Hey guys, I finally got time to continue working on the pdf, and one of the first things I wanted to try was to standarize item crafting instead of going with a touchy-feely thing where we (and by we I mean I) just lazily grab items from videogames and other sources and try to make them usable in our system.
So... yeah, Enhancements. Items, upon creation, can have natural traits and qualities, and the more or the better they are, the higher the quality of the item.
I ....basically wanted to hear your ideas and suggestions for item enhancements. They should be different...

>Hey guys, I finally got time to continue working on the pdf,
you have my attention
So if I'm reading this right, it should go like this?
Assuming I have +100 Int and +100 Agi, and I'm a level 50 Crafter, my base chance for getting 1 minor enhancement is 250% (guaranteed 1 minor enhancement).
Getting the 2nd minor enhancement would be a 150% chance.
Getting the 3rd minor enhancement would be a 100% chance.
4th minor enhancement is 75%.
5th minor enhancement is 62%.
6th minor enhancement is 56%.
And I can keep going until I fail the check.

Go back to where you came from. Don't ruin whatever good discussion is still had on /tg/
>A town is having a festival with a beauty contest
>The PCs decide to enter the contest
How would you resolve this in a manner that won't ultimately result in a war that ends the Age of Heroes?
>>43703840
In what role am I? The GM? Obviously I had a plan already, or I wouldn't have come up with something as stupid as a beauty contest. As a player? According to you, I've decided to participate, so all I have to do is not throw a retarded bitchfit over the outcome.
>>43703840
Anon, why would that result in a war that ends the age of heroes?
Highest charisma wins.
How would you port psychic blanks from 40k over to Shadowrun? And if you did, how would corps and authorities react to these walking balls of anti magic popping up?
>>43703478
it's shadowrun, the authorities would react to it the same way they react to absolutely everything else: they'd capture them, shove a lot of needles and probes into their asses and keep them in underground cells waiting for them to go berzerk and nuke half the city because they're tired of getting probed all the time by idiot scientists who think probing everything is the only way to get cred.

>>43703478
Pretty sure such things already exist, but they tend to be locational not persons. Since magic is the essence of life, really the only thing that could qualify would be a cyberzombie stapled together with cyber necromancy. Certain metatypes like gnomes have inherent magic resistance, but a full on essence hole would be something... Not alive. A real abomination. An un-thing.
As for how the corps and authorities would react, anon hit it. Experimentation, direction, exploitation, pogroms, etc
Last time on Song of Swords

Cowardly Parthian attacks on Gaul condemned by Roman PM, sodomy to follow
Alandi Lore When?
Song of Swords is a realistic fantasy tabletop RPG that draws inspiration from historical fechtbuchs, weapons and armor. Its combat system is fun as balls and it can be used for both fantasy and historical/mundane settings.
Call of the Void is a pulpy sci-fi tabletop RPG about fighting space-nazis and hunting giant whales with harpoons made out of the moon. Ironically it also has a very realistic combat system based around modern firefights, and can handle mundane or magical settings.
Here's a .rar archive with the newest version of the rules as well as all related current working documents: http://www.mediafire.com/download/12xqm1p2q69m392/Song_of_Swords.rar
Here's Ballad of the Laser Whales' latest version: https://www.mediafire.com/?rtbjk51jnm2wv8a
Here's a wiki detailing SoS's fantasy setting, getting filled up bit by bit as Jimmy reveals more details. Its worth a look before asking for lore questions in the thread: http://tattered-realms.wikia.com/wiki/Tattered_Realms_Wiki
There's also a roll20 room where new players are encouraged to try the rules, test new rules, and find game breaking issues: https://app.roll20.net/join/346755/hRKd4w
Roll20 Note: The Room might be empty, but the people who teach the game still browse the thread frequently. If you're looking to learn and can't catch us in the Roll20 leave a request and we'll get to you as soon as possible.
>sodomy to follow
I miss our drawfag
Is it time to let the threads die until the shitbag Australian gets thrown in jail and an actual editor fixes the game?
>>43703762
Did he draw sodomy to follow?
So, I want to make a sort of morally gray plot for my PCs to solve and I have hard time comping up with actual turn of events.
We have a king who killed his brother and took the throne. All nice and well, since king's brother did some horrendous shit(_________), but because of a good reason (__________). In fact, many deem the old king to be a hero.
What did the old king do? How did things take place?
Can you please help me flesh this out more exactly, /tg/?
thanks
>>43703147
He massacred a whole shitload of immigrants who tried to flee into his country.
The reason?
Because they had no capacity to accept them all, and to do so would consign his people to a slow death by starvation and disease, leaving them ripe for invasion by an aggressive neighbor.
A king's first duty is to serve his nation.
>>43703189
Was the old king named Trump? Go back to /pol/ with your topical agenda.

>morally gray
/tg/ I have finally been blessed with the rarest and greatest boon that could ever be bestowed on another by a GM.
A wish, and I want /tg/'s help to make sure I don't waste it.
The character himself is a knight, chivalrous almost to the point of parody but in all other ways a completely normal knight who's been caught in an adventure involving bastard Queens and Gods and magic beings and demons and is basically way in over his head but still desperately clinging to Arthurian knightly values and mortal concepts such as "Honor" and "Renown"...

Sacrifice the wish for the good of the world or something, it's the ultimate chivalry!
Wish for true love.
>>43702863
Don't make the wish.
Anything you could get with that wish that's worth getting? You can get that without shortcuts. Work hard, defend the innocent, uphold justice, and do it all on your own terms.
Would you sell your soul to an unstable robotic overlord for toy soldiers and food?
>>43702786
>Would you sell your soul
No.
>>43702786
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
I don't want the world, I don't want success, I don't even need to be loved. I just want to be alone with my toys. My childhood dream was to live in a world run by robots anyways.
>>43702786
>sell your soul
Assuming such a thing existed, why the fuck would you ever sell it?
Unless of course the afterlife consisted of nothing but unspeakable horrendous torture that you'd never get used to for all of eternity.
What if merpeople and nagas/lamias were actually the same species, and their lower halves shifted from piscine to serpentine as needed?
>>43702550
Then they would be the same species and their lower halves would shift from piscine to serpentine as they would need them to.
I have no fucking clue what are you expecting us to say here, really.
>>43702550
A better question is, beyond the ability to have two kinds of environments they could live in, what benefit would something like this really confer?
If there's no long-term imperative for such an adaptation, it's not likely to stick around.
I guess what I'm asking is what kind of world would need to exist to spawn such a creature?
>>43702642
Snakes can swim so its doubly useless.
I've tried to lurk, but it's just impossible so I'll just come out with a new thread.
How do I get into this giant niggas with big armors lore?
>>43702324
I know that there's an emperor and some "too much power to do anything" chaos gods. I wanna know more.
>>43702324
Essentially, the game and setting started as an over the top, too-ridiculous-for-mama wargame. Humankind ruled the galaxy but because of how fucked their dogma got, bureaucracy became so fucked there could be a whole planet making staples because some clerk was so sleep deprived that's the report he sent. Well, that clerk died shortly after that and no one noticed the difference so for 100 years that planet made staples until an inquisitor with a couple space marines came through thinking that it was a plan...

Modern Thread!
Before we begging i have a few questions:
Can modern be cheaper than standard?
How good is modern for people starting out?
What cards need to be banned?
>>43702056
Terrible OP. Can tell you don't play Modern.
Any tips on utron? I kinda wanna build it. I think it will be good in my meta because we have a lot of grixis decks and little fast aggro. Lots of people run snapcaster in U-Tron now, but is it necessary?
>>43703264
Snappy not necesarry. If there is very little aggro you should do well. But the deck is bad in aggro heavy formats, which is why I dropped it to play hulk footsteps.
Have you even used the blue space elf trope in one of your games?
>>43701736
>Horns
Pretty cool, senpai.
I'm tempted to use them in my Macross game, but I don't know if I want to go all out with the giant aliens.
I think Chiss and Arkanian offshoots probably both count. So yes.
>>43701736
No, but now I'm going to go masturbate to some blue space elves. Thanks OP.
Think of a weak enemy from any RPG system. Weak enough that your party could tear through it like tissue paper in their first encounter. Got one? Good.Now make it so badass that when your party sees it, they will almost always nope the fuck out of there.
>>43700995
Rule #1: Give it a fancy name. They won't fear some basic shit.
Flumphs.
Their touch turns magic items mundane. Irrevocably mundane. Items touched by a clumpy have to be melted down and recast just so they're possible to enchant.
This is kind of a thing in my setting. Not flumphs, but still.

> I will now Introduce you to Tucker's Kobolds.
From Dragon 127, pg. 3
Tucker's kobolds
This month's editorial is about Tucker's kobolds. We get letters on occasion asking for advice on creating high-level AD&D® game adventures, and Tucker's kobolds seem to fit the bill.
Many high-level characters have little to do because they're not challenged. They yawn at tarrasques and must be forcibly kept awake when a lich appears. The DMs involved don't know what to do, so they stop dealing with the problem and the characters go into Character Limbo. Getting to high level is hard, but doing anything once you get there is worse.
One of the key problems in adventure design lies in creating opponents who can challenge powerful characters. Singular monsters like tarrasques and liches are easy to gang up on; the party can concentrate its firepower on the target until the target falls down dead and wiggles its little feet in the air. Designing monsters more powerful than a tarrasque is self-defeating; if the group kills your super-monster, what will you do next—send in its mother? That didn't work on Beowulf, and it probably won't work here.
Worse yet, singular supermonsters rarely have to think. They just use their trusty, predictable claw/claw/bite. This shouldn't be the measure of a campaign. These games fall apart because there's no challenge to them, no mental stimulation - no danger.
In all the games that I've seen, the worst, most horrible, most awful beyond-comparison opponents ever seen were often weaker than the characters who fought them. They were simply well-armed and intelligent beings who were played by the DM to be utterly ruthless and clever. Tucker's kobolds were like that.

NUMENERA/THE STRANGE/GENERAL CYPHER SYSTEM THREAD.
Topic of the day: Why does no one play Numenera or the Strange? I've noticed finding games for it is really difficult, but I'm not sure why because the system is actually a lot of fun . Been in a campaign for half a year now.
Someone in my normal group ran Numenera not too long ago.
It lasted 5 sessions before he unceremoniously ended the game because we obsessively investigated every single thing, and that's having bad wrong fun.
I picked this up on a whim not knowing what it was when it was first released. Friends really want to play it. I really want to DM it. But it's a little intimidating, content-wise.
If anyone has run this before how do you go about it?
>>43699443
I've just started running a Strange campaign and from what I can tell there's a big focus on rewarding exploration and for the DM to be more of a storyteller and the mechanics are kind of oriented that way. I've always leaned towards more RP/story than combat so I really like the fact that I don't have to roll ever and can focus on telling the story and setting the scene. It can be intimidating because most of the GM guides just say do whatever you want, which isn't super helpful advice,...

Enter here ye depraved fools, and share those creations that should not be shared under light of day. This thread is mostly for the discussion of homebrew for d20 systems (although other systems are fine too) relating to sexual elements. Try to keep to the actual subject of homebrew though and not just collective wanking, as that's what separates us from /d/.

So I'm thinking of doing an ERP ironically with a bunch of friends. What is the craziest shit you guys have got?
>>43698929
Go for one of the early F.A.T.A.L. editions if yer looking for the ''craziest''. It has stats for infants for christs sake.
So you guys are just making dnd classes off your weirdo fetishes?Could I make one with inflation?
