Things have settled now that you are returned home to your beloved fortress. Your advisors are hard at work, either reinforcing you military or stabilizing your economy. The newly instated police in the former Hielonite territories are doing well to keep things in order while your main forces are away, and though there are still occasional upsets, nothing substantial can begin with them on the watch.
Legion is back to his normal routine of training, and gathering souls from the land's condemned. Duncan is weaving your spy network, always diligent. Marigold leads your Hellraisers in even more intense and demanding training, turning them into a tight and deadly machine. Gilbert and Caitlyn are researching more methods to increase your meager but notable magical presence in the world. And Sophia spends her days undergoing physical therapy and managing her new diet, all while contemplating the babe growing in her belly.
Vanessa is still far and away, serving demon lords in the fourth ring, while her mother tries to find a way to free her. But in the meantime, you are searching for the location of three ancient artifacts that Caitlyn believes can grant immense power.
As you rise from slumber once more, you must decide which avenue to focus on.

So the new Delta Green Agent's Handbook came out this week, have any of you had a chance to take a look? What do you think?
Also general Delta Green discussion, I'm looking to run a game in a few months and would like to hear tips.
Haven't had a chance to look yet.
I ran the last edition of DG at a local gaming con, people seemed to have fun but we didn't get to finish the scenario. I more blame that on the length and style of the scenario - Convergence - and con time limits than any problem with delta green as a game, though.
can someone explain ghouls in DG for me?
>>46831404
They're humans.
Prolonged cannibalism induces a massive change in the body, making them incredibly strong, nocturnal corpse-eaters.
They mostly live peacefully, beneath major cities. They're isolationist - they don't want contact with the "unripened fruits". Some wield ghoulish magic, and some outcasts live on the surface and prey on humans directly.
Ghoul magic is things like "eat a brain to gain all its knowledge" or "eat flesh to take their shape".
New Orleans has or had a powerful clan of ghouls ruling a crime syndicate. They had a killsquad of zombies in tactical gear, and various nasty magics.

The Dark Souls board game looks really fun
>>46789089
brilliant, now i can get fucked by the dice even harder
>>46789089
I really like how the boss AI is not reshuffled every time so that it encourages you to memorize the pattern. I also liked how it showed that rushing in to do a shitton of damage will fuck you over quickly. I also liked how facing sides of the boss left vulnerable gives bonus damage
Those dice are unforgiving though. It looks like the blue dice only go up to two, while the red dice go up to three.
>>46789089
They're scraping the bottom of the barrel with those stretch goal already tho
Started out with new classes, bosses, now it's barrels and a bonfire.

Likewise.
So, are we going to get a Jump Rain this time?
You're a Cave Hydra, big and mighty. Right now, you've found yourself in a rather peculiar situation involving two humans, an army and a dire Steppe Wolf and preparations for a... Siege.
"Anyway. What is your name, cub?" Sonya asks. The massively scarred canine slowly walking over to your resting spot, sniffing out your provisions and licking her lips, making you drag the cart a bit closer to yourself. That brings giggles to the two humans who wanted to get a bit closer to you, the short haired blonde female muttering something to the bigger male with black hair slicked back. Although he looks perpetually angry, he seems to have a sense of humor of some kind.
But returning to a bit more pressing matters at your claws, you focus back onto Sonya, she's still looking up at you, idly waiting for your response. For someone who leads the beasts in this 'army', she seems to have a rather carefree attitude, but you cannot deny her pressing aura of command.

If nothing else, you've learned one thing today – you despise leeches.
You're not talking about the kind of parasitic nobility that you will soon be rubbing shoulders with at Kurasu's undeserved party, but actual leeches. Fat, black slugs that cling and suck at anyone who so much as sets foot in their territory. Normally, this wouldn't be a problem – you could just stay out of their territory, after all. Unfortunately, that isn't always an option. Like, say, if you need to fish a bloated, stinking body from the stagnant waters of an underground lake.
You're not bitter. Not even a little bit.
Still, it might be dirty work, but it's work that needs to be done. If allowed to fester on sacred ground, human remains can cause a god to become cruel and spiteful – especially if the body belonged to a murder victim. You don't know for sure if that was the case or not, and only Tawn could say for certain.
It's about time, you figure, that you had a few words with him.
>>46833092
As you flick away the last of the leeches – still fat and smug with the blood it took from you – you turn your attention to the body. An unknowable length of time spent floating face down in the dark waters here has done it no favours, leaving it almost as dark and bloated as the leeches themselves, but you force yourself to consider it closely. You came down here on a rope, and that same cord might just serve as a harness to lift the body up. As plans go, you're yet to think of a better one.
With the loose end of the rope tied tightly around the body's torso, looped under the armpits, you give it an experimental tug. Good enough, you mutter as you try not to imagine the body tearing, giving way beneath the cutting rope. You might help dragging it up, a little extra muscle, but that's something you'll deal with later. One or two of the trapped soldiers would suffice – it might be a change for them, doing some hard work for once.
Taking the rope in hand, you walk yourself up the rough cavern wall until you reach, once more, smooth and worked stone. Grunting out one last breathless curse, you haul your weary body up and into cell 21 once more. You're about to start dragging the cadaver up after you when you pause, listening to the air. You're not alone. Cautiously prowling out of the cell, you find Tawn leaning against the railings, looking out over the rest of the prison.
“Told you not to come up here,” he says quietly, forming his words very carefully, “Guess you saw, then.”
That's right, you reply, you saw. That was Rin's brother down there, wasn't it?
“The other anarchist,” Tawn nods, “You know what happened down there, don't you? You can guess, at least.”
>It doesn't matter. You did what you had to do
>You murdered him, is that it?
>I want you to tell me, in your own words
>Other
>>46833097
>I want you to tell me, in your own words
a lot of things could have happened, really. That said, I dont think Tawn knows about the god?
>>46833097
>>You murdered him, is that it?
What the hell is going on Tawn? I get you're angry, but this is overboard.
Why does Wizards make bad cards?
>>46825156
Freedom from negative consequences? They can always just load a set with mythic (fucking mythic) lands.
limited
it makes no sense because limited is also fun when they print good cards, but that's their reason.
The lower the power disparity between the high and low end, the lower the price of the top-end cards. Bad cards exist to dilute the cardpool.

Everyone welcome.
FAQ:
Q - What is Towergirls?
A /tg/ creation. Read more here.
https://1d4chan.org/wiki/Tower_Girls
Q - How do I play?
A - It's a CYOA, there are no established mechanics for the rescue. All the pages to the game are in the imgur album linked in resources.
Q - Why aren't/are we we working on; Gen V/Knights/combat mechanics/etc.
A - No. We recognize that spreading out our efforts is what originally killed the project. Accordingly, we're focusing on just one thing at a time and finishing them out.
Q - Hey, can we make a pricness about X fetish?
A - It generally comes down to what people like. Propose the idea and see if others want it.
Q - Is there a map/unified setting?
A - Nope. Though proposals have been made, nothing concrete has been created.
Q - Can I post fanart/fanfiction here?
A - Go right on ahead, just make sure it's within the global rules.

What would a reverse gnosticism be like?
The material world is good and the spiritual is evil?
Reason I'm asking is that I'm trying to make an interesting religion for the civilized (and technologically superior) empire that is just about to show up on the borders of the PC's land.
they would probably be surprisingly peaceful, or at least merciful, if they are good adherents to their fate.
After all, if the spiritual is evil, you don't want t osend people back there, do you?
Make more babies, get their spirit into the material world!
>>46821201
when you say "gnosticism" you're referring to dozens of idiosyncratic systems and cults spanning from just before the time of Christ to the Manicheans in the seventh century, and even to the modern day Mandeans. Valentians, Cathars, and even the followers of Simon Magus are all considered "Gnostic". Soooo it kind of depends on what variety of Gnosticism you mean, exactly.
Really, the only thing consistent among Gnostics is an extreme penchant for elitism and seclusion.
A lot of the Gnostics who opposed the Church Father proposed that the *true* God was above understanding, immortal and infinite and made purely of light(also, in some teachings, hermaphroditic); also popular was the idea that the Old Testament God was a usurper and basically a minor petty being, the Demiurge.
Gnostic systems are, of course, notoriously inconsistent.
If you want a great, but heavy, book on the subject, read Gnosis by Kurt Rudolph.
The villains in my setting are basically extremist Gnostics who want to destroy the entire physical universe and everyone in it
After eons upon eons another world has finally stabilized and evolved enough to hose sentient life. A world full of magic and creatures such as Dragons, demons, angels, and more. The vast majority of life is not sentient, running merely on instinct and some learned behavior, but now small tribes of creatures are beginning to form, a good bit more intellectual than the savage monsters of the world. One of these tribes is yours, so fill in the sheet below and lets get started.

Do you think our civilization would be mature enough to handle a sudden emergence of magic, or would it quickly lead to our downfall?
Assume all humans gain magical potential and that mana is naturally produced by the body.

they want to ban guns, why do you think people wouldnt want to ban magic?

Do you mean spontaneous casting, or a discovery by a small group?

Every major city would burn down overnight.
I know for a fact that if you gave everybody the ability to throw fireballs, a sizable chunk of them WILL do so at the earliest opportunity.
And it's much easier for a dozen morons to start a bunch of fires than it is for a bunch of freshly-empowered firefighters to figure out how to put a fire OUT with magic.

Rooms and passageways that aren't reasonably sized for combat.

You have to justify your setting in non-megadungeon campaigns.
You have to justify your settings in campaigns in general.

jund costs more than 2000$ usd these days.
and when they can be reprinted, they aren't and if they are, they are rare shifted from UC>R R>M so that the prices don't change anyway.
Who do they expect is going to spend that sort of money?
What about the people still working at McDonalds that love the game, eventually it will simply become too expensive, and they will lose interest and quit.
Soon the game we all love will become a hobby for only those with the biggest wallets.
all of this because wizards has been protecting the investment fags.
Good thing they have a new president at wizards, then again, shifting management usually isn't a good sign to begin with.
Oh, and I haven't even fucking mentioned the fakes being printed that are slowly nearing perfection, or the amount of stealing that goes on, just so people can actually play, or the price gouging at LGS.
I'm not the only one bitching about prices either, just take a look at some of these videos.
