How would you do a group of bosses themed after the Chinese Zodiac? What powers or abilities would you give to each?
Hard mode: they must be human, no furries or anthros.
>>46338820
Not furry or anthro, just creepy and weird. Like The Pain, but for each of the animals.
Rat could be a guy in a coat that is constantly moving, and underneath he has a swarm of suicidal, murderous rats. Dog could be a huge guy with a big jaw who tries to bite people. Pig could be a gigantic fat dude who tries to crush you, or maybe (for a twist) he's not very fat but eats practically anything, including people. Cock could be a dude with razors on his hands and feet, who moves super quick and maybe wears feathers. And so on.
>>46338820
Or each could be a dude who just wears a mask all Hotline Miami style. No special powers, just guns and anger.
I hope the op are the correct animals
Snake is a lanky dude that can wrap his arms and legs around you and squeezes you till you suffocate/can poisen you somehow
You are Wolfgang Crowther, and you’re being showered with kisses by your girlfriend (who is also the Imperiate).
After two days of Sierra avoiding you by every means possible, you have learned that her disappearance had nothing to do with you. She was in Canada, of all places. It is your sincerest hope she forgets about the existence of the voice message you left on her phone.
Given your girlfriend has little to no capability with anything resembling technology, you should be safe for the time being. But at some point in the near future, you need to get her phone to yourself and remove it, before anything regrettable happens.
Of course there are worse developments than phone drama. Nabuth’shazzar is back, and he’s not alone. You are being watched. And with what you’ve gleaned of the situation between Father and Sulkrasph, you fear the last few months’ reprieve is at an end.

HP: 10
PP: 26/34
A nervous knot deep in your chest loosens. You can’t express how relieving it is to know Sierra wasn’t too scarred by what happened. Things are still normal between you, and you freaked out over nothing.
You know what, scratch that. Things aren’t normal. They’re better. Sierra’s not afraid of you anymore. She doesn’t get all red and blustery when you brush her hair out of her eyes, or freeze up when you decide drape an arm behind her waist.
She grins devilishly and presses her forehead to your brow, her obsidian eyes sharp and soft at the same time. Her aura is aflame with rings and halos of a hundred shades of power, outlining her in wondrous brilliance even sunnier than before.
you're not Languid!
Whatever happened in Canada, she’s brighter now from it, sharper.
Thoughtfully, you draw your fingers through her soft, dark hair, resting them on the root of her right horn. You’re keenly aware of the way her knee to rests atop your own. So long as you suppress the blazing pains incited from lying on your side, who knows how long you can stay like this with her. There’s little in this world, or any other that you’re aware of, that can put a dampener on Sierra’s affection.
But Sierras expression shadows, and you feel the muscles of her back tense slightly beneath the cloth of her shirt. “What’s it this time?” she asks, her light voice quiet and dark.
Dammit, she sensed your discomfort. You redouble your focus, burying your pain in peace and calm.
“You can just say, you know,” she says darkly, the tips of her razoredged fingers trailing across the corner of your neck, behind your ear. “Like, if I don’t want to talk about it, I mean.”

>No, it’s more that I don’t want to talk about it.
>Respond by hugging her closer to yourself.
>To be completely honest, my side’s killing me slowly.
>You don’t.
>It’s not that. Really. It’s something else.
>If it makes you feel better, I was thinking about keeping my door locked from.
> I’m going to go get a drink. Do you want anything? (Take a momentary break to get a hold of yourself)

What is your opinion of this system? have you ever played it?
Played Dresden files. Honestly, FATE is just a ridiculous boring system. It encourages you to improvise as a player and use your player's stories as hooks as a DM, but nothing amounts to much more than a +2 here or a -2 there.
I think the 2nd edition CofD games have hit the right formula for story informing mechanics and play.
>>46333974
I've played it.
I like it.
A lot of people don't seem to enjoy it, though. There is a bit more emphasis on the players creating content for the game, through choosing interesting aspects to creating interesting situations with activating aspects. A large number of players seem to be playing RPGs like D&D with a Killer DM, and so remain cautious all the time and avoid taking initiative; Fate is far better at letting players have the chance to run around and do their own thing (mostly).
I've enjoyed the ability to craft my own aspects (and skills, in previous versions) and to make a character that really can do what I'd like to see, as opposed to working out what the most effective character the system will generate around a particular idea.
I like it.
The combat really does have something to be desired but Ive always preferred games that were RP and Investigation heavy.
As for FATE Accelerated. The "stats" are vague and can be made to mean anything.
.
But ive found tweaking the names a bit into a "homebrew" version works wonders for one shot games of various genres.
I once ran a pretty successful Heist one shot game using FATE Acc.

>What happened last thread?
You and Desiderius went back to the shop, where Otto walked in. You asked him about the smuggler rumours. His response told you enough, and he left somewhat angrily. After the Otto confrontation, Desiderius mentioned that he was going to look for some blacksmiths to buy weapons from. You decided to go to Father Federico to pick up Edward, and maybe have a conversation with the priest. Surprisingly, Father Federico pledged himself to your cause of toppling the Orsani family. Thanks to William, you now also know where Edward is from, and who he is.
>7th of August, 1095
Your day starts off as any other, although your mind is a lot busier. You’ve always had the tendency to think in webs, and currently, you were making a web with everything and anything related to the Orsani family. They traded in arms and tools, which you were just getting started in. To take them over would not only solidify you as a patrician, but it would skyrocket your profits. Ofcourse, there were still other families trading in arms & tools.
After breakfast, you send Edward off to Father Federico. Today was going to be eventful, that much you anticipated. There were a couple of places you absolutely had to visit; the shop and warehouse. However, if you were going to start with the takeover today, you’d also need to commission banners, flags and a new surcoat for William. You’d need to commission a coat of arms, as well. A shave wouldn’t be bad either, but that could wait for a while.
Opening the door to your little house, you glance back at the stone structure. If only you had a mansion again.

What's the critical failure with the most sever consequences you've ever experienced in any tabletop roleplaying game?
>>46329982
Well one of my players (a lvl 6 figther) got killed by a single ghoul since he got a nat 1 on the save against paralysis and proceeded to get coup-de-graced by said ghoul for an instant kill ( he botched the save against that aswell)
Player crit failed a reflex save (-1 mod and rolled a 1) and fell into the pit trap. The party tried to get him out in the middle of combat and suffered a few serious attacks of opportunity and died shortly after. The TPK really sucked but we made new characters and played as people in an adjacent country, eventually coming upon the place where our other PCs died.
An attempt to land a plane on an aircraft carrier in a GURPS game focusing on air combat. First was a failure by five degrees. DM proceed to let me try and bring the plane up to try another pass, critical failure on that one resulted in death by ball of fire.
What are some must-reads for fa/tg/uys? I mean, besides LoTR, Neuromancer, and other staples. Any more obscure things you dudes could recommend?
Also general /tg/ literature thread.
You can take the recommendations in the 5e Player's handbook without regret, since they're all Fantasy staples that form a pretty decent base for a "required" reading list.
If you haven't read the Dying Earth series and the Lyonesse Trilogy, and just about anything else from Jack Vance you can get your hands on, do so now.
Zelazny should also be on everyone's shelf. Lord of Light deserves a special mention, as does the Corwin series of the Chronicles of Amber.
Fritz Leiber's Swords series, Howard's Conan books, and Moorcocks's Elric saga are all fundamental works that can be described as essentials.
These are really the basics, but literally any good book can be scoured for ideas. Fleming's Bond novels are fantastic adventure stories, and it's also essential to have a background in mythology and history, which makes textbooks sometimes dry but rather useful reading.

Why do we hate it again?
I don't hate it. I'm just not that into shonen serious-drama-about-powerlevels-stuff.
Mostly for being unbalanced and having wonky scaling.
"We" don't. Most of /tg/ sees it in either a neutral or positive light.
There are, however, three dedicated shitposters who get triggered whenever it gets mentioned, because it's too popular for their tastes.

Another day, another strange situation straight out of a video game. Or rather straight IN a video game...
The Cat's Sprite Form dangles a finger over our perfectly square body. "Oh my..." She muses curiously. "Which side do you talk out of?" She says poking at our sides.
We honestly don't know.
"Hey cut it out. I'm sensitive about my angles." We joke. "You don't know how hard I have to work to keep this svelte quadrilateral shape!"
"Pretty confident for a little pixel that was just a duck-dragon's lunch." She says with a wry grin spreading over her ebony face. The light of the digital world glows strangely on the edged lines of face. Its a very flat and very angular face like a model form a 90's video game.
Her smirk broadens to a wide, sharp-tooth filled smile. Her teeth are perfect and sharp like steel knives. "I swear. You're like some sort of stupid kitten that keeps falling down and tripping over itself and yet still thinks it can hunt on its own, you know that?"
We're going to have to school her in a VR fight later. For the sake of our pride.
"Well there's the door." The Cat motions again to a glowing pixel a few yards off. "Run back to your bird. She's worried about you. I have prey to hunt."
SAY/DO?
DO WE STAY OR DO WE PUNCH OUT?
>>46392324
Stay, no way are we letting this guy go.
>>46392324
stay, we have to hunt rogue vampires even when they are INSIDE a computer.
>>46392324
Stay, it's our job after all.

Where did the idea of wizards using staffs even come from? Moses? Did Merlin use a staff? Sure wisemen and shit had them but at what point were staff carrying old men associated specifically with wizards and magic?
>>46391619
Probably Odin, which inspired Gandalf, which inspired the arhcetypical D&D wizard.
>>46391619
I always thought of staffs as being giant wands and seeing as you see old men with walking sticks, it was a no brainer that the magical staff came into being for wizards.

A special state of emergency has been declared today at 12:30. The civilian evacuation process is underway. Roughly 65% of the population has safely reached their designated district shelter.
All hands to battle stations! This is not a drill, I repeat: this is not a drill.
Ah Major, you're finally here.
The third angel has arrived. Our reports indicate that the target is steadily advancing through RURAL AREA 01. It is roughly 20 miles away from HQ.
Both of our units have already been deployed.
[Computer Technician] We have our first image of the Angel! She looks scary...
[Computer Technician] Belay that remark, I suck cocks.
