Kind of? I made these guys as a mascot race for a lighthearted adventure game and my players fell in love with them.

They have no depth, backstory, or real purpose but they're cute and keep the atmosphere pretty cheery. I have a bad habit of coming up with ideas for races and never bothering to fluff them out. Might share more if the thread survives.

Also I like these threads so here's a resurrection.

Sometimes thats the best things, some things are better without background or a deep lore, just are they way it are

>>46182316
Those are pretty cute.
Are they some sort of plant people? If so, is that a helmet or a pot?

>>46181249
sometimes simple is better. I pretty much take elves, dwarves and stuff and add a couple of interesting twists and quirks.

Updated the OP to incorporate the other Anon’s suggestions and points. I didn’t see much point in showing it until it was time for a new thread.

Tough to say, given that's the entire card pool, but looking at San San, nothing's really standing out except Tech Trader making Geist lodsofemone,

MCC might be a good Worlds Plaza candidate in a glacier deck - have the usual "scoring" server have Worlds with MCC and some other stuff - maybe Capital Investors? - and just score on a turn.

Oh, and Net Chips + Collective Conciousness + Faust being scary as fuck, for new cards making old cards good

the straight-man

hear me out on this!

In most fantasy RPG's sorcerrors are distinguished by not having to study magic to use it, they were born with the innate ability to cast spells.

So it stands to reason that perhaps prior to their abilities manifesting, the sorcerer might have lead a largely normal and mundane life up until that point.

so consider someone growing up in some out-of-the-way corner of the...

There are all kinds of things to do that are interesting, and I guess a lot of them vary by your inhuman bloodline. Whatever your bloodline is, though, one thing I like to do is have the inhuman ancestor be not all that far back-- like, close enough that the sorcerer probably knows them personally. And they just don't get it when other people find that weird.

>Dragonslaying? Well, I guess. I mean, that seems kind of weird-- what if it was Great-Grampa Inferniax, you know? What if it was one of his clutchmates, or a friend? I'm just not sure I'm comfortable with this.

Is there a way playing traditional games would be unhealthy?

I've pulled some rough all-nighters before, but the only way I can see a game being unhealthy is if it ends up causing too much stress. And the prescription for that would be to play different traditional games, not fewer.

I don't think that's physically possible at this point.

Lead a pro-Imperial coup.

Logar also attempted to rebuild what was broken.

That was the Emperor's main problem with him, It's only cool when Guilliman does it.

>>46179324
huehue well the idea is to analyse the state of planets after imperial conquest depending on the legion that did invading

There isn't too much. But, accept that your players won't know a major part of it

>>46177653
Build as much as you need. Unless you're literally playing with touhoufag your average player is in it for the experience, not your setting consistency.

I don't know, but my gut says 'maybe'.

I prefer Unaligned.

You don't. They're entities, not creatures. It's like trying to stat a cactus or a house or Earth; pointless.

Wellll

It's okay I guess

Prolly not as good as howling mine itself

The decks that want howling mine care more about the mana cost than the chance to ping your opponent

>>46174894
it's not supposed to be howling mine
it's supposed to be howling mine AND owl, together
i could see a cheapo UR tempo deck coming together around this, with the madness unsummon and other tricky tricks

It seems ok, big things are that it gives you the card almost straight away, and the opponent can't use their one for a whole round unless they both leave mana open and draw an instant.

Also offers some damage against slow decks but is pretty much just as awful against an aggresive deck as this effect usually it seems, it's alright, more playable than the effect usually is.

I'd agree with this, the card, if it did see play would probably be in something like that, by the time the opponent...

Why even use orcs at all?

>>46174560
They would not be directly orcs, more like an alliance
of evil creatures, exiled men and wild tribes,

but they would act like a band of orcs

>>46174598
No, they would act like a marauder horde. There is nothing new about orc society beyond that.

Prior to the industrial era? Yes. There was also a thin line between science and religion

>>46173713
Same fagging myself because I just remembered, in fact pseudo-science and magic science lasted well into the 19th century, especially due to the occultist movement. Harry Houdini was a famous skeptic who went around exposing sham pyschics and mediums and shit as a personal quest.

I found the correspondence between Galileo and his daughter made a fascinating read on that matter.

Or the problems of Leibnitz trying to reconcile his research and his faith.

“Chikashi, what the hell are you doing here?” You exclaim.

He laughs, bitter and cold. “I don’t know. I really don’t know. I supposed to be asleep in bed, but now I’m here. Man, this place sucks. It’s a total dump. Not even my apartment was as bad as this.”

“What are you talking about?” You ask, now even more perplexed. “Hey, are you even listening.”

Chikashi then yanks his head back, his eyes streaked with blood. When did they become like that? Tears have gathered from his sheer mirth.

“Did you know, Takashi? When I was a kid, I wanted to become a pro Persona duelist. I used to fantasize about what Persona I would get when I grew up. I wanted something cool like the heroes Take-Minakata or Okuninushi. I would watch all the matches and ask my mom to record the ones that played at night. Boy, I was a stupid little shit back then.
