Quick, think of your all-time favorite character that you have actually played, or are currently playing.
Got them in mind?Could they defeat Artorias of the Abyss, assuming they were well and truly trapped in a room with him?

I find that the majority of these situations are answered by "what system am I using" rather than "how powerful/skilled in my character".
90% of all of these result with Exalted players laughing at how easily they beat everything forever, and the only times anyone is ever "at risk" is when they are using low-power shit, usually d20 shit.
It's like, why bother? Most characters would be able to beat probably anything you threw at them as long as it was a conceivable...

Can a level 365 Cleric of Pelor beat the shit out of him?
Yeah,thought so

Whenever someone says "Can character from universe X defeat Universe Y," I think, well, that would be up to whoever writes the story. And to answer that question, I consider a followup - Given two authors, which could beat up the other? They will write the story and have their character win.
For example, if someone asks who would win between Conan and Cthulhu, I would say Conan easily, because Robert E. Howard was a trained pugilist and could totally destroy the sickly Lovecraft, then go on and...

How do we fix wilderness encounter tables /tg/?
In theory it should provide atmosphere and emphasize that you're traveling through uncharted dangerous territory. In practice, the fights provide little more than speed bumps, a steady trickle of XP for no reason, and sometimes an incredibly powerful enemy that will more likely than not TPK.
How do you implement random encounters so that they do something useful?
>>46282508
It's really up to you to introduce and use whatever they're going to encounter as organically as possible and construct the atmosphere. It's also up to you to reroll every now and then.
>>46282576
Well, just to be a little more clear.
I'm trying to figure out how to make wilderness encounters more akin to open world wandering monsters.
Wandering monsters keep the party moving, and provide a steady drain of resources, encouraging the players to move quickly through a dungeon.
I want the open world random encounters to do something similar, motivating the players to try to move through the wilderness as quickly as possible, rather than just being a recurring annoyance.
>>46282642
Set up hunting trails, they run into far more beasts there. Watering holes, cover, places to sleep. You really would need maps to concentrate beasts in areas where beasts would be naturally.
You could use literal Beastmen from WHFB, it'd serve your purposes well.
The orcs are now fully incorporated into the flood
What do?
Nothing changes, really, unless you mean orks, in which case nothing changes, really.
I read that as "the orcs are now fully incorporated into the floor"
Need to watch where I step from now on
>implying the Flood could stop da Orks
>Try to give my players some cool fights they have been asking for.
>Every time an enemy seems strong they are too scared to act.
Why?
Throw enemies that look weak but are unexpectedly strong at them.
>>46282223
Paranoia about screwing up and RNG, probably. It's kinda a common fear, at least in groups I've played with.

Giant babies obviously want to wade through enemies like grass. Tell them to fuck off back to Dynasty Warriors
Civ thread For the Dragon Race:
There have been stories throughout the land about the mythical beasts known as Dragons. But nothing has been seen of your kin except odd bones and tapestries on castle walls. But deep within the forrest within a cave, you hatch from your eggs. As you slowly open your eyes, you look down at your scales:
Roll for scale color (This game is based on D&D 3.5 dragon races)
Rolled 3 (1d20)

/thread
A combination of Mario Party and Magicka
a game where you have the intensive to screw other players over as hard and as often as possible.
As far as the peasants know, dragons, liches, and beasts alike are just myths and legends. This is because the king places heavy funding into an elite team of monster hunters, who's job is to keep the public safe and ignorant. Their deeds are written down on in a record known as "The X Scrolls".

The show was basically character drama interspersed with "X is real, Scully!" "No it's not, Mulder!" [Both see proof X is real] "I told you, Scully!" "I still have doubts!"
But generally speaking I don't see why it couldn't work.
>>46279159
The thing people forget about the X-Files is it wasn't some sort of Delta Green-style division meant to hide things from the ignorant masses.
It was just an office full of crank files they stuck Mulder in because he's an annoying creep who can't shut up about aliens and JFK.
If you really want to keep to the spirit of the show, have the PCs be investigators who look into otherwise mundane cases with a couple pieces of the puzzle missing. Nobody expects them to be paranormal except...

Did they ever release any /tg/-related Avatar stuff like a RPG, cards or miniatures ?
>>46278431
>That OC
Literally just AirBane's crony but as a GOOD GUY?!
To answer your question, OP, officially there is none. Most Avatar merch is a couple action figures, posters, and a bunch of sequel/interquel comics written by ambitious hacks eager to turn their fanfiction into canon.
I know there's a fanmade RPG. Someone also modified Pathfinder for it. My personal recommendation for Avatar campaigns is Fate.
>>46278431
There was a TCG of the original series as part of the QuickStrike rules. Never really went anywhere, despite interesting game mechanics.

Any info on how to run these kinds of games? I've always wanted to learn, but i've run across surprisingly little info on how to actually play.
Bump?

Try asking on civ general thread. From what I've, the first three votes for the race and environment are the ones you run. As QM, you build the story, give us choices, call for a roll (1d100,2d20 and so on) to decide if the action is successful or not and it will snowball from there.
>>>46274522
On saturdays there is a Civ General, where the Civ runners gather to talk about running Civs. Sometimes the threads bump up during the week as well.
Lurking more is always advisable, but the games come down to the CM controlling the gameworld while players guide the development of a civilization using collective decision making, with the CM converting their inputs into outcomes based on whatever system they are doing. Games usually follow a course of discovery and development interlaced with problems and conflict common to the history of civilizations.
Games typically...

So what are some of your evil Empire plots? Enslaving populations, turning people into cyborgs. ETC
Angrix just happens to be an Imperial extermination ship. Does bad things to many innocent people.

Finding and raiding Darth Plageus's old labs and studies to find a way to turn normal people into force-sensitives.after the rise of the NR, most force sensitives don't want to join the Sith, who they blame for making them miserable during the shadow of the empire, so they need to find SOME new way of training more apprentices

Dark jedi working on mass mild control techniques so he can have an army of perfectly in-synch clones of himself. This requires experimenting on a lot of innocent people because when cloning dark jedi en mass, you really dont want to fuck that up.
You are the head researcher at a government facility. Your sole responsibility is to teach the world's first autonomous AI, nicknamed Pandora, about life, the world and her existence.
Previously you named Grace as your temporary replacement to take over your duties in your absence, much to her excitement and everyone else's disdain. You also decided that the best idea for when Pandora and Ares meet would be a simple lesson for the both of them, something easy enough for Ares to grasp, but interesting enough to keep Pandora focused. Afterward, you informed Babsy...

Your mind is racing as for what you could do for the date. Thankfully you have a few days to figure it out. Maybe you could even get some advice from someone more experienced? Or just fly by the seat of your pants, you're a smart guy, you created intelligent life.

What's your opinion on games with western settings with a single Japanese country inserted without explanation?
>>46277589
Can you give examples?
The only one I can think of is... Uh...IRL.
>>46277589
Relatively indifferent. If it's a "western setting" then it's already unimaginative shit. Probably has elves, dwarves and orcs and a Romano-Greco style pantheon. In that case might as well throw in Weeabonia as well, because why the fuck not?
>>46277589
Great, because now I can ambush the party/get ambushed by ninjas during a slow moment.

Probably shit that never happened. Probably b8. But if it were real then that is terrible GMing.

We're on /tg/, when has it ever mattered if the story was true?
If this is bait it's pretty bad. The worst I would do for that guy I don't like is combonation of a 1d6 fall damage, can't see because dark, caught in a tree, and party is 120-240 feet away- enjoy the return to the party.
