Hi fa/tg/uys.
I haven't been on here in a really long time, and I don't know if /tg/ still gets things done, but I was inspired 5 years ago to write a game of my own.
The character sheet for the game is attached. Let me know if you'd like to see more. I'll be posting a few other things. I need feedback on the game, and I've sort of started a patreon for it, but I'm probably not going to link to it here.
Everything about this game was personally written or made by me.

Epic bait. Gilgamesh is looking at that and thinking to himself
>Damn, I could only top that on a good day.
>>47875642
I'm not sure how this is bait. I just want people to play my game. Posting some rules in this and the next few posts.

This probably isn't formatted particularly well, and it's not in anything like a book format, so I'd like to know if this is intelligible to anyone else.
If demons were bound to hell, or a similar dimension, what advantages or uses could they get for making bargains, deals or pacts, besides owning souls?
I'm thinking of something for a D&D campaign, in which demons of increasingly higher power can take larger and larger body parts in return for skills, but what use could they have for body parts in the real world?
Well, depending on how much you want to stick with the "bound to hell" part, perhaps the body parts serve as an anchor in the real world. Sort of like a lich's phylactery. Maybe it doesn't allow them to manifest in the physical world, but does grant them additional power in their home dimension? Or, maybe they build flesh constructs out of the body parts they take, using these to retrieve magical McGuffins in regular reality by proxy.
Or maybe they're just sick fucks and like to hurt people, and enjoy seeing people give up their physical body...

Flesh construct is a pretty good idea, should tie in nicely to a totally-not-Dracula who lords over his subjects and demands a blood tithe.
Of course, all that blood isn't just for him.

Demons have endless fun torturing you. If you plead them to stop, they will use you as a tool to spread suffering and misery to others. To interact and make pacts with them you have to essentially dismiss protection of gods. You can have all power you want but you won't enjoy it for long.
any anons read the edge chronicles?
the lore surrounding it is cool as fuck (especially the fauna and flora)

Mah nigga
I loved those books as a kid and I still do. I don't know any other fantasy world so far off the standard tropes and still so vivid and natural.
I didn't really like The Immortals though and now I'm afraid of starting the new trilogy.
>>47876127
Then there's the skyships of course.
>>47874931
There was a really elaborate RPG /tg/ was writing based on it. It was incredibly complicated and used massive tables to resolve the simplest things.
Post ideas for the new lili in EMN? Tell others why you're happy they don't work for wotc.
What do you want? Not want? etc...
I'll start:
Liliana, Innistrad's Last Hope 2BB
+2: Put a 2/2 zombie onto the field
-3: Each player sacs 2 creatures
-8: Search target opponent's library for any number of creature cards and put them into play under your control. They are zombies in addition to other types.

Shit, starts w 3 loyalty.

They've been following a pretty consistent pattern for a while now.
Doe's your bigbad laugh or cackle at everything?
What does this even denote?

Megalomania and arrogance.

That he's a jolly guy and loves what he does.
An impending dickening.
>That one game you'd love to run, but that you're probably the only one interested in actually playing
What it is, /tg/? Bonus points if it requires a homebrew system.
For me it'd be a game about being a professional racer in a Formula One season (hence pic related) or any other racing discipline. Instead of being on a party, each player is a driver for a separate team/manufacturer, getting into personal drama between each race, and competing against each other on the race weekends. Basically, pic related as a game.
>>47874590
That sounds quite interesting actually. Since I'm not a fan of F1 really, I'd like there to be some sort of table you roll on for each race. By and large, nothing happens and someone wins, but there's a chance for foul play and crashes to occur.
My dream game is about Paladins in a High Fantasy setting, but I just can't bear to play DnD/PF/Fantasycraft. And I dunno what I would play, Dungeon World didn't scratch the itch.
>>47874590
Talislanta.
Such a cool world, people only remember the "no elves" ads back in Dragon magazine.
>>47874590
I actually have two games I'd love to run, but it would have to be online in a chatroom due to my current location not being good.
Game #1: One Piece, game based on the anime/manga series where you assemble a crew and go on adventures in such for action and treasure. Players would be able to pick a crew class and a battle class that helps the crews out in different ways. I also had races figured out as well as abilities, locations, choice between being a pirate, bounty hunter or marine.
Game #2:...

> making your characters into shitty memes
>>47874204
Didn't realize Grognak was a meme. I just chose the name because I figured "oh he'll only survive a day" so I gave him the first Barbarian name that popped into my head.

How viable a weapon would a hammer be for a samurai?
>>47873226
Same as the giant, studded club they used.
Can it kill my enemies? Yes? Then we're good.

I suspect it's not a common weapon by any means, and you might get some weird looks by the traditionalists, but they existed.
