"How can this be?" said they. "We have all the gifts of That Which Is, and those who know them all, they teach, and those who do not know them all, they learn."

"Indeed," replied the Stain. "But there is a power that you were deemed not ready to learn, for it is only the strongest of minds that can learn it, the most righteous of spirits that can resist corruption by it, and the strongest of wills that can bend it to their own command."

And the Stain taught them that foul Thing of calling demons, which we shall only give mention of, and when the demons obeyed with service, those who summoned grew proud and said "I have reached a new pinnacle, I have ascended, soon That Which Is shall smile on me and me alone, and I shall be a God."

And with bowed heads and respectful agreement, the demons would always say, "Yes, indeed you shall."

And as fruit is harvested when it is ripe, when these sorcerers were tainted through and through, when they committed perversion and cruelty in the name of the black rite the demons taught, their servants ate their souls, and walked the world of humanity in the skin of their masters.

That Which Is grew furious at mankind's folly. "You have strayed so far as to have become beyond redemption. You have listened to lies. You have worshipped evil and now evil is your master. You have no need of me, and I have no need of you."

And so That Which Is did not hear humanity's prayers, and as the demons made them slaves, and made sport of their pain and death, they wept.

But there were those who were repentant, and those contrite. "We have fallen from righteousness, and death may be our reward." they said. "But in honor of the faith That Which Is had in us, we shall cleanse this blight as best we can, so that if the creator should return, he may have a blank and clean canvas to begin again on!"

>>53399817
And they waged war against the demons, and they married science and sorcery, and through steel and gunpowder, potion and poison, magic and runes, they beat them back. They tore down their blasphemous towers, they broke their cruel altars, they freed their slaves, and though That Which Is never answered their prayers, they fought in the creator's name, until at last, the Stain itself was cornered.

"Wait!" cried the Stain. "You have proved yourselves superior! Let me be, and I shall teach you everything That Which Is denied you!"

"We see now we were denied because we were unfit." said one who would be called King Orman, "We have lost the light and lost the way, but we shall atone as best we can, and like a penitent child, cleanse the mess we made."

But the Stain could not be wholly destroyed, nor many of the demon lords it had spawned, so they turned the deepest bowels of the world into a massive prison of steel and gears, warded and enchanted to bind them, and with silver and iron chains bound their souls to never be released, and they called this place "Great Gaol", and sealed its doors with layer upon layer of molten rock and adamantine.

Now That Which Is came back after a century, for the souls of the dead walked the world without a god to usher them beyond, and before condemning them all to wander forever, the creator of all sought to see if there was even one repentant soul.

When That Which Is saw what mankind had done, and saw the kings and queens and all humankind bow in supplication, and saw that they had fought to the last breath to amend their mistake, That Which Is wept with great sobs of joy.

"My children. My dearest pride and joy. My soldiers and my paladins. You have broken your shackles. You have renounced your sins. By blood, bone, and sweat you have atoned 10,000 fold."

And humanity wept with joy at being accepted again.

That Which Is fell silent.

>>53399975
"What I ask now is more terrible than my abandonment. What I ask is a dread burden and I shall not begrudge you if you decline."

"the Stain is and shall always be. it will always seek new hearts to taint, new souls to conscript, new worlds to plunder. it is one of many evils." That Which Is said with a heavy tone. "I did not know how to cage it, but you have done so, and bound it good. Thus, with a heavy heart, I ask my repentant and valorous children. Will you and your descendants be the gaolers? Will you lose sleep and stand watch so that worlds beyond the stars will never know the horror you have?"

And mankind spoke among themselves, and thought, and they remembered what the Stain had done.

And it was agreed that they would never let the Stain do it to anyone ever again.

"We shall." said they.

"Oh, my children. You take on yourself a yoke no mortal should have to bear, and I ask you only because you have proven that you can. Know this- though thy lives shall be hard, and thy prisoners shall hiss at thy sleep, when you lay for your final rest, I shall hurry you to my side forever."

And so the sole concern of humanity was to ensure the Great Gaol never opened. And they told their children of what had come before, and what would come again if the Stain were ever released, and they brought masses of rock from the sky to add more layers, and they turned rock to steel and silver and adamantine, and inscribed runes and prayed rituals, in the hopes that the Stain would never be released.

But the Stain was patient, and quieted the demons.

"Do you not know this? A chain is only as strong as the weakest link, be it in this prison, or be it of humanity, or be it not even of this world."

"We shall find this weak link. We shall break it. And we shall storm the Golden Halls, take the souls of those who wronged us, and when we destroy other worlds, we shall make them watch as we burn everything to ash."

>Those
>Cool ideas
Way to go, OP

Also, mandatory ugh

I like the last one. The first sounds really hard to play (2 characters per player?) and the second is cliche'd as hell.

Sorry man I try not to be hypercritical on teeg but its not good.

You deserve a double "Ugh" just for thinking these ideas are cool.

The sky has the appearance of an ocean, with waves rolling and breaking on the horizon.

>Organization.
The time-keepers. Linear time is not "natural" to the setting, which, if left alone, will tend towards gradually coasting in the direction of everything happening simultaneously. These people use enormous magical resources to ensure that time is in fact kept linear and reality as known can be held together, and often tax and steal anyone within reach to prepare the sorts of implements they need in order to keep doing this.

With large noses and eyes, but small physiques, Quicklits scutter from here to there in the dark corners of the world. Quick to steal anything of value dropped and stow it away, they burrow and dig through any substance.

>>53395270

They do. They are just so good the narrator doesnt know about them.

They do, it's just that flayed ones are not very good at their jobs.

They so hard, nobody has the heart to tell them

So what makes these guys different from regular Jump Pack Assault marines aside from the fact these are probably made to work only with the Mk X armor.

Conan short stories, Silmarillion.

You read the Hobbit yet?

I also have something I've written myself, fantasy with magic and a paladin, but since it isn't published (yet) it probably doesn't count.

Kingkiller Chronicle

>>53393831
They can still recruit from conquered planet, stealing other chapter's geneseed

Moreso, time is different in the warp. A chaos space marine might have run away from the Siege of Terra and hid in the eye of terror for what looked like a week to him, but when he steps out the eye of terror 10.000 years have passed

They made new marines.

Is the average of 3d6 + 1000 between 1500 and 2000? You should be able to answer this.

Is there enough depth to a setting like Chaika to even run a game in?

IIRC there's not a lot of depth to the magic. There's enough to serve in a mediocre anime, but I can't remember her spells doing much more than blowing stuff up.

>>53391877
Ripped from the wikia

>The Ripper - Magic slashes.
>The Burner - Explosive fire.
>The Sucker - Sucks sound.
>The Locator - Locates objects with magic sonar.
>The Breaker - Breaks through magic shields.
>The Blinder - Creates a blinding light.
>The Boiler - Boils target.
>The Intruder - Poisons the air or target.
>The Commander - Interference Magic. Nullifies all magic applied on target.
>The Silencer - Nullifies the sound caused on target (like a mute-effect).
>The Floater - Allows user and target to float in the water and in the air. [3]
>The Slugger - Strikes and crushes the target.[3]
>The Overwarming
>The Heavy Wind
>The Buster
>The Annihilator - Large Beam.
>The Meraviglios - Larger large beam.
And it's not like Chaika is the only character in this anime.

Stop it, we are doing Chaika things now!

>>53390192
I'm fairly certain I know the answer to this, but I'd like to ask anyway. What determines what placement effect takes priority? An example I can think of in standard is targeting Relentless Dead with Magma Spray. It's my understanding that since Magma Spray resolves and replaces the effect before Relentless Dead can 'see' the dies trigger, it ends up being exiled. How wrong am I?

>>53390288
Zero wrong. Magma Spray sets up a replacement effect of "if the targeted creature would die this t urn, exile it instead" as it resolves. SBAs see a 2/2 with 2 damage on it, and say "Hey, you gotta die". It's destroyed, and that sends it to the graveyard, but Magma Spray's replacement effect kicks in and shunts it over to exile instead. It didn't "die" (because it never touched a graveyard), so neither of its effects trigger.

If a creature is turned into a Samurai by Sensei Golden Tail putting a Training Counter on it, does Oathkeep return it to the battlefield?

>>53384654

What parts have you stumped, exactly?

>>53384654
1. Choose a general aesthetic for the world
2. Make some norms about things that are different from ours
3. Imagine what would happen in a world with those norms inside the chosen aesthetics
4. Details

>>53384654
Create thing
Why does thing exist the way it does
How does thing look
Why does it look that way

Done, do that for everything thats important and you should end up with something that looks like a cohesive world.

Remember that sometimes showing is better than telling, not everything needs to be clear and mysteries/questions are fun.

S'been a long time since we had one of these.
Anyone here able to explain stuff when it starts?

>>53382419
I think the casters will be talking about it as it happens.

Basically players take turns putting one stone of their color on the board, when you surround a stone or stones of your opponent completely with your stones, you capture them.

>>53382419
The 9 dan guy they had explaining it last year did a very good job of making it accessible.
