You are Vanquish, the masked hero of the night who protects part of Arcadia, a city of the future.
LAST TIME:
We fought a mysterious man called Knightmare, made a friend in the bumbling hero Hurricane Vanguard, and got accepted to be interviewed by the Peacekeeper's Union.
Now, let's henshin a-go-gobaby!

The sun breaks through your window, illuminating your messily kempt room. Your eyes flutter awake, the blue numbers on your alarm clock greeting you.

You move over to your duffel bag, retrieving the cut gloves. Just running your thumb over the gash brings back the memory--the sheer rush of your will made manifest striking against him and making an even match.
Most of the people you catch and apprehend aren't quite on your level. Even the so-called 'superpowered' ones don't have much to do against your will's strength.
That Knightmare guy? You haven't seen shit like him before....

Sitting up against the wall, putting your helmet on to simulate the real thing, you begin.
"I...I'm Vanquish! I want to join Peacekeeper's so my reign of justice is not impeded while the wicked get away!"
"Well," you say, raising your voice into a supposed interviewer, "we have plenty of those. Why are YOU important?"
"My power is quite literally limitless! The only thing holding it back is my emotion, my drive, the sheer force of will that makes me...

Why does every single RPG rulebook seem so long winded and just difficult in terms of how it explains how the game is played. No matter how complicated or rules lite it is they spread everything out across a ton of filler text that can span hundreds of pages.
Like, what the fuck?
Is there an rpg that isn't shit at explaining how it works?
>>45566601
No, welcome to our special Hell
>>45566601
Because it is written by frustated fantasy novel writers who need a paycheck for their alcoholism.
>>45566601
There are two reasons.
The first is because RPG authors are notoriously arrogant. They bristle at criticism and will shut down forums and comment sections to hide from any issues with their product, real or perceived.
The second reason is because many RPG authors are from smaller distributors or self-publish and lack the funds to hire editors.
I'm a technical writer. People in my line of work generally work freelance or for larger companies. We are out of the price range of many small publishers...

You are Charlie Dennet. Magician, student and partial insomniac. Can someone be a partial insomniac, actually? You only sleep once every two or three days and when you do it's usually for about four hours, so maybe insomniac isn't the right word.
You ponder this as you descend the stairs after another, mostly sleepless night. You wander into the kitchen and begin to make yourself simple breakfast, relishing in the silence as none of your housemates have woken up yet. You aren't entirely sure HOW you missed Bart, Cissie and Lil Lobo moving into the house, but apparently you did as you didn't hear any of them leave last night.
Just as your toast pops up, you open the door and collect the newspaper on the stoop.
Sitting at the table you skip the headlines and some of the pages before closing it. From what you can see, it seems to be the world just reacting to the Government's new Superhero Team 'The Justice League of America', interviews about and with Amanda Waller and the speculation regarding a legal policy regarding extraterrestrial aliens on American soil.
You still have about an hour until your first class of the day starts and you aren't sure how you want to spend it. It DOES take you about fifteen minutes to walk to Class.
>A. Get ready for the day. Get dressed, brush some things, wash some things etc. (20 Minutes)
>B. Do a quick study sess. It won't help as much as a dedicated one, but it's a good idea (30 Minutes)

A snowfall starts fluttering down on us, as the river winds it’s way into Oendal.
The city itself feels imposing, grand looming towers in stone grey and thick cloying air that makes it hard to take a full breath. The stench of a thousand coal fires burns any trace of fresh air, and the stick of such a cramped city fills my lungs.
This place seems very friendly.
After a few minutes of sailing down the river, Alison hooks the boat to the left, down a side channel, directing...

The main issue however, is the ten foot wall circling the great church, all the gates locked tight, barring a side entrance beside the larger main gates for the crowds. It doesn’t help that the gate is manned by a burly looking church guard, a heavy cudgel at his hip.
“If the old man’s anywhere, he’d be in here.” Alison nods, clutching her arms and shivering. “Place gives me the willies just looking at it. Still, if we gotta get in.” She shrugs her coat off, undoing the top button of her shirt. “I think I can distract that guard for ye. Lead him to a nice...

Hi /tg/, tabletop newb here.
I'd like to try out a D&D game, but have no idea of where to start. Where'd you all suggest I begin?
Also, any chances of trying it out for free? I'd kind of like to be sure I'll be playing it more before commiting any money to it.
Pic little to not related.
Just download books through torrents and some other sites. d20srd is also free.
I think 5e is pretty friendly to new players, so just download the book and start reading. If you have friends who would like to play, send them a copy. If you don't, use rolld20 or other online gamefinders.
>>45565279
I'd suggest trying anything other than DnD.
>>45565279
Just find a group first and try out what they're playing anon.

"Heeey sis, wake up, come on!" Elizabeth giggles happily as I groan and try to crawl under Maria and my Blanket, as my younger sister continues to pull on it with no doubt a cruel grin on her face "You know they made a nice big breakfast for you two right"
"I don't eat" I groan angrily as I grab the other end...

>Ask for a book.
"Thanks man, if you've got any spare books that you think might be useful I'd be happy to take them off your hands."
He chuckles at that.
"I'd love to but I'm afraid all of the books I have here are ones I plan to use in my lessons. Got it all planned out and everything...Actually, there is one."
He takes a book off the shelf and hands it to you. It reads 'A Lesson In Compliance: Mental Alchemy'. It's old and worn.
"I don't use this one but it was my first, really helped me when I was just setting out. Kept it around for sentimental value but I suppose you can have it."
"Thanks mate, you don't have to if you don't want to."
"No, it's fine! I insist. Keeping a book around isn't very useful, they're meant to be read. Take it."
You do so and with all that out of the way, Tallen agrees to follow you and have a meeting with Hiss.
He speaks up again as the two of you are leaving the College.
"You know what, I didn't even catch your name! I'm no good with them so half the time I feel like I forget to ask."
"It's Cennen."
"Like the stone? A nice name. Actually...have I met you before?"
"I don't think so."
"Strange. An alchemist named Cennen...alchemist named Cennen. Feels like somebody told me about you or someone with your name and job once before maybe. On the tip of my tongue!"
He shakes his head.
"Or probably not. Let's go. I'm only going to have time for a short interview though before I have to head back to do my class, I hope your client understands. I'll arrange a more suitable meeting time with her."
"I think that'll be just fine with her."
You hope it will be anyway.
When the two of you get to the inn you find yourself drawing to a stop. Zigzag is loitering around the street outside of it, apparently entirely unattended. She hasn’t seen you yet but what if she does? What would she say to Tallen? Would she scare him off?

It's probably early. I would play but I'm a noobie about this kind of these things.
Hello and welcome to Priest of God Quest, where you are in fact, a Priest of a God set out on pilgrimage to heal your Deity's hurt pride and ego. This is my first ever quest, so hope y'all will enjoy.
When one thinks of gods, one always thinks of Limbs. No town is complete without at least a small shrine of the disembodied hand, to which the passerby could give a quick prayer. The Priests of Limbs were known throughout the lands, easily recognized and adored by all the people for their works. To the other gods, Limbs was blessed. If a baby was born healthy,...

As you rise from your bed, the morning sun blocked out nearly completely by your thick curtains, you hear a knock at your chamber door. You give permission to enter, and three minions show themselves in. They wordlessly assist you in donning your armor as taught by Duncan, cutting your normal dressing time down by half. Once they're done, one of them reads out your agenda for the day.
"First, a morning meeting to discuss the dissenters popping up in town. Then, a brunch meeting with the local merchant guild. Finally, your court date in the Ninth Ring Circuit...

You excuse the minions and make your way to the conference room dimension, where Duncan, Shen, and Marigold are already waiting. They stand and bow as you enter, and wait until you sit to do so themselves. Duncan is the first to speak.
"We continue to face rebellious individuals seeking to stir up the masses. Some of them are only seeking wealth and prestige, but a handful seem to have real ambition. We've noticed that most of them are adventurers from other lands, who have not witnessed your strength...
