How would you create a magic setting where:

a dictatorship run by racist elves that forces people into worshiping nature and generally hugging trees.
mind mages that mindfuck people into generally just leaving them alone.
the anarchy movement that fights the power on a semi-regular basis when they can be fucked.

You've got a letter – an important one, you assume, for them to track you all the way out here.
Here, in this case, is the town of Odan's Harbour, up in the unforgiving north of Tenngaru. Until recently, this was a town in the grip of a crisis, a spate of animal attacks so severe that the town had been fortified with a ring of wooden spears. That was the first line of defence, suitable for keeping the wolves from the door and not much else. Still, with the malign god responsible for riling up the local wildlife put down, things should get back to normal soon enough.
Normal by their standards, you remind yourself as you glance back at the hastily assembled gallows, not yours. You're the outsider here, and it isn't your place to meddle in such affairs. No good can come of it, especially if you end up earning yourself a noose of your own.
Besides, you've got a letter to open. Turning the envelope over in your hands, you let your gaze fall upon the Nameless Temple's seal, stamped into a dribble of wax. Official business, then.
>>45555046
Tearing the thick paper envelope open, you are immediately confronted by a second, smaller envelope and a folded letter. This second parcel is stamped with the crown and moon sigil of the Tatsuhiro family, a sure sign that this has been sent from the palace itself. The palace and the Nameless Temple, you muse as you take a few paces away from the messenger, both writing to you personally. Setting the second envelope aside for now, you skim the note that came with it.
It's a message from the Mentor...

Why is this industry still stuck on books?
Most of the people I know play with PDFs off of laptops or tablets anyways, for the search functionality; but why is everyone still doing hardcovers and PDFs?
Sure they look pretty, but they're not very practical. It's a massive ordeal to errata something that's broken, it's shit for organization and searching purposes, and there's a ton of overhead for printing hard copies.
I would think some kind of entirely digital medium would be the best approach.
What do you guys think of this stuff? Is there a good reason to stick with printed books, or is it just one of those things where the industry isn't keeping up with the times?
>>45549046
Because holding a product you bought in your hands is more rewarding than a PDF. Psychological at least.
Therefore, people willingly will pay more for print-media than digital media.
>>45549177
>Psychological reasons.
Okay fair enough. I feel like going digital they could probably monetize somehow with microtransactions or expansion packs or subscriptions or some shit, but fair enough.
Are there any rational reasons that make sense, on the consumer end, or would it just be better, 100%?
I'm thinking of how much easier it is to play Pathfinder using d20PFSRD than using the actual Pathfinder books, and wondering if it wouldn't be better digital...

Also, even if people are willing to pay more for a hard copy, a digital copy doesn't have all those overhead costs, so the profits may be comparable or maybe even better.
You are Irue Valen, and you are a lot of things. Blood Heir to House Valen, participant in a rite of initiation to prove your worth as an adult, leader of a small group of knights who had once been brigands... The list goes on, but none of that particularly matters to you right now. You stand with your arms crossed, just within the woodline; Staring out across the grassy plains leading down to the town of Carona. You had few good memories of this town, nor its inhabitants, and you were beginning to feel as if the gurgling distaste you held for the place had been mutual all along.
This had been the place you vividly remember sinking your teeth into an infuriatingly self-important man. This had been the place you discovered that no one knew who you were, the place you had sent your maid and Testament only for them to be caught up in a politician's scheme and locked away. Where that same scheme had lead to the blatant abduction and possible framing of another of your Testament, and where you had nearly died in a mineshaft cave in.
That last part wasn't strictly Carona's fault, but it was close enough in proximity that you felt perfectly comfortable lumping it on the pile of reasons you had to be bitter. Seemingly without fail, every encounter you had with this place had resulted in slight, injury, insult, or some piece of you being torn away by its spiteful maw.
Crimson eyes narrowed at the distant walls, the sound of your knights assembling somewhere further into the woods vaguely filtering into your ears, and you felt your teeth grit in a deepening scowl.
Was this what it was like to have enemies? This smouldering sensation buried in the pit of your stomach every time you laid eyes upon it. The stubborn and cemented feeling that you would never get along with something?
"The knight captain approaches."
Asche's warning sounded off from just behind you, your m/aid having taken up her customary position to your left as if the months of separation hadn't changed a thing. You tear your eyes away from the view of the township below, as well as your overlaid fantasy of a pit of flames consuming the place, and turn back to see your knight captain approaching with a resigned gait.
"Nice view, huh?" Dullem brings a hand up to cover his eyes as he takes in the sweeping grassy plains around Carona, "Too...

Let's get our captain's opinion first. Never hurts, right?
Night has fallen on the city of Arcadia. As citizens walk on the streets from their workplaces to see their families, danger still looms around every corner.
Rogues, brutes, and criminals all want to harm these people. Whether it's a scheme to poison the city, or an armed gunman in the streets, every day Arcadia inches closer to a total disaster should these everyday villains succeed.
There is hope, however. Where there is shadow, there must be light. Heroes have come out in full force, armed with powers, technology, or pure strength to help the helpless...

I smile happily, leaning against Miranda, as she squirms around uncomfortably in her uniform. She smiles and leans back against me.
"So, what do you want to do today?" She asks happily, looking up at me with her beautiful
"I don't know" I say shrugging, as I rest my head on her shoulder "What do you want to do?"
"Whatever you want to do" She huffs, puffing her red cheeks out "I don't really care, I mean, it'll be fun so long as it's with you"
"Yeah, but I don't know what I want to do"I huff, puffing my cheeks out as slump forward over the lunch table, laying down on it"Why can't you choose"
"Because I want you to choose!" Miranda whimpers as she lays down next to me
"Er...maybe you should just decide later?" Kandence says, making both of us look up at her as her tail swishes back and forth slowly
What do I do?

Last we left off we had eradicated the demon threat in the lower caves, however the victory came at great cost, butchering our army down to 2 companys of 100 men, nearly half of which are wounded and combat ineffective. We have finally secured the southern caves and thoroughly searched deep into the underdark for further taints of chaos influence, and have so far found nothing. Unfortunately, from a count of the dead, a few of our miners, who turned to chaos have somehow escaped the slaughter of their master and...

you are fighting a single enemy
he wears a full suit of plate armor , in combination with chainmail and padded clothing
his weapon is a regular arm's length longsword
the battlefield is a plain grasland
running is not an option because reasons
you have equal skill levels
you can choose any non-magic build
you can choose any close-combat weapon
you can choose any armor (that is at best as good as your enemy's)
post opinions and strategies , no specific system used for this encounter (might as well be real life in year x)
>>45537290
Chain and warhammer.
also , if you choose a two-handed weapon , this dude will use a polehammer
The same armour as him, a pollaxe, and a dagger.
Close distance, wrestle him to the ground using the pollaxe as leverage, then stab him through his visor (or armpits, or any other gap in his armour) with the dagger until he bleeds out.

Fantasy Craft is a d20 P&P RPG using the OGL. It's geared towards cinematic play where every character can contribute, with solid mechanics designed to give groups lots of flexibility to tailor games to individual preferences. Rather than just a set of bolt-on additions to the OGL d20 system, Fantasy Craft tears it all down and rebuilds from the ground up, steering clear of the major pitfalls of other OGL games and aiming for a more cinematic, narrative-focused style.
Noteworthy points:

Not really, either the games haven't been run or the session we had was just setting us up for our new adventure.
Are black powder weapons viable? They seem like shit with the high reload times.

It's Monday morning, you find yourself staring up at the ceiling. It's going to be a pretty full day, all things considered. You've got to smooth things over with Sammy at some point, deal with Jennifer and her attempts to get information out of you, Tobias will probably be eager to show off his new angelic powers and Athena hasn't come back after heading off to get ice cream with Andrea so things either went wonderfully or terribly. Either way you need to take your daughter aside for a little chat at some point.

Salvation seemed like an illusion, you had managed to save a few ones from the Necron Invasion that was developing on your old homeworld but now that you had already managed to escape from the planet you were far from being safe; for starters the group of survivors that had managed to escape while you were dueling the Necron Lord where now nowhere to be found and even in this Geostationary Space Station there were enslaved and Possessed humans that unwillingly fought for the vile aliens.

As you all advanced you were able to see the dogfighting between the Imperial and Necron ships and how for each Necron destroyed ship the Navy lost at least ten. Even if the combat didn’t seemed to favor the Imperium they needed to be contacted to be informed of the Chronorganic Oxydizer and everything that you had discovered so far… otherwise all the Drop-pods and troops sent down there would die even before they have a chance of combating and the losses will be massive.
