Stage 119: Portents, Platitudes, and Perfections.
Your half sister Ryuu Nabiki has been restored to life, or something like it. More than that, she has been restored as a demigoddess, somewhat beyond the level of you or your cousin Hauko. Where before her shattered Pearl was dust in the possession of the youkai that was representative of the Forest of Suicides, black Aokigahara, you have not only restored her Pearl, but turned her into a potent possessor of the lost souls of the suicides that have ended their lives in the forest. They are chained to her – at least in a Barrier – by slender silver chains. Colorless and iridescent fire spills from her aura, and her tail and head are crowned with blue-green Ghost Fire.
She's as amazed at the transformation as you are.
More importantly, it verifies something you suspected before: Ryuu Nabiki was no more Horobi than Ryuu Hauko ever was. She was certainly something, and potentially powerful, yes, but she wasn't the recipient of Ame-no-Horobi-no-Mikado's kimoto. Or if she was, then the spirit of Aokigahara supplanted it. Which is probably why Oba-san wasn't interested in using her as a vessel, and an even more likely reason that Er Yin-sensei and Kiku-chan were unable or unwilling to execute her despite failing the test of Horobi in Kiku's Barrier. You're pretty certain that this was not how Kiku-chan expected things to turn out, considering she was beside herself with a series of emotions you're not entirely sure you could quantify at the moment.
There's also the good possibility you were dead for a few minutes. But you're better now, fortunately.

“Namo Amida Butsu,” you murmur softly over hands placed together, as you sit before your sister. She blushes, and shakes her head, lifting her hands. “Well, you're closer than I am, and we're both closer than Hauko.”
“We're not Buddhists,” she points out amicably.
“Hasn't stopped me before. Not much doesn, really, which is something I should probably work on.”
“What?”
“Nevermind....”
[] “What will you do now?”
[] “Whatever your plans were, I have a request....”
[] “What is it like, being....well, you?”
[] “I have a theory you should probably hear.”
[] “Do you need a place to stay?”

You are Adrian Brown, a twenty five year-old third-year medical student living an otherwise normal American life in search of employment. That was until you woke up inside a derelict and demon-infested hospital with four other victims of short-term memory loss. Together, the five of you managed to somehow survive by negotiating with demons and defeating those that were not so amicable. And upon escaping, the all of you realized that it wasn’t as simple as that.
Task Force 666 a multinational organization dedicated to combating hostile demons and those that would use them for ill intentions. And the hellhole you just went through? That was your ‘job interview’, one that you passed with flying colors. When properly offered employment as an agent among the ranks, you accepted without too much hesitation or second thoughts. Duty to humanity and whatnot.
You are now a Devil Summoner in the service of the Task Force, and the de-facto leader of East Coast Operations Rookie Team Three. It is your duty to protect mankind from all threats involving the demonic, but how you choose to carry out your orders is entirely up to you. The choices you make shall not only affect those around you, but the fate of the entire world itself…
[12:23 AM, Tuesday June 30th 2015]
For the briefest of moments, everything…just stops.
Squad Carina, their demons, and even Duke Orias pause in their movements to watch Adrian Brown collapse onto the ground for unknown reasons. It was a rather unexpected and sudden event. One moment, he had been in the process of getting ready to toss a Dis-Poison to one of his demons, and the next? Boom, on the ground, unconscious and twitching.
Everyone has varying reactions. Brady, Victoria and Adrian’s demons are demonstrating myraid degrees of panic, from ‘oh shit’ to ‘ohmygodisheokay?!’. MacKay starts shouting into his COMP, “Man down, man down”, as Fitz moves to try and flank the enemy with consecutive blasts from her shotgun.
All Orias does is shrug, as if to say ‘not me’, and resume his attacks on the remainder of Carina Squad.
Then time resumes, and everything starts going down the slippery slope of FUBAR. Hopefully that can be rectified before it's too late.

How do you feel about cheaters?
In a casual competitive game: "Wow you sure showed me how much better you are."
In a cooperative game (D&D etc): "Why do you hate the idea of playing this game?"
In a tournament competitive game: Anyone caught should be banned from the game.
mrw in an RPG with friends there is that one guy that rolls the dice and then makes up what it say and never ever fails a roll. Why, man, why do you do this?
In anything competitive, don't cheat. Lose with dignity, get better, then come back or get the fuck out.
>>46800771
I actually think it's okay to cheat, if cheating is common parlance. No need to limit yourself to lose if no one else gives a damn about the rules.
>"Wait, you have a spellbook?"
>"Shit, do you not? Why the fuck not? Anyone can learn magic - and don't give me that shit about it being "too hard" or it "takes years". Of course it takes a while and makes you think about it, it's screwing with reality its-fucking-self. It's not gonna be as easy as riding a bloody horse. Look at the journeyman wizards you see around though, they're barely pushing thirty. They're at it full time, but after a few years on-and-off anyone can be projecting illusions, talking inside people's heads, even throwing firebolts if that's what you're into - but I don't recommend spending months or years learning how to be a shittier crossbow. Get a spellbook, learn some actual spells. Take a few years - not full time, obviously, you still need to be out there making money but anyone can take an hour before sleep to study up, have a poke through a book over lunch, whatever. Learn how to make yourself in-fucking-visible. Teleport, walk on ceilings, read goddamn minds. Sure, it's tough study and it'll take you a couple years just to get the basic theory right, but the payoff is literally magic. Why the fuck wouldn't you want to do that?"
>>46800265
You make a excellent point.
>>46800265

Or you know, learning spells is equivalent to needing at least a master's degree / ph.d in maths and most people, like in real life, simply do not have the mental faculties needed.
Hey m/tg/ just wondering if you or the groups you run with use informal "Keywords" to describe magic cards.
For instance everyone already knows and uses "Mill X" to replace:
>Puts the top X cards of his or her library into his or her graveyard
What else do you use?
>OP here
Here are some of mine that I use. About half of these my whole LGS use, the other half are just me and my wife.
Two more obvious ones first
Reanimate: To return a permanent from the graveyard to the field.
Cantrip: A instant or Sorcery that lets you Draw a card in additional to other effects.
Grow X: Place X +1/+1 counters on a creature
Blink/Flicker: To exile a target permanent then return it to the field. Blink is usually returned at end of turn. Flicker is usually instantly.
Manadork: Often just "Dork" for short. A CMC 1 creature that produces mana some how.
Impulse X: That thing where red often exiles X cards off the library and you can cast them until end of turn.
Gravedig or reclaim: Return a creature / any card from the 'yard to your hand.
>>46796354
Burn X: Do X damage to target creature, planeswalker or player.
>>46796354
Is Unblockable a keyword yet? I kept running into cards with it the term "unblockable" wasn't officially a keyword at the time.
Also:
Plink: "Deal 1 damage to target creature or player." Or Planeswalker, I guess. It's the Prodigial Sorcerer ability.
Bounce: "Return target to owner's hand."

>What do you do when people tell you that Netrunner is "too complicated" to try?
Make them try. Generally at gunpoint, but I'm not above baking a cake and making some great tea/coffee to bribe it out.
Context is everything.
>>46789838
>What do you do when people tell you that Netrunner is "too complicated" to try?
Most people I've gotten to play. But one guy I know keeps saying he wants to learn but doesn't want to take the time to do so because of the complexity.
I don't quite get it.
>>46790178
What I don't get is, you're unlikely to get all the subtleties in one afternoon, but one game is enough to get the gist of it.
Make some core HB vs Shaper deck for a start. You're set on the basics.
You are Ur'shal, Chieftain of the Stonetusk Clan and Warlord of the Wastes, and gods willing, soon to be Dragonslayer. You led your forces down into the tunnels beneath the mountains, cutting your way through the cultists lurking within and tearing a path up to the dragon's lair high above by way of the coven's earth magic. Cleaving your way through the forces the dragon arrayed against you, you have finally come face to face with the long-time thorn in your side, the Earth Dragon Slaagyr. No doubt the cult's high priest Joachim is already rallying his forces to chase after you, but for the moment at least, the dragon is all alone, and as vulnerable as a twenty meter long mass of muscle, teeth and thick bony plates is ever going to get.
“Spread out. Iron Warriors, guard the sorcerers, Honorguard with me,” you bark, your warriors scattering to surround the young wyrm.
Slaagyr snarls, swinging around in a sharp arc to swipe his tail across the top of the pile of treasure he dragged himself free of, a great shower of precious metals and baubles raining down on you, not hard enough to do anything more than bruise and annoy, but enough to slow your warriors down as they move to carry out your orders. You lower your arm, your forces recovering, spotting the dragon taking a deep breath from atop the pile of gold. You know enough about dragons to know his next move.
>Charge in, Slaagyr can't breathe on you if he's busy trying to avoid an axe in the throat.
>Order your forces to scatter, use the mounds of treasure for cover

Prolonged fight probably means heavy losses and a disadvantage for us. Also Joachim about to hump our rump. Less time we take to do this, the better.
Also mad skeelz and swag for speedrunning a dragon.
Would you play a game that takes place within a Virtual Reality game?
The idea being that players are characters in some sort of extreme advanced virtual reality. The game would be full of cheesy quests, random item drops, 0 time to equip and change items (but inventory limit) etc. The plots would not be reality to the Vidya plots, but rather guilds intrigues, raids to get better items, dealing with problematic players and hackers. Death would result in full item lost and spawning back in town. Players could 'break' character without breaking character. Items would always be decided by a random drop table based on the mob, etc.
Before anyone ask, no, it has nothing to do with that anime. Or any anime.
>>46811601
Sounds like fun. Meta as fuck.
>>46811632
That's one of the ideas. Make fun of the genre while still being able to have a couple 'serious' plotlines. Such as making the classical level up ding, or players camping to grind a boss until they all have purple tier / epic gear
>>46811601
I did something similar once because I had a party that liked to mess around and fail plotlines purely for the lulz factor of seeing what would happen.
Rather than getting frustrated and trying to make them play seriously, I just said everything was virtual and the could "reload checkpoints" when they finally got bored of seeing the town/city/world burn because of their screwing around.
It worked surprisingly well actually.
got a moralfag paladin in the party, how can I make him fall?
>>46811565
Are you the GM or the player?
>>46811565
Don't play and avoid ruining the game for both of you

Assuming I can't be the shitty hanger-on for some Mummy cult, I kinda like the idea of being a "greeter" for the Circle of the Crone.
Less about horrific pagan blood rituals, more about "hey, we're a support structure for you that isn't a militant Catholic heresy, a transhumanist academic cult, a violent revolution, or an oppression structure of fealty and servitude."
New to WoD, just started playing VtM with a group. Any quirks/anything fun you guys like to do with random powers? I'm enjoying how streamlined and decision/RP focused the system is.

Carrying over this prompt: >>46807769
>>46807647
Right. So impossible to see the aura of invisible creatures or objects, but using an action, one can tell that a creature has an Illusion aura if they are under Disguise Self for example. Which would raise some questions.
Furthermore, an Unseen servant is invisible and unaurable by Detect Magic, but what if it is holding something? Do items that enter the servant's "inventory" go invisible? How about with Mage Hand Legerdemain? Furthermore, Invisibility? What happens with your inventory and things added to your inventory after casting? What if you have a tiny creature in your pocket?
