Part three of the sometimes slow, sometimes exciting, and sometimes retarded goblin CivQuest. I originally tried to start the campaign earlier in the day, but there weren't enough original players online.

>>45704140 OP, here. I'm gonna get to work on setting everything up. Discuss things amongst yourselves about possible clan locations and housing options based on that. It'll give you something to do while you wait.
Greetings citizen. You've been selected to save the earth from alien attacks and we gladly accept you as a mandatory volunteer to our cause. You'll be taken to our base were you'll be given a assault rifle, pistol, flak jacket and a stun baton. Your job for the time being is to shoot invading alien life forms or preferably stun them so they can be taken back to base and studied.
You turn away from the window and walk back to the couch. Outside, the Moon's energy is already being funneled into the space that will become the Arena.
Say what you will about the gods, they are nothing if not efficient.

Hello everyone. Today we'll be running the last prologue quest to Shattered Realms.

The dim light was leaking through the blinds and into your small office. It was the kind of faint light that barely manages to penetrate the clouds in an overcast day. Stuck in front of your writing machine, you’re trying to assemble a report as accurate as possible of your activities in the past operation. It had been nothing more than a classical infiltration and espionage mission in order to take down a black market circle, however the ringleaders proved to be extremely tenacious. Even when surrounded... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
Caeruleans especially were never fond of the Secret Security Agency. Living in the capital, they enjoyed a lifestyle somewhat more luxurious than the rest of their fellow countrymen, and with wealth came liberalism. You’ve been working on the report for hours now, thinking to yourself that paper work isn’t that bad after all. You’re young, maybe you can still quit the Agency and find yourself another job. A job where people don’t hate you by default. Yeah, that’s what you will do. You will hand... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
You are Ur'shal, Chieftain of the Stonetusk Clan and Warlord of the Wastes. With the shifters dealt with, the jungle to the south has opened up to you considerably. While the large area you have cleared of rivals does grant you more than enough hunting grounds to ensure the survival of your growing clan, it's hard to truly claim that you rule this land. You lack the warriors to hold more than a fraction of the territory, and you are well aware that it's only a matter of time before others notice the power vacuum developing to your south and move to fill it.

/tg/ how do you deal with different species/civilizations levels?
In every single game I've ever played, or hosted its unavoidable that the player starting zone is roughly the same level as the party. And naturally big-bads or tougher opponents will be found at some extreme of the World, or a very deep dungeon or etc..
But this has never made sense to me, surely if these countries or species were literally statistically far superior to another species wouldn't that species be dominant?
So /tg/ how would you go about justifying leveled zones?
>>45699876 >But this has never made sense to me, surely if these countries or species were literally statistically far superior to another species wouldn't that species be dominant? You know how there are swarms of ants that can, between poison bites and sheer numbers, take down elephants?
It's the same thing. For every max level badass there's likely a million or more dudes with access to fire, poison, artillery and more. Skirmish level combat rules collapse in the face... Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
It was supposed to be your honeymoon back at your new wife's home country in Europe.
Here you were together in this plane sharing a kiss, a caress of the cheek, and sweet little nothing's to each other.

Been thinking, what is food like within the Imperial Guard? With all the stuff about Forge World and the makes and origins of Imperial weaponry, is there any lore about how the different parts of the Imperiums armies are fed?
>>45698720 No fucking clue. I imagine the kind of rations the IG get are based on whatever the current campaign conditions and regional supply lines allow. That's the general vibe I get.
I remember reading about something called: "reconstituted reclaimed meat by-product" in a BL novel which was supposed to be that planet's version of SPAM.
Then there was another instance of guardsmen hunting game on a temperate world to supplement their rations.

You tend to avoid visiting the archives very often. You've just been reminded why.
It wasn't the peace and quiet that did it – that was a welcome break from the noisy chatter of the communal dining hall. It wasn't the dry, cool air either – a pleasant change from the warm, ale scented fog that clings to everything inside a tavern. No, it was the awful banshee that shrieked at you, the perverse demon that obsessed over the rare and ancient book you are now staring at.
But you shouldn't complain about her too much, since Howa was able to give you some advice.
Take it to the Mentor, she suggested, and see if he recognises the language. Meanwhile, she'd be working on a translation of her own, since her own curiosity had been aroused. Once she's taken something as an intellectual challenge, that woman is unstoppable. Irritable while the problem remains unsolved, and smug when the problem IS solved, but definitely unstoppable.
As she toils in the archives – you warned her about the thing you saw there, but she waved off your concerns – you're waiting for the Mentor to see you. In your lap, the book in question, an ancient thing written in a language far older than the paper its written on. The book is a curiosity, an anomaly, something that seems to exist in all the wrong ways. That, at least, is what your instincts are telling you.
You trust your instincts, but you trust the Mentor's advice just as much. That is why, as you're shown into the Mentor's chambers and sit at a low table, you push the book across to the old man. Waiting, not quite sure what to expect, he peers down and strokes the leather cover.
“This is old,” he muses, “And you brought it to me... because I am old as well?”
Well, you flounder for a moment, sort of. You figured he might be able to tell you something, anything, about the language used. As you explain, the Mentor lifts the cover of the book, peers into the first page and then lets the cover drop. It falls with a heavy, hollow thump.
“I can tell you nothing,” he says bluntly, “You are correct – I am old. Old enough to forget a lot of things, and to know what things are better left forgotten. Leave this alone, Ira, no good will come of digging any deeper.”
You are silent for a moment as you think his words over. Is that, you ask eventually, an order?
“A suggestion,” the Mentor replies immediately, “Given in good faith. You may decide your own path. Now, excuse me please – I believe we both have business elsewhere.”
Nodding cautiously, you rise and bow slightly before walking out.
>Give the book to Howa and see what she can translate >Return the book to the archives. No good can come of this >Stash the book in your room. You'll decide later >Other
>See those guys charging? A minute from now our marksmen will kill their tribe chief - the guy at the front who keeps the band together by intimidation. Right after that our spears will drop - line after line of optimally armored spearmen. Just as the contact will start, our armored cavalry will flank them. If needed, our officers will take action without consulting the superiors. It's how we trained these men. It's how discipline works. It's why beast will always fall to discipline and order.

Describe a premise for a campaign in one sentence.
I just spent an ungodly amount of time writing out minute details of a campaign, custom items, etc. Got all my players to make characters with detailed setting appropriate backstories, only to realize I kind of hate my setting and running games for it is going to be horrible.
So help me get some creative juices flowing for an idea that doesn't suck /tg/, you're my only hope.
Sci-fi or Fantasy, anything goes.

I'm a beginner at all kinds of RPG, with only a tiny amount of experience with d&d4e, but I wanna learn how to DM. I know a bunch of settings well enough to run a game in it, but my problem is I'm shit with rules and math. Any suggestion for a system that's really simple to learn and run, with few rules and lots of adaptability so I can use it in different settings?
Well, let's see. From your description it seems like your best bet will be FATE. FATE is the only one that I can think of that's both setting agnostic and has social combat rules.
Sets like this encourage players to buy product direct from a FLGS instead of online for singles, since there's a high chance of getting a profit on each pack.
The lower prices greatly diminish the barrier for entry and helps both poorer and new players alike to get into the game.
Pro players understand that the cards are going to get reprinted, but much like technology, they pay extra due to being an early adopter.
The reprinting of so many staples creates a more healthy competitive environment.

It isn't. It's the only redeeming feature of YGO. They could do better, though, and do it like Pokemon. There cards never even get that expensive in the first place.
>>45697039 >There cards never even get that expensive in the first place. This is what retards who dislike printing to fit demand don't get. Yeah it hurts if your cards go from hot shit that'll land you in the pants of the resident fat slob manchildren who play CCGs, but not if they didn't cost fuck-all in the first place
