What if Elves were sexless until adulthood, when they grew whatever genitals they would be best suited for as per their position in their culture?
>>46112708
Given that being a woman is easy mode, why would anyone choose to be a man? You'd have an entirely female society with only a rare few man (like one in tenthousand) which would create such a shortage that elf women would be forced to go out and hun- oh... I see what you're doing!
They could control their demography by adjusting the percentage of females in the next generation.

Wonderful. One post in, and you've successfully shattered the illusion that this has anything to do with traditional games and is instead a thread for idiots to mouth off about their bizarrely inaccurate interpretations of sociology.
How do you guys think the Custodes were, mentally speaking, in 30k? And in 40k, after 10 thousands years of fighting daemons under the Palace, and warp tome dilation not helping, as well as seeing their dear Empy slowly dying? Depressed much?
I've read a few 30k books where there were featured, and they seemed to be pretty human, without the brotherhood feeling of the Astartes, which I expected, but still, apart from their combat prowess, I found them quite underwhelming. It was only in ADB's books though so that might play.
I don't know much, but have a bump picture because it interests me

the kickstarter for the conan rpg is ending soon.
I m tempted cause they have some neat deal like 2year print subscription as well as pdf but i have never dealt with this company "modiphius" before.
Has any of you had any experience with them.
is the 2D20 system ok?
i ve glanced over the quickstart and the doom/momentum system looks pretty nice, even thou the doom system can in case of badGM turn him into an antagonist.
>>46111866
>doom/momentum system
Completely anti-Conan bullshit, the way I hear it from long-time fans. Conan was all about being barbaric and unfettered by civilization's silly rules, and how that let him impose his will on the world with steel and thews. The idea that characters in that world who do that actively give Fate/the GM extra ways to kick them in the nuts is diametrically opposed to How Things Worked in Howard's fiction and universe.
i like the horizontal character progression instead of the vertical minmaxing
the doom momentum isnt an issue the more you dig into your luck the more karma you can get.
I played mutant chronicle 3 and the 2d20 system is ok
i ve looked at the kickstarter and they have a convertion tool for d20 aswell if people want to stick with the D&D system
>>46111866
looks interresting.
Modiphius is a british company, being an infinity player i funded their kickstarter for the infinity rpg
They are competent and keep in touch with their playerbase

"In some derelict village, born and raised
In the theatre is where I spent most of my days,
Chillen out playin' and slayin' all cool,
Rockin some tunes, right by the pool
When a couple of scribes, who were up to no good,
Started making trouble in my neighbourhood
I got in one little play and my audience cheered
They roared "You're getting the fuck out of the village and going to play elsewhere"

What adventure might lurk here?
A few villages, a few remote farms, an occasioal bulette and raised skeleton from a battle long past.
Should such places be shunned by respectful adventurers out to smite evil and pull in a respectable amount of loot?
Wolves after the sheep, shepherds after the wolves, werewolves after the shepherds, and dragons after the werewolves, and adventurers after the dragons.
Adventure for adventure's sake.
Settlers fighting guardian glade spirits.
Two clans fighting for supremacy and hiring adventurers.
Barrow wrights, trolls, sacred animals.
Is it really possible to take down an armoured opponent while being unarmed? I mean, it's possible in games, but in reality, is it really possible?
Also, weapons and combat thread.
>>46111263
The primary method of taking down heavily armored opponents on foot has historically been wrestling followed by coup-de-grace, so it is possible, though probably really hard.
If you meant with kicks and punches though, probably not.
>>46111263
Depends on your definition of "armored" and "unarmed".
If "armored" is chain mail or a leather armor, yes. Mail and other non rigid armors is awful against blunt force and doesn't provide adequate protection to the head.
Also, you did not specify that the armored opponent would be armed, and as such, what you have now is a boxing or kendo match between two people, one with 20 pounds of extra weight on his back, and one without.
Plate mail or a good helmet might protect...

I don't think it's possible to take down an armed and armoured guy with just your hands. He just have more reach than you and will kill you the second you're in range.

Guys I need your advice to help me to meet people to play MTG with IRL.
There are two LGS were they still (everything seems to be Yugioh nowadays) play MTG near where I live, but there are two things...
1) I don't want to get absolutely fucking destroyed by a guy with a netdeck deck worth $1200 in turn 1
and
2) I don't want to get shit on just because a play mostly forfunI have a "semi-competitive" mid range zombie deck (mostly based in innistrad era), I'm open to improvement, but it's just not my priority,...

So let me summarize your post.
The only way to have fun is the way you play and only if you win can you have fun.

By talking to them.

I want to make an animal battle card game, bros.
Not a TCG, but a game that comes complete.
Your creatures could be animals. All the cards could be in a pool that either player can draw from like monopoly money (like 10 or 20 of each or something).
Plants could be your support cards, and weather / environmental shifts could be action cards or scenario cards or something?
Their summoning requirements could be a card based on their natural environment and you need so many cards to place certain creatures based on their Rank. (MAX would be something...

>Durability
Simply health. Damage taken = (Strength of attacker - Endurance of receiver). Animal is sent to the discard pile if it dies. If an animal successfully defeats another, that defeated animals total Durability could be added to the attacker's health or something maybe?
>Strength
Attacking power. Must be a higher number than opponent's Endurance or that animal cannot damage that animal.
>Endurance
How much gets subtracted from your opponent's...

Would the platypus be rank 2 or 6?
>>46109941
Probably 2, but Rank is basically an indicator of how useful an Animal is, and would limit how easily that Animal could be summoned. Like a Platypus-sized animal might only be a Rank 2, but lets say one of its Effects was that it Poisons on contact, then it might have to be bumped up to Rank 3 for balance reasons.

The BBEG's goal is to marry the prince and bare his child, in order to bring about the apocalypse. But she's also genuinely in love with him.
>>46106920
Seems ok. Not a fan of "stop this event or the world ends" sort of campaigns though.
>>46107855
I agree, it could just as easily work out to her just having really evil ideas of how to run the country, and she can't be allowed to become the queen mother.
Would be even more interesting if the Prince also is in love with her, even if he doesn't agree with how she would want the country to be run. So now you have to prevent some weird succession war.
>>46108062
I agree with this. Maybe have the PCs have some reason to want to kill the BBEG besides her being evil, a personal one I mean. That would put them into conflict with the prince who genuinely loves her. But that's a definite 'maybe'.
Have the PCs' objective be to keep the kingdom stable and prevent the BBEG from gaining control. If the prince and BBEG are in a happy relationship, it makes things harder cause the prince wouldn't be willing to break it off. The PCs could have to find some other heir for the kingdom, or end up pulling some crazy shit(like players enjoy doing) and start a revolution to bring down the monarchy, thus making the conflict moot.
I'd say there's a lot of potential here.
'Sup /tg/, I have a thought exercise for you:
We all are familiar with flashbang grenades and what they do, but, based purely on the name, what would a "fleshbang grenade" do?
Being realistic/possible is not necessary.
>>46106686
The Flash instantly bangs you.
>>46106686
It's a sex move where each thrust teleports the couple a few feet in any direction.
User discretion is advised.
>>46106686
>fleshbang grenade
So a normal grenade, then?

RECAP :
The Fauns were once a glorious race of beautiful humanoids with the lower half of a goat, and the upper half of a beautiful man or woman that inhabited the fabled island paradise of Sumyrhall - a place of grand hedonism that was accessible to the Fauns and a select few outsiders deemed worthy of sharing in the otherwordly pleasures of the Faunic Court. Until tragedy struck.

Currently Ri'Ti has employed Leon's children into the newly created "Friends of the Faun", willing servants and bed slaves of the Fauns that feed off of the hedonistic energies of the tribe, solidifying his control over the nobility of the city, and using them has discovered that an abandoned village to the north was actually Dwarven, its inhabitants slaughtered by the Empire.
