Would it not be better to merge the Exalted thread with scion? Are very similar.

I don't have time to tell more specific stories now, but our best game started with this pitch:
Players would develop characters from the Hero level to the Demigod level in Chicago during the time period between WWI and WWII. This period would be split into five different stories, each about five sessions, and each separated by a 4-5 year time-jump. During each time-jump, the characters would automatically increase by one Legend rating and their player could describe at least one major event that occured...

The rough-draft timeline for inspiration looked something like this:
1918 - WWI ends
1920 - Essence 1 - Game starts in Chicago, Illinois, USA.
1920's - Harlem Renaissance
1920 - Prohibition begins
1920 - Mexican Revolution ends
1920 - Women gain the right to vote
1922 - A 20-ton meteorite lands near Blackstone, Virginia
1922 - Irish Civil War
1922 - Discovery of King Tut's tomb
1924 - Immigration Act
1925 - Essence 2
1925 - Scopes Trial
1925 -...

Anyone know a good method for generating alternate/parallel/pocket dimensions?

The classic.
>>43742734
Supposedly there are methods involving black holes and magnetic monopoles, but I never really understood the physics of it myself.

This is amazing.

>By the rules, the railgun on my Hammerhead is able to shoot down your drop pods
>Diplomacy/Persuasion/Negotiation/etc. are skills
How does this make sense? Tying knots, playing an instrument, and picking locks are skills. They determine what a character can do or give some bonus. But any non-mute character in a role-playing game can talk (since it's a human being playing a role), so why are these "skills" with associated "skill checks" in so many systems?
>>43742087
By the same line of reasoning, every non-maimed character can move his hands, so tying knots, playing an instrument, and picking locks shouldn't be skills either.
>>43742087
By OP's totally-not-a-bait-thread logic, since I am capable of lifting my arms, I must be capable of lifting a minivan over my head.
Even after the long walk through the eastern forests, the time taken walking the last few miles to the manor helping along Lucus' damaged golem feel frustratingly long. Plenty of people stop to stare, or at least give a sideways glance as they hury by, curiosity overcoming decorum as they see the Raziel helping along another half-broken old golem, stooping to support the slightly smaller artifice. I would like to hope it looks dignified, but I have my doubts.
Soon, the walls of the manor stand before us, and I help Ose in through the gate first before Raziel passes...

“It looks like you've had quite an eventful trip. Shall we prepare a bath and meal, and a room for your guest?” Loren continues, stepping forward, looking from me to Lucus and back, a catlike grin passing across her features for a moment as her gaze lingers on me. I suppose I should be thankful that there's a crowd, or I might be being subjected to a rather more aggressive welcome.
“Yes, thank you Loren,” I nod, keeping an eye on Lucus as he stares at the manor, the servants, everything,...

>>talk to Sir Paxton
Let's let Lucus calm down a bit and get some advice from Paxton.
Welcome to Academy City. The time is late night, the weather is frosty, and the date is January 28.
You are Kyril Torikov, Level 3 telekinetic ‘business owner’, and you were working late. It wasn’t like you couldn’t put it off for tomorrow. Though with Lupin slated to act tomorrow, and your commitment to stopping her, you certainly didn’t want to leave things unfinished if you could help it. Your number’s man had class the very next day so you had told him to retire early for the night. The same could be said of your girlfriend. As for your right hand man,...

Immobilize them completely with TK and then talk
They weren’t being subtle, so you weren’t going to be either. That said, you had to take some precautions. Slipping off the limiter, you raised your head and spoke,
“What can I do for you?”
The intruder stiffened. It wasn’t because of fright, nervousness, or even an anticipation of an attack. They were simply struggling as you tried to pin them down with your Ability. It was partially successful seeing as you didn’t want to hurt them too much. On the other hand they were still capable of moving which could only be explained either by another Ability...

Old grognard wants to try this new fangled game you kids play. What's the best way to start?
>>43741514
Take fifty bucks and set it on fire.
Repeat until you win a tournament.
The best way to start is don't.
Magic players are dicks and treat new players like shit.
>>43741514
As a guy who is not into Magic but has seen a friend sink hundreds of hours and dollars into the hobby then suddenly quit after recent releases, I'd recommend that you not.
But, if you're that interested, check one the Generals. There's, like, three.

“Uh, Listen, Erma. Maybe we could talk about this.” Last time you escaped from the Vode An, you ended up destroying their hangar bay and completely wrecking most of their Starfighter complement. You imagine Erma and her cadre of Mandalorian battle sisters are not exactly to arrest you peacefully. Your R-22 slowly pulls in below your Barloz as the Vode An steers towards the two of you. “Look, maybe I broke your heart and betrayed your little gang of pirates and stole...

“Okay, that’s not-“ You stop yourself. No, you’re going to make things worse. “Look, just stay where you are, they ain’t going to hurt you. Just uh…” You check your systems. You’re still below the Barloz, which means their Tractor beam can’t touch you. And with Erma, Lima, and Uggla still flying closely around you, you might be able to pull off a miracle of some sort. But it most likely will involve leaving the Barloz behind. You quickly check your subsystems. Shields are recharging,...

You wake up with a loud grunt, and to a white light blinding your sight for a couple of seconds. You can hear the distinct sound of explosions and blaster fire far away, yet still nearby. You rise up from the bed you awoke on, taking in the familiar room you're in. It looks like a hospital room, but not a Republic one that you're used to. It's small, with a messy bed, a chair, a reinforced mirror, and a steel door occupying it. A quick look in the mirror reveals a stranger to you. You're wearing white medical clothes and your armor and equipment is nowhere...

Your legs feel like jelly when you slowly make your way towards the door. "It's locked." You mutter out loud to yourself. The panel to the left of the door is offline. Had it been online, you could have possibly done a poor-man's slicing job, but this is the time for drastic measures. With what strength you have in your arm, you smash your new cybernetic arm straight into the panel. You pull out the coloured cords from its insides and rip them off. The metal door opens slightly ajar,...

The angry knot between your shoulderblades tightens again. You whirl away from the empty archway, lip curled. “Enough of these -games-,” you growl. “What do you -want-?”
There is a moment's silence. A dark blot appears in the air above you, a spreading stain in the fabric of the air. It is followed by another, then another, until a swirling mass of black sphere twists together in a chaotic mess. The jumble finally resolves itself in a flash of gold and black, sweeping up to you nearly quicker than your eyes can track it.
“This is precisely the problem...

“And who—what are you, to make such a sweeping judgment?” Quinn demands behind you. “You kidnapped me to, what, act as bait so you could belittle my friend?”
“I took you as a warning,” the spirit rumbles. “All things can be taken away from one so unwary and poorly defended. You hurl yourself unblinking into the void and you are surprised when you attract unwelcome attention. I am far from the most malevolent entity you could have garnered notice from. Consider yourself exceedingly -lucky-.”
You repeat Quinn's question: “Who are you?”

You are Osyki, journeyman Totemist and first line of defense for your village against the rabid Behemoths wandering the land. Your master, the previous Totemist, fell in a battle against a terrible Behemoth, leaving the duty of defending your settlement to you. You have returned home to Grisoch after a lengthy trip abroad. Some experimentation by your apprentices has weakened the veil between your Workshop and whatever lies beyond. They have been taken from you. You intend to reclaim them from Hesheza Zahn, the spirit of the first Totemist.

You had a happy smile all day that morning. Not only was it the weekend and you had no classes at your university, today was also a day you promised to go out with Ruri. She was a long time childhood friend of yours. For as long as you can remember you have been together. "I wonder if Ruri made lunch today..." You thought to yourself as you get ready that morning.
Although the two of you promised to go to the same university, an unfortunate accident happened and she had to stay behind a year in high school. "She'll be joining me next year, our promise...
