Are there any decent settings based on central asia and siberia?
Your post contains the only reasonably popular work covering that region.
>>46605774
I tried to make one for my last 5e game, but despite my best efforts everybody kept treating it like standard fake-Europe fantasy.

Fug
I wanna run something "Inner Asia"
In pretty much every other setting the region is typically an unexplored source of chaotic evil barbarian horse archers who eat babies, or a bunch of generic "noble savages"
No cities, no deserts, no forests, no religions
Just grassland and vaguely defined "shamanism"
How would you do it?
What playmat do you use for your TCG?
Posting some of the custom ones i've made for myself and my friends.

What are some cool encounters/BBEG's for a desert setting? Have you ever run a desert setting? Or if your characters have traipsed through a desert area as part of a campaign, how has it gone?
>>46604740
Some kind of mummy lord/lich hybrid would be good, or competing genie clans, almost all of which enslave the local non-genies. Blue dragons, standard evil warlords.
>>46604636
I tend to have level 1-2 be a lot less lethal by making players run combat-light sessions.
My last game started them with a heist on the local necromancer (another mage paid a local archissuppot (my TGs are basically miracle courts) a tidy sum for his spellbook); the place had a few traps (one lethal), one guard skeleton and mainly a few tricks like the book on his reading desk being a fake.
Still trying to figure out a good one shot for level 2.

What are your favorite dice?
Why does everyone have such a hard-on for chessex?
Are you autistic enough to care about the quality of GameScience?
Why shouldn't I just hand-whiddle my own wooden dice?
Have you ever bought a giant tub/jar/gallon/tub of random dice? How did that work out?
How many d20s can you fit in your mouth?
>>46604329
im the coolest guy at the table
>What are your favorite dice?
The ones that are rolling high. I know it's stupid superstitious but the second time a d20 rolls badly I swap to the next one in the bag. I usually have at least 3.
>Why does everyone have such a hard-on for chessex?
They're cheap-ish and come in lots of pretty colours/colour combos.
>Are you autistic enough to care about the quality of GameScience?
Nope.
>Why shouldn't I just hand-whiddle my own wooden dice?
I don't know, why haven't you? Staining and sanding might be a bit of a pain, but if you use a suitable hard wood it would work well. Oh and of course if the DM at your table is cool with the bespoke nature of your dice.
>Have you ever bought a giant tub/jar/gallon/tub of random dice? How did that work out?
Nope, not yet. I can never justify it to myself.
>How many d20s can you fit in your mouth?
I don't know, but please please please don't try it. They seem like a wicked bad choking hazard, and we all know the average person browsing this board is probably sitting alone with no one to administer the Heimlich.
>>46604329
>chessex
I'm a sucker for clear dice, and chessex doesn't color the numbers on their clear dice to contrast well.
kaplow dice all the way.

You and Nathan both wince. "We're still in hostile territory, Ames," you remind her.

The tunnel opens up into a small domed cavern. Tool marks on the walls say that someone made this on purpose - maybe to store something? - and then later abandoned it. Now the floor is littered with old bones that creak and snap beneath your boots.
A metallic scrape gets your attention from above.

So I played this today for the first time, and there are some rules I'm unsure about. Using 2e since one of us bought that a while back.
First, when do you do power checks? Do you do an opposed Invisibility vs Spot when using that power to go invisible in front of someone? Also is someone with superhearing unaffected by invisibility, or is there some check there like Superhearing vs Stealth? I was made to do a medium DC Invis check to make my clothes invisible as well but succeeding that I just shot people without them being able to see me and while that was against...

Bump. Any good podcasts or anything to get a feel for how the game should be played?

A peaceful radiance, like starlight woven into the finest silk spreads endlessly through your existence, illuminating the very depths of your very soul, cradling you in an all-consuming warmth as you fly weightless in some unearthly void. How long had you been here now, you wonder. How long had you basked in this perfect sun and how long would you yet be able to remain in its splendor? Such thoughts seem strangely foreign to you now and come unbidden, flitting through your otherwise still consciousness like silverfish with no earthly rhyme or reason. You do your best to ignore...

On the outskirts of the minor war occurring in the middle of the evidence warehouse, a group of genestealer cultists finally finished off the Inquisitorial minions that had been keeping them from the cell that contained their master. They clustered around the cell door and began hacking at it with their claws and weapons, but paused at the sound of approaching footsteps and turned to face the new threat.

This is going to be pretty short (like 10 post short) because the Sarge + Aimy + Marines part and the Massive fucking infodump at the end (which I really wish I could just deliver as a bulleted list) aren't done.
I'm going to post what I've got, though. Because I said I would and will be returning with more next Sunday.

Legend was confirmed for being dead recently, which sucks but is totally unsurprising.
As much as it's technically unfinished it is 100% playable as-is. The only thing that isn't properly listed is that the base shield is +1 AC.

Last time, you blooded your as-of-yet nameless mech with an UJCIDF Pumpkinseed by ripping it apart with your powerful arm servos and claiming its red mohawk crest as a trophy. You believe you may also have made a friend, and an enemy, in the other two pilots. Now, at last, you've returned to your home base, the armored Heavy Striker troop carrier...

Since you're back in your home territory, you've forgone civilian clothing for your white pilot suit and black leather jacket with a white falcon on the back to denote your status as an Iron Kestrel officer. As always, you have your aviator shades, and the hand cannon that Captain Ozark made you carry as part of your duties.
The name you were considering for your mech on the way back from Colony 1 was Knuckle Kaiser, but a last-minute change of heart could alter that name.

You and your sister stare in confusion at the prostrating girl before you on your back porch as your mother’s garden extends behind you in the calm evening dark.

As the Magical Champion of Love & Justice you helped to stop evil threats and protect the world, just as your mother and big sister had done when they were younger, until the trauma of your ultimate victory lead you to abandon the title and duty in hopes of living a quiet life without magic.
Now, your little sister has taken up the mantle and protects the Minato Ward of Tokyo and by...

Rene and her companions, some new-ish, some old, stand by Director Cato as she shouts. "Prepare yourselves for this moment! Be in physical contact with at least one of the other people who intend on warping with us. This pendant has particular rules..." Joining hands with Veiz and Cicero, Rene doesn't particularly pay attention to how the rest of the group connects. With Cato's cackle, there's a bright flash of light as she and Veiz give their father a final farewell-bidding look.
Elsewhere, Sir Dyrus' perspective is shown as he prepares...
