It is the Year of our Lord, 1135
You are Mathilde, sister to Wilhelm, the Lord of Ramla.
On your brother's behest you have travelled to Jerusalem to argue for the release of your bastard half-brother, Hugo, charged with abducting a royal princess. In that time you have found yourself placed into the household of Queen Melisende as a personal handmaiden, made the acquaintance of her husband, Fulk of Anjou, and been beset by men intending to win your hand in marriage.
As sister to the most prominent bachelor in the Holy Land, you feel you must be a much valued commodity, and though an arrangement has been made to see you betrothed to the heir of Galilee, it is not a match that excites you.
So even though your task is the safe deliverance of your half-brother from execution, you can't help but enjoy a little the flustered young men who approached you only to be driven back by the stone faced, one-eyed visage of your bodyguard Bayard. One young man in the colours of Tripoli tried to duck around him and horse-faced Bayard had to physically haul him back by the ruff of his tunic.
"Try that again and you lose your side teeth," he said, slapping the boy light on the cheek.
"Go easy Bayard," you said, putting a hand to his arm as he walked you through the court.
It seemed more a festival than a trial, and come recently were dignitaries from Antioch itself. A middle-aged priest in heavy vestments with a pair of knights, spoke with Count Hugh and his young, exotic wife. Hugh saw you looking and smiled fondly.
But you looked past that Antioch procession to a pair of men behind them. Sour faced and sweating Orlando ran fingers across his scarred lip, as Sir Hector leaned back in the shadows. Both your brother's men, come from Antioch with the representatives. Your heart skipped a beat at the sight of handsome and quiet Hector, and you feared a moment, for he was no true knight and if his falsehood were discovered he'd be in far worse a state than your bastard-brother Hugo.
Still though, the young Jew set forward with a small grin at the sight of you, eyes coming to light, ignoring whatever mutterings were consuming his frail, blond friend. You only nodded coolly in reply. A young lady could not show excessive favour at court lest rumours start.

Known Character Info: http://pastebin.com/mP36hnjY
You are Tom Gainer, a recently registered Class 5 Super and, as of a last evening, a volunteer Cape aiming to remove the notorious, and highly dangerous Odinsons Motorcycle Club from Downtown Crimson Beach. You have met two new allies in this venture: another volunteer Super known as Grey Knight and a Union Cape named Tiffany Cooke aka Cicada Killer. The latter of whom has given you her number.
It is the next day and Jim informs you that he will be busy most of today with his actual job as a construction worker and advises you that you should probably be looking for work as well. After all, volunteer Capes don't actually get paid, unlike their professional counter parts.
Alternately, you think, you could scout out the local Super talent at Platinum Towers and see who else might be willing (or crazy enough) to join up with you and Grey Knight in taking down the Odinsons. Thinking of GK, you pull his card out of the pocket of your ratty and weathered jeans. You might also give him a call and see what he has to say about this whole mess.
Alternately again, you could give Cicada Killer a call and see what she is up to. After your little... interview, you feel she might like a follow up to it... maybe over some coffee.
OR! You could go out and actually get some new clothes. You've been wearing the same three outfits for six months and they're starting to fall apart. Plus, with your nicely trimmed beard, you think you could do with a matching haircut.

>The king is always accompanied by this big dude in armor that covers his whole body.
>The kings father, and his father, and all their fathers as far back as anyone can remember have been accompanied by someone wearing this armor.
>The very first dude added a mask to the armor after he failed to protect his liege from a vampire or lich or demon or some shit.
>It's generally assumed that when the old bodyguard gets too old he passes the armor on to his son or apprentice or whatever.
>Whatever the fuck killed the king that one time comes back, gets into a heated battle with the bodyguard.
>After a particularly vicious blow, part of the armor gets damaged.
>There's nothing but bones beneath.
>"REMEMBER ME, MOTHER FUCKER?!" The Bodyguard roars. "BECAUSE I REMEMBER YOU CLEAR AS DAY!"
Saw this mask in another thread and was inspired. Heroic Undead thread, I guess?
>>46209718
was this a change from that thread about the guard protecting the vampire princess on the way to the temple from a crowd?
it all sounds very familar
>>46209718
Hey, it's that YouTube guy.
What would make /tg/ watch a live gaming stream? Or even a YouTube recording?
Trials/how to play's of new games/old classics/obscure specialist games?
Impressive roleplaying? Wacky hijinks? Good jokes?
Impressive knowledge of rules/System mastery?
Convenient streaming time?
Familiar faces? Star power?
Nothing? Perhaps this is a fading trend.
Audio actual plays have far more versatility. I listen to them coming to and going to work.
For videos, there needs to be some sort of involvement, but not too much. I don't want to watch sweaty nerds from one angle for 7 hours, nor do I want a lecture explaining every mechanic to me in detail. Assume the audience has a basic familiarity, but also try to keep it exciting for the viewer.
>>46209876
You think better streams are the ones done remotely? Not just a camera dry-ly recording the slow movements of game pieces on a mat?
You may have something there.
I think meatspace games are better for story, but not for viewing.
>You are one of three characters: Samson, a spoiled bard, Dyrus, an axe-wielding rebel's son, or Rene, an orphan adopted by a high-ranking Director of an ominous empire, now a prepromoted archer-lancer. POV will rotate between them on a thread-by-thread basis, with an off-chance that someone else might occasionally take a chapter.
>These protagonists' motivations and goals will very likely come into conflict with one another's.
>Character Death is always a possibility and sometimes an inevitability (this is Fire Emblem after all), but your actions can very easily influence who lives and who dies.

As Rene's father laments the failure of his underlings to capture a certain smuggler, she drifts out of focus for the next step in this three-hero tale. She, her sister, and the rest have an otherwise-uneventful boat ride to take, as Alfred eludes capture and swerves around Gerxel fleets with his very, very fast boat loaded with Wyvern-slaying Wyrmite.
Young Sir Dyrus, accompanied by his grandfather, maid, and some other assorted retainers, approaches the capital of Noba, a city in the Eastern end of the nation known as August's Reach. He has been informed that King Augustus prefers those who speak their mind, but also asked to let Sir Darren handle speaking on behalf of Hauteclere's rebellion.
Samson, in a slightly earlier point in history, has another seemingly-uneventful day in Holmstead. None concerned about the impending invasion, he goes about his day as any performer and scholar would. As for what this means, however, that is to be said in a moment.
Which of the latter two young men will be addressed first?
>A. Dyrus
>B. Samson

Dunno if anyone here LARPs seriously, but I want a suit of armor approximating this one for burning man
What ballpark am I looking at for price? I'm willing to cut corners if it means saving a lot of $
I would personally say three to five thousand if you want a whole set of decent fitted plate, I might be off by a bit doe.
>>46208316
well that's a lot of fucking money
>>46208337
What do you expect, a full suit of armor was one fourth of what it took to be the biggest badass at the beach for roughly 5 centuries.
They're expensive.

"What kind of big company?" Derrick asks.
"Gimme a second" Ilica replies.
"Maybe they're friendly" You say.
"If you think that, you should go give whatever it is a big hug" Ilica says.
"Yuu, give her a minute please" Emi says.
"Kay" You reply.
Ilica shuts her eyes, and her ears continue to move about. After a few seconds of listening, she raises a hand.
"That way. Doesn't sound huge, but it's getting closer very quickly" She says.
"Tastess like blood..." Emi says. You turn to see her sniffing the air, and every couple of seconds her little forked tongue flicks out.
Hang on, she has a normal tongue. You've seen it when she talks. Does Emi have a second little tongue in her mouth?
"6 legs" Ilica says.
"Can we outrun it?" Derrick asks.
You see something on her face. It's only there for a moment, but it looked like she was afraid.
"I don't know" Ilica says.

It finally happened /tg/. Demons/zombies/orcs/mutants/aliens are overrunning your position, the so-called "hero" turned against you and your "friends" abandoned you. Things are looking bleak.
But, as you lie dying, a strange being appears and offers you unrivaled power to survive and enact your revenge. This is your chance to become a Dark Lord.
So, what will it be? Black magic? Demon Magic? Necromancy? Unrivaled swordsmanship? Something else all together?
Also, how will you go about your revenge, how do you plan to get back against those who turned against you, slighted you? Do you become an emotionless husk, driven only by hatred and wrath? Do you try to stay good? Do you become an evil overlord, who rules over those pityful mortals with an iron fist?
>>46207401
Demonic pacts and just general magic assholishery. Id focus on completing my original goals while being a ass to those that betrayed me.
>>46207401
Give him the finger, I'm not taking some pansy ass' power. I either die here, or I don't and come back on my own to fuck the "hero" up. It's not MY vengeance if I use some other bitch nigga to get it.
>>46207401
Obviously, since I must kill Demons, necromancy would be a good way to go.
((OP can't think of another name edition.))
The world is in disparate disarray; kingdoms come and go as the flow of the river, tribes and city-states are there one day, and gone the next...
But that does not mean there is no hope left for the allied races. Elf, man, and orc now stand together, beating back the tide of angelic, demonic, and otherwise otherworldly foes day by day, held aloft in ancient fortress and stronghold alike, barely eking out survival days at a time.
And you are only one among many. A face in the crowd, as it were. But, what do you stand as?
> Elf
Diviners and oracles fill their ranks. Most notably, they were able to scribe the future upon the skins of their brethren, each having a different story yet untold. You possess no such markings.
> Human
Once able to call upon the divine magics of their god and its servants, they now fight against that which once brought them hope. Now, they draw their magics from the areas surrounding them, in a sense replicating the Geomancy of old...
> Orc
What used to be the nomadic sorcerer tribes that wandered northern forests have taken refuge with man and mer. They formerly called upon what were thought to be demonic arts of evocation and abjuration -- suspicions proved wrong when they continued to be effective on angel and demon alike.

Warhammer Stuff seems popular.
Our DM might run Numenera at our next meet up.
What are the rest of us in the group in for?
>>46205179
Oh, I would numera her all right.
>>46205179
>What are the rest of us in the group in for?
Fifty pounds of tits and ass.
Also generic dungeon crawling that posits itself as revolutionary but is really just more of the same shit.
>>46205179
>Numenera
I've never played it, but looking just at the site it seems pretty damn pretentious.
>In short, Numenera’s game engine elegantly keeps the focus on story and action, without sacrificing structure or mechanical detail.
Excuse me if I don't believe you, Mister Cook.
Here's a little something for you /tg/.
Say Games Workshop is completely bought out by a anime company and they decide to make 40k into a anime that ends up becoming very popular.
The anime would have amazing fight scenes with some damn good gore, imagine Berserk if it took a line of 40kocaine.
However, the lore has either been rebooted or thrown at the window so it could focus more on the fight scenes. However, it has shit like a Ork Warboss dropping a Battle Wagon on someone Dio style.
Would you be okay with this? Furthermore would you watch?
anime is for retards and poofters
>>46204043
I'm all for some quality anime, and I'd probably be okay with the thing itself, however I would vastly prefer the current state of things rather than what was proposed.
>>46204143
This is how you ID a namefag, people. Shitposting and nothing towards the subject of the OP.
>>46204053
Good day to you too, Mr. Fedora.
>>46204043
That actually seems plausible if the works is approaching Berserk, with the silly crap being saved for the Orks.
Just remember, The Eldar are more weeb than the Tau. I mean Shuriken rifles? Katanas?
All the Tau got are giant robots and that's it!
"Hic"
"yoou know. Thish stuff's kinda strong." You can feel yourself getting dizzy. And you need to stop slurring your words.
"Wimp." She's just as drunk as you are but, in her usual display of stoic determination, she's not swaying like a flag in a light breeze. "You just can' handle your alcohol. And I thought pirates spent their days drinking grog. What're you gonna do when your crew out-drinks you oh mighty Captain"
"Shut it Wren." You take the time to focus on not slurring your words, and decide that sitting down on the bench you dragged down to make Wren's den more comfortable would be a stupendous idea. "Besides, grog is watered down booze, this is what, 80 proof?"
"70. But I'm still right. If you can't out drink me, how're you gooing to out drink an 'sperianced sailor?"
She's letting her words get sloppy. There is no way that she's not as dizzy as you.
"Wrenn. Sit doown. Your gonn' fall."
"Weakling" She accedes the point anyway and flops down next to you, just a little closer than usual. Her scars glint slightly in the light, guiding your eyes along her jaw, and along her cheeks to her oak brown nose, slightly flat, hinting that she's not just a short elf. As she leans her back against your shoulder her eyes close, and you see just a hint of a smile cross her lips.
"I don't need to out drink them" her shoulder-length hair is tickling your nose "I just need to out drink you. You'll do the rest."
"You couldn't out drink me if you cheated!"
"Oh yeah? how about another drink?"
"Here's a better idea. How about a competition. Loser has to kiss the winner!"
You feel the blush spreading up from your chest. There's a moment in here somewhere.
"You don't have to beat me to get me to do that..."
Your lips meet, for just the briefest moment, in an upside down kiss that gives you a wonderful view of her chest.
" I... Alright. Winner gets a favour to hold at a later date."
"You're on!"

How are options two and three meant? Metaphysical shit? In character discussions? If so, between whom?
Also, your writing's looking good today. Better then the last couple of time's, to be frank. 's nice.

More slice of life. Basically stuff that happened in the past. I haven't written it up yet, but I can be speedy. I have more caffeine in me than... Uh... I can't find a good analogy.
It is? I found a way to get 4-chan to accept my spacing, but otherwise, that was just as rushed as any of my other posts...
