>tl;dr explain / advise / teach how to science your way to OP position in forum / text servers
So I've seen before some legendary breads where people have used either their knowledge of systems or their knowledge of irl science to help them out in regards to certain systems or games be it to troll those involved or just to cause mayhem. A few examples are the guy who made a steampunk ironman suit and silvernitrate (if i remember right) to royally fuck over a game with some snowflake furries, or the one anon who had made a character that...

I'll bump with the few similar stories I have on hand but then I'll let the thread die.
Gonna post a multi part story but that'll be the last of the bumps.

How do you GMs handle this kinda thing?

If you can come up with a single sentence that makes me instantly want to suck your dick I will let you make this roll.
Tell me what is your character doing

I have poisoned your drink, and guess what's the antidote.

It's sort of like if Clint Eastwood would have shot the chinks to pieces the moment they got on his lawn in that movie, no warnings given, plus his house was invisible and nobody knew the neglected lawn belonged to anyone.

I dunno, OP. Why exactly do so many edgy faggots on /tg/ constantly post about how plainly malevolent entities and characters did nothing wrong?
The world may never know.
Hey I'm GMing in a hour and haven't thought of anything, help me out, my niggas.
What's the setting, fag
Behind the shopkeepers bookshelf there is a small dug out passage that leads down into an underground room. In the room there is one shovel and other digging equipment, one pedestal in the center and one artifact on top of the pedestal. The dirt wall behind it is wet and there is a horizontal scar of which small beatles are crawling out of. Upon touching the artifact the scar will open and reveal itself to be a giant eye embedded in the wall, and beatles and bugs will begin to spew out of its eyelids.

if it's in the primary Marvel universe, argue until it's too late, then die heroically.

Pull the BBEG inside out with your bare hands.
>>48197199
Go with 3.
Worst case, the universe ends up back where it started and the next group of heroes picks one of the other 2 options.
Have you ever fell in love of a character you made Or maybe made a player fall in love with one you created
>>48196117
Not even once, because I can separate reality from fantasy.
>>48196117
Yes.
I mean, not in a game, but this pretty much describes most of my relationships IRL.
People put up walls, dude, including me.
So I was reading up about this game Vampyr ans the main character is a doctor who becomes a vampire.
Being a vampire conflicts with his Hippocratic oath and so he doesn't?/wont? become "evil" so to say.
What are reasons that someone who's become a vampire won't or atleast at first wouldn't become "evil"?
Suicide, then forced resurrection.
Played a character with a similar backstory for a long time. He wasn't good, nor completely mentally sane, but definitely not evil.
>>48195653
What kept him from just killing himself again?
>>48195608
They don't actually have a physical need to drink blood, just a strong compulsion or addiction to do so.

How do I get past the crushing despair that my players might not like my campaign and hours upon hours of work might fall apart in an instant, ultimately making the whole endeavor worthless?
Huh? Are you afraid that they won't like it? Or you are sad about that they already didn't like it?
In case 1, JUST DO IT! Talking with players also helps.
In case 2, git gud and learn from mistakes. Or find a group of less privileged players.
>>48193981
Well first of all, realize that almost everyone hates the shit they make because a creator is really good at seeing the flaws in his creation. Everything you've ever liked has someone who thinks it's the worst shit they've ever made. This realization has never actually helped me, but maybe it'll work for you.
Second is to just decide you're probably lying to yourself and get out and just run the damn thing. Just keep running it even if you think it's awful. How bad can it really...

I feel like you have to put the big walkers in your deck to make Deploy worth it, but they would be useless if you don't draw Deploy
Can we have a thread about Savage Worlds? Going to be running my first game in the system sometime soon and i'd like to have some discussion about it
>>48189743
Yes, do have a thread. It's perfectly board related.
Would be nice of you if you bumped vocaroo thead before making this one, though.

why would i bump another thread before making my own?
i cant even find a vocaroo thread in the catalog

I ask that you forgive the rather ramshackle creation I've just dumped onto you.
See, I fly out for basic training in less than 12 hours and for reasons beyond my reckoning I was possessed with the desire to create a cyoa image. I'd never done one of these before and I threw this together in less than a day. I had initially planned for a much more expansive game, more nobles, other kingdoms, an alliance system, FAR more perks and threats as well as several resource pools and a more complex way of managing them. Due to time constraints and a desire to post something...

Read the 3e core book (link below). For the basics of combat, read this tutorial. It'll get you familiar with most of the mechanics.

That thread is dead, focus on the topic on hand.
And noko stopped functioning a few years ago, considering there's no email field on /tg/ I don't know why you'd assume it works in the name field.
What happens to the souls of a dead person when you immediately immolate their corpse?

Rene hasn't said a word to anyone for much of the trip East from Gravern. The Gerxel Empire whose orphanage was her childhood, whose oldest and most esteemed Director took her in and raised her as his own, has been toppled by the very same woman who left her with nothing. Conrad is dead, Felix has convinced Sara to abandon ship, and there's no way that Cicero hadn't lost his Witch Pendant upon his capture...
Rene buries her face in her hands, curled up tightly. There's no way Ximeno's plan will work now, and she still doesn't know where Veiz...

You are now Rene, continuously watched over as you're transported back to the former Gerxel capital... They're thinking of renaming it to something or another now, but hell if you know what. Or care.
