Did you come back to figure out what the fuck was going on?

This is objectively the best d4.

Dear /tg/, please help me come up with some martial schools and societies for a low-fantasy not-China setting.

Alrighty lads.
I have been reading up on this somewhat fun novel and I think it is an awesome setting. Magic, level-ups, waifus etc. It checks all of my requirements of an interesting setting.
So I come to you in my hour of need. How can you make characters in this universe? How would you deal with the rank-ups? And if you were to include that cool devour ability, how would you allow it to work?
Other than that.. Re:Monster thread/setting/rules thread?
really? I am the only one who has read (some of) this?
>>46039380
If your criteria for an interesting setting is "waifus" and meta bullshit, then I do not value your opinions or your taste in writing.
>>46040532
that was more for an eye-catcher. I just like the idea of beings battling and then evolving. It is like fantasy pokemon

What is your all time favorite system? I'm not talking about the best, or most fluid-- what is the system that you consistently have the most fun with?
I remember when that picture was mildly amusing, and not just a banner for the worst kind of faggots to wave. It's kind of gross when people on /tg/ try to emulate people on /r9k/.
I almost feel sorry for the picture, because there's nothing wrong with it, only that it was chosen by a group of fags as their choice for mindless spamming.
Exalted 3E, though a large part of it is a deep love of the setting. I enjoy the mechanics, but teaching them to others is an absolute nightmare.
I'm not a weeaboo, but I absolutely love samurai stories, so my answer is Legend of the Five Rings. You just have to avoid the people who take it autist level of serious and it's great.
The mechanics are solid but simple, the lore is exceptionally plentiful, the character possibilities are giant, and all the plots the gm can have are limited only by his cunning.

Some kind of strength-focused monk, but only in a system where monks aren't garbage. Dude's got some strong abilities:

I often worry in roleplaying games, that I stay "in-character" too much. By this, I mean I enjoy playing flawed characters, who can and will make choices that anyone with out-of-game-knowledge (or even the cool and balanced perspective of an outside view) can clearly see are bad choices... but I do it anyway, because it feels "right" for the character in these situations.
Now... this would be fine if I were a writing a book or something, but in the confines of a group-based roleplaying game, I'm constantly fearing that having my characters make...

I can definitely identify with that. There is a fine line between 'my-guy-isms' and staying in character. A way to help that is to try to reduce (not eliminate) the amount of stupid things the character does. Early in the campaign it can make for some entertaining moments and good laughs, but the farther you go in your adventuring career the less likely such things should happen. To use your werewolf mauling incident as an example, it might be a good idea to have a better reaction if something like that happens again, or perhaps your character might realize this is an issue and could ask the party to help him get used to such things once everything has calmed down. Being in character and being stupid works well, but it just becomes a damper on the whole game if there is no growth out of it. If you're not sure how your character could grow out of one of their bad decisions, perhaps talk to the rest of the group about it afterward in a pre- or post-session chat sometime. Then at the very least your table will understand you're not just falling to 'my-guy-itus' but you're just playing your character as well as you can.
Just make sure if your character ever goes full retard and you go along for the ride that you have a really good reason to do so, and preferably do it in a really big way so we can all enjoy the storytime later.

Can you get into details? I don't really have the frame of reference of that Order of the Stick character.
What does /tg/ think of Trudvang? Has anyone here played it? And Trudvang General thread, cause that would be cool.
For those who don't know, Trudvang is a Swedish RPG campaign setting. It recently got a translation, but it's a weird form. You basically buy an app version of the core books for your computer, with built in chat and character builders. Find it here: https://online.riotminds.com/trudvang_chronicles_game
The world is basically a super Norse world with an awesome art style and a rich lore.

Bright white flares descend gently towards the churning smoke and raging fires that spread across the black surface of Sunda Strait. Somewhere in that carnage are your assets - your comrades in arms, your girls and your best friend - and you can't be sure where they are.

You glance at the tactical plot - and see Naresuan is flagrantly disobeying orders; turning eastward to link up with Sendai and Jintsuu, who've just come into visual range of the fray. You cede to the inevitable - they're determined to fight their ships to the last, at least while there's friendlies on the field. You switch frequencies. “Hate, you hear me?”
“HELLLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!” Hate damn near yodels into his radio, his voice quavering like he's riding a school bus hitting bumps. “HOLY SHIT SKIPPER DID YOU SEE-”
“I did,” you confirm as the ops personnel kindly redirect a camera to find Hate's PT squadron; the full-sized boats weaving and winding as their triple aero engines scream through the mist and smoke, circling Naka and Harder like wary dogs. The abyssal cruisers are lost somewhere beneath a thick smokescreen they've been laying for long minutes now - you suspect they deployed smoke floats at some point. It's fairly opaque even to infa-red; but it seems what's left of them have decided to turtle.
The Indonesian F-16 pilots are still making their runs, their FACs screaming in almost suicidally low as pom-pom's probe for them amidst the nasty black puffs of flak bursts. They're firing phosphorus rockets, nailing their targets directly from almost point-blank range before screaming overhead and climbing away on full afterburner, the shock-diamonds in their exhaust vivid against the dark sky. The strike craft, their Kedge's spent, are circling overhead.
The tactical plot updates - new little blue circles.
“Who's that?” you demand.
“Malaysian Hawks,” Ops replies. “They're slinging iron bombs.”

Is this game any good? I've heard that it's basically WFRP but better.

I've heard that it's basically WFRP but worse.
Who's right? Who knows. This is the internets, not a scientific survey.
Hell, I could be talking to myself here, I dunno.
>>46035763
That is interesting. Game is not very popular so It's hard to find decent opinions. RPG.net gave it two 9/10 but these retards can't be trusted. It has 8 votes on RPG geek, and 7 on Amazon. I don't really know any other places where I could find good RPG-related opinions.
It's basically WFRP but D&D. The setting is generally worse, a bit heavier on the puerile humor. It has some cool playable races like the clockwork dudes.
I like how you can hang any combination of classes on the basic advancement scheme and they'll all give you some neat abilities. I don't like how it's heavily biased towards magic if you want a decent selection of neat abilities, and I REALLY don't like how some extremely basic build-defining abilities are gated behind Expert and Master Paths, so you need to be level 6 or 7 (out of 10) to...
