So a few days ago I was talking to a friend about the settlement of Attawapiskat in Northern Ontario, which has declared an emergency because of literally hundreds of suicides, ten attempts in one day at one point. From that I had the following idea for a setting
> All people are slightly psychic
> individually, they can do nothing
> but when thousands, or even millions, are crammed together in cities their collective unconsciousness can
> Their urban legends create monsters
> and their negative emotions fuel
them
> However their collective will to live also creates a 'personification' of the city, which tries to keep it alive
> small towns have weak protectors which fight off one or two monsters
> While cities like New York or Tokyo have super-powerful protectors who fight off hundreds of foes
> if they die the city goes full Attawapiskat until a new personification is born
> the idea would be a campaign where several low-to-mid-ish level personifications must team up for some purpose
And that's all I got so far.
Please feel free to add to the lore or describe your own cities
Disclaimer 1: Attawapiskat is a native settlement, I've seen where these sorts of threads can go so /pol/acks please restrain yourselves
Disclaimer 2: I know this is not the most original idea (pic related) rest assured if I am ripping something off it is unintentional

I like it!

How do the personifications interact with the world? Are they in their own plane of reality? Or do they just walk around like normal people?
>>
>>46884794
>where several low-to-mid-ish level personifications must team up for some purpose
Just to comment on this, but maybe it has to do with incorporation?
Several smaller towns are forced by economic or municipal reasons to incorporate into a single city?
Or maybe the reverse is true, where a city's boroughs and outlying areas feel like they would do better as separate entities due to gentrification or changing demographics, and now there's a surge of monsters from the negative emotions and stress, even as the city personification suffers from a fragmenting personality.

They walk around their cities and can interact, however insert standard 'unusualness filter' so their fights or oddities aren't noticed. I just like imagining Toronto or someone hanging out on billboards or inside fast food stands

Just tell him he can't improve his character unless he learns how the rules for it work because he's slowing down the game.
>>
>>46849324
Step 1 in improving his character's skills is reading the rulebook
>>
>>46849324
Just give him the wrong information that makes his advancement worse than it should be. That's what I do to my players these days. I mean for fucks sake, you've been your rogue for a year now, how do you not know how your sneak attack works yet.

A thread dedicated to discussion and feedback of games and homebrews made by /tg/ regarding anything from minor elements to entire systems, as well as inviting people to playtest your games online. While the thread's main focus is mechanics, you're always welcome to share tidbits about your setting.

Try to keep discussion as civilized as possible, avoid non-constructive criticism, and try not to drop your entire PDF unless you're asking for specifics, it's near completion or you're asked to.

Let me get the ball rolling!
I know the OP says
> try not to drop your entire PDF unless you're asking for specifics, it's near completion or you're asked to.

but I'm going to do that for a few reasons -
1, it's actually scans of my whole development journal so you can see the thought process, start to present.
2, I'm working the graphic design out along with the mechanics so you get to see some sketches too.
3, it's what I got.

I should have the ruleset typed up later today. Hope so, cuz I'm supposed to run it this weekend. There's some mismatched .txt files I could share, but they don't make any more sense than the .pdf and don't even look as cool.

Try typing it out in plain text, because that is basically unreadable. It looks like the work of a madman.

Use OOC and ask someone for help on how to play. People will almost always help you get a grip of the game if you're polite about it, just don't reveal too much in-round information in OOC.

FAQ:
>What the fuck is this?
Somewhat a campaign of crack-infused free-form roleplay in the grim darkness of the far future.

>When do you guys make these threads?
Usually mondays at 2PM GMT, but they sometimes extend to Tuesdays if we got caught in the middle of something when the thread died and it was too late to make another one the same day.

>Can I join in?
Sure, just think of a character and have fun, you can find most info in 1d4chan albeit it's ussually a little bit out of date in comparison to where the threads are.

>Is there any requirement in character creation.
Not really, we've had Xeno infiltrators, Chaos infiltrators, Villains, Heroes, Normal Guardsmen, Crazed Guardsmen, Assassins, Psykers, Space Marines, Inquisitors, Squats... just think whathever and join the fun.

>Is it allowed to have more than a single character?
Yes as long as you don't use it to powerplay.

>So how you guys do the playan'?
We tend to use spoilers for OOC chat, but nothing is set in stone.
We tend to use greentexts for describing a character's actions, but again nothing is set in stone.
Use d20s for combat checks and d100s for other things you want to roll, higher Is better.
It's important to know that the regiment is now in the employ of a radical Ordo Xenos Inquisitor, with influence from an Ordo Malleus Inquisitor and under the watch of an Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor. Yes we've been through a lot of shit.

Is fluffing my Space Marine's allied detachment of IG as chapter serfs fluffy?

Or is that just something that would never happen?
>>
>>46898045
There are many, many circumstances with Astra Militarum partners with Astartes. IG is just a bunch of normal guys so sometimes they need a chapters support.

Does anyone have that excerpt where (I think it was some IG general/officers) was telling the DA Chaptermaster that he knew about the fallen in a hinty kind of way.
>>
>>46898061
Yeah but I mean is it heresy for a chapter to use their serfs in battle?

It kind of bypasses the whole 1000 men in a chapter rule if they can have 10,000 chapter serfs acting as soldiers

I see a lot of dumbfucks and turbo autists here holding up DEPENDS ON THE SETTING as a mantra like the left uses the word privilege.

It does not, in almost all cases, depend on the setting. FOR EXAMPLE: If someone asks about orks and doesn't specify they mean 40k. For fantasy stuff, people mean D&D. It is very easy to work out from context if it is Eberron, FR, etc.

There are not so many settings out there that you can't use your brain and work out which one is meant.

So when you bleat DEPENDS ON THE SETTING what you really mean is:

1) LETS TALK ABOUT MY FAVOURITE ANIME/VIDYA/NOVEL
2) LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT MY HOMEBREW SETTING/SELF PUBLISHED NOVEL
3) LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT SOME OBSCURE HIPSTER GAME NOBODY FUCKING CARES ABOUT OUTSIDE OF POLYGON/RPS/SUSD PRAISING THE FACT IT HAS A BLACK GAY ELVEN COLLEGE PROFESSOR WHO IS A MEMBER OF THE ACLU AS AN ICONIC
4) SOME KIND OF CHING CHONG WEEB SHIT NOBODY CARES ABOUT

"Depends on the Setting" is just another way of saying "I noticed you didn't specify a setting, and I am autistic."

You should just ignore it, because it's always just a meaningless post.

I'm sorry you feel this way. Did you create this thread so you wouldn't feel so autistic? Because you're doing a shit job. Like, your mother giving birth to you level of shit job.
