Elves. Know them. Love them. Whichever you are talk about them.

How should they be? How should they not be? Best versions? Worst versions?

You can include plenty of elves. That includes the likes of sidhe/fair folk/whatever.

At its core an Elf is a

>blonde haired magical immortal

How the author chooses to interpret that says more about the author than the concept of Elf. The same way if an author wrote about

>giant fire breathing lizards

That happen to be noble savages living in forests and are opressed because of their superior sexual skills that steal all the women.

Nobody would say that dragons are fucked up, they would say the author is fucked up for using the concept of dragon to satisfy his noble savage fetish.

Whether you like it or not, people who were into fantasy have been historically creepy nerds and lonely catladies, and the western fantasy elf is just a reflection of that, as the range goes from a smoking hot fabio in tune with nature to a submissive porn doll begging for dick.

So now you have retards like ITT going on and on about how Elves are this and that, basing it on the ramblings of fat cheeto-encrusted fuckups from the 1970's.

It's like basing all your understanding of Vampires off Twilight and similar "hot vampire lover" novels then touting them as canon because "that's how everybody does them".

New edition, not flawless, but nicely done.

It's mostly R2 with a splodge of 3, or so I hear, and with a dose of Pendragon via the Passions mechanic, which basically is a mechanical reflection of your character's deeper loyalties and enmities, and can be rolled on to augment skill rolls in relevant contexts, or if above 80%, can be invoked by the GM to have you roll to resist a passion-driven impulse, such as to kill a hated enemy, or abandon your family.

There's a fairly humble general that's been rotating on halfchan's /tg/, but there are lorefags who know what's up.

What's particularly bad about Mythras/RQ6? I know it's not quite the same as RQ3, and I'm not going to defend the first edition of Mongoose Runequest, but I don't see much issue with how Mythras panned out.

Did enjoy RQ7, but it's a bit too tied into the glorantha setting; and I didn't particularly like the Pendragon additions.

>>425973

Mongquest 1 was shit, don't ever touch it. However, it did give a BRPesq system an opening to the OGL, so there is that.

MRQII was basically a neutered RQ6/Mythras because apparently, Mongoose is ran by mongs who hate things and money. Eventually renamed to Legend and OGL'd.

RQ6/Mythras is basically a percentile based Sword and Sorcery game.

Non-factual statement. Furthermore, your specific clarification of pre-Sup I seems to be a misnomer, when considering that Sup I only adds to the complication and does nothing to simplify running the game - if anything, you get shit like the cursed item overflow to make things more of a mess.

People who can't figure out LBB don't have the creativity and intelligence required to run a fantasy campaign. You can content that it's obtuse and poorly formatted by modern standards, but to decry as "unplayable" is incorrect.

Hey all! Working on a D12 based urban fantasy system here, based on the SCP foundation, players will be basically field agents. I'm a historian and my buddies are a computer scientist and a graphic designer, we're fucking boomers in our 30's so screw you, this is slow and we're doing this for fun because fandom.

Here's the pastebin link of what little we have:

https://pastebin.com/9f4Tya54

If you have any ideas for skills or whatnot, please do add to this. We would really want this to be done - and we chose D12 because it divides by 2,3,4 and 6 so it's fractal. Working on combat description now, it's gonna be somewhat like ORE, but yeah. Do post ideas. I've got folks who're interested in publishing this in book form, we'd be happy to make this real.

We're also filthy eastern europeans from Latvia. And this is our little thing. That's why namefagging.

Do you have, like, an email I could send autistic ramblings on game design or world building to? And by that, I just mean how the game would play or function on a player level and how'd they'd experience the foundation.

It's called RPC.

But yeah OP if you want imageboard autists to play your game you'd better distance it from SCP. It's generally regarded as having gone to utter shit, not only politically but also in terms of writing quality. Practically speaking it might be best to just make up your own setting, but on the other hand it might be difficult for you to make up a thousand well-written anomalies all on your own. Fortunately, sites like SCP and RPC are creative commons, meaning that you can shamelessly rip-off their better entries without fear of legal reprisal.

Can someone help me understand The "feel" of Planescape?

An example: in any other RPG you can occasionally let the party rest and regroup at an inn or a tavern.

Are there even inns and taverns in Planescape? Or is it too busy looking like one of Lewis Carrol's nightmares?

>Theres a Demiplane of elemental blood filled with madness inducing blood slimegirls

Question is, is it:

The plane where Piscea touched upon the elemental plane of water, in the same manner as the creation of the demiplane of filth with Juiblex? There is an entire species of !notAboleth's on that plane that migrate to dagon's lair/trade with Aboleth, so it's possible.

Related to the sheeding of fiend blood in the blood war?

Linkd to the blood magus Prc, and is what they hear when they are resurrected from death and learn to manipulate to some degree.

Despite what some may think, it's not related to vampires, as D&D vamps don't actually suck blood for blood's sake, bar Nosferatu.

Spring is here and it's time to do some cleaning. Get out all your unused campaign plots, notable NPCs, special monsters, dungeon gimmicks, magical artifacts of questionable usefulness, and homebrew games that you never finished.

Share them here in hopes that another enterprising mind might give them a new mental home. Perhaps someone else will use them or perhaps you'll find a renewed interest in the ideas you forgot you had.

A civilization of seafaring people who are mysteriously immune to scurvy. This immunity appears to be cultural as those adopted into the culture or who join them on their voyages have this immunity and those who leave the culture lose it. They genuinely don't seem to know where this comes from, and none of them have revealed the secret regardless of the interrogation method. The reason is completely mundane: Their diet is rich in fermented vegetables that other cultures find disgusting.

The state of FFG right now is that they've fired most of their permanent RPG staff and are changing workflow to use just a few product leads and then hiring freelancers for each book. Existing writers aren't necessarily gone entirely, but they will have to accept dealing with that unreliable freelance schedule.

When this news came out, I contacted the store I normally order my books from to find out if the supply was going to be affected and I got a decent response back, letting me know that as far as he knew, his existing orders for restock are going to be met and nothing is going out of print for the foreseeable future. It shouldn't be like when they lost the 40k license and you were out of luck if you didn't already have the books that were sold out.

Why is a LE Necromancer and a LG Paladin in the same party?

Why should the party arbitrarily side with a king who invades petty kingdoms, claiming its for stability? Like, if they are from said kingdom, they should want to fight him off and then return the favor with invading HIS kingdom. Bonus point, you have no proof that the king could achieve any stability and could just be another warlord with delusions.

I have NO issue with DM posing this choice mind you, choices like this are great, BUT the DM should be prepared for the party denying his request.

Also, the Paladin was in the right. Bonefucker opinions don't matter.

He is and he isn't. He's got a point, but because he fucks off, the cultist suceeds, summons the tarrasque, which proceeds to unpopulate the fuck out of dragonkind and nearly decimate his companions.

He learns the errors of his ways after some soul-searching with a little help from a dragon polymorhped as an animal to demonstrate some principles of nature or somesuch.

That said, hes not exactly world's best paladin, he's an ex-drunk, his dad (I think?) boned Selune as a mortal, and his sister is an OC Dunut steel Drow/Sun Elf/half-elf combo who essentially got all the cosmic bullshit genes being who's a massive maneater. and the current events involved both good and evil dragons comprimising to combat a common enemy over the issues of a mass migration that would've arguably done damage as a whole to the realms, opposed to a few destroyed cities/ruined agriculture because of the cultists desire for maximum devastation. Hell, it was something directly on Elminster's plate at the time- that's how serious the matter was. E- had to stay at home to deliver one of his best buddies kids wiith the help of a Bruce-Campbell Halfling out of Cheese-cocaine rehab who also let out an old 1e-2e Tethryr blackguard from E's nobility days.

>have paladin

>introduce necromancer

Are you retarded?

Necromancy is not only evil but straight up unholy, you're literally making use of elemental evil.

This is on you, you could've had a monk or a priest to guide the party instead of a literal practitioner of unholy magic.

Not to say the Paladin is smart or good but sure as fuck you setup a situation where the Paladin could do nothing but be against this.

Furthermore, a Paladin is also a FUCKING KNIGHT WHO PLEDGES FEALTY TO A LORD/KING/KINGDOM.

You're an idiot OP.

There are plenty of Simpsons board games. But far as I know we haven’t had a Simpsons RPG in both pen and paper form or even a Simpsons RPG video game. What’s the best system to adapt the Simpsons into a Role-playing game?

Toon wouldn't work, they're not toony enough. You'd need a system good at playing normal, street-level, contemporary settings, with a little wiggle room for low-level oddity, like Homer's partial invulnerability or the odd effect of the plant's radiation.

I assume the goal would be to go about a normal day without dying, or being dragged into the town's eerie Call of Cthulhu atmosphere- with scenarios being generated like that episode of south park with family guy episodes being generated by manatees.

Except with the simpons, and dice to generate an episode scenario using old classic simpsons, and nu-simpson episode formuae, with character sheets for all characers labelled out doing their stereotypical actions as wel as what the DM can improvise is.

Additional goals may be how much the session sounds like a simpsons episode, granting prestige into the next.

Rinsh, was repeat, until you're better than what Simpsons is today, then repackage it, pitch it, and become the new thing.

You should probably do as >>415635 says. If you want a more disorganized sprawl, like the kind you get with really old cities, you could probably make a brush shaped like a rectangle buildings are usually shaped like that in urban sprawls and set the jitter and angle tilts pretty high. There's a guy on youtube that describes the full process here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQL2hK2O5aA

My most effective advice is to be as lazy as possible when making maps. Intelligently designed and planned urban environments do not feel lived in.

OP: was this an online campaign? Cause if so I am afraid that you have no one to blame but yourself. Actually, no, they are still dicks, but you cannot put that much effort into a campaign with randos online. Even people you know IRL that's a big risk. Online randos?

>>saying "stranger go home" is caring too much

>well, some of us believe borders are good

Let me explain. This type of Internet community requires enthusiasm from its participants. This can be positive energy like cooperation or negative energy like flamewar drama.

(if you are not a mod) when you say "stranger go home" you are feeding the drama. You are handing out free subsidies of emotional stimulation to bored trolls who will latch onto any stimulation.

The mod on this board does not often lock threads or ban users. Even if the mod tries to ban users, 8ch.net has a porous architecture and it is hard to keep people banned. (Many people evade bans unintentionally because the system does not keep them out if they accidentally change their ISP or physical location.) If you want "strong borders" you need to ban problem users. Since only the mod has the power to ban, you need to get the mod to want "strong borders."

If you really want to be able to ban users, you need a forum more like rpg.net, which enforced usernames and logins and stirred up ungodly levels of drama so that users would fear the "banhammer." (Of course, that drama attracted trolls and radicalized ordinary users into trolls.)

8ch.net is a very tough territory to defend, even when the mods are willing to expend time and energy on banning.

There's online map generators and a few downloads that will do the cartography for you in an attractive way.

For characters there's Heromachine.

There's not much you can do when flakes bail, just write off the ones that didn't show, and re-use the material for a different party who aren't assholes. Or maybe a novel or something.

75%... that's three out of four, or six out of eight? Either way that sucks.

So far this hasn't been explained at all yet, only that it is a set of instructions to be used as a final resort.

Anyway we got to discussing what it could possibly entail and here's a quite likely plausible scenario

>Imperium is falling fast. Enemies are closing on all sides and even Rowboat and the Primaris aren't enough to stop them.

>A Grey Knights strike force or multiple strike forces, together with one or more purifiers is chosen to breach the entrance to the Throne Room on Terra by any means necessary.

>The rest of the Grey Knights hold off the Custodes

>The single Purifier approaches the Emperor's corpse and begins a ritual of soul transfer. Then he strikes down the Emperor, destroying His corpse.

>The soul of the Emperor enters the Purifier, being one of the very few humans with enough will not to be utterly consumed (and also holy enough). The Purifier's own soul is sacrificed and annihilated.

>The Emperor walks again.

So why not take possession of a Custodes? Well, remember that the Custodes are his sworn bodyguards, their lives forfeit to protect His own. By that reasoning, they won't kill the Emperor as long as he is alive, no matter His condition. Also, they're probably not pure enough.

One of GK stabs the Emprah, who dies and takes a chance with reincarnation.

The rest of them presumably are very busy trying to contain the now-unsealed Warp hole where Terra webway station was supposed to be.

Of course, the Astronomicon remains unfocused until and unless he is actually reborn and got strong enough to return and control the whole thing again. Until then, the entire Imperium is pretty much shut down.

The Daemonifuge?

It would be interesting if she participated in the Emprah's game, that is ran errands directly for him.

But she's a lucky coincidence, not part of any plan.

Also, the problem with Emprah's rebirth is not in opportunity. It's the interregnum - at least 9 months of mayhem without him controlling Astronomicon and keeping the Gate of Terra shut tight.

The following book was made as a joke for April fools, but it was never released. It's been 17 years since it was teased, and much is different now. But I must ask- can we not yet recover this lost, hidden gem? Surely we might be able to contact the writers of the article to recover the forbidden d20 3e splat knowledge of the art of handholding? I long to obtain a .pdf of the review copy, or even what may be one from the writers themselves- it sits awaiting the public eye.

Love commands we find this ancient tome!

So preparing myself for my DnD 5e session that is supposed to start in Baldur's Gate, I begun looking through the modules for some info on the city and so I have downloaded both Descent into Avernus and Muder at Baldur's Gate. While Murder at Baldur's Gate is absolutely amazing with the amount of information that it gives you, Descent into Avernus seems just absolutely fucking bizarre to me when reading through the information provided about the city. The fucking Flaming Fist is now some brutal police force that forces the citizens to form into semi-worker unions to protect themselves from their brutality? What in the name of fuck is that? I know that Flaming Fist is not really a good organization but a neuutral one, and can be pretty brutal, but the fact is that they are still a lawful neutral organization which tries to keep order in an otherwise lawless city. The description in Descent into Avernus makes them seem far too evil.

I admit that I'm new to Forgotten Realms lore and a fresh DM, so I wanted to ask you guys for some material and explanation.

Was The Flaming Fist always like that? Or is this some retards pushing their own agenda onto them? If they are indeed like that, could you show some material that shows that? Either a book or official adventure.

Also thread for general module discussion

I mean fucking look at this, somehow in Murder's in Baldur's Gate the common folk are fucking celebrating the reestablishment of the contract between Baldur's Gate and Flaming Fist. In Descent into Avernus somehow they turned into a cruel police force which opresses their fucking people. There is just a 10 years difference between those two adventures and the ruler of the Flaming Fist didn't fucking change. Murder in Baldur's Gate was in 1482 and Descent into Avernus was in 1492.

What in the name of fuck happened here? Why the fuck did the people of Baldur's Gate suddenly form gangs to protect themselves from apparently oppresive Flaming Fist?
