/tg/, tell me about your superheros (or supervillians). How did they become a hero, and why?
By becoming a tokusatsu behemoth after being in cold sleep for several years and joining a holy crusaders to defend humanity
One time I played as Great Cthulhu, defender of the Earth. I did it before that video game came out. It was awesome. He fought to defend mankind from robots from space, and threw the ISS at their leader, thus destroying the town and saving the earth.
By spicing my bloods cells full of adrenaline to never be tired and run faster and forever have an unstoppable suffer rush that never tires out till death by injecting my self with carbohydrate's for the sake of science and to participate in a super soldier project that only 1 in a hundred something will only get one power for some reason that's actually useful to themselves
Ever been to Hell in any of your games? Playing the new Doom game made me wonder all the hopping between hell and back made me wonder how often did other people's PC's went to Hell.
What was your purpose in Hell? What did you find? Did all of your party survive? I don't mean the traditional Christian Hell, but really anything in your game's setting that may as well be called Hell.

Well I play geist, so going to hell is kinda a thing.
I'm considering having the Empress that is the current vessel of the world's goddess send the players to hell but I'm not sure why she would yet.
Maybe she's sick of their murdering and attempted rapes.

Imperium is retarded and every smart human joined Tau already Emeror of Mankind aka Cocksucking Homo was nothing more than yet another warmongering tard and I shit all over his corpse.
I don't like people who trash talk in character when I'm just trying to play relaxing game with my toy soldiers. I get that the universe is what makes it fun for you and, but I don't need you yelling Hersey at me from across the table constantly. Maybe try socializing outside of repeating some meme about how awesome your team is?

You're a faggot

You know how you guys keep bitching about caster supremacy? Because this sounds right up your alley.

I hear it has internal balance issues, so DSP only is still preferred.
>>47324232
Balance issues? DSP? Please explain.
SOP is only for children who want to play expy anime and doctor who characters.
It is very gauche.
The year is 2040
Humanity was crushed by the Fleet of Fog, and can't risk losing the firepower they still have left.
They had to watch as their navies were all destroyed by ships that brought them hope and victories long ago.
But now, they can see these ships in a new light...

Its been 5 days since you had the tea party on Lexington, and you've spent most of your time working on getting used to controlling nanomaterials.
The lights in the room, much less the whole base, flash red as an alarm blares.
"FOG PATROL FLEET SPOTTED. IT CONTAINS 1 WYOMING CLASS BATTLESHIP, AND 3 CLEVELAND CLASS LIGHT CRUISERS. ALL SHIPGIRLS PREPARE FOR LAUNCH IN 10 MINUTES," the loudspeaker projects loudly, hurting your ears slightly.
You have a few options of things to do in 10 minutes before you have to go.

Bah, who needs to hide when we're a Battleship?! What we need is more aim and accuracy boosts for the guns from using Spotting planes!

Hey /tg/
I'm making a character for my campaign, basically a one of the 'villains' generals. How can I make this guy the biggest hate sink he can be? I'm talking Nurse Ratched hated.
So far I'm gonna have him hold an elaborate, but clearly flawed system of values he believes excuses all his actions, and even makes them right. This system will pull a 180 degree turn every time the situation changes. E.g.
> When destroying small disorganized clans
Might makes right. These people should thank me for enforcing...

You're the GM right? First you need to make a thing the players love. Some likeable characters.
Then you need your villain to fuck these characters up, being totally smug about it and getting away with it.
As a case study, look at Geoffrey and Theon Greyjoy from GoT. Fans hated those assholes, and all because they dicked some fan favorite characters over.

Man, she was hot. I would have liked to fuck her in the closet in that uniform.

Have him steal their stuff. Works every time.

Have these become criminally underutilized?

Off the top of my head they should mechanically be equivalent to potions, so the only difference is flavor in my opinion.
They might be used as potions for spells targeting objects though, since they don't require ingestion so maybe there's more to it?
I don't miss them but can see why someone would pick them up for their setting

What system would you pick to run a game about sneaking, backstabbing, and overall being a shady bastard?
>>47321014
DCC RPG with an all Thieves party.
It's probably the only RPG, and surprisingly enough in a D&D-inspired game, where the Thief's skills didn't make me outright angry.
GURPS
GURPS, we are doing exactly this
To all you poor saps hyping Nahiri: I'm better.
>>47320608
Who are all these people even?
Like, yeah, I get it, the metaplot of MtG is about some superhero magical dudes fighting each other, but literally who are all these people?
>>47320635
Who? The Jacetice league, or Nahiri?
>>47321309
The whole Planeswalkers business.
I don't mean in general, I mean who are the people that are involved in it, what do they do, and why do they even associate with each other.
What worlds have you crafted /tg/? I will post mine, and feel free to discuss it and even run away with it for your own use while you post your own for us to enjoy as well.
In my setting the Not!Roman empire rules the mainland, with monsters lurking in the shadows but mostly kept hidden away by the power of these humans who have taken over. Out in the ocean, farther than sny boat bas ever gone, there are islands, small, craggy, and mostly barren. These islands were the cradles of the world. The gods each put a species split between two islands and each half had different cultures. Then the two cultures are pit against each other and the one the gods declare the winner gets to move on, but the losers are either all dead or trapped on an island that...

Yes, I just copy pasted this from a thread I posted it in. With the bit of feedback I got from that thread, I can add the second race. Small evil goblin inventors that gave the notRomans their architectural marvels like aqueducts and giant temples to the gods that chose them as the ones to survive on the mainland. The half left behind are huge less inteligent goblins that are good at more personal crafts. Swords, jewelry, baskets, those types of things.

I was working on a kids-friendly post-apocalyptic game called Irradiant, with confusable mutants, people preserved in giant sardine cans, glowing crystals that disgorge massive preserved meals, robot nannies that chase and incarcerate kids, etc.
Had a simple tag-based system - Good At/Bad At the following [tags].
The popularity of Fallout and Adventure Time made me feel the idea was derivative/overdone, so I quit.
