Yes. And?

Lowest Common Denominator groups like writing that's on their level.

Wait are you suggesting the first thrown together setting for a genre of gaming that was, at the time, also being more or less thrown together... has all the elements of something thrown together hastily?

Right now I don't have ideas of my owm, but maybe pic related can help.

What drove the elves to want to go to the moon? Religion? Necessity? Greed? Curiosity? Was it an effort by their government, a group/guild, or a single individual?

How did they conceptualize the moon, the "earth," and space before they were driven to go there? Did they recognize the idea of a planet/celestial body and that the "sky," eventually gives way to something else, it Outer Space? If not, how did the discovery of the nature of the cosmos as a void full of suns and planetary bodies change them and their culture?

What is the moon like? Is it barren rock with no atmosphere and light gravity like ours? Is it more hospitable? Did they teraform it? Do they live in some kind of enclosed bubble city if terraforming it was impossible?

Does being on the moon have any unusual effects on magic, or did they have to develop any special armors/weapons/fighting styles to adjust to living there? Are their native flora/fauna/resources they have to deal with/exploit?

Finally, how do they get there? Portals? Treasure Planet style space galleons? Wizard casts meteor and you grab on while he throws you? Galaxy Express 999?

Answer all these questions, and you'll be on your way.

Everybody should be creative with their environment.

Like >>53421216 says, it should be something everyone does.

If they aren't picking up on it, use it against them a la Tucker's Kobolds.

This.

The dude who casts a fireball that burns 4 baddies is super boring compared to the guy who flips the table onto 4 baddies, knocking them prone and adding advantage to the next people to attack them, and that same guy then runs across the table, inflicting 1d4 bludgeoning damage to all the 4 guys trapped under it, to flying drop kick the 5th dude into the cauldron they were cooking the stolen village sheep in.

I tend to think of it a lot like the real world. Advanced prosthetics, treatments, and cures certainly exist, but the poor and disenfranchised don't have access to them. You'll see a lot more disfigured and disabled people in a slum or third world country than you would in suburban America. Same thing with sci fi. I also like making treatments have varying levels of effectiveness and cosmetics depending on how much one is willing to pay. Pic related for someone who would be considered disabled, even with a functioning prosthetic.

Makes sense. The income gap is always going to be a barrier no matter what setting and if it isn't money exactly it's something else to create it.

That said, having various levels of effective treatment should be something more explored in games. Getting surgery from a back alley doctor shouldn't be nearly as good as going to a legit hospital but then that can change based on how much you're willing to pay give or take if your back alley doctor can get a proper surgery room or is cutting you up in a vets office.

Crazy stylistic augmentations could be a thing when you can't get the ones that look and feel like real limbs.

Kacper was an idiot anyway. You can't retcon or change what didn't exist. If he wants to make a valid complaint about retcons, of which there are a great many, he should start with actual retcons.

No, we still have the largest production rate of autistic behavior. They'll never come close to that.

No, I am already ahead of the curve of others when I enter a new game.
I just don't have the boring dedication needed to play the same game for too long. Who can put in over a hundred hours in tf2? No idea.

One is bunking with the other members of his order. The other hasn't had a place to go for a while.

Just gonna take a moment to drop this off. A quick and dirty Initiating Mesmerist. It's designed to be used w/ the Vexing Daredevil archetype for actual proper swashbuckling, but should function perfectly fine on its own (I think). Would like to hear your thoughts on it, /pfg/.

>implying the Nids will be around long enough for the 'crons to actually fight them
If 40k's "comic relief" race can get they're shit together and start curb-stomping your ass, grumpy old tin skeletons are the least of your worries.
>Seriously, the nids got all the way to Octaria, Orks gave them such a hard time that the Swarmlord had to come in, then Thraka shows up and the angry walking mushrooms proceed to kill every fucking Nid on the planet (and the Octarius system, if I understand correctly).
>That's right, the Swarmlord lost to the Ork with more adamantium in his skull then actual brain matter

Seriously, if the nids are losing to Orks (and the Hive Mind losing to Gork n' Mork by extension), there's no way in HELL the Tyranids stand a chance against a fully-awakened, united Necron race.

>>53418967
Necrons will win, their weapons strip atomic particles off of whatever they shoot, you can't adapt to that, bids can't eat necrons for biomass so eventually miss will realise it's not a fight worth fighting and they will fuck off and leave the necrons alone and devour the rest of the galaxy. Necrons will be left to rule over an empty shell of a galaxy.

Chaos can suck my cock

Experience is only gained from overcoming challenges. If these two PCs have a legitimate grievance, and dueling it out would end this matter to the benefit of one of them, then that one would indeed gain experience points for it - but only that one time.

Otherwise, there's no reason for them to do anything, nothing to learn, and therefore no experience to be gained.

>>53417141

Either >>53417158 or the GM showing basic common sense.

That said, there are systems out there which can actually award bonuses for things like PC sparring without it being imbalancing, even if they're not exactly common.

Depends on the system. Two common reasons are:
High risk of fatal injuries.
PC is not worth any XP.

The PC's are a quirky miniboss squad, duh.

I think we had a thread about this some time ago, check the archives.

>>53416516
I don't think you can, outside turning it into basically XCOM with the Metal Gear campaign slapped on.

I once ripped off the Mass Effect campaign word for word and adapted it to fantasy when I was feeling really lazy, and it only worked because none of my players had played it before.

I never managed to have a game shorter than 6 hours in my entire life and I'm playing and GMing since 2002

Ive had a one shot idea that I havent managed to run yet, but should be interesting.

Everyone is a lvl.1 commoner. They can have up to 100,000 gold worth of magical equipment. The orcs are coming.

I have successfully run one-shots in the past but it felt like a fluke. I don't feel like I properly absorbed how I did it. I am much more prone to serialization. Yet I like the idea of a complete RPG experience in one sitting. I hope this thread enlightens me.

>>53414770
Yes, it's a thing. Yes, it's stupid. All of this new fluff is stupid.

Strongly consider looking into a new game.

>>53414770

In the future all SM will be primaris SM

It was GW's way of changing the old models to new truescale ones without explicitly making the old ones to true scale.

The dragged the manlet marines for too long and now they are forced to subtly change them instead of whiping the old ones out.

Because SMs are what keeps GW running and half the fanbase would go otherwise.

Just look at the nurgle models. Old heresy armor but bigger than regular SM
