut off the head of the snake all underground like, so either I find Sidious and get killed before Order 66, or I don't and Order 66 happens, all of my buddies die and I have to go into hiding.
Assuming the later I'd like to think I'd have made a lot of friends and contacts over my adventures and would lay low with them until the heat's off, maybe in Kashyyyk's darklands. Put those "make friends with animals" powers to good use.
>>48013398
After that probably go back to wandering, maybe bounty hunt on the side. Keep my saber hidden except for emergencies and switch to a staff and some blasters of something. Help the Rebellion on the DL without putting myself into the limelight.
Maybe settle down, have some kids, just chill out when the wander lust fades. Somewhere chill and out of the way, maybe I could get a pipe.
Grey Jedi/10
I'd do alright, I wouldn't change the galaxy or anything, but I'd like to think I'd look out for the little guy and make it a better place in some way.
Has gender change ever been used not awfully in a roleplaying game? Is there any justification for it to exist other than magical realming shit?
>>47991753
It makes for a good 'baby's first cursed item' for new-ish players. No actual mechanical impact that puts them at a disadvantage, and forces them out of their comfort zone for a while because it demands recognition and response from an RP perspective.
It also teaches a valuable lesson to new players that sometimes things will happen to your character that they won't be happy with, but they have to deal with it anyway. If your group can't handle that, then you basically can't use even temporary mind control or all sorts of other effects or abilities or situations that without triggering the 'muh character' response.
People can and do use gender change for magical realm reasons, but that's not my problem.
>>47991753
>Has gender change ever been used [...] in a roleplaying game?
To a first approximation, no. Statistically speaking, gender change approximately never comes up in an actual role-playing session, and when it does it's for a joke. Actual serious plot use or magical realming occurs so rarely it's not worth having general opinions or emotions about; it's like getting opinionated about the national epidemic of being struck by lightning.
Also, it's a good "harmless" curse. Inconvenient, less silly and more impactful than getting purple skin or whatever, but not crippling or painful. If you don't have a TG fetish, it's basically effortless to make it not fetishy.

Welcome everyone, new and old players alike! This is Tundra civ, a civ thread series in a fictional, non-fantasy setting where you play as the rulers of the White Republic, a nation in a world similar to our own.
Previously on Tundra civ:

It is the year 1235 After the Exile.
Technology on Terra Nova has now reached the approximate level of 2000 AD Earth.
The past two decades have seen great growth in living standarts for our people and the national economy keeps on growing.
Recently, a war was fought in the hibibi desert in Aymsland, the result of which was the establishment of a new client republic in the place of the former Emirate. We also negotiated a population transfer agreement with the NPU, according to which we would gradually move a sizable chunk of our darkskin population to the NPU, where they can enjoy the political freedoms they've been causing troubles for.
Now, satellites and spacecraft within our system have picked up distant radio frequencies of some sort, at a distance of around 2 lightyears from our solar system, Argosa.
>Population:217 000 000 (82% white, 12 % chink,1%hibibi, 4%darkskin,1% pacharnati)

H.
Let's hold a axis meeting to talk about what we should do if the frequencies are from aliens.
>>48043804
This is a grave matter, it must be discussed with our allies.
Pick as many as you want
A.Invite the Kaichou
B.Invite the Sunset Alliance
C.Invite our client states(Sigbru, Prizzid, Hibibi)
D.Invite the NPU
E.Make this knowledge public
>>48044038
A, B, and C
We can invite the NPU later if the situation gets dire.

Which class/path is best for a pet class?
>>48033967
There really isn't one...having a pet doesn't really work. The closest you're going to get is probably a conjuration wizard, maybe a druid that specializes in all the summoning spells.
>>48034026
This. Summoning is the best way to have a pet mechanically. I like lore bard just to steal the best conjure spells from each list.
>>48034255
Yeah, that can work.
For me, though, there's nothing more fun than a wizard conjuration demonologist...I just love it.

Sorin and co. mobilized their knight army in this week's UR. Is Liliana safe once he's done with Nahiri? Does he have any fucks left to give towards Innistrad?
Sorin is getting BTFO, basically confirmed.
>>48030803
>Sorin giving the fuck up on the home he swore to protect, all he cares about now is choking a bitch for ruining his magnum opus
>Liliana mobilizing an army to defend a land she has no obligation to defend because the man she cares about is about to get himself killed trying to play hero, and she needs him to need her because twisted self-centered Black worldview can be kinda cheesy and romantic in its own way
Literally "Sorin gets BTFO: the block."
Also it's really funny watching Liliana do the Black-aligned tsundere mental gymnastics routine. I can already see her saying "it's not like I came here to save you or anything, Cloak Boy!"
>>48030803
>>48031038
Wizards made Sorin a designated villain so they wouldn't feel bad about killing him off at the end of the block. Sure, they had to contradict the fuck out of his established character, and pull some seriously convoluted bullshit out of their asses, but who cares? They get to kill off a character they arbitrarily don't like, and the fangirls won't care at all!
