Requesting art of medieval-ish looking crossbowmen!
Preferably without metal armor, more skirmisher looking troops
Though, Genoese are never not welcome.
Also general Character Art thread
Hello all. So I'm working on my homebrew RPG. For power sources (class analogs mainly though more broad), I've been contemplating what an RPG might be like if you flipped the role of arcane and martial characters.
That is, typically in D&D, martial types are thought to do things everyone else can do, but do it better, while arcane types do things noone else can do, as well as enhancing themselves with things everyone can do.
Here, I'm thinking of having it so that anyone can use magic if they learn/find it -- as in, rituals, magic devices, scrolls, etcetera -- via skills/mind tests, arcane characters can do it better and get more bang for their buck. In contrast, martial characters would have a variety of special abilities, similar to spells in other RPGs, but typically conveyed through weapon range.
Thoughts?
Note also that arcane types could be warriors of a sort (specializing in bringing out the properties of magical weapons and armor would be suitable for an arcane character), and not all chars fall into either category. There wouldn't be cross pollination between the two power sources, however, as martial powers would be mainly as a way to make a non-magic oriented character dynamic to play.
wait, the one on the right is a "him"?

I sort of ran a 3.5 D&D campaign like that, where the only books allowed were Expanded Psionics Handbook, Magic of Incarnum, and Tome of Battle.
Just about everybody had at least one psionic power through the Hidden Talent feat, but only a rare, elite few had access to maneuvers.
It was pretty fun. The players ended up using an audience of drugged slaves as bait to draw out an insane opera singer so they could kick her shit in.
>>43750233
I think so. Not sure. Does it say?
>>43750305
Its not so much that I want to emulate 3.x or whatever, but it does give one ideas how different things would be if arcane and martial used the opposite design concepts.
I was also thinking resurrection and teleportation rituals would be researched per target.

1st for Xenagod best god. Seriously though, easily one of the best if not best general to come out of Theros block and possibly best RG general.
for someone interested in casual EDH fun who's new to the format, what non-expensive cards would be cool to add to the mizzix deck?
>>43750039
Depends on which general you want to use. Mizzix just look at some of the cheaper Melek lists and for Arjun I make more suggestions.
It is the year 1757 since the founding of the True City.
The Great Plague came upon us in a storm we could never have anticipated. Ever since we discovered the Elements of Heaven we have brought the only true civilisation that this world has ever known to greater and greater heights. Roma Victrix, now and in eternity. But the Plague... it stormed from our Eastern allies and tore through the Eastern Empire like the wrath of the heathen God of Israel. The ancient city of Byzantium, second only to our glorious Roma Aeterna, is now an empty shell, filled only with ghosts...

Here's the starting race screen. Points to note: I scavenged that flag from GIS and that is the standard human image.
Current rates are not terrible for everything except terraforming. There's obviously a long way to go.
The game automatically picked purple as the colour. Clearly this is Meant To Be.
Finally, if anyone wants a secondary naming scheme added in for commanders (like for example adding Britfag or Amerifats names) that's something we can do, as you can see at the...

That's a very fascist fucking flag, friendo. I LIKE IT. I see we're clearly setting the stage for what we want out of our regime.

OP is running a game that is basically Dwarf fortress in space for mechanics. We play random people of the empire that get shit done, or die horribly because the engineers forgot to add life support systems to your ship.
Other than 40k's War in Heaven, are there any other fantasy settings which involve such a scenario?
>>43749169
>Is there a fantasy setting where two super-powerful races fought a big war a really long time ago?
It would almost be easier to name the ones that don't.
>>43749235
Ones that aren't terrible or uninteresting then. Glorantha seems to be interesting but I don't know any source that has it in a codified way, rather than fragments from all over the place.

Welcome to Cooler Quest. In this quest we play as Cooler as he deals with the bullshit his little brother keeps getting into.
You're sitting in the command room of your spaceship when Salza comes up to you with an urgent report.
"HOH HOH! Un report has come in for you, Monsieur Cooler. It seems to be some sort of message from one Saiyan by the name of Daikon. He says that King Vegeta is planning something treasonous against your brother. Hoh Hoh Hoh!"
A. Alright, let's hear it.
B. Forget it, I'm busy.
C. Investigate...

Fucking little brother always screwing things up.
Water, Earth, Fire, and Air. Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony, but everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked. Only the Avatar, master of all four elements, could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he vanished. The world slowly smoldered as the Air Nomads were eradicated by the Fire Nation, leaving nothing but empty homes in their wake. The Fire Nation has already started a full-scale campaign on the Southern Water Tribe, beginning the cycle of death anew.
Fifty years this war has raged, scorching the forests and destroying lives....

You begin walking out of your room, clad in your new robes, their dull coloration accentuating the small triangular pin on your chest. The same unassuming man who brought you breakfast greets you with an almost sickeningly cordial smile, then begins walking while motioning for you to follow. He leads you through the hallways, framed by an azure glow, to a familiar door. He knocks four times on the door and opens it, revealing the same chamber you awoke in, albeit furnished as a small reading room. The man you assume is Dr. Di sits at a table, grinning in a way that makes you feel as if he can see through you like glass. You wish you were faking the nervous feeling gripping you.
"Please, take a seat Dr. Rock. Don't worry, I'm not going to question you. At least, not this time." He looks at you with an evaluating stare as you pull out a chair opposite him and sit. You can't help but notice two other chairs on either side of you.
"I am sorry for the... harsh treatment you were given by my compatriots. They were not made aware of certain... impressions, you made within only two days of employment at the Palace. Here's a little secret, you are the first person without military experience to be brought in to sit with the War Council. You are the only man to sit at that table, who isn't drilled into obedience of the King." You don't need to be a genius to see what he is getting at. Another door hidden in a dark corner of the room opens, and a man in a reflective mask walks in, carrying a short man who is bound and bloodied. He sets the man, the same one who knocked you out, in the chair to your right and sits at your left. You feel his gaze on you, but when you look at him, the only person staring back is Dr. Rock.
