What would you think of a fantasy setting that resembles the D&D standard, except that within the past 50 years or so it's become the popular fashion for dragons to slum it among humanoids, with some minor magic to get around on two legs and fit into humanoid buildings and so on?
Well unless the dragon population exploded in the past century it'd be extremely rare to even meet one. But if so then it'd be like having a civil house guest, except that if the house guest gets mad or angry you risk having him kill everyone in the neighborhood.
It's a trick, they're after your gold.
Yes, the sovereign under your mattress and the change that fell behind the sofa.
I think it'd make a great fanfic, you should get to writing it. Don't forget to make sure that your self insert has sex with all the dragon ladies.
ITT: We determine once and for all the superior setting for playing games of make-believe.
Depends on the players

Depends on the setting.
Here ye, here ye! I hereby call to order yet another exciting, and important meeting of the world renowned Adventurers Guild! Now, as all of you Initiates are currently aware, today was supposed to mark the start of guilds 227th annual "Dost Thou Even Hoist Competition". Unfortunately, due to a package that was recently delivered by "The Magical Guild of Imprecise Packagers", and what I can only assume to be some kind of prank on the part of the Mages Guild, the guild sub-basement and its subsequent dungeon, is now currently inhabited by a grand total of...

So who exactly signed for these packages, not to mention, how did we not know there was something STILL ALIVE inside!?!
>>45522297
I'd also like to know WHY the Mages Guild keeps fucking us over... I mean seriously!
Also, does anyone know who keeps going into the kitchen and putting dead mice into all of the spice containers? It's getting to the point where I don't even want to use the salt shakers
Fuck you, Gdubs.
-Me.
Bretonnia is deceased.
What is this?
If you supported End Times you supported this
"AVAST, SERPENT!"
Your pistol fires another shot off into the hide of the slithering beast. With your cutlass, you cut clean through its neck.
Yet, just like legends, more heads seem to take the place of the one you just cut off!
You are Jack Albator, handsome adventurer, slayer of monsters, and-
WOH! Hold that thought! You got to concentrate against this serpent right now!
Cody unleashes a fury of wind straight at the monster; the torrent of dust seems to pierce every one of his eyes.
It screeches in a tone that you're fairly...

You didn't even need to tell him, he summons another one of his powerful tornadoes. It grabs the monster and effortlessly tosses it into the pit. The sand and water mixes in the monster's mouth to form a sticky sludge which clings to it.
One of its heads desperately snaps at Dorje. With a disgusting gurgle, the makeshift bog swallows it whole.
"Holy-" Cody's mouth is agape.
"Huh, I didn't even think about that." Dorje seems shocked.
You put your hand on Dorje's head and muss up his white hair.
"Aye,...

Only because we have never seen what she goes through
A foreward about the quest before we start. I intend to keep this short and sweet, not going on for as long as other quests that, while excellent, seem to be going on for an eternity with no end in sight. Furthermore, I don't intent to emulate the games in any mechanical context as a wargame. The games will do a better job than I ever can. Instead, I present a narrative and management aspect that are lacking in the excellent original titles and the new ones, from which the setting of this quest is based on. It will be composed of two parts, being the Commander, and being...

It has been twenty years. You were once a soldier, part of X-Com. Every mission you left the Skyranger with a full complement of troopers, every mission you came back alone. The toll left not only a mark on you but the rest of the project in general. As the combat got worse, the organization started to become more desperate, throwing any recruits they could grab at the problem in the hopes it would fix itself. Obviously, it didn't.
But, that was in the past, wasn't it? You haven't been a part of X-Com in years. But you feel something pulling at your heart. Your blood is boiling to return to the fight, and to be a part of something great again. You can't deny it, no matter how much your more mind rebels against the thought of watching more people die because you couldn't save them.
A phonecall wakes you up in the middle of the night. Which is odd, because this particular phone hasn't rung in nearly seventeen years. When the last X-Com base fell, and anyone who got out did.
The pentagonal shield has gone white from being left out in the sun, its original color once blue.
The box was once considered the epitome of sleek back in its day, but the newer phones coming out make it seem like a dark green brick. The bulky thing hums as it vibrates against the table, hidden underneath a stack of papers and magazines.
It's impossible to deny your urge to pick it up.
"Hello," Comes a voice you thought you'd never hear again, "It's time."
Time to report in to Central.
First, pick a skillset.
>Mechanist
You are the modern craftsman. You turn raw parts into working works of art. You were once part of the science team for X-Com, but during the course of the war you got roped into the fighting as a raw recruit when one too many experiments failed.
>Guerilla
The war never ended. Long have you waged it, and never did a day pass where you weren't fighting. In forests you never make a sound, in the concrete jungle your shadow blends with the surrounding darkness....

>Mechanist
On some missions, others died because were hesitant to break precious alien technology with explosives at your and Vahlen's urging.
On other missions, you survived because you were able to divine purpose of a new artifact and duck split second faster than your squadmates
Is it unchivalrous for paladins, or any good knights, to fight with enchanted weapons / armor because of the advantage it gives them over their opponents?
No. Enchanted weapons are par the course for legends of chivalrous knights and divine warriors.
>>45519576
No, just like it isn't unchivalrous to use plate armor against peasants wearing cloth.
By historical an literary precedent - no.
Roland fought with durendal, the cid with tizona. the former was supposedly indestructible, while the latter was known by sight to every moor and caused them to flee or surrender in fear.
In 3H&3L, which the fantasy paladin is derived from, Holger recovers Curtana.
Welcome to The Lost Island Quest. Last thread our hero, Alan Rodain, had a conversation with his lover, decided on a retirement plan and successfully completed step zero. Now he and his allies prepare to delve into the lair of The Master.

You stand in front of the door leading into the temple. It possesses no obvious handle and an esoteric carving on its front. Kyra and Quissonce are currently going over it with a fine-tooth comb to avoid any traps, magical or otherwise, from disintegrating you all when you eventually figure out how to open the damn thing. That will probably take a few hours at the least, considering how cautious they're being.
Gabby is on the roof, smashing all the gargoyles that did not come to life and try to kill you yesterday with a large club, most likely a souvenir from your...

Speaking of Dolah, she and your lover are currently having a talk with Paul.
“I can help!” he assures them emphatically.
“You may lose control of your rational senses with time. You're a liability.” Dolah rebuts.
Rowe rolls her eyes and puts her hand on Paul's clammy shoulder, deciding to adopt a kinder approach.“You can help by staying out here, Paul. We could use somebody watching the horses and our rear. And Alan's probably going to be blasting positive energy all over the place. Trust me, he has trouble with splash damage.”...

Why do players turn into shitbirds whenever there's money involved?
